Item posted by Didier LINK <Arabidopsis> on Mon 23 Oct 2006 08:47:59 AM UTC.

I'm pleased to announce the release of the gnu-ghostscript-8.55.

This release is an adaptation of GPL Ghostscript version 8.54, with
changes to make it compliant with GNU standards and policies.  It is
available from the GNU Ghostscript project page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/

This release include many bugs fixed over GNU Ghostscript 8.16, and an
update of the configure script for a better flexibility.

This list is from the 8.54 GPL version released by Artifex Software,
Inc. and artofcode LLC :

  • 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, images and
  graphics.

  • A rendering performance enhancement for PDF's with transparency

  (10x to 90x on files with many small transparency
  regions/groups).

  • Numerous fixes and improvements in the area of PDF 1.6 handling.
  • JBIG2 and JPEG 2000 images support.


Enjoy !
