- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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).

- 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- Let ghostscript-mini "Conflicts: ghostscript-library".

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 28 10:59:21 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Require only the basic fonts for Ghostscript
  (package ghostscript-fonts-std) but do not recommend
  optional fonts (package ghostscript-fonts-other).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 23 11:32:28 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Cleaned up BuildRequires.
- Explicitly specify configure --with-* versus --without-*
  in ghostscript.spec versus ghostscript-mini.spec
  to make the differences clear.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 20 16:07:56 CET 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Initial ghostscript-mini package.
