Announcing updates for PHP, Ghostscript, and MuPDF

[Mark Berryman]

Time to get back in the game and release some package updates...

Ghostscript v9.10 is available at
http://theberrymans.com/php_kits/ghostscript-9_10.zip

This is a standalone package. It can be rebuilt using only the files
included in the kit. Rebuilding requires DECC and MMK. The included
executables will run on V7.3-2 or later for Alpha and V8.3 or later for
IA64.


MuPDF v1.3 is available at http://theberrymans.com/php_kits/mupdf-1_3.zip

Same notes as for Ghostscript (except that rebuilding requires DECC and
MMS). Please read the notes in the zip archive (by using the unzip -z
command) as they contain important information on unpacking the kit.



PHP v5.3.28 is available at
http://theberrymans.com/php_kits/php_i64_5_3_28.zip and php_axp_5_3_28.zip

This will be the last release of PHP 5.3 that I do. I am currently
working on PHP 5.4.24 as a transition release. All work after that will
be on PHP 5.5.


Please send any questions or comments you may have to me directly as I
am not normally on this forum.

Wonderful. I was just going to fix up my ghostscript installation this
weekend. I'll download the new one. A relatively recent one I have is
much better than a quite old one I also have (no surprise there). In
the old days, I also used GV. It used gs under the hood, but GV was a
much more comfortable user interface. It would be really nice if
someone could tell me how to get my GV working with the newest gs or
point me to a newer GV. Back then, I installed both at the same time
without much effort, so I'm not sure what is involved regarding mutual
dependencies etc. Anyone else here using GV?

I still have the old "358" version og GV. It works perfectly with
GhostScript 9.10. What you have to do is : define a symbol GS as follows
GS:==$<device><directory>GS>EXE

Thanks Mark for these good things.

Jouk is correct when he says that GV 3.58 is OK with these recent versions of GS, both on OpenVMS ALpha and I64.

I use MuPDF very much, on itself and also as a plug-in to CSWB (SeaMonkey) with Mozplugger.
