 .
 gs (6.51-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release (closes: #101928).
   * The new upstream release fixes many problems with the interpreter.
     These bugs were fixed in Ghostscript 6.0:
     + the font rendering problem in X11 is fixed (closes: #28579)
     + ps2pdf does not write rectangles for polygons anymore (closes: #36200)
     + the PDF which crashed gs does not lead to any problems (closes: #45361)
     + a PDF which was inverted by pdf2ps stays black on
       white now (closes: #49659).
     + Philipp's file crashing gs does not do so anymore (closes: #58468)
     + the invalid LanguageGroup in fonts does not cause gs to abort
       anymore (closes: #67462).
     + another PDF file which caused a crash is working now (closes: #89995)
   * Rewrote the build system.
   * The libjpeg sources are now included in the diff which is not nice
     but working (closes: #87896).
   * lynx is not used anymore to convert the changelog to plain text
     (closes: #93722).
   * The hpijs driver is now included upstream (closes: #106294).
   * Driver support for the Apple Imagewriter is now included (closes: #110740).
   * Make the package use update-alternatives so that different gs packages
     can cooperate (closes: #98227).
   * Add in the gdi driver provided by Daniel Burrows (closes: #105885).
   * debian/devices: Add omni to the list
     + debian/gen-makefile: Add threading and dynamic linking support.
   * debian/control: Add libglib1.2-dev to the Build-Depends as it is
     needed for the Omni driver.
   * debian/devices: Go through the list of available drivers and add
     what we seem to be able to build. Among the new devices:
     - cdj970 (closes: #112434)
     - cljet5, cljet5pr, cljet5c
     - dl2100, hl7x0
     - the generic hpijs device (supports hpijs 0.97, closes: #102369, #110657)
     - imagen, inferno, jetp3852
     - lex2050, lex3200, lex5700
     - oki4w
     - plan9bm
     - psrgb
     - x11cmyk2, x11cmyk4, x11cmyk8, x11gray4
   * src/contrib.mak: Add missing generic hpijs device.
   * Enable stp driver and link with libgimpprint
     (closes: #82454, #87004, #103036)
   * debian/control: Build-Depend on libgimpprint-dev.
   * debian/gen-makefile: Add support for the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment
     variable (more precisely, the debug option leads to a build with
     debugging support and exported private variables).
   * Add in the CJK support using the patch from
     Yasuhiro Take <take@debian.org>. A huge "THANK YOU" to him for his
     work!!! His changes:
     + Add debian/patches/gs-cjk-M2-R1+CJKPDF.diff & .info, and apply it
       to the source.
     + debian/control: Conflicts: Add gs-cjk-resource (<< 1.20010910-1) because
       the new gs-cjk patch requires new gs-cjk-resource that i've already
       prepared and doesn't work with older ones.
     + debian/control: Depends: Add gs-common (>= 0.2) because font
       configuration for the new gs-cjk patch is completely different from
       the old one.
   * debian/control: Removed the conflict with gs_x, gs_svga and gs_both.
     I don't even remember when those packages where in Debian, probably
     before Debian 1.3 so a direct upgrade is going to fail anyway. And
     with intermediate upgrades it will not be a problem.
   * src/imainarg.c: Reapply the papersize diff from debian/patches.
 .
 gs (5.50-8) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Use html2text to convert the html changelog into
     plain text instead of lynx (closes: #93722).
   * debian/control: Update Build-Depends.
   * debian/prerm: Fix the case to handle both removal and upgrade
     instead of handling upgrading in two cases (closes: #98458).
   * debian/control: Merge multi-line Build-Depends into one line for
     now until our tools support multi line fields (closes: #98459).
