API. For unix, build using "make so". Added loader programs for Ghostscript
interpreter library for Linux (dxmain.c), Windows (dw*.c) and OS/2
(dpmain.c). Add new "display" device for use with the new API. Linux
dxmain.c uses the "display" device, Gtk+ and GdkRgb for faster drawing than
the "x11" device. (devs.mak [1.43], gsdll2.def [1.2], gsdll32.def [1.2],

When building the Linux shared object, separate directories soobj and sobin
are used to prevent 'make' from mixing the object files and building a

<h1><a name="Version6.60"></a>Version 6.60 (2000-12-31)</h1>

<p>
This long-overdue fileset includes major new developer documentation, major
improvements in the PDF writer (for embedded fonts and for DSC comments),
and lots of bug fixes.  Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the release
"smoke test" loops forever on the file data/ps/screen.ps -- but only when
compiled in 'production' mode, not in 'debug' mode.  We suspect a gcc bug,
but don't have the time to track it down before the end of the millennium.

<h3><a name="6.60_Incompatible_changes"></a>Incompatible changes</h3>

<pre>
(Interpreter)
	- With WMode = 1, CID-keyed fonts with no Metrics2 now use default
metrics computed from FontBBox rather than the horizontal metrics.
(PDF interpreter)
	- The interpreter now skips to the next EOL after reading the data
following the ID operator.
	- The incorrectly named ViewerOrientation DSC comment is now
corrected to ViewingOrientation.
(Streams)
	- All decoding filters that recognize an EOD in the source data
must now have an init procedure that sets state->min_left = 1.
(Library)
	- The glyph_data, subr_data, and seac_data procedures in a Type 1
font (gs_type1_data_procs), and the glyph_data procedure passed to
psf_{check,get}_outline_glyphs, must now return 1 iff the outline string was
newly allocated and should be freed by the caller, like the get_outline
procedure of Type 42 fonts (gs_type42_data).
	- The ip_state structure is renamed ip_state_t, and has a new
member, free_char_string.
	- The incorrectly named ViewerOrientation DSC comment is now
corrected to ViewingOrientation, and the viewer_orientation members of
the DSC parsing structure are corrected to viewing_orientation.


<h2><a name="6.60-Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- An isolated ampersand needed to be converted to the HTML form.
(doc/Bug-form.htm [1.12]: 2000/11/04 17:53:57 lpd)
	- cvs2hist was generating invalid anchor names and not escaping
special charaters. also enable '-r' commandline option, and pass '-b' if
it's not specified for default branch logs only. Changes.htm now passes the
validator. Minor url cleanup in Release.htm (doc/Changes.htm [1.19],
doc/Release.htm [1.23]: 2000/11/10 01:52:35 giles)
	- Removes obsolete documentation reference to -DUsePrinterImages and
clarifies the entry for the replacing -DPrinted. Fixes sourceforge bug #
121907. (doc/Use.htm [1.16]: 2000/11/20 20:34:23 giles)
	- Type 1 CharStrings loaded from disk for type 0 CIDFonts were never
freed, except by garbage collection (which doesn't reclaim chunks with only
a small amount of surviving data). In practice, this probably only affects
the PDF writer. (doc/News.htm [1.71]: 2000/11/23 23:34:23 lpd)
	- The pswrite device couldn't write to pipes. The fix involved
expanding the API for opening device OutputFiles so that the individual
driver could specify whether it required, requested, or did not want a
positionable file. Fixes SourceForge bug # 122223. (doc/Use.htm [1.17]:
2000/11/29 02:25:13 lpd)
	- The default ps2pdf "distiller parameters" weren't documented
correctly; the parameter values for the other PDFSETTINGS (screen, printer,
prepress) weren't documented at all; the xxxImageDownsampleThreshold
parameters were incorrectly documented as xxxDownsampleThreshold.
(doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.22]: 2000/12/19 17:55:55 lpd)
	- The documentation of the -dSAFER command line switch was

Fixes problems:
	- cvs2hist was generating invalid anchor names and not escaping
special charaters. also enable '-r' commandline option, and pass '-b' if
it's not specified for default branch logs only. Changes.htm now passes the
validator. Minor url cleanup in Release.htm (toolbin/cvs2hist.py [1.4]:
2000/11/10 01:52:35 giles)
	- The OS/2 platform code would no longer compile, because the stdio
files are no longer available. (fix from rjl) (os2.mak [1.9]: 2000/12/05
01:16:26 lpd)
	- Embedded font subsets always used similar sequences of prefixes,
making it likely that combining multiple PDF files would lead to clashes;
the code now generates truly random prefixes, using an external source of
random data. (devs.mak [1.39]: 2000/12/10 00:12:23 lpd)
	- Fixes a couple of dependency lists that had gotten out of sync.
(devs.mak [1.40]: 2000/12/10 00:17:51 lpd)
	- Seek was broken and PDF interpreter failed when
FILE_IMPLEMENTATION=fd The implementation of streams using direct OS calls
is extended to support MSVC &amp;&amp; Win32. close_.h is replaced by more
general unistd_.h (lib.mak [1.40]: 2000/12/19 03:35:40 alexcher)
	- In the previous fix unistd__h was misspelt as unistd_h .
(lib.mak [1.41]: 2000/12/19 05:35:53 alexcher)
	- The recent change for localized man pages didn't update 2 of the 3
top-level Unix makefiles. (unixansi.mak [1.7], unixtrad.mak [1.7]:
2000/12/23 16:29:53 lpd)
	- The list of doc files to be installed had gotten out of date
(Develop.htm, Maintain.htm, and Ps-style.htm were missing).
(unixinst.mak [1.16]: 2000/12/23 16:30:36 lpd)
	- unixinst.mak was checked in with the previous fix only partly
done. (unixinst.mak [1.17]: 2000/12/23 16:34:12 lpd)

Collect some stray configuration related externs into iconf.h
(int.mak [1.40]: 2000/11/04 06:12:02 rayjj)

Adds DSC parsing capability to the PostScript interpreter, with an optional
'feature' to use the DSC Orientation comments to compensate for sloppy
PostScript producers that don't emit an appropriate setpagedevice command.
(int.mak [1.41]: 2000/11/05 18:33:53 lpd)

Adds the 'hook' for passing DSC comments to the PDF writer, but doesn't
actually process any of the comments. NOTE: Part of this code was
accidentally included in the recent fix for local/global VM problems in the
PostScript code for using the DSC parser. (devs.mak [1.36]: 2000/11/07
18:54:26 lpd)

Reorganizes some text-writing code in anticipation of adding CIDFont and
CMap support. (devs.mak [1.37]: 2000/11/17 22:11:44 lpd)

Avoids exporting empty LD_RUN_PATH environment variable to the link process.
This was causing binaries to search the current directory for libraries,
which was a security hole. Fixes SourceForge bug 122532. (ugcclib.mak [1.6],
unixlink.mak [1.3]: 2000/11/28 00:14:48 raph)

Updates the date and version checker for compatibility with the newest
documentation standards; also makes it check the makefile values of JVERSION
and PVERSION against the currently installed third-party source code.
(toolbin/pre [1.9]: 2000/12/05 21:14:14 lpd)

Extensively revises and updates the pdfwrite text handling code to support
processing and embedding of all types of fonts (except for Type 3 and
CIDFontType 1, which are defined by PostScript procedures), and all variants
of 'show' (including kshow and glyphshow). In particular, Type 0 fonts with
all FMapTypes (including CMap-based), CIDFontType 0 and 2 fonts, and both
standard and non-standard CMaps are supported. (devs.mak [1.38],
int.mak [1.42], lib.mak [1.38]: 2000/12/08 23:35:37 lpd)

removes a spurious import of the cgi module (toolbin/cvs2hist.py [1.5]:
2000/12/11 19:40:23 giles)

Splits off the code for downsampling an oversampled character bitmap into a
separate file. (lib.mak [1.39]: 2000/12/14 00:14:52 lpd)

Adds a '-t' option to enable text output rather than html, replacing the old
behavior, which was to return text unless a version string was passed with
'-v'. The version string is now set to 'CVS' if no explicit version is
passed, and this is used in the named anchors within the html output.
(toolbin/cvs2hist.py [1.6]: 2000/12/23 09:38:10 giles)

Adds support for localized manpages to the make 'install' target. On unix
the makefile will now intall any files with the $MAN1EXT extension it finds
under locale subdirs of the man directory that are listed in the MAN_LCDIRS
variable. The $man1dir is correspondingly removed from unix-gcc.mak. Also
adds separate targets: install-doc install-man install-examples
install-libdata (unix-gcc.mak [1.9], unixinst.mak [1.15]: 2000/12/23
10:10:37 giles)

Improves the set of files checked by hrefcov +lib.
(toolbin/hrefcov.tcl [1.5]: 2000/12/29 02:16:13 lpd)

Adds a script for batch-converting PostScript files to PDF, intended to be
useful for testing. (toolbin/many2pdf.tcl [1.1]: 2000/12/31 22:28:09 lpd)

Updates repository for 6.60 release. (toolbin/pre [1.10],
version.mak [1.24]: 2001/01/01 00:24:06 lpd)

Fixes problems:
	- pdfopt.ps used the "unresolved?" procedure from pdf_base.ps, which
has been replaced by the slightly different "resolved?" procedure.
(lib/pdfopt.ps [1.4]: 2000/12/01 04:15:52 lpd)
	- The OS/2 platform code would no longer compile, because the stdio
files are no longer available. (fix from rjl) (gp_os2.c [1.5]: 2000/12/05
01:16:26 lpd)
	- File flush method uses file member in stream. On Windows and OS/2
it is NULL for %stdout or %stderr. So the standard flush method is
installed. (gp_msio.c [1.3], gp_os2.c [1.6]: 2000/12/19 03:44:24 alexcher)
	- /NullEncode filter no longer supports fileposition. Replacing
fileposition with .fileposition (lib/impath.ps [1.3]: 2000/12/28 17:06:07
alexcher)
	- _.at file was not deleted in BAT file; SAFER option added to CMD
file. (lib/eps2eps.bat [1.4], lib/eps2eps.cmd [1.2]: 2000/12/30 18:45:37
alexcher)

Improves documentation of cid2code.ps by adding a complete usage example.
(lib/cid2code.ps [1.3]: 2000/11/30 18:22:11 lpd)

Adds extensive documentation to genconf.c; also brings it into line with
current Ghostscript coding standards. (genconf.c [1.4]: 2000/12/20 04:20:34
lpd)

Safe mode implemented using DELAYSAFER flag. (lib/pdf2dsc [1.3],

</pre><h2><a name="6.60-Drivers"></a>Drivers</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- In PDF output, color values of 1.0 were usually written as 0.999.
(bug introduced in version 6.22) (gdevpsdu.c [1.8]: 2000/11/12 07:13:26 lpd)
	- The pswrite device couldn't write to pipes. The fix involved
expanding the API for opening device OutputFiles so that the individual
driver could specify whether it required, requested, or did not want a
positionable file. Fixes SourceForge bug # 122223. (gdevps.c [1.13],
gdevpx.c [1.5]: 2000/11/29 02:25:13 lpd)
	- Invalid (uninitialized) StripByteCount was being left in file for
the tiff12nc and tiff24nc devices. Needed to call gdev_tiff_end_strip().
(gdevtfnx.c [1.4]: 2000/12/15 06:09:27 rayjj)
	- Fixes bug introduced in gdevxini.c revision 1.5. Don't overwrite
the pixmap handle provided in the GHOSTVIEW environment variable.
(gdevxini.c [1.10]: 2000/12/15 10:18:47 ghostgum)
	- The pswrite device produced an extra page if the transfer function
didn't map "1 setgray" to device white. (gdevps.c [1.14]: 2000/12/21
03:58:54 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.60-PDF_writer"></a>PDF writer</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- kshow caused the PDF writer to revert to bitmapped fonts. Fixes
SourceForge bug # 104118. (gdevpdft.c [1.21]: 2000/11/06 04:17:14 lpd)
	- The PDF writer didn't handle stroked fonts correctly (they were
filled instead of stroked). (gdevpdf.c [1.23], gdevpdfd.c [1.11],
gdevpdft.c [1.22], gdevpdfx.h [1.23]: 2000/11/12 06:52:08 lpd)
	- When mixing filled and stroked fonts, the color wasn't set
correctly. (gdevpdft.c [1.23]: 2000/11/12 07:14:30 lpd)
	- The PDF writer incorrectly assumed that in PDF 1.3, the standard
Latin character set was the PostScript 3 extended set (it's actually the old
PostScript Level 2 set). (gdevpdft.c [1.28]: 2000/11/20 18:13:55 lpd)
	- Embedded CIDFontType 2 fonts had an incorrect BoundingBox.
(gdevpdff.c [1.14]: 2000/12/09 06:53:25 lpd)
	- Embedded font subsets always used similar sequences of prefixes,
making it likely that combining multiple PDF files would lead to clashes;
the code now generates truly random prefixes, using an external source of
random data. (gdevpdf.c [1.26], gdevpdfe.c [1.8], gdevpdff.c [1.15],
gdevpdff.h [1.9], gdevpdfx.h [1.27]: 2000/12/10 00:12:23 lpd)
	- Non-embedded Multiple Master instances weren't identified as such
(font Subtype = /MMType1). (gdevpdfw.c [1.7]: 2000/12/11 08:52:01 lpd)
	- pdfwrite would crash if a bitmap character was larger than 10Kb
(compressed). The fix simply raises the limit to 1 Mb. (gdevpdft.c [1.30]:
2000/12/13 01:33:37 lpd)
	- When processing DSC comments, some constant strings weren't copied
to the heap, possibly causing memory access errors. (gdevpdfp.c [1.16]:
2000/12/16 07:02:35 lpd)
	- If the same standard (base 14) font was loaded more than once
(because of save/restore), the PDF file could contain fonts that had
suffixed names (e.g., Helvetica~2) but with data missing as though they were
standard fonts, upsetting Acrobat Reader. Fixes SourceForge bug # 101905.
THIS FIX IS IN A VERY FRAGILE AREA AND MAY INTRODUCE NEW PROBLEMS.
(gdevpdff.c [1.16]: 2000/12/16 08:00:53 lpd)
	- The previous fix for copying DSC comment keys to the heap was
unnecessarily complex. (gdevpdfp.c [1.17]: 2000/12/16 19:28:51 lpd)
	- Resource usage wasn't tracked separately for Form XObjects (BP/EP
pdfmarks), producing non-compliant files that caused errors from Acrobat.

Adds the 'hook' for passing DSC comments to the PDF writer, but doesn't
actually process any of the comments. NOTE: Part of this code was
accidentally included in the recent fix for local/global VM problems in the
PostScript code for using the DSC parser. (gdevpdfp.c [1.13]: 2000/11/07

Changes the internal indication of whether to allow font subsetting from a
Boolean to OK, YES, NO. (Unfortunately, I no longer remember why this change
is needed.) (gdevpdfe.c [1.6], gdevpdff.c [1.10], gdevpdff.h [1.5],
gdevpdft.c [1.24]: 2000/11/14 06:57:21 lpd)

When writing PDF output, adds the ability to convert text in Type 0 fonts to
text in the descendant leaf fonts. This completes the handling of text
output except for CID-keyed fonts. (gdevpdft.c [1.25]: 2000/11/14 16:47:09
lpd)

Reorganizes some text-writing code in anticipation of adding CIDFont and
CMap support. (gdevpdff.c [1.11], gdevpdff.h [1.6], gdevpdft.c [1.26]:
2000/11/17 22:11:44 lpd)

Makes glyphshow no longer revert to bitmapped fonts. Also adds a CIDFont
pseudo-resource, in anticipation of adding CID-keyed font support.
(gdevpdff.c [1.12], gdevpdff.h [1.7], gdevpdft.c [1.27], gdevpdfx.h [1.24]:

Extensively revises and updates the pdfwrite text handling code to support
processing and embedding of all types of fonts (except for Type 3 and
CIDFontType 1, which are defined by PostScript procedures), and all variants

If ParseDSCCommentsForDocInfo is set to true, copies information from DSC
comments Creator, CreationDate, For, and Title into the output's Info
dictionary. (gdevpdfp.c [1.14]: 2000/12/09 07:49:22 lpd)

Makes the PDF writer extract orientation and bounding box information from
DSC comments, if present. The orientation is used to set Rotate if
AutoRotatePages is not selected; the bounding box is not yet used for
anything. (gdevpdf.c [1.25], gdevpdfp.c [1.15], gdevpdfx.h [1.26]:

Slightly changes the initialization of the random offset for font subset

Fixes problems:
	- Type 0 fonts with a non-standard (embedded) CMap didn't work at
all. (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.15]: 2000/12/02 20:41:52 lpd)
	- The PDF interpreter ignored the CIDToGIDMap entry in (embedded)
CIDFontType 2 fonts, producing incorrect output if the map wasn't /Identity.
(lib/pdf_font.ps [1.16]: 2000/12/07 23:41:10 lpd)
	- GS didn't dereference indirect objects in Widths array.
(lib/pdf_font.ps [1.17]: 2000/12/17 19:06:19 alexcher)
	- Fixes a slight oversight in the true/false/null improvement for
the PDF interpreter. (lib/pdf_base.ps [1.12]: 2000/12/26 04:10:12 lpd)
	- When a non-TrueType font was substituted for a TrueType font, the
Encoding in the font descriptor was ignored. This hack was intended to fix
SF bug # 104702, an invalid PDF file, but it broke another case. Removal of
the hack makes GS render both cases similar to AR 4.
(lib/pdf_font.ps [1.18]: 2000/12/26 04:29:30 alexcher)
	- The PDF interpreter didn't rotate the CropBox for landscape pages,
producing incorrect output if the input of ps2pdf was a landscape PDF file.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.26]: 2000/12/31 01:07:18 lpd)

Improves font substitution by taking the "Narrow" property into account.

Wraps the showpagecontents call in gsave/grestore, so that the graphics
state for drawing annotations is pristine. Fixes Sourceforge bug 123310.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.23]: 2000/11/25 22:00:21 raph)

The published PDF specification says the Encoding name "must be" one of the
3 predefined Encodings, implying that an error should occur if it isn't.
However, Acrobat Reader simply ignores unknown names, and since there are
some buggy applications that rely on this, we do the same.
(lib/pdf_font.ps [1.14]: 2000/11/28 18:55:24 alexcher)

The PDF specification says that the 'xref' must be on a line by itself. The
code formerly used readline and linene to check this. However, Acrobat
Reader only requires the line to begin with 'xref', and there are enough
applications producing non-compliant PDF files that we have to do this too.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.24]: 2000/12/18 03:41:35 alexcher)

AI8 writes bogus encoding array [0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0] AR doesn't care. So we

Fixes problems:
	- The recently updated code for activating the DSC comment parser
had several local/global VM problems, causing invalidaccess errors.

2000/11/07 18:51:24 lpd)
	- There was still a bug in the code for passing DSC comments to the
PDF writer, causing typecheck errors. (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.8]: 2000/11/07
19:27:14 lpd)
	- If the procedure of a FunctionType 4 Function was syntactically
valid but exceeded the maximum stack depth, an attempt was made to free a
string as an object, causing memory corruption. (zfunc4.c [1.6]: 2000/11/11
17:34:06 lpd)
	- Disk-based TrueType fonts caused a memory leak. (Currently, there
are no such fonts, but CIDFontType 2 fonts, and directly-accessed TrueType
fonts, should be made disk-based.) (zfcid1.c [1.4]: 2000/11/22 08:32:07 lpd)
	- Type 1 CharStrings loaded from disk for type 0 CIDFonts were never
freed, except by garbage collection (which doesn't reclaim chunks with only
a small amount of surviving data). In practice, this probably only affects
the PDF writer. (zfcid0.c [1.5]: 2000/11/23 23:34:22 lpd)
	- Single-byte notdef ranges in CMaps incorrectly incremented the CID
number, rather than assigning the same CID to all characters in the range.
(lib/gs_cmap.ps [1.9]: 2000/11/29 06:58:36 lpd)
	- In dictionaries, an int lookup key sometimes didn't match a real
stored key, and vice versa. Fixes SourceForge bug # 123678. (idict.c [1.3]:
2000/11/30 07:13:08 lpd)
	- Further tweaking of the logic to clear end_status flags in a

revised fix for Sourceforge bug 119777. (zfproc.c [1.7]: 2000/12/02 19:58:45
raph)
	- 'gstate' was allowed in global VM even if the current graphics
state included references to structures in local VM (which is, in fact,
normally the case) and the save level was non-zero: this could create a
dangling pointer after the 'restore'. This "fix" is a workaround that simply
prohibits doing this, but a correct fix would copy any such structures.
(zdps1.c [1.3]: 2000/12/02 20:39:37 lpd)
	- The first call of check_psc_function in gs_build_function_4 didn't
initialize size to 0, causing the computed value of size to be garbage,
possibly leading to a VMerror or memory corruption. (zfunc4.c [1.7]:
2000/12/03 16:56:31 alexcher)
	- The font_info procedure for PostScript fonts other than Type 1
didn't return information from the FontInfo dictionary (Copyright,
FamilyName, FullName, Notice), causing this information to be omitted when
embedding the font in a PDF file. (ifont.h [1.6], zbfont.c [1.7],
zfont.c [1.3], zfont1.c [1.9]: 2000/12/03 23:35:30 lpd)
	- The %%ViewingOrientation: DSC comment was misspelled
%%ViewerOrientation:. This also corrects the CDSC_VIEWINGORIENTATION enum
value (formerly CDSC_VIEWERORIENTATION, and the viewing_orientation members

	- Expanding a permanent dictionary (systemdict or userdict)
destroyed the single-definition bookkeeping for names defined in that
dictionary, slowing down subsequent interpretation. (idict.c [1.4]:
2000/12/26 06:09:58 lpd)
	- Fix to dscparse.c for parsing DOS EPS files. Code now looks for
%!PS-Adobe- at the start of the PostScript section, not at the start of the
DOS EPS header. (dscparse.c [1.5]: 2000/12/28 01:45:01 ghostgum)

Collect some stray configuration related externs into iconf.h
(imain.c [1.3], imainarg.c [1.5]: 2000/11/04 06:12:02 rayjj)

branches: 1.1.2; Collect some stray configuration related externs into

Add COMPILE_INITS information line to -h help output. (imainarg.c [1.6]:
2000/11/04 06:13:42 rayjj)

Adds DSC parsing capability to the PostScript interpreter, with an optional
'feature' to use the DSC Orientation comments to compensate for sloppy
PostScript producers that don't emit an appropriate setpagedevice command.
(lib/gs_dscp.ps [1.1], zdscpars.c [1.1]: 2000/11/05 18:33:52 lpd)

branches: 1.1.2; Adds DSC parsing capability to the PostScript interpreter,

command. (dscparse.c [1.1], dscparse.h [1.1]: 2000/11/05 18:33:53 lpd)

Polishes the DSC parser interface: improves comments and formatting, and
fixes a couple of very minor glitches. (zdscpars.c [1.2]: 2000/11/06
07:34:21 lpd)

branches: 1.3.2; ... and fixes an overlooked const discrepancy.
(zdscpars.c [1.3]: 2000/11/06 07:35:51 lpd)

branches: 1.2.2; Fix: The recently updated code for activating the DSC
comment parser had several local/global VM problems, causing invalidaccess
errors. (lib/gs_dscp.ps [1.2]: 2000/11/07 18:51:25 lpd)

Return code variables (code and comment_code) in zparse_dsc_comments(). need
to be signed. (zdscpars.c [1.4]: 2000/11/08 00:54:48 dancoby)

Rewrites .parse_dsc_comment to use the parameter list machinery, removing a
little functionally duplicated code; changes two incorrect uints to ints
(fix from dan@artifex.com); adds additional comment types (BoundingBox,
PageBoundingBox, BeginDefaults, EndDefaults) to the interface.
(zdscpars.c [1.5]: 2000/11/08 07:07:32 lpd)

DSC parser changes: adds %%ViewerOrientation to DSC parser; doesn't flag an
error if %%Pages is absent but one %%Page is found; frees memory if
initialization fails; recognizes general whitespace in some places where
only spaces were recognized before. (changes from gsview@ghostgum.com.au)
(dscparse.c [1.2], dscparse.h [1.2]: 2000/11/13 05:44:58 lpd)

Adds DSC comment tracing to ps2pdf, if -dDEBUG is specified on the command
line. (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.9]: 2000/11/13 17:03:51 lpd)

Adds %%EndDefaults, %%For:, and %%ViewerOrientation: to the set of DSC
comments handled by the .parse_dsc_comments operator. (zdscpars.c [1.6]:
2000/11/13 17:06:18 lpd)

Slightly simplifies the code for creating the internal representation of
CMaps. (lib/gs_cmap.ps [1.8]: 2000/11/16 00:32:00 lpd)

Changes .buildshading to always apply a ReusableStreamDecode filter to file
and stream DataSources, so that multiple passes over the stream work. This
patch closes SourceForge bug 121810. (lib/gs_ll3.ps [1.7]: 2000/11/16
00:37:32 raph)

Makes single-byte CMap ranges convert into a single range in the internal
representation, rather than (largest - smallest + 1) separate single-element
ranges. (lib/gs_cmap.ps [1.10]: 2000/11/29 07:10:27 lpd)

Adds documentation for the procedures declared in ifont.h. (ifont.h [1.5]:
2000/12/03 23:14:28 lpd)

Extensively revises and updates the pdfwrite text handling code to support
processing and embedding of all types of fonts (except for Type 3 and
CIDFontType 1, which are defined by PostScript procedures), and all variants
of 'show' (including kshow and glyphshow). In particular, Type 0 fonts with
all FMapTypes (including CMap-based), CIDFontType 0 and 2 fonts, and both
standard and non-standard CMaps are supported. (lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.18]:
2000/12/08 23:35:38 lpd)

Makes the default value of ParseDSCCommentsForDocInfo true rather than
false. (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.10]: 2000/12/09 08:00:52 lpd)

Changes the parsing of the DSC Orientation comments to return -1 .. 3 rather
than 0 or 1. (lib/gs_dscp.ps [1.3], zdscpars.c [1.7]: 2000/12/09 17:52:29
lpd)

Changes .parse_dsc_comments to distinguish (document default)
ViewingOrientation from PageViewingOrientation, as for [Page]Orientation.
(zdscpars.c [1.9]: 2000/12/09 19:52:49 lpd)

Updates the comments with a new proposal for speeding up name lookup in the
interpreter. (dstack.h [1.3]: 2000/12/26 01:20:58 lpd)

The old code caused gswin crash when console window closes.
(dwimg.cpp [1.3]: 2000/12/26 13:41:40 igorm)

New flag DELAYSAFER added to defer activation of safety checks. SAFER=false
=&gt; no safety checks SAFER=true, DELAYSAFER=false =&gt; safety checks
always SAFER=true, DELAYSAFER=true =&gt; safety checks after .setsafe
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.28]: 2000/12/29 04:13:56 alexcher)

Fixes problems:
	- Seek was broken and PDF interpreter failed when
FILE_IMPLEMENTATION=fd The implementation of streams using direct OS calls
is extended to support MSVC &amp;&amp; Win32. close_.h is replaced by more
general unistd_.h (sfxfd.c [1.6]: 2000/12/19 03:35:40 alexcher)

</pre><h2><a name="6.60-Library"></a>Library</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Several places in the band list code didn't call s_init_state to
initialize locally allocated stream states: this is now required (see the
"Incompatible changes" section above). We suspect there are a few more
places that will need this fix. (gxclbits.c [1.3], gxcldev.h [1.4],
gxclread.c [1.3], gxclutil.c [1.3]: 2000/11/05 00:34:24 lpd)
	- Fixes infinite loops when writing large bitmaps into clist. Now,
cmd_put_bits never requests an allocation in the clist buffer larger than
cbuf_size. (gxclbits.c [1.4]: 2000/11/05 18:44:57 raph)
	- Works around an Acrobat Reader 4 bug that causes AR4 to draw a
single pixel, rather than nothing, when filling a subpath consisting only of
a moveto. (gdevvec.c [1.8]: 2000/11/07 16:42:28 lpd)
	- The PDF writer didn't handle stroked fonts correctly (they were
filled instead of stroked). (gdevvec.c [1.9], gdevvec.h [1.5]: 2000/11/12
06:52:08 lpd)
	- The pdfwrite and pswrite drivers could emit a lineto or rlineto
without a moveto at the beginning of the path. (bug introduced very
recently, by a workaround for an Acrobat Reader bug) (gdevvec.c [1.10]:
2000/11/14 07:41:08 lpd)
	- Attempting to write a CFF Type 2 font larger than 32K but smaller
than 64K caused a rangecheck. (gdevpsf2.c [1.8]: 2000/11/19 17:48:08 lpd)
	- Computing the default width or the fixed width for a CIDFont or
TrueType font could do a huge amount of unnecessary work. (Probably only
affects the PDF writer.) (gsfont.c [1.3]: 2000/11/20 21:09:09 lpd)
	- The Type 1 to Type 2 CharString converter (currently used only by
the PDF writer) often didn't detect invalid CharStrings as input.
(gdevpsfx.c [1.6]: 2000/11/21 02:33:55 lpd)
	- The code for writing a CIDFontType0 CFF font mistook Type 2
CharStrings for Type 1, and tried to convert them to Type 2. (This currently
affects only the PDF writer.) (gdevpsf2.c [1.9]: 2000/11/21 02:35:59 lpd)
	- Disk-based TrueType fonts caused a memory leak. (Currently, there
are no such fonts, but CIDFontType 2 fonts, and directly-accessed TrueType
fonts, should be made disk-based.) (gdevpsft.c [1.5], gstype42.c [1.10]:
2000/11/22 08:32:07 lpd)
	- Type 1 CharStrings loaded from disk for type 0 CIDFonts were never
freed, except by garbage collection (which doesn't reclaim chunks with only
a small amount of surviving data). In practice, this probably only affects
the PDF writer. (gsfcid.c [1.5], gstype1.c [1.6], gstype2.c [1.9],
gxfont1.h [1.5], gxtype1.c [1.8], gxtype1.h [1.5]: 2000/11/23 23:34:22 lpd)
	- The pswrite device couldn't write to pipes. The fix involved
expanding the API for opening device OutputFiles so that the individual
driver could specify whether it required, requested, or did not want a
positionable file. Fixes SourceForge bug # 122223. (gdevpipe.c [1.4],
gdevvec.c [1.11], gdevvec.h [1.6], gsdevice.c [1.8]: 2000/11/29 02:25:13
lpd)
	- The change for freeing transient CharStrings introduced two bugs,
possibly causing the code to free data twice, or to free data that should be
retained. (gdevpsfx.c [1.8]: 2000/11/30 05:58:19 lpd)
	- Allocates graphics state path in stable memory. This prevents
paths in Type 3 fonts allocated inside a save ... setcachedevice ... restore
sequence from being prematurely freed. Fixes SourceForge bug 101549.
(gspath1.c [1.3], gsstate.c [1.6]: 2000/12/04 21:13:55 raph)
	- An inadvertent change caused the graphics state not to be freed on
grestore. This fix, due to lpd, restores the freeing statement.
(gsstate.c [1.7]: 2000/12/05 09:24:57 raph)
	- The pointers to the substituted color spaces in the graphics state
weren't included in the structure descriptor, causing memory access errors
if UseCIEColor was used. (gsstate.c [1.8]: 2000/12/11 04:06:22 alexcher)
	- In TrueType fonts, glyph outlines starting with an off-curve point
didn't render correctly, replacing the curve with a pair of straight lines.
(gstype42.c [1.11]: 2000/12/12 22:27:56 alexcher)
	- Strict type correctness is required on VMS system. Contributed by
Jouk Jansen joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl (gdevpsf2.c [1.12], gsfcmap.c [1.13]:

FILE_IMPLEMENTATION=fd The implementation of streams using direct OS calls
is extended to support MSVC &amp;&amp; Win32. close_.h is replaced by more
general unistd_.h (gpmisc.c [1.9]: 2000/12/19 03:35:40 alexcher)
	- Fixes a subtle logic bug in the scan line path filling code, which
unfortunately involved rewriting the code from scratch. The new code is also
somewhat subtle, and may contain new bugs: DON'T TRUST IT YET. Fixes
SourceForge bug # 117066. (gxfill.c [1.7]: 2000/12/23 06:02:39 lpd)
	- Embedded Type 1 fonts omitted StdVW. (Acrobat Reader requires
this, even though the Type 1 specification says it is optional.)
(gdevpsf1.c [1.8]: 2000/12/29 01:18:55 lpd)

Adds developer documentation on the color mapping pipeline. (gxfrac.h [1.3]:

Adds a param_string_from_transient_string macro, to parallel
param_string_from_string for non-permanent C strings. (gsparam.h [1.8]:
2000/11/08 06:56:50 lpd)

Adds a macro for declaring suffix subclasses with 5 added pointers (in
addition to the existing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6). (gsstruct.h [1.6]: 2000/11/21
16:46:55 lpd)

Adds a procedure for testing whether a glyph is a "notdef" in a font,
necessary for fixing a memory consumption problem when accessing type 0
CIDFonts. (gsfont.c [1.4], gxfont.h [1.3]: 2000/11/23 23:23:40 lpd)

Speeds up the slow case of fixed_mult_quo by nearly a factor of 2, by using
a tiny bit of numerical analysis. (gsmisc.c [1.9], gxfixed.h [1.3]:

Improves the performance of embedded font writing by freeing strings when no
longer needed, and by removing redundant computation. (Currently relevant
only to the PDF writer.) (gdevpsf1.c [1.7], gdevpsf2.c [1.10],
gdevpsfu.c [1.5], gdevpsfx.c [1.7]: 2000/11/24 07:10:41 lpd)

cache or comparison key. (gsfcmap.c [1.12], gxfcmap.h [1.7]: 2000/11/29
05:50:03 lpd)

The old code did not comply ISO/IEC C language standard and compiled wrongly
to Mac, causing halftone problem on Mac. (gshtscr.c [1.5]: 2000/11/29
14:41:34 igorm)

Adds macros for suffix subclass structures with 7 or 8 additional pointers
(1-6 and 9 existed already). (gsstruct.h [1.7]: 2000/12/04 01:11:53 lpd)

Extensively revises and updates the pdfwrite text handling code to support
processing and embedding of all types of fonts (except for Type 3 and

of 'show' (including kshow and glyphshow). In particular, Type 0 fonts with
all FMapTypes (including CMap-based), CIDFontType 0 and 2 fonts, and both
standard and non-standard CMaps are supported. (gdevpsf.h [1.9],

2000/12/08 23:35:38 lpd)

Moves definitions of gs_state_do_ptrs and gs_state_num_ptrs from gsstate.c
to gzstate.h since they depend on the contents of struct gs_state_s defined
there. (gsstate.c [1.9], gzstate.h [1.4]: 2000/12/11 12:52:16 alexcher)

Splits off the code for downsampling an oversampled character bitmap into a
separate file. (gsbitcom.c [1.1], gsbitops.c [1.3]: 2000/12/14 00:14:52 lpd)

_t to the names of locally defined structure types); also puts #ifdef
FILL_TRAPEZOIDS around a little more code that tests 'if (fill_trapezoids)'.

conversion. (doc/Projects.htm [1.18]: 2000/09/25 14:40:37 lpd)

Adds a reference to PreScript, another free text extraction program based on

</pre><h2><a name="6.30 Procedures"></a>Procedures</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- The PostScript image writing drivers (psmono/gray/rgb) didn't set
the page size in the output, and didn't produce DSC-compliant output.
(devs.mak [1.31]: 2000/08/09 06:55:45 lpd)
	- The FlateEncode and zlibEncode filters didn't implement the
"Effort" parameter. (fix from Alex Cherepanov) (int.mak [1.28]: 2000/08/09
16:55:24 lpd)
	- Because "-" as an OutputFile now references the %stdout IODevice,
it no longer worked in configurations without a PostScript interpreter.
Fixing this required factoring out the stdin/out/err IODevices and providing
an implementation that didn't reference the PostScript interpreter.
(int.mak [1.32], lib.mak [1.34], ugcclib.mak [1.3]: 2000/09/07 06:14:45 lpd)
	- Configurations including PDF but not PostScript didn't include all
the PostScript LL3 features needed to interpret PDF 1.3 et seq.
(int.mak [1.33]: 2000/09/07 06:35:06 lpd)
	- Cleans up some missing and incorrect dependencies.
(devs.mak [1.33], int.mak [1.34], lib.mak [1.35]: 2000/09/11 04:43:09 lpd)
	- The definition of PSRCDIR was inconsistent with the definition of
PVERSION. (openvms.mak [1.5]: 2000/09/22 04:05:40 lpd)
	- The pgnm and pnm drivers didn't properly detect the presence of
gray shades or color in images, sometimes causing gray or color information
to be lost in the output. (fix contributed by a user) (devs.mak [1.35]:
2000/09/23 04:52:56 lpd)

Initializes files for the 6.24 fileset. (version.mak [1.19]: 2000/08/09
16:54:02 lpd)

Adds a mention of the Color LaserJet 4500 as a color PCL XL printer.
(devs.mak [1.32]: 2000/08/17 20:43:50 lpd)

Changes text to make it clear that Yves Arrouye no longer maintains the BJC
drivers that he wrote. (contrib.mak [1.19]: 2000/08/21 14:38:28 lpd)

Puts the logic for detecting garbage after %%EOF (and some similar invalid
constructs) back into the main code, making it produce a message on stderr.
(unixinst.mak [1.12]: 2000/08/23 02:22:39 lpd)

Starts to implement the PDF 1.4 transparency features. All API and operator
additions are now implemented (at least as stubs) and documented, as is
bookkeeping for the new scalar graphics state members (but not for the soft
masks or the transparency group stack). (int.mak [1.29], lib.mak [1.30]:
2000/08/23 21:46:31 lpd)

Adds a new equality-testing virtual procedure for color spaces.
(lib.mak [1.31]: 2000/08/24 05:42:30 lpd)

Partly implements opacity and shape mask bookkeeping. gsave/grestore/etc.
and banding don't do the right thing yet. (int.mak [1.30],
version.mak [1.20]: 2000/08/25 01:46:48 lpd)

Brings the (still mostly stubbed) transparency code to a more
self-consistent state. (lib.mak [1.32]: 2000/08/30 01:34:40 lpd)

Finishes the code for parsing ImageType 103 (soft-mask) images.
(int.mak [1.31], lib.mak [1.33]: 2000/08/30 04:30:05 lpd)

*** empty log message *** (int.mak [1.35]: 2000/09/14 19:46:05 alexcher)

Undoes uncommented and in some cases inappropriate changes. (int.mak [1.36]:

introduced between 5.50 and 6.01.) (gdevpdfm.c [1.5]: 2000/08/31 18:49:59

	- When CompatibilityLevel < 1.4, transparency was ignored rather
than being rendered explicitly. (gdevpdfg.c [1.9]: 2000/09/11 21:13:49 lpd)

Works around the bug in Acrobat Reader (all versions) that apparently treats
stroked fonts as filled fonts, ignoring the PaintType. (gdevpdft.c [1.15]:

Adds the ability to write some PDF 1.4 constructs: graphics state parameters
AIS, BM, ca/CA, and TK, and images with soft masks (except for Matte).

Fixes problems:
	- PDF files with embedded CID fonts with FontName != BaseFont
(prohibited by the PDF specification, but produced by some Adobe software)
caused an error. (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.11], lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.8]: 2000/08/08
22:29:12 lpd)
	- Setting the color (fill or stroke) sometimes overwrote the color
associated with an outer gsave level. (lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.9]: 2000/08/24
01:55:37 lpd)
	- The PDF text rendering modes that included clipping (modes 4-7)
didn't work. The fix is a bit of a hack, but it's much closer to being
right. (lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.12]: 2000/08/31 02:05:55 lpd)
	- The new code for detecting whether a page used any transparency
features could cause an error. (lib/pdf_main.ps [1.14]: 2000/09/10 18:48:26
lpd)
	- Filters with indirect object parameters caused an error. (Fix from
Artifex.) (lib/pdf_base.ps [1.9]: 2000/09/14 00:38:05 lpd)
	- The page dictionary was left on the operand stack while the page
was being rendered, causing the sc[n]/SC[N] operators to give an error if
the color consisted of only a single value. (bug introduced after 6.23)
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.18]: 2000/09/18 06:38:38 lpd)

Puts the logic for detecting garbage after %%EOF (and some similar invalid
constructs) back into the main code, making it produce a message on stderr.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.11]: 2000/08/23 02:22:39 lpd)

"Effort" parameter. (fix from Alex Cherepanov) (zfzlib.c [1.2]: 2000/08/09
16:55:25 lpd)
	- The *ACSImageDict parameter dictionaries weren't being set for the
/default configuration; the *ACSImageDict parameters were never recognized,
because their names were spelled incorrectly as *ACSDict. (Two separate
bugs.) (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.5]: 2000/08/18 03:20:12 lpd)
	- When given an array of the wrong size, a number of operators
produced a limitcheck error rather than a rangecheck. (idparam.c [1.2],

didn't {pop the argument}{push null}. (ztrans.c [1.2]: 2000/08/24 03:03:18
lpd)
	- The BeOS C compiler objected to some int/bool mismatches.
(icontext.c [1.5]: 2000/08/31 03:51:29 lpd)
	- If changing LanguageLevels caused a dictionary to grow, memory
could be corrupted. (zmisc2.c [1.2]: 2000/08/31 14:43:58 lpd)
	- Because "-" as an OutputFile now references the %stdout IODevice,
it no longer worked in configurations without a PostScript interpreter.
Fixing this required factoring out the stdin/out/err IODevices and providing
an implementation that didn't reference the PostScript interpreter.
(ziodev.c [1.2], ziodevs.c [1.1]: 2000/09/07 06:14:45 lpd)
	- .LocalDefaults was stored in a local array in the (global)

Starts to implement the PDF 1.4 transparency features. All API and operator
additions are now implemented (at least as stubs) and documented, as is
bookkeeping for the new scalar graphics state members (but not for the soft
masks or the transparency group stack). (ztrans.c [1.1]: 2000/08/23 21:46:31
lpd)

Partly implements opacity and shape mask bookkeeping. gsave/grestore/etc.
and banding don't do the right thing yet. (igstate.h [1.2], ztrans.c [1.3]:
2000/08/25 01:46:48 lpd)

"Ghostscript". (dwsetup.cpp [1.5]: 2000/09/22 05:35:02 lpd)

Documentation changes in preparation for 6.30 release. Replaced some contact
information, updated version numbers. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.25]: 2000/10/04
04:33:29 raph)

</pre><h2><a name="6.30 Streams"></a>Streams</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- s_add_filter used min_out_size rather than min_in_size for the
minimum buffer size, which could cause an endless loop when writing to the
filter. (This only affected filters allocated by C code, not by the
PostScript filter operator.) (stream.c [1.7], stream.h [1.6]: 2000/08/16

Fixes problems:
	- Parameter lists didn't have proper GC descriptors; garbage
collection could mangle keys and collection values in non-transient
parameter lists (such as distiller parameters). (gscparam.c [1.5]:
2000/08/19 03:01:30 lpd)
	- gdev_vector_dopath could return 1, which value was then propagated
to callers that interpreted it differently. (gdevvec.c [1.5],
gdevvec.h [1.3]: 2000/08/20 00:21:42 lpd)
	- An AIX compiler could get confused if the last elements of a
structure were individual bytes. (gzpath.h [1.2]: 2000/08/24 19:43:48 lpd)
	- If the OutputFile of a high-level device was ever set, any
subsequent execution of setpagedevice would cause a rangecheck in
.installpagedevice. (gdevvec.c [1.6]: 2000/08/31 02:04:50 lpd)
	- Type 2 CharStrings didn't insert an explicit closepath at the end
of each subpath. (This matters for charpath followed by stroke.)
(gstype2.c [1.5]: 2000/08/31 02:16:45 lpd)
	- Type 2 fonts should insert an explicit closepath only if the
font's PaintType != 1. (gstype2.c [1.6]: 2000/08/31 03:21:45 lpd)
	- The BeOS C compiler objected to some int/bool mismatches.
(gp.h [1.4], gxfill.c [1.4], gxtext.h [1.2]: 2000/08/31 03:51:29 lpd)
	- Because "-" as an OutputFile now references the %stdout IODevice,
it no longer worked in configurations without a PostScript interpreter.
Fixing this required factoring out the stdin/out/err IODevices and providing
an implementation that didn't reference the PostScript interpreter.
(gsiodevs.c [1.1], gslib.c [1.2]: 2000/09/07 06:14:45 lpd)
	- Fixes a type error caused by a change in the TransferFunction
member of gs_transparency_mask_params_t. (gstrans.c [1.7]: 2000/09/10
18:20:09 lpd)
	- Several places in the code for ImageType 3x (soft-masked) images
didn't correctly handle the case where only one of the two masks was
supplied (which is always the case for PDF). (gximag3x.c [1.4]: 2000/09/11
02:12:19 lpd)
	- The -Zv tracing messages for gs_begin_transparency_{group,mask}
were incorrect. (gstrans.c [1.10]: 2000/09/12 20:35:05 lpd)
	- Printing the program name and version didn't use fprintf, so it
didn't work properly with the stdout redirection on Windows. (fix from
Artifex) (gsmisc.c [1.7]: 2000/09/18 06:22:35 lpd)
	- Undefined characters in CID-keyed (FMapType 9) composite fonts
caused an infinite loop, because the parsing index was never advanced past
the character. (gsfcmap.c [1.7]: 2000/09/21 02:44:44 lpd)
	- CID-keyed (FMapType 9) composite fonts didn't return the correct
parsed character code, possibly causing widthshow or cshow to produce
incorrect output. (gsfcmap.c [1.8], gsfcmap.h [1.4]: 2000/09/21 03:02:03
lpd)
	- Works around ANSI C's unreasonable new aliasing restrictions.
(gsnogc.c [1.5]: 2000/09/22 04:17:52 lpd)
	- The 'head' table in embedded TrueType fonts had a length of 56; it
should have a length of 54 and be followed by 2 padding bytes.
(gdevpsft.c [1.4]: 2000/09/26 06:42:05 lpd)

Initializes files for the 6.24 fileset. (gscdef.c [1.7]: 2000/08/09 16:54:02
lpd)

Adds the PDF "overprint mode" to the graphics state. THE ACTUAL
FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET. (gscsepr.c [1.4], gscsepr.h [1.3],
gsstate.c [1.2], gxclpath.c [1.3], gxclpath.h [1.2], gxclrast.c [1.4],

Starts to implement the PDF 1.4 transparency features. All API and operator
additions are now implemented (at least as stubs) and documented, as is
bookkeeping for the new scalar graphics state members (but not for the soft
masks or the transparency group stack). (gsistate.c [1.2], gsstate.c [1.3],

Changes the band list representation of mask images to allow
BitsPerComponent > 1 (for soft masks). (gximage1.c [1.2]: 2000/08/24
17:58:18 lpd)

Adds Matte and has_Matte members to ImageType 1 images. These are only used
with the new transparency features. (gsiparam.h [1.2], gximage1.c [1.3]:
2000/08/24 19:20:12 lpd)

Partly implements opacity and shape mask bookkeeping. gsave/grestore/etc.
and banding don't do the right thing yet. (gstparam.h [1.2],
gstrans.c [1.2], gstrans.h [1.2], gxcldev.h [1.2], gxclpath.c [1.5],
gxclpath.h [1.4]: 2000/08/25 01:46:48 lpd)

Changes remove_range_from_freelist to only scan relevant freelists, rather
than all of them. On some files, the speedup is dramatic. (gsalloc.c [1.6]:
2000/08/26 01:18:33 lpd)

Completes an edit that accidentally left the repository in an inconsistent
state. (gxclpath.c [1.6], gxclrast.c [1.6]: 2000/08/26 03:19:56 lpd)

Implements some minor improvements to the freelist algorithms that can
produce nearly a factor of 2 speedup in some allocation-intensive
situations. (gsalloc.c [1.7], gxalloc.h [1.4]: 2000/08/26 03:21:34 lpd)

Brings the (still mostly stubbed) transparency code to a more
self-consistent state. (gsipar3x.h [1.1], gsiparam.h [1.3],
gsstruct.h [1.4], gstparam.h [1.3], gstrans.c [1.3], gstrans.h [1.3],

lpd)

Finishes the code for parsing ImageType 103 (soft-mask) images.
(gximag3x.c [1.2]: 2000/08/30 04:29:56 lpd)

Completes the parsing of .{begin,end}transparency{group,mask}, except for
the TransferFunction for masks. The specification is still subject to
change. (gstparam.h [1.4], gstrans.c [1.4], gstrans.h [1.4]: 2000/08/30
15:03:36 lpd)

Adds documentation on proposed driver interface additions for managing the
transparency rendering stack. (gstrans.c [1.5]: 2000/08/31 20:22:47 lpd)

Adds color space type names for tracing/debugging. (gscspace.h [1.4]:
2000/09/10 05:21:44 lpd)

Changes the -Zv switch to trace alpha/transparency-related features.
(gdevabuf.c [1.2]: 2000/09/10 05:23:10 lpd)

Implements another chunk of the PDF 1.4 transparency features, fixing some
bugs in the previous code. (gstparam.h [1.5], gstrans.c [1.6],
gximag3x.c [1.3]: 2000/09/10 05:26:27 lpd)

Moves the Matte entry of soft mask images from the main structure to the
mask structures, and changes Matted to has_Matte. (gsipar3x.h [1.2],
gximag3x.c [1.5], gximag3x.h [1.2]: 2000/09/11 04:08:13 lpd)

Adds a default implementation of soft-masked images that simply ignores the
mask. (gximag3x.c [1.6]: 2000/09/11 04:38:01 lpd)

Upgrades the proposed driver interface transparency extension from comments
to macros, changing the name 'discard_transparency_level' to
'discard_transparency_layer'. (gstrans.c [1.8], gstrans.h [1.5]: 2000/09/11
20:13:31 lpd)

Finishes the (dummy) implementation of the transparency layer stack in the
graphics library. (gsistate.c [1.3], gsstate.c [1.4], gstparam.h [1.6],
gstrans.c [1.9], gxistate.h [1.5]: 2000/09/11 22:20:05 lpd)

Makes the default string matching parameters public. (gsutil.c [1.3],
gsutil.h [1.2]: 2000/09/12 02:02:52 lpd)

<h2><a name="6.23_Incompatible_changes"></a>Incompatible changes</h2>

(Drivers)
	- With high-level drivers ([e]pswrite, pdfwrite, pxl*, cgm*),
changing the OutputFile after writing one or more pages now causes an error.
(Interpreter)
	- By default, copydevice will only copy a device prototype.
	- Some internal references to contexts in zcontext.c are changed
from direct pointers to context indices.
	- Renames internal types to add a _t: ctx_list, ctx_status,
gs_context, gs_condition, gs_lock.
(Library)
	- By default, gs_copydevice[2] will only copy a device prototype.


<h2><a name="6.23 Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Local GC in a multi-context system caused a crash. Also updates
all the internal type names in zcontext.c by adding a _t suffix if
necessary. (doc/News.htm [1.54]: 2000/07/10 23:56:55 lpd)
	- With some high-level drivers, changing the OutputFile after
opening the device could cause a crash. After the fix, doing this works
properly if no pages have actually been written out, but causes a rangecheck
error if any pages have been written. (This is required to maintain internal
consistency.) (doc/News.htm [1.55]: 2000/07/12 14:02:03 lpd)
	- The documented limit on the length of a file name was incorrect.
(doc/Language.htm [1.9]: 2000/08/03 06:45:25 lpd)

Increments the version number, in preparation for the next fileset.
(doc/News.htm [1.52]: 2000/07/06 02:45:06 lpd)

Adds a finish_copydevice device procedure, for cleaning up after copying the
bits of a device prototype or instance. For safety, the default
implementation only allows copying the prototype, not instances. This is a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change; however, using copydevice on a device
instance never worked reliably, so it should not have been used this way
before. (doc/Drivers.htm [1.4], doc/News.htm [1.53]: 2000/07/06 04:13:24
lpd)

Updates the references to the Computer Modern Fontmap on CTAN.
(doc/Fonts.htm [1.5], doc/New-user.htm [1.8]: 2000/07/09 23:29:25 lpd)

Updates a couple of release procedures. (doc/Release.htm [1.15]: 2000/07/10
19:32:59 lpd)

Adds documentation and a script for preparing GNU releases from Aladdin
releases. (doc/Release.htm [1.16]: 2000/07/17 17:10:57 lpd)

Clarifies that device parameters set with -d or -s can be changed
subsequently. (doc/Use.htm [1.8]: 2000/07/17 20:13:03 lpd)

Adds a project for making Ghostscript work as a Netscape browser plug-in.
(doc/Projects.htm [1.13]: 2000/07/19 22:50:18 lpd)

Removes the SVG driver from the list of projects, since there is a group
close to completing one (referenced from the Ghostscript home page on the
Web). (doc/Projects.htm [1.14]: 2000/07/20 14:49:52 lpd)

Directs users to the Ghostscript home page on the Web for information about
third-party drivers. (doc/New-user.htm [1.9]: 2000/07/20 14:50:34 lpd)

Adds a partially implemented driver that just produces a trace of its
drawing calls. This driver also serves as a minimal example of how to
implement the high-level driver operations. (doc/Drivers.htm [1.5]:
2000/07/29 04:00:00 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Procedures"></a>Procedures</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- $(GLGEN)/md5.h wasn't deleted after compilation. (lib.mak [1.26]:
2000/07/09 23:19:59 lpd)
	- TrueType font loading now requires the Adobe glyph list, but this
dependency was missing from the makefile. (int.mak [1.26]: 2000/07/19
08:11:15 lpd)
	- During compilation, GLSRCDIR was searched before GLGENDIR. (We're
very surprised that this didn't cause detectable trouble before.)
(lib.mak [1.27]: 2000/07/19 14:32:00 lpd)
	- The dependency on gsparamx.$(OBJ) was incorrectly attached to
pdfwrite.dev rather than psdf.dev. (devs.mak [1.30]: 2000/08/03 17:42:52
lpd)
	- 'pre' didn't work with dates in August or September (Tcl doesn't
accept 08 and 09 as valid numbers). (toolbin/pre [1.5]: 2000/08/07 17:35:27
lpd)

Increments the version number, in preparation for the next fileset.
(version.mak [1.17]: 2000/07/06 02:45:06 lpd)

Adds some user-contributed comments about using the Canon BJ200 driver with
the BJ300. (contrib.mak [1.18]: 2000/07/11 15:33:19 lpd)

Updates the (user-contributed) all-architecture build script to work around
a detail in the SGI IRIX C library header files. (all-arch.mak [1.4]:
2000/07/15 19:23:45 lpd)

Adds documentation and a script for preparing GNU releases from Aladdin
releases. (toolbin/makegnu.tcl [1.1]: 2000/07/17 17:10:57 lpd)

Adds a partially implemented driver that just produces a trace of its
drawing calls. This driver also serves as a minimal example of how to
implement the high-level driver operations. (lib.mak [1.28]: 2000/07/29
04:00:00 lpd)

Changes 'gsmake' to report line number rather than character position for
errors and warnings. (toolbin/gsmake.tcl [1.3]: 2000/08/07 17:22:27 lpd)

Updates dates and version #s for the 6.23 fileset. (version.mak [1.18]:
2000/08/07 17:48:10 lpd)

Adds some missing dependencies. (int.mak [1.27], lib.mak [1.29]: 2000/08/07
17:52:22 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Utilities"></a>Utilities</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- An invalid file name or pattern passed to filenameforall would
(incorrectly) return an empty string rather than not returning any file
names at all. (gp_vms.c [1.3]: 2000/07/09 21:09:51 lpd)
	- Some DOS/Windows script files didn't use 'call', so they would
terminate execution prematurely if called from another script file.
(lib/ps2pdf.bat [1.5], lib/ps2pdf12.bat [1.4], lib/ps2pdf13.bat [1.4],
lib/ps2pdfxx.bat [1.8]: 2000/07/24 15:12:21 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Drivers"></a>Drivers</h2><pre>

Implements finish_copydevice for X windows, to allow copying instances as
well as the prototype. (gdevx.c [1.4], gdevx.h [1.3], gdevxini.c [1.7]:
2000/07/06 05:29:46 lpd)

Adds some user-contributed comments about using the Canon BJ200 driver with

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 PDF writer"></a>PDF writer</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- M_2PI was predefined on some systems. (gdevpdfg.c [1.6]:
2000/07/09 23:11:31 lpd)
	- The word and character spacing values were not tracked correctly
when mixing text and graphics, sometimes producing horizontally misplaced
text. (gdevpdf.c [1.18], gdevpdfg.c [1.7], gdevpdfu.c [1.10],
gdevpdfx.h [1.19]: 2000/07/11 14:33:54 lpd)
	- 'show'ing an empty string could cause the next string to be
positioned incorrectly. (gdevpdft.c [1.14]: 2000/07/27 14:18:11 lpd)

Updates font embedding code to handle CIDFontType 2 fonts. NOT TESTED.
(gdevpdfe.c [1.3]: 2000/07/27 04:18:13 lpd)

Adds glyphs_used to FontDescriptors and pfd to std_fonts in the device
structure. WORK IN PROGRESS. (gdevpdf.c [1.19], gdevpdff.c [1.7],
gdevpdff.h [1.3], gdevpdfx.h [1.20]: 2000/07/27 04:19:24 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Interpreter (PDF)"></a>Interpreter (PDF)</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- If a badly-constructed PDF file referenced one of the 12 base
alphabetic fonts explicitly as a TrueType font (e.g., /BaseFont
/TimesNewRoman /Subtype /TrueType) without embedding it, the substituted
Type 1 font had the wrong Encoding. (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.10]: 2000/07/10
13:18:28 lpd)
	- Piped input beginning with a % caused an ioerror. (bug introduced
in 6.22) (lib/pdf_main.ps [1.10]: 2000/07/14 05:30:19 lpd)
	- As a result of some recent changes to fix other problems, setting
certain text state parameters (Tf, Ts, Tz) outside of text mode (BT/ET)
caused an error. (lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.6]: 2000/07/19 15:57:54 lpd)
	- Setting a singular text matrix (e.g., 0 0 0 0 <x> <y> Tm) caused
an error. (lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.7]: 2000/08/04 16:08:05 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Interpreter"></a>Interpreter</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Removes the '?' procedure, which was defined solely for the
convenience of users who don't read the documentation and which interfered
with the operation of some code produced by the Adobe PS5 Windows driver.
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.18]: 2000/07/09 22:34:30 lpd)
	- A constant 1 should have been 1L, causing a warning on systems
where sizeof(long) > sizeof(int). (zarith.c [1.3]: 2000/07/09 23:10:58 lpd)
	- The workaround for attempting to set a 4-element PageSize value in
a page device sometimes caused an error. (bug introduced in 6.21)
(lib/gs_setpd.ps [1.4]: 2000/07/10 12:48:54 lpd)
	- Redefining setcolorspace could cause an infinite recursion.
(lib/gs_lev2.ps [1.5]: 2000/07/10 13:35:24 lpd)
	- Local GC in a multi-context system caused a crash. Also updates
all the internal type names in zcontext.c by adding a _t suffix if
necessary. (zcontext.c [1.4]: 2000/07/10 23:56:55 lpd)
	- A garbage collection occurring within a save could cause a memory
access error. (bug introduced in 6.22) (zcontext.c [1.5]: 2000/07/14
05:28:56 lpd)
	- Piped input beginning with a % caused an ioerror. (bug introduced
in 6.22) (zfileio.c [1.8]: 2000/07/14 05:30:19 lpd)
	- A garbage collection occurring while scanning a binary token
sequence could cause a syntaxerror or corrupted data. (iscan.c [1.3]:
2000/07/18 15:39:02 lpd)
	- (correction) An interruption (including a callout for a
procedure-based stream), not a garbage collection, while scanning a binary
token sequence could cause a syntaxerror or corrupted data. (iscan.c [1.4]:
2000/07/18 15:41:55 lpd)
	- When loading a TrueType font, invalid glyph numbers in the 'post'
table (which appear in some Adobe-created PDF files) caused an error instead
of being ignored; a test was backwards, causing some embedded TrueType fonts
in PDF files to produce a rangecheck error. (lib/gs_ttf.ps [1.6]: 2000/07/19
08:12:41 lpd)
	- When NOPROMPT was set, no flush or flushpage occurred at the end
of a page. (fix from an anonymous user on SourceForge)
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.19]: 2000/07/20 01:40:50 lpd)
	- Type 1 or Type 2 fonts with invalid LanguageGroup values < 0
caused an error. (Such fonts are invalid, but some real fonts have garbage
LanguageGroup values, and Adobe software doesn't give an error.)
(zfont1.c [1.6]: 2000/07/24 18:08:38 lpd)
	- Errors while executing gs_init.ps and other PostScript
initialization files were sometimes ignored, leading to mysterious error
messages later. (imainarg.c [1.3]: 2000/08/03 06:43:17 lpd)
	- Showing text with a singular matrix (scaling matrix x CTM) could
leave extraneous values on the operand stack. (zchar1.c [1.4]: 2000/08/04
16:09:30 lpd)

Increments the version number, in preparation for the next fileset.
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.15]: 2000/07/06 02:45:06 lpd)

Redefines [gs_]copydevice in terms of a new gs_copydevice2/.copydevice2,
which adds a Boolean keep_open argument that requests (but does not
guarantee) that a copy of an open device remain open.
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.16], zdevice.c [1.2]: 2000/07/06 03:26:13 lpd)

Adds a finish_copydevice device procedure, for cleaning up after copying the
bits of a device prototype or instance. For safety, the default
implementation only allows copying the prototype, not instances. This is a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change; however, using copydevice on a device
instance never worked reliably, so it should not have been used this way
before. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.17]: 2000/07/06 04:13:24 lpd)

Adds the ability to load CIDFont resources from CFF OpenType font files.
(lib/gs_cff.ps [1.6], lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.16]: 2000/07/29 05:58:28 lpd)

Ensures that errordict has at least one empty entry, for the sake of some
astonishingly bad PostScript code that tests for this and has a bug in the
case where it isn't true. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.20]: 2000/08/04 04:29:45 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.23 Library"></a>Library</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Some coordinate computations for Type 1 fonts could lose far too
much precision if _fixed_shift was reduced. (gscoord.c [1.2],
gxmatrix.h [1.2]: 2000/07/11 09:25:46 lpd)
	- If the current color space was DeviceRGB, gs_currentgray returned
the wrong value. (bug introduced in 6.22) (gscolor.c [1.3]: 2000/07/11
14:00:09 lpd)
	- With some high-level drivers, changing the OutputFile after
opening the device could cause a crash. After the fix, doing this works
properly if no pages have actually been written out, but causes a rangecheck
error if any pages have been written. (This is required to maintain internal

	- A file had accidentally acquired an incorrect license notice.
(gscoord.c [1.4]: 2000/07/13 02:02:09 lpd)
	- Type 2 fonts that used the 'hflex' operator could produce
distorted characters (e.g., slanted bottoms). (gstype2.c [1.4]: 2000/07/13
02:09:21 lpd)
	- The use of macros within procedure argument lists confused
ansi2knr. (gximage3.c [1.5], gximage3.h [1.3]: 2000/07/19 14:30:45 lpd)
	- Freeing a locking allocator could cause infinite recursion.
(gsmemlok.c [1.2]: 2000/07/19 21:32:12 lpd)
	- "Accurate curves" was a no-op for certain cases of horizontal or

<h1><a name="Version6.22"></a>Version 6.22 (2000-07-05)</h1>

<p>
This fileset consists mostly of bug fixes.  It also further improves the PDF
writer, which now handles ImageType 3 images and PatternType 2 (shading)
patterns.

<p>

<h2><a name="6.22_Incompatible_changes"></a>Incompatible changes</h2>

(Procedures)
	- Versions now have odd numbers during development, even numbers
when released.
	- The TMPDIR environment variable, if set, now takes precedence
over TEMP.
	- On MS-DOS, MS Windows, and OS/2 platforms, the batch files that
invoke Ghostscript now use a default name of gswin32 or gswin32c rather than
simply gs.
(Drivers)
	- The PCL drivers now select a given paper size if the requested
height is at least 0.1" greater than the height of the next smaller paper
size, rather than if the requested height is at least as large as that of
the given paper size.
(Interpreter)
	- user_names_p and system_names_p may now be NULL: clients must
check this.
	- scan_comment_proc and scan_dsc_proc are now deprecated, and will
disappear in the near future.
	- The values in psuserparams are now checking procedures rather
than parameter values.
	- Comments beginning with %! are treated as "DSC comments", like
comments beginning with %%.
(Library)
	- The macro for declaring the fill_rectangle procedure of a shading
is now upper-case.  The fill_rectangle procedure is now a member of a procs
structure; there is a new macro for calling it.
	- The parameter list and return value for gs_currentgray have
changed.  This is very unfortunate, but it was unavoidable.


<h2><a name="6.22 Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- The batch files for MS-DOS, MS Windows, and OS/2 referred to the
executable by the name 'gs'. They now use environment variables GS
(graphical) and GSC (console) for the executable names, defaulting to
gswin32 and gswin32c respectively. (doc/News.htm [1.45], doc/Use.htm [1.6]:
2000/05/20 20:53:04 lpd)
	- The -dCompatibilityLevel= switch was incorrectly identified in one
place as -dCompatibility=. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.11]: 2000/05/22 21:29:45 lpd)
	- [gs_]currentgray didn't return the correct value if the current
color space was a DeviceN space using the alternate space.

non-Standard encodings incorrectly identified the font as a small-caps font.
(gdevpdff.c [1.6]: 2000/05/30 23:04:23 lpd)
	- Works around the fact that Acrobat Reader won't accept /MMType1

rather than /MMType1. (gdevpdft.c [1.12], gdevpdfw.c [1.4]: 2000/06/12
18:13:51 lpd)
	- Embedded Type 1 (but not Type 2 / 1C) fonts were written without
eexec encryption. We can't figure out how this happened, because the PDF
spec requires eexec encryption and the correct code was commented out; we
suppose this was a debugging or testing modification that got left in. (bug
introduced since 6.01) (gdevpdfe.c [1.2]: 2000/06/12 18:15:20 lpd)

(Drivers)
	- The downsampling filters now require WidthIn and HeightIn,
replacing Columns.
	- The gp_ procedures for managing screen swapping between console
and graphics are removed.
	- Any driver that processes the pdfmark pseudo-parameter must now
also return null for the "value" of the pdfmark parameter when (and only
when) specifically requested.
(PDF writer)
	- The last argument of pdf_alloc_font has changed.
	- pdf_set_color is renamed pdf_set_pure_color.
	- When producing PDF 1.3 output, the base 14 fonts are now
candidates for embedding just like any other fonts.
(Interpreter)
	- The .fontproperties procedure in gs_fonts.ps now takes an
additional argument.
	- The interpreter must no longer reference stdin/out/err directly.
(Library)
	- The internal representation of CMaps is changed completely, and
has several new required members.
	- gs_cmap is renamed gs_cmap_t; gx_code_map is renamed
gx_code_map_t.
	- Clients creating CMaps must call gs_cmap_init to initialize them.
	- The library must no longer reference stdin/out/err directly.


<h2><a name="6.21 Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- The PDF writer could get an ioerror when downsampling images whose
size wasn't an exact multiple of the downsampling factor.
(doc/News.htm [1.31]: 2000/04/13 16:44:59 lpd)
	- When processing a PDF file, the font substitution heuristic based
on the FontName sometimes overrode the Flags information in the
FontDescriptor. (doc/News.htm [1.34]: 2000/04/20 06:36:02 lpd)
	- When pdfwrite was producing PDF 1.3 output, the base 14 fonts were
never embedded, rather than being handled like all other fonts.
(doc/News.htm [1.37]: 2000/04/20 23:49:40 lpd)
	- The URL for the Arphic free Chinese fonts had become incorrect.
(doc/Fonts.htm [1.3]: 2000/04/27 13:44:52 lpd)

Fixes problems:
	- Some makefile macros were used before being defined.
(devs.mak [1.9], lib.mak [1.9]: 2000/04/07 16:02:03 lpd)
	- `make install-data' didn't install lib/gs_frsd.ps or
lib/pdfopt.ps. (unixinst.mak [1.7]: 2000/04/07 19:17:48 lpd)
	- gsmake would get into a loop if the makefile was not a symbolic
link; `gsmake check' didn't accept a makefile name on the command line.
(toolbin/gsmake.tcl [1.2]: 2000/04/07 19:37:21 lpd)
	- `makemaster' referred to an undefined variable. (How could it ever
have worked?) (toolbin/makeset.tcl [1.3]: 2000/04/07 19:39:27 lpd)
	- A dependency wasn't updated when moving the gdevpsf* rules from
devs.mak to lib.mak. (lib.mak [1.10]: 2000/04/07 19:40:25 lpd)
	- The dependencies in the makefile weren't updated for the pdfwrite
font embedding overhaul. (devs.mak [1.11]: 2000/04/10 18:57:33 lpd)
	- Once again, the dependencies hadn't been updated. (int.mak [1.17]:
2000/04/11 15:59:42 lpd)
	- Setting pdfwrite parameters for a DCTEncode filter could cause a
crash (memory fault). (devs.mak [1.16]: 2000/04/13 01:53:07 lpd)
	- `make install' didn't install all the documentation files.
(unixinst.mak [1.9]: 2000/04/14 04:06:13 lpd)
	- The Color LaserJet 5 drivers were incorrectly identified as
"supported" rather than "contributed". (contrib.mak [1.7], devs.mak [1.17]:
2000/04/20 17:12:54 lpd)
	- PDF images with a bitmap Mask caused errors or produced incorrect
output. (int.mak [1.20]: 2000/04/24 00:59:04 lpd)

Completely redesigns the representation of CMaps, to reduce space
requirements and make comparing them more reasonable, changing gs_cmap to
gs_cmap_t and gx_code_map to gx_code_map_t. (****** NOTE ****** The

Splits off creation and writing of color spaces, and writing color values,
into a separate file. Adds support for (Function-based) Separation and
DeviceN color spaces, general Pattern color spaces, and procedure-based
Indexed color spaces. Adds some code to support Pattern colors, but stubs it
out because it depends on changes in the image writing code that haven't
been integrated yet. In fact, most of the new code isn't called yet, either.

Fixes problems:
	- The Cos objects of resources not shared between pages weren't
freed at the end of each page. (gdevpdf.c [1.9]: 2000/04/10 04:17:56 lpd)
	- gdevpdfe.c was omitted from the check-in for the overhaul of
pdfwrite font embedding. (gdevpdfe.c [1.1]: 2000/04/10 16:01:29 lpd)
	- pdfwrite output could contain commands to set the line width to a
negative value, which PostScript allows but PDF doesn't. (gdevpdfd.c [1.6]:
2000/04/12 19:51:14 lpd)
	- The changes for the new color handling code caused stroked
graphics not to output the line width. (new bug since 6.20)
(gdevpdfd.c [1.7]: 2000/04/13 03:47:21 lpd)
	- Pattern resources were written with incorrectly scaled XStep and
YStep, and without a Type entry. (gdevpdfc.c [1.3], gdevpdfi.c [1.10]:
2000/04/13 04:12:33 lpd)
	- The PDF writer could get an ioerror when downsampling images whose
size wasn't an exact multiple of the downsampling factor.
(gdevpdfi.c [1.11]: 2000/04/13 16:44:59 lpd)
	- Bitmapped characters weren't written properly on the output file
(new bug since 6.20). (gdevpdfg.h [1.4], gdevpdfi.c [1.12],
gdevpdfj.c [1.2]: 2000/04/13 17:24:54 lpd)
	- gxdcolor.h was required for gxpcolor.h, but wasn't included.
(gdevpdfc.c [1.4]: 2000/04/18 17:42:55 lpd)
	- A table of constant strings wasn't declared as const.
(gdevpdfp.c [1.7]: 2000/04/20 17:37:31 lpd)
	- When pdfwrite was producing PDF 1.3 output, the base 14 fonts were
never embedded, rather than being handled like all other fonts.
(gdevpdff.c [1.4]: 2000/04/20 23:49:40 lpd)
	- Indexed color spaces used in in-line images were being written
incorrectly. Also optimizes Indexed images by converting RGB palettes to
Gray if all the entries are actually gray. (gdevpdfc.c [1.5]: 2000/04/21
15:29:20 lpd)
	- The recent optimization for using the ' command in PDF output lost
track of the leading value between blocks of text, causing lines in later
blocks to overprint each other. (gdevpdfu.c [1.9]: 2000/04/21 22:29:05 lpd)
	- Backs out the change that allowed embedding of the base 14 fonts,
because it produces invalid output. (gdevpdff.c [1.5]: 2000/04/22 00:13:11

	- Colored Patterns requiring masking weren't written properly.
(gdevpdfc.c [1.6]: 2000/04/24 00:09:37 lpd)
	- Patterns were written upside-down. (gdevpdfc.c [1.7]: 2000/04/24

	- PDF Patterns weren't written correctly if the ProcessColorModel
wasn't Device RGB. (gdevpdf.c [1.15], gdevpdfc.c [1.8], gdevpdfg.h [1.5],
gdevpdfi.c [1.13], gdevpdfx.h [1.15]: 2000/04/24 05:40:30 lpd)
	- The color space for images wasn't always written in the correct
form (an object reference for image XObjects, a resource name for in-line
images). (gdevpdfi.c [1.14]: 2000/04/28 12:07:37 lpd)
	- Patterns were sometimes written with a duplicate Type element.
(gdevpdfc.c [1.10]: 2000/04/28 12:23:54 lpd)
	- Patterns were sometimes written twice, with an empty definition
the second time. (gdevpdfi.c [1.15]: 2000/04/28 12:24:42 lpd)

Overhauls font embedding in the PDF writer: splits off the code into a new

adds a little bit of code for future support of Type 0 and CID-keyed fonts.
(gdevpdff.c [1.3], gdevpdff.h [1.2], gdevpdft.c [1.6], gdevpdfw.c [1.3]:

parameter. (gdevpdf.c [1.10], gdevpdfu.c [1.6], gdevpdfx.h [1.8]: 2000/04/11
16:06:57 lpd)

Adds ExtGState resources. These should be written and freed at the end of
each page, but they aren't yet. (gdevpdfx.h [1.9]: 2000/04/11 16:38:14 lpd)

Implements additional distiller parameters: PreserveHalftoneInfo,
PreserveOverprintSetting, TransferFunctionInfo (except for Apply vs.
Remove), UCRandBGInfo. Splits off graphics state management into separate
files. Implements the remaining graphics state parameters (halftone,
transfer function, black generation, undercolor removal, halftone phase,
smoothness, overprint, stroke adjustment) ****** EXCEPT FOR IMAGES ******.
In anticipation of handling more general colors, renames pdf_set_color as
pdf_set_pure_color, and adds pdf_set_drawing_color. (gdevpdf.c [1.11],

Splits off creation and writing of color spaces, and writing color values,
into a separate file. Adds support for (Function-based) Separation and
DeviceN color spaces, general Pattern color spaces, and procedure-based
Indexed color spaces. Adds some code to support Pattern colors, but stubs it
out because it depends on changes in the image writing code that haven't
been integrated yet. In fact, most of the new code isn't called yet, either.

In pdfwrite, rewrites the image writing code to use Cos objects rather than
direct printing, and splits off the creation of image dictionaries into a
new file; adds support for tiling with uncolored Patterns; implements
converting ImageType 4 images to their PDF 1.3 counterpart; starts to do the
same for ImageType 3. This code is "in progress" and likely to have problems
for a while. (gdevpdf.c [1.14], gdevpdfc.c [1.2], gdevpdfg.c [1.3],

Adds compression for pdfwrite Patterns. (gdevpdfc.c [1.9]: 2000/04/24
06:13:02 lpd)

Makes the [e]pswrite and pdfwrite drivers merge adjacent horizontal or
vertical line segments going in the same direction. This makes a big
difference for PostScript files produced by certain applications.

	- If a font specified Subtype = /TrueType but the actual font used
was not a TrueType font, any Encoding in the Font object should be ignored.
(This is a hack required by the PDF specification.) (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.7]:
2000/04/24 06:37:18 lpd)
	- Colored annotation borders caused an error; 0-width borders were
drawn even though they shouldn't be; Link and Stamp annotations weren't
drawn at all. Also adds a new -dPrinted[=true/false] switch to choose
whether to produce "screen" or "printer" output. (code from Artifex)

	- Attempting to set a PageSize with 4 elements actually set the
PageSize (to the first 2 elements), rather than ignoring the attempt. (This

<h2><a name="6.20_Incompatible_changes"></a>Incompatible changes</h2>

(Procedures)
	- The default value of FPU_TYPE in all Windows and OS/2 makefiles
is now 387 rather than 0.
	- The process for reporting problems has changed significantly.
(PDF writer)
	- The Cos procedures no longer take the device as an argument,
except for object-creating procedures, which now take the device rather
than an allocator.
	- The is_object member of Cos values is replaced by value_type.
Clients must use COS_VALUE_IS_OBJECT() to test whether a value is an object
reference.
	- The Cos procedures that take C strings no longer copy the string.
	- The argument of cos_write_object is no longer const.
(Drivers)
	- The default BufferSpace for printer drivers is now 4 Mb.
	- Device halftone order implementations must now provide a new
bit_index procedure.
	- The image argument for psdf_setup_image_filters is changed from
gs_image_t to gs_pixel_image_t.
	- The font-related psdf_ procedures are renamed psf_.
(Streams)
	- The interface to the [T]BCP filters is now in a separate file,
sbcp.h.
(PDF interpreter)
	- The internal beginpage procedure is renamed dictbeginpage, and
now takes a dictionary argument.
(Interpreter)
	- The argument list for the internal build_gs_TrueType_font
procedure has changed.
	- The zcharstring_glyph_outline procedure is renamed
zchar1_glyph_outline.
	- The Instances dictionary of resources is renamed .Instances.
(Library)
	- ImageType 4 images now give an error if a MaskColor value is out
of the range of possible sample values.
	- The definition of gs_param_key_t, the key type returned by
parameter list enumeration, is changed.
	- Implementors of parameter lists must now call gs_param_list_init
to initialize the common members.
	- st_indexed_map is now private.  Clients allocating instances of
this structure must now call alloc_indexed_map.
	- Setting a transfer map as the identity mapping now requires
calling gx_set_identity_transfer.
	- gs_cid_system_info is renamed gs_cid_system_info_t.
	- The get_outline procedure of a Type 42 or Type 11 (CIDFontType 0)
font now returns 1 if the string was newly allocated and can be freed by the
client.
	- The procs member of gs_type1_data is now an in-line structure
rather than a pointer to a const structure.


<h2><a name="6.20 Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- If log2_transfer_map_size > 8, identity transfer functions
returned garbage. The fix requires that if a client wants to set a transfer
function to the identity mapping, it must call gx_set_identity_transfer
rather than simply setting the procedure to gs_identity_transfer.
(doc/News.htm [1.13]: 2000/03/19 17:14:47 lpd)
	- In PDF files, the page CropBox was not being used to clip the
output. (doc/News.htm [1.18]: 2000/03/21 23:08:32 lpd)
	- Fixes several problems in resourceforall and resource loading: the
operands of resourceforall were restored even in the case of an error in the
client's procedure; the name Instances had special meaning for some Adobe
code; resourceforall caused an invalidaccess error if an operand was in
local VM but the current VM was global; loading a resource from a file could
cause a typecheck error if the file left values on the operand stack.
(doc/News.htm [1.25]: 2000/04/04 22:26:02 lpd)
	- The location of the lists of supported and unsupported drivers was
incorrect. (doc/Bug-info.htm [1.2]: 2000/04/07 03:01:52 lpd)

Undoes an accidental RCS ID substitution in what was supposed to be literal
text. (doc/Htmstyle.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/18 22:29:03 lpd)

Increments the version number to 6.20, in anticipation of the next release.
(We do this at the beginning of the development for a release, not the end.)
(doc/History6.htm [1.4], doc/News.htm [1.6]: 2000/03/19 00:27:22 lpd)

Splits out the [T]BCP filter interface into a separate file.
(doc/News.htm [1.7]: 2000/03/19 02:40:18 lpd)

Documents the fact that ImageType 4 images now cause an error for
out-of-range MaskColor values. (doc/News.htm [1.8]: 2000/03/19 04:32:09 lpd)

Updates the change log with recent changes. (doc/Changes.htm [1.4]:
2000/03/19 05:39:58 lpd)

Adds a new document listing projects with which we are seeking help. Also
makes the description of Changes.htm and News.htm more accurate.
(doc/New-user.htm [1.2], doc/Projects.htm [1.1], doc/Readme.htm [1.3]:
2000/03/19 06:07:15 lpd)

Changes the default value of BufferSpace to 4 Mb. In desktop applications,
this is a reasonable value that can substantially improve performance
(especially for color printers); embedded applications will want to set
BufferSpace themselves in any case. (doc/News.htm [1.9]: 2000/03/19 06:51:13
lpd)

Changes the key type returned by parameter list enumeration to include a
persistence flag, makes C parameter lists support non-persistent keys, and
upgrades GC descriptors so that parameter lists can be used non-transiently;
updates implementors of parameter lists to call gs_param_list_init to
initialize the common members, which is now required. (doc/News.htm [1.10]:
2000/03/19 15:16:11 lpd)

Documents the fact that drivers that device halftone order implementations
must now provide the new bit_index procedure. (This should have been
documented when bit_index was introduced!) (doc/News.htm [1.11]: 2000/03/19
15:47:47 lpd)

Makes st_indexed_map private. Clients must now use the constructor procedure
alloc_indexed_map rather than allocating instances directly.
(doc/News.htm [1.12]: 2000/03/19 16:37:28 lpd)

Update the date and change log for the latest batches of checked-in changes.
(doc/Changes.htm [1.5]: 2000/03/19 17:29:57 lpd)

Adds a PDF linearizer ("optimizer"). This is a separate utility (not
integrated with the pdfwrite driver), written in PostScript.
(doc/Psfiles.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/20 04:31:22 lpd)

Adds parsing for the remaining Acrobat Distiller 4 parameters. Implements
the LockDistillerParams, xxxDownsampleThreshold, xxxImageDict, and
xxxACSImageDict distiller parameters. Implements DCTEncode as an
xxxImageFilter option (it used to cause a crash). Makes the
AutoFilterxxxImages distiller parameters select JPEG encoding (with ACSDict)
if the image has 8 bits per component and is not Indexed, and LZW/Flate
otherwise: this still isn't right, but it's closer. Implementation changes:
Changes the implementation of distiller parameter dictionaries from stream
states to parameter lists; changes the test for masks in
psdf_setup_image_filters, and changes the image argument from gs_image_t to
gs_pixel_image_t. (doc/News.htm [1.14]: 2000/03/20 05:40:04 lpd)

Moves font-writing support into a new module (gdevpsf*), changing the source
file names. Adds the ability to write CFF fonts, with either Type 1 or Type
2 CharStrings; unfortunately, Acrobat Reader appears not to accept CFF fonts
with Type 1 CharStrings. Adds the ability to convert Type 1 CharStrings to
Type 2, including optimizing sequences of Type 1 operators into a single
Type 2 operator. Implements writing CIDFontType 0 CFF fonts (CIDFonts) [NOT
TESTED]. Starts (just barely) to remove more unneeded information from
embedded TrueType fonts. (doc/News.htm [1.15]: 2000/03/20 07:02:12 lpd)

Updates the consolidated change log with today's changes.
(doc/Changes.htm [1.6]: 2000/03/20 07:18:38 lpd)

Starts to move support for CIDFontType 0 and 2 into C code, needed by the
PDF writer for handling CID-keyed fonts. Implements GlyphDirectory for
CIDFonts. Makes GDBytes and CIDMapOffset optional for CIDFontType 0 fonts
that have a GlyphDirectory (not documented in the PLRM, but clearly
correct). Implements Adobe 3011 features: integer and dictionary CIDMaps,
and the MetricsCount entry, in CIDFontType 2 fonts (but only in the C code,
which isn't hooked in yet, not in the PostScript code in gs_cidfn.ps.)
(doc/News.htm [1.16]: 2000/03/20 19:53:06 lpd)

Notes that the argument list for the internal build_gs_TrueType_font
procedure has changed, as part of the CIDFont migration to C code.
(doc/News.htm [1.17]: 2000/03/20 20:04:20 lpd)

Adds invocation scripts and documentation for the PDF "optimizer".
(man/pdfopt.1 [1.1]: 2000/03/21 17:01:33 lpd)

Updates information about reporting problems when using Ghostview or GSview.
(doc/Bug-form.htm [1.3], doc/New-user.htm [1.3]: 2000/03/22 22:13:49 lpd)

Checks in the latest consolidated change log. (doc/Changes.htm [1.7]:
2000/03/24 05:04:55 lpd)

Substantially enhances the Cos object machinery. Interface: Adds a few more
procedures, including a procedure to create a stream that writes directly
into a Cos stream object, procedures for putting more kinds of values into
arrays and dictionaries, and a param_list interface. Changes Cos objects to
store a reference to the PDF device, and removes the device argument from
all Cos procedures other than object creation. Replaces the Boolean
is_object member of Cos values by a value_type enum: clients must now use
COS_VALUE_IS_OBJECT() to test whether a value is an object reference. To
reduce allocator overhead, makes the Cos procedures that take C strings no
longer copy the string. Records whether each Cos object has been written
into the output, so that in the future (but not in this batch of changes)
resource definitions can be copied at the end of each page. Implementation:
Moves more of the implementation of Cos objects to the .c file.
(doc/News.htm [1.19]: 2000/03/24 06:12:52 lpd)

Adds parsing for the remaining Acrobat Distiller 4 parameters, although most
of them don't have any effect yet; brings documentation up to date.
(doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.3]: 2000/03/28 07:36:58 lpd)

Implements LockDistillerParams; completes the StartPage/EndPage fix checked
in just before. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.4]: 2000/03/28 07:52:06 lpd)

Changes the default value of FPU_TYPE in all Windows and OS/2 makefiles from
0 to 387, since all current desktop CPUs include floating point hardware.
(doc/News.htm [1.20]: 2000/03/28 17:03:48 lpd)

Changes the get_outline / glyph_data procedure for getting encoded font
outline data to return an indication of whether the outline data were just
allocated and can be freed by the client. (This is a possibly
non-backward-compatible change.) (doc/News.htm [1.21]: 2000/03/28 18:47:02
lpd)

Adds a note about bogus "ANSI aliasing" warnings from the DEC C compiler.
(doc/Make.htm [1.8]: 2000/03/29 19:29:08 lpd)

Changes the procs structure of gs_type1_data to an in-line structure rather
than a pointer to a const structure. (Needed for moving CIDFontType 0
support into C.) (doc/News.htm [1.22]: 2000/03/29 22:10:31 lpd)

Updates the change log with recent changes. (doc/Changes.htm [1.8]:

Updates the documentation on preparing releases to reflect the addition of
the toolbin directory. (doc/Release.htm [1.7]: 2000/04/02 18:56:58 lpd)

Implements the AutoRotatePages distiller parameter. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.5]:
2000/04/03 02:54:41 lpd)

Updates the problem reporting procedure to use SourceForge; separates the
description of the procedure from the reporting form.

gdevpsdu.c [1.1]: 2000/03/20 19:03:43 lpd)

Extends the C support for CIDFontType 0 fonts to include those with FontType
2 subfonts in the FDArray (an Adobe 3011 addition, specifically for CFF
fonts). (gdevpsf.h [1.2]: 2000/03/21 07:43:42 lpd)

Changes the procs structure of gs_type1_data to an in-line structure rather
than a pointer to a const structure. (Needed for moving CIDFontType 0
support into C.) (gdevpsf1.c [1.2], gdevpsf2.c [1.2], gdevpsfx.c [1.2]:
2000/03/29 22:10:31 lpd)

Finishes implementing the ability to write CIDFontType 0 CFFs. This involved
a surprising number of changes in other font-related files.
(gdevpsf2.c [1.3], gdevpsfu.c [1.2]: 2000/04/02 07:38:45 lpd)

Slightly simplifies the output of the psmono and psgray drivers.

Fixes problems:
	- The pointer enumeration procedure for pdf_image_enum was wrong,
possibly producing a mangled pointer and a memory access error if a garbage
collection occured while writing an image in a PDF file. (gdevpdfi.c [1.5]:
2000/03/20 05:54:13 lpd)
	- The computation for testing whether a tiled pattern could be
represented in line, and whether it exceeded Acrobat Reader's size limit,
was wrong, causing some patterns not to be represented as Patterns.
(gdevpdfi.c [1.6]: 2000/03/20 05:58:15 lpd)
	- When ProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK, if the first object on a page
or after changing the clipping path was white, the PDF writer would write it
as black. (gdevpdfu.c [1.3]: 2000/03/21 18:36:36 lpd)
	- If a page ended with an incomplete outline tree, an invalid memory
access occurred. (gdevpdf.c [1.3], gdevpdfm.c [1.2]: 2000/03/24 05:09:56
lpd)
	- The SP pdfmark didn't check that its argument was a graphics
stream. (gdevpdfm.c [1.4]: 2000/03/24 06:18:39 lpd)
	- The name of the EndPage Distiller parameter collided with the
EndPage page device parameter. (gdevpdfp.c [1.4]: 2000/03/28 07:45:25 lpd)
	- If two embedded fonts had the same base font, the PDF file could
wind up with an invalid entry in the xref table. (gdevpdft.c [1.4]:
2000/04/01 01:18:32 lpd)

Adds parsing for the remaining Acrobat Distiller 4 parameters. Implements
the LockDistillerParams, xxxDownsampleThreshold, xxxImageDict, and
xxxACSImageDict distiller parameters. Implements DCTEncode as an
xxxImageFilter option (it used to cause a crash). Makes the
AutoFilterxxxImages distiller parameters select JPEG encoding (with ACSDict)
if the image has 8 bits per component and is not Indexed, and LZW/Flate
otherwise: this still isn't right, but it's closer. Implementation changes:
Changes the implementation of distiller parameter dictionaries from stream
states to parameter lists; changes the test for masks in
psdf_setup_image_filters, and changes the image argument from gs_image_t to
gs_pixel_image_t. (gdevpdfi.c [1.4]: 2000/03/20 05:40:04 lpd)

Moves font-writing support into a new module (gdevpsf*), changing the source
file names. Adds the ability to write CFF fonts, with either Type 1 or Type
2 CharStrings; unfortunately, Acrobat Reader appears not to accept CFF fonts
with Type 1 CharStrings. Adds the ability to convert Type 1 CharStrings to
Type 2, including optimizing sequences of Type 1 operators into a single
Type 2 operator. Implements writing CIDFontType 0 CFF fonts (CIDFonts) [NOT
TESTED]. Starts (just barely) to remove more unneeded information from
embedded TrueType fonts. (gdevpdff.c [1.2], gdevpdfw.c [1.2]: 2000/03/20
07:02:12 lpd)

Substantially enhances the Cos object machinery. Interface: Adds a few more
procedures, including a procedure to create a stream that writes directly
into a Cos stream object, procedures for putting more kinds of values into
arrays and dictionaries, and a param_list interface. Changes Cos objects to
store a reference to the PDF device, and removes the device argument from
all Cos procedures other than object creation. Replaces the Boolean
is_object member of Cos values by a value_type enum: clients must now use
COS_VALUE_IS_OBJECT() to test whether a value is an object reference. To
reduce allocator overhead, makes the Cos procedures that take C strings no
longer copy the string. Records whether each Cos object has been written
into the output, so that in the future (but not in this batch of changes)
resource definitions can be copied at the end of each page. Implementation:
Moves more of the implementation of Cos objects to the .c file.

	- PDF images with DeviceN color spaces caused an error.

	- the PDF interpreter hadn't been updated for the move to
library-based FunctionType 4 Functions, and still tried to bind the names
true and false to the no longer existing operators .true and .false.
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.5]: 2000/03/19 07:37:03 lpd)
	- FunctionType 2 and 3 functions didn't work.
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.6]: 2000/03/19 15:23:10 lpd)

	- The "fix" for FunctionTypes 2 and 3 in PDF files had made things
worse, because the code didn't distinguish between resolving to a PostScript
function (for shadings) and resolving to a PostScript procedure (for
halftones, BG/UCR, alternate color space mapping, etc.)
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.7]: 2000/03/23 18:31:46 lpd)

shading or other constructs in the PDF file could read incorrect data.

Adds a lforall procedure for the PDF linearizer. (lib/pdf_base.ps [1.3]:
2000/03/19 01:50:05 lpd)

Changes the PDF interpreter so that following an object reference doesn't
store the result back into the referring slot, and so that # # R always
creates an indirect object. This is necessary for the PDF linearizer. It
shouldn't have any visible effect (other than a possible small performance
cost). (lib/pdf_base.ps [1.4], lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.4]: 2000/03/19 01:53:58

	- Font substitution was broken. (lib/gs_fonts.ps [1.3]: 2000/03/19
00:22:05 lpd)
	- The CFF reader gave an error if a font included any Subrs (it's
very surprising that this hasn't surfaced before, but apparently Acrobat
Distiller always produces CFF fonts with no Subrs); the CFF reader didn't
default lenIV to -1 for Type 1 CharStrings; the CFF reader wasn't able to
read CIDFonts. (lib/gs_cff.ps [1.3], lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.4]: 2000/03/19
00:45:40 lpd)
	- EXTEND_NAMES had stopped working, because not all places that
needed the index of a name ref used name_index rather than r_size
(ilocate.c), and because the high_index value in the name sub-table was set
incorrectly (iname.c). (ilocate.c [1.2], iname.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 01:33:23

the NullEncode/Decode filters to stream.[hc]. (sfilter1.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19

	- The AutoPositionEPSFiles Distiller parameter was misspelled
AutoPositionEPSFile. (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/19 05:03:31 lpd)
	- Enumerating the elements of a dictionary-based parameter list
returned garbage for the keys. (iparam.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 15:13:13 lpd)
	- .buildfont0 should not check CIDSystemInfo compatibility. The
PLRM3 says PostScript interpreters do not make this check, even though the
PLRM2 says compatibility is required (!). (zfcmap.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19
16:53:50 lpd)
	- If log2_transfer_map_size > 8, identity transfer functions
returned garbage. The fix requires that if a client wants to set a transfer
function to the identity mapping, it must call gx_set_identity_transfer
rather than simply setting the procedure to gs_identity_transfer.
(zcolor.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 17:14:47 lpd)

	- Fixes several problems in resourceforall and resource loading: the
operands of resourceforall were restored even in the case of an error in the
client's procedure; the name Instances had special meaning for some Adobe
code; resourceforall caused an invalidaccess error if an operand was in
local VM but the current VM was global; loading a resource from a file could
cause a typecheck error if the file left values on the operand stack.
(interp.c [1.3], lib/gs_ccfnt.ps [1.2], lib/gs_res.ps [1.3]: 2000/04/04
22:26:02 lpd)

definition. (lib/gs_res.ps [1.4]: 2000/04/05 21:07:02 lpd)
	- The implementation of resourcestatus wasn't compatible with some

Refactors the code for getting Type 1/2/4 font parameters so it can be used
for FDArray entries of CIDFontType 0 fonts. (ifont1.h [1.2], zfont1.c [1.2]:
2000/03/19 02:07:45 lpd)

Speeds up Function evaluation slightly, by preallocating space for a
reasonable number of operands and results on the C stack rather than always
allocating it on the heap. (zfunc.c [1.3]: 2000/03/19 02:16:58 lpd)

Adds a public procedure for determining whether a PostScript object is a

(zdevice2.c [1.2], zfunc4.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 06:56:23 lpd)

Changes the key type returned by parameter list enumeration to include a

upgrades GC descriptors so that parameter lists can be used non-transiently;
updates implementors of parameter lists to call gs_param_list_init to
initialize the common members, which is now required. (iparam.c [1.3]:

Adds a .fileposition operator that will read the position even of
non-positionable streams, needed for the PDF linearizer. (zfileio.c [1.3]:
2000/03/20 04:30:49 lpd)

Starts to move support for CIDFontType 0 and 2 into C code, needed by the
PDF writer for handling CID-keyed fonts. Implements GlyphDirectory for
CIDFonts. Makes GDBytes and CIDMapOffset optional for CIDFontType 0 fonts
that have a GlyphDirectory (not documented in the PLRM, but clearly
correct). Implements Adobe 3011 features: integer and dictionary CIDMaps,
and the MetricsCount entry, in CIDFontType 2 fonts (but only in the C code,
which isn't hooked in yet, not in the PostScript code in gs_cidfn.ps.)
(icid.h [1.1], ifont.h [1.2], ifont42.h [1.1], zcid.c [1.2], zfcid.c [1.1],
zfcmap.c [1.3], zfont42.c [1.2]: 2000/03/20 19:53:06 lpd)

Hooks the new CIDMap code into the BuildGlyph procedure for CIDFontType 2
fonts. (Contrary to a previous log comment, MetricsCount is already hooked
in.) Support for CIDFontType 2 fonts is now implemented entirely in C, as
for Type 42 fonts. (lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.6], zfcid.c [1.2]: 2000/03/21
00:32:15 lpd)

Extends the C support for CIDFontType 0 fonts to include those with FontType
2 subfonts in the FDArray (an Adobe 3011 addition, specifically for CFF
fonts). (ifont2.h [1.1], zfcid.c [1.4], zfont2.c [1.2]: 2000/03/21 07:43:42
lpd)

Changes Subr loading for CIDFontType 0 fonts from lazy to immediate, so that
C code can be guaranteed access to the Subrs. (In every CIDFontType 0 font
that we have seen, SubrCount is 5, so this has no significant time or space
cost.) Also adds support for FDBytes > 1 in GlyphDirectory definitions.
(lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.7]: 2000/03/21 20:06:44 lpd)

Splits off the ReusableStreamDecode filter as a separate module, since
CIDFontType 0 fonts will use it even in LanguageLevels below 3.
(lib/gs_frsd.ps [1.1], lib/gs_ll3.ps [1.3], zfrsd.c [1.1]: 2000/03/21
21:34:57 lpd)

Makes file streams remember the file name, needed for efficiently
implementing reusable streams. (zfile.c [1.3], zfileio.c [1.4]: 2000/03/23
02:13:40 lpd)

Changes the new .filename operator to return true/false rather than causing
an error; redefines findlibfile in terms of a simpler .libfile operator +
.filename. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.5], zfile.c [1.4], zfileio.c [1.5]: 2000/03/23
18:47:17 lpd)

Finishes implementing the file case of ReusableStreamDecode. This required

zbfont.c [1.3], zfcid.c [1.5]: 2000/03/27 16:36:24 lpd)

Changes the get_outline / glyph_data procedure for getting encoded font
outline data to return an indication of whether the outline data were just
allocated and can be freed by the client. (This is a possibly
non-backward-compatible change.) (zfcid.c [1.6]: 2000/03/28 18:47:02 lpd)

Changes the procs structure of gs_type1_data to an in-line structure rather
than a pointer to a const structure. (Needed for moving CIDFontType 0
support into C.) (zfont1.c [1.3]: 2000/03/29 22:10:31 lpd)

Finishes moving support for CIDFontType 0 fonts from PostScript to C.
(ifont.h [1.3], ifont42.h [1.2], lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.10], zfcid.c [1.7],
zfont42.c [1.4]: 2000/03/31 04:55:18 lpd)

Allows dictionaries as the value of CIDMap resources. (Also removes an
unrelated obsolete comment.) (lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.11]: 2000/03/31 05:11:30

Finishes implementing the ability to write CIDFontType 0 CFFs. This involved
a surprising number of changes in other font-related files. (ichar1.h [1.2],
ifcid.h [1.1], zchar1.c [1.2], zfcid.c [1.9], zfcid0.c [1.1],
zfcid1.c [1.1], zfont1.c [1.4]: 2000/04/02 07:38:46 lpd)

Makes the .writefont9 operator (used only for testing) available in both
DEBUG and PROFILE configurations. (zfcid0.c [1.2]: 2000/04/03 02:37:55 lpd)

Extends .forceput to handle arrays as well as dictionaries, required to fix
a bug with internaldict. (zdict.c [1.2], zgeneric.c [1.2]: 2000/04/04

Works around an Adobe code assumption that the default FindResource
procedure does *not* call the ResourceStatus procedure if the requested
instance is already defined in VM. (lib/gs_res.ps [1.7]: 2000/04/05 23:31:54
lpd)

Implements the framework for superexec (but none of the actual access check
bypasses). (icontext.c [1.2], icstate.h [1.2], zcontrol.c [1.2]: 2000/04/06
04:40:06 lpd)

Extends the undocumented CCRun procedure to take an additional argument, a
Private dictionary, required by some Adobe font downloading code.

</pre><h2><a name="6.20 Streams"></a>Streams</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- s_add_filter didn't ensure enough buffering. This entailed moving
the NullEncode/Decode filters to stream.[hc]. (sfilter.h [1.3],
stream.c [1.3], stream.h [1.3]: 2000/03/19 03:15:02 lpd)
	- When FPU_TYPE <= 0, the image interpolation code lost too much
accuracy, producing color streaks in the output. (Fix by DanCoby.)
(siscale.c [1.2]: 2000/03/29 20:34:45 lpd)
	- Fixes a couple of typos in the recently checked-in image
interpolation fix. (siscale.c [1.3]: 2000/03/30 06:55:26 lpd)

Splits out the [T]BCP filter interface into a separate file. (sbcp.c [1.2],
sbcp.h [1.1], sfilter.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 02:40:18 lpd)

Adds a skip_count parameter to the SubFileDecode filter, giving the number
of initial bytes or records to skip over. (Needed for printing FunctionType
4 functions, possibly useful for other things.) (sfilter.h [1.4]: 2000/03/19
03:20:18 lpd)

Changes the key type returned by parameter list enumeration to include a
persistence flag, makes C parameter lists support non-persistent keys, and
upgrades GC descriptors so that parameter lists can be used non-transiently;
updates implementors of parameter lists to call gs_param_list_init to
initialize the common members, which is now required. (spsdf.c [1.2]:
2000/03/19 15:16:11 lpd)

Makes file streams remember the file name, needed for efficiently
implementing reusable streams. (stream.c [1.4], stream.h [1.4]: 2000/03/23
02:13:40 lpd)

Finishes implementing the file case of ReusableStreamDecode. This required
adding the ability to restrict file-reading streams to a subfile.
(sfxfd.c [1.2], sfxstdio.c [1.2], stream.c [1.5], stream.h [1.5]: 2000/03/24
03:59:42 lpd)

Changes a few initializations to suppress warnings from one picky compiler
that doesn't like ptr = buf - 1 where buf is an array. (spsdf.c [1.3]:
2000/03/28 02:01:34 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.20 Library"></a>Library</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Two comments in the file were incorrect. (gsiparm3.h [1.2]:
2000/03/19 02:46:11 lpd)
	- param_coerce_typed, which works with any parameter list
implementation, was incorrectly described as associated with the default
implementation. (gsparam.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 03:37:08 lpd)
	- TrueType fonts didn't use vhea/vmtx if WMode = 1. Also makes
gs_font_type42 subclassable, for implementing CIDFontType 2 fonts, and makes
its procedure for getting a glyph's side bearing and width virtual, required
to support MetricsCount in CIDFontType 2 fonts. (gstype42.c [1.3],
gxfont42.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 03:58:51 lpd)
	- ImageType 4 images didn't give an error for out-of-range MaskColor
values. The file also had an unnecessary #include. (gximage4.c [1.2]:
2000/03/19 04:10:09 lpd)
	- If log2_transfer_map_size > 8, identity transfer functions
returned garbage. The fix requires that if a client wants to set a transfer
function to the identity mapping, it must call gx_set_identity_transfer
rather than simply setting the procedure to gs_identity_transfer.
(gxclrast.c [1.3], gxcmap.c [1.2], gxfmap.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 17:14:47 lpd)
	- Fixes a warning about aliasing produced by one extremely picky
compiler. (gsnogc.c [1.2]: 2000/03/22 21:39:32 lpd)
	- Filling or clipping with ridiculously large (out-of-bounds)
coordinates could cause an internal overflow that produced incorrect
results. (This is probably not the last such bug.) (gxfill.c [1.2]:
2000/03/30 07:03:59 lpd)

Provides a gs_atan2_degrees procedure to parallel sin and cos.
(gsmisc.c [1.2], gxfarith.h [1.2]: 2000/03/18 23:10:39 lpd)

Improves the 8x8 bitmap "flipping" procedure to take advantage of 32-bit
ints. (gsutil.c [1.2]: 2000/03/18 23:16:16 lpd)

Adds a public procedure for restricting a color to its legal range.
(gscspace.c [1.2], gscspace.h [1.2], gxcspace.h [1.2]: 2000/03/18 23:19:17

Adds the new ImagemaskTrapping parameter to the trapping state.
(gstrap.c [1.2], gstrap.h [1.2]: 2000/03/18 23:26:17 lpd)

Increments the version number to 6.20, in anticipation of the next release.
(We do this at the beginning of the development for a release, not the end.)
(gscdef.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 00:27:22 lpd)

Adds a pseudo-encoding for the CFF StandardStrings that represent
characters. (gsccode.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 00:38:50 lpd)

Adds a bit_index procedure to the implementation of device halftones,
required for writing halftones in PDF files. (The only implementors are
internal ones.) (gxdht.h [1.2], gxhtbit.c [1.2]: 2000/03/19 05:10:55 lpd)

Adds a public procedure for getting a palette entry of an Indexed color
space, used when writing Indexed color spaces in PDF files.
(gscindex.h [1.1], gscolor2.c [1.2], gscolor2.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 05:20:28

Reimplements "PostScript calculator" (FunctionType 4) functions entirely in
C, to allow them to be written out in PDF files. (gsfunc4.c [1.1],
gsfunc4.h [1.1], gsstruct.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 05:25:53 lpd)

Moves gx_device_color_equal to the public API, for detecting redundant color
setting when writing PDF files. (gsdcolor.h [1.2], gxdcolor.c [1.2],
gxdcolor.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 06:46:08 lpd)

Changes the default value of BufferSpace to 4 Mb. In desktop applications,
this is a reasonable value that can substantially improve performance
(especially for color printers); embedded applications will want to set
BufferSpace themselves in any case. (gdevprn.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 06:51:13
lpd)

Adds virtual procedures for Functions to write their parameters to a
parameter list, and to access their data source and subfunctions. This is
needed for writing Functions in PDF files. This change is also a
prerequisite for the C implemention of FunctionType 4 functions, even though
it appears later in the change log. (gsdsrc.h [1.2], gsfunc.c [1.2],
gsfunc.h [1.2], gsfunc0.c [1.2], gsfunc3.c [1.2], gsparam.c [1.2],
gsparam.h [1.3], gxfunc.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 07:24:53 lpd)

Splits off "vanilla" Functions into separate files, in anticipation of
removing them (they were only used to implement PostScript Calculator
Functions). (gsfunc.c [1.3], gsfunc.h [1.3], gsfuncv.c [1.1],
gsfuncv.h [1.1]: 2000/03/19 07:33:08 lpd)

Adds a procedure for allocating a C parameter list. (gscparam.c [1.2],
gsparam.h [1.4]: 2000/03/19 15:00:05 lpd)

Undoes a premature change that depends on an update not yet checked in.
(gscparam.c [1.3]: 2000/03/19 15:07:59 lpd)

Changes the key type returned by parameter list enumeration to include a
persistence flag, makes C parameter lists support non-persistent keys, and
upgrades GC descriptors so that parameter lists can be used non-transiently;
updates implementors of parameter lists to call gs_param_list_init to
initialize the common members, which is now required. (gscparam.c [1.4],
gsparam.c [1.3], gsparam.h [1.5]: 2000/03/19 15:16:11 lpd)

Adds a procedure for copying one parameter list to another.
(gsparamx.c [1.2], gsparamx.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 15:35:31 lpd)

Records the CTM used for sampling HalftoneType 1 spot functions. This is
needed for recognizing the standard spot functions when producing PDF
output. Also factors the code for initializing spot functions for the
benefit of the PDF writer. (gshtscr.c [1.2], gxdht.h [1.3], gzht.h [1.2]:
2000/03/19 15:43:36 lpd)

Adds a proc_data member to the map for Separation and Indexed color spaces.
(gscolor2.c [1.3], gxcolor2.h [1.2]: 2000/03/19 16:23:46 lpd)

Makes st_indexed_map private. Clients must now use the constructor procedure
alloc_indexed_map rather than allocating instances directly.
(gscolor2.c [1.4], gscsepr.c [1.2], gxclrast.c [1.2], gxcolor2.h [1.3]:
2000/03/19 16:37:28 lpd)

Adds procedures for building and accessing DeviceN color spaces.
(gscdevn.c [1.2], gscdevn.h [1.1]: 2000/03/19 17:02:37 lpd)

Exports the 'blend' operators of the Type 1 interpreter, for use by the Type
1 / Type 2 font writer. (gstype1.c [1.3], gxtype1.c [1.2], gxtype1.h [1.3]:
2000/03/19 18:46:44 lpd)

Starts to move support for CIDFontType 0 and 2 fonts into C code. (These
header files are the ones needed to compile the new gdevpsf* files; they
don't interact with any existing code.) (gxcid.h [1.1], gxfcid.h [1.1]:
2000/03/20 06:40:22 lpd)

Moves font-writing support into a new module (gdevpsf*), changing the source
file names. Adds the ability to write CFF fonts, with either Type 1 or Type
2 CharStrings; unfortunately, Acrobat Reader appears not to accept CFF fonts
with Type 1 CharStrings. Adds the ability to convert Type 1 CharStrings to
Type 2, including optimizing sequences of Type 1 operators into a single
Type 2 operator. Implements writing CIDFontType 0 CFF fonts (CIDFonts) [NOT
TESTED]. Starts (just barely) to remove more unneeded information from
embedded TrueType fonts. (gxttf.h [1.1]: 2000/03/20 07:02:12 lpd)

Starts to move support for CIDFontType 0 and 2 into C code, needed by the
PDF writer for handling CID-keyed fonts. Implements GlyphDirectory for
CIDFonts. Makes GDBytes and CIDMapOffset optional for CIDFontType 0 fonts
that have a GlyphDirectory (not documented in the PLRM, but clearly
correct). Implements Adobe 3011 features: integer and dictionary CIDMaps,
and the MetricsCount entry, in CIDFontType 2 fonts (but only in the C code,
which isn't hooked in yet, not in the PostScript code in gs_cidfn.ps.)
(gsfcid.c [1.1], gsfcmap.c [1.3], gxfcmap.h [1.2], gxfont1.h [1.2]:
2000/03/20 19:53:06 lpd)

Changes a few initializations to suppress warnings from one picky compiler
that doesn't like ptr = buf - 1 where buf is an array. (gxclpath.c [1.2]:
2000/03/28 02:01:34 lpd)

Changes the get_outline / glyph_data procedure for getting encoded font
outline data to return an indication of whether the outline data were just
allocated and can be freed by the client. (This is a possibly
non-backward-compatible change.) (gxfcid.h [1.2], gxfont42.h [1.3]:
2000/03/28 18:47:02 lpd)

Changes the procs structure of gs_type1_data to an in-line structure rather
than a pointer to a const structure. (Needed for moving CIDFontType 0
support into C.) (gstype1.c [1.4], gstype2.c [1.3], gxfont1.h [1.3],
gxtype1.c [1.3]: 2000/03/29 22:10:31 lpd)

Finishes moving support for CIDFontType 0 fonts from PostScript to C.
(gxfcid.h [1.3]: 2000/03/31 04:55:18 lpd)

Finishes implementing the ability to write CIDFontType 0 CFFs. This involved
a surprising number of changes in other font-related files. (gsfcid.c [1.2],
gxfcid.h [1.4]: 2000/04/02 07:38:46 lpd)

to const psdf_set_color_commands_t *.
(Interpreter)
	- The non-standard feature of writing dictionaries in binary object
output is now disabled by default, but can now be enabled dynamically.
(Library)
	- The definition of TRANSPARENCY_PER_H_P is moved from gdevmrop.h to

	- The handling of the source opaque, texture transparent case of
RasterOp when TRANSPARENCY_PER_H_P is defined is changed slightly.


<h2><a name="6.01 Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- Fixes a typo. (man/ps2pdf.1 [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:11:06 lpd)
	- When converting PostScript to PDF, selecting /Bicubic as an image
DownsampleType caused an error instead of defaulting to /Average.
(doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:16:09 lpd)
	- The gs###src.zip and gs###lib.zip files weren't mentioned as being
included in distributions; News.htm and Changes.htm weren't mentioned at
all. (doc/Release.htm [1.5]: 2000/03/15 07:23:52 lpd)
	- Fixes a problem producing too much black in the output; also adds
support for 5 new printers (H-P Color DeskJet 690, H-P DesignJet 750, and
Epson Stylus Color 200). Note that this is user-contributed code.
(doc/Devices.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/16 02:01:36 lpd)

In ansi2knr, adds user-contributed support for concatenated string literals
and character constants, and fixes for a couple of minor bugs.
(man/ansi2knr.1 [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:16:17 lpd)

Removes an inappropriate copying notice. (doc/Hershey.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10
07:03:57 lpd)

Clarifies when xdpyinfo and xwininfo are needed. Adds privacy options for
problem reports. (doc/Bug-form.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:06:08 lpd)

Adds a new eps2eps utility analogous to ps2ps. (man/eps2eps.1 [1.1],
man/ps2ps.1 [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:51:55 lpd)

Updates the documentation on making RPMs, which is no longer supported.
(doc/Install.htm [1.2], doc/Make.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:58:00 lpd)

Adds a recommendation to use gcc on SGI platforms. (doc/Make.htm [1.3]:
2000/03/10 07:59:53 lpd)

Updates documentation regarding Unix systems that do/don't use libpthread.
(doc/Make.htm [1.4]: 2000/03/10 08:01:35 lpd)

Removes support for VAX C, which DEC stopped supporting 9 (!) years ago.
(doc/Make.htm [1.5], doc/Use.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10 08:02:59 lpd)

Updates the documentation for building Aladdin releases to reflect revised
procedures for the Windows executable, and a few other minor changes.
(doc/Release.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/10 15:55:39 lpd)

Adds the ability to compile on OS/2 with XFree86. (doc/Install.htm [1.3],
doc/Make.htm [1.6]: 2000/03/10 19:50:49 lpd)

Moves all history for versions 5.n into History5.htm; creates History6.htm
for versions 6.n; redefines News.htm as containing only news for the current
release; adds (a link to) Changes.htm for the mechanically generated change
log. (doc/History5.htm [1.2], doc/History6.htm [1.1], doc/News.htm [1.2],
doc/README [1.2], doc/Readme.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/14 06:14:43 lpd)

Partially updates the release procedure documentation to reflect the use of
SourceForge and CVS. (doc/Release.htm [1.3]: 2000/03/14 06:39:23 lpd)

Adds a change log generated mechanically from the CVS logs. Future releases
may omit this file (doc/Changes.htm) from their change log.
(doc/Changes.htm [1.1], doc/News.htm [1.3]: 2000/03/14 06:48:44 lpd)

Revises the release procedures to reflect use of SourceForge, and to
separate out the procedures for building Windows executables.
(doc/Release.htm [1.4]: 2000/03/15 02:24:58 lpd)

Adds information on uninstalling Ghostscript on Windows.
(doc/Install.htm [1.4]: 2000/03/15 07:29:53 lpd)

Adds the ability to set the ProcessColorModel of the pdfwrite device to
/DeviceGray, /DeviceRGB, or /DeviceCMYK. This affects the color space used
for fill, stroke, text, and imagemask, and for images that (for whatever
reason) can't be written in their specified color space. Note that this is a
short-term fix: pdfwrite should output colors in the color space in which
they were specified. However, a proper fix will require more significant
architectural changes. (doc/News.htm [1.4]: 2000/03/16 01:21:23 lpd)

Adds a reference to a third-party Fontmap for the Computer Modern fonts.
(doc/Fonts.htm [1.2]: 2000/03/16 04:05:07 lpd)

Adds documentation and a makefile entry for Matthew Gelhaus' cdj880 driver.
The code will eventually be included in gdevcd8.c, but it is not yet mature
enough. (doc/Devices.htm [1.3]: 2000/03/16 08:09:42 lpd)

Updates the version number reference in the troff header.
(man/ps2pdf.1 [1.3], man/ps2ps.1 [1.3]: 2000/03/17 00:47:08 lpd)

Removes the attempted documentation on building Windows executable
distributions: it was never correct, and Aladdin will no longer be creating
such distributions. Also reorganizes the document slightly and brings the
rest of it fully into line with reality. (doc/Release.htm [1.6]: 2000/03/17
04:40:47 lpd)

Adds information on building with the Intel C/C++ optimizing compiler
(requires the Microsoft Visual C++ environment), and fixes a typo in the
link to ftp.cdrom.com. (doc/Make.htm [1.7]: 2000/03/17 17:42:59 lpd)

Checks in the first wrap-up for the 6.01 release. (doc/Changes.htm [1.2],
doc/History6.htm [1.2], doc/News.htm [1.5]: 2000/03/18 04:13:40 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.01 Procedures"></a>Procedures</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- The terminating $ on the $Id: line in gsmalloc.c was missing, and
dwuninst.rc lacked a $Id: line. (dwuninst.rc [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:44:33 lpd)
	- The %ram% IODevice was defined, but should not be (it represents a
RAM-based file system, which Ghostscript does not provide). Fix: The type of
the %null% IODevice was /FileSystem rather than /Special. (int.mak [1.2]:
2000/03/10 07:02:07 lpd)
	- The dependency list for coslwxl omitted a $(DD).
(contrib.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:30:54 lpd)
	- The makefile still referred to a long-gone driver for the DEC
LA70. (contrib.mak [1.3]: 2000/03/10 07:32:43 lpd)
	- The Unix install process tried to make links without deleting them
first. (unixinst.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:49:21 lpd)
	- The Watcom compiler switches didn't force enums to occupy a full
int, leading to execution errors because the code casts (enum *) pointers to
(int *). (wccommon.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 08:15:31 lpd)
	- The Windows zip archive didn't include font metrics files. (This
change only fixes the build procedure: it doesn't actually update the
currently released zip archive.) (winint.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 08:17:06 lpd)
	- the "all architectures" build and test script hadn't been updated
to use different STDLIBS values depending on where the platform provides the
pthreads library. (all-arch.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 15:40:43 lpd)
	- The documentation for building with pthreads on FreeBSD hadn't
been updated. (unix-gcc.mak [1.2], unixansi.mak [1.2], unixtrad.mak [1.2]:
2000/03/10 15:44:01 lpd)
	- gsmalloc.c didn't include the prototype for gs_exit(), which it
calls. (lib.mak [1.2]: 2000/03/10 15:53:08 lpd)

Because of rampant confusion, disagreement, and lack of standardization,
removes the RPM-related spec and patch files. (gs-fonts.rps [1.2],
gs.rps [1.2], rpm-conf.dif [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:22:04 lpd)

Increases the stack size for the PC platforms, since a user had reported
that the OS/2 stack size was too small. (dw32c.def [1.2],
dwmain32.def [1.2], gsos2.def [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:33:21 lpd)

Updates the Brother HL7xx drivers with a new user-contributed version, plus
a couple of minor fixes. (contrib.mak [1.4]: 2000/03/10 07:33:44 lpd)

Adds a new eps2eps utility analogous to ps2ps. (unixinst.mak [1.3]:
2000/03/10 07:51:55 lpd)

Removes support for VAX C, which DEC stopped supporting 9 (!) years ago.
(openvms.mak [1.2], openvms.mmk [1.2]: 2000/03/10 08:02:59 lpd)

Updates all makefiles to the current libpng version, 1.0.5.
(bcwin32.mak [1.2], dvx-gcc.mak [1.2], msvc32.mak [1.2], msvclib.mak [1.2],

Updates the version # to 6.01, and the version date. (version.mak [1.2]:
2000/03/10 17:18:29 lpd)

Adds the ability to compile on OS/2 with XFree86. (os2.mak [1.3]: 2000/03/10
19:50:49 lpd)

Moves all history for versions 5.n into History5.htm; creates History6.htm
for versions 6.n; redefines News.htm as containing only news for the current
release; adds (a link to) Changes.htm for the mechanically generated change
log. (unixinst.mak [1.4], version.mak [1.3]: 2000/03/14 06:14:44 lpd)

Adds entries for ibm-rs6000-aix-4.3, sgi-mips-irix6.5-64bit, and
sun-sparc-solaris-64bit. (all-arch.mak [1.3]: 2000/03/15 18:38:29 lpd)

Adds the ability to set the ProcessColorModel of the pdfwrite device to
/DeviceGray, /DeviceRGB, or /DeviceCMYK. This affects the color space used
for fill, stroke, text, and imagemask, and for images that (for whatever
reason) can't be written in their specified color space. Note that this is a
short-term fix: pdfwrite should output colors in the color space in which
they were specified. However, a proper fix will require more significant
architectural changes. (version.mak [1.4]: 2000/03/16 01:21:24 lpd)

Adds documentation and a makefile entry for Matthew Gelhaus' cdj880 driver.
The code will eventually be included in gdevcd8.c, but it is not yet mature
enough. (contrib.mak [1.5]: 2000/03/16 08:09:42 lpd)

Adds a missing dependency of gdevpdft.o on gxfont42.h. (devs.mak [1.2]:
2000/03/17 02:59:26 lpd)

Adds a disclaimer of responsibility for the makefile section for creating
distribution archives, which Aladdin is no longer maintaining.
(winint.mak [1.3]: 2000/03/17 03:01:58 lpd)

Checks in the first wrap-up for the 6.01 release. (unix-gcc.mak [1.4],

</pre><h2><a name="6.01 Utilities"></a>Utilities</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- The loader for the stochastic halftone incorrectly assumed that
the resource file left the resource on the stack, causing a stackunderflow
error. (lib/stocht.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:34:44 lpd)
	- The ps2pdf*.bat scripts didn't set PS2PDFSW to the empty string if
there were no arguments, causing the same file to be processed again.
(lib/ps2pdf12.bat [1.2], lib/ps2pdf13.bat [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:40:00 lpd)
	- Fixes a typo in the fix for putting stdout in binary mode.
(gp_ntfs.c [1.3]: 2000/03/18 01:15:16 lpd)
	- For printer devices, a non-null definition for OutputFile was
required even on platforms that had a default printer (as implemented by
gp_open_printer for that platform). (gp_os9.c [1.2], gp_unix.c [1.2],
gp_vms.c [1.2]: 2000/03/18 01:45:16 lpd)

In ansi2knr, adds user-contributed support for concatenated string literals
and character constants, and fixes for a couple of minor bugs.
(ansi2knr.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:16:17 lpd)

Updates the pf2afm.ps utility with a revised version from its authors.
(lib/pf2afm.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:35:37 lpd)

Adds a new eps2eps utility analogous to ps2ps. (lib/eps2eps [1.1],
lib/eps2eps.bat [1.1]: 2000/03/10 07:51:55 lpd)

Removes a temporary file that was included in the fileset by mistake.
(lib/history [1.2]: 2000/03/10 08:18:36 lpd)

Changes the ps2pdf MS Windows / MS-DOS scripts to use temporary files to
avoid the absurdly low limits on the length of a command line and the total
size of environment variable definitions. (lib/ps2pdf.bat [1.2],
lib/ps2pdf12.bat [1.3], lib/ps2pdf13.bat [1.3], lib/ps2pdfwr.bat [1.2],
lib/ps2pdfxx.bat [1.1]: 2000/03/14 20:20:20 lpd)

On Windows, puts stdout into binary mode as well as stdin, to allow piping
printer output through stdout (not a good idea, but it should be supported
as well as on other platforms). (gp_ntfs.c [1.2]: 2000/03/17 06:22:59 lpd)

</pre><h2><a name="6.01 Drivers"></a>Drivers</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- When converting PostScript to PDF, selecting /Bicubic as an image
DownsampleType caused an error instead of defaulting to /Average.
(gdevpsdf.h [1.2], gdevpsdi.c [1.2], gdevpsdp.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:16:09

	- The mswinpr2 driver didn't handle setting BitsPerPixel to the same
value when the device was already open, possibly causing an error on restore
or grestore. (gdevwpr2.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:26:07 lpd)
	- When operating in buffered mode (MaxBitmap > 0), the X driver
sometimes failed to copy all of the updated area to the screen.
(gdevx.c [1.2], gdevx.h [1.2], gdevxini.c [1.2], gdevxxf.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10

	- The [e]pswrite driver produced invalid output if the input file
didn't end with a showpage. Also cleans up some formatting and removes a
redundant test. (gdevps.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:44:27 lpd)
	- Fixes a problem producing too much black in the output; also adds
support for 5 new printers (H-P Color DeskJet 690, H-P DesignJet 750, and
Epson Stylus Color 200). Note that this is user-contributed code.

	- The X driver's algorithm for deciding when to update the screen
was changed several times between 5.50 and 6.0, and one of the more recent
changes caused it to copy many more pixels to the screen than necessary if
the file was making marks on the page in widely separated places.
(gdevx.c [1.3]: 2000/03/17 07:35:43 lpd)

wasn't allocated with a stable allocator, possibly leading to memory access
errors if save/restore were used. (gdevxini.c [1.3]: 2000/03/18 04:11:59

Updates the Brother HL7xx drivers with a new user-contributed version, plus
a couple of minor fixes. (gdevhl7x.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:33:44 lpd)

Enhances the [e]pswrite driver to handle Indexed color spaces over Device
color spaces, only with the standard Decode. (gdevps.c [1.3]: 2000/03/10
07:45:50 lpd)

Adds the ability to set the ProcessColorModel of the pdfwrite device to
/DeviceGray, /DeviceRGB, or /DeviceCMYK. This affects the color space used
for fill, stroke, text, and imagemask, and for images that (for whatever
reason) can't be written in their specified color space. Note that this is a
short-term fix: pdfwrite should output colors in the color space in which

</pre><h2><a name="6.01 PDF writer"></a>PDF writer</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- In-line images emitted an extra 'q' (gsave), causing the CTM to
become incorrect, entries to pile up on the dictionary stack, and an
invalidrestore error to occur at the end of the page. (gdevpdfi.c [1.2]:
2000/03/10 03:47:37 lpd)
	- The change in 5.99 to work around Acrobat Reader's 32K limit on
user space coordinates caused all 0-width rectangles to disappear, which had
major effects on some files. (gdevpdfd.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:48:10 lpd)
	- Incrementally downloaded TrueType fonts produced truncated Widths
tables in the output. We have patched this with a ******HACK****** that
causes such fonts to be converted to bitmaps: the correct fix (to delay
determining the range of valid characters until the font is written) is too
large a change to make in a bug fix release. (gdevpdft.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10

Fixes problems:
	- When interpreting a PDF file, the Install page device procedure
got more and more deeply nested after every page, eventually causing an
execstackoverflow. (lib/pdf_main.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:56:11 lpd)
	- When interpreting a PDF file, text drawing operators didn't reset
the text position, so strings could get displayed on top of each other. (bug
introduced by a fix in 5.98) (lib/pdf_ops.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:57:03 lpd)
	- When interpreting a PDF file, substituted small-cap fonts were

</pre><h2><a name="6.01 Interpreter"></a>Interpreter</h2><pre>

Fixes problems:
	- There were extraneous 'def' commands that caused definitions to be
made in the wrong dictionary. (lib/gs_ttf.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:31:39 lpd)
	- If an error occurred while loading a font, it wouldn't produce an
error message. (This is a 'fix' of a 'fix' of a 'fix': it might well break
something else.) (lib/gs_type1.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:37:14 lpd)
	- When reading the strings of a binary object sequence, having to
get more data from a procedure-based stream sometimes caused a syntaxerror.
Fix: If the reserved (0) field in binary objects or binary object sequences
was not 0, no syntaxerror occurred. (iscanbin.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:38:50
lpd)
	- The code for handling execstackoverflow errors didn't cut back the
stack correctly, possibly causing invalid memory accesses if an incorrect
attempt was made to run a cleanup procedure. (interp.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10
04:04:38 lpd)
	- Writing of dictionaries in binary object output, a non-standard
extension, was enabled by default, and also had to be enabled at startup
time if it was ever going to be used. Fix: Binary error messages caused an
error if the command wasn't of a type that printobject could handle. We now
do what the Adobe implementations appear to do in this case, namely, convert
the object with cvs. (lib/gs_btokn.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:27:31 lpd)
	- CloseSource and CloseTarget were effectively ignored for Flate and
LZW filters with a Predictor, and for the DCT filters. (ifilter.h [1.2],

	- findlibfile didn't handle %iodevice% prefixes correctly.
(zfile.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:35:08 lpd)
	- fileposition didn't give an error for filters or non-seekable
streams. (zfileio.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:35:53 lpd)
	- Images with input from a file or filter demanded 1 byte of data
too many, sometimes causing the last line of the image to be dropped. (bug
probably introduced in 6.0) (zimage.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:37:02 lpd)
	- The check for a show within a cshow procedure for a CID font was
wrong. Fix: Character widths in CIDFontType 0 fonts were ignored (!). Adds a
.glyphwidth operator to support correct handling of character widths for CID
fonts. Adds a glyphwidth procedure to the library, like glyphshow and
glyphpath, in order to support correct handling of widths for CID fonts.
(ichar.h [1.2], lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.2], zchar.c [1.2], zcharx.c [1.2]:

	- Fixes incorrect documentation of several procedures.
(lib/gs_fonts.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 07:00:28 lpd)
	- The %ram% IODevice was defined, but should not be (it represents a
RAM-based file system, which Ghostscript does not provide). Fix: The type of
the %null% IODevice was /FileSystem rather than /Special. (ziodev2.c [1.2]:
2000/03/10 07:02:07 lpd)
	- Directly-loaded TrueType fonts (including embedded TrueType fonts
in PDF files) could get confused with each other in the cache, because their
XUIDs were based on the font checksum field, which some fonts don't have set
correctly. (lib/gs_ttf.ps [1.3]: 2000/03/16 07:38:07 lpd)

Adds a new example file, a 3-D synthetic image. (examples/doretree.ps [1.1]:
2000/03/10 04:00:45 lpd)

Adds implementations of the devforall, devstatus, and diskonline
compatibility operators. (lib/gs_statd.ps [1.2]: 2000/03/10 04:01:55 lpd)

Some Adobe CIDFonts include a line /Setup /cid_Setup load def that
apparently is intended only to prevent the fonts from being loaded by a
standard PostScript interpreter (as opposed to ATM or a special font
loader), since cid_Setup is not defined anywhere and Setup is never
referenced; this change adds a dummy definition of cid_Setup to work around
this. (lib/gs_cidfn.ps [1.3]: 2000/03/10 04:53:25 lpd)

Updates the version # to 6.01, and the version date. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.2]:
2000/03/10 17:18:29 lpd)

Changes the default undercolor removal and black generation functions back

On Windows, puts stdout into binary mode as well as stdin, to allow piping

Currently, the latter values are dummies. (gsiodev.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10

(gsargs.h [1.2]: 2000/03/16 02:01:36 lpd)
	- The code for Axial shadings incorrectly assumed that if the
shading axis was horizontal or vertical in user space, it was also
horizontal or vertical in device space: this caused incorrect results when
the CTM wasn't orthogonal. (gxshade1.c [1.2]: 2000/03/17 08:17:55 lpd)
	- For printer devices, a non-null definition for OutputFile was

so that clients who care can tell whether the font is being downloaded
incrementally. (gstype42.c [1.2]: 2000/03/10 03:45:29 lpd)

<h2><a name="6.0_Procedures"></a>Procedures</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- Building on BSDI didn't work.  The simplest way to fix this was to
change the linking of the pthreads library on Unix platforms to be included
in STDLIBS rather than the "sync" implementation. (fix contributed by a
user) (lib.mak, unix-gcc.mak, unixansi.mak, unixtrad.mak)
	- Once again, some runtime files weren't installed.  (unixinst.mak)

Updates the user-contributed all-architectures makefile.  (all-arch.mak)

<h2><a name="6.0_Utilities"></a>Utilities</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- A needed #include was missing.  (geninit.c)
	- There were signed/unsigned char mismatches.  (genht.c, geninit.c)

<h2><a name="6.0_Drivers"></a>Drivers</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- The X driver compared too many bits of color value, leading to
unnecessary halftoning.  (bug introduced by a fix in 5.99) (gdevxcmp.c)
	- Output from the pswrite driver got a dictfull error on Level 1
printers.  (gdevps.c)

Fixes problems:
	- The Dest key was deleted from GoTo and GoToR link annotation
pdfmarks.  (gdevpdfm.c)
	- {name} references were substituted even in stream data for the
/PUT pdfmark.  (gdevpdfm.c)
	- The revision number was sometimes printed incorrectly if its
fraction part was zero.  (gdevpdf.c)
	- Embedded Multiple Master font instances weren't identified as
MMType1 rather than Type1.  (gdevpdff.h, gdevpdff.c, gdevpdft.c, gdevpdfw.c)
	- The test against MaxSubsetPct was incorrect when the percentages
were equal.  (gdevpdfw.c)
	- Font registrations weren't removed when the device was closed.
(gdevpdff.h, gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdff.c, gdevpdfw.c)
	- Multiple /OBJ pdfmarks with the same name caused an error.  For
Distiller compatibility, we now allow this if the type is the same, even
though the pdfmark specification doesn't say anything about this being
legal.  (gdevpdfm.c)

Removes an unnecessary variable.  (gdevpdff.c, gdevpdfr.c)

Disables embedding Multiple Master font instances, since Acrobat Reader
doesn't accept what appear to be correct output and we don't have time
before the release to track down the problem.  (gdevpdft.c)

<h2><a name="6.0_Interpreter_PDF"></a>Interpreter (PDF)</h2>

Factors some code to allow patching the PDF reader to allow garbage after
the %%EOF (or the %%EOF to be missing completely).  (lib/pdf_main.ps)

<h2><a name="6.0_Interpreter"></a>Interpreter</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- Type 1 fonts with non-standard OtherSubrs had stopped working.
(bug introduced since 5.60) (zchar1.c)
	- usecmap didn't work.  (lib/gs_cmap.ps)
	- The glyph_info procedure for Type 1 fonts didn't take Metrics[2]
or CDevProc into account.  (zchar1.c, zfont1.c)
	- The multiple-data-source case of images was broken. (bug
introduced in 5.99) (zimage.c)
	- If a page device Install procedure caused an error, things could
be left in an inconsistent state.  (lib/gs_setpd.ps)
	- Using a DeviceN color space could access uninitialized data in a
color value.  (zcsdevn.c)
	- DeviceN images with procedure data sources were broken.
(zimage.c)
	- Images with a procedure data source could terminate prematurely if
their processing was interrupted.  (zimage.c)
	- The garbage collector only marked half the name table sub-tables,
and attempted to mark an equal number of invalid pointers, leading to
invalid accesses or memory corruption.  (iname.c)

Removes an unused variable.  (zmisc.c)

<h2><a name="6.0_Streams"></a>Streams</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- sgets didn't reset the cursor pointers, so sgets into a client
buffer followed by sseek (for some kinds of streams, including files) could
get confused.  (stream.c)

<h2><a name="6.0_Library"></a>Library</h2>

Fixes problems:
	- A 'const' qualifier was omitted, leading to a type mismatch.
(gxclrast.c)
	- The revision number was sometimes printed incorrectly if its
fraction part was zero.  (gsmisc.c)
	- gs_image_next returned the wrong value in *pused if it incremented
the plane number.  (bug introduced in 5.99) (gsimage.c)
	- Only the last of the data_x and raster values in the local
'planes' array in gs_image_next_planes were initialized.  (bug introduced in
5.99) (gsimage.c)
	- The multiple-data-source case of images was broken. (bug
introduced in 5.99) (gsimage.h, gsimage.c)
	- ImageType 3 images with unequal scaling for the mask and data
didn't work.  (We thought they once did, but it appears they never have.)
(gximage3.c)
	- Images with 12-bit samples treated a Decode entry of [1 0] the
same as [0 1].  (Other, general Decode entries worked correctly.)
(gxipixel.c)
	- ImageType 3 images didn't work if processing was ever interrupted
for remapping a color.  (gximage3.c)
	- Images in DeviceN color spaces with 12-bit samples didn't work.
(gxi12bit.c, gxidata.c)
	- Images in DeviceN color spaces could fail to render properly
because the interruption of rendering left a half-built entry in an internal
cache.  (gxi12bit.c, gxicolor.c)
	- Images with non-idempotent RasterOps in 1-component DeviceN color
spaces didn't render properly, because the same pixel was rendered multiple
times after a color remapping interruption.  (gximono.c)
	- The fast case of masked images caused a crash if invoked without
an imager state.  (gximono.c)
	- Flushing buffered image data could cause coordinate bookkeeping
to get out of sync.  (gxidata.c)
	- ImageType 3, InterleaveType 2 images sometimes failed to render
the last row.  (gximage3.c)
	- The fix in 5.88 for resizing large objects had a bug itself.
(gsalloc.c)
	- Whan banding, if a client supplied more data than necessary for an
image, the client was told (incorrectly) that all of the data was used.
(fix from Artifex) (gxclimag.c)
	- Null patterns caused a crash. (bug probably introduced by changes
to support PatternType 2) (gspcolor.c)
	- On hand-initialized memory devices where line_ptrs[0] != base,
monobit RasterOps could cause invalid or stray memory accesses.  (gdevmr1.c)

Removes an unnecessary variable.  (gdevppla.c, gsfont.c)

Adds the ability to call a specified procedure when unregistering
notification, needed for removing PDF font registrations.  (gsnotify.h,
gsnotify.c)

Updates the copyright year.  (gscdef.c)
