Log Message:
ghostscript-agpl: updated to 10.0.0

Version 10.00.0 (2022-08-18)

Highlights in this release include:

The big change in this release is that the old PDF interpreter (written in \ 
PostScript) is now fully deprecated. We will not be making any further changes \ 
to it. For this release, the -dNEWPDF=false option remains for \ 
"emergency" use, but the option to fall back to the old intepreter \ 
will also be removed in the next full release (10.01.0) in spring 2023.

So we once again encourage all users to test the new interpreter in their use \ 
cases, and report any problems.

The new PDF interpreter written in C has had several performance improvements. \ 
It was already quicker for the majority of cases than the PostScript \ 
implementation, but we found further improvements for common cases, and also \ 
several speed improvements in edge cases.
Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
(9.53.0) We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR engine. In \ 
such a build, new devices are available (pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32) which render \ 
the output file to an image, OCR that image, and output the image \ 
"wrapped" up as a PDF file, with the OCR generated text information \ 
included as "invisible" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).

Mainly due to time constraints, we only support including Tesseract from source \ 
included in our release packages, and not linking to Tesseract/Leptonica shared \ 
libraries. Whether we add this capability will be largely dependent on community \ 
demand for the feature.

See Enabling OCR for more details.
