changes:
-improvements for embedded/propietary use, irrelevant for pkgsrc
-comes with own copy of jpeg lib, no need to download separately
-bug fixes and rendering improvements
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
* Numerous bug fixes and improvements, particularly in the area DeviceN
(spot color) handling and the PDF interpreter.
* The pdfwrite device can now create PDF/X-3 compliant documents using the
lib/PDFX_def.ps prefix approach. See doc/Ps2pdf.htm documentation.
*A Beta version level 2 Postscript output device, ps2write, which generates
high-level PostScript including text and images and graphics.
* A rendering performance enhancement for PDF's with transparency (10x to 90x
on files with many small transparency regions/groups).
This is lurking in my tree for a long time, was hoping to find
time&energy to libtoolize it, but I've given up on this.
It is still much better than GNU ghostscript in particular for
use with scribus, so it is worth having anyway.
