Name : ghostscript Product : Fedora 12 Version : 8.70 Release : 5.fc12 URL : http://www.ghostscript.com/ Summary : A PostScript interpreter and renderer. Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes the cups raster driver's output with duplex jobs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jan 25 2010 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 8.70-5 - Fixed pdftoraster so that it waits for its sub-process to exit. - Another gdevcups duplex fix from upstream revision 10631 (bug #541604). * Fri Jan 22 2010 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 8.70-4 - New ghostscript-cups sub-package for some additional filters: pdftoraster; pstopxl.
