Hi
A new version of 'xpdf' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION:
An open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
CYGWIN NEWS:
* Routine update
Xpdf NEWS
=
* Incorporated 1 security patch from the xpdf homepage
Added the continuous view mode, including the '-cont' switch and the
'continuousView' config file option.
At high zoom levels, don't rasterize the entire page - this avoids
problems running out of memory.
Added search backward and match case options to the find dialog.
Support explicitly masked images and soft masked images.
Add support to DCTStream for 16-bit quant tables.
Don't segfault if the user clicks on an outline entry with a broken
destination.
Changed the makefiles and configure script to skip building pdftoppm
(in addition to xpdf) if X, Motif, or FreeType is not found; changed
the error message in the configure script to match.
Move an inline function in JArithmeticDecoder.cc to avoid compiler
errors.
Fixed a bug in the rasterizer that was sometimes causing infinite
loops with round line caps on vertical lines.
Various rasterizer optimizations.
Look for intermediate resize events - try to avoid lagging when the
user is doing an opaque resize.
The FormType key in Form XObjects is optional.
Handle external 16-bit TrueType fonts correctly, using the Unicode
cmap.
Add class declarations to TextOutputDev.h to work with stricter C++
compilers.
Support FreeType's weird include file stuff (ft2build.h, etc.).
Fixed a bug handling empty paths.
Fixed a text positioning problem in PostScript output.
Handle TrueType collections in FoFiTrueType.cc.
FoFiTrueType constructor was reporting a failure if the post table was
bad - this should be non-fatal.
Type 1 font parser was missing a NULL test.
Mask chars passed to isdigit in goo/parseargs.c to avoid problems with
signed chars.
Added more error checking to the CCITTFax decoder.
Fixed a bug (computing the MCU size) in the DCT decoder.
Change a test in the Splash stroke code to avoid x86 floating point
weirdness.
Reorganized the decryption code to allow security handler plugins;
removed the NO_DECRYPTION #ifdefs.
Added a plugin interface, initially just for security handlers.
Support color key masked images and explicitly masked images in PS
output (Level 2 only).
When checking for aliases of the Base 14 fonts, ignore spaces in the
specified font name.
Handle encrypted PDF files that are missing the file ID string.
Handle tiling patterns more efficiently in the PostScript output.
Rewrote the code that handles color spaces in PostScript output.
Fixed a bug in the Type 1C font parser - zero-length indexes (and
zero-length names) weren't handled correctly.
Handle shaded fills more efficiently in the PostScript output.
Implement the remaining shading types (4-7).
Rearranged the Splash color modes.
Add the EarlyChange parameter to LZWStream when generating PostScript.
Check for zero values in line dash arrays in PSOutputDev.
Fixed an uninitialized variable in JArithmeticDecoder which was
causing crashes.
Treat unknown CMap names as identity mappings (to match Adobe's
behavior).
Fixed bugs in the XRef parser related to XRef streams in updated
files.
Added a missing call to FT_Done_Glyph which was causing a memory leak.
[Thanks to Dave Formanek.]
Fixed a bug in text copying that was causing the last word to be
dropped on some pages.
Tweaked the image width/height computation in Splash::drawImage and
Splash::fillImageMask to make striped images work better.
Ignore minus signs in the middle of numbers (to match Adobe's
behavior).
Missing '%s' in format strings for dates in pdftotext '-htmlmeta'
mode.
Change the TrueType code-to-GID mapping code so it looks at the
standard name-to-Unicode mapping before the ToUnicode mapping
defined in the font object.
Added a matteColor setting (command line option and X resource).
Tweaked the CMYK-RGB transform.
Fix some problems in tracking the character position (to match up with
Adobe's highlight file format).
Handle moveto/closepath/stroke correctly.
Check for singular text matrices and font size of zero in PSOutputDev.
Clip PS output to the size of the page (avoiding any gibberish that
lies outside the MediaBox, in the case where the MediaBox is smaller
than the paper).
If the line dash element in an annotation's Border array is of an
invalid type (i.e., not an array), don't draw the link at all (this
matches Adobe's behavior).
Don't remap small caps and oldstyle glyphs in the name-to-Unicode
table - it messes up TrueType font encodings.
Pdftoppm wasn't setting the paper color correctly in mono and gray
modes (this only showed up on big-endian machines).
Missing NULL check was causing crashes when
