ghostscript-agpl: updated to 9.23
Version 9.23:
Ghostscript now has a family of 'pdfimage' devices (pdfimage8, pdfimage24 and \
pdfimage32) which produce rendered output wrapped up as an image in a PDF. \
Additionally, there is a 'pclm' device which produces PCLm format output.
There is now a ColorAccuracy parameter allowing the user to decide between speed \
or accuracy in ICC color transforms.
JPEG Passthrough: devices which support it can now receive the 'raw' JPEG stream \
from the interpreter. The main use of this is the pdfwrite/ps2write family of \
devices that can now take JPEG streams from the input file(s) and write them \
unchanged to the output (thus avoiding additional quantization effects).
PDF transparency performance improvements
IMPORTANT: We are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, \
and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread \
safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been \
offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between \
Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be \
available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
We have continued the focus on code hygiene in this release cleaning up security \
issues, ignored return values, and compiler warnings.
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
