------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 29 10:31:01 UTC 2021 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> - Use update-alternatives to get the real ghostscript binary from /usr/bin/gs to /usr/bin/gs.bin and allow the gswrap package to use this with its wrapper script (jira#PM-3037) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 10 09:37:46 CEST 2021 - jsmeix@suse.de - CVE-2021-3781.patch fixes CVE-2021-3781 Trivial -dSAFER bypass cf. https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704342 (bsc#1190381) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jul 27 08:28:04 CEST 2020 - jsmeix@suse.de - CVE-2020-15900.patch fixes CVE-2020-15900 Memory Corruption (SAFER Sandbox Breakout) cf. https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702582 (bsc#1174415) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 28 14:17:59 CEST 2020 - jsmeix@suse.de - The version upgrade to 9.52 fixes in particular CVE-2020-12268: jbic2dec: heap-based buffer overflow in jbig2_image_compose (bsc#1170603) - Version upgrade to 9.52 Highlights in this release include: * The 9.52 release replaces the 9.51 release after a problem was reported with 9.51 which warranted the quick turnaround. Thus, like 9.51, 9.52 is primarily a maintenance release, consolidating the changes we introduced in 9.50. * IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt (the "mt" indicating "multi-thread"). LCMS2 is not thread-safe, and cannot be made thread-safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread-safe and include performance enhancements (these changes have all been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. If there is sufficient interest, our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF). * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes: * New option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY: The transparency compositor (and related features), whilst we are improving it, remains sensitive to being driven correctly, and incorrect use can have unexpected/undefined results. Hence, as part of improving security, we limited access to these operators, originally using the -dSAFER feature. As we made "SAFER" the default mode, that became unacceptable, hence the new option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY which enables access to the operators, cf. https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/Use.htm#ALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY For a release summary see: https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - Version upgrade to 9.51 Highlights in this release include: * 9.51 is primarily a maintainance release, consolidating the changes we introduced in 9.50. * We have continued our work on code hygiene for this release, with a focus on the static analysis tool Coverity (from Synopsys, Inc) and we are now maintaining a policy of zero Coverity issues in the Ghostscript/GhostPDL source base. * IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of OpenPrinting (http://www.openprinting.org/) it is our intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future, remove the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers (that is, the opvp and oprp devices). If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch with us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream), so we can discuss your use case, and revise our plans accordingly. * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. For a release summary see: https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.51/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - Version upgrade to 9.50 Highlights in this release include: * The change to version 9.50 follows recognition of the extent and importance of the file access control redesign/reimplementation outlined below. * The file access control capability (enable with -dSAFER) has been completely rewritten, with a ground-up rethink of the design. For more details, see: "SAFER" at https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer * It is important to note that -dSAFER now only enables the file access controls, and no longer applies restrictions to standard Postscript functionality (specifically, restrictions on setpagedevice). If your application relies on these Postscript restrictions, see "OLDSAFER" at https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#OldSafer and please get in touch, as we do plan to remove those Postscript restrictions unless we have reason not to. IMPORTANT: File access controls are now enabled by default. In order to run Ghostscript without these controls, see "NOSAFER" at https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#NoSafer * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes: * There are a couple of subtle incompatibilities between the old and new SAFER implementations. Firstly, as mentioned above, SAFER now leaves standard Postcript functionality unchanged (except for the file access limitations). Secondly, the interaction with save/restore operations, see "SAFER" at https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer * The following is not strictly speaking new to 9.50, as not much has changed since 9.27 in this area, but for those who don't upgrade with every release: The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have removed only non-standard and undocumented operators. Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators may stop working, or may change behaviour. If you encounter such a case, please contact us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream, either the #ghostscript IRC channel or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work with you to either find an alternative solution or return the previous functionality, if there is genuinely no other option. One case we know this has occurred is GSView 5 (and earlier). GSView 5 support for PDF files relied upon internal use only features which are no longer available. GSView 5 will still work as previously for Postscript files. For PDF files, users are encouraged to look at MuPDF https://www.mupdf.com/ For a release summary see: https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - CVE-2019-10216.patch CVE-2019-14869.patch gs-CVE-2019-14811-885444fc.patch gs-CVE-2019-14817-cd1b1cac.patch openjpeg4gs-CVE-2018-6616-8ee33522.patch are fixed in the version 9.52 upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 11 15:49:40 CET 2019 - jsmeix@suse.de - CVE-2019-14869.patch contains commit from Ghostscript upstream https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=485904772c5f to fix CVE-2019-14869 "-dSAFER escape in .charkeys" (bsc#1156275) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 16 13:01:18 UTC 2019 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> - Port latest ghostscript 9.27 from factory including latest security patches to SLES15/SLES12 * Port patch CVE-2019-10216.patch to 9.27 which is the orignal upstream commit now * Drop patch CVE-2019-3838.patch as now part of 9.27 * Let it build even with freetype 2.5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 16 11:58:41 UTC 2019 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> - Add patch gs-CVE-2019-14811-885444fc.patch to fix bsc#1146882 for CVE-2019-14811,CVE-2019-14812,CVE-2019-14813 - Add patch gs-CVE-2019-14817-cd1b1cac.patch to fix bsc#1146884 for CVE-2019-14817 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 13 14:15:10 UTC 2019 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> - Add patch openjpeg4gs-CVE-2018-6616-8ee33522.patch to fix bsc#1140359 for CVE-2019-12973 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Aug 12 11:32:08 UTC 2019 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> - CVE-2019-10216.patch fixes CVE-2019-10216 forceput/superexec in .buildfont1 is still accessible https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144621 bsc#1144621 https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701394 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 4 14:37:09 CEST 2019 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.27 Highlights in this release include: * We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) have extensively cleaned up the Postscript name space: removing access to internal and/or undocumented Postscript operators, procedures and data. This has benefits for security and maintainability. Incompatible changes: The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have removed only non-standard and undocumented operators. Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators may stop working, or may change behaviour. If you encounter such a case, please contact us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) - (either the #ghostscript IRC channel, or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work with you to either find an alternative solution. * Fontmap can now reference invidual fonts in a TrueType Collection for font subsitution. Previously, a Fontmap entry could only reference a TrueType collection and use the default (first) font. Now, the Fontmap syntax allows for specifying a specific index in a TTC. See the comments at the top of (the default) Fontmap.GS for details. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. IMPORTANT: It is our intention, within the next 12 months (ideally sooner, in time for the next release) to make SAFER the default mode of operation. For many users this will have no effect, since they use SAFER explicitly, but some niche uses which rely on SAFER being disabled may need to start explicitly adding the "-dNOSAFER" option. IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF). For a release summary see: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.27/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-16509 https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699714 https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699718 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108027 bnc#1108027 Regarding what the above "should fix" means: PostScript is a general purpose Turing-complete programming language (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript) that supports in particular file access on the system disk. When Ghostscript processes PostScript it runs a PostScript program as the user who runs Ghostscript. When Ghostscript processes an arbitrary PostScript file, the user who runs Ghostscript runs an arbitrary program which can do anything on the system where Ghostscript runs that this user is allowed to do on that system. To make it safer when Ghostscript runs a PostScript program the Ghostscript command line option '-dSAFER' disables certain file access functionality, for details see /usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.25/Use.htm Its name 'SAFER' says everything: It makes it 'safer' to let Ghostscript run a PostScript program, but it does not make it completely safe. In theory software is safe against misuse (i.e. has no bugs). In practice there is an endless sequence of various kind of security issues (i.e. software can be misused to do more than what is intended) that get fixed issue by issue ad infinitum. In the end all that means: In practice the user who runs Ghostscript must not let it process arbitrary PostScript files from untrusted origin. In particular Ghostscript is usually run when printing documents (with the '-dSAFER' option set), see the part about "It is crucial to limit access to CUPS to trusted users" in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 13 14:14:39 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.25rc1 (first release candidate for 9.25). Highlights in this release include: * This release fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files), and some additional security issues over the 9.24 release. * Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits. PLEASE NOTE: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues. * Avoid that ps2epsi fails with 'Error: /undefined in --setpagedevice--' Recent changes required to harden SAFER mode mean that it is no longer possible to run ps2epsi in SAFER mode, because it relies upon unsafe Ghostscript non-standard extension operators. Removing SAFER and DELAYSAFER, and the code to reset SAFER, allow ps2epsi to run as well as it ever did (ie badly). This program (i.e. ps2epsi) should now be considered unsafe, you should not use it on untrusted PostScript programs. Likely we (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) will deprecate and remove this program in future. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 13 10:25:21 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.24 Highlights in this release include: * Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits. PLEASE NOTE: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues. * As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant amount of work improving its robustness in the face of out specification files. * IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF). * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. For a release summary see: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.24/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - fix_ln_docdir_gsdatadir.patch is no longer needed because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources. - CVE-2018-10194.patch is no longer needed because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 5 14:47:59 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - CVE-2018-10194.patch fixes stack-based buffer overflow in gdevpdts.c (bsc#1090099), see https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699255 and http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=39b1e54b2968620723bf32e96764c88797714879 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 22 12:51:39 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.23 Highlights in this release include: * Ghostscript now has a family of 'pdfimage' devices (pdfimage8, pdfimage24 and pdfimage32) which produce rendered output wrapped up as an image in a PDF. Additionally, there is a 'pclm' device which produces PCLm format output. * There is now a ColorAccuracy parameter allowing the user to decide between speed or accuracy in ICC color transforms. * JPEG Passthrough: devices which support it can now receive the 'raw' JPEG stream from the interpreter. The main use of this is the pdfwrite/ps2write family of devices that can now take JPEG streams from the input file(s) and write them unchanged to the output (thus avoiding additional quantization effects). * PDF transparency performance improvements * IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF). * We have continued the focus on code hygiene in this release cleaning up security issues, ignored return values, and compiler warnings. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes * The planned device API tidy has, unfortunately, been indefinitely postponed, until appropriate resources are available. For a release summary see: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.23/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. See also the entries below since "Version upgrade to 9.22" (boo#1082896 and boo#1074266). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 16 12:39:36 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - For now use lcms2 from SUSE because that is what currently Ghostscript upstream recommends according to https://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2018-March/010061.html because since Ghostscript 9.23rc1 there is no longer lcms2 in Ghostscript but now it is lcms2art which is the beginning of a lcms2 fork, see News.htm that reads in particular "LCMS2 is not thread safe ... Our fork will be thread safe ... We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity", see also https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c14 - On SLE11 and on SLE12-SP1 there is liblcms2-2-2.5 which is too old so that configure fails there with configure: error: lcms2 not found, or too old but there is no configure option to build it without lcms2 so that for SLE11 and SLE12-SP1 it is built with the lcms2art in Ghostscript. - ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because it only contained a fix for lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h in Ghostscript but currently lcms2 from SUSE is used instead (see above). - Do no longer require any fonts packages in particular neither require ghostscript-fonts-std because the PostScript Base35 fonts are provided by Ghostscript (in 'Resource') nor require ghostscript-fonts-other (provides Bitream Charter, Adobe Utopia, URW Antiqua, URW Grotesq and Hershey fonts where all but the last are also provided by texlive-<name>-fonts) and those fonts are not required for PostScript compliance, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c13 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 15 11:19:33 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.23rc1 (first release candidate for 9.23).

For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include: * Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite device) PDF 2.0 compliant files. * The main focus of this release has been security and code cleanliness. Hence many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and Coverity issues have been addressed. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes * The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update. - Up to 9.22rc1 it "just built" for all openSUSE versions but since 9.22rc2 the libijs part does no longer buid for any released openSUSE version where if fails with messages like libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2, but the definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.2. You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2 and run autoconf again. Makefile: recipe for target 'ijs.lo' failed so that currently it only builds for Tumbleweed/Factory. Presumably it is not too complicated to make it build again also for released openSUSE versions but currently I have less than zero energy to fix such "latest breaking changes" so that for now Ghostscript 9.22 is only provided for openSUSE Tumbleweed/Factory and the upcoming SLE15/Leap15. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 29 09:12:06 CEST 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.22rc2 (second release candidate for 9.22).

For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include: * pdfwrite now preserves annotations from input PDFs (where possible). * The GhostXPS interpreter now provides the pdfwrite device with the data it requires to emit a ToUnicode CMap: thus allowing fully searchable PDFs to be created from XPS input (in the vast majority of cases). * Ghostscript now allows the default color space for PDF transparency blends. * The Ghostscript/GhostPDL configure script now has much better/fuller support for cross compiling. * The tiffscaled and tiffscaled4 devices can now use ETS (Even Tone Screening) * The toolbin/pdf_info.ps utility can now emit the PDF XML metadata. * Ghostscript has a new scan converter available (currently optional, but will become the default in a near future release). It can be enabled by using the command line option: '-dSCANCONVERTERTYPE=2'. This new implementation provides vastly improved performance with large and complex paths. * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes: * The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter).

Purely a maintenance release. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include: * The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes: * The planned device API tidy did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API.

Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 23 15:43:27 CET 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.19. Mainly a maintenance release. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include: * Metadata pdfmark is now implemented. This allows the user to specify an XMP stream which will be written to the Catalog of the PDF file. A new pdfmark 'Ext_Metadata' has been defined. This takes a string parameter which contains XML to be add to the XMP normally created by pdfwrite. See "pdfwrite pdfmark extensions" for more information. * An experimental, rudimentary raster trapping implementation has been added to the Ghostscript graphics library. See "Trapping" for details. Incompatible changes: * (Minor) API change: copy_alpha now supports 8 bit depth (as well as the previous 2 and 4). * The gs man pages are woefully out of date and basically unmaintained. With the release following 9.19, we intend to replace their contents with a very limited summary of (unlikely to ever change aspects of) calling Ghostscript, and a pointer to the (maintained) HTML documentation. That is, unless a volunteer is willing to update, and commit to maintaining the man pages. * ijs-config is no longer provided Planned incompatible changes: * We plan (ideally for the release following 9.19) to somewhat tidy up the device API. We plan to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers). We also intend to merge the imager state and graphics state (thus eliminating the imager state), and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update. - fix_make_install.patch fixes and add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch are no longer needed because both issues are fixed in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 18 10:13:23 CET 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.19rc1 (first release candidate for 9.19). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing - ijs-config is no longer provided - fix_make_install.patch fixes an install error and add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch fixes an autoconf error see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696665 - fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources. - install_gserrors.h.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jan 29 06:00:51 UTC 2016 - fcrozat@suse.com - Add fix-mutex-crash.patch: fix crash in mutex (bsc#963017) (ghostscript bug #695862) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 18 11:46:58 UTC 2015 - schwab@suse.de - Do not use library sources for freetype jpeg libpng tiff zlib from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because we prefer to use for long-established standard libraries the ones from SUSE in particular to automatically get SUSE security updates for standard libraries. In contrast we use e.g. lcms2 from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because this one is specially modified to work with Ghostscript so that we cannot use lcms2 from SUSE. - remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch removes dependency on zlib/zlib.h in makefiles as we do not use the zlib sources from the Ghostscript upstream tarball. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Nov 5 13:33:14 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - An incompatible change appeared when building other software with Ghostscript 9.18. Since version 9.18 Ghostscript does no longer provide e_<SomeError> (e.g. e_NeedInput) in its header files (gserrors.h and ierrors.h). When building other software with Ghostscript 9.18 gs_error_<SomeError> (e.g. gs_error_NeedInput) must be used, see boo#953149 and http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696317 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 30 11:28:14 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - install_gserrors.h.patch installs gserrors.h to fix http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696301 because without gserrors.h several other packages fail to build (in particular texlive, libspectre, gimp,...). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 12 10:26:52 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch fixes the Ghostscript device ijs and the x11* devices so that they also work when -dFirstPage/-dLastPage is used, see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696246 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 6 10:21:22 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.18. A maintenance release. There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing). Highlights in this release include: * A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL directory structure. Ghostscript-only users should not be affected by this change. * A new method of internally inserting devices into the device chain has been developed, named "device subclassing". This allows suitably written devices to be more easily and consistently as "filter" devices. The first fruit of this is a new implementation of the "-dFirstPage"/"-dLastPage" feature which functions a device filter in the Ghostscript graphics library, meaning it works consistently with all input languages. * Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. See http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.18/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 29 11:05:48 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.18rc2 (second release candidate for 9.18).

Primarily a maintenance release. There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing). Highlights in this release include: * "LockColorants" command line option for tiffsep and psdcmyk devices. * Improved high level devices handling of Forms. See http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.16/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - fix.including.pread.pwrite.pthread_mutexattr_settype.diff is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 25 12:38:16 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - fix.including.pread.pwrite.pthread_mutexattr_settype.diff fixes on SLE11 implicit declaration of function warnings for 'pread' 'pwrite' 'pthread_mutexattr_settype' see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695882 - ppc64le-support.patch is a remainder of the previous patch now the hunk for LCMS (lcms/include/lcms.h) is removed because LCMS 1.x is removed since Ghostscript 9.16 but the hunk for LCMS2 (lcms2/include/lcms2.h) is still needed see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695544 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 20 17:12:34 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.16rc2 (second release candidate for 9.16). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Sep 28 18:00:37 CEST 2014 - ro@suse.de - readd ppc64le patch ppc64le-support.patch (adapted for lcms2 in Ghostscript version 9.15): the tests in lcms2.h cannot work without "include <endian.h>" that is now added and regardless that lcms is not used by default (unless the configure option --with-lcms is set), lcms is again fixed (see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695544). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 23 10:14:28 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.15. Primarily a maintenance release. There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing). Highlights in this release include: * Ghostscript now supports the PDF security handler revision 6. * The pdfwrite and ps2write (and related) devices can now be forced to "flatten" glyphs into "basic" marking operations (rather than writing fonts to the output), by giving the -dNoOutputFonts command line option (defaults to "false"). * PostScript programs can now use get_params or get_param to determine if a page contains color markings by reading the pageneutralcolor state from the device (so whether the page is "color" or "mono"). Note that this is only accurate when in clist mode, so -dMaxBitmap=0 and -dGrayDetection=true should both be used. * The pdfwrite device now supports Link annotations with GoTo and GoToR actions. * The pdfwrite device now supports BMC/BDC/EMC pdfmarks * Regarding the new color management for the pdfwrite device introduced in the previous release, the proscription on using the new color management when producing PDF/A-1 compliant files is now lifted. To reiterate, also, with the new color management implementation, using the UseCIEColor option is strongly discouraged. For further information on the new pdfwrite color management, see in Ps2pdf.htm the "Color Conversion and Management" section. * Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 17 12:17:47 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.15rc2 (second release candidate for 9.15). Ghostscript upstream QA highlighted a couple of issues that they felt warranted a fresh release candidate. For details see the History9.htm file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 9 16:06:31 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.15rc1 (first release candidate for 9.15). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources. - Removed trailing whitespaces in spec file and changes file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 27 12:21:55 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.14. Primarily a maintenance release. Highlights in this release include (excerpt): * pdfwrite now uses the same color management engine as Ghostscript rendering devices (by default LCMS2). For the duration of this release a new switch -dPDFUseOldCMS is available which will restore the old color management. See: "Color Conversion and Management" in Ps2pdf.htm Due to constraints of the PDF/A-1 specification, the new color management does not yet apply when producing PDF/A files. * A new device 'eps2write' has been added which allows for the creation of EPS files using the ps2write device instead of the deprecated and removed pswrite device. The epswrite device is now also deprecated and will be removed in a future release. * Ghostscript has a new "pwgraster" output device for PWG Raster output. * The CUPS device now has improved support for PPD-less printing. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 13 19:09:12 UTC 2013 - uweigand@de.ibm.com - ppc64le-support.patch from IBM fixes endianness in lcms (the Little-CMS library) to support the new architecture ppc64le (IBM Power PC Little Endian architecture) because ppc64 is big-endian and ppc64le is little-endian and lcms has a hard-coded check that assumes PowerPC is always big-endian which is incorrect on ppc64le. The fix is already in the main Little-CMS repository by this Git commit https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/commit/b4f5c91a2c1582bd284f0d0f49cb43e2c2235a79 (There are some cosmetic changes in the upstream patch.) It is not yet in the imported copy in Ghostscript. IBM will work with upstream to get the fix imported too. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 3 16:26:46 CEST 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.10. Primarily a maintenance release. Highlights in this release include: * LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the latest versions. * The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the latest version, fixing many compatibility problems with the Adobe fonts. * The CUPS filters gstoraster and gstopxl have been removed from Ghostscript. Those filters are now provided by cups-filters (a free software package hosted by OpenPrinting) that contains all CUPS filters needed by CUPS under Linux (see also the openSUSE issue bnc#735404 comment#44 at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c44). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - fix-undefined-operation.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 29 15:06:13 CEST 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.10rc1 (release candidate for the 9.10 version). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. - Prepare spec files to build both releases and release candidates easily in the future by using special different version strings. - fix-undefined-operation.patch fixes http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694546 - Removed BuildRequires for liblcms-devel because it is not needed when we build Ghostscript that works in compliance with upstream (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828751#c5). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 27 07:58:08 UTC 2013 - mmeister@suse.com - Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 19 13:51:06 CET 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 9.07. * As of this release (9.07), Ghostscript is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). * Ghostscript has been extended to support file sizes >4Gb in particular reading and writing PDF files. * Color management enhancements. Full details of the color management features can be found in: GS9_Color_Management.pdf * The pdfwrite devices now supports linearized (or optimized for fast web view) output directly ("-dFastWebView"). * With the addition of linearisation to pdfwrite, pdfopt.ps has become redundant. Since it is difficult to maintain, has a number of bugs, and is believed not to work properly anyway, it is removed. Accordingly the pdfopt shell script that used pdfopt.ps is also removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 3 11:58:51 CET 2013 - jsmeix@suse.de - Provide libijs (that is not done via "configure --with-ijs") because libijs is needed by the pdftoijs filter in the cups-filters package (see the README file in cups-filters). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 27 12:02:51 UTC 2012 - mmeister@suse.com - Version upgrade to 9.06. Mainly a bugfix release. * pdfwrite announcements: pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files. For further details see the NEWS file. * removed moribund dumphint tool, see History9.htm and http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693223 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 24 10:44:57 UTC 2012 - idonmez@suse.com - "export SUSE_ASNEEDED=0" disables -Wl,--as-needed linker flags, see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693100 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 10 15:49:33 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Require Ghostscript's font packages because the Ghostscript package provides the "Fontmap" file /usr/share/ghostscript/<version>/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS which lists Ghostscript's fonts but the fonts itself are provided in the separated packages ghostscript-fonts-std and ghostscript-fonts-other so that a RPM requirement is needed to make sure that Ghostscript has its fonts. - Extract the catalog of devices which are actually built-in in exactly this Ghostscript and provide it as catalog.devices in the Ghostscript package. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 27 10:40:53 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - BuildRequires dbus-1-devel for "configure --enable-dbus" to have colord support in gstoraster (see the entry regarding "color management daemon" in doc/History9.htm). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 24 14:30:45 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Install documentation which is not installed by default (LICENSE doc/AUTHORS doc/COPYING doc/thirdparty.htm doc/WhatIsGS.htm doc/GS9_Color_Management.pdf doc/gs-vms.hlp doc/Ps2ps2.htm). - Add a link from SUSE's usual documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/) to Ghostscript's documentation directory (/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/doc/) because "configure --docdir=..." does not work. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 5 15:06:56 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Removed BuildRequires docbook-toys which is not needed (db2ps and db2pdf called in ijs/Makefile.am to make ijs_spec.ps and ijs_spec.pdf but neither of them is made - both are provided in the sources) but docbook-toys pulls in packages like texlive-bin-jadetex and texlive-jadetex which needlessly blow up the build system. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 28 10:59:21 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Require the basic fonts for Ghostscript (package ghostscript-fonts-std) and recommend the optional fonts (package ghostscript-fonts-other). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 23 11:32:28 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Cleaned up BuildRequires. - Added ghostscript-mini.spec with minimal BuildRequires. - Explicitly specify configure --with-* versus --without-* in ghostscript.spec versus ghostscript-mini.spec to make the differences clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 16 10:27:01 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Unfortunately ghostscript-library.spec and ghostscript-mini.spec have unversioned "Provides: ghostscript" and for RPM this means that both ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini provide any version of ghostscript. Therefore any non-matching version of ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini fulfill any RPM requirement for ghostscript in the ghostscript-x11 and ghostscript-devel sub-packages which is wrong. Therefore explicit conflicts with ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini are specified in the ghostscript-x11 and ghostscript-devel sub-packages to avoid the mess. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 15 16:43:26 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Configure --without-libpaper disables libpaper support because SUSE does not have libpaper. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 15 12:28:36 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Configure --without-jasper and --enable-openjpeg because since Ghostscript 9.05 JasPer is deprecated and Ghostscript now ships modified OpenJPEG sources for JPEG2000 decoding (replacing JasPer). Performance, reliability and memory use whilst decoding JPX streams are all improved. Accordingly the BuildRequires libjasper-devel is removed. - Configure --without-ufst and --without-luratech because those are relevant to commercial releases only which would require a commercial license. - Added BuildRequires libtool which requires automake and automake requires autoconf to fix build requirements for openSUSE:Factory. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 24 16:48:06 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Using fixed /usr/lib/cups/filter (no lib64) because CUPS in the Printing project uses it in any case. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 24 15:21:05 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Adapt RPM dependencies to what is actually used in openSUSE:Factory (dated 22 Feb. 2012). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 16 15:36:21 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Added RPM dependencies to make sure ghostscript-x11 and the main-package have exact matching version-release because both could have any kind of Ghostscript-internal dependencies. This is only an approximation to have ghostscript-x11 and the main-package from the same build where the main-package and its sub-package have been made but currently there is no clean way to specify a 'same build' RPM dependency. Therefore currently ghostscript-x11 and the main-package could have same version-release but nevertheless come from different projects/repositories (e.g. with different patches or whatever kind of differences). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Feb 15 11:42:41 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Split files which require X11 stuff into a ghostscript-x11 sub-package (currently only /usr/lib/ghostscript/9.05/X11.so) so that the ghostscript package can be installed without X11. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 9 11:34:33 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Upgrade to version 9.05 (see bnc#735824): New simple ink-coverage device (inkconv). The ps2write device has a large number of improvements. Fixes and improvements for the CUPS Raster output device (in particular Ghostscript bug 691922 regarding color model). Renamed the PXL CUPS filter from "pstopxl" to "gstopxl". For details see the doc/News.htm file. - Removed "make cups" and "make cups-install" from spec file using "configure ... --with-install-cups" instead (new since version 9.04, see "configure --help"). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Dec 13 15:18:06 UTC 2011 - jw@suse.com - Upgrade to version 9.04 (see bnc#735824): For details see the doc/News.htm file. - Added "make cups" and "make cups-install" to spec file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 15 16:06:40 CET 2011 - jsmeix@suse.de - Initial ghostscript package.
