Log message:
ghostscript-agpl: updated to 9.54.0
The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release, and also adds new functionality.
Highlights in this release include:
Overprint simulation is now available to all output devices, allowing quality \
previewing/proofing of PostScript and PDF jobs that rely on overprint. See the \
-dOverprint option documentation in: Overprint
The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output to Microsoft Word \
"docx" format. See: docxwrite
The pdfwrite device is now capable of using the Tesseract OCR engine when it is \
built into Ghostscript to improve searchability and copy and paste functionality \
when the input lacks the metadata for that purpose. See: UseOCR
Ghostscript/GhostPDL now includes a "map text to black" function, \
where text drawn by an input job (except when drawn using a Type 3 font) can be \
forced to draw in solid black. See: BlackText
Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition "internally". \
See: NupControl
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.

Log message:
ghostscript-agpl: updated to 9.53.3
9.53.3:
A crash (or silent, erroneous exit) on 64 bit Windows and other LLP64 type \
environments.
What appears to be a compiler optimiser bug in 64 bit Windows builds with Visual \
Studio 2019
A crash related to management of ICC profile objects
A crash on SPARC hardware due to an alignment mismatch in the bitmap cache
A parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostcript to error out during \
initialisation, which affected 64 big, big endian architectures.
An expected side effect of another change that prevented multithreaded rendering \
and background rendering from working correctly.

Log message:
ghostscript-agpl: Update to 9.53.2
Changelog:
Version 9.53.2 (2020-09-25)
Highlights in this release include:
The 9.53.2 release is primarily maintenance.
Three issues arose with 9.53.0/1 that prompted the release of
a .2 patch:
A crash (or silent, erroneous exit) on 64 bit Windows and
other LLP64 type environments.
A parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostcript to
error out during initialisation, which affected 64 big,
big endian architectures.
An expected side effect of another change that prevented
multithreaded rendering and background rendering from
working correctly.
Details of those can be found in the changelog.
The most obvious change is the (re-)introduction of the patch
level to the version number, this helps facilitate a revised
policy on handling security related issues.
To clarify: in the event we decide to release a patch revision,
it will replace the release with the previous patch number.
Release notes, highlights and warnings will remain the same,
except for the addition of whatever fix(es) prompted the patch.
Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
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).
Due to some patches to the Tesseract sources that are required
(integrated upstream, but awaiting release), time constraints,
and the experimental nature of the feature, we only support
including Tesseract from source, not linking to Tesseract shared
libraries. Whether we add this capability will be largely
dependant on community demand for the feature.
See Enabling OCR for more details.
We have added Python bindings for the gsapi interface, can be
found in demos/python. These are experimental, and we welcome
feedback from interested developers.
For those integrating Ghostscript/GhostPDL via the gsapi
interface, we have added new capabilities to that, specifically
in terms of setting and interrogating device parameters. These,
along with the existing interface calls, are documented in:
Ghostscript Interpreter API
IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of (OpenPrinting)
it is our intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future,
remove the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers (that
is, the opvp and oprp devices).
If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch
with us, so we can discuss your use case, and revise our plans
accordingly.
IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt (the
"mt" indicating "multi-thread"). 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. If there is sufficient interest,
our fork will be available as its own package separately from
Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
incremental improvements.
