Version 3.70 patch 1 (6/24/96)


This contains a few last-minute patches before the release.


Procedures


Comments out the color inkjet drivers in the cc-based makefile, because a
bug in Sun's cc prevents them from compiling.  (cc-head.mak)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- The os2prn driver smashed memory.  (gdevos2p.c)
	- Some initialized structures weren't declared 'static'.
(gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfm.c)
	- The PNG driver wouldn't compile with some older versions of the
PNG library.  (gdevpng.c)


Version 3.70 (limited) (6/23/96)


This is the candidate fileset for 4.0.  Aside from one optimization for the
PDF writer, the only changes are bug fixes.


Documentation


Renames all the documentation files from *.doc to *.txt, since the .doc
extension didn't give any information about the format of the file.
(readme, *.doc, *.txt)

Notes that IJG JPEG library v6[a] is now required.  (jpeg.mak)

Brings ps2pdf.1 up to date.  (ps2pdf.1)

Adds a new file describing Aladdin's C coding practices.  (c-style.txt)

Updates the man pages to refer to version 4.0.  (gs.1, pdf2ps.1, ps2ascii.1,
ps2pdf.1)


Procedures


Changes some file names to fit within the MS-DOS 8.3 limit.  (gs.mak)

Adds the PDF writer to the remaining 32-bit configurations (Watcom, OS/2,
MSC).  (watc.mak, watcwin.mak, os2.mak, msc.mak, msvcwint.mak)

Changes the -sFONTMAP= switch so it can take a list of font names, like a
search path.  (use.txt)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- Signed and unsigned values were mixed inconsistently.  (gdevcdj.c)
	- PDF files could contain e-format floating point numbers, which the
PDF specification doesn't allow.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf*.c)
	- The PDF writer didn't handle glyphshow properly.  (gs_pdfwr.ps)
	- The PDF writer did the wrong thing with fonts whose FontMatrix had
a non-zero translation component.  (gs_pdfwr.ps, gdevpdft.c)
	- The stand-alone bounding box device could crash when setting
parameters.  (gdevbbox.c)
	- The mswinpr2 driver smashed memory.  (gdevwpr2.c)

Changes the PDF writer so that if it encounters a re-encoded character, it
tries to map it to an encoded character in the standard (ISO Latin-1)
encoding rather than converting the entire string containing it to a bitmap.
This dramatically improves output file size for files with a few divergently
encoded characters, but it may cause the text in the PDF file to differ from
the text in the PostScript input.  (gdevpdft.c)

Disallows BitsPerPixel=16 in the MS Windows and OS/2 drivers, since this bit
depth is not supported by Windows and would require special extra buffering.
(install.txt, dwtext.h, dwtext.cpp, gdevmswn.c, gdevpm.c, gdevwpr2.c)


Platforms


Fixes bugs:
	- On the PC platforms, file names weren't changed to reflect the
value of CONFIG.  (gs.mak, bc*.mak, ms*.mak, os2.mak, tc*.mak, watc*.mak,
wccommon.mak)

Modifies some makefiles for greater reusability.  (bclib.mak, watclib.mak)


Fonts


Changes the font searching rules in the following NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
way: (gs_fonts.ps, gs_res.ps)
	- -sFONTMAP=files specifies a list of files containing fontmaps;
previously, it specified only a single fontmap file.
	- If -sFONTMAP= is not used, the interpreter reads the Fontmaps from
*all* directories on the search path, and does so even if FONTPATH or
GS_FONTPATH is set; previously, it read only the first Fontmap, and only if
[GS_]FONTPATH was not set.
	- Fontmap(s) take precedence over [GS_]FONTPATH; previously,
[GS_]FONTPATH caused Fontmap to be ignored.  (You can still force Fontmap to
be ignored with -dNOFONTMAP.)
	- Earlier [GS_]FONTPATH entries take precedence over later;
previously, later entries took precedence over earlier.  Note that this is
different from Fontmap: earlier Fontmaps in the search path take precedence
over later, but within a single Fontmap, later entries take precedence over
earlier (for backward compatibility).
	- [GS_]FONTPATH is consulted only if there is no Fontmap entry for a
font, or no Fontmap entry leads to successful loading; previously,
[GS_]FONTPATH was always consulted at startup.
	- If loading a font fails, the interpreter tries the next Fontmap
entry; previously, it fell back to font substitution.


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- Filters didn't peek ahead for an EOD (see Streams below).
(zfileio.c, zpaint.c)

Splits up a file to allow internal access to user and system parameters even
in Level 1.  (zmisc2.c, zusparam.c)

Adds LIBPATH as a predefined name in systemdict.  Its value is an array of
strings comprising the library search path.  (imain.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- A Dests dictionary entry with an array (rather than a dictionary)
value caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)
	- Rotated pages could have incorrect translation and/or clipping.
(pdf_main.ps)


Streams


Fixes bugs:
	- If a buffer boundary fell just before an EOD, and the client read
exactly as much data as was present before the EOD, filters didn't consume
the EOD.  (This is required as a tricky consequence of the Adobe
specification.)  (stream.h, strimpl.h, stream.c)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- An extra column of bits could get turned on at the right edge of
masked or monochrome images.  (gximage2.c)
	- Rasterizing very long curves could cause arithmetic errors or
floating point overflows.  (gxpcopy.c)
	- Banding with large line widths could truncate curves or introduce
spurious lines.  (gxclpath.c)


Version 3.69 (limited) (6/14/96)


More bug fixes, plus one irresistible new feature: the ability to use
TrueType fonts as freely as Type 1 fonts.  Also, one new feature (outside
clipping) that was needed for Aladdin's PCL XL project.  We incremented the
version number because of the change in trapezoid and path filling (see
under Library below).


Documentation


Brings documentation about fonts up to date.  (fonts.doc)

Updates current.doc to reflect changes since 3.53.  (current.doc)

Updates the DLL documentation to reflect recent changes.  (dll.doc)

Documents a workaround for the code generation bug in gcc 2.7.x.  (make.doc)

Changes the contact information for potential commercial customers in
Europe.  (new-user.doc)

Updates the OS/2 documentation to make it current.  (install.doc, make.doc)

Documents -dCOLORSCREEN=0.  (use.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- 'make clean' didn't work in the Watcom environment.
(wmakebat.bat, gs.mak, msc.mak, msvcwint.mak, os2.mak, tccommon.mak,
unixhead.mak, wccommon.mak)
	- The X11 libraries were listed in an incorrect order.
(ansihead.mak, cc-head.mak, gcc-head.mak, ugcclib.mak, unix-end.mak)
	- The OS/2 makefile didn't ignore errors from `erase' commands.
(os2.mak)

Adds the PDF writer to the 32-bit MS Windows configuration.  (bcwin32.mak)

Adds the PNG drivers to the 32-bit MS Windows platform, since they now
compile properly.  (bcwin32.mak)

Changes the ttfont feature so that it refers to support for direct usage of
TrueType fonts; puts support for Type 42 fonts into a separate feature
(type42).  (gs.mak, int.mak)

Adds direct TrueType font support to the Windows platforms.  (bcwin.mak,
bcwin32.mak)

Rewrites vms.mak to be structured more like the other makefiles.  (vms.mak,
modules.lis)

Makes the device lists in vms-*.mak the same as those for the Unix
configurations.  (vms-cc.mak, vms-decc.mak, vms-gcc.mak)

Changes the default X library directory for gcc to /usr/X11/lib.
(gcc-head.mak)

Adds the list of devices to --help, since HylaFax depends on this.
(imainarg.c)

Adds -dCOLORSCREEN=0 to indicate use of 4 separate color screens with the
same frequency and angle.  (gs_init.ps)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- When ps2epsi encountered a blank page, it called the
(undocumented) .quit operator with only one argument, causing a stack
underflow.  (ps2epsi.ps)
	- An extraneous file was included in the fileset.  (checkacc.ps)
	- A file was omitted from the fileset.  (bench.c)
	- Images in PostScript files produced by pdf2ps were processed about
50 times slower than they should have been.  (gs_pdf.ps)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- An #include was omitted.  (gdevpdfi.c)
	- The BJC driver could get into an inconsistent state.  (gdevcdj.c)
	- Braces were omitted around the values for two initialized byte
arrays.  (gdevpcx.c)
	- A function used 'float' in its argument list, causing problems in
mixed ANSI/non-ANSI compilation.  (gdevcdj.c)
	- signed and unsigned char pointers were used inconsistently.
(gdevcdj.c, gdevcgml.c)
	- Some header files weren't protected against double inclusion.
(gdevprn.h, gdevtifs.h)
	- The 24-bit PNG driver included unnecessary copies of the color
mapping procedures.  (gdevpng.c)

Fixes bugs in the PDF writer:
	- The PDF writer sometimes produced a double // in front of a filter
name.  (gdevpdfi.c)
	- The PDF writer produced zero-width, zero-height images for
non-standard fonts.  (bug introduced since 3.68) (gdevpdfi.c)
	- The PDF writer got confused if the input file invoked
setpagedevice.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- The PDF writer put annotations on the page after the one they were
supposed to be on.  (gdevpdf.c)
	- The PDF writer sometimes failed to set the font when needed.
(gdevpdf.c)
	- The PDF writer could produce in-line images that were too large.
(gdevpdfi.c)
	- The PDF writer didn't scale explicit character and word spacing
(ashow/widthshow/awidthshow) properly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- The PDF writer didn't copy named destination or article title
strings, possibly leading to dangling pointers.  (gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfm.c)
	- The PDF writer produced incorrect output for re-encoded fonts.
(It now converts any string containing characters in non-standard positions
to bitmaps; this will be fixed in a later release.)  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdfp.c, gdevpdft.c)

Updates a few drivers for the change in the handling of band device
procedures.  (gdevcp50.c, gdevdjet.c)

Updates the X Windows driver for strip halftones.  (gdevx.c)

Adds anti-aliasing capability to the os2pm device.  (gdevpm.c)

Increases the sizes of some tables in the PDF writer.  (gdevpdfx.h)


Platforms


Fixes bugs:
	- A patch for the MS Windows platform was accidentally omitted.
(gp_mswin.c)
	- A block of code was accidentally duplicated.  (dwmain.cpp)
	- An identifier exceeded VAX VMS C's limit of 31 characters.
(gscspace.h)
	- File name enumeration didn't work properly on Unix systems
(still/again).  (gp_unifs.c)
	- On MS Windows, If you closed Ghostscript with the system menu, you
only closed the text window; Ghostscript kept running and you had to use the
task manager to kill it.  (dwmain.cpp, dwmainc.cpp, dwtext.cpp)
	- Some DLL-related typedefs were not consistent.  (dwdll.h, gsdll.h,
dpmainc.c, dwdll.cpp)
	- Attempts to call the DLL before it was initialized were not
detected.  (gsdll.c)
	- Bitmap line lengths were rounded up even on 32-bit Windows, which
doesn't want this.  (gdevwdib.c)

Further improves the handling of attempts to use the DLL when it is already
in use.  (dwdll.cpp, gsdll.c)

Adds a DLL-compatible main program for OS/2.  (dpmainc.c, gp_os2.c, gsdll.c)


Fonts


Fixes bugs:
	- The WingDings TrueType font wasn't loaded properly.  (gs_ttf.ps)

Makes changes so that TrueType fonts can appear in the Fontmap and can be
loaded directly.  (gs_fonts.ps, gs_ttf.ps)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- Executing a .quit with only 1 element on the operand stack caused
an invalid access.  (zcontrol.c)
	- The usage help message contained incorrect double %%s.
(imainarg.c)
	- If an initialization file tried to use any Encodings other than
the 4 registered ones, it couldn't find them.  (gs_init.ps, gs_res.ps)
	- Places that expected arrays of coordinates (rectangles,
x/y/xyshow) didn't accept packed arrays.  (ibnum.c, zdps1.c)
	- filterdict was still visible after initialization.  (gs_init.ps)
	- The usage error message wasn't terminated by a newline.
(imainarg.c)
	- setcacheparams (or setting the MaxFontCache user parameter) didn't
actually affect the size of the character cache.  (zfont.c, zmisc2.c)
	- The main interpreter loop declared iref as a ref *, even though it
may only be a ref_packed *.  (iref.h, interp.c)

Changes the character cache so it ignores absurd FontBBox values.  Nothing
in the Adobe spec suggests doing this, but it is necessary for handling
questionable output produced by PageMaker 5.0 (an Adobe product!).
(zchar1.c)

Changes some type declarations slightly to reduce the number of 'discarding
const' compiler warnings.  (igc.h, igc.c, igcref.c)

Adds .setclipoutside and .currentclipoutside operators for accessing the new
outside clipping capability.  (zpath.c)

Adds the dictionary stack to the information printed in case of a fatal
problem.  (imain.c)

Adds .set/currentrenderalgorithm operators for testing.  (zrop.c)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- The TrueType rasterizer didn't map quadratic to cubic splines
well, and didn't handle off-curve points at the end of a contour properly.
(gstype42.c)
	- An #include was omitted.  (gsimage.c, gxclimag.c)
	- Some compilers complained about statements with no effect, or
comma operators with no effect on the left.  (gschar.c, gxcpath.c, gxfill.c)
	- TrueType or Type 42 glyphs with a repeat count that crossed a
contour boundary produced incorrect output.  (gstype42.c)
	- TrueType / Type 42 composite glyphs involving rotation were placed
incorrectly.  (gstype42.c)
	- Type 42 fonts with an absent or incorrect FontBBox could fail to
produce output.  (gstype42.c)
	- Some header files weren't protected against double inclusion.
(gsio.h, gdebug.h)
	- Decoding filters didn't "look ahead" to detect EOD, so if the last
read operation before closing the filter ended just before the EOD mark, the
EOD mark might not be absorbed.  (stream.h, stream.c)
	- Filling paths consisting of multiple subpaths that overlap in Y
produced slightly inaccurate output.  We were unable to find a way to fix
this without making a NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change in the interface for
the recently introduced fill_trapezoid device procedure.  (gxdevice.h,
gdevbbox.c, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gxfill.c)
	- When banding, get_bits didn't detect calls with out-of-range Y
values.  (gxclread.c)
	- setcacheparams didn't actually affect the size of the character
cache.  (gsfont.h, gxbcache.h, gxfcache.h, gschar.c, gsfont.c, gxbcache.c,
gxccman.c, gxclbits.c)
	- When banding, colored halftones could be mangled.  (gxclread.c)

Fixes bugs in the bounding box device:
	- The bounding box device could give bizarre results if any objects
crossed the lower edge of the page.  (gdevbbox.c)
	- The bounding box device could get a memory access error when
processing image data.  (gdebbox.c)
	- The bounding box device ran the default drawing algorithms even if
it had no target (performance bug only).  (gdevbbox.c)
	- The bounding box device computed an incorrect (too small) box for
partially clipped bitmap images.  (gdevbbox.c)
	- The bounding box device got confused by files that filled the
entire page with a background color.  (gdevbbox.c)
	- The bounding box device produced infinite-height boxes for certain
kinds of data.  (gdevbbox.c)

Changes some type declarations slightly to reduce the number of 'discarding
const' compiler warnings.  (gsmemory.h, gsstruct.h)

Adds the capability of clipping to the outside rather than the inside of the
clipping path.  This is required for emulating an obscure feature of the
Microsoft Windows GDI.  (gspath.h, gxclpath.h, gxpath.h, gxcpath.h,
gzcpath.h, gspath.c, gxacpath.c, gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c.)

Makes it possible for band devices to select the underlying memory device
used to accumulate the actual bits.  This is required for (at least) PCL5
emulation.  This requires adding a procedure to the gx_device_printer
structure, which, for devices that initialize the structure without using
the macros in gdevprn.h or access the printer-specific procedures directly,
is a NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change.  (gdevprn.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h,
gdevdflt.c, gdevprn.c, gxclread.c)

Speeds up handling of rotated or halftoned masked images.  (gximage2.c)

Adds an output_page procedure to the bounding box device, for testing.
(gdevbbox.c)

Adds a sample device that keeps track of the "render algorithm", for PCL5c
emulation.  (gdevrrgb.c)


Version 3.68 patch 4 (5/23/96)


More minor bug fixes, mostly related to the MS Windows implementation.


Documentation


Further updates various doc files to make them more useful to new users.
(NEWS, README, current.doc, helpers.doc, new-user.doc)

Adds user-contributed documentation for ps2pdf.  (ps2pdf.doc, unix-end.mak)

Documents a bug in the Borland C++ 4.52 compiler, and where to find the
patch for it.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- A command line exceeded the MS-DOS 120 character limit.
(devs.mak)

A file was accidentally omitted from the fileset.  (wmakebat.bat)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- Many of the 'show' operators didn't work properly if the PDF
writer was included in the configuration.  (gs_pdfwr.ps)
	- x_wrap_get_bits was ridiculously slow.  (It still is, but not
quite as ridiculously.)  (gxcindex.h, gdevxalt.c)
	- The PDF writer generated CR instead of CalRGB, which is legal per
the Adobe spec but not compatible with some Adobe Acrobat products.
(gdevpdfi.c)
	- Some signed/unsigned discrepancies caused compilation warnings.
(gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdfp.c, gdevpdft.c)

Fixes bugs in the Windows driver:
	- An accidentally opened tiny window didn't get closed.
(gdevwdib.c)
	- The name DllInit was misleading, and this procedure wasn't being
called whtn the DLL was loaded, so the DLL couldn't know the instance
handle.  (gp_mswin.c)
	- The code didn't recognize Win32s (vs. Windows 95) correctly.
(dwmain.cpp, gdevwdib.c, gp_mswin.h, gp_mswin.c, gsdll16.rc)
	- Some compiler warnings needed fixing.  (gdevwdib.c)
	- gsdll16.def and gsdll32.def were different.  (gsdll32.def)
	- A GPF leaving the 16-bit DLL loaded could make the DLL permanently
unusable.  (dwmain.cpp)
	- Two obsolete files were still included in the fileset.
(gswin.def, gswin32.def)

Adds a compile-time option to the 'bit' drivers to expand 4-bit pixels to
32-bit.  This was required for tracking down customer problems, because the
only tools we have available for displaying CMYK images require 32 bits per
pixel.  (gdevbit.c)


Platforms


Fixes bugs:
	- In DEC C, <time.h> does define the timeval struct.  (time_.h)

Changes gsdll_init() to take an additional argument, a window handle.  This
is a NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change.  (dll.doc, dwdll.h, gsdll.h, dwdll.cpp,
dwmain.cpp, dwmainc.cpp, gsdll.c)


Fonts


Updates more Fontmaps to include the new URW++ fonts.  (Fontmap.OS2,
Fontmap.ATM)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- The default operator array table wasn't big enough.  (iinit.c)
	- Some signed/unsigned discrepancies caused compilation warnings.
(imain.c, imainarg.c, zfile.c)

Adds encoding vectors for Windows 3.1 Latin 1, Latin 2, and Latin 5
encodings.  None of these are loaded in the standard configuration.
(gs_wl{1,2,5}_e.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- Some tracing output was incorrect or missing.  (gxdither.c)
	- Resized objects in the C heap had incorrect bookkeeping
information (bug introduced in 3.68).  (gsmemory.c)
	- Image pixels that fell exactly on device half-pixel boundaries
could get discarded.  (gximage0.c)
	- The bounding box device didn't set a variable properly and didn't
implement end_image, leading to invalid memory accesses.  (gdevbbox.c)
	- Fonts with BuildChar routines written in C didn't work properly
with kshow or xyshow.  (gschar.c)

Adds some additional tracing output for Patterns.  (gxpcmap.c)

Adds tracing output for freeing malloc'ed blocks at the end of execution.
(gsmemory.c)

Adds a gs_dashpath procedure that expands dashes in the same way that
gs_flattenpath expands curves.  (gspath.h, gspath1.c)


Version 3.68 patch 3 (5/17/96)


More bug fixes during the beta test period.  AccurateScreens now works
properly.


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The help message was too long to fit on a PC screen or standard
terminal.  (imainarg.c)
	- Failure to run tar_cat wasn't detected.  (unix-end.mak,
unixtail.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- In the PostScript files produced by pdf2ps, images using ASCII85
encoding would cause a typecheck error.  (gs_pdf.ps)
	- pdf2ps wrote out strings longer than 200 characters incorrectly.
(pdf_2ps.ps)


Drivers


Fixes bugs in gdevcdj.c (according to the author, we have no way to test
this):
	- The driver used to use Colors as well as ProcessColorModel to
define the process color model.  (devices.doc, gdevbjc.h, gdevcdj.c)
	- Incorrect or inconsistent settings of BitsPerPixel and
ProcessColorModel, or setting one but not the other, could leave the driver
in an inconsistent state.  (gdevcdj.c)

Fixes bugs in the MS Windows driver:
	- Insufficient memory for the backing bitmap could cause a GPF.
(gdevmswn.c, gdevwdib.c)
	- Invalid parameters could cause a crash within the DLL code.
(gdevwdib.c)

Adds a user-contributed driver for the CalComp Raster Format.  (devs.mak,
gdevccr.c)

Adds an anti-aliasing option for MS Windows.  (gdevmswn.c, gdevwdib.c)


Platforms


Fixes bugs in the Windows platform:
	- One had to type "quit" twice to exit.  (dwdll.h, dwdll.cpp)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- Platform fonts didn't work properly if the document's primary
encoding was the standard MS Windows encoding.  (ifont.h, gs_wan_e.ps)
	- stringwidth with a Type 1 font could give a spurious typecheck
error (bug introduced in 3.65).  (zcharout.c)
	- If a DOS editor added a ^Z to the end of the Fontmap file, an
error occurred during initialization.  (gs_fonts.ps)
	- Halftones that didn't specify a value for AccurateScreens
sometimes ignored the setting of the AccurateScreens user parameter.
(zht2.c)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- gs_join_none was defined, but not implemented.  (gxstroke.c)
	- A bookkeeping list for fonts could get confused, causing invalid
memory accesses.  (gsfont.c)
	- An I/O error or internal error would cause the band list
rasterizer to go into an infinite loop.  (gxclread.c)
	- The algorithm for choosing screen angles and frequencies produced
poor results.  (gshtscr.c)
	- Color screens were broken (bug introduced in 3.68).  (gxdht.h,
gzht.h, gsht.c, gshtscr.c)


Version 3.68 patch 2 (5/13/96)


This is another set of patches for the next general release.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- Windows NT and Windows 95 implementations were identified as
"under development" rather than available.  (README)
	- There were several other minor errors in the README file.
(README)
	- The claimed current IJG JPEG version was incorrect.  (jpeg.mak)

Splits off information for new users into a separate file.  (README,
new-user.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- gettimeofday takes 2 arguments on SVR4 systems more recent than
SVR4.0.  (make.doc, ansihead.mak, cc-head.mak, gcc-head.mak, time_.h)

Changes the default Unix data installation directory from /usr/local/lib to
/usr/local/share, which seems to be favored by more recent Unix systems
(except for some Linux versions, which still use /usr/local/lib, and BSD/OS,
which puts Ghostscript in /usr/contrib/lib.)  (ansihead.mak, cc-head.mak,
gcc-head.mak, ugcclib.mak)

Changes the unset commands in the Unix script to assignments, because a few
older Unix shells don't provide unset.  (unixtail.mak)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- An #include incorrectly referred directly to a system header.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- CMYK devices took an excessive amount of time clearing the page to
white.  (gdevm32.c)

Adds a compile-time option to the 'bit' drivers to remove top and bottom
whitespace.  This change was required in order to track down a customer bug.
(gdevbit.c)


Interpreter


Updates the interpreter for the split in the gstate API.  (igstate.h)


Streams


Fixes bugs:
	- Some compilers don't define NULL widely enough.  (spngp.c)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There was a minor typo (& for &&) that didn't affect execution.
(gxccman.c)
	- There was a trailing comma in an enumeration.  (gsiparam.h)
	- Internal and public interfaces weren't separated properly.  THIS
IS A NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE CHANGE for clients using certain undocumented
interfaces to the graphics state.  (gsstate.h, gxstate.h, gzstate.h,
gsstate.c)
	- A 'private' declaration was missing (yet again).  (gxclimag.c)


Version 3.68 patch 1 (5/10/96)


This is the first bug fix (patch) incremental release for the next general
release.


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- Many Windows-specific files were omitted from the previous
fileset: dw*.rc, dw*.cpp.


Version 3.68 (limited) (5/9/96)


This release cleans up the new Windows files, mostly implements the
high-level driver API for bitmap images, and adds practical strip
(AccurateScreens) halftoning.  This is the first "serious beta" fileset for
the next general release.  It still has more problems than I would have
liked.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The names of the executable files for MS Windows were out of date.
(make.doc)
	- gxcindex.h still referred to "drawing color".  (gxcindex.h)
	- The name of the default font directory for Unix systems was
incorrect.  (make.doc)

Moves the list of files required for installation, and some other
installation instructions, from make.doc to install.doc.  (install.doc,
make.doc)

Adds a description of the PNGPredictor filters.  (language.doc)

Updates the documentation of the higher-level driver procedures to match the
specification changes.  (drivers.doc)

Documents the change in the Watcom build procedure.  (make.doc)

Improves the documentation of bitmap IDs.  (gxbitmap.h)

Adds documentation for the new strip_tile_rectangle and strip_copy_rop
driver procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Changes the few remaining direct FTP addresses in README to URLs.  (README)

Notes that zlib does not compile correctly on IRIX 6.n with optimization.
(make.doc)

Adds references to PDF and TrueType fonts to language.doc.  (language.doc)

Updates fonts.doc to remove references to fonts.mak.  (fonts.doc)

Describes how to substitute an LZW compressor for the LZW-compatible
compressor provided in the standard release.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- Some lines had exceeded the 120-character limit of the
MS-DOS shell.  (int.mak)
	- The configuration files weren't generated correctly when CONFIG
wasn't an empty string.  (unixhead.mak)

Factors out shared DLL makefile rules into a new file.  (bcwin.mak,
bcwin32.mak, dwcommon.mak)

Makes the cp and rm commands into makefile parameters, allowing automatic
generation of build scripts even in the MS-DOS and MS Windows environments
where the shell requires the CALL command for sub-scripts.  (*.mak,
genconf.c)

Adds the PDF writer to the default Unix configurations.  (ansihead.mak,
cc-head.mak, gcc-head.mak)

Adds TrueType support to all Level 2 configurations.  (int.mak)

Removes fonts.mak, which is no longer relevant.  (fonts.mak)

Brings the font compilation procedures up to date.  (cfonts.mak, int.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- There was an extra 'show' in one file.  (align.ps)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- The bit devices were missing the map_color_rgb procedure.
(gdevbit.c)
	- The MS Windows driver sent a redundant message. (gdevmswn.c)

Adds a device that keeps track of the page bounding box.  This device is not
included in any standard configuration.  (drivers.doc, gdevbbox.h,
gsmatrix.h, gsstruct.h, gxdevice.h, gdevbbox.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsmatrix.c)

Updates the PDF writer to track the changes in the high-level driver API,
and to write out images in a reasonable way.  NOTE: the current
implementation doesn't write out CIE color space parameters, so CIE-color
images won't be colored accurately.  (gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfi.c)

Adds a forwarding procedure for tile_rectangle.  (gxdevice.h, gdevnfwd.c)

Changes the copyright notices on the PDF writer to be the same as on the
rest of Ghostscript.  (gdevpdf*.[ch])

Updates Gunther Hess's Epson Stylus Color driver from 1.21 to 1.90.  (Aladdin
Enterprises takes no responsibility for this driver: if you have questions,
contact the author.)  (devices.doc, devs.mak, gdevstc*.c, gdevstc.h)


Platforms


Removes some obsolete MS Windows files and #defines.  (gp_mswtx.h,
gp_mswtx.c, gp_mswin.h)

Works around a memory limitation in the Watcom make utility.  (wmakebat.bat)


Fonts


Changes the standard Fontmap from using the low-quality fonts converted from
bitmaps to using high-quality fonts recently contributed by URW++.
(Fontmap, Fontmap.GS)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- A macro containing an if-else, and a macro generating a compound
statement, could cause incorrect grouping of 'if' statements.  (files.h,
ostack.h)
	- .setrasterop didn't pop its operand.  (zrop.c)
	- A rounding inaccuracy could cause bounding box rangecheck errors.
(gsdps1.c)
	- CIE-based images in PDF files didn't work.  (gs_pdf.ps)
	- The page parameter .MediaSize didn't get updated when PageSize was
set.  (This is just the most recent manifestation of the setpagedevice
morass.)  (gs_setpd.ps)
	- %lineedit and %statementedit were limited to 160 characters.
(zfileio.c, ziodev.c)
	- Compiled initialization files didn't work properly.  (geninit.c,
gs_l2img.ps)
	- Attempting to parse a command line with argc = 0 caused a crash.
(imainarg.c)

Renames some files to allow separating the non-DLL 'main' procedure into a
separate file, and to make the file naming more consistent:
	gs.c (except for 'main') => imainarg.c
	gsmain.c => imain.c
gs.c now consists only of 'main'.  The name gs.c is still inconsistent (it
should be i- something), but at least it's consistent with the name of the
executable.  (*.mak, imain.h, iminst.h, imainarg.h, gs.c, gsmain.c, imain.c,
imainarg.c)

Adds PNGPredictorEncode/Decode filters, and increases the size of filterdict
slightly to make room for them.  (iinit.c, zfpngp.c)

Makes zwrite external, per a customer request.  (opextern.h, zfileio.c)

Updates clients to work with the new API-based bitmap imaging calls.
(iimage.h, zcolor1.c, zimage2.c, zpaint.c)

Updates clients for the split in gscspace.h.  (zcie.c, zcolor1.c, zcolor2.c,
zcsindex.c, zcssepr.c, zimage2.c, zpaint.c, zpcolor.c)

Updates clients for strip-based halftones.  (zpcolor.c)

Updates the initialization code to pass the correct (system) allocator to
the library initialization.  (imain.c)


Streams


Fixes bugs:
	- If a filter reached EOD exactly at the end of reading data for
certain operations, it didn't get closed automatically.  (stream.c)
	- The LZW-compatible encoding filter reset procedure had an
incorrect return type.  (slzwce.c)

Changes the ASCIIHexEncode filter to insert \ns in fewer places, to be
somewhat more compatible with the Adobe implementation.  (sstring.c)

Adds PNGPredictorEncode/Decode filters that implement the pixel prediction
algorithms in the PNG specification.  (We'd like to use the code in the PNG
library, but it's too deeply embedded in the rest of the PNG machinery, and
it also doesn't provide for suspendable I/O.)  (spngpx.h, spngp.c)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- A test for pure color was backwards, causing garbage output or
possible address or floating point exceptions.  (gxclpath.c)
	- A macro containing an if-else could cause incorrect grouping of
'if' statements.  (gsrefct.h)
	- The default implementation of RasterOp didn't handle the device
depth correctly.  (gdevmrop.c)
	- The memory device implementation of RasterOp truncated 24-bit
constant source or texture values to 8 bits.  (gdevmrop.c)
	- A typo caused the garbage collector to miss an internal buffer
used when rendering images.  (gximage.h)
	- gs_debug_out was only defined if DEBUG was set.  (gdebug.h)
	- The raster of horizontally replicated tiles was incorrect.
(gxht.c)
	- A data type might not be declared, causing a compilation error.
(gscoord.h)
	- Empty TrueType glyphs weren't handled properly.  (gstype42.c)
	- Fonts with a build procedure written in C could cause an invalid
memory access.  (gschar.c)
	- The initial point of a band list path sometimes didn't get
written, causing excess or missing filled regions.  (gxclpath.c)
	- Characters between 49 and 56 bits wide were rendered incorrectly
when banding.  (gxclbits.c)

Renames gsimage*.c as gximage*.c, to reflect more accurately the position of
these files in the architecture.  (gsimage*.c, gximage*.c)

Fully implements the high-level bitmap image calls in the driver API.  This
includes some driver API changes; however, this part of the API was clearly
documented as not stable enough to rely on.  (gxdevice.h, gximage.h,
gdevbbox.c, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c, gximage*.c)

Splits the color space header into client and implementation, as with many
others.  (gscspace.h, gxcspace.h, gximage.h, gscie.c, gscolor.c, gscolor1.c,
gscolor2.c, gscsepr.c, gsimage.c, gspcolor.c, gsstate.c, gxcmap.c,
gxpcmap.c)

Extends band lists to handle high-level images.  NOTE: This facility is
patched out because there is not yet a way to pass the necessary color
rendering information through the band list.  (gxcldev.h, gxclist.h,
gxclpath.h, gxclimag.c, gxclist.c, gxclpath.c, gxclread.c)

Implements fixed2float and float2fixed more efficiently on machines with
slow floating point.  (gxfixed.h, gscoord.c, gsmisc.c)

Makes one further NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change in the existing
higher-level driver procedures (fill_path, stroke_path, fill_mask): we make
the imager state pointer an explicit argument, rather than a member of the
gx_fill/stroke_params structure.  We now consider the specification of these
procedures stable, and have removed the "subject to change" notice from the
documentation.  (gxdevice.h, gxpaint.h, gdevbbox.c, gdevnfwd.c, gxacpath.c,
gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxfill.c, gxpaint.c, gxstroke.c)

Extends halftone bitmaps to include "strip" and "shift" information,
allowing halftone cells with arbitrary angles to be stored in space
proportional to the number of bits in the cell rather than the square of the
number of bits.  This requires adding new (optional) strip_tile_rectangle
and strip_copy_rop driver procedures that are like tile_rectangle and
copy_rop respectively but accept a strip bitmap rather than an ordinary
tile; these procedures supersede tile_rectangle and copy_rop (although these
also remain, defined in terms of the new ones).  This also requires making
small but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,
gxhttile.h, gxpcolor.h, gzht.h; gdevabuf.c, gdevbbox.c, gdevdflt.c,
gdevm*.c, gdevmpla.c, gdevmrop.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsht.c, gsht1.c, gshtscr.c,
gspcolor.c, gsstate.c, gxcht.c, gxclbits.c, gxclip2.c, gxclist.c,
gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.

Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,
gxhttile.h, gxpcolor.h, gzht.h; gdevabuf.c, gdevbbox.c, gdevdflt.c,
gdevm*.c, gdevmpla.c, gdevmrop.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsht.c, gsht1.c, gshtscr.c,

gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,

Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)

specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.

gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.

gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,

release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds documentation for the new begin_image, image_data, and end_image
procedures.  THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  (drivers.doc)


Procedures


Renames all the *core.dev modules as *lib.dev.  (int.mak, *lib.mak, vms.mak,
gdevmrop.c)

Updates all the remaining makefiles to IJG JPEG version 6a.  (*.mak)

Moves the configuration parameter definitions from gconf.c to a new file
gscdefs.c.  (bcwin*.mak, *lib.mak, gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak, unixtail.mak,
vms.mak, gconf.c, gscdefs.c)


Platforms


Restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL- rather than
EXE-based.  This involves two minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes to the DLL
interface, documented near the end of dll.doc:

	- Adding argv and argc as arguments to gsdll_init.

	- Adding a new message type, GSDLL_POLL, to the callback procedure.

(bcwin*.mak, devs.mak, os2.mak, dll.doc, install.doc, dw*.*, gsdll*.*,
gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,
gxhttile.h, gxpcolor.h, gzht.h; gdevabuf.c, gdevbbox.c, gdevdflt.c,
gdevm*.c, gdevmpla.c, gdevmrop.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsht.c, gsht1.c, gshtscr.c,
gspcolor.c, gsstate.c, gxcht.c, gxclbits.c, gxclip2.c, gxclist.c,
gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)

gdevms*.*, gdevpm.c, gdevw*.c, gp_mswin.c, gp_os2.c, gsos2.def, gswin.rc)

Adds the BMP drivers to the Watcom platform.  (watc.mak)


Interpreter


Fixes bugs:
	- gs.c assumed the presence of stdio.  (gs.c)

Defines a new API entry point that is the equivalent of command line
invocation.  (imain.h, imainarg.h, gs.c)

Changes clients to conform to the changes in gsimage.h.  (zimage2.c,
zpaint.c)

Speeds up the search operator slightly.  (zstring.c)


Interpreter (PDF)


Fixes bugs:
	- If the PDF interpreter was present, running a PostScript file
didn't close the file properly if it caused an error.  (pdf_main.ps)

Speeds up embedded font loading by making an internal buffer bigger.
(pdf_font.ps)


Library


Fixes bugs:
	- There could be some non-zero garbage between the width and the
next multiple of bitmap_align_mod for copy_alpha.  (The driver API
specification explicitly allows this, but it upset one customer.)
(gxccman.c)
	- Nibble-swapped alpha values could be displaced in memory by one
pixel, damaging the output.  (gdevabuf.c)

Makes further changes towards adding high-level bitmap image calls to the
driver API.  This includes the following minor NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE
changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,

gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)

changes to the interface defined in gsimage.h:

	- changing MultipleDataSources from a member of the gs_image_t
	structure to an argument of gs_image_init;

	- changing the default image parameter values from constant
	structures to procedures that initialize the structure.

As far as we know, this doesn't affect any existing client code.
(gsimage.h, gsiparam.h, gxdevice.h, gdevddrw.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsimage.c,
gspcolor.c, gxccache.c)

Removes an unnecessary level of call for path filling.  (gxpaint.h,
gxfill.c, gxpaint.c)


Version 3.66 (limited) (4/8/96)


This release adds support for TrueType fonts and Type 42 (encapsulated
TrueType) PostScript fonts.  The MS Windows driver now interacts properly
with the garbage collector.  This release also includes a new, high-quality
set of free fonts.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- The list of generic makefiles had gotten out of date.  (make.doc)

Adds a mention of the bmv program, created by a user and available under the
GPL.  (README)

Notes that a bug in gcc 2.7.x prevents these versions from compiling
Ghostscript.  (make.doc)

Clarifies the meaning of "inverted" masks.  (gsimage.h)

Improves the documentation of the stack sizing parameters.  (interp.c)

Improves the documentation of the copy_rop driver procedure.
(drivers.doc)

Notes that all subclasses of gx_device must explicitly include the
device_finalize finalization procedure.  (gxdevice.h)

Updates the documentation of the high-level driver API to reflect the change
in gx_drawing_color, and the addition of the new polygon and image drawing
procedures.  (drivers.doc)

Updates the documentation for building zlib and libpng.  (make.doc)


Procedures


Fixes bugs:
	- The environment space overflowed on some inferior Unix systems.
(unixtail.mak)

Adds a ttfont.dev "feature" for including the TrueType interpreter and the
ability to handle Type 42 fonts.  A new procedure, .loadttfont, allows
loading a TrueType font directly (by converting it to a Type 42 on the fly).
(gs.mak, int.mak, lib.mak)

Updates the makefiles and procedures to libpng 0.88 and zlib 1.0.
(libpng.mak, zlib.mak)


Utilities


Fixes bugs:
	- pdf2ps could produce lines longer than 255 characters.
(pdf_2ps.ps)

Removes some unnecessary and error-inviting code from pdf2dsc.  (pdf2dsc.ps)

Updates lines.ps to test the new stroke code more fully.  (lines.ps)

Allows omitting the second argument of ps2pdf, as for ps2epsi.  (ps2pdf)


Drivers


Fixes bugs:
	- A routine was incorrectly declared "private".  (I wish gcc caught
this!)  (gdevpdf.c)
	- A 'const' was omitted in a parameter list.  (gdevpdfp.c)
	- Some imported procedures didn't have prototypes declared.
(gdevpdft.c)
	- The ProcSet list for PDF files didn't include Text when it was
needed.  (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output ignored the color setting.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)
	- Text in PDF output could be positioned incorrectly.  (gdevpdft.c)
	- pdfmarks could produce an error when producing PDF output.
(gs_pdfwr.ps)

Slightly improves the text output of the PDF writer.  (gs_pdfwr.ps,
gdevpdft.c)

Defines driver procedures for filling trapezoids (with the parallel edges
parallel to a coordinate axis), parallelograms (with arbitrary orientation),
triangles (ditto), and minimum-width lines (ditto).  (Note that the last of
these obsoletes the former draw_line procedure.)  (gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h,
gxdevice.h, gxdraw.h (deleted), gdevddrw.c, gdevdflt.c, gdevht.c,
gdevnfwd.c, gsimage[12345].c, gxacpath.c, gxclist.c, gxclip2.c, gxcpath.c,
gxdraw.c (deleted), gxfill.c, gxpcmap.c, gxstroke.c)

Adds "sketched" driver procedures for high-level bitmap / pixmap image
drawing.  In this release, the argument lists are incomplete, and the
procedures are stubs: don't try to use them!  [see previous entry]

Changes the screen update strategy for the X Windows driver from a
compile-time option to a settable run-time variable.  (gdevx.c)

Patches around a problem with libpng 0.88 that cmall but NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE changes in several internal interfaces.
(gdevmem.h, gdevprn.h, gsdcolor.h, gxbcache.h, gxbitmap.h, gxcldev.h,
gxclip2.h, gxclist.h, gxdevice.h, gxdevrop.h, gxdht.h, gxfcache.h,
gxhttile.h, gxpcolor.h, gzht.h; gdevabuf.c, gdevbbox.c, gdevdflt.c,
gdevm*.c, gdevmpla.c, gdevmrop.c, gdevnfwd.c, gsht.c, gsht1.c, gshtscr.c,
gspcolor.c, gsstate.c, gxcht.c, gxclbits.c, gxclip2.c, gxclist.c,
gxclpath.c, gxclread.c, gxcpath.c, gxdcolor.c, gxdither.c, gxht.c,
gximage2.c, gxpcmap.c, ...)

Adds "no join" as a line join type.  NOTE: this is not actually implemented
yet.  (gslparam.h)

Changes the initialization code so that it passes the system allocator as an
argument to module initialization procedures.  While this is theoretically a
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change, module initialization procedures are not
documented and presumably are not used by any code outside the
implementation.  (gscdefs.h, gconf.c, gdevmrop.c, gsinit.c, gxclimag.c,
gxclpath.c)

Splits up gs_lib_init into two procedures, allowing specification of a
different default allocator for the library.  (gslib.h, gsinit.c)

Adds a resize_object operation to the allocator API.  (gsmemory.h,
gsalloc.c, gsmemory.c)


Version 3.67 (limited) (4/12/96)


This release restructures the MS Windows and OS/2 code to be primarily DLL-
rather than EXE-based.  See under Platforms below for more news.  This
release was put out in a hurry in order to get the new DLL code into
testers' hands; it has more rough edges than usual.


Documentation


Fixes bugs:
	- A definition & use comment was incorrect.  (scanchar.h)
	- William Bader's e-mail address was wrong.  (README)

Adds document
