Version 9.56.0 (2022-02-22)

Highlights in this release include:

    -
  • This release includes the fix for the %pipe% security issue (CVE-2021-3781). -

  • New PDF Interpreter: This is an entirely new implementation written in C (rather than PostScript, as before). For a full discussion of this change and reasons for it see: Changes Coming to the PDF Interpreter. -

    In this (9.55.0) release, the new PDF interpreter is disabled by default in Ghostscript, -but can be used by specifying -dNEWPDF. We hope to make it the default in 9.56.0, and -fully deprecate the PostScript implementation shortly after that (depending on the feedback -we get). +

    In this (9.56.0) release, the new PDF interpreter is now ENABLED by default +in Ghostscript, but the old PDF interpreter can be used as a fallback by specifying +-dNEWPDF=false. We've provided this so users that encounter issues with the new +interpreter can keep working while we iron out those issues, the option will not be available in +the long term.

    This also allows us to offer a new executable (gpdf, or gpdfwin??.exe on Windows) which is purely for PDF input. For this release, those new binaries are not included -in the "install" make targets, nor in the Windows installers (they will be from 9.56.0 onwards). -

    We would ask that as many users as possible take the opportunity to test with the new PDF implementation -(i.e. using -dNEWPDF on your gs command line), and discuss any problems with us, before -the new implementation becomes the default. -

    • -
  • -

    The pdfwrite device now supports "passthrough" for JPX/JPG2000 data images (as well as the -already supported JPEG/DCT Encoded). That means that if no rescaling or color conversion of the image data -is required, the encoded/compressed image data from the input file will be written unchanged to the output, -preventing potential image degradation caused by decompressing and recompressing. -

    • -
  • -

    The Ghostscript/GhostPDL demo apps for C, C#, Java and Python have all had improvements and the -C#/Java/Python language bindings have now been documented, see Ghostscript Language Bindings -

    The Zugferd compliant PDF generating definitions (lib/zugferd.ps) have been updated and expanded to support the -current version (2.1.1) of the Zugferd spec, and optionally different versions of the specification. -

    The PCL/m output devices now support Duplex/Tumble. +in the "install" make targets, nor in the Windows installers.

  • -

    The internal support for "n-up" style simple imposition (introduced in 9.54.0) has been extended and improved -for better support across all input formats. +

    Ghostscript now supports object specific halftone - for example, different halftones can be specified for text and -images, reflecting the differing needs of rendering those two types of object. +
