gv 3.6.1 released

Item posted by Jose E. Marchesi <jemarch> on Mon 27 Dec 2004 08:14:32 PM UTC.

GNU gv 3.6.1 has been released today. It is available for download in
the GNU ftp, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gv

Changes on this release:


# New set of command line arguments. This solves the horrid bug on
  gv 3.6.0 that made such release nearly unusable. See the
  documentation for details about the new argument list.

# The "Reopen" entry on the File menu has been renamed to "Reload" in
  order to be coherent with the "Reload" button.

# The distributed package structure have been fixed, now conforming a
  legal GNU source package.

# The delete key now work as expected, that is, it deletes the next
  character rather the last character when typed on text entries.

# Dot files are not shown by default on file selection forms.

# If you try to open an empty file you get a coherent error
  message.

# New manual page

  • Most of the Debian patches has been applied to gv:


  162830_scanf.diff (Fix a security risk involving buffer overflows)
  167029_argv.diff  (Fix an access beyond end of array on process.c)

  223556_hidden_dir.diff (Do not show dot files on file listings)
  250854_tmp_umask.diff (Tempfiles should not be created worldreadable)
  252548_errno.diff (Wrong error message while opening empty files)
  179643_bad_dsc.diff (Make DSC parsing case-insensitive)
  159433_delete_key.diff (Change behaviour of Delete key on text entries)

  • The gs command used for PDF to PostScript conversion has been fixed to allow

  document saving.
