Hi, People at Artifex (who ship ghostscript and mupdf) have concerns with lcms2 not being thread safe. So they have forked it: https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/lcms2mt/doc/WhyThisFork.txt
and they bundle lcms2mt (mt for multithread) into the respective packages. Right now, we use system lcms2 (patch in mupdf, directory removal in gs). So, if anybody gets weird errors with colors (I'm not sure in which circumstances) when using gs or mudpf, it may be that they have it that issue. Of course, we could revert to use the bundled lcms2mt, but there are two drawbacks: - risk of not having the latest version of lcms2 in those packages - the bundled library is statically linked into the executable, making it bigger... Not that future versions of the software may not be compatible anymore with system lcms2 at all (there are mandatory API changes to make the library thread safe). This message is for the record, but others may have something to say, so please do.
