[Update] AFPL GhostScript v8.53
ArjanDotOrg
Overview :
Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides: An
interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the ability to convert
PostScript language files to many raster formats, view them on displays,
and print them on printers that don't have PostScript language capability
built in; An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with
the same abilities; The ability to convert PostScript language files to
PDF (with some limitations) and vice versa; and A set of C procedures
(the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics capabilities that
appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language.
What's New:
# AFPL Ghostscript 8.53 is the fourth stable release following 8.50.
# This release is mostly the same as 8.52, but a late report of build
problems on Window64/AMD64 and a potential SEGV in DEBUG mode mandated
this release.
# The 8.53 release also includes a rendering performance enhancement for
PDF's with transparency (10x to 90x on files with many small transparency
regions/groups).
# The 8.52 features included in 8.53 are: 8.52 contains numerous bug
fixes and improvements, particularly in the area DeviceN (spot color)
handling and the PDF interpreter.
# The pdfwrite device can now create PDF/X-3 compliant documents using
the lib/PDFX_def.ps prefix approach. See doc/Ps2pdf.htm documentation.
# Also in 8.52 is a Beta version level 2 Postscript output device,
ps2write, which generates high-level PostScript including text and images
and graphics.
