-<h3><a name="Version8.50"></a>Version 8.50 (2004-12-10)</h3>
+<h3><a name="Version8.50"></a>Version 8.51 (2005-04-12)</h3>
-<p>This is the first release in the new stable series of Ghostscript.
-In addition to many bug fixes it contains numerous new features. Most
-obvious will be improved font handling and rasterization, and better
-support for PDF 1.4 and 1.5 documents.
-
-<p>
-New features since the last stable release:
-
-<ul>
-<li><p>
-Topological grid fitting,
-an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
-the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
-See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
-feature.
-
-<li><p>
-The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
-See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
-information.
-
-<li><p>
-A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
-Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
-rasterization on continuous tone devices.
-The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
-customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
-functions.
-
-<li><p>
-Better support for running Ghostscript in "Job Server" mode as a daemon
-to continually accept and convert a series of independent files.
-
-<li><p>
-Also new is the Rinkj deivce, an
-experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening
-and color profiles to achieve very high quality output for tuned output.
-See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
-
-<li><p>
-We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
-and encryption modes.
-
-<li><p>
-We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
-compression library. In this release this support is only enabled as in
-the default autoconf (POSIX) and MSVC builds.
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-This release also has major internal improvements toward thread safety,
-although we have not yet reached this goal. Nevertheless Ghostscript
-should be more robust when used as a library, and these changes were
-an important precursor to complete virtualization.
+<p>This is the second stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
+It contains numerous bug fixes and improvements, particularly in the
+area of PDF 1.6 handling.
+<p>Also new in this release is an experimental version of the new level
+2 Postscript output device, which may be of interest to developers.
