Package: gs-aladdin
Version: 5.50-8
The program ps2ascii may convert some characters not in plain ascii.
For example, here are the Danish characters that does not appear in
plain ascii. ps2ascii, however can convert them to an acceptable
substitute, fx:
"å" (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE) can be written "aa"
"æ" (LATIN SMALL LETTER AE) can be written "ae"
"ø" (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE) can be written "oe"
The upper case characters should be converted to, respectively, "AA",
"AE" and OE.
ps2ascii knows to convert LATIN SMALL LETTER AE, but converts, for
example, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE as "a*".
That is wrong.
Here is a cut from "man iso-8859-1":
305 197 C5 Å LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
306 198 C6 Æ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE
330 216 D8 Ø LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE
345 229 E5 å LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
346 230 E6 æ LATIN SMALL LETTER AE
370 248 F8 ø LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE
Ciao

Changes:

.
[Masayuki Hatta]
* Maintainer upload, New upstream release.
* Acknowledged NMUs, thanks tv - closes: #472645, #495703, #503712
* debian/patches/32_improve-handling-of-media-size-changes-from-gv.dpatch:
Allow gv to change the image and media size (Upstream bug #688943)
- closes: #142228
* debian/patches/33_bad-params-to-xinitimage-on-large-bitmaps.dpatch:
Fixed zooming problem in gv (Upstream bug #689547)
- closes: #419183
* debian/patches//34_ftbfs-on-hurd-fix.dpatch:
Fixed FTBFS on hurd-i386 - closes: #475704
* Added Homepage, Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser headers in control.
* Sync'd with the Ubuntu 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu13.
.
[Till Kamppeter]
* debian/libgs8.shlibs: Removed. All libgs8 versions should have the same
API and ABI. The artificial restriction set by this file required all
reverse dependencies to be rebuilt for every stable release of Ghostscript.
* debian/patches/35_disable_libcairo.dpatch: Added possibility to
compile Ghostscript without the "cairo" output device. The device
is still in experimental state and with its dependency on libcairo
it pulls in a dependency on X.
* debian/control, debian/rules: Build Ghostscript without the "cairo"
output device.
* debian/patches/38_pxl-duplex.dpatch: The Duplex option of the "pxlmono"
and "pxlcolor" drivers did not work.
* debian/patches/39_pxl-resolution.dpatch: The resolution must be also set
as PJL command for the "pxlmono" and "pxlcolor" drivers.
* debian/patches/42_gs-init-ps-delaybind-fix.dpatch: Make "ps2ascii" working
again (Upstream bug #690124) - closes: #81430, #229748, #131528
* debian/patches/45_bjc600-bjc800-pdf-input.dpatch: Fix setting of the
"DitheringType" option. With PDF input Ghostscript crashes, with
PostScript input the "DitheringType" option was probably ignored
(Upstream bug #690032).
*
debian/patches/48_cups-output-device-pdf-duplex-uninitialized-memory.patch.dpatch:
Fixed several bugs in the "cups" (CUPS Raster) output device:
- Ghostscript crashed with PDF input data
- The "Duplex" and "MediaWeight" options were ignored
- There was uninitialized memory and wrong usage of pointers, potential
cause for segmentation faults or even vulnerabilities
- There were mismatches in data types, leading to possible breakage
of the "AdvanceDistance", "MediaWeight", and "cupsStringXX" options.
(Upstream bug #690101).
* debian/local/pdftoraster/pdftoraster.c,
debian/local/pdftoraster/pdftoraster.convs, debian/rules: Added pdftoraster
filter from the Ghostscript SVN repository - closes: #505282
* debian/patches/50_lips4-floating-point-exception: Fixed floating-point
exception in "lips4" and other drivers (Upstream bug #690122).
* debian/patches/52_cups-device-logging.dpatch: Made logging of the "cups"
output device much less verbose. The log of one jub in debug mode did not
fit into the maximum log file size of CUPS.
* debian/patches/55_pcl-input-slot-fix.dpatch: Made the paper tray selection
via "-dMediaPosition=..." in the PCL 4/5/5e drivers work (Upstream bug
#690182).
* debian/patches/57_pxl-input-slot-fix.dpatch: Made the paper tray selection
via "-dMediaPosition=..." in the PCL 6/XL drivers work.
* debian/patches/60_pxl-cups-driver-pdf.dpatch: Made the PCL-XL CUPS filter
and PPDs work with PDF input.
* debian/patches/62_onebitcmyk-pdf.dpatch: Check the whole Decode array to
detect special cases of identity and inverse decoding in PDF files
(Upstream bug #690178).
* debian/ghostscript.postinst: Added automatic update of the PPD files
of already existing print queues.
* debian/ghostscript.postinst: Do not try to update the PPDs of existing
print queues if CUPS is not installed or not running.
* debian/patches/60_pxl-cups-driver-pdf.dpatch: The pstopxl filter did not
remove its temporary file after finishing.
* debian/patches/65_too-big-temp-files-1.dpatch: Ghostscript produced much
too big temporary files (> 10 GB) when printing photos from GNOME apps in
1200 dpi. Part 1 of the fix which reduces the temp file size to less than
2 GB (Upstream bug #690133).
* debian/patches/67_too-big-temp-files-2.dpatch: Complete fix for the too big
temporary files. Now the bug is completely fixed. Temp files are not much
bigger than the jobs themselves now (Upstream bug #690133).
*
debian/patches/70_take-into-account-data-in-stream-buffer-before-refill.dpatch:
Certain files lead to a Ghostscript error due to wrong handling of the
stream buffer (Upstream bug #690090).
