This is the first release in a new stable series of Ghostscript
releases.
The GhostPDL release number has been set to 8.70 as well, to make it
easier to identify corresponding releases.
This release fixes a large number of issues with transparency,
especially as it interacts with color space conversion, mask contexts
and patterns. There have also been a number of significant fixes to font
handling, especially when generating PDF. And there are numerous
robustness, correctness and performance improvements.
New generic Esc/Page devices, eplmono and eplcolor were added to the
contrib directory. A new cdnj500 device was added to support the HP
DesignJet 500.
The licensing of the Free version of the core Ghostscript code has been
changed to GPLv3 or later. Previously, the core code was GPLv2 only.
Ghostscript can now be used with GPLv3 applications, and can no longer
be used with applications that are GPLv2-only.
This release also includes security fixes addressing CVE-2009-0583 and
CVE-2009-0792.
The following bugs were
open at the time of release:
The size of PostScript integers has been limited to 32 bits. Previously
they used the C long type resulting in 64 bits of precision on LP64
systems (like Linux on x86_64). As of this release all platforms match
the recommended implementation limits in the specification.
Fix incorrect right shift on 64-bit platforms. PLRM defines bitshift operator
as a logical shift. On 64-bit platform, the integer operand was promoted to
64-bit long value, shifted, and assigned back to 32-bit int, effectively
emulating the sign extension.

Work around problems with XInitImage and large rasters.
Patch from Russ Cox, fixes Bugs 689547 and 689561.
Details:
The patch sets bitmap_pad, and passes 0 for bytes_per_line in
cases were current xorg can correctly generate a value. Russ writes:
I have tracked down the problem, and it appears to be a bad interaction
between
gs and recent sanity checking in the X library.
In particular, sometimes x_copy_image in gdevx.c gets called with wide
widths but narrow raster values. Even though the raster is apparently
wrong, the X graphics operations would work okay with that value. But
new versions of X11 have various checks in XInitImage, one of which is
that the raster is greater than or equal to the width of the image times
the depth.
To see that this diagnosis is correct, replacing the call to XInitImage
with a call to _XInitImageFuncPtrs (which is just XInitImage without the
sanity checking) makes gs start working. But of course
_XInitImageFuncPtrs is not a public interface function and thus probably
not the best fix. Replacing the "bytes_per_line = raster" with
"bytes_per_line = 0" (which makes X compute the value from width and
depth) works fine in the zoom levels that would otherwise crash but
causes the previously-working zoom levels to shear the image (or worse),
presumably because the "obvious" raster is not the right one at those
levels.
Also, the new XInitImage also requires bitmap_pad be set always.
The patch below also fixes the problem -- I can run "gv pprof.ps" at all
zoom levels, and I can also zoom into regular documents.
Perhaps it is not the right fix -- perhaps the actual bug is that
x_copy_image is being called with a bad raster value in the first place.
But it does work.

Fix (pdfwrite): Excessive redefinitions of CIDFonts causing memory exhaustion
Details:
bug #690642: "conversion to PDF aborts after 800 pages"
When instantiating a CIDFont with TrueType outlines, the TrueType interpretation code
tries to name the font using the name table from the TrueType font. If there is no name
table (as is the case for CIDFonts with TT outlines) it instead uses the XUID as the
name.
The XUID is incremented on every use, this means that each time the font is instantiated
(up to once per page when the job is PDF) we create a new CIDFont with a new name.
pdfwrite is unable to determine that these are all in fact the same original font, and
creates many fonts in the output file, eventually leading to memory exhaustion.
This change creates a new key in the current dictionary '/PDFCIDFontName', while
processing a CIDFont with TrueType outlines for a PDF file, which is the same as the
CIDFont BaseFont name. Since PDF can only have one descendant font per CIDFont this
should not cause name collisions. To avoid interference with PostScript the key is
removed from the current dictionary after use.
In the TrueType interpreter, if we are handling a CIDRFont then after loading the TT
tables we check to see if /PDFCIDFontName is defined. If it is we use it to replace the
/FontName and /CIFontName values. This means we only ever create the font with a single
name, which avoids the confusion with pdfwrite.
With this change pdfwrite only emits a single font and, usefully, it has the same name
as the font in the original PDF file.
Add bounds checking to various icclib functions.
Based on a set of patches by Jan Lieskovsky at Red Hat,
addressing CVE-2009-0583 and CVE-2009-0792.
Details:
Various _get_size and _write methods in icclib 2.01 were vulnerable to
integer overflow from corrupt or malicious profile data. This commit
makes a number of changes to address this.
First, it enforces bounds checking on array indicies generated through
tag data lookup or floating point calculations, either throwing an error
or clamping, depending on the context.
Second, it converts a number of malloc(nelement*size) calls into
calloc(nelements, size), passing responsibility for overflow control
to the standard library. This works on recent glibc, MacOS 10.4 (at
least) and MSVC 2005 (at least; I believe MSVC 6 doesn't check for
overflow). Systems which overcommit memory allocations generally also
lazily zero pages, so the performance implications of an overflow in
calloc() resulting in a huge allocation (or the same happening at the
request of corrupt or malicious ICC profile data) are not as bad as
might appear relative to the original malloc(). From the other side,
multi-processing systems must often zero pages delivered to malloc
anyway to prevent information leakage.
On top of Jan's patches, this commit uses a fallback for SIZE_MAX, a
stdint.h define which isn't available on all platforms (notably MSVC),
and changes a number error message to match the malloc->calloc changes.
It fixes a serious bug where the new error checking code incorrectly
rejected valid profiles with an MLUT but no black point tag.
icc_get_luobj() always tried to load the black point tag, and if it
wasn't found, icc_read_tag() would set an error flag, which was later
picked up in icmLut_read() by the check added for the results of
icmLut_get_size(). Since the black point tag is optional, and icclib
already substitutes a default (0,0,0) black point if none is contained
in the profile, we just reset the error condition within
icc_get_luobj(). vtm2k.pdf is a good testfile for this issue.
Likewise, the length of lookup tables was limited to 100 points, as a
resource consumption constraint, but the spec allows LUTs with up
to 255 points. Bug690495.pdf from the regression suite triggered
this problem.
Thanks to Michael Vrhel for these last two fixes.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Incorrect table in /Unicode /Decoding Resource
Details
Bug #690648 "many incorrectly encoded Latin Extended-A characters"
The job in this issue contains a subset incrementally downloaded TrueType font where
the Encoding is such that the first glyph encountered is encoded at character
position 1, the second at position two and so on. In addition there is no
GlyphNames2Unicode dictionary.
pdfwrite tries, whenever possible, to write a ToUnicode CMap into the output PDF file
which allows Acrobat and other consumers to copy and paste text using Unicode values.
Since there is no Unicode information in the file, and the Encoding is distinctly
non-standard, we fall all the way back to using the glyph names as a last ditch
attempt to generate the Unicode information.
This relies on the /Unicode /decoding resource, it seems that many glyphs in this
resource were (and possibly still may be) encoded at the wrong Unicode code points.
This patch fixes the glyphs raised in the bug report, there may be others.

The commits provides proper transparency support for fills with patterns that contain transparency. This is a merge of the pattern_trans branch into the trunk.
DETAILS:
When a pattern contains a transparency, it should be blended with the underlying objects according to the current extended graphic state settings (e.g. knockout, blend mode etc). Prior to this commit, patterns with transparency behaved always as knockout fills. This fixes Bug 690467 and fixes issues for files that contain transparency patterns in the regression suite when using the pbm output device.
When a transparency is present in a pattern, a pdf14 device is pushed. Pattern accumulation will then occur in the transparency buffer. When the accumulation completes, the buffer that is created is no longer passed to the pattern tile object gx_pattern_trans_t through pdf14_put_image, but instead the buffer and various details about the buffer are placed in the existing planar form into a new member of gx_pattern_trans_t called ttrans.
When a path is to be filled with the pattern, we will be in pdf14_fill_path. If the color to fill with is of type pattern1_color, then we will do a call to pdf14_tile_pattern_fill which pushes a transparency group the size of the path that we are filling, in the base color space of the tile. We decompose the path to a rectangle list which is then filled using gx_trans_pattern_fill_rect. If the fill is simple, i.e. if the tile step size and tile size are the same, then a straight forward non-overlapping fill of the rectangle occurs. Otherwise a more complex filling occurs where the tiles may overlap. If the tiles overlap, then blending will need to occur. Optimizations were implemented to avoid blending if it is not required. In addition, memcpy was used for the inner loop filling (rows) when dealing with the non overlapped case. Going from planar data in the tile buffer to planar data in the transparency group that we are filling is much more efficient then switching between planar to chunky and back to planar like we would have had to do if we had used pdf14_put_image and stored the tile data in the buffer that is used for the nontransparency case. Once the fill completes, the transparency group is popped, which will perform the appropriate blending with the parent group in the proper color space.
Currently it is not allowed to have the transparency tile stored as a clist. Instead the tile is always stored in the ttrans object. It would probably be worthwhile to fix this at some point. When we are doing clist processing, code was added to write (gx_dc_pattern_trans_write_raster) and read (gx_dc_pattern_read_trans_buff) the ttrans object to and from the clist.

Enhancement (pdfwrite) : Add a new switch 'PDFACompatibilityPolicy to control PDF/A
creation when encountering invalid content.
Details
Bug #690500 "gs 8.63. Option dPDFA generating no pdf/a compliant files because of F
key."
In the reported issue the input PDF file contains a Link annotation with no /F (Flags)
key defined. PDF/A states that only annotations with the 'Print' bit of the Flags field
are permitted. pdfwrite was emitting the annotation, thus creating an invalid PDF/A
file.
The new switch PDFCompatibilityPolicy allows the user to select the behaviour for these
kinds of events. The value defaults to 0, where the behaviour matches Acrobat, the file
is created, but is not PDF/A compliant, a warning to this effect is given. When set to
1, the content will be omitted, resulting in a compliant PDF/A file, a warning is
given for each piece of omitted content. Values other than 0 or 1 are treated as 0 and
a warning is given that the value is not understood.
Currently only implemented for annotations, it is expected this will be extended over
time.

where it was omitted. Fix a SEGV on Sparc platform that cannot access

Add a couple of utilities for extracting Fonts and ICC Profiles from a
PDF. I had these laying around and the need for these comes up from
time to time. See the top of each PostScript file for usage.
DETAILS:
It is the responsibility of creators of PDF's to not embed fonts that
are identified as not to be embedded. Ghostscript (as of rev 8603)
respects the TrueType FSType FontInfo.
The copyright and license of fonts and ICC profiles in a PDF will
still be in force. Any knowledgeable user can use Ghostscript
(or many other tools) to extract this information. We provide this
utility mostly to provide the 'source' for GPL'ed fonts as required
by fonts. Fonts are programs and distribution requires distribution
of 'source', so this lets users get the source and (using a font
editor) modify the font. See bug 690533 (if you must).
Change the GPL Ghostscript license to GPLv2 or later, instead of GPLv2-only.

This patch is a continuation of revision 9842, to derive the fill
adjustment parameter from the graphics state and not assume the value
is 1/2. Interestingly, the patch seems to result in improvements for
postscript in several regression test files. For example cet file
13-13.ps page 3 appears to improve the clipping of the large (W)
character. Previously the (W) character obscured the line on the top
border of the page, now the line is visible. Unfortunately the non
banded result is still wrong and with the fix does not match the
banded output. Analysis of this issue is incomplete and ongoing.

Fix (CID fonts): The fallback when totally failing to find a character code in a CMap
sets the CID to 0 (/.notdef) but failed to select a descendant font.
Details:
bug #690372 "Error: /undefined in %Type0BuildGlyph"
The PDF file is fundamentally flawed, the font uses the /Identity-H CMap for a font, but
the font uses single bytes for each character code, where the CMap expects 2 bytes for
every character code.
The font code falls back to using CID 0 (the /.notdef equivalent), but failed to select
a descendant font before returning. Because no descendant was selected GS was attempting
to extract the glyph from the type 0 font, which has no glyphs, and therefore failed
with an undefined error.
The code has been modified to select a descendant font before continuing under these
conditions.

Fix for segfault caused by dereference of a stale pointer (pgs->dev_color).
Bug 690519 detected with pkmraw during regression testing.
DETAILS:
If a GC was run during a pattern accum in the PS interpreter, the pgs->dev_color
structure could be moved. This was not tracked, probably because the dev_color
was assumed to be "dynamic". The fix performs gx_unset_dev_color during the
pattern_paint_cleanup (in zpcolor.c). This minimal change is all that is needed
since only the PS interpreter runs a "real" GC that moves structures.

The fill adjustment associated with the clipping path should be
derived from the graphics state, not set to the constant 1/2. This
change results in many improvement for pcl which uses center of pixel
(fill adjust == 0) rendering. It should result in no change for
postscript or pdf at high resolution, but we do expect many difference
at lower resolutions, where fill adjust is set to 1/4. In the latter
case postscript and pdf paint with fill adjust set to 1/4 while
clipping paths are created with a fill adjustment of 1/2 which is
incorrect.

Enhancement (TrueType fonts): Add support for Adobe's use of Identity CMap in PDF files,
when substituting a TrueType font, mapped as a CIDFont from disk, for a missing CIDFont.
Details:
bug #688515 "Need method to map CIDFonts to TrueType fonts when Ordering is Identity"
This issue also covers issues #689499, #688813, #689623 and #690483.
When using a native TrueType font from disk as a replacement for a CIDFont, GS needs a
way to convert the character code used in the input file (either PostScript or PDF) into
a TrueType glyph ID (GID).
When the TrueType font is declared (in cidfmap), the CSI entry contains an Ordering, this is concatenated with the CMAP declared in the actual TrueType font. This
information is used to create a CIDDecoding resource, certain combinations (defined in
.CMapChooser) create CIDDecoding resources 'on the fly'.
A CIDDecoding resource simply maps a character code directly to a GID. Normally this
resource, when automatically created, is manufactured by converting the character code
to an internal code (using the declared CMap from cidfmap) and then converting the
internal code to a GID using the TrueType CMAP table. Most often the internal code
is a Unicode code point.
The investigation in 688515 makes it clear that when we have an Identity CMap in a
PDF file the character code should be treated as the GID. This makes it very easy for
us to construct a CIDDecoding resource, its a simple one-to-one. Unfortunately the
existing machinery relies upon a CMap, and there is already a mapping for
Identity.Symbol (An Identity CMap with a font whose CMAP table is a Symbol table).
We don't want to break this existing functionality, so the new code adds an entry
in .CMapChooser for Identity.Unicode (only to avoid errors) and then in the
function which actually loads the TT font (load_sfnts in gs_cidtt.ps) we check
specifically for an Identity.Unicode Decoding. If we find one then we call a new
routine to create an Identity mapping (CIDMap) from character code to GID.

color spaces instead of device-independent ones for full backward

Fix for bug690546. Problem was caused by double application of opacity for knockout fills. The opacity was being applied in the alpha value and in the opacity value. The alpha value is the product of the shape and opacity and can be used directly.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Update 'where_used' in case object is used across pages
Details
Bug #690056 "Error with embedded image in generated PDF: XObject not found"
Pdfwrite tries to detect reuse of objects, and only emit a single copy when this occurs.
However on return from pdf_substitute_resource several places do not set the
'where_used' field. If the object is used on a different page to the one where it is
defined, this causes it not to be listed in the page Resources.
Update two of the places where this occurs to resolve the problem.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Make type 3 bitmap font text-searchable if possible
Details
Bug #690430 "PCL to PDF creates non-searchable text with incorrect font bbox"
There were several changes which needed to be made here, in particular
1) Prevent the PDF text routines updating the text state when using type 3 bitmap
fonts, as this caused each glyph to be emitted individually.
2) Change the way bitmap glyphs are recorded and drawn, previously each glyph origin
was the top of the glyph, which meant that different height glyphs had effectively
differing baselines. The need to shift y position caused glyphs to appear on
different PDF 'lines', which prevented searching
3) Hone some internal heuristics which prevented large kerning values and caused glyphs
to be placed individually.
Add a couple of missing initialisers to the PDF device structure. Spotted this problem while working on another issue.

Fix (pdfwrite): Bug in pdfmark processing
Details
Bug #690525 "hyperlinks in pdf off by one page since revision 9779"
Revision 9779 fixed a problem when a DOCVIEW pdfmark did not specify a /Page or View to
open the file on. This caused an extra page reference to be created, which caused an
invalid xref to be created.
This was fixed by altering the page count, but this caused real DEST pdfmarks not to
work properly under some conditions.
Restored the page count, and used the presence of either a /Page or /View pdfmark to
generate a page number, if neither is present no page number is created. This fixes
both issues.

Provide for filling zero width areas to prevent dropout in some strange stroked
characters. This seems to be the intent of the code, and definitely conforms to
the PS PLRM, but the PDF Reference Manual says zero width fills may or may not
be filled (although Adobe Acrobat does). This is not (yet) enabled by default,
but is provided to simplify regression analysis and for customer 531, bug 690466.
DETAILS:
The original code in gxfill.c seems quite strange in that usually it will fill
horizontal areas sue to the 'adjust_above' and 'adjust_below', but depending
on the coordinate, this would sometimes NOT include the horizontal segment.
The change to gxfilltr.h adds vertical segments when PSEUDO_RASTERIZATION
is in the 'template' (as before) as well as when FILL_ADJUST is in the
'template' and the 'adjust' left and right values are > 0.

Previously we identified a banding device by checking if its
get_bits_rectangle procedure was the same as the procedure used in the
constant procedure declarations gs_clist_device_procs. This
conditional has not been correct since the multi-threaded code, the
get_bits_rectangle() procedure is overridden with a new procedure
get_bits_rectangle_mt() and all devices were detected as non-banding.
We change the procedure checked to be open_device and don't expect
this to be overridden, but the code is still somewhat awkward.
The broken conditional resulted in non deterministic behavior in the
wtsimdi device, indirectly causing the complexity array to be
uninitialized.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Bug with DOCVIEW pdfmark handling
Details
bug #690514 "PageMode DOCVIEW pdfmarks result in broken PDF file"
Using the the /PageMode DOCVIEW pdfmark without using another DOCVIEW pdfmark
which directly references a page (eg specifying the page to open on via /Page)
results in a spurious extra entry in the xref table, referencing the first page
object.
This is caused by the pdfwrite routine 'pdfmark_make_dest' which calls
'pdfmark_page_number'. If there is no specified /Page in the pdfmark, then a new
page reference for the 'next' page is allocated in the xref table, using the
location of the current page. This is the source of the spurious entry.
Note that the DOCVIEW code seems to assume that there be at most one /Page or /View
pdfmark in the array.
Fixed by decrementing the page count in pdfmark_page_number if the string being
parsed for a page number is empty.

Fix (colour handling): improper handling of ICCBased space with a /Alternate ICCBased
space
Details:
bug #690495 "Error: /typecheck in --@0x1007f6f0--"
It is technically possible (apparently) for a PDF file to contain an ICCBased space
which has an /Alternate space which is also an ICCBased space. The existing
validation code assumed this would not be the case and reused a reference if the
latter space had no /Alternate in order to select an appropriate final Alternate.
This led to the latter ICCBased space being replaced by the selected default space,
which meant we had fewer spaces than expected when actually setting the space.
Fixed by inserting the selected appropriate default space into the ICC dictionary as
an /Alternate and revalidating the modified space.

Fix an uninitialized variable warning in FAPI_do_char.
Details:
Previously the local variable 'code' was used for incidental return
value checks, but *also* to set cr.is_glyph_index in in the CID font
case. This is because cid_to_TT_charcode() returns 1 on success, but
if it can't find a character code for the given cid, it sets the
character code to zero and returns zero itself to indicate failure.
Zero makes more sense as a glyph id (.notdef) than as a character
code, so in this case it's appropriate to set is_glyph_index based
on this. The other paths which set 'code' all deal with truetype
fonts, so the default success value of zero is also correct.
However, there were in theory code paths where code was never set,
and so is_glyph_index was being set from an unitialized value; thus
the gcc warning. And the double-use of the variable 'code' was hard
to read. This commit adds a separate boolean to track whether we've
found a character code or not and sets cr.is_glyph_index based on
that.

DETAILS :
Bug 690475 "ps2write" segfaults on PDF file of CUPS test suite".
When converting a shading to an image for PostScript output, and the resulting image is
large (> 512Kb), the code attempts to select an appropriate compression filter. As part
of doign this it probes the colour space in an attempt to determine what kind of space
it is. However this doesn't work when we have created the image ourselves, as tehre is
no associated imager state to probe the colour space resulting in a crash.

state.

Fix (FAPI) : Type 2 fonts with local Subrs fail
Details
Type 2 (CFF) fonts may have both local and global subroutines. Normally fonts will only
contain a global set, while FontSet fonts may contain both a global set, and a local set
per font.
The FAPI code, when converting an internal GS representation back into a CFF stream,
incorrectly conflated the local and global Subrs into a single GSubrs (global subrs)
dict. Additionally it pushed the local subrs first. The result of this is that glyphs
using a callgsubr operator retrieved the subroutine, and glyphs using a callsubr would
fail because no local Subrs were defined.
Extended the FAPI code to retrieve the local and global subrs separately, to write a
local /Subrs dict if required, and to correctly calculate the /Subrs offset and store
it in the font Private dict when a /Subrs dict is present.

Bug #690461 "ghostscript can't handle files with long name-paths"
The real issue is that the drag-and-drop interface had a fixed buffer of 80

It looks like the original code was from some boiler plate sample. Updated the code
to use the DragQeryFiles API call to find the length of the full path specification
and then malloc a buffer to hold it. Although we would never normally use the system
malloc call, this should not be a problem in the Windows-specific code.

Fix (FAPI) : FAPI fails when FontBBox is missing
Details
(see also rev 9692) The FAPI code attempts to modify the FontBBox in the font
dictionary after rebuilding a font with a non-GS font renderer. If the FontBBox is
missing this creates an error condition. This is generally correct, FontBBox is a
mandatory entry in a font dictionary.
However, the code can be called to define a (PDF) type1C font, a CFF font, and it is
possible (Bug689740.pdf) that the top DICT does not contain a FontBBox. In this case
we should inherit the FontBBox from the FontDescriptor in the PDF file, but we don't
have a mechanism to do that.
Since PDF isn't a programming language the scope for using the FontBBox is pretty
limited, so for now I've chosen to ignore the error.

Fix for case when blending color space of soft mask is not specified.
DETAILS:
When the blending color space for the soft mask is not specified, the blending color space is set to UNKNOWN. This is later resolved when the compositor action is handled. In this case, the parents color space or the device color space is used for blending. The code was in place
to do this for a transparency group that did not have a defined color space but not for a soft mask. This caused bug 690457 with gxps which should now be resolved.

Fix (FAPI): Incremental Type 42 font with GlyphDirectory & missing glyphs fails
Details
The FAPI code assumed that the routine to extract glyph data from sfnts would always
work when a GlyphDirectory is present, and used glyf + loca if this routine failed,
assuming that this meant there was no GlyphDirectory. However, the test file
Bug687845.ps contains a type 42 incrementally downloaded font which uses a
GlyphDirectory and also attempts to access glyphs which aren't defined in the
GlyphDirectory.
This caused the code to try and use the loca and glyf tables, which aren't present,
which caused an error.
Modified the FAPI code to return a glyph length of 0 when we have a GlyphDirectory but
no defined glyph. This causes GS to render nothing, which matches the regular result as
well as the action of Acrobat.

Fix (FAPI) : FAPI fails when FontBBox is a packed array
Details
The FPAI code attempts to modify the FontBBox in the font dictionary after rebuilding a
font with a non-GS font renderer. However it assumed that the FontBBox would always be a regular array, capable of handling real numbers.
Some fonts have FontBBox arrays which only contain small integers, and which are
therefore stored as packed arrays (t_shortarray in GS). This was cuasing the FAPI code
to throw an error.
Modified the code to replace the packed array with a full array before filling in the
new values, if the original array was packed.

Replace malloc with gs_alloc_bytes in the inferno device.
Details:
The inferno device allocates an image writer struct in initwriteimage,
and later frees it when a null buffer is passed to writeimageblock.
We prefer to use gs_alloc_bytes instead of calling system malloc
because it respects memory contraints requested by the client. Note
however that the w pointer is local to inferno_print_page and not
traceable. This is fine and the structure doesn't have a lifetime
outside that function. If it did, it would need to be stored and
enumerated in inferno_device.
Note that this requires modifying the two utility functions to take
a memory pool pointer.

Enahncement (FAPI) : Allow FAPI to work with pdfwrite.
DETAILS :
FreeType could not be used with pdfwrite for any purpose, even to render
fonts for bitmap fallback. This seems overly pessimistic.
This patch allows FAPI font rendering engines to work with pdfwrite, this
will mean the FAPI interface is used for the selected types of font (see
FAPI for documentation) including CharString decoding and especially
rendering to bitmaps for type 3 font fallback.
In general pdfwrite uses its own routines to write and convert font types as
required, but it does not render any kind of font data, so if it is unable
to handle a font type it relies on the graphics library to render the glyph
to a bitmap, which is then stored in a type 3 font.
The FAPI code checks the device parameters to see if 'EmbedFontObjects' is
true, and does not attempt to use the FAPI for fonts if it is. So firstly we
alter the device parameters in pdfwrite to set this to false.
The FAPI code was assuming that the text enumerator it received would always
be a 'show' enumerator, and extracted a pointer to the graphics state from it.
Of course if the device is pdfwrite then the text enumerator will instead be
a pdf_text_enum. Modified the code to check the object type of the enumerator
and use the pointer to the imager state (checking it is a st_gs_state type)
if this is not a show enumerator. Also only update the 'cc' fields in the
enumerator if this is a show enumerator.
Note that because the CharString and font validation is handled by the font
rendering engine, it may differ from the GS engine regarding the validity
of fonts.

Allocate the inferno device's color cube dynamically.
DETAILS:
The inferno device generates a color cube on device open, ostensibly
to speed up the palette mapping. Previously this was stored in a
global array, adding 16 or 32 KB to the constant memory footprint
of ghostscript.
Instead, this commit allocates the color cube dynamically, storing
a pointer to it in the inferno_device structure. A custom structure
descriptor is added, and propagated through the new prn_device
construction macros, so it can be traced by the garbage collector.
In this way, the memory is only used when the inferno device is active.

way around.
In any case, this commit adds two new construction macros for
filling in device structure templates: prn_device_stype_body and
prn_device_margins_stype_body. These take an additional argument,
the address of the subclass structure descriptor, after the device
name, and propagate it to the std_device_full_body_type macros.

This is a merge of the smask_work branch into the trunk. The merge fixes issues related to missing soft masks, improperly rendered soft masks and transparency group color spaces. It addresses a number of bugs including 688728 689422 689512 689931 688601 689968 690958 690115 690157 and 690170.
DETAILS:
This commit is a compilation of changes that occurred in the smask_work SVN branch. That branch was created with rev 9134 on Oct 8 2008. The final commit to that branch was with rev. 9665. For extreme details on the changes in this commit, you can review the commit messages within that branch.
Soft masks: The basic architecture for the soft mask remains in place; where by the soft mask is composed with the popping of the transparency group. In performing soft mask operations, the current code pushes a soft mask, which creates a new buffer. This buffer is then rendered into. Once the soft mask drawing is completed, the soft mask is popped. This operation moves the soft mask buffer into the mask buffer of the parent transparency group. When that transparency group is popped, it should be composed with its parent layer, while being adjusted with the soft mask buffer values. If there was never a transparency group that was popped following the soft mask, then the soft mask would not be applied. The solution to this issue involved changes in pdfdraw.ps that forced the creation of a transparency group when one had not yet been created if a soft mask push was to occur. When this extra group is popped, the soft mask will then be applied. The PDF interpreter knows that a SMask exists in the ExtGstate when 'SoftMask' is not null. Since the ExtGState elements are part of the top dict, the 'begin' .. 'end' part of the 'q' and 'Q' operators, respectively, take care of keeping the SoftMask current. When a transparency group is executed, the SoftMask is set to null since the SMask saved in the pdf14 'maskbuf' element will be applied during the blending when the transparency group is popped.
Soft masks are now drawn in the specified group color space. Previously, the soft mask was drawn in the target device color space and then the K channel for the CMYK case or the R channel for the RGB case were used as the soft mask luminance channel. Now the mapping from the DeviceRGB or DeviceCMYK to a luminance component is performed as specified by the PDF specification. If the color space is CIE based, the base device space is used. This CIE case does not follow the PDF specification but does follow what occurs with Acrobat Reader. Previously the code carried around the soft mask buffer as an RGB or CMYK buffer. It is now represented by a gray buffer.
Transparency groups: Color space changes for transparency groups are now followed. Previously, the target device color space was always used for blending. Now the proper color space is used, with the exception of ICC and other CIE based spaces. For those spaces the base device color space is used. The ICC and CIE based spaces will be addressed when the ICC branch is merged. Changing the current code to do forward and backward mappings with the ICC color spaces is beyond the work scope of the smask_work branch. In the presence of nested transparency groups, the parent color space can be different than the child color space. When the child is popped, its contents are now converted from the child’s color space to the parent’s color space. Note that if the output device is a separation device, the transparency group color space is ignored and the blending is performed amongst the channels, which can be numerous if there are many spot colors. Also note that for soft mask groups, the alternate tint transform is always used for spot colors.
To achieve these fixes, a number of changes besides those already mentioned above were required. These include:
A dynamic update of the pdf14 device colorinfo value based upon the color space of the current transparency group. This information is used often in deciding how to encode and decode the color data. In the case of the clist writer and reader, the code often ends up forwarding certain operations to the target device in which case we no longer would have the colorinfo of the pdf14 device. The solutions to this problem required the addition of a clist_color_info member value to the clist writer device. This value is updated in the same manner that the pdf14 device will be updated during the clist reader phase thereby ensuring the proper color information is written and read. Also required was the addition of a trans_device item to the imager state. This was needed due to the fact that the clist writer forwards its fill path command to the target device. In the shading code, if we have a DeviceN color space we eventually get back to pdf14_cmap functions, assuming we have a RGB or CMYK target device. These cmap functions should make use of the clist device to map to the proper blending color space NOT the target device color space. In the current code, the cmap functions can only see the target device and the imager state hence the solution to add trans_device to the imager state. This is only used during clist writing and assigned during the clist writers PDF14 fill path at which point it is assigned the address of the clist writer device. During the PDF14 cmap functions, if the trans_device is not NULL in the imager state we use that device's color mapping procs instead of the target device color mapping procs. In this approach, we maintain access to the transparency group color space and its procedures through the imager state. Finally, shading fills should NOT occur in the device color space when we are within a transparency group with a different color space. To avoid this issue a boolean named has_transparency was added to the imager state. Now if we find that we are in a transparency group during the shading fills, then the is_linear_color_applicable operation will return a false and the target color space is not used for blending.
To maintain the changing pdf14 color space information in the presence of nested groups, parent_color_info_procs was added to the already nested pdf14_buf_s where the new pdf14_parent_color_t contains the information related to the parent’s color space. This handles the nesting of color information for the clist reader. For the clist writer, pdf14buf is always NULL. For this case, a pointer to a pdf14_parent_t was added to pdf14_device_s. A stack was created and the color information is pushed on and popped off the stack as the transparency groups are pushed and popped during the clist writer phase.
Changes were also required in pdfdraw.ps to handle the case when a transparency group does NOT define a color space. In this case, the parent’s group color space (or the target device color space if we are at the first level) should be used.
In the presence of a monochrome target device, the previous code PDF14 device was still pushing an RGB buffer initially. This is now changed and a monochrome buffer is created.
There was much confusion in the code relating to the number of colors, separations, spot colors, and process colors. This became clear when looking at a file that had over 100 colorants. GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS defines the max number of different colors that we currently encode. This should include both the process colors and the spot colors. Many parts of the code looked at these colors differently. Some portions of the code treated the number of spot colors and/or separations as having a range to GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS, while other parts include the process color AND the spot colors in that range. The changes here ensure that GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS defines the max number for all process and spot colors.
The current code did not recognize patterns with transparency in PDF. Now, the presence of transparency in a pattern is detected. If a transparency component is found, the pdf14 compositor is installed.
Finally, pdf_draw.ps was modified so that when an image is encountered with a softmask (/doimagesmask) AND the output device is pdfwrite then we do avoid the DoImage that is used to fill the softmask buffer for the pdf14 device. The pdfwrite device will obtain the maskdata as part of image3x. Previously, the mask image was at times being placed in-line for the pdfwrite device during the DoImage that is associated with storing the softmask buffer in the pdf14device. In the old flow, the SMask image was effectively being processed twice.

Fix (colour) : Ensure /UseCIEColor sets for initial space correctly.
Details
bug #690432 "/UseCIEColor not working with default colour space"
The change to process colour and colour space in C instead of in PostScript overlooked
code in gs_setpd.ps which interacts badly with an optimisation.
The optimisation skips changing colour space if its the same as the current space. But
if /UseCIEColor has changed value we must not skip the change. This was achieved
previously by only skipping the change if UseCIEColor was false, and setting the space
to something other than DeviceGray in gs_setpd.ps.
We take advantage of the same trickery by always setting the space to something other
than DeviceGray in gs_setpd.ps, in the knowledge that initgraphics will switch the
current space back to DeviceGray. Because the spaces don't match we will process the
change, getting the correct result for UseCIEColor.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Work aroung wrong numGlyphs.
DETAILS :
Patch and log supplied by Leonardo.
Bug 690047 "Incorrect cmap generated by pdfwrite".
If a source True Type font defines numGlyphs lesser then
the actually defined number of glyphs,
the old code writes an incorrect True Type header with
wrong offsets to subtables.
Since in nowadays the number of glyphs may be increased
due to font merging, we decided to write the extended subtables
with a bigger number of glyphs. See comments in code.
See enlarged_numGlyphs and related code portions.
The original numGlyphs is kept unchanged for easier debugging.
For an easier debugging added checks into psf_write_truetype_data
for comparing actual subtable offsets with ones written
into the True Type header. The new structure subtable_positions
works for that.
Also improved a printing in gs_type42_font_init.
The old code can print occasional garbage beyond the font name end.

Fix for crash on 18-02B in clist code. The clist cbuf (on the stack) would
write past the end of the buffer are polluting the next varaible on the
stack (data_bits). Fixes 690399.
DETAILS:
This problem was introduced with r8712 (leonardo). The return value for
gx_dc_pattern_read_raster should be the number of bytes consumed, but in some
(rare) cases it would return 0, causing a later contamination of a byte past the
end of a buffer on the stack, polluting another value. The effect would be
dependent on the 'endian-ness' since only one byte was overwritten.
Also 'protection' for this condition was added in top_up_cbuf to prevent
future problems.

Fix (ps2epsi): rounding problems calculating bbox.
Details:
Bug #688500 "ps2epsi produces too-narrow bounding box (2)".
Text and linework rendered at low resolution can differ by a few pixels from
that rendered at higher resolution because of serifs, miters etc. The ps2epsi
script rendered the job at low resolution and used that both to calculate the
bounding box, as well as for the epsi preview. This could lead to small errors
if the job was re-rendered at a higher resolution
The new approach is to use the bbox device in Ghostscript to calculate a more
accurate bounding box. This has meant altering the scripts for all the
operating systems.
Also, the ps2epsi.bat file did not work correctly under Windows Vista. A
new 'cat.ps' file has been added to gs/lib. This uses the %infile% and
%outfile% environment variables and concatenates the two files together.
This only affects the Windows batch file.
Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect handling of short images with subsampling.
Details:
bug #690350 "Conversion to pdf of a color pcl file generated by pjxl300
gsview 4.9 driver"
The PCL file consists of a single large image covering the page. However,
the PCL interpreter calls 'process_zero_rows' (rtraster.c) which has the
side effect (sometimes at least) of closing the image and restarting it.
Pdfwrite already has code to handle a short image like this, it replaces
the image dictionary /Height value with the number of rows of data
actually received. However, if subsampling is enabled, this can be
incorrect, some of the rows of received data may have been discarded.
Altered pdf_end_image_binary to check if subsampling is taking place and
if it is to calculate the subsample factor and divide the number of rows
of data received by the subsample factor before storing as the new /Height.

Enhancement (pdfwrite) : Allow pdfwrite to produce multiple copies of pages. New flag
'DoNumCopies' added.
Details
Bug #690355 : "pdfwrite ignores the "#copies" setting in PostScript input"
The pdfwrite device follows the behaviour of Acrobat Distiller and ignores the /#copies
and /NumCopies settings in PostScript. This is at least partly because these can't be
expected to work properly with Destination annotations specifying a page as the
destination (eg Link or Outline annotations).
However CUPS (and potentially other PDF workflow applications) may have no way of
determining that application-produced PostScript requires multiple copies to be
printed, after the file has been converted to PDF.
For the benefit of such applications a new flag 'DoNumCopies' has been added, if
present then pdfwrite will duplicate each page in the output as many times as the
/#copies or /NumCopies current setting.
There is currently no provision for reordering the pages, the duplicates follow the
original immediately in page order.
Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect handling of type 1 counter control hints.
Details:
bug #690349 "corrupt PDF is generated out of PostScript-file with asian fonts"
When converting type 1 outlines to type 2 outlines, we were not catering for
OtherSubrs 12 or 13 (counter control hints) in the first pass over the font.
These operators take a large number of arguments, and these were being left
on the font operand stack. This quickly resulted in a stack overflow and an
invalidfont error. We now remove the operands from the stack when we encounter
them.
In addition, the code for writing CIDFontType0 fonts which called the conversion
routine was not checking the return value, and carried on trying to embed the font
anyway.

DETAILS :
Patch and Log supplied by Leonardo.
Bug 689610 "Possible /NeverEmbed vs /AlwaysEmbed problem"
The root of the problem is that (1) empty arrays did not work,

In the old code, PS and C parts of "embed" parameters implementation
are inconsistent each to another and to the documentation. Replacing both with the
right logic defined in the Adobe Distiller Parameters specification.
The comment in gdevpsdp.c line 81 is kept as the basic interface definition.
Note: in the old code param_read_embed_array could not distinguish empty array from
no array, but it is important for the Adobe logic.

Fix (fonts): PaintType 2 fonts not working.
Details:
bug #689826 "FT_BRIDGE crashes with CID fonts"
The initial problem is that a required table, TT_cmap, was NULL, and was not tested
by the CID decoding module before attempting to use it.
Further investigation revealed a fair number of problems surrounding this are. The
problems stem from the use of a native TrueType font on disk to replace a CIDFont (not
from an actual CIDFont as the summary suggests). When using a CIDFont the character
code is mapped to a CID using the CMap and the CID is directly used to extract the
glyph program from the font's CharStrings dictionary.
With a TrueType font that is not sufficient, TrueType fonts use Glyph IDs (GID) and
have a completely different method of mapping the encodings. We attempt to handle this
by converting the CID to a Unicode value, and then use the TT Unicode CMAP subtable to
convert the Unicode value to a GID.
With GS' own font handling this works, because we extract the CMAP subtable and carry
it around in the font. WHen using FreeType this is not done, and so the conversion
fails.
Modified the FAPI interface to create a new method 'check_cmap_for_glyph' which will
allow us to interrogate the TT CMAP subtable from the FAPI server. Copied sections of
CID decoding from zcid.c to zfapi.c in order to perform the same checks as our own
code and use the correct Unicode value.
Fix (fonts): PaintType 2 fonts not working.
Details:
bug #690343 "Fonts with PaintType 2 (outline) not working with FreeType bridge"
The FAPI code seems to assume that it will always get an 'e_limitcheck' error when no
raster is available. This seems to be true for glyphs too large to cache, but is not
the case when the font is intended to be an outline. In this case there is no raster,
but the error return is not e_limitcheck.
Rather than rely on an error value, modified the code so that if the font has a
non-zero PainType, we assume that we only have an outline.

Let pdftoraster CUPS filter not be build with CUPS < 1.2 and allow suppressing build of pdftoraster via command line option (needed for Mac OS X).
Look for the 'cmap' table in the font dictionary and use it when mapping
a cid to a character code when using the FAPI bridge.
This replaces a segfault with an invalid font error. Bug 689826.
Details:
This clause in FAPI_do_char() was explicitly calling
cid_to_TT_charcode() with a NULL TT_cmap argument, which that function
dereferenced, causing a segfault. As far as Ken and I can tell, that
function can't do anything useful without the cmap table from the
underlying font, so it makes the most sense the resolve the segfault
this way.
However, the ps library code doesn't set this key in the font
dictionary, so for now this just replaces the segfault with an
/invalidfont in --.FAPIBuildGlyph-- error. We could continue
silently by ignoring the mapping if the cmap isn't available down
in TT_char_code_from_CID_no_subst() in which case that font just
would not render as part of the document. We expect to fix this on
the postscript side, so I felt this was a better course for now.

Fix (colour): Faulty error handling
Details:
bug #690312 "gs stalls, never returns on attached figure"
The job causes the 'base' (Gray, RGB, CMYK) colour code to be executed with a completely
full stack, which causes a stackoverflow because this routine needs to push the colour
space name onto the operand stack.
However, the operand stack wasn't being checked until after the continuation procedure
had been pushed onto the execution stack, so after the error handling, we returned to
the continuation procedure, but without an appropriate operand stack. This caused a
loop to run without bounds.
Fixed by checking the operand stack beforesetting up the execution stack for the
continuation and aborting if it is full. Desk checking revealed another potential case
of the same problem, fixed in the same patch.

Change the maxval value for pkm and pkmraw files from 1 to 255.
Details:
Some programs (notably Adobe Photoshop through at least CS4) do not
correctly read PPM files that have a maxval!=255, displaying them
as all black (technically not entirely black, but with pixels set
to 0 or 1).
This change causes Ghostscript to set maxval to 255 and scale the
output bitmap to 0..255. Because PBM doesn't pack pixels in the
PPM raw format the output file size will not change; PPM files will
up to double in size (previously each pixel used 6 bytes, "1 1 1 ",
now each pixel uses up to 12 bytes, "255 255 255 ").

Update the msvc build of the freetype bridge for the new link scheme.
This commmit fixes some errors in the earlier untested update. In addition, the earlier FT_LIB (singular) makefile variable is resurrected for the msvc build only. It is necessary because the freetype project file embeds the release number of build variant in the library filename. If FT_LIB is not set it defaults to the multi-threaded debug build of the 2.3.8 release. Obviously this should be changed when building a binary for release, or against a different version of the freetype library.

Replace the hardcoded reference to the FreeType library subpaths with a
more direct specification of compile and link flags.
The msvc build is untested.
Details:
Previously, the top level makefile was supposed to define a path to the
freetype source directory, along with the platform-specific library
filename extension. From this the ft bridge makefile section generated
specific references for include paths and the library. This only worked
with a specific version of the library.
This commit removes the variable for passing the library extension,
and relies on the top-level makefile to provide the link commands,
passed in the FT_LIBS variable. Such link commands are generally
platform-specific anyway, so FT_LIB_EXT was redundant. Likewise,
the include path specifiers must be part of the FT_CFLAGS variable.
Previously, FT_LIBS was called FT_LIB. We generally use _LIB for a
single library name. Having the plural LIBS is more common for an
actual link command, which may include flags and other libraries
which are dependencies. This variable is used in the second way.
The build documentation is also updated to reflect the new scheme,
and mention the incremental font support, which seems to be disabled
in most builds.

Update freetype includes to the currently recommended scheme.
Details:
In freetype2, the recommended method of including the headers is to
include <ft2build.h>, depending on a -I line on the compiler's command
line to select the particular location for this, usually something like
$(INCLUDE_DIR)/freetype/
This header defines macros which expand to includes for particular
features, depending on how the particular freetype instance being
built is configured.
This means that we can't have explicit dependencies on the headers we
use, so those references are also removed. This has a side effect of
making it much easier to link with a system version of freetype.
However, the fapi_ft bridge requires freetype's incremental fonts
feature, which seems not to be enabled by default.

Fix (TrueType interpreter): Ignore a 'faulty font' condition
Details:
bug #689760 "Missing characters: Failed to interpret TT instructions"
The font in question is technically invalid. The problem occurs in function 1 of the
FPGM table:
00069: PUSHB[2] 0 21
00072: JMPR
00073: ABS
00074: DUP
00075: ROLL
00076: RCVT
00077: DUP
00078: ROLL
00079: SUB
00080: ABS
00081: PUSHB[1] 50
00083: LT
00084: IF
00085: SWAP
00086: EIF
00087: POP
00088: ROUND[Black]
00089: PUSHB[1] 64
00091: MAX
00092: ENDF
The JMPR (jump relative) instruction is intended to resume execution at the ENDF
instruction, but the number of bytes is miscounted, falling of the end of the function.
I suspect some TT interpreters catch this by spotting the fact that the IP is past the
end of the function.
We don't seem to be able to check if we've fallen off a function, because we don't store
function lengths, so this code works around the problem by checking the opcode after we
apply the JMPR but befopre resuming execution. If the opcode is *not* ENDF, but the
preceding opcode was, assume that we have a counting problem, and move the IP back one
instruction.
Also applied the same work around to JROT and JROF instructions.

Fix (TrueType interpreter): Ignore a 'faulty font' error
Details:
bug #689471 "Error in Processing Type42 Charstrings"
The font in question is missing a glyph in the GLYF table, which is used
as a component by a composite glyph. A later instruction then tries to access
a non-existent point (probably defined in the missing component), which causes
an error.
FreeType 1 and 2 both ignore this error unless pedantic_hinting is set, other
TrueType interpreters behave similarly.
Modified the code in Ins_MIAP to ignore errors of this type, and continue.

Move some components of the freetype bridge to the interpreter source
directory.
These should have been put there in the source tree reorganization.
Make the font cache determinstic.
Details:
Previously the font cache order was based on the value of the pair
pointer. On some (most?) computers this resulted in the cache being
filled in a deterministic way but not on the the cluster used for
regression testing. The cache fill order is important because it
affects which entries are removed when the cache is full which
matters because re-rendered glyphs can differ from the cached
rendering (a separate bug, 690281, has been opened for this issue).
Fixes bugs 690232 and 690233.

A specific test in 'show_set_scale' disabled oversampling of text if it was

in text, even when it is rotated or skewed, so this test has been removed.
Also removed the compile-time option to not cache rotated glyphs by removing the

Protect some printf-like calls in the pcl3 output device from spurious
format specifiers. This eliminates a security-related gcc warning.
Details:
I believe the previous code was actually safe. However, this approach is
more robust. If any of the string buffers passed to errprintf() happened
to contain a format specifier (like %d) an out of bounds stack reference
could result.
This allows the default build to complete with -Werror=format-security,
which the Mandriva linux distribution is reported to be using.
Have gs_throw_code() print the corresponding error string literally to
avoid interpretation of spurious format specifiers. This removes a
security-related gcc warning.
Details:
The previous code was safe. gs_(re)throw_code() called gs_errstr() to
convert the code to a printable string, and these contain no format
specifiers. However, the new method is more robust, and allows
compilation with -Werror=format-security which Madriva is reportedly
using by default.

New feature (pswrite): Center pages on output, new switch -dCenterPages
Details:
bug #690100 "Enhancement request: create centered output when reading PDF"
Added a new switch to the collection of media handling controls supported by ps2write. The new CenterPages switch will center the output image on the media, regardless of the size of the media (if the output is larger than the media it will be truncated, but the image will still be centered on the media).
This switch is compatible with the RotatePages control, but not with SetPageSize or FitPages. Like the other switches it can be set as an argument to ps2write when creating a PostScript file (which fixes the result) or it can be supplied to the consuming interpreter in some fashion.
Updated ps2ps2.htm with the new details.
Fix (pdfwrite): Limit on CIDFont size too low
Details:
bug #688736 "ps2pdf does not work on these files"
The 'remaining' issue in these files is the 'error -15' problem. This is caused when writing out a subset CIDFont, and the subset grows to be a large font in its own right.
The way that CFF fonts are written, there is interaction between certain parts. The offset of various tables depends on the size of the Top Dict, but the Top Dict contains the offsets of the CharStrings and the CharSet, so its size is partially dependent on those offsets....
The code in psf_write_cid0_font() initially assigns large values (0x7fffff) to the offsets, then iterates over the data quickly converging on a suitable size of offset, which allows calculation of the Top Dict.
The problem was that 0x7fffff was too small for the offset of the Font Dict, (which comes after the CharStrings) if the CharStrings table was very large (~8MB). While this is probably adequate in 'real life', because its unlikely a real job would contain so many different glyphs, it is simple to solve by increasing the original 'guess' from 0x7fffff to 0x1ffffff (~32MB), which should be enough for any font.

Bump version number and product name after the 8.64 release.
Fix broken bbox device caused by the 'fillpage' commit of rev 9288. This
resolves bug 690260 and other cases where the bbox was all 0's.
DETAILS:
When the 'RECT_IS_PAGE' check was removed, the BBOX_INIT_BOX function was
invoked unconditionally MUCH too often, leading to an empty bbox (0's)
which also caused the x11 device to not update many areas from the under-
lying image24 buffer to the screen. The 'BBOX_INIT_BOX' should only be
needed when the params change the geometry or when 'fillpage' is done.

Version 8.64 (2009-02-02)
This is the fifth scheduled release in the stable Ghostscript 8.6x
series.
Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release.
Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and
spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF
and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and
support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents.
Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing
modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and
support for using the system's default paper size on unix.
The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from
PostScript code to C.
A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been
updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several
long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution
and paper tray selection.
The following bugs were
open at the time of the last release:
In this release the C source files have been split into two new
directories. Interpreter source files are now in psi and the
graphics library and output devices are now in base. Previously
everything was in src. This may cause problems with existing
references in external build files or when applying patches generated
against an older version.
The compiled in font set in Resource/Fonts has been updated to the
version from the 8.11 release. This is the same set which was
recommended prior to the 8.63.

GS_LIB is set in the Windows registery by the installer, but it does not
currently install a duplicate copy of the Resource tree in the

to use it for Resource lookup to the exclusion of the %rom% version, and

Fix for Segfault with tiffsep devics when a file has more than 64 spot colors
and uses transparency. Clean up indentations to C-style. Problem seen with
Bug 690157.
DETAILS:
The number of channels needed in the pdf14 device is one greater than the
number of separations, to allow for the alpha channel (gxblend.h) and the
'comps' variable needs to be at a gx_color_index size to avoid truncation.
Note that the output from tiffsep and psdcmyk is still incorrect -- there
is a gray background in the black channel that is not expected. Also, the
color swatches defined as Alternate colors do not appear in the output,
only the Separations and the device (process) colors.
Also note that this does not address comment #5 from bug 690157 since the

Revision 8951 missed an important part of the fix for pswrite, emitting a %%PageBoundingBox for each

Fix (pswrite): %%BoundingBox comment geenration
(ps2write): media selection and %%BoundingBox generation
Details:
bug #690236 "Ghostscript is not able to convert PDF to PostScript
maintaining the input document's page sizes"
The pswrite bug is actually in the consuming applications, which are unable to
process the media selection requests in the pswrite output and instead use DSC
comments to select the media. pswrite attempts to use the bbox deice to generate a
%%BoundingBox comment, but because this is a high-level device, no marks are made, so
the BoundingBox is 0 0 0 0.
Fixed by using the media size instead if this case is detected.
ps2write did not generate a %%BoundingBox, or any other DSC comment at all, because it
does not produce DSC PostScript (there is a request to address this already #690064).
Also the media selection in the ps2write output is disabled by default, forcing users
to find some means to set particular keys in userdict on the target device.
Fixed by emitting a %%BoundingBox equal to the media size of the first page (NB as
this is not DSC, other pages will be selected incorrectly if this is all the
application uses). Also allow the use of the /SetPageSize, /RotatePages and /FitPages
keys during ps2write processing to emit a PostScript file with these keys already
set, thus allowing media selection to take place without further user intervention.

Fix (pdfwrite): Invalid metadata for PDF/A output
Details:
bug #690046 "Ghostscript doesn't produce valid PDF/A-1B files"
Now that we have an example file, the remaining issues are resolved:
1) The recommended tags for font metadata in the ISO spec are not present in the XMP schema, resulting in Acrobat preflight complaining. Distiller does not (and never has, apparently) write font metadata for PDF/A files, and the spec says only that files 'should' contain metadata. For now we disable writing font metadata to match Distiller.
2) When converting TrueType fonts into CIDFonts, for PDF/A compatability, we must also write a CIDSet resource. The code was creating and initialising a table containing an explicit 256 entries, but the CIDSet resource was writing as many entries as there are glyphs in the base font. If this was larger we wrote uninitialised data to the CIDSet. Altererd to create and initialise a table the size of the number of glyphs in the base font.

Fix (pdfwrite): Invalid metadata for PDF/A output
Details:
bug #690046 "Ghostscript doesn't produce valid PDF/A-1B files"
This does not, unfortunately, address some of the issues raised in the bug report,
without a sample PostScript file to work from these cannot currently be addressed.
However, there were significant problems with the XMP metadata being written:
1) The rdf attribute 'about' has changed, it is no longer recommended to use a UUID,
it should be left empty or formatted as a URI. Altered to empty.
2) The Adobe parser does not like mix and match of attributes and properties, if we
are setting properties, we can't use (at least some) attributes.
3) The preferred schema namespace prefix for the XMP basic schema is now 'xmp' not
'xap'.
4) Date syntax was incorrect for GMT. XMP specifies *either* 'Z' *or* +/-hh:mm. We
were writing 'Z00:00' (that is, both alternatives).
Also added support for the /Subject and /Keywords elements of the Document Info
dictionary, if these are present, as per the patch from Florian Haenel.

Fix for overprinting with transparency. This fixes bugs related to the lack of overprint support when there is transparency present in the file.
DETAILS: Previously if a sep device is used when processing a file that contains both transparency and overprinting, the overprinted colors would blow away the other sep colors. In this commit, there was one fix to improper geometry in pfd14_cmykspot_put_image. The remaining changes involved 1) passing overprint compositor actions to the pdf14 device, which occurs during the clist reading phase (in pdf14_create_compositor) 2) adding over_print and overprint mode to the pdf14 clist parameters (this follows the same process that is currently done for text knockout, blend mode etc) and 3) adding the actual fill support in pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES: In the regression tests Bug688631.pdf and Bug690206.pdf will have slight differences due to the blending of spot colors when the color space is subtractive. This matches what is seen in AR.

Fix (PDF Interpreter): Default Unicode decoding clashing with ToUnicode CMap
Details:
bug #690190 "Problem with -dProvideUnicode"
The ProvideUnicode switch creates a (read only) default Unicode decoding resource, presumably to use as a default ToUnicode Cmap when creating PDF files.
This interferes with PDF files which contain a real ToUnicode CMap, as the resource is read only and so cannot be updated with the content of the ToUnicode CMap.
Fixed by checking to see if the GlyphNamesToUnicode dictionary is writeable, and if it is not, creating a new one, when processing a ToUnicode CMap.

Fix (pdfwrite): Missing glyphs in CIDFont causing errors.
Details:
Bug #690139: "Regression: Error writing PDF file: Missing glyph CID=0 in Bug689614.pdf".
When we find that a string in a PDF file uses a glyph which is not present in the current CIDFont we substitute the .notdef glyph (CID=0). However, if we do not have a width for the .notdef (this is the first missing glyph) we proceed to get one, and then attempt to run the CDevProc for the font.
This, unfortunately, attempts to use the original (missing) glyph, and so fails with a rangecheck error. Added a check to catch this condition and skip the CDevProc and caching.
Also improved the error message slightly.

Fix (garbager) : Wrong object marks when the object is freed by a garbager callback.
DETAILS :
Debugged on Vista x64 with running a 32 bits debug build of revision 9299
with this command line :
..\..\gs-hd\bin\gswin32c.exe -IF:\AFPL\gs-hd\Resource\Init;f:\afpl\fonts -Z$?@ -r300
-dMaxBitmap=1000000 -dNOOUTERSAVE -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=out.ppm -dBATCH
-dNOPAUSE "H:\AuxFiles\CompareFiles\084-01.ps"
1. The main change (gsalloc.c) :
The bug persists since the repository was created.
When an object is freed after the garbager marking phase and before the
relocation phase, the heap consistency check misrecognizes it
as a free object pointed from an useful object. It happens because
the smark field was left unchanged ("marked") but the object status
changed to 'freed', which must be unmarked.
In the test case such thing happens when a names subtable is freed
with this stack :
i_free_object() Line 721
name_free_sub() Line 541
name_scan_sub() Line 582
names_trace_finish() Line 416
gs_gc_reclaim() Line 371
The patch resets the mark whenever i_free_object is called,
so that any freed object automatically becomes unmarked.
We could do it more delicate with checking whether a garbager
is on stack with a new special flag in gs_ref_memory_t,
but we don't see enough reasons for such complex check.
2. Minor change (igc.c) :
Provide a right operand when gs_abort is called from
gc_objects_set_reloc. The old code crashed due to dereferencing NULL.

Fix (pdfwrite): Image with SMask fails when inside transparency group.
Details:
Bug #690139: "Regression: pdfwrite creates empty file".
The PDF Interpreter internally surrounds SMask images with an extra transparency group definition. If emitted to PDF this is invalid and causes Acrobat to complain. This was fixed in revision 6878 (bug 688767) by adding an extra parameter 'Image_with_SMask' to the dictionary.
The pdfwrite code checks for the existence of this in the group, and if present (and true) skips the transparency group begin. It also sets a flag in the device, to skip the end of the group as well.
However, the flag is only reset when a new transparency group is begun. If the SMask was nested inside a group then the flag remained set, causing the 'end' for all enclosing groups to be skipped as well. This caused empty output or, in extreme cases, a 'rangecheck' error in discardtransparencygroup, because we overflowed an internal stack.
We now set the device flag to false after we have skipped an end group.

Fix (pdfwrite): DSC comments interfering with Page Tree Orientation.
Details:
Bug #689922 "Rotation issues with pdfwrite and multiple operations".
When writing out a PDF file, pdfwrite adds /Rotate keys to individual pages, and if the document is gnerally rotated (eg landscape) will set a /Rotate key in the pages treee. This causes all pages which do not have their own value to inherit this as a default.
Unfortunately, the page tree code uses the same logic as the individual page, whch honours DSC '%%Orientation' and '%%ViewingOrientation' comments. If the last file processed contained one of these, this would become the default for all pages, regardless of their actual orientation. This would cause pages to be inappropriately rotated.
Fixed by clearing the DSC information before writing the orientation for the page tree, by this time all the pages that require it have already been written with their own value.

Bug 690195, customer 770.
Fix: Problem with /DeviceN [/All].
Details:
Bug #690177 "Separation names become operator names.".
/DeviceN [/All] is technically illegal, but is allowed by Acrobat. We convert this to a /Separation /All colour space for compatibility. An error in the processing of this kind of space led to a string object being used in place of a name object to create the named space.
This led to 'peculiar' plate names instead of 'All', which caused no problems when rendering to CMYK (the alternate is used and sets all inks). However if rendering to a device with additional spot plates not alll plates would be marked as they should be for a /All space. Also pdfwrite produced incorrectly named plates in the output PDF file.

Enhancement (pdfwrite): Add support for the fillpage method.
Details:
The new fillpage device method can be used to detect occurences of erasepage more reliably (and probably more cheaply in performance terms) than the previous checks in the fill_rectangle methods.

Enhancement (graphics) : Implement new device virtual method 'fillpage'.
DETAILS :
The new method improves the handling of 'erasepage' and 'fillpage'
for high level devices, bbox device. Also it is a preparation for
optimizing 'erasepage' for printer devices as for bug 690131.
When erasing a page, the old code passes fill_rectangle through
the device interface. However some devises need to recognize it
as a special high level operation and distinguish from an usual
rectangle filling. The old code implemented some trics for that.
This patch replaces the tricks with a strong logic for bbox device.
The pdfwrite device to be improved separately.
The old function gx_fillpage is now splitted into two parts,
one of which works before the device interface, and another one
after it. The second one looks as a default implementation
for the 'fillpage' device virtual method. Forwarding devices
implement new function gx_forward_fillpage.

DETAILS :
This is a further improvement for the bug 690133
"Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi".
Also it is a preparation for a partial fix for the bug 690131 "Optimize consecutive setpagedevice".
The last partch wrongly distributed the saved pattern id for all bands
when writing a non-pattern color to all bands.
We believe it never happens the current revision with reasonable banding settings,
but fix fix it for code consistency and for avoiding problems
with further revisions.

"Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi".
Also it is a preparation for a partial fix for the bug 690131 "Optimize consecutive setpagedevice".
This patch passes the coverage rectangle of a graphic element
for a better computation in cmd_put_drawing_color of the size

with copying to all covered bands.
When we need to force writing to all bands,
we pass a NULL instead the coverage rectangle.
Fix (pdfwrite): Fonts with unusual FontMatrix generating incorrect FontBBox.
Details:
bug #689879 "wrong FontBBox in PDF file"
Fonts other than type 3 may not have a FontMatrix in PDF, these fonts are assumed to be on a 1000x1000 design grid. Most fonts already are, and embedded TrueType fonts are already catered for, but some unusual fonts have a non-standard (not [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0]) FontMatrix. The matrix is accounted for when scaling the font, so the Tf operator is correct in the page content stream, but the FontBBox was calculated using the unscaled glyph outline.
We now scale the font outline into a 1000x1000 design grid before calculating the bounding box, so that the FontBBox entry will be correct.

Fix (pdfwrite): Tidy up code.
Details:
Tidy up some code for bug #690118; When writing TrueType hmtx/vmtx, define a new function put_short which is functionally identical to put_ushort but doesn't truncate the sign bit. Use this instead of put_ushort when the value to be written may be negative. Add 0.5 to the floating point calculations and floor() the result so that we get the nearest approximation to the float when writing out the short.
A small number of files exhibit a number of single pixel differences in position or rendering of glyphs with this change. In all cases comparing the rendered result of the new PDF file with the rendered result of the original file shows no differences, so I consider these to be progressions.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Avoid extra erasepage, part 1.
DETAILS :
This is the first partial fix for the
bug 690131 "Optimize consecutive setpagedevice".
The PDF interpreter calls extra setpagedevice for initializing the number of spot colors.
First it happens in pdfshowpage_setpage, and we merge that call
with another one that sets other multiple page parameters.
Second in pdfshowpage_finish we replace it with .setpagedevice,
which doesn't call .postinstall that calls erasepage.

Fix for weird math issue under AIX that cause problems in glpyh spacing when
writing type42 fonts for ps2write and pdfwrite.
This fixes bug 690118.
Details:
For reasons that I don't undertand under AIX (ushort) (double * double)
produces a 0 if the first double is > -1 and < 0 (and the sum is < -1).
Presumably the cast happens before the multiplication, but this isn't
reasonable and doesn't occur on other operating systems, even running
the same version of gcc. Temporarily assigning the sum to a float and
then casting to a ushort resolves the problem.
The temporary assignment should be removed by the optimizer, so there
shouldn't be a performance hit (I did check, the optimized code is still
correct under AIX).

Fix (pdfwrite): regression with type 3 fonts using show charpath stroke combinations.
Details:
bug #690196 "regression: file for bug 689687"
The recent changes for text rendering modes caused a regression with Quark's type 3 font for special text effects, when optimising a show followed by charpath stroke into a single 'Tj' with a text rendering mode of 2 in the resulting PDF file.
Fixed by ceasing to treat type 3 fonts specially and applying the same optimisation as for other font types. A couple of other Quark files exhibit very small differences, comparing these to the rendered output of the original files the new result seems closer to the original. (ie a progression)
Also resolved a compiler warning.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued 3).
DETAILS :
Bug 690133 "Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi".
When filling a path with a pattern, the old code
stores the pattern to all bands that are covered with the path.
If the pattern is represented with a long clist,
it consumes too big memory for the page clist.
If the pattern is big, the new code writes it
to the "all bands" list instead replicating it to bands.
Therefore the overall memory is smaller.
The decision about storing a pattern to "all bands"
should also depend on the number of bands.
This patch doesn't account that because current data flows
don't pass the number of bands to the point where
the decision must be taken. It may need a further improvement.
The threshold for "big" pattern is arbitrary set to 1Mb.
It may need an improvement also. It's another threshold
than one for representing a pattern as a raster or a clist.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This patch is important for the bug Bug 690133
"Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi",
but it is not restricted with its case.
When writing a pattern color to a band,
the old code uses the "saved color" structure
for remembering which color has been stored for the band.
In the case of pattern it stores the client's pattern id.
However it doesn't provide enough resolution because
a client's pattern may be instantiated with various CTMs.
The new code uses the pattern tile id to distinguish the pattern instances.
We're not sure why saved color structure stores the client's pattern id only.
It should be so for pdfwrite, but need to check whether other
cases are possible. Therefore the current change is kind of hackish.
See comment in code.

Fix (pdfwrite): Large type 1 or 2 fonts caused errors with text.
Details:
bug #690144 "Files render properly with gs, but are misformatted in ps2pdf"
Revision 8235 added support to pdfwrite for type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 (CFF) descendant fonts, emitting these as subsets of the original instead of rendering the glyphs and embedding type 3 fonts with bitmap images. This results in better quality and smaller files.
However type 1 or 2 fonts which are too large for an arbitrary Ghostscript limit (> 65537 glyphs) can not be copied. This 'should' have fallen back to the old mechanism, but some data had been altered which led to this failing.
The fix for this comprises 3 parts:
1) Mmodified scan_cmap_text to save the data we modify for subsetting, and restore it if pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded fails, which then falls back to the 'default' type 3 mechanism (in case of future problems in this area).
2) Increased the limit of glyphs (for type 1 or 2 fonts) in gs_copy_font. Added a new parameter 'max_reserved_glyphs'. If this is -1 then we reserve enough space for the number of glyphs in the original font. Otherwise we reserve space for the specified maximum. This limit only applies to font type 1 or 2, and is used by pdfwrite to avoid making excessively large font copies.
3) Modified pdf_base_alloc so that if the font is large (and is not one of the standard 13 fonts), we don't allocate a complete copy for our 'subset', we only allocate as many glyphs as will fit in a standard Encoding, 256, plus one for the required .notdef making 257 in total. We also avoid making a second 'complete' copy of the font, because we will never write the complete font.

Fix (pdfwrite): more issues with PDF Text rendering modes.
Details:
Bug #689692 Colour and linewidth is not set correct for text with rendermode STROKE
and FILLSTROKE
Bug #Bug690025 pxlmono driver prints some glyphs as squares when the input is PostScript generated by Ghostscript
This follows on from revision 9196 and further addresses problems with PDF text rendering modes. Fundamentally the problem is that the PDF text matrix (Tm) should not affect the stroke width. However PostScript only has one transformation matrix, so when we get a Tm, the PDF interpreter modifies the CTM accordingly. This alters the (effective) stroke width, resulting in incorrect output.
This patch modifies the CTM before executing a stroke in modes 2 & 6, and for mode 1 modifies the stroke width by calculating what it would have been if the CTM were the identity at the time the text block began. Since pdfwrite emits text in an identity CTM, this corrects the problem.
The pdfwrite code for combining show/charpath/stroke operations into a single text rendering mode has been modified to expect the CTM to be correct, and to utilise it, when emitting the combined operation.
Use the same name (/PDFType3Untitled) for all Type 3 fonts without /FontName
attribute. PDF interpreter doesn't need unique names and the previous attempt
to generate unique names didn't work. Bug 689358.

Fix (CID font emulation) : CID from another writing mode rendered a wrong glyph (part 2).

This log message describes the union of the 2 changes.
This is a second partial fix for Bug 689304
"improper handling of vertical japanese text", related to Comment #30, #31.
When emulating a CID font with an Open Type font, a CID is first
mapped to an OpenType encoding and then to a glyph index.
However OpenType provides same character codes for glyph variants,
which render differently depending on writing mode.
The glyph '(' is an example.
This patch works for OpenType fonts only, which provide a GSUB for vertical
writing mode.
It is not working for True Type collections with no GSUB.
They need a further improvement.
The patch assumes that all interpreters initialize a Type 42 font with
zeroing all its fields.
Postscript interpreter does so since a long ago, but we're not sure about
others.
They may need an improvement.
1. Define a new resource category SubstCID (Resource/Init/gs_ciddc.ps).
2. Provide a tool for generating resources for that category
(toolbin/GenSubstCID).
3. Provide resources for various orderings (Resource/SubstCID/CNS1-WMode,
Resource/SubstCID/GB1-WMode, Resource/SubstCID/Japan1-WMode,
Resource/SubstCID/Korea1-WMode).
4. When loading a TrueType or OpenType font for a CID font emulation,
associate an
appropriate SubstCID resource to it (Resource/Init\gs_cidtt.ps).
(We do associate the resource with TrueType hoping that some
True Type fonts may provide GSUB).
5. Define a new structure gs_subst_CID_on_WMode_s for storing that
information
for the graphics library (base\gxfcid.h), and its garbager descriptor
(base/gsfcid.c).
Since it may duplicate for several fonts, it is shared and
reference-counted.
6. The new function get_subst_CID_on_WMode loads the resource data for the
graphics library
in psi\zfcid1.c . Note it is implemented for PS interpreter only.
7. Generalized gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical with providing a
CID in base/gstype42.c
and made it be a virtual function of gs_font_type42 (base/gxfont42.c).
We're not sure how other interpreters initialize the font, so
we're checking it for NULL for safety and use
gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical
as a default implementation.
8. font11_substitute_glyph_index_vertical is another implementation of that
function, which
accounts gs_subst_CID_on_WMode_s data for providing a right glyph depending
on WMode.
Rather a SubstCID resource provides a substitution, currently
we only use the fact that a CID is substituted, and never use
the substituting CID. Nevertheless we prefer to define and store the
resource
in the complete form for possible improvements in future (zfcid1.c).
9. release_subst_CID_on_WMode automatically releases the resource data
when all fonts (that use it) are released.
10. Added SubstCID to the ROM file system in psi/psromfs.mak .

Remove a duplicate typedef for stream_arcfour_state.
Details:
The duplicate (opaque pointer) typedef in gdevpdfx.h was
redundant and any users that dereferenced members or allocated
the struct on the stack already included sarc4.h.
I believe the idea here was just to hide the structure details
from some hypothetical user of the pdf_crypt api. However, the
stream state structure should either be opaque, with only the
typedef in sarc4.h or it should be public and using it requires
sarc4.h. The duplication isn't justified in either case.
Since stream state structures generally are public so they can
be stack-allocated, we decided to remove the duplicate typedef.
Also adds a missing dependency to the makefile.

Bug #689654 pdfwrite ignores font /PaintType 1
Bug #689692 Colour and linewidth is not set correct for text with rendermode STROKE
and FILLSTROKE
The current implementation of text rendering modes has some problems. I've been able to address most of these in this patch by:
1) Making the charpath detection slightly less picky. This picks up more instances of filled text followed by 'charpath stroke', combining correctly into a PDF text rendering mode.
2) Relaxing the criteria for detecting a Tr mode involving stroking.
3) Removing some spurious scaling, and applying a better scale factor when using stroked fonts (Paint Type 2).
There are still problems with this code, and they are insuperable in the current architecture of pdfwrite/PDF interpreter. Specifically; Text render mode 6 (fill, stroke and clip) doe snot work properly, text which is stroked using a linewidth set outside the text block, and with a non-identity CTM and non-identity text matrix results in incorrect stroke widths.
This will need to be addressed further under bug #688267, which is an enhancement. In the meantime this patch significantly improves the current implementation. Note; bug #689692 is still slightly incorrect with this patch, though improved. Bug #690025 is unchanged (still incorrect).

Fix Floating Point excpetion caused by improper initializer of a private device
structure subclassed (in the klunky C ghostscript fashion) from the gx_device_printers_s
structure. Restructure a macro in base/gdevprn.h to help prevent similar bit rot in the
future. Bug 690122.
DETAILS:
The problem was with devices that use the contrib/lips4/gdevlprn.h header
files. The lp_duplex_device_body_rest_ and lp_device_body_rest_ macros that
initialized the prn_device structure 'common' elements were out of date with
respect to the revision in the gx_device_printer_s structure made for the
multi-threaded rendering. The num_render_threads_requested integer was added.
I restructured the prn_device_body_rest2_ in base/gdevprn.h so that the
contrib/lips4/gdevlprn.h initialization macro could use this to minimize the
likelihood of bit rot in the future.
I did a search for other devices that might have the same problem and did not
find them (although I may have missed them).

Fix for bug 690103. This issue was introduced with r8868 where spatial interpolation in the source color space was introduced. The part that was missing in that commit was to handle the case where we had 8 bit image data that was non CIE based and NOT encoded with [0 1] .
DETAILS:
This patch was tested with forced interpolation on a set of files that are known to have issues with interpolation. It performed properly on those and on the customer's bug file.
The part that was missing in the old code was the case where we have encoded
(not [0 1]) nonindexed 8 bit image data that is not CIE based. For this case,
it was not getting properly decoded prior to interpolation.

Make gx_sort_ht_order() deterministic.
DETAILS:
The gx_sort_ht_order() routine sorts the halftone mask values.
These values are often the same and qsort() does not guarantee the
order of equal elements. However, the order appears to be significant
for the output (differences in the nightly regression are seen on
different computers). And it's also possible that this indeterminism
is part of the cluster regression problem.
This revision sorts equal masks by index value.
DIFFERENCES EXPECTED:
Some of the pbmraw or pkmraw nightly regressions may have minor
differences in the dithering pattern.

Changed decleration of det from float to double in gs_matrix_invert().
DETAILS:
On peeves the results of gs_matrix_invert() change depending on
whether or not compiler optimization is enabled if det is declared

storing the det value so it never get shortened to a float; by
declaring it as a double the unoptimized code should act the same.

Fix (pdfwrite): ICCBased color spaces in input PDF files, /Alternate space converted to
ICCBased in output PDF file.
Details:
Bug #690038 "Regression: ghostscript cannot read ghostscript produced PDF file."
The PDF interpreter always runs with (in effect) /UseCIEColor set to true. This converts
process spaces to CIE color spaces, which are emitted in the PDF as ICCBased color
spaces when using pdfwrite/ps2write.
However, for ICCBased color spaces this caused the /Alternate space of the ICCBased
space to become another ICCBased space, which is legal but silly, and caused the GS PDF
interpreter problems.
Modified the alternate space extraction routines so that they can use the UseCIE flag in
the color handling code to prevent the base space being substituted with a CIE space,
when the parent space is an ICCBased space.
Also discovered in passing that zfsample.c and zfunc4.c use zcolor.h but the makefile
did not have dependencies for them. Fixed.

Fix (PS interpreter): .seticcspace leaving operand on stack.
Details:
Bug #690039 "failure to read ICC profiles generated by
Adobe Photoshop Version 7 and 9".
ICC profiles in PostScript comments are handled by the comment
parsing code in gs_icc.ps, using the .seticcspace operator. After
the recent change to handle colour in 'C' rather than PostScript,
the .seticcspace operator was not removing its argument from the
operand stack.
This led to the comment processing for other purposes (specifically
pdfwrite in this case) generating errors, as the stack had been disturbed.
Altered the 'seticc' routine (called by .seticcspace) to remove the
operand from the stack. Also required altering the C colour processing
to increment the operand stack and pass the operand that way, when
calling seticc for PDF interpretation.

Log:
Fix: ps2write. Very large TrueType fonts (>64Kb), when converted to Type 42
fonts for use in PostScript, must contain an /sfnts entry, which is an
array of strings comprising the TT font. There are restrictions on where
the original data is split to form the strings, which ps2write was not
honouring.
DETAILS:
Bug #690044 "Printer error (49,4C02) with ps2write output"
Bug #690012 "Error with ps2write output ps file when Unicode font is used"
Bug #690030 "Issue with NeverEmbed flag with ps2write device for some of the fonts"
There are five changes made to opdfread.ps in order to fix these problems:
1) The VM allocation mode used by opdfread is now local throughout, where
previously it was global. Judging by the number of local hacks, this
has frequently caused problems in the past.
2) There was a problem if a Font Descriptor contained neither a FontFile
nor a FontFile2 entry. This was due to not embedding fonts, but caused
the code to enter an infinte loop looking for one or the other.
3) After encountering the 'xref' in the PDF file, the code simply
flushed the input file. This could potentially cause a problem if the
EOF was not signalled back to the interpreter. This was theorised to
be one of the issues, and fixed in passing, even though it was not
in fact causing a problem.
4) The sfnts array is now built up from strings which follow the rules
laid out in the Type 42 Font Format specification (tech note 5012)
In particular the glyf table is now split on glyph boundaries. This
only seems to cause problems for Adobe interpreters.
5) The 'post' table processing was modified to use an array of strings
instead of a single string, if the table was >64Kb.

TT fonts : An initial implementation of GSUB.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for bug 689304
"improper handling of vertical japanese text".
It works for brackets and punctuation signs orientation
when a vertical CJK text is painted with an
Open Type font that defines a GSUB table.
The curent implementation always chooses a Format 1
substitution table that substitutes single glyphs to single glyphs.
It doesn't account LangSys and feature tables.
Such logic is owned from the CJK patch attached to the bug 689304.
It may need further improvements.
Opposite to CJK group we implement it in C to allow
to it to work for other interpreters besides Postscript.
Interpreters may need to add an explicit call to
the new function gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical
to involve the new functionality. This happens due to
a compatibility to PS interpreter that needs to call
the new function from the interpreter code rather than from
the graphics library.
See comments in code for more details.

Restore function of NumRenderingThreads > 0 that was inadvertently disabled

DETAILS:
The segfault was fixed by making sure that the clist structure was initialized

test for crdev->render_threads == NULL always reverted to single threaded
rendering.
Note that this also will return the error if "clist_close_writer_and_init_reader"
returns an error value (<0), which is consistent with the behavior of the

Fix (printer devices) : Allow retries for raster buffer allocation when BufferSpace is default.
DETAILS :
Bug 690055 "seg fault at higher resolutions".
1. The old code implements a branch with increasing the buffer space
when a clist writer initialization fails with limitcheck and
the buffer size is default.
However the clist writer initialization never returns limitcheck,
it does return rangecheck instead. I guess the bug is in the
retry condition so I change it to rangecheck.
2. When the buffer space size is not default,
the old code crashes while setpagedevice,
if the device was opened. The clist initialization
returns with an inconsistent clist writer state
and the device still has is_open flag set.
The new code resets is_open if the clist writer initialization
fails while setpagedevice.

Fix (clist writer) : Wrong compositor cropping when a shading is entirely clipped out.
DETAILS :
Bug 690078 "clist error in fts_41xx.xps and fts_39xx.xps".
clist_fill_path implements a special processing of a clipping path for shadings.
It falls back to gx_default_fill_path, which accounts both filling path and clipping patch.
Doing so, gx_default_fill_path passes the clipping path to the clist writer
as a high level object with calling clist_fill_path with a NULL color.
However the 2 calls to clist_fill_path differently processed the
case of the empty clipping : the first call did not return immediately
and restored the compositor cropping interval after returning from gx_default_fill_path,
but the second call does return immediately and did not save the interval before
the clipping path is written. Thus the interval was restored to a wrong state
that occasionally left from a preceeding filling operation.
This patch moves the check for empty clipping ahead the main
processing in clist_fill_path, so that the 2 calls do same thing
about the skipping of an empty clipping.

[psi/zfaes.c psi/int.mak]
2008-09-24T11:07:43.989804Z Ralph Giles
Initial support for aes decryption streams.
Details:
This adds support for compiling the xyssl aes implementation added
in r8870, and a stream library wrapper which calls it.
Note that while an s_aes_set_key() procedure is provided to set a
key in an allocated stream state, it merely stores the key, and the
actual allocation of the aes_context structure and initialization
with the key happen the first time the stream's process() method is
called.
This is because a typical call to filter_read() in the interpreter
binding will end up memcpy()ing this to its own separately allocated
stream state. This preserves any static initialization performed by
the caller, such as passing in the key, but the xyssl aes_context
structure includes an internal pointer, and this is not updated when
the state is copied.
The internal pointer provides an indirect reference to support optional
storage of the sbox in secure memory. We're not using this feature, so
we could remove it, or update the pointer ourselves when our process()
method is first called. However, working around the issue by delaying
all opaque initialization until the stream is working is more robust.

Space makefile colons for the benefit of VMS. Bug 690084.
OpenVMS supports a basic makefile syntax, but requires a space on both

Address some more issues raised by Coverity. Check return values in some places which were
not previously checked, initialise some variables, and remove some dead code.

The purpose is to minimize dependencies between projects.
The new module gxblend1.c keeps color blending algorithms moved from gdevp14.
Fix (graphics) : Preovide a right check for incorrect call to pdf14_pop_transparency_group.
DETAILS :
This patch doesn't change behavior with regular runs.

[doc/C-style.htm]
2008-08-28T00:03:40.520992Z Ralph Giles
Document the motivation for a source style item.
Details:
There has been some controvesy over the rule that single-statement
bodies of control structs must be on their own line. Specifically:
if (code < 0)
return code;
instad of:
if (code < 0) return code;
despite the latter being less obtrusive for common error checks.
Several developers have requested this because it allows setting a
breakpoint directly on the return statement instead of a conditional
return on the conditional line, or a breakpoint at the return inside
the single source line. This is therefore a practical issue, not just
one of readability and style.

Fix (graphics) : Scanline algorithm missed pixels at horizontal boundaries.
DETAILS :
Bug 689402 "Regression: differences in dina3_watermark.pdf".
The defect looks as an unimplemented branch.
which persists since Ghostscript 8.00 released on Decebmer 2002
or longer. We could get a similar problem when runnung Bug687832.pdf
with Ghostscript 7.04 (it can't handle dina3_watermark.pdf),
and our reading of its code shows that the problem presents in it.
So the problem is really antique.
The bottom of the problem is that fill adjustment was not applied
to some horizontal segments. Due to that some pixel centers are not covered
when they must be.

2008-08-21T08:28:49.451522Z Ken Sharp
Silence an 'uninitialised variable' warning from Coverity.
Details:
Function initialisation is a bit round about. We pass a function pointer to
make_sampled_function, which assigns it to a local variable. That variable is passed to
gs_function_Sd_init, which immediately zeros it....
Since the pointer is never actually used, setting it to NULL should silence the warning.
[src/zfunc.c]
2008-08-20T23:58:43.536642Z Ralph Giles
Replace an abs() call with our any_abs() macro. Also remove an
unnecessary math_.h include.
Details:
A call to abs() was added in r8942. Technically the prototype for this
is in stdlib.h, but it's a built-in in most compilers so this didn't
raise a warning. We do include stdlib.h elsewhere, usually for qsort()
or malloc(), but abs() is only called from comment pseudo code; in
practice the any_abs() macro or fabs() from math.h are used instead.
Because this isn't in an inner loop, speed isn't important, so we prefer
the macro to a system header include for consistency.
Sine the beginning of repository history, gdevbit.c has included math.h,
but I don't see any math library calls now, so it as been removed.

Fix __func__ on the default (non-C99) gcc build.
Details:
__func__ is a variable in C99. The earlier __FUNCTION__ is a magic
preproccessor define in MSVC 7 and later, so the #if defined() clause
enabled it. However, in GCC it is a magic string literal instead and so
this clause did not enable it. Therefore we add an explicit check for
the appropriate GCC version and define the same substitution for that
compiler.

Use GNU iconv.h header in compatibility mode unless we link with GNU libiconv.
This is needed for compiling gs with gcc under HP-UX 11.11.
DETAILS:
gdevopvp.c uses some basic functionality from iconv library but none of GNU
extensions. So the native implementation is searched first.
GNU header uses different names in the library and defines some macros to map
iconv* names to GNU libiconv* names.
gcc looks for GNU version of iconv.h first, which requires a compatibility
flag to link with the native libraries.
So the compatibility flag is set when iconv* functions are not found but
libiconv* functions are found.

Update the fonts to those that the nightly and cluster regressions have
been using all along. The -Ifonts in the regression script was causing
the contents of Resource/Font to be ignored. These fonts are the std-8.11
version.
Note we probably next need to move to the newer version of these fonts
with the metrics fixed, but this is a first step.
DETAILS:
These are files that were part of the distribution 8.11 files that really
can't live in the Resource/Font directory since some applications or
test files will enumerate (with 'resourceforall') the directory and will
get errors if files are there that are not fonts.
___________________________________________________________________________
README:
This is release 1.0.7pre22 of Valek Filippov's improved versions of the URW
type 1 font collection, repackaged for distribution with Ghostscript.
Cyrillized free URW fonts.
These fonts were made from the free URW fonts distributed with ghostcript.
There are NO changes in the latin part of them (I hope).
Cyrillic glyphs were added by copying suitable latin ones
and painting oulines of unique cyrillic glyphs in same style as the others.
For all modification pfaedit was used.
The license for result is (of course) same as for original fonts,
i.e. GPL with an exception that you can put these fonts in your own non-GPLed
documents. (Looks like LGPL from my point of view =).
The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available
at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources
The great font editor pfaedit is available at http://pfaedit.sf.net.
That page also includes some links to fonts created by
George Williams -- the author of pfaedit.
Acknowledgements:
I would like to thank George Williams, the pfaedit's author and developer.
He is the most bug-reporter/feature-requester friendly developer
I ever saw in my not so short life. At some moment in the future
I must write a book about him: "George Williams and my best experience
in bug-reporting." George also greatly helped me bug-hunting these fonts,
explained to me some very important things about fonts and font design,
quickly adopted pfaedit to my needs (or pointed me to The Right Place in
documentation where I found better way of doing things).
I would like to thank Alexey Novodvorsky (aka AEN), who
pointed me to pfaedit and George Williams' fonts, explained
The Task to me. He is also one of the main participators in the
development of Sysiphus -- free repository of free software.
I didn't loose my time for compiling/installing and supporting
my linux box coz I used the result of Sysiphus developers' works.
I would like to thank Sergey Vlasov, who tested these fonts and reported
about bugs. Also he help me to make some bug-reports to George about
pfaedit bugs.
I would like Dmitry 40in, who did big QA for some font outlines, drawn some glyphs,
and explain some The Truths for me.
I would like to thank Vlad Harchev (aka hvv), who
proofread this text for me.
Also I have to thank RMS for GPL and URW for releasing the fonts
under it.
Thank you very much!

Nimbus Sans L Regular, Nimbus Mono L Regular, Nimbus Mono L Oblique
all come from a more recent version of the cyrillic URW fonts.
The hints on Nimbus Sans Regular have been modified in the
following ways:
25 June 2002
- Added ghost hint to the top of 4 to keep it from being
taller than the other digits.
- Reduced the width of the left stem hint for H to 83
(probably no real differences)
- Changed the StemSnapV values from [78 85 94] to [78 83 92]
(and fixed up StdVW accordingly)
This corresponds to the values in the font (which are 83/93
for lower case and upper case stems) better and makes
the width-88 stems on M and N snap to to upper case
widths not lower-case widths.
29 June 2002
- Removed odd vertical stem hints (width of horizontal
stems) from f, F, t, E, yen sign, fi ligature,
fl ligature, AE ligature, R, Lstroke, OE ligature,
lstroke, E" variants, t, variants, Eth, Dstoke, etc.
- Fixed hints on 1 to be two ghost hints instead of one
hint the height of the font
- fix bottom stem of u to have integer coordinates
- fixed hints on |
- fixed hints on inverted exclamation mark
The hints on Nimbus Mono L Oblique have been modified in the
following ways:
- Removed vertical stem hints from horizontal serifs on
roman characters.

Fix (PS interpreter) : Wrong glyph positions with CIDFontType 2 WMode 1.
DETAILS :
Bug 688058 "Vertical Japanese characters shift upper right direction".
Bug 689559 "centerline of vertical CJK text is wrong when external TrueType CJK font is used.".
The old code wrongly computes glyph positions when a CIDFontType 2 WMode 1
font has no metrics and includes vmtx. The patch properly computes
the V vector using top side bearing and font bounding box.
See comments in code.
This patch fixes the glyph positions and closes the original bugs,
but we still observe other 2 problems with the 688058 test case :
1. 2 characters are substitutes with hollow boxes.
2. pdfwrite generates a PDF with a wrong glyph positions.
Opened bugs 690006, 690007 for them.

Fix (TT interpreter) : AVector bug workaround was wrong.
DETAILS :
Bug 689820 "rendering of embbeded font with very low quality".
The problem may happens only when a glyph is bigger than [-UnitsPerEm*2, UnitsPerEm*2].
The old code includes a workaround for an antique AVBector bug.
However for detecting it the old code supplied a glyph bbox
with a wrong coordinate representation (scale).
The test case supplies a glyph, in which some points have x-coordinate
greater than UnitsPerEm*2, so the workaround
converted all curves into lines.
The patch provides the right bbox data.

Fix (graphics) : A clist-based pattern supplied a wrong clipping box.
DETAILS :
Bug 689851 "Portions of output missing".
The test document paints an imagemask with a pattern 1 color,
which contains a Type 1 image, which represents the graphics
that one can view there.
The pattern appears so big as Ghostscript converts it into a clist.
When rendering the inner image to the clist,
It calls get_clipping_box to know whether the image portion
falls inside the painting area. But the old code
appears to use a wrong implementation of the get_clipping_box method,
which was inherited from the page clist writer and retrieves the page size.
Here we need the pattern cell size instead the page size.
The patch sets up the right implementation for get_clipping_box.

Massive commit discussed before the freeze to move the PostScript initialization
files to Resource/Init. This obviates the need for geninit when COMPILE_INITS=1.
A followup change will enhance mkromfs to allow it to 'strip' comments and white
space from PostScript input files somewhat reducing the compressed storage needed
for the files in Resource/Init. All files mentioned in int.mak with 'ADDMOD ...
-ps ...' are included as well as those that would have been included via gs_init.ps
%% Replace lines.
Builds tested on Windows and Cygwin for the various executables (gs, pcl6, pspcl6
and gxps).
The default LIBPATH and GenericResourceDir are adjusted accordingly.
Fix 'rangecheck in showpage' with NumRenderingThreads>0 if the lines requeested do
not range from 0 forward or height-1 backwards. Bug from customer 531 and 850.
Also fix problems with reversion to non-multithreaded rendering with file and memory
based BAND_LIST_STORAGE.
DETAILS:
The 'clist_get_band_from_thread' logic had a known deficiency if the device did not
request lines ranging from the top or bottom of the page. The fix assumes that the
normal direction is from line 0 forward unless the first line requested is the last
line of the page, setting the lookahead_direction. If a request is made for a band
other than the next one in the expected direction, the lookahead_direction is
reversed and threads are started for the requested band and the bands following in
the new direction. This effectively recovers from an incorrect guess, but since
there is no limit on the number of times that the recovery is performed, also allows
for lines/bands to be requested in arbitrary order.
The customer uses a custom device, but the 'bit' devices were recently enhanced
with -dFirstLine= and -dLastLine= parameters to allow testing.
The re-opening of the clist files was changed to use 'a+' to avoid erasing the
file if multi-threaded rendering was shut down (clist_teardown_render_threads),
and rendering was reverted to single threaded mode.
The memory based clist (BAND_LIST_STORAGE=memory) was supplemented to better
track re-opening and allow for 'a' mode and avoid memory leak of the original
'base' named memfile structure. The customers mentioned above also use the
BAND_LIST_STORAGE=memory for performance reasons (realizing a 10% gain in
throughput over file based clist).

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued),
DETAILS :
Bug 689995 "segfault with 09-34.PS"
1. (the bug fix) A recent patch doesn't account patterns with no tile,
which represent an empty pattern.
This change inserts checks for empty tiles
and process them with no optimization (redundantly),
because they are small and are not cached.
See comments in code.
2. pcls->band_complexity.uses_color accummulated a pattern address bits instead
a real data. This bug was introduced when serializing colors to clist.
nevertheless this bug has no visible effect because 'pure' is overlayed with
a tile address, which can't be equal to 0 or 0xffffff.
So formally this part of the change is algorithmically equivalent,
but it is important for redability.
Note that when serializing a pattern to clist, 'uses_color' is not properly
computed and needs further development. see new bug 689997.
Minor change : removed the second call to gs_dc_get_pattern_id for a faster code.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist.
DETAILS :
Bug 689865 "clist stores redundant patterns".
The change is pretty simple because the clist reader already implememnts
a pattern cache. We just add pattern id to gx_clist_state
and provide a short format (just the id) when writing and reading
a pattern color to/from clist at second time. A new function gs_dc_get_pattern_id
allows to access the pattern id through closures of color elements.
Note it remembers up to 2 pattern ids for a band
(one for the specific band, and another for "all bands").
A better way would be to remember all patterns cached for a band,
but it would need to save all cached ids individually for each band while clist writing.
We don't want to enlarge the clist writer storage now.
Minor change : Some dependencies of gxclpath.c were missed in makefile.
Fix (graphics) : Memory leak from Indexed color space.

Fix (graphics) : A slow stroking with big patterns.
DETAILS :
Bug 689966 "c329.bin hang with bitcmyk in clist code".
1. The stroking algorithm includes a branch for a 'faster' rasterizing
with an idempotential color. That branch paints each stroke independently of others.
However that branch doesn't apply an optimization for big patterns,
which the general filling algorithm implements. It caused the too slow rendering,
because a clist-based pattern is played back for each parallelogram.
This change disables the 'faster' srtoking with big patterns,
so that the faster filling algorithm works fine for stroking.
2. Revert the revision 8851 change, which was a temporary workaround for the problem,

Add a mapping of commit ids to author names.
This is used by split_changelog.py to do the replacement when building
the History files. The changes to that script to make use of this file
were inadvertently included in r8917.
This is the fourth scheduled release in the stable Ghostscipt 8.6x
series. It corresponds to the 1.53 release of GhostPDL.
Approximately 238 bugs have been fixed since version 8.62. Of particular
note are robustness and performance improvements with large files,
invalid PDF, and font handling.
The major new feature of this release is multithreaded rendering. This
can be requested by passing -dNumRenderingThreads=n on
the command line. The input document is first parsed, and then each page
is split into n bands which are rendered concurrently. This
can provide a significant reduction in processing time on multi-core
systems.
Images are now always interpolated in their source colorspace. This
improves correctness for XPS documents and avoids bypassing the custom
color management callbacks for interpolated images. Interpolation and
color management are both expensive operations, so this affects
performance with large images. The effect can be positive or negative
depending on the file and the target resolution. If performance is a
problem, we suggest running with -dNOINTERPOLATION.
Support for OpenPrinting Vector devices has been upgraded to version
1.0.
There are two new devices in this release, both experimental. Behdad
Esfahbod has contributed a cairo output device which uses
the cairo graphics library to
generate PDF, SVG, EPS, or PNG files, based on the requested filename
extension. The svgwrite device directly outputs Scalable Vector
Graphics, the W3C XML vector graphics format. Both support only vector
art at this point; text and images will not be represented efficiently.
The following bugs were
open at the time of release:
The maximum number of color components has been reduced to 8 (from 252)
as a performance improvement. Eight is the largest number commonly used
and the largest number for which we support continuous tone images.
Users with special needs can restore the previous behavior by setting
the GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS preprocessor symbol to the required
number of components at compile time.
The -Z: debugging option now uses 'realtime' instead of 'usertime'
when reporting timing information on unix-like systems. This has
always been the case on windows-like systems.
Obsolete makefiles for the DesqView environment have been removed.

Add support to NULL pointers in t_structs or t_astructs objects to execstack
operator. Thanks to Ken for the analysis. Bug 689535.
DETAILS:
The issue is to do with devices handling patterns as high-level objects, which
is why it affects pdfwrite (which can handle patterns itself) but not regular
rendering. In zpcolor.c, pattern_paint_prepare(), there are two control paths,
one for devices which handle patterns as high-level objects, and one for
devices which don't. If the device can't handle high level objects, we install
a pattern accumulation device.
In this case, the flag internal_accum is set, we create the pattern accumulator
device and open it:
if (internal_accum) {
gs_memory_t *storage_memory = gstate_pattern_cache(pgs)->memory;
pdev = gx_pattern_accum_alloc(imemory, storage_memory, pinst,
"pattern_paint_prepare");
if (pdev == 0)
return_error(e_VMerror);
code = (*dev_proc(pdev, open_device)) ((gx_device *) pdev);
...
...
}
Later the two control paths rejoin and we put some objects on the execution
stack:
push_mark_estack(es_other, pattern_paint_cleanup);
++esp;
make_istruct(esp, 0, pdev);
Now notice that we construct the structure on esp using pdev, but we *don't*
create pdev if we can handle patterns, so its left as NULL and we end up
pushing an empty t_struct.
Leo's question in comment 10 is whether this is legal, the answer appears to be
yes, but its debatable.
In pattern_paint_finish we do this:
gx_device_forward *pdev = r_ptr(esp - 1, gx_device_forward);
if (pdev != NULL) {
gx_color_tile *ctile;
int code = gx_pattern_cache_add_entry((gs_imager_state *)igs,
pdev, &ctile);
That is, if the structure *isn't* NULL we do something with it, we ignore it if
it is NULL. Either way we then do this:
esp -= 3;
Removing all the objects from the execution stack that we added. Notice that
the structure we pushed onto the execution stack isn't actually 'executed', its
just data used by the pattern handler.
Now, all this works just fine in normal practice, however the job here uses a
CIEBased colour space, and being from an Adobe application it tries to set the
ColorRendering. Since we don't implement a ColorRendering resource category,
this causes an error (handled in a stopped context).
The default error handler uses execstack, and this is where the actual error
finally occurs, because execstack can't handle the empty structure.

Fix for Bug 689983. This was introduced with the source space interpolation code. Fixes indexing direction in source data when we have indexed data, interpolation and a negative xx value in the geometric transformation.
Fix extraction of the default subfile from PDF file collection on save
level 0. Export the file name as a PS name from PDF interpreter instance
to protect the name from restore. Bug 689981.
DETAILS:
Exporting this value as a global composite object doesn't work when PDF
interpreter runs on the save level 0. If we ever implement processing of
multiple files from PDF collection the interface will need some changes.

Fix (printer) : A check for buffer space overflow was dramatically overestimated.
DETAILS :
In the old code :
new_height < max_ulong/(mem_space + (new_height * pdf14_trans_buffer_size))
Where pdf14_trans_buffer_size is (raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS).
equivalent to :
new_height * (mem_space + (new_height * (raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS))) < max_ulong
equivalent to :
new_height * mem_space + new_height * new_height * raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS < max_ulong
So it counts new_height quadratically, but it must be the linear multiple by the raster.
Debugged with the test case of the bug 689982.
It creates a 15Mb raster, but could not switch off the banding
even with -dMaxBitmap=1000000000 .

DETAILS :
Bug 689893 "Regression: CID font emulation is broken."
A work around against unsorted 'loca' and its recent improvements
assume that 'loca' presents in sfnts. It is not true
when a CID font is emulated with a True Type disk font,
because in that case the font machinery delay loading
'loca' and 'glyp' elements until a real request from a document.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : A temporary work around huge images with a soft mask.
DETAILS :
Bug 689080 "PDF Crash with Transparency at 2880 dpi".
This is a temporary workaraound for the problem,
see comment in code.
With this patch the test case doesn't crash,
but it needs -dBufferSpace=500000000 to complete in 15 minutes
on Core 2 Duo 2.4 MHz with debug build.
The test case is pretty big anyway - it generates a 4.2 gigapixel raster.
Thankls to Ray for obtaining the buffer space from a device.
I think the old code is incorrect because it looks applying the
mask two times : first when installing a mask buffer with
.begintransparencymaskimage in doimagesmask, and second time when
processing a Type 103 image in C code. The raster difference
is likely caused by that. I don't perform a deeper analyzis,
because it's a temporary fix which needs to be replaced soon.
All that is written in this paragraph are not sure,
because there is no time for a deeper analyzis before 8.63 release.
When we'll complete Type 103 images (with rasterizing after clist
and with a proper handling in pdfwrite), .begintransparencymaskimage
will likely go away.

Fix for Bug 689246. When performing interpolation, the interpolation is now performed in the source colorspace as opposed to the device space. Custom color callback is no longer bypassed by direct concretization as it was previously.
DETAILS:
Previous code would take device color 8 bit values and do the interpolation. That portion of the code is the same. For cases where we have nondevice color the handling is now different. Indexed colors are mapped to their base space and interpolated. This is followed by a remap operation. Device independent colors are interpolated followed by a remap operation.
Note that for cases where there is a significant enlargement occurring and we are not in a device color space, there can be a performance cost due to current inefficiencies in our color remapping operations. This can be costly if you have a CMYK CRD MLUT for example. There is currently a project underway to improve the efficiency of the color flow. For the current time, if this is an issue, improved speed can be achieved by invoking -dNOINTERPOLATION

when no-transparency is in effect prior to adding in the space needed for
transparency. Thanks to Michael Vrhel for spotting this.

Change the default GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS to 8 (down from 252).
This improves the performance for files with many images. This limits
the number of DeviceN components and the number of separations that
can be generated in the default build and causes 'limitcheck' errors
on CET tests that attempt to set a 250 component DeviceN space.
THIS IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE, but the change in ths single file
so this can readily be rebuilt by customers that need more components
or anyone that demands conformance to this implementation dependent
result on the CET. Note that not all Adobe implementations support
250 components as CPSI does.
Currently only the tiffsep and psdcmyk devices can generate more than
8 separations, and then only when USE_COMPRESSED_ENCODING is used to
fit more than 8 components in a 64-bit color value.
This partly reverts rev 7159.

Fix (pdfwrite): limit checking of CIDfonts for 'fixed width' property.
Details:
Bug 689963 "Infinite loop converting PostScript to PDF"
In fact the loop is not infinite, but it does take a long time. When checking to see if a
font is non-proportional, ie all glyphs have the same width, and the font is a CIDFont, we
did not stop testing when the CID exceeded the maximum CID in the font instance. Instead
we continued to the full CID range (0xffffffff). Because the TrueType code returns a
default for missing glyphs if the font was truly non-proportional then it would take a
long time to search the entire range.
(zfcid1.c): In z11_enumerate_glyph, check the requested CID against the CIDCount for the
font. Return a rangecheck if we exceed it.
I believe only pdfwrite uses this code currently.

Fix (graphics) : Write tile id into a pattern clist.
DETAILS :
Bug 689818 "Regression: Test file imagemask-with-pattern.ps fails with banding and pbmraw ".
The old code doesn't write a tile id when writing the tile to clist,
because the clist interpreter doesn't use tile id.
This causes a failure after we implemented clist-based patterns.
While playing back a pattrn clist to a page clist writer device,
the clist writer does need a tile id
for choosing an entry of an internal hash table.
Actually the failure happens due to a strange check
"tile->id != gx_no_bitmap_id" in
clist_strip_tile_rectangle in gxclrect.c ln 479.
It is not clear what it was intended for.
When a tile id is zerfo, the check skips writing tile size to clist,
so that a zerodevide happens during the clist playback.
We decided to provide meanful ids
because the clist writer needs them anyway.
Fixing the check to be a subject of a separate patch
(if a fix is really necessary).
This patch simply writes tile id when the clist
is for a pattern. A new nacro IS_CLIST_FOR_PATTERN(cdev)
Defines the condition for that.
Some internal functions change prototypes
with adding a new boolean argument for_pattern to know
whether a clist is for a pattern.

Bug #689864 "Regression: 09-34.PS core dumps with pdfwrite"
When emitting an image, using the Flate encoder, the number of colorants in

encoder uses a fixed buffer whose size depends on the maximum number of inks, this
could cause a write beyond the end of the buffer.

(spngp.c) Return error if the number of colorants in the space

Parse common color space keys in JPXDecode filtered images and pass them
to the filter, allowing JPX-encoded CMYK images to display properly.
Fixes bug 688807.
DETAILS:
The fundamental issue is that the jasper library does not support the
ISO 15444-2 (JPX) extensions to the JP2 format for handling full ICC
and CMYK color spaces. So while the the PDF image dictionary and the
JPX streams both specify a CMYK ICC profile describing the image, jasper
ignores the extended colr boxes and marks the image as sRGB + an unknown
component, just based on it having three or more components. Our stream
implementation used this information and tried to return RGB pixels when
the graphics library expected CMYK, causing errors or hangs.
Jasper should be amended to handle these extensions. However, since in
PDF a color space in the image's stream dictionary overrides what is in
the stream, I felt implementing the override was the more useful
resolution.
This patch doesn't handle all color spaces, just Device* and ICCBased,
which are the most common. In the case of ICCBased spaces, we try to
look up the alternate, and use that if it is a Device* space; otherwise
we guess based on the number of components.

Clean up the state machine in s_jpxd_process.
DETAILS:
The state machine didn't always respect the calling conventions for
filter process routines, and could return '0' (more input needed) when
'last' was true (no more input exists).
Also, the jas_stream member of the filter state isn't currently
necessary and has been moved to s_jpxd_decode_image(). Originally
it was envisioned that the jas_stream could seek on the filter's
source ghostscript stream and so would need a longer lifetime than
we're currently using. This has now been simplified to a local variable.

Fix (clist writer) : Indeterminizm writing a degenerate curve.
DETAILS :
Bug 689911 Shifting raster data, Windows MSVC 8 non-debug build.
In function cmd_put_path the variable 'prev' was wrongly localized
in the loop body when need to save/pass data from the previous cycle.
It worked fine with debug build, because the compiler
always commits variables to RAM for debug purpose.
With release build the variable 'prev' never changes
because formally speaking the program never uses its value
after it is initialized.
The bug persists since the repository was created on March 9 2000.
The old behavior may be indeterministic.
With MSVC8 the effect is occasionaly visible when a degenerate curve
{x y x y x y x y} is written into clist.

Fix (graphics) : Clean image enumerator before releasing it.
DETAILS :
Bug 688845 "Segmentation Fault on EPS 2 PDF conversion", comment #38.
Adobe Illustrator creates a Postscript document,
in which an image data procedure executes 'save',
and the corresponding 'restore' appears after the image end.
DCue to that the image enumerator is freed at a higher save level than
it was allocated, so that gs_free_object works idle.
Nevertheless pointers must not in the structure,
because they may point to blocks already released
by the client's subclass method for end_image.
Leaving them uncleaned caused a real crash in the garbager - see bug 688845.
The patch defines the new function gs_image_free_enum,
which is intendend for a safe releasing of an image enumerator
from Postscript interpreter.
It cleans the entire subclassed enumerator,
including all possible pointers created by subclasses.
All end_image implementations,
which may be called from Postscript interpreter,
must call this function for releasing image enumerators.
The 'memory' pointer moved from subclasses to gx_image_enum_common.
We believe that in the old code all subclasses define and initialize it.
Working on this patch we suspected memory leaks
from image enumerators with some devices.
Particularly we suspect that subclasses if gx_device_vector
(pdfwrite, ps2write, etc.) never release image enumerators (not sure).
This patch does not do any attempt to re[pair such leaks,

Fix (stroking) : Prevent unpainted gaps between neighbour strokes that could appear due to stroke adjustment.
DETAILS :
Bug 687974 "pdf file has banding with ghostscript but not with acrobat".
The test case includes a gradient, which is represented
as a set of paralel strokes. Due to stroke widths equals to fractional pixels,
stroke adjustment shifts some of them so that
an unpainted gap appears between strokes and the gradient looks striped.
Note the test document is created with Quark Express 4.11 .
This patch implements a hewristic recognizer for parallel contacting strokes
and suppresses stroke adjustment for them. See comments in code
for more details.
Note that the recognizer data are associated with a device but they
are not a device property. We store them in a device structure because
we haven't got an associated structure in the graphic state,
and we don't want to introduce one now against extra complexity
with memory management. Also the recognizer code
Appears to be distributed along multiple functions and we would like
to apply a better incapsulation. Nevertheless the encapsulation
would cause CPU time expense for multiple small function calls
unless we create new macros. So commonly we're unhappy of
this code but we don't see a better solution.
Also note that the recognizer data is copied from/to clipper
device when the stroking algorithm installs and deinstalls a clipper.
So the data actually is not a property of a device.
Also they're not a part of graphic state because they must live
across gsave/grestore (the test case requires so).

Fix (True Type font loader) : Work around incorrect numGlyphs.
DETAILS :
Bug 689516 "problem reading PDF: Failed to interpret TT instructions (ref 7814)".
The bug report supplies a PDF document, which embeds a TT font
with a too small numGlyphs. The loca table contains more glyphs and
they are referenced in a text. The font is incorrect, but Acrobat handles the document.
This patch checks whether there are glyphs behind numGlyphs and
extends numGlyphs to cover them. Also improved error handling in ttfmain.c .
Besides that, now we print a warning about an incorrect numGlyphs
in release build. The olkd code did with debug buil only.
I believe that users need to know whether a font is broken, and that
its rendering is hewristic.

Enhancement (graphics) : Delay applying type 1 raster patterns until clist interpretation (continued 4).
DETAILS :
The old code assumes that a pattern always fits into the clist writer buffer.
However ppmraw -r400 176-01.ps violates this assumption.
This patch implements a subdivision of a pattern into slices,
each of which is smaller than the buffer size.
1. The new function cmd_get_buffer_space retrives maximal available space
in the clist writer buffer (gxclutil.c).
2. cmd_put_drawing_color now implements a cycle for slicing big patterns.
Each slice writes to clist as a separate clist instruction (gxclpath.c).
3. gx_dc_pattern_write_raster drops the constraint that the pattern
fits into a single buffer (gsptype1.c).
4. The clist interpreter is enhanced with composing a pattern from slices
(gxclrast.c).

Rename the cairo device parameter CairoSurface to CairoOption.
Better handling of libcairo errors.
Add (untested) support for passing a libcairo context pointer
through the CairoContext device parameter for rendering to a
client drawable.
Details:
CairoSurface was renamed with the expectation that it will in
the future take additional options that might not be surface
specific. Also, the CairoSurface name was chosen with the idea
that a client could pass a pointer to an already allocated
cairo_surface_t, but it's just as easy to pass the result
of calling cairo_create() on such a surface as a context
pointer. Therefore we've added CairoContext and renamed the
old CairoSurface parameter to CairoOptions.
The new command line would be:
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -sCairoOptions=ps -o - test.ps
to set the output format to ps.

New 'cairo' output device using the libcairo graphics library.
Patch by Behdad Esfahbod.
Details:
This output device uses the LGPL cairo library to create file output in
a variety of formats. Currently supported are png, svg, pdf, ps, eps.
The output format can be specified with the CairoSurface device
parameter. If this parameter isn't set, the device will guess
based on the filename extension given in OutputFile. Thus, these
two command lines are equivalent:
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -sCairoSurface=svg -o tiger.svg examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.svg examples/tiger.eps
Other output formats are selected like so:
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.png examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.pdf examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.ps examples/tiger.eps
Only vector drawing is implemented at this point; images and text are
handled by fallback and will not give compact results. The resolution
for rasterization is set by the -r parameter as usual.
Consider Index object in CFF font as empty if the offset element size is
incorrect. Bug 689854, customer 580.
DETAILS:
The rationale behind this decision is that the index is, probably,
not used when it is malformed but the file survives in the wild.

This is the "final" merge of the mtrender (multi-threaded clist rendering)
branch into the trunk. The default behavior is still the same, i.e., the
clist rendering is done in the same thread as the parsing (main thread).
The 'gsmalloc' memory allocator now ALWAYS uses a mutex to lock accesses
in case it is used by a multi-threaded client. This was determined to
result is less than 1% performance hit on a single threaded client.
Refer to the log messages on the mtrender branch for details on the
design of the multi-threaded clist rendering, but the summary is that
-dNumRenderingThreads=# (default 0) determines the number of background
threads REQUESTED for rendering bands. If the platform doesn't support
threads, or if there is an error starting the threads from the clist_
get_bits_rectangle_mt hook, single threaded rendering will be used.
The number of threads may be less than the requested number if the
number of bands is less than the request, or if there is an error
setting up threads (as many as can be created, up to the request will
be used). The -Z: debug switch emits status messages indicating how
many threads are requested (-dNumRenderingThreads) and the number that
is actually used.
Many files show little if any improvement with multi-threaded clist
rendering since they are dominated by the clist writing time, or by
the time required to write the output. No files seen to date show a
performance hit greater than aobut 3%. Setting NumRenderingThreads
to a count higher than the number of CPU cores available does not
seem to help or hurt much, but there is overhead (per page) with
starting threads and allocating band buffers, so a very large count
is not productive.
The best performance seen on an Intel Core 2 Duo system, on a
particular file is about a 75% performance improvement (completing
the page in 57% of the single threaded time). This time did not
include writing a file (output to /dev/null).
In order to prevent memory mutex (locking) contention from slowing
down multi-threaded clist rendering, each thread uses a 'chunk'
wrapper on NON-GC the non-gc memory allocator. Each chunk allocator
is thread-safe/instantiated, so the locking only occurs on chunk
allocations to the wrapped (target) memory allocator.
The 'BAND_LIST_STORAGE=mmeory' option has been supplemented to allow
multiple concurrent threads to read the clist 'memfile'.
The "autoconf" files (configure.ac and Makefile.in) have been improved
to hook the 'posix' pthreads if available, so linux and Mac OS/X will
be able to support the multi-threaded clist rendering.
Use 'realtime' instead of 'usertime' for -Z: timing information. On some
systems (Windows) these are equivalent, but on linux, 'usertime' is the
time for the current thread which interferes with timing collection on
different threads (multi-threaded rendering did not include any time for
the threads). INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but this is only debug info.
[src/imain.c]
2008-05-08T21:28:30.163536Z Ray Johnston
Allow some compile time constants that affect performance to be set as
/D compiler flags (via XCFLAGS makefile macro).
MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE controls when the clist pattern accumulator is used,
and on machines with a decent amount of RAM, the default of 1 Mb is too
small and causes the slower clist method to be used too often. Setting this
to 32 Mb is probably better on hosts.
The GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS default of 252 is needed for Adobe CPSI
compatibility and for RIPS that want to use a large number of DeviceN
colorants, but this increases the size of some allocations and slows down

Add support for recursive mutex on posix. Multiple threads that perform
'locking' before calling an object's finalize need this to prevent
deadlock if the finalize calls 'free'. This protection is standard on
Windows, but PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE attribute is not available on
many systems.
The method, using pthread_self and pthread_equal, was extracted from
a web information page and tested on linux.
NB: The multi-threaded clist rendering no longer needs this since
the 'chunk' memory wrapper calls the 'finalize' function without
locking, so the deadlock no longer occurs.

Fix memory leak observed with DEBUG=1 build on mtrender branch. The
'levels' and 'bit_data' of halftones were being leaked when halftones
were set by the clist reader.
DETAILS:
Since the 'dht.rc' was filled with 0's, the rc.memory would cause the
gx_imager_dev_ht_install to copy the order (mem_diff would be true).
The gx_ht_copy_ht_order would make a copy, but the one passed in
was never freed. Since the 'src' component information was cleared
during the install, gx_ht_read_and_install needs to save a copy of
the components so that the orders can be released.

Enhancement (graphics) : Delay applying type 1 raster patterns until clist interpretation.
DETAILS :
Bug 689579 "Ghostscript generates a very, very large temporary file".
The old code converts pattern fills into lots of constant color rectangles while writing to clist.
The new code writes pattern data to clist and apply pattern during the clist playback.
So here we complete the change started in revision 8655.
New functions gx_dc_pattern_write_raster, gx_dc_pattern_read_raster
implement color serialization for raster patterns.
The old function gx_dc_pattern_write got minor changes about buffer localization.
Minor chabge (gxclimag.c, gxclpath.c, gxclrect.c) : Propagated error codes.
Also fixed a bug occasionally found in gxclrast.c .
It caused a crash in some unusual conditions.
Fix (graphics) : Wrong pattern phase when pattern applies to a band with non-zero origin.
DETAILS :
The old code computes pattern phase modulo rep_width, rep_height.
It appears wrong when pattern step is much bigger than the pattern bbox.
Really the bbox determines the painting area as rep_width, rep_height,
but the phase to be computed modulo pattern step.
Besides that, the old code aplies a wrong sign, which is oposite to a band offset.
This bug has no effect with Postscript interpreter, because
currently patterns never apply after banding,
but it will change with the next patch.
With no banding the phase is always zero.
Other interpreters may need additional improvements
(we suspect they are bug-to-bug compatible).

Fix (graphics) : Convert imagemask into a clipping path when painting a big pattern.
DETAILS :
Bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".
In the past we implemented a conversion of imagemask intoi a clipping path
for a faster painting a shading color. Now we do same for big type 1 patterns.
1. Enhanced the condition in gximask.c for passing big patterns.
2. In gximask.c filter out degenerate rectangles,
which can't be painted with gx_device_color_fill_rectangle.
3. Set a pure black color in gsimage.c,
because patterns can't convert with gx_device_black.
4. In gxacpath.c added the default copy_mono method
to the clip list accumulator device in order to handle
imagemask with the pure color set by (3).
5. In gximask.c added a proper setup of device width and height
to clip list accummulator, because gx_default_copy_mono needs them.
6. In gximask.c gx_device_retain is now called on errors.
The old code does not call it, and we think it caused memory leaks
in some rare cases.
This patch changes the behavior with shadings, because the old code paints
imagemask with the shading color to clip list accummulator.
The new code does with pure black, so that now the clipping is not
restricted with the shading area or the shading BBox.
But we believe that the final result should be same
and the performance should be some faster.
Note we keep the call to gx_dc_pattern2_clip_with_bbox_simple
in gx_image_fill_masked_end rather now it is always idle.
Doing so for the case if this change will need undoing for shadings.
The new code doesn't use the writing of big patterns into clist,
which was done with recent revision 8655.
That change appears unneccessary for this particular bug.
However we want to keep it in HEAD branch because it may be useful
for further impeovements when imagemask produces a too big clipping list.
This patch causes a minor raster difference with Bug688396.pdf .
Delaying it for better times.
Since we always write a complete "classic" xref, the Trailer may need to be
adjusted: (1) remove keys that pertain to xref-streams and hybrid-xref PDFs;
(2) if it's a PDF stream, turn it into a PDF dict by removing keys used for
PDF streams (both standard and GS-specific), and the executable attribute.

Enhancement (graphics) : Delay applying big patterns until page clist interpretation.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing
the bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".
The old code decomposes the imagemask into rectangles,
each of which decomposed the pattern color into a huge list of rectangles.
See more about the old code in Comment #11 of the bug 689440.
Now we delay the decomposition until the page clist playback.
This patch reduces the clist file size for the bug 689440
from 355GB to an acceptable size of 316Mb. A further shortening
is possible as explained in (5) below. But the rasterization time is still
unacceptably long - more than 48 hours. It will be improved
in a next step with converting imagemask with pattern color
into a painting of a pattern color with a mask clip device.
1. The old functions gx_dc_pattern_write, gx_dc_pattern_read actually
are generic functions for multiple color types,
which simply return an error. Renamed them into
gx_dc_cannot_write, gx_dc_cannot_read.
2. Implemented new gx_dc_pattern_write, gx_dc_pattern_read for clist-based patterns.
They copy pattern clist data to/from page clist. Currently this code
doesn't try to compress the data, but probably we'll need to do that.
3. Changed a condition in gxclimag.c to pass imagemask
with a clist-based pattern color to clist writer.
Also moved some checks to provide image matrix to be computed
when the new condition is true.
4. Added more functions into gxclist.c, gxclist.h for accessing
data of a clist-based pattern.
5. gx_dc_pattern_read now constructs pattern cache and stores the
clist-based pattern "tile" to it. The clist reader releases the cache before exiting a band.
We will need an optimization agains redundant writing of patterns into page clist.
This necessary optimization to be done in a next step.
6. Propagated error codes in gxclread.c, gdevfax.c for easier debugging.
7. Improved debug printing in gxp1fill.c to designate
recursive calls to clist interpreter when a clist-based pattern
in interpreted while a page clist playback.
8. Added new accessors into gxpcmap.c, which are needed
to access pattern cache while a page clist interpretation.
9. Updated dependencies in makefiles.
10. Fixed the dependenco of gxdcolor.c on gxdevcli_h, which was missed before this change.
11. Added the pattern color type into the list in gxdcolor.c,
because now we need to write it into clist. An old comment
reads that it was not included against unuseful reference to
pattern stuff in a Postscript Language Level 1 build.
The reference now appears, and this is unfortunate.
We think that level 1 builds are not important in nowadays.
On necessity it may be improved in a separate change.

Implement loading of OpenType CFF font as a CIDFont resource in PDF reader.
Bug 689763, customers 531, 850.
DETAILS:
PDF can use OpenType font with ordinary CFF data as a CIDFont. Such a font is
referenced by /CIDFontType2 and may have /CIDToGIDMap table. The following
changes have been done to support this usage.
- A flag that forces CIDFont generation was added to CFF font loader.
- When the flag is on, CFF font is converted to a Type 9 CIDFont.
- The FontSet resource is returned by the value from the font loader
because it can be of either Font or CIDFont type,
- Since CIDMap has no effect on CIDFont Type 9, CIDToGIDMap is interpreted
by PDF reader to modify GlyphDirectory to the same effect.
- Unused CIDMap is no longer generated for CIDFontType2 objects that are not
TrueType CIDFont resources.

Enhancement (graphics) : Generalize prototypes of color serialization methods for big color data.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing
the bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".
The old serialization methods assume that color data can fit into a small buffer.
Now we want to drop this constraint to allow to write big patterns into clist.
See comment in code for details.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
This patch adds a new argument to color serialization methods.
For a while the new actual parameter is always 0,
and the (untrivial) methods check for it.
Fix (PDF interpreter): Optionally omit rendering of /.notdef glyphs
from TrueType fonts.
Details:
Bug #689757 "Extra square characters rendering PDF file".
When rendering glyphs in a TrueType font, and the glyph is not present
in the font, GS (correctly) draws the /.notdef glyph (or glyph ID 0)
instead. Under some conditions, however, Acrobat does not do so, but
does leave a 'gap' apparently corresponding to the width of the
original glyph (if a /Widths array is present), or the width of the
/.notdef glyph.
Exactly what causes Acrobat to do this is unclear. In the thread for
bug 687929 it was suggested that Acrobat was substituting a standard
font with a /.notdef defined as an empty glyph. However changing the
font name had no effect.
Using a pdfwrite-produced PDF file, if I remove the symbolic flag
from the font, and any direct reference to /.notdef in the Encoding
/Differences array, then Acrobat does not display the /.notdef
glyph. However, starting with a Distiller-produced PDF file, and
either altering the font to symbolic, or adding a direct /.notdef
to the Encoding, or both, makes no difference, Acrobat still does
not render the /.notdef glyph.
The behaviour of Acrobat is probably technically incorrect, but
we need to attempt to render files similarly, if at all possible.
However, since the appearance of a /.notdef is usually indicative
of an error, this has been made optional.
We can't substitute a space glyph for the /.notdef as has been
suggested, because we can't guarantee the existence of a space glyph
(eg Arabic, which has no space) and can't guarantee that the space
makes no marks even if present.
However, we still want to apply the Width of the glyph, so that
spacing works out correctly, if we simply skip the /.notdef glyph
then words may collide, as in the case of the file for this bug.
This means we must run the glyph through the text routines, as the
width is applied there.
A new user parameter '/RenderTTNotdef' controls whether glyphs
named /.notdef in a TrueType font should be rendered or not. This
is also controlled by a systemdict parameter /RENDERTTNOTDEF. The
PDF interpreter will set the user parameter to the same value as
the systemdict parameter, allowing this to be controlled from the
GS command line.
The user parameter defaults to 'true' which renders TrueType /.notdef
glyphs (so that these are properly rendered in PostScript), the
RENDERTTNOTDEF systemdict parameter defaults to 'false', which is
used by the PDF interpreter to set the user parameter, and therefore
disables rendering of TT /.notdef glyphs in PDF files.
Avoid a spurious warning "CS/cs (setcolorspace) operand not a name".

Updated the OpenPrinting Vector driver interface ("opvp", "oprp") to version 1.0.
Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect cmap aubtables written for 'non-symbolic' TrueType
fonts, when PDF/A output is enabled.
Details:
Bug #689754 "Substituting .notdef for "german umlauts" when generating PDFA".
Normally when writing TrueType fonts GS emits 'symbolic' TrueType fonts, and
correctly outputs both a 1,0 and 3,0 cmap subtable (with appropriate character
offsets, see section 5.5.5 of recent PDF specs).
However, when PDF/A output is enabled, and the TT font to be output only
contains glyphs from the Adobe Latin set, and these are ordered in
accordance with that set, then we emit a 'non-symbolic' TT font. (For PDF/A
we do not emit 'symbolic' fonts, if the font is not 'non-symbolic' then we
write a CIDFont instead.)
However, when writing the non-symbolic font, we continued to write the same
cmap subtables. Acrobat does not use the 3,0 subtable with non-symbolic fonts,
and falls back to the Mac Roman (1,0) subtable instead. For many glyphs this
works correctly, but if the font is WinAnsi compliant, and the glyph is one
of those for which the character position differs between Mac and Windows,
then the glyph cannot be found by Acrobat.
By writing a 3,1 (Windows Unicode) cmap subtable we can ensure this does not
happen, as Acrobat will use this in preference to the 1,0 subtable.
(gdevpsf.h) Add a new TrueType writing control flag WRITE_TRUETYPE_UNICODE_CMAP
This is used to control whether we write a 3,0 or 3,1 cmap subtable.
(gdevpdtb.c) When setting options for TrueType font writing, if we are
writing PDF/A, then set the new flag so we get a 3,1 Unicode subtable.
(gdevpsft.c) Create new boilerplate for a type 6 Mac Roman subtable,
followed by a type 4 Windows Unicode subtable. Create a new routine
'write_unicode_cmap_6' which uses the new boilerplate to write this
kind of subtable. In write_cmap, check if we have been asked to write a
Unicode cmap subtable, and use the new routine if so. Do not bias the
character codes if writing a Unicode table.

Fix (graphics) : Stroke width was wrong for short segments.
DETAILS :
Bug 689742 "Nearly missing dotted lines with anisotropic resolution".
Rather the bug title mentions anisotropic rendering,
the problem appears with isotropic one as well.
The bottom of the problem is that the function width_is_thin
used the dash longitude to know its direction,
which gives an incorrect (zero) result
for vertical segments of zero length.
That method became obsolete since revision 7706,
which intorduced the precise dash direction is a special data field.

Ghostsctript applies path adjustment as an implementation of

the lower adjustment was too wide, causing extra pixels to paint
when the lower coordinate of the rectangle falls to pixel center.
Besides that, the X adjustment was applied to Y axis.

Fix (pdfwrite): endstream/endobj not always emitted PDF/A compliant.
Details:
Bug #689755 "Keywords endstream and endobj not always preceded by EOL when generating".
The PDF/A specification mandates that the endstream and endobj operators
are always preceded by an EOL character (in the spec, EOL = carriage return,
linefeed, or carriage return/linefeed pair).
(gdevpdfb.c)
(gdevpdfu.c)
(gdevpdti.c) Ensure all endstream operators are preceded by a '\n' if we
are producing PDF/A.
(gdevpdfo.c) Add '\n' to the end of array and dictionary objects in
cos_array_write and cos_dict_write, if we are producing PDF/A. This
ensures that endobj is always preceded by a EOL as other object types
already conform.
Fix (vector device): Operation order could result in failure to

operations. If these failed, the clipping was not applied, apparently
causing problems for some devices (eg OpenPrinting Vector Printer).

Fix (pdfwrite): pdfwrite embedded TrueType/Type 42 fonts which
specifically forbid embedding.
Details:
Bug #689693 "GS embeds licensed fonts when generating PDF".
For Type 42 fonts, in order to prevent embedding fonts with license
restrictions we need to retrieve and honour the /FSType key if present
in the FontInfo dictionary of the font.
We also need to check the embedding status of TrueType fonts read from disk
in a similar fashion to Type 42 fonts downloaded in the course of the job.
Finally, when writing a TrueType font to a PDF file, we need to preserve any
existing embedding rights by setting fstype appropriately in the OS/2 table.
It is possible to permit font embedding even when the embedding rights
are non zero and we should preserve these.
(gxfont.h) Add a new parameter, EmbeddingRights, and a new flag
FONT_INFO_EMBEDDING_RIGHTS, to the gs_font_info structure.
(zfont.c) In zfont_info, if we request the EmbeddingRights, and the font has
a FontInfo dictionary, retrieve the FSType if present.
(gdevdtf.c) When determining whether a font may be embedded, retrieve the
font info, check the 'members' structure member after retrieving font info
to see if the EmbeddingRights member has been updated. Assume embedding
allowed if the member has not been updated.
(gxfont42.h) Add a new member os2_offset to the gs_type42_data structure, to allow
us to read from the OS/2 table later.
(gstype42.c) In gs_type42_font_init, when reading the TrueType Table directory, store
the offset to the OS/2 table.
In gs_truetype_font_info, if the caller has requested the embedding rights
and they haven't already been retrieved from an FSType entry in the
FontInfo dictionary, get the OS/2 table and pull the fstype value from there.
(gdevpsft.c) When writing a TrueType font, and we don't have an OS/2 table to
copy (appears to always be the case), check to see if we have any
embedding rights information in the original font, and preserve it if so
by setting the fstype entry in the OS/2 table.
Fix (vector device): %pipe% IO device being opened as seekable.
Details:
Bug #689428 "‘gs -sOutputFile=%pipe%cat’ doesn't work".
Based on the patch supplied by Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen.
(gsdevice.c) in gx_device_open_output_file, if the parsed out iodevice
is '%pipe%', then open the output 'file' non-seekable.
(gdevvec.c) Not strictly related, but gdev_vector_open_file_options could
use 'fclose' on a stream opened with gx_device_open_output_file. Altered
to use gx_device_close_output_file instead.

Fix (bbox device) : box_fill_path needs as path for shfill.
DETAILS :
Since revision 8017 the function gs_shfill includes a branch for
a faster handling of the Postscript operator shfill,
which does not provide a path to fill. It uses the clipping path instead.
The bbox device appears to be incompatible with that optimization.
This patch adds a special branch to bbox device to handle a shading fill
with no path.
Please note that since revision 8017 the call
dev_proc(dev, pattern_manage)(dev, gs_no_id, NULL, pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path)
must return a proper information about the device's fill_path method.
In most case it is doe with the default implementation gx_default_pattern_manage,
but the bbox device ises gx_forward_pattern_manage instead,
which appears wrong for bbox_fill_path. We decided to add an optomized branch
rather than apply the slow general method.

Fix (clist) : Some transparency compositor commands don't need CTM.
DETAILS :
The old code writes CTM with each transparency compositor command.
Actually it is only needed with begin_transparency_grup and
begin_transparency_mask. So we can skip CTM with
when writing other commands to shorten the clist file.
Note clist reader now sets zero CTM when reading transparency
compositor command with no CTM. We believe it is useful because
subsequent graphics objects need to restore CTM of a containing group.

Fix (clist) : Crop transparencsy commands while clist writing, step 3.
DETAILS :
This really crops transparency compositor commands with bands
that are covered by the transparency bbox.
Actually the statement above has one exception. When a transparency bbox
covers more that 2/3 of all bands, we still write the commands to
the "all bands" list for a shorter clist file. We noticed that
the clist playback time strongly depends on the file size.
1. The new method gs_composite_type_procs_t::get_cropping
replies what bands are covered by the compositor.
When it gives a non-trivial result, clist_create_compositor
writes the compositor command to those bands,
which are covered with the cropping (Exception :
if too many bands are covered, it writes the command to
the "for all bands" list).
2. Since some bands skip some compositor commands,
while clist reading the association of masks to groups
becomes more complex. Before this patch each group
was associates with the mask, which was created immediately
before it at same transparency stack level.
After this patch some groups may be skipped, so that
clist reader may recieve extra masks, because masks are
still use the container's group bbox. For skipping such extra masks
we provide a numeric identifier of a mask, which is named mask_id.
Here is how it works :
2.1. All masks recieve serial numbers (mask_id) while clist writing.
2.2. Each mask command is written with its mask_id.
2.3. Each group command is writen with mask_id,
which belongs to the mask that is assocuated with the group.
2.4. While clist playback pdf14_pop_transparency_group checks whether
the mask amd the group have same mask_id. If not, the mask is extra
and it must be droped.
2.5. Note the old assiciation logic is still working,
and it may skip some masks as well.
2.6. If the rasterization happens with no clist, mask_id is always zero.
In this case the old logics is only working.
Maybe we'll provide non-zero values someday.
2.7. See comments in code for more details.
3. The method gs_composite_type_procs_t::clist_compositor_write_update
is now some generalized. Before this patch it only updates the clist writer state
with the compositor features. With this patch it also adds
some information from the clist writer state to the compositor parameters.
Particularly it provides mask_id to the compositor command.
Thus now it updates *both* clist writer and the compositor parameters
to comply each another. For a while, in order to simplify the patch,
the compositor argument is still 'const'. Will need to fix someday.
4. Now we need to save mask_id in a stack that reflects the
transparency nesting. The cropping stack, which was introduced
in the last patch, now works for that. To provide that
we add mask_id to clist_writer_cropping_buffer_s,
and use clist_writer_push_no_cropping to save amsk_id
over inner groups.
5. state_update(ctm) in c_pdf14trans_clist_write_update is replaced
with code, which updates CTM from the transparency compositor command.
The old code is not fully correct, because it takes CTM from the imager state,
rather we havn't got prcatical cases when it gives a wrong result.
6. drop_compositor_queue now calls adjust_ctm for compositors being dropped.
The old code is incorrect because it can miss a CTM update when
a compositor sets some CTM and later a non-compositor object
sets same CTM. In this case the clist writer skips the second CTM on writing,
and skipping the first in the clist reader will miss the CTM completely.
We haven't got practical cases for that.
7. Improved some debug printing.
Fix (clist) : Crop transparencsy commands while clist writing, step 2.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation to the next step.
The patch introduces a transparency stack for clist writer,
which saves cropping when entering a transparency group,
and restores when exiting it. The cropping is being narrowed
with transparency group's bounding box.

Fix (clist) : Crop transparencsy commands while clist writing, step 1.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation to the next step.
In general, the behavior doesn't change,
but implementation details differ.
The old code maitains a flag cropping_by_y in the clist writer,
which triggers a cropping of objects by the Y axis.
The old code isn't perfect, because
it first crops by [cdev->cropping_min, cdev->cropping_max],
and then by [0, cdev->height].
In the new code we unite both croppings into a single one.
For doing that we remove the flag, and provide
the right interval [cdev->cropping_min, cdev->cropping_max]
in any case. Initially it is [0, cdev->height},
and it is narrowed when a shading bbox is set.
To restore the initial cropping after the shading
is complete, we maintain 2 new fields
save_croping_min and save_cropping_max.
So now the cropping mechanizm does not depend
on shading, and clients may set a croping when they need.
We'll use this feature in the next patch.
Fix for compression always falling back to no compression in
pclxl_write_image_data(), bug 689732.
Details:
After much tracing of srle.c and gdevpx.c I believe this bug is in
the portion of s_RLE_process() that looks ahead in order to be able
to optimally compress the data. Rather than attempting to modify the
function and probably breaking something else I'm taking the 99% solution
and just calling s_RLE_process with last set to true instead of false.
This disables the look ahead feature, presumably making the compression
very slightly suboptimal but at least now it works.
This change results in pxl files that are significantly smaller than
before (i.e. the test file associated with bug 689595 is reduced in size
from 1.1 megs to 387k).

Fix (pdfwrite): problems with type 3 fonts executing 'show'.
Details:
Bug #689685 "OpenType font incorrectly converted to PDF".
The File is from Quark XPress and contains a type 3 font which
executes a 'show' and a 'charpath stroke' with a glyph from a type
1 font. Further, it executes a 'charpath' on this type 3 glyph.
Pdfwrite was unaware, when processing the 'show' that this was
inside a charpath operation, and emitted the shown glyph.
Modified pdfwrtite to be aware that a charpath is in operation, and
to have the graphics library handle any show operations.
(gdevpdfx.h) Add a new flag 'type3charpath' to the gx_device_pdf
structure.
(gdevpdfb.h) Add an initialiser for the type3charpath flag (also for
the last_charpath_op which was missed in that change)
(gdevpdtt.c) In gdev_pdf_text_begin, if type3charpath is true, go
straight to the default text processing. Otherwise, check to see
if this is a type 3 font, and the operation is 'charpath'. If so
then create a pdfwrite text enumerator to process the text.
In pdf_text_process, if we have a type 3 font, the operation is charpath
and type3charpath is false, set it to true and go straight to the
default text handler. When the enumerator is completed, if type3charpath
is true, set it to false.
In pdf_text_process, while handling text, do not start accumulating a
charparoc if type3charpath is set.
Finally, in pdf_text_set_cache, if type3charpath is set, simply execute
the standard cache routine.
Fix (pdfwrite): problems with type 3 fonts executing 'show'.
Details:
Bug #689687 "Regression: pdfwrite DEVICE produces bad text".
The File is from Quark XPress and contains a type 3 font which
executes a 'show' and a 'charpath stroke' with a glyph from a type
1 font.
The code for revision 8265 converts these into a '2 Tr' in the
PDF file. However, I missed the case of this occuring inside a font,
resulting in much too large a strokewidth being set. This code takes
account of the font matrix.
NB there is still a potential problem. There is no way currently to tell
the difference between a charproc which explicitly sets a stroke width
and one which inherits it from the prevailing graphics state. Currently
we will write a font which always emits the stroke width at the time
the font was first used. There is no simple way to address this, we
could set the stroke width to an invalid value during the course of a type
3 glyph, and check it before emitting the stroke, but this is dangerous.
However, this seems unlikely to be a real problem in practice, since altering
the stroke width outside the font might result in unpredictable widths
dependent on the point size. I have chosen not to open a bug for the
possible condition at this time.
(gdevpdfd.c) gdev_pdf_stroke_path, if we are converting to a PDF text
rendering mode, and are inside a type 3 font glyph description, take the
font matrix into account when calculating the strokewidth.
This version is the next in our line of scheduled semi-annual releases.
There were approximately 55 bugs fixed since version 8.61. Some fixes
and improvements of note were:
COMPILE_INITS=1 was broken in 8.61 and now works as expected.
Fonts are now distributed in the Resource/Font directory and will be
included in the executable if COMPILE_INITS=1
The tiffsep device was fixed for using more than 8 colorants.
Shadings, overprinting and transparency were optimized and are substantially
faster than in 8.61, particularly for large format or high resolution
rendering when using the 'clist' banding mode.
Changes were made to prevent near unbounded growth in memory usage and
corresponding performance problems on a few test cases.
The 'pdfwrite' device was improved to fix some compatibility issues with
PDF/A and to improve some font embedding and other issues.
The 'ht_ccsto.ps' Stochastic Threshold array was completely changed to
be more useful. The values in the threshold array were inverted, so
the number of 'light' colors was limited and using it generally caused
prints that were too dark.
The 'runpdfbegin', 'dopdfpages' and 'runpdfend' PostScript pseudo-operators
that were inadvertently removed in 8.61 were restored. This also restored
the functionality of toolbin/pdf_info.ps to display PDF creator stats,
fonts used and page sizes.
The halftone tile cache sizes and cache effectiveness were improved to
help the performance when tiling with large cells or threshold arrays.
The following bugs were
open at the time of release:
Not strictly a compatibility issue, but the default URW (GPL) fonts are now
distributed in the Resource/Font/ path which can increase the number of
file handles open for PostScript that opens all of the resources. Also
the size of the %rom% rom file system within the executable when using
COMPILE_INITS=1 is larger by the amount needed for the fonts.
Also not strictly incompatible, but some alternate fixed-point code
was stripped out, so FPU_TYPE and other FPU related makefile macros
are gone or don't cause any difference in the code generated. Also the
'USE_ASM' macro was removed, since we expect modern compilers to do
sufficient optimization.
Some old (deprecated) "helper" scripts were removed: gsindent, gssubst,
many2pdf.tcl, and pre.
The unused 'cmap' (special color mapping) and 'ropc' devices were
removed from the distribution.
The 'ht_ccsto.ps' Stochastic Threshold array was completely changed to
be more useful. The values in the threshold array were inverted, so
the number of 'light' colors was limited and using it generally caused
prints that were too dark. This is an improvement, but incompatible
in that anyone using it previously would see much different grays/
colors.
The SYSTEM_CONSTANTS_ARE_WRITABLE compile time define was removed
as was the "EXTEND_NAMES" makefile macro (still accessible using
a compiler flag define).

Release notes for the 8.62 release. Thanks to Ray Johnston for compiling these.
Add default FontResourceDir needed when COMPILE_INITS=1 is used so
that the fonts from Resource/Font in the distribution directory that
are built into %rom%Resource/Font/ will be found.

Fix COMPILE_INITS=1. Note the next commit to the PCL tree will combine
with this one, but we can't commit to both trees atomically.
DETAILS:
Tested with Windows and linux. Needs OS/2 testing. Other build systems
may have bit rotted, and I don't hav them to test. Some of the changes
here are to allow working with a PCL or XPS only build where the PS
interpreter is not used/needed.
I noticed that the default systemparam value for FontResourceDir isn't
getting et to %rom$Resource/Font/ as it should, but GenericResourceDir
_is_ being initialized correctly to %rom%Resource/ which is _NOT_
fixed by this commit.
Attempt to repair invalid embedded TT fonts without cmap table.
Bug 689707, customer 531.
DETAILS:
1. Use identity cmap if it is missing from the TT file. Set an unknown
language ID to activate post table processing.
2. To avoid false rejection during the validation of post table run the
validator only on the TT files generated by an utility that is known
to write broken post tables.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued 6).
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
Ghostscript Bug 689718 "Regression: differences in FIG3.eps".
1. siscale.c : The revision 8529 patch part 4 tried to represent 'ceil' with rational
arithmetics. But when downsampling the argument still uses a floating
number WidthIn, so we still need 'ceil'.
This patch converts the formula back to floats,
assuming that double precision is enough for precise result
because source image size usually is smaller than 2^24.
The wrong rational representation of 'ceil' caused an array element index
to fall outside the array. Debugged with FIG3.eps.
2. Improved debug printing and visual trace.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued 5).
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
This is a further improvement to image placement precision.
Debugged with a.pdf .
The old code provides insufficientg precision when computing
transformation matrix for an image. This computation
include matrix inversion and matrix miltiplication.
The old code uses floats and causes a visible shift of subimages with banding.
The new code uses double precision.
We didn't test how it relates to the revision 7026 change,
which dectreased the matrix precision for CPSI compatibility.
It should be a separate job.
In the new gsmatrix.c code we simply duplicate old code fragments
and replace types for double. We don't want to define a template
for now. Will see after the code passes enough practical work.
Besides that, in gxidata.c replaced fixed2int_pixround
with fixed2int_pixround_perfect. It is not related to a.pdf,
but we believe it is an useful change.
In gxipixel.c the patch replaces dda_advance with a repeated dda_next.
The old code appears implrecise due to loosing fraction pixels.
It eliminates a 1 pixel difference with Bug688789.pdf .
Minor changes : inserted debug printing and visual trace.
Propagate the new method argument change introduced in r8528 to the wts
device so that it compiles again.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued 3).
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
1. The macro fixed2int_pixround returns a mathematically incorrect
result with negative half-integer arguments.
For example fixed2int_pixround(-2.5) = -3 when the math gives -2.
We guess it was designed for positive page coordinates only,
but later it was applied to objects with negative coordinates.
Particularly, an image can start outside the page with a negative coordinate,
and fixed2int_pixround causes distorsions with banding.
We do not update fixed2int_pixround for backward compatibility
of other parts of the algorithm. Instead that the patch defines
a mew macro fixed2int_pixround_perfect, and applies it to
images with Interpolate=true. (gxfixed.h, gxipixel.c, gxiscale.c).
2. Added gx_image_enum_s::yi0 to provide entire image origion in the page.
This value does not depend on band size, so it gives more stability -
see below. (gximage.h).
3. Added entire image sizes to stream_image_scale_params_s
for source image and scaled image. These values do not depend on band size
and provide more stability - see how they are used in siscale.c.
(sisparam.h, gxiscale.c).
4. (siscale.c) calculate_contrib now computes the filter kernel center
with global (page) coordinates of the image, using the right macro
fixed2int_pixround_perfect and with the rational arithmetics
instead floats. It gives the kernel center position relatively to source image
with no dependence on the band size. Also improved the debug printing
about that.
5. In siscale.c we keep track of some experiments done while
developing the patch. We need to save them to history because they're not trivial.
See comments in code. We'll remove them from trunk with a separate patch.
Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued 2).
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
This patch does not change the algorithm,
except adding a debug printing with y coordinate of an image rectangle
in the page coordinate systems. It allows to compare
image fragments, which fall to verious bands depending on band size.
We could wrap the definition of gx_device_memory_s::band_y
and all access to it with #ifdef DEBUG,
but we don't want to reduce the readability and because
memory and the CPU time expense is too small.
Fix for regressions introduced with rev 8526. Some resolutions of CMYK, 1-bit
per component devices that had CMYK colors and Gray colors had strange dithers.
Bug 689706.
DETAILS:
The previous changes missed changing the cache index logic in gx_render_ht_1_level,
If the cache had been set with one of the other routines, gx_render_ht_default or
gx_dc_ht_binary_load_cache, then gx_render_ht_1_level would be inconsistent.
EXPECTED DIFFERNCES:
This is expected to resolve the regressions from rev 8527 with pkmraw on:

Improve Halftone tile cache efficiency. Make default cache large enough
on default 32-bit (LARGE) configuration to allow for > 256 cache tiles
when using the 'ht_ccsto.ps' 167x167 Threshold array. Change cache
lookup logic to eliminate collisions when the number of cache slots
exceeds the number of levels (the normal case). Remove duplicated
ht cache default size #defines and normalize the names to end in
_size (to imply size in bytes) and be consistent with other similar
function/macro names.
DETAILS:
When we have more cache slots than the number of levels, we can use
the 'b_level' directly and don't lookup based on the 'number of bits'
(level). This ELIMINATES collisions and on customer 661's benchmarks
resulted in up to 40% performance improvement for some files with
no performance degradation on any when running a large threshold
array based halftone (as the customer does).
The previous -Z. behavior is retained, although small cache sizes
are of questionable value, and this is sort of confusing since a
small memory build will use the same cache size with and without
-Z.
Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued).
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
This is another partial fix for the bug 687345 for portrait images with Interpolate=true.
Debugged with CET 148-13.
1. The old code inprecisely computes the scaling factor
when interpolating images with Mitchel filter.
The computation was done with the subimage rectangle,
which is different for different bands.
The new code always computes the scale from the entire image rectangle,
which's size is same for all bands.
2. New fields are inserted into gx_image_enum_s and stream_image_scale_params_s
to provide data delivery for (1).
3. In calculate_contrib in siscale.c the variable input_index
is renamed into starting_output_index for a better reflection of its semantics.
4. In calculate_contrib in siscale.c the new variable dst_offset_fraction
is added for a preciser positioning of the filter center,
when it fails between device pixel rows. The old code missed fractional
pixels when stepping to a next band. The expression for its value
was created empirically, so it may need further improvements.
5. Inserted visual trace instructions for easier debugging.
6. Improved the debug trace printing.
Document the need to update the current documentation snapshot.

Include 12 and 16 bit image support as part of the core graphics
library. Bug 689688.
Details:
Previously, the core graphics library defaulted to including the
'no12bit' and 'no16bit' modules, which contained stubs. These modules
were replaced by full implementations when the psl2lib (12 bit) and
pdfread (16 bit) modules were included.
We now consider this build-time flexibility redundant. The extra code is
not large and the default build generally includes it as these images
are part of all the newer page description languages. We therefore
include the unpack routines directly in libcore and remove the
noi1xbit modules entirely.

Fix (pdfwrite): problems with unusual PDF text rendering modes.
Details:
Bug #689596 "Generated PDF loses an image from original".
Although the PDF interpreter stores both stroke and fill colours,
there is no way to pass both these colours to the graphics library.
The PostScript graphics state may only contain a single colour, and the
device interface only allows for a single colour to be passed.
The old code set the text rendering mode, and assumed that if the
current device was pdfwrite this would be sufficient. However the
need to set both colours causes this to fail.
Modified the pdf_ops to set a show/colour/charpath/stroke combination
instead. The existing code will spot text followed by a charpath of
the same text and collapse it back.
A number of other problems with text rendering modes were also addressed
at the same time, but in a less than optimal fashion. This patch
is a temporary fix while an enhancement is coded to better address
the problem.
(gdevpdts.c) pdf_render_mode_uses_stroke, was checking for render mode
not 0 (fill). Altered to check against the actual stroking modes.
(gdevpdtt.c) pdf_update_text_state was setting the text rendering mode
to 0 (fill) under most conditions. Altered this to set the mode from
the graphics state, unless the current font PaintType is 2 (stroke),
and the render mode is 0, in which case set render mode to 1 (stroke).
(pdf_ops.ps) Modify setshowstate to provide better methods of implementing
various text rendering modes to pdfwrite. Rendering is unaffected by
this change.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image.
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"
This is a partial fix for the bug 687345 for images with Interpolate=false.
Actually it is related to scaling raher than interpolation.
1. gx_image_enum_begin performed inaccurate coordinate computations,
which caused a different image bias for different bands
due to a wrong coordinate rounding.
The patch replaces it with a better code,
which provides same bias for all bands and for unbanded rendering.
But we're not sure that image placement is now perfect,
because the initial rounding looks strange.
We keep the initial rounding to be compatible with the old code
to minimize raster differences and easier visual analyzis.
For a while we keep the old code in #if 0 because
it may be useful for next patch.
2. image_render_frac contains optimized branches for the case when
image's axes are parallel to page's axes.
Those optimized branches convert parallelograms into rectangles,
except for the last parallelogramm in the chunk.
It caused the last parallelogram to shift in 1 pixel relatively
to the rectangles. This patch adds the optimized branch
for the last parallelogram, so that all image parts
are now placed with same rounding. It avoids rendering artifacts
with 148-05.ps and many other tests. Note that the patch does not fix
the rectangle shift from parallelograms,
so probably it still contain another bug,
which may need a separate fix.
3. While working on this patch we noted that update_strip
doesn't correctly preserve the fractional part for
dda.strip and dda.pixel . We include a track of that experiment
in the new code in #if 0 section for further development.
See comment in code.
4. Inserted visual trace commands for easier debugging.
Modify pdf_info utility to match the changes in PDF interpreter interface.

Fix (graphics) : Interpolated images were shifed in a half of source pixel.
DETAILS :
Bug 687039 "Interpolated images looks strange on Win32 display device".
1. The old code maps the center of the [0,0]th source pixel
to the output image origin. However Adobe maps
the source pixel's corner to the output origin.
This patch compensates the shift when computing the
filter kernel position - see '0.5' when computing 'center'.
2. When the filter kernel scans partially outside the source image,
the math requires to extrapolate source data somenow
to fill the kernel. However the old code performs some strange
computation, which we're not sure what for.
It looks as a rudiment of wrapping the source image
like a thorus. Well, it's an useful math for periodic patterns,
but not for single images. Since we never apply siscale.c to
patterns, we replace this code portion with a simpler one,
which duplicates pixels at image boundaries.
See attachment to the bug to prove that Adobe does so.

Fix (graphics) : Optimize filling a path with a shading color (continued 2).
DETAILS :
Bug 688970 "(shadings) Optimize filling a path with a shading color".
A minor code cleanup : Removing code portions that became unused.
Fix (TT): Ignore broken post 2.0 table generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer".
DETAILS:
This is the second fix for bug 689495, that is quite specific
to a TrueType font generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer".
"Windows Type 1 Installer" makes a TrueType font including broken
post table in format 2.0. Previous fix (SVN revision 8351) just
ignores such broken post table, and ISOLatin1Encoding is used
for fallback. When such TrueType font is combined with WinAnsiEncoding,
some glyph names (exists only in WinAnsiEncoding) cannot be resolved.
The post table format 2.0 uses 2 maps to assign a glyph name to
TrueType glyph index: the first map is from TrueType glyph index
to glyph name index (glyphNameIndex[] array), the second map is
from glyph name index to glyph name string (names[] Pascal string
array). The broken post table generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer"
seems to use name[] array by TrueType glyph index directly, and
the glyphNameIndex[] array has unreliable values.
This patch sets /.broken_post when the post table is broken (the
detection of broken post table is same with SVN revision 8351),
then use names[] array by TrueType glyph index when /.broken_post
is set.

Fix (graphics) : Optimize filling a path with a shading color.
DETAILS :
Bug 688970 "(shadings) Optimize filling a path with a shading color".
When filling a path with a shading color, the old code
first intersects the the clipping path with the path,
then intersects the result with the shading BBox.
However the intermediate result frequently appears to be
a big list of rectangles, so the second intersection is slow.
This patch accounts that the clipping path and shading BBox
frequently are rectangles, which are easier to intersect with
no converting to paths. Also the shading box is always a quadrangle,
so intersecting it early gives a smaller intermediate result.
Therefore we first intersect the clipping path with the shading BBox,
then with the path.
This patch keeps the old code within #if #endif
until the full regression testing is passed on the server.
Also would like to eliminate the old complicated function
gx_dc_pattern2_clip_with_bbox, which is still called from elswhere.

Fix: ignore the embedded font resource when PDF interpreter resolves
the unembedded font resource.
DETAILS:
Some PDF generators (e.g. Microsoft Office 2007 add-on to export the
documents to PDF format) emits incompatible font objects with same
resource name. The sample PDF in bug 689637 includes 2 "Times New
Roman" font objects: one is embedded CID-keyed TrueType for Cyrillic
glyphs, another is unembedded WinAnsiEncoding TrueType (possibly for
empty page header or footer). When PDF interpreter resolves latter
unembedded "Times New Roman", external font resource should be used
(Adobe Reader does so). But current Ghostscript uses former embedded
"Times New Roman", because the sample PDF includes "Times New Roman"
without randomization prefix.
To avoid the confusion between embedded and unembedded fonts with
same name, pfont->is_resource flag (=0 embedded, =1 unembedded)
is checked during font object resolution. Even if a cached font
object with same name is found, it is ignored if it is embedded
font. To execute this check in PostScript space (pdf_font.ps),
new operator ".isregisteredfont" is introduced. This patch assumes
that embedded font object in PDF is resolvable by tracking the
indirect object references. If a PDF assumes name-based resolution
of embedded font object (without indirect object), it may be
rendered by external font resource. At present, we don't have
such sample.

Fix (TT): Fix a bug in /getinterval_from_stringarray
DETAILS:
getinterval_from_stringarray is a procedure defined to
extract a substring from long table of TrueType font.
When a table is too long to fit into 16bit-length string
object in PostScript, gs_ttf.ps split the table into
the array of strings. When getinterval_from_stringarray
is requested to extract a string which starts in one
member and ends in following member, it returns a string
that only the content of the first member is copied.
There was a wrong conditional that made the substring
extraction aborted. It was fixed to return the correct
substring.
By this fix, bug 689593 (IPA font 2007 edition cannot
be parsed correctly) is closed.

Fix (clist & transparency) : Improve the compositor queue logic (continued).
DETAILS :
The last commit is incomplete due to human error.
Please don't use the last revision.
Bug 689492 "Ghostscript uses a large amount of memory", part 2.
This patch fixes the missed shadow of a text, which is mentioned
in the Comment #8 of the bug report.
1. Added macros for configuring visual trace for easier debugging.
2. The idle transparency bufer allocation condition was wrong.
The patched code allocated ;esser buffers.
3. Found more cases when a mask needs to be released.
4. The old code immediately executes idle masks.
It caused a wrong order for compositor execution
with images that have a soft mask.
With the test case the image's mask was executed before
the group that containing the image.
It caused a premature releasing of a mask,
which preceeeds the group and must noy be released.
The new code delays the execution of idle masks
after all containing groups are executed,
so that the queue is now longer and stores all masks.
We beleive that's not harmful, because
transparency queue elements are pretty small and
work for hos based applications only.
The new function mark_as_idle works for the new logic.
Few aother functions are enhanced with a smarter
processing of the idle flag.
5. Improved comments for the compositor queue logic.

Fix (transparency) : Memory leak after an image with soft mask.
DETAILS :
Bug 689492 "Ghostscript uses a large amount of memory".
When a PDF command stream executes "/d1 gs /d2 gs" where d1 and d2 both define an
untrivial SMask (not important whether they are same mask or different masks),
the second mask replaces the first one, and the first one to be released.
When a transparent group includes an image with a soft mask
(this case happens in the test document for the bug), the image's soft mask must
*temporary* replace the groups soft mask, and the first mask must not
be released.
The old code does not distinguish these cases, assuming that
a mask buffer is being released after rendering a group with it.
Due to that some mask buffers were never released,
causing a memory leak with banded rendering,
because the clist interpreter doesn't run the garbager.
A simpler case for demonstrating the leak could be created with
"/d1 gs /d2 gs" as explained above.
The patch defines a new bool gs_transparency_mask_params_s::replacing,
gx_transparency_mask_params_s::replacing and gs_pdf14trans_params_s::replacing
for passing the necessary information through old interfaces.
Note that as usual we cannot change the device interface for
an easier passing of this info, because we need to maintain
the compatibility with 3d party devices.
Using the 'replacing' flag, pdf14_push_transparency_mask either replaces
the old mask buffer, or creates a new one as a temporary substitution for
an image with a soft mask. In the second case the group mask is
saved in the last transparency stack element in the field
buf->maskbuf. After rendering the image's group
the function pdf14_pop_transparency_group restores
the saved mask buffer, as it was set in the transparency context
before starting the image's mask. For more details see
comments added into gdevp14.c .
Fix (Font renderer) : Horizontal metrics sometimes applied with WMode 1 fonts.
DETAILS :
Bug 689464 "Japanese font writing direction (vertical ?)".
Bug 689646 "vertical text rendered by external CIDFontType0 flows horizontal".
1. When a descendent font of a type 0 CID font has zero FontBBox,
use the FontBBox of the CID font. This is another case when
a 3d party software generates a font with zero FontBBox.
We believe that such font data is incorrect,
but this patch provides a simple workaround.
2. When FontBBox to be used to compute Metrics2,
don't obtain sbw from type 1 glyph descriptions.
The old code does so causing the horizontal metrics
to be used when rendering a WMode 1 font.
3. The case (2) appears to have an exception,
when the font has CDevProc. In this case
we do need sbw from the glyph description
to provide arguments for CDevProc.
See alse the comment added to code.
Note that Type 1 font renderer now depends on some knowledge about type 0 CID font.
But this dependence does not break the configurability
because only an .h file is included into the Type 1 font renderer.

Fix (patterns) : The clipping was wrong with antrivial pattern matrix.
DETAILS :
Bug 687196 "Incorrect pattern processing from Adobe test file pattyp1.ps".
This is a partial fix for the bug, which fixes raster devices only.
1. The old code always sets a canonic rectangular clipping,
which is wrong with rotated or skewed matrices.
Note the patch resets path in the pattern's graphic state.
It is not done in the old code, so it may cause raster diferences.
But it is required in PLRM chapter 8 by the definition of 'makepattern'.
2. Adjust the pattern matrix to pixel grid.
After doing the change (1) the clipping area appears too small for some cases.
It happens because the tile origin falls at fractional pixels,
The new code causes a massive raster difference, which actually is minor
(a shift of some pattern instances in 1 pixel).
Note that PLRM requires to adjust pattern matrix in the definition of 'makepattern',
but doesn't explain how to.
3. In compute_inst_matrix perform computations in 'float'
because the matrix is represented with 'float'.
4. (miror change) Expanded the 'mat' macro for easier debugging with MSVC.

Fix (shadings) : A memory deallocation problem.
DETAILS :
Bug 689660 "memory deallication problems with shadings".
The old code used pdev->memory for temporary storing
an intersection of clipping path with shading bbox.
This is the global memory space.
However if the intersection is trivial,
the path of the clipping path is copied from the
original clipping path, which is allocated in the local memory space.
Later it causes a freeing of path segments to a wrong memory space.
This patch chooses the original clipping path's memory space
when the clipping path is available, and the global space otherwise.

Fix (save/restore) : Compact the changes list against big memory leak.
DETAILS :
Bug 689536 "Memory leak reading PostScript file (PMR 53877).".
The old implementation includes an optimization agains a big CPU time expense
in 'save' and 'restore' for sedtting and resetting l_mark flags.
Normally, when executing 'save', the memory manager needs
to reset l_new marks for objects modified or allocated at the last save level,
so that their further modification on the next save level to be saved
in the changes list. When executing 'restore' these flags to be set
to prevent redundant save.
When the last save level includes many allocations,
the number of scanned objects is big and it causes a significant
time expense. A long ago Ghostscript implements an optimization,
which shorten the scanned list against the big time expense.
However the shortening causes redundant saving.
The redundant saving itself isn't harmful because
it happens seldon and spends a small memory.
However if a redundant save element points to a reference to
a newly allocated array or dictionary, the array or dictionary
can't be garbage collected. When a client executes such allocation and
same reference modification multiple times, all allocated arrays
and dictionaries persist in memory, causing a significant memory leak.
This patch compacts the saved change list whem a significant memory
allocation is accummulated since last save or since last compacting.
The new field gs_ref_memory_s::total_scanned_after_compacting
works for counting allocated elements. The new function
drop_redundant_changes performs the compacting. See comments in its code.
The threshold for starting drop_redundant_changes is choosen arbitrary.
It must not be too small, because the CPU time expense
optimization wouldn't be effective. Also it can't be too big,
because the memory leak recovery would not be effective.
This patch sets it to about 1600000 objects,
which is an experimental trade-of.
Note that this patch reduces the memory leak but doesn't
eliminate it to zero, because more data may be allocated
after the last filtering.
We could implement a filtering within the garbager rather
than withis save/restore. Actually it wouldn't change
the behavior to much, because the threshold would be still needed
against the CPU time expense, It happens because the scanning
deals with array or dictioanr elements rather than with
whole aggregates. Also we don't want to complicate the garbager.
Note that the arbitrary threshold is bigger than neccessary
for the simplified test case included into the bug report.
Due ti that the leak elimination does not happen with this test.
For the compacting to take place the sequence "NEWJOB Z"
to be repeated 90 times rather than 40 in the supplied test.
The customer's test does demonstrate the leak reducing.

Fix (clist interpreter) : Skip idle compositors, step 5.
DETAILS :
This really skips compositors which don't paint anything.
Compositor parameter list structures are extended with a new boolean field 'idle'.
These fields pass information whether something was painted to a compositor.
We choosen this way for passing this info because
(1) we can't change the device inteface with new function arguments, and
(2) we need to pass it through the device chain
(for example, when a clipper is installed onth the overprint device).
This patch only affects the transparency and the overprint.
Other compositors (gsalphac.c, gxropc.c) behave as before.
They may need further improvements.
This patch does not fix the bug 689492.
That fix may be done either before or after this one,
but in any case the patches need to adopt each to another.
The new compositor virtual method is_closing
checks whether a current compositor command
closes an older command, and finds the opening command.
Now we provide untrivial implementations for transparency and overprint compositors.
Would like to define an enum for return values of is_closing.
The old device method create_compositor now passes the 'idle' parameter via
gs_composite_s structure. By default it is false and the behaviour
is same as before. But the clist interpreter is modified
to provide true value when a compositor doesn't paint anything.
To compute this flag the compositor queue now works with its full power.
Note we changed the queue representation with a bilikned list.
This patch entroduces the concept of 'friendly operations'
for compositor operations. These are those operations, which
may interchange with compositor installation/deinstallation.
One example is halftone operations, which always affect
the device below the compositor device, i.e. the target device
of the compositor device. The new compositor virtual method
is_friendly is implemented in an intrivial way for the
transparency compositor especially to exchange with halftone
operations while queueing clist operations.
This especially helps to delay the pdf14 device installation
so that it may completely annihilate with its deinstallation
if nothing is painted through the compositor in a band.
Overprint and transparency compositor implementations
are changed with checking the idle flag.
If it is set, they don't perform neither color blending, nor
raster buffer allocation. Note the pdf14 device maintains the buffer stack
as before, but the allocation of buffers may be skipped.
It saves significant time from cleaning up raster buffers when they are idle.
This patch may need further improvements for the case when
different compositor types are mixed in one queue.
We could not fully test it due to absence of practical tests.
Another useful improvement would be to convert
"0 .inittransparencymask 1 .inittransparencymask dict .setblendparams"
into a single command. It would simplify the compositor queue logic.
Also we think that the name .inittransparencymask doesn't reflect the function purpose.
Will improve someday.
We're not sure whether this patch correctly works with idle masks.
We could not debug it due to no practical cases.
Possibly idle mask will need an additional effort to skip
the group painting to the band.
Also disabled cmd_put_halftone in c_pdf14trans_clist_write_update -
see comment in code.
Monor change : Inserted a visual trace support for transparency buffers.

This was an attempt to implement PCL raster operations as an interposed

function in more color spaces, it was never completed, and presents
a maintenance burden for ongoing clist improvements. We are therefore
removing it. It can be reinstated later as a starting point for further
development if needed.

Fix (transparency) : Unwinding the nested masks logic.
DETAILS :
The patch 8340 appears to be optimized for a particular case,
in which a call to pdf14_push_transparency_group
"will have been preceded by pdf14_push_transparency_mask ... pdf14_pop_transparency_mask".
This assumption is not true in general, when the clist interpreter
skips idle groups (either with incoming improvement or
with using the band complexity array).
This patch unwinds the change 8340 and the dependent change 8342.
It also simplifies the garbager descriptor for pdf14_buf_s.
The nested mask problem is now reopen,
but we intend to close it shortly with a different patch.

Store the posix persistent cache's last modified line as an unsigned
long to avoid portability problems when reading and writing. Bug 689604.
DETAILS:
Previously we used time_t directly, but read and wrote it to the
filesystem using the %ld printf format specifier, which is wrong
on systems where long int and time_t are different widths. Instead
we stort it as an unsigned long int, coercing the return value of
time(). This will be a year 2038 problem on systems with 32 bit longs,
but seems the better option for portability now. There is no cast,
so the compiler should warn if this loses precision.

from a symbol dictionary, when using refinement/aggregation.
Details:
Bug #688945 "jbig2dec FATAL ERROR decoding image: aggregate

Improved the previous patch. We need to have a symbol dictionary
which contains all the original symbols, plus all the symbols decoded
so far, for the refinement/aggregation. Previously we created this
anew for each symbol, this patch creates the dictionary once at
the start of the dictionary decoding, and releases it when decoding
is complete.
Also releases the Huffman tables (if used), which was missed
in the previous patch.

Fix (jbig2dec): Missing support for decoding multiple symbols
from a symbol dictionary, when using refinement/aggregation.
Details:
Bug #688945 "jbig2dec FATAL ERROR decoding image: aggregate
coding with REFAGGNINST=2 (segment 0x03)".
Added missing support. When decoding a symbol dictionary, using
refinement/aggregation, and decoding multiple symbols, we need
to use text region decoding (single symbols use refinement
region decoding, already implemented).
This required making the text region decoding procedure available
to the symbol dictionary decoding routine, and correctly
initialising the parameters.
(jbig2_text.h) New include file. The 'Jbig2TextRegionParams'
structure and Jbig2RefCorner enum have been moved here from
jbig2_text.c, and a prototype for 'jbig2_decode_text_region'
created.
Added pointers for the adaptive arithmetic decoder tables to the
Jbig2TextRegionParams structure, as these tables must now be passed
to the decoder routine (see below) rather than initialised in it.
(jbig2_text.c) Modified the 'jbig2_decode_text_region' routine to
take the arithmetic decoder state or data stream (for Huffman
decoding) as a parameter. When being called from the symbol
dictionary decoder we must use the current decoder state; removed
the initialisation of the decoder state, this is passed as a
parameter Removed the initialisation of the adaptive arithmetic
decoder tables, these are now passed as part of the
Jbig2TextRegionParams structure.
Modified 'jbig2_parse_text_region' to create and initialise the
arithmetic decoder state (or data stream for Huffman). If
using adaptive arithmetic encoding, create and initialise the
tables.Required now that these are parameters to the text
region decoder.
(jbig2_symbol_dict.c) 'jbig2_decode_symbol_dict', when we
encounter refinement/aggregation with REFAGGNINST > 1, instead of
flagging an error create a Jbig2TextRegionParams structure (if
not already present), initialise the arithmetic decoder tables, and
call the text region decoder to create the bitmap. If we already
have a Jbig2TextRegionParams structure (because we have already
decoded a symbol this way) just use it as the argument to the
text region decoder.
Use a smaller buffer for eexecDecode filter to avoid consumption of the data
that follow a short (and incorrect) run of 0's in PS files generated by

DETAILS:

fixes the bug but doesn't cause regession in comparefiles/fonttest.pdf.
Detection of EOF after seing a run of 0's is worth to note as an alternative.

Fix (clist interpreter) : Skip idle compositors, step 3.
DETAILS :
The clist writer writes the 'create compositor' operation to all bands,
including ones that are not covered by a transparency.
It does so because this operation changes the number of color components.
When rendering a specific band, it frequently happens that a compositor
is created and then immediately destroyed. Such thing happens outside
the transparency bbox, and within the transparency bbox if
the band has no transparent objects. When compositor is created,
it allocates a big raster buffer and cleans it.
Due to that we observe a significant CPU time expence
when running the test case of the bug 689155.
This patch is a preparation for further improvements.
This patch includes CTM into pdf14 compositor params
(see changes to c_pdf14trans_read, c_pdf14trans_write, clist_create_compositor).
The result should be same as the old code, but the algorithm is different.
The old code wrote CTM as a separate command before cmd_opv_ext_create_compositor.
The new code does not, and in many cases compositor commads
immediately follow each another.
The last fact changes the behavior of the compositor queue :
before this patch it consisted of 1 element maximum,
but after it the queue becomes longer (up to 10 elements
with SoftMaskGroup.pdf). A bug is fixed in the queue logic
in gxclrast.c ln 1355.
The queue is still immediately executed
when a non-compositor command appears in the input stream.
An annihilation of neighbour idle compositors will be a next step.
Minor changes:
- added a new method adjust_ctm to gs_composite_type_procs_t.
- added type checks with composite_*_proc macros to all compositor types.
- dependencies were broken for gdevp14.c in lib.mak .

The change is algorithmically equivalent.
It implements a compositor queue for a delayed applying of compositors.
Nevertheless currently the compositors are still applied immediately

Replace the "tricky" unit_frac macro with a normal function call. The

previous code, reviewed by Ralph Giles.
Fix (shadings) : Optimize fill_linear_color_scanline with analitic computation of the color change position.
DETAILS :
Debugged with the test case of the bug 689155.
This optimizes slightly changing gradients.
It speeds up the test case from 6 hours to 5 hours.
The old code in gx_default_fill_linear_color_scanline
recomputes color for each pixel.
The new code checks whether neighbour pixels have same color,
and if so it finds the color change position
with solving a linear equation,
and fills entire constant color interval
without computing color for each pixel.
The linear equation is solved with 64 bits arithmetics.
We would like to create a 32bits algorithm someday.
We think it is possible with rounding colors to 16 bits
and restricting a run length with 15 bits.
Note it must not accummulate rounding errors,
so it needs to compute from the run start at each iteration.
So if the scanline is wide, first split it into smaller ones
by coordinates, then break each subscanline into runs by color changes.

Fix (shadings) : Optimize path manipulations for shading fill (continued).
DETAILS :
Debugged with the test case of the bug 689155.
A long ago the graphics library converted the sfill clipping into a path.
It was improved with revision 8017 with introducing
a device response for pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path.
However the revision 8017 appears incomplete :
it missed the related change to the clist writer device
and to pdf14 device. This patch fixes it.
This patch causes a progression for the problem
known as bug 689338 "Raster depends on bands".
With banded rendering some shadings are now painted some wider,
and the raster appears equal to one from unbanded rendering.
It happens because the old code doesn't convert shfill clipping
into a path when no banding, and does convert when banding.
The new code does not convert in both cases.

Fix (pdfwrite): Fonts containing glyphs with no sbw or hsbw
instruction caused pdfwrite to crash.
Details:
Bug #689544 "Segmentation fault writing PDF file".
The job contains a number of fonts apparently converted from
TrueType to type 1. The /.notdef glyph in every case consists
only of an endchar instruction. Techincally invalid since the
specification says the first instruction must be either an sbw
or hsbw instruction.
This causes a crash because gs_type1_glyph_info didn't create
a path before interpreting the glyph. If we encountered a path
operation before a sbw instruction we attempted to write to the
non-existent path.
(gxtype1.c), gs_type1_glyph_info, create a path for the type 1
interpreter to work with. Make it a bbox_accumulator so we don't
allocate memory for path segments.
(gdevpsfu.c), psf_check_outline_glyphs, if we get an invalidfont
error return from the font's 'glyph_info' procedure, don't exit

Fix (clist interpreter) : Transparency caused a wrong color depth.
DETAILS :
Bug 689520 Regression: 1bpp and grayscale output broken.
The clist interpreter clist_playback_band maintains 2 devices :
the clist reader and target. The clist reader device stores
private interpreter's data. However using a device structure
for this purpose is pretty confusing, because the target
device may have same device fields with different values.
Particularly while processing a transparency, the target device
chage to a transparency buffer device,
which may have a different number of color components.
The problem happens due to the clist interpreter used
a wrong device to obtain the number of color components.
This patch changes the code with taking color components
from the target device.
Now we don't try to analyze all other access to the clist device -
it should be a subject of a separate job.
Therefore the code may need further improvements.
The right way would be to define a special structure for the clist interpreter,
and to drop the clist reader device at all.

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace (continued 2).
DETAILS :
The last patch (rev 8365) appears incorrect and causes crashes with halftoning devices.
The problem happens due to gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map
has been initialized too early in clist_reader_init.
At that moment the device is still a clist writer,
but the field offset_map belongs to clist reader.
Due to gx_device_clist_s is a union, the field overlaps band_range_list.head,
and the letter was prematurely reset. It caused some commands were not written
to clist file while the page closes. With the test case (pbmraw -r300 012-01.ps)
it missed cmd_opv_ext_put_halftone and did not miss cmd_opv_ext_put_drawing_color
with color index type == ht_binary. It caused the crash in gx_dc_ht_binary_readdue to
pis->dev_ht was not set. (cmd_opv_ext_put_halftone does set, but it was missed).
The log message of the revision 8365 reads :
"This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build."
This statement is false due to the premature initialization of
gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map.
This patch fixes that with removing its initialization from
clist_reader_init. A subsequent call to clist_render_init initializes it.

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace (continued).
DETAILS :
The last patch appears incorrect for the debug build
and causes crashes sometimes. Not sure why local testing didn't detect that.
This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build.
In the debug build it fixes problems of the last patch.
1. Offset map could be prematurely released by the garbager
(It could cause a crash. Not sure why the local test didn't detect it).
A new pointer gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map prevents that.
Added it to the garbager descriptor and provided its initialization.
2. buffer_segment_index can fail with returning a negative index.
Checked that and propagated error codes.
4. Besides top_up_cbuf, the buffer topping up also happens
with calling memmove when reading bitmap data.
Added calls to top_up_offset_map for accounting that.
5. See comment in top_up_offset_map about the improved invariant.
6. The prototupe of top_up_cbuf is changed with passing the error code.
Due to that the variable 'cbp' is droped the 'register' modifier.
We believe it won't cause a visible slowdown because
modern compilers are smart enough.
7. Do not maintain offset_map when -ZL is not specified.
It saves some CPU time with debug build.
Refactor the gs int.mak and lib,mak to simplify building COMPILE_INITS=1 without PS (PCL
only build). Make sure gs/src/ugcclib.mak does conditional assignment of COMPILE_INITS

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build.
In the debug build it only adds a new debug printing.
Let clist segment is consecutive instuctions buffered for same band.
1. gx_device_clist_writer::ins_count counts clist segments.
2. cmd_prefix_s::id is the number of clist segment that it belongs to.
3. stream_band_read_state_s::offset_map stores a table for mapping
clist segments' buffer offsets to clist file offsets.
4. s_band_read_init_offset_map, s_band_read_dnit_offset_map,
clist_file_offset, top_up_offset_map maintain the table.
5. Inserted a debug printing into gxclutil.c, gxclrast.c .
Fix (clist) : A preparation for providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace.
DETAILS :
We would like this change to be algorithmically equivalent,
but the proof is too complex. Therefore we commit it separately
in order to check for raster differences.
1. Inserted a new field into cmd_prefix_s.
For now this field is never used, but it changes memory allocation.
Due to that the bufferring in the clist writer goes slightly different.
Particularly it may cause new effects while restarting failed instructions.
2. Early return from top_up_cbuf when the stream is over.
The new code does not top up the last portion of the data stream.
It shouldn't be important for the reader, but we can't proove for sure.
This change is necessary because we want to add more fields to gx_clist_state_s,
and the new fields would be invalid after s_close resets stream::state.
See the next patch for details.

Fix (pdfwrite): type 3 fonts with exceedingly small BoundingBox
entries were clamped to 0 or 1.
Details:
Bug #689537 "FontBBox wrong in pdf generated by ps2pdf (breaks
acrobat 8)".
The type 3 font has a FontBBox of [0 0 0.3 0.3]. Because
pdfwrite uses integers to record the font bounding box, this was
being clampled to [0 0 1 1]. This should not cause a prolem, but
for unknown reasons causes Acrobat 8 to render *very* slowly.
(gdevpdtf.h), 'struct /*type 3*/', alter the FontBBox member from
a gs_int_rect to a gs_rect to preserve floating point box values.
(gdevpdtt.c), pdf_make_font3_resource, copy the font bbox values
instead of floor'ing the lower and ceil'ing the upper values.
(gdevpdfu.c), create a new function 'pdf_write_font_bbox_float'
to write the bbox as floats instead of ints.
(gdevpdfx.h) prototype 'pdf_write_font_bbox_float'
(gdevpdtw.c), pdf_finish_write_contents_type3, use the new
routine to write out a floating point bounding box.
Fix (pdfwrite): named objects, created via a pdfmark such as /BP,
could not have their content modified after the object was completed.
DETAILS:
Bug #689104 "Overwriting transformation /Matrix in XObject previously
created with /BP & /EP pdfmarks".
Some pdfmarks, such as /BP create named objects. These can accumulate
information until a matching pdfmark (/EP in this case) completes the
object. When complete, objects were written to the final destination
PDF file. This made it impossible to later modify the object.
(gdevpfm.c) pdfmark_bind_named_object, change the call to
pdf_substitute_resource to defer writing the object to the
destination file, if the object is named. This means the object is still
available for modification until the end of the job. NB if the object
is not named, we still write it immediately, as there is no mechanism
for modifying an unnamed object, nor do we currently have a mechanism
for maintaining a record of unnamed objects.

Fix: Ignore problematic post table in format 2.0 with ISOLatin1Encoding glyph names.
DETAILS:
Some TrueType fonts converted by "Windows Type 1 Installer" have
problematic post table format 2.0 including MacGlyphEncoding
entries which should be omitted. Such extra entries in the
beginning of glyphName array make /Encoding broken. By checking
if glyph name in post table is predefined one in MacGlyphEncoding,
such problematic post table can be detected. By ignoring such
problematic post table, bug 689495 is fixed.
However, some TrueType fonts designed for Microsoft redefines
MacGlyphEncoding glyph name out of predefined range. To permit
such font, the post table in format 2.0 is checked by
ISOLatin1Encoding which is the cross section of MacGlyphEncoding
and WinAnsiEncoding. ISOLatin1Encoding is enought to fix the
bug 689495.

Change pdf_base.ps::.pdfrun and pdf_sec.ps::.decpdfrun to ensure
"PDFScanRules" == "true" while scanning the PDF, and if necessary revert
it back to "null" before returning. Thanks to SaGS for the patch. Bug 688598.
DETAILS:
The bug is triggered by the construct "//DeviceGray" found in the sample PDF.
The following command fails with the same error as GSView, and for the
same reason:
pdfopt.bat media_365163.pdf output.pdf
When Ghostscript interprets a PDF directly, most of the job is done by
LIB\pdf_main.ps::dopdfpages which sets "PDFScanRules" correctly. However,
the initial part of scanning the PDF (trailer dict, ...), and the rebuild
logic scan the PDF with wrong "PDFScanRules". Also GS's own various tools
and GSView don't set/ reset it as needed.
Implementation details:
(A) ".pdfrun" and ".decpdfrun" dinamically construct procedures that do the
real work and immediately execute them. The patch changes these procedures
to include setting/ restoring "PDFScanRules". If "PDFScanRules" == "true"
already, then "setuserparams" is not called at all, so normally
(when ".[dec]pdfrun" executed during "dopdfpages") there's practically no
impact on performance.
There are also "token" calls outside these 2 procedures, but these calls are
for scanning the xref and "# # obj" lines, which don't contain PDF name
objects.
(B) ".getuserparam" GS-specific operator changed to recognize scanner options
too ("PDFScanRules" and "PDFScanInvNum"). This is needed by ".[dec]pdfrun"
for restoring "PDFScanRules"; also used for an optimization (to omit calling
"setuserparams" when not actually needed).
Note:
For "Process[DSC]Comment" it returns "true" if a procedure
is set, and not the actual procedure. To retrive the
procedures (or null if none set), use "currentuserparams".
(C) ".currentuserparams" is NOT modified, so it does not return scanner
options. If it did, these ended up being put into "userparams" and be
affected by "save"/ "restore" (see the redefinition of "restore" in
gs_lev2.ps).
Stop reading the xref+trailer at the closing ">>" because PDF 1.7 Reference
made "startxref" optional in some cases. Thanks to SaGS for thr patch.
Bug 688283.
DETAILS:
The PDF 1.7 Reference, section F.2.3 "First-Page Cross-Reference
Table and Trailer (Part 3)", 2nd paragraph on page 1031 states:
"The first-page trailer may optionally end with startxref, an
integer, and %%EOF, just as in an ordinary trailer. This
information is ignored."
(note the word "optionally"), so in such a case a PDF interpreter
cannot rely on anything particular (like "startxref"/ "startref"/
"xref") to follow the trailer dictionary. Now consider a linearized
PDF being incrementally updated, and you get that in the general
case a "previous trailer" may lack the "startxref". Apparently,
Acrobat does a similar thing when creating hybrid-ref PDFs.

Fix (pdfwrite): Type 1 CharStrings could be converted to invalid
type 2 CharStrings if the glyph program used implicit start points
for subpaths.
DETAILS:
Bug #689055 "pdfwrite creates a bad Type1C font"
If a type 1 CharString used an implicit point, either the initial point
(0,0) or the point resulting from a closepath, then the type 2 output
code duplicated this. Unfortunately this is illegal in type 2 CharStrings
where each subpath must begin with one of the 'move' instructions.
(gdevpsfx.c) psf_convert_type1_to_type2, create a new boolean variable
'need_moveto' initialised to true. When we encounter a move operation,
set it to false. When we encounter a closepath, set it back to true.
Thus this variable is always true at the beginning of a subpath, and
becomes false as soon as a move instruction is encountered.
While converting type 1 CharStrings, whenever the current instruction is
a line drawing operation, if 'need_moveto' create a move instruction,
taking account of any pending glyph widths.
This is only performed on the second (conversion) pass through the type 1
CharSrtring as we don't need to worry about this during the first (hint
collection) pass.
Include an example of how to create non-ASCII font names in the cidfmap.

Use the proper build machinery to link to cups.
DETAILS:
Previously, the configure script just appended the output of cups-config
to CFLAGS and LIBS which could confuse other parts of the build. The
LIBS setting was actually ignored by cups.mak which hard coded liking
to cups and cupsimage through the genconf -lib option, although it
depended on it for the search patch if cups was in a non-standard
location.
Instead, we parse the output of cups-config to separate the dependent
libraries and additional search paths if any, and pass those through
to genconf in the intended way. This destroys the order of the link
line, but GNU ld, at least, applies all -L paths to all -l libraries,
so that should not distrurb the build. We pass any extra include paths
in a special variable and use it directly when compiling gdevcups.c to
avoid confusing the search path for other components.
Configure also used to ignore cups-config if it found cups/raster.h in
the current search path. We now prefer cups-config.

Abstract the autoconf build's link line flattening for generic use.
DETAILS:
The Ghostscript build system expects a list of bare library names
for specifying library dependencies through the .dev files to
genconf. The configure script had some code to decompose the usual
unix-style "-lX11 -lXt" link flags returned by AC_PATH_XTRA.
As we've added more optional external libraries to the autoconf
build, this has become a general need, so the code is now abstracted
into an autoconf macro for use elsewhere in the configure script.

Fix (pdfwrite) : An integer arithmetic overflow while converting Type 1 CharStrings into Type 2.
DETAILS :
Bug #689106 "Wrong charpath direction in PDF"
Patch from Rolf Becker with minor improvements.
A processing of big integers was implemented in gstype1.c
while rendering a glyph, but it was not implemented
in pdfwrite while converting a Type 1 font into Type 2.
It caused an incorrect glyph outlines embedded into PDF.
This patch factors out the old processing as a new
function gs_type1_check_float and applies it in gdevpsfx.c .
The function prototype is added to gxtype1.h as it needs to be public.
The patch also improves comments in code
because now we understand better what happens in there.
For more details see comments in code.
The change to gstype1.c is algorithmically equivalent
except inserting a new check for overflow in float2fixed.
The new check may fail when the old code
renders an incorrect outline.
We have no practical cases that demonstrate it.

Avoid memory corruption with broken files.
Patch from the Ubuntu libjasper package.
ps2write: When encountering font names which contain unfortunate characters
such as white space, or delimiters, emit the name as an escaped string and
'cvn' instead of a literal name.
DETAILS:
Bug #689420 "Errors with ps2write and special chars in FontName"
Patch from SaGS with some minor improvements.
Fonts whose name contains white space, or delimiter characters (eg /,(,[ etc)
were being written into the type 1 font stream using the name unchanged. This
causes the resulting PostScript to fail on any PostScript interpreter. The
exact error varies depending on the placement of the invalid character and
the following data.
This is now handled by emitting the font name as a string, and using the cvn
operator to convert the string to a name, escaping characters if required.
Note that both the C portion of the code needs to change, in order to write
escaped names, and the PostScript prolog in order to undo any name escapement.
1. (gdevpsf1.c) write_font_name, check to see if the font name contains any
characters which we need to escape. If so, then use the existing routine
's_PSSE_template.process' to convert the name to an escaped character
sequence.
Update the write_font_name routine so that it optionally writes a name
to the output. If the name does not need escaping, then simply prepend a
'/' to make a literal name, otherwise append a 'cvn' to convert the
escaped string to a name. When writing out the font header we just need
the font name as a human readable string. When writing the /FontName
entry in the font dictionary we need a PostScript name, either a literal
or a PostScript escaped string converted to a name. (see below)
2. (gdevpsf1.c) psf_write_type1_font, alter the use of write_font_name in two
places. Firstly to emit the name as part of the font comment, secondly to
put the name as the value for the /FontName key in the fotn dictionary. In
the first case we write it as a simple string, in the second as a name.
3. (opdfread.ps) The TypeDameons procedure extracts the FontName from the Font
dictionary in the body of the job. Since the FontName can now be escaped,
we need to undo the escapement before defining the font. Firstly we define
a new procedure 'UnPDFEscape', secondly we call this when dealing with the
FontName and the BaseFont keys, in order to convert the escaped name back
to a normal name, so that the font can be found with findfont.

pdfwrite: When writing the /CreationDate /ModDate keys in the Info dictionary,
properly write the system local time instead of UTC.
DETAILS:
Bug #688783 "commit 6892 mis-uses the TZ environmental"
A rather lengthy thread, but in essence quite simple. A change to calculate
the system local time as an offset from UTC, and store this information in
the form described in the PDF Reference (Section 3.8.3 "Dates" on p133 of
the 1.6 PDF Reference).
The patch uses code supplied by SaGS.
(gdevpdf.c) pdf_initialize_ids, use the C runtime 'time' and 'gmtime' to
determine the difference between local system time and GMT. Use this to
calculate the difference (positive, negative, or none) from GMT, and the
number of hours and minutes comprising the difference. Use 'localtime' to
find the local system date and time.
Take all of the information from above, and format the result according to
the specification in the PDF Reference:
(D:YYYYMMDDhhmmssZhh'mm')
Where YYYY=4 digit local time year
MM=2 digit local time month
DD=2 digit local time day
hh=2 digit local time hours (24 hour)
mm=2 digit local time minutes
ss=2 digit local time seconds
Z=offset of local time from UTC
Z=no difference
+=local time later than UTC
-=local time earlier than UTC
hh'=hours difference between local time and UTC
mm'=minutes difference between local time and UTC

Added code to the pxlcolor device (gdevpx.c) to set the color space even
if the test for "portrait transformations" fails.
DETAILS:
The pclxl_begin_image() function performs a rather complicated test to
see if the image transformation can be "handled" (line 1434). If this
test fails the routine falls through to using gx_default_begin_image().
However, in this case the pcl-xl color space is never set and if
the previous color space was eGray the pcl-xl stream will fail with
ExtraData (because 3 times as much data as expected will be written).
Presumably the inverse is also true, but I don't have a test case for it.
The solution is to call pclxl_set_color_space() in the use_default
case (a possibly more correct solution would be to call
pclxl_set_color_palette()).

Fix (stroking) : Prevent installing an extra clipper device, step 2.
DETAILS :
Bug 689427 "Superposed clippers".
The last patch doesn't fix the problem when stroking
a path with a shading color.
The new code distinguishes 3 cases :
1. When painting happens through low level device methods
which don't accept a clipping path. It happens inside
stroke_fill, so the new code passes the clipper device to it.
2. When the painting happens through fill_path,
which does handle a clipping path. It happens inside
FILL_STROKE_PATH, so the new code doesn't pass the clipper to it,
but passes the clipping path as it worked before the last patch.
3. When the stroking algorithm is called from 'strokepath',
don't need a clipping at all. This case works as before,
but the new code doesn't construct a clipping device.
Minor change : Added a new argument 'dev' to the macro
FILL_STROKE_PATH to simplify the code understanding and debugging.

pdfwrite: Allow downsampling of images in a /Indexed colour space, provided the
downsampling type is 'subsample'.
DETAILS:
Bug 689265 "PDF created by GS 8.57 is much larger than from competitive creator"
The original job contains several images, including one large one, which are in a
/Indexed colour space. We can't use average or bicubic downsampling with /Indexed
colour space, because the colours in the space may not be linear. It ought to be
possible to use subsampling though.
Where we previously checked the image colour space and decided to disable downsampling
if the colour space was /Indexed, we now additionally check the downsampling type
and permit it if the type is 'Subsample'.
(gdevpdfi.c) pdf_begin_typed_image, check the downsample type as well as the colour
space before deciding not to allow downsampling.
(gdevpdsi.c) psdf_setup_image_filters, check if the colour space is /Indexed before
deciding which set of image parameters to use (2 places). Also, if we do encounter a
/Indexed space, make the compression filter into Flate to ensure we don't try and use any
kind of JPEG compression, which may not work properly with Indexed spaces, and in any case
is not the most appropriate type of compression in this situation.

pdfwrite: when encountering a glyph in a type 3 font for which no Charproc is defined
emit a simple setcachedevice operation instead of an empty stream.
DETAILS:
Bug #688834 "Undefined characters in Type 3 fonts cause PDF conversion to fail"
The original report, based on an older version of pdfwrite, states that an error occurs with
pdfwrite when using glyphs from a type 3 font where there is no charproc defined for the
glyphs.
In fact, with the current version of pdfwrite, no error occurs, but the resulting file
causes Acrobat to give warnings and display the result incorrectly. NB other PDF consumers
do not behave this way.
This appears to be caused by pdfwrite emitting an empty stream (length 0), because no charproc
is captured for the glyph (since it has none). For some reason Acrobat takes exception to this.
A simple solution is to write a stream which is not empty. The sequence '0 0 0 0 0 0 d1'
, a
setcachedevice with arguments all 0, resolves the problem.
(gdevpdtt.c) In pdf_text_process, after capturing a Charproc for a type 3 font, check the length
of the stream. If it is 0 bytes, then emit '0 0 0 0 0 0 d1' and carry on.

pdfwrite: Convert 'text' followed by 'text charpath stroke' to a single text
operation by using text rendering mode 2.
DETAILS:
Bug #689310 "Offset between text and outline in pdfwrite.dev"
Emitting text, followed by the same text as an argument to charpath, and then stroking the
resulting path previously resulted in a large path being emitted and stroked in the PDF file.
This is inefficient, but worse the path is not grid fitted, whereas the text is. When
used to stroke the outline of previously rendered text, either in a different colour or to
create a 'bold' effect, the emitted path did not always precisely match the rendered text.
This change is to emit this PostScript construct using the closest available match in PDF,
which is the text rendering mode. There are two parts to this change, firstly to identify
when a path is the result of a charpath, and secondly to merge text followed by charpath/stroke
operations into a single operation on output.
1. (gzpath.h) Add a new member 'last_charpath_segment' to the gx_path_s structure. Update the
path garbage collection code for relocation of new variable.
2. (gxpath.c) Initialise the new member 'last_charpath_segment' to 0 in
gx_path_init_contents, and also in path_alloc_copy to prevent copies being identified as
the result of a charpath.
3. (gxchar.c) We need to be able to tell if a path was the result of a charpath. To do this
we store the final segment of a path in 'last_charpath_segment' of the path
structure during show_finish, if the current operation was a charpath. See also item 11.
4. (gdevpdfx.h) Add a new member 'last_charpath_op' to the gx_device_pdf_s structure, to
hold the boolean argument associated with a charpath operation. Also add to the
pdf_substream_s structure to allow us to save and restore this value on entry to or
exit from a PDF substream.
5. (gdevpdti.c) Save and restore the value of last_charpath_op in pdf_enter_substream
and pdf_exit_substream.
6. (gdevpdfx.h) Add a new member variable 'last_charpath_op' to the 'pdf_substream_save_s'
structure to allow us to save and restore the last_charpath_op as noted above.
7. (gdevpdtt.c) During gdev_pdf_text_begin, if the operation is a charpath, check the
following conditions, if met then store a copy of the charpath boolean variable in
a new member of the gx_device_pdf_s structure.
1. Operation must be a charpath
2. Current path must be empty (can't handle charpath concatenated to existing path)
3. The font being used for the current text must be the same as the font used for
the previous stored (but not yet emitted) text.
4. The initial point of the text for the charpath must match the initial point of
the previous stored text.
5. The text bytes must be the same as the previous stored text.
6. The point size of the text must match the previous stored text.
Also, move the calculation of the font point size out of pdf_update_text_state so that
we can calculate the size in pdf_compare_text_state_for_charpath' defined in 9 below
without duplicating code.
8. (gdevpdtt.h) Prototype 'pdf_calculate_text_size'
9. (gdevpdts.c) Add a new function 'pdf_compare_text_state_for_charpath' to do the
checking noted above. The pdf_text_state_s structure is not defined publicly, so
we need code to access its members. Also add a function 'pdf_modify_text_render_mode'
which will attempt to add a rendering mode (stroke, fill or clip) to existing text
by updating the existing text rendering mode. Returns 0 if the existing text cannot
be modified, and we fall back to emitting a path and stroke.
10. (gdevpdts.h) Add prototypes for the functions required in 9.
11. (gdevpdfd.c) In pdf_stroke_path, if the 'last_charpath_op' member of the pdf device
structure is set, perform some more checks (below) and if passed, set the text render
mode of the stored text, set the stroke colour, set the line width, and force the stored
text to be emitted. This conveniently results in a gsave/grestore pair round the
graphics state changes.
1. The last charpath operation must have been 'false charpath'
2. There must be a non-empty path (result of the charpath operation)
3. The 'last_charpath_segment' stored in the path must match the actual last segment
in the path. (can't handle path segments added to the result of a charpath)
12. (gdevpdfg.h) Make the pdf_reset_color routine public, as we need to be able to set the
colour from pdf_stroke_path.
13. (gddevpdfg.c) We need to be able to set a stroke colour while in a TEXT context,
previously the routine pdf_reset_color, which emits colours and spaces, immediately
switched to a STREAM context, which caused pending text to be flushed. pdf_reset_color
was only called from two places, pdf_set_drawing_color and pdf_set_pure_color. The
switch to a STREAM context has been moved to these routines, leaving pdf_reset_color to
actually do the work without worrying about the context.
It was found necessary to also reproduce some checks before switching context, to
prevent unnecessary context switches.
Removed unused local variable 'process_color' from pdf_reset_color.
There is scope for additional enhancement with this code. Presently there is no attempt to
deal with 'charpath gsave fill grestore stroke' constructs, nor to handle clipping paths
resulting from charpath. There may be other possibilities.
Have mkromfs use $(GS_INIT) instead of hard-coding gs_init.ps. It was
intended that this be part of r8257.

Fix: (TT font handler) : Use given prebuilt_encoding when Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is chosen
DETAILS:
As current implementation assumes /prebuilt_encoding[] is
compatible with WinAnsiEncoding when Microsoft UCS2 TrueType
cmap subtable is chosen, current implementation assumes
/prebuilt_encoding[] is same with MacRomanEncoding when
Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is chosen.
/prebuilt_encoding[] is completely ignored and the inverse
of MacRomanEncoding is used. Therefore, when Apple Roman
TrueType cmap subtable is chosen but /Encoding is
StandardEncoding or PDFDocEncoding, some characters are
shown by wrong glyphs. This patch uses /prebuild_encoding[]
if it's given, when Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is
chosen.
According to PDF Ref 1.7 p. 431, MacRomanEncoding does not
cover all characters in Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable,
16 characters are missing. To exploit the glyphs as many
as possible via Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable, this
patch introduces "MacRomanEncodingForTrueType" including
missing 16 characters. By this change, 16 glyphnames
can be exploited via Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable.
There might be broken TrueType fonts that use the names
in MacRomanEncoding at incompatible 8bit charcode. The
text drawn by such fonts would be broken, the results are
unexpected.

Fix: Preprocess the glyphnames in prebuilt_encoding by AdobeGlyphList for Microsft UCS2 cmap subtable
DETAILS:
According to PDF Ref 1.7 p. 430, Adobe modern products
always prioritize Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable
regardless with /Encoding, as far as the font is declared
as Nonsymbolic by /Flags. For example, even if /Encoding
is MacRomanEncoding, Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable
is prioritized than Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable.
The encoding of Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap is not a
superset of MacRomanEncoding, see PDF Ref 1.7 Appendix D.
Current implementation expects the content of /Encoding
is always compatible with chosen TrueType cmap subtable,
thus unexpected mismatching causes loss of glyph like:
bug 689351 "Content Loss for certain Embedded Type42 Glyphs with gs8.57"
When Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable is chosen,
the glyphnames used in /prebuilt_encoding[] should be
preprocessed: the glyphnames changed to the charcode
compatible with Microsoft UCS2 encoding scheme, before
combining with charcode-glyph mapping table in Microsoft
UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable. The preprocessing should
be done by AdobeGlyphList that maps known glyphnames
to UCS2 charcode. The unknown glyphnames are left to
second processing in /.pdfmapchars. This preprocess
fixes bug 689351.
There might be broken TrueType fonts that use the names
in AdobeGlyphList at incompatible UCS2 charcode. The text
drawn by such fonts would be broken, the results are

Fix : A crash in garbager after clist playback fails in image.
DETAILS :
This problem was occasionally detected when disk overflow happens with
the test case of the bug 689440.
device_clist_enum_ptrs, device_clist_reloc_ptrs process
gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path when image_enum_id is not zero.
The clist playback code sets it when processing an image.
We guess it was done to avoid redundant clist writing,
and we think it's not a best way to do that.
If an image processing fails with an error,
the old code does not reset image_enum_id.
Later (when the interpreter closes)
the garbager processes gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path .
But in the test case it appears to be a pointer from global memory
to local memory, and its relocation appears wrong.
A crash happens while validating the heap after the relocation.
We're not sure why gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path
needs to be set between image plane data portions,
and why the garbager methods are coded to process it.
We guess all these manipulations are wrong,
and a right way should be to call cmd_check_clip_path
in clist_image_plane_data.
See also comment in cmd_check_clip_path :
"The clip path might have moved in memory".
We guess it assumes that the pointer is not relocated
when image_enum_id is zero and the ppointer is set.
We guess it should be regular assumption
for all cases, and the clist device garbager methods
must never process it.
This patch applies a minimal change to prevent the crash,
and does not close other suspections.
The change simply closes the image enumerator
when writing to it ends with an error.

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 8).
DETAILS :
Bug 689436 "pattern rendering regression with revision 8095".
Do not write tile phase to clist before trying to write the color.
If the latter fails, the phase may become wrong due to
overloading cmd_opv_set_tile_phase with tile phase and device halftone phase.
With the test case the old code, when writing a trapezoid to clist,
first writes halftone phase, then fails to write the pattern color
and falls back to gx_default_fill_trapezoid.
The latter writes strip_copy_rop with it own phases.
But the clist reader expects strip_copy_rop phase to be written
*after* the tile header, so the reader misses the phase sychronizm.
The fix simply delays writing the phase after the color is written.

Update pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 descendant fonts (continued).
DETAILS:
Bug #689212 "irregular baselines - gs pdfwrite changes CFF to Type 3". There are no functional changes, the new code behaves the same as the old. The
temporary buffer allocated in pdf_text_process is used to hold the list of glyph
name indices, and the working buffer of indices for pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded,
rather than allocating new memory. This considerably simplifies the clean-up on
error in scan_cmap_text.
1. gdevpdtt.c In pdf_text_process, ensure that enough memory is available in the
temporary buffer. We need to promote character codes to glyph name indices, so
we need storage for as many glyph name indices as there were input character
codes. In addition, we need a temporary buffer of the same size for
pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded (maximum required) so we need to double this amount.
2. Update process_cmap_text to pass the buffer allocated in pdf_text_process, and
passed as an argument to process_cmap_text, to scan_cmap_text.
3. Alter the definition of scan_cmap_text to take the temporary buffer as an
argument. Modify the code in scan_cmap_text to use the temporary buffer rather
than allocating new space. Remove all the code for allocating and especially freeing
the temporary memory. Some corrections to indenting also performed here.

Update pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 descendant fonts.
DETAILS
Bug #689212 "irregular baselines - gs pdfwrite changes CFF to Type 3"
There was previously no code in pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 descendant
fonts. This caused pdfwrite to 'fall back' to the default implementartion which converts
glyphs to a type 3 bitmap font.
This change is to enable scalable fonts to be embedded in the output. NB it is not
possible, in PDF, to construct a type 0 font with anything other than CIDFonts as
descendants, and we must therefore output one or more type 1 fonts to do the job.
1. (gdevpdtt.c) in scan_cmap_text add a case to handle a type 1 descendant font. The main
work is done in this routine; we create a list of glyph name indices representing
each of the input character codes and later we use pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded
and the TEXT_FROM_GLYPHS operation to mark the font usage, and create an 'encoded'
string for output.
If font->procs.next_char_glyph returns a glyph name index, then we simply add it to
our list, if it returns a character code (a CMap can map a character code in the type
0 font to a character code in a descendant font) then we use the descendant font
'procs.encode_char' to get a glyph.
Once we have a complete list of glyphs, we pass it to
pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded to add the glyphs to the encoding, and return a
string where the character codes match the newly created/modified encoding.
Finally we pass the encoded string and glyph list to process_text_modify_width, using
the descendant font.
A couple of minor points; its possible to change descendant fonts in the middle of a
string, and we need to cope with that, hence the copying of the last glyph in the list
when a font_change occurs. Its possible to return a different pdfont if we run out of
encoding positions in the current one, which can result in multiple type 1 fonts in
the output.
2. We need to use the function adjust_first_last_char, which was defined private in
gdevpdte.c, so this has been made public.
3. A prototype for adjust_first_last_char has been added to gdevpdtt.h
4. The function reserve_char_code_in_pdfont was written to handle single glyphs, it can
now be called with multiple glyphs. The loop for re-using positions in the encoding
with /.notdef codes didn't use the 'last_reserved_char' argument, which meant that it
kept returning the same position. To prevent this it now pays attention to the
'last_reserved_char' argument.
5. Finally, the routine pdf_make_text_glyphs_table_unencoded, which calls
reserve_char_code_in_pdfont also did not previously expect to be called with multiple
glyphs. The loop below do_unkown has been modified to use a local variable, instead of
pdfont->u.simple.last_reserved_char. THis means that, should an error occur, the value
of pdfont->u.simple.last_reserved_char will not be modified.
Make pswrite and epswrite devices generate proper line-interleaved image
stream even when they receive several scan lines at once. This happens when
the source image operator takes large strings as multiple data sources.

Fix (TT fonts) : Suppress loading trailing data after chosen cmap subtable.
DETAILS:
The current cmap selector/loader tries to load a subtable
for Microsoft platform && UCS2 encoding with anything
in trailer, although only MS+UCS2 subtable is used.
Thus, if the cmap table has several additional subtables
after MS+UCS2 subtable (e.g. multiple 16bit cmap subtable
for Shift-JIS/Big5/GB2312/Wansung/Johab, or very long
32bit subtable in format 8/10/12, or simple junk data),
cmap subtable loader tries to load MS+UCS2 subtable and
trailing garbage, and tries to define /cmaptab for
concatenated string of them. So, rangecheck or limitcheck
error can occur due to too-long string. Typical example
is found in bug 688337 which is caused by TrueType font
including cmap subtable in format 12.
If we restrict the scope to MS+UCS2 subtable, it must
not be greater than 0xFFFF bytes. Because cmap subtable
headers in format 0,2,4,6 define these tables length in
16bit. The cmap parser is fixed to check the subtable
header content and read exact length of chosen subtable,
to exclude trailing garbage.
In addition, /getinterval_from_stringarray has a bug
that appears when the end of requested string just fits
to the gap of member strings. The bug is fixed, too.
By this patch, bug 688337 is fixed.

DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 689365
"Clipper device may have a wrong HWResolution",
step 2.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
1. Drop tx, ty,arguments, because they always zero.
2. There are 2 different cases in code:
allocation on stack or in heap.
Now we define them explicitely.
3. Adding the 'target' argument,
and adjust reference counters inside the "in heap" method.
The call to open_device is moved inside the methods.
Note that the old code in some cases calls open_device
after doing some settings (2 occurances in gxfill.c).
The new code does before that.
We belirvr it is algorithmically equivalent,
because we checked open_device against using the
data being set there.
Fix (graphics library) : Expand gx_make_clip_path_device, gx_make_clip_device.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 689365

This change is algorithmically equivalent.
The old code defines a function gx_make_clip_path_device,
and a macro gx_make_clip_device similar as a small wrappers for
gx_make_clip_translate_device. This patch expands
and removes them as FOR a standardization.
The 'list' argument of gx_make_clip_translate_device is replaced with
'pcpath' argument, because the old code always extract the list
from pcpath. The extraction is now done inside gx_make_clip_translate_device.

Fix (font rendering) : alloc_char_bits could fall into infinite loop.
DETAILS :
Bug 689036 "infinite loop in char cache logic".
The character cache algorithm assumes that a pointer to
any allocated cached_char instance appears somewhere in ccache.table .
However from the old experience we know that
this obvious invariant appears frequently broken due
to inaccurate manipulation with cache by clients.
For example, a client sometimes reserves and initializes
a cached_char instance and then fail due to another error
before storing the pointer to ccache.table.
In the old code a cycle in alloc_char_bits
strongly depends on this invariant,
and therefore it is potentially harmful.
In the past we have got a lot of bugs about it.
Now we restrict the cycle with the cache size.
Changed few function prototypes with returning error
if the invariant is broken.
Note that the graphics library interface changes,
so other interpreters must update the calls to
alloc_char_bits.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Properly handle FontMatrix of a Type 3 font.
DETAILS :
Bug 689267 "File converted to PDF displays badly in Acrobat".
Patch from SaGS. His explanation is quoted below.
Part #1: pdfwrite fixes (gdevpdti.c, gdevpdte.c, gdevpdtt.h, gdevpdtt.c :
- Generalize pdfwrite computations for glyph widths and placement,
which currently assume an [s 0 0 s tx ty]-type original (= ignoring
changes made by makefont & similar) FontMatrix, to work with an
arbitrary matrix.
- Fix: the "wy" operand of "d0"/"d1" in Type 3 charproc streams must
be zero. Note: other parts of the code already consider wy == 0,
and don't need to be changed.
- Remove font_orig_scale() and pdf_font3_scale(), which are not used
anymore. Their simple presence is a sign of the assumption that
font matrices are simple scalings.
- Minor: remove a dead variable ("int code = 0; ... return code;").
This variable is never changed, because there's another "int code"
inside the "for", but it is confusing and takes a lot of research
to figure out the behaviour is OK and no usefull error code is
lost (it's the 2nd time I stumble against this...)
Notes:
- All non-Adobe PDF viewers that I tested (Evince/ Fedora 7,
Foxit Reader 2.0/ Windows, Jaws PDF Editor 3.5/ Windows, and
Ghostscript -r8204) have problems with "weird" font matrices.
The bug in ghostscript is addressed below.
- I do have an alternate patch, which "normalises" the
FontMatrix, for better viewers compatibility . But this method
cannot work when fonts are not embedded: cannot "normalize"
something stored in an external file.
part #2: PDF interpreter fixes (pdf_font.ps, pdf_ops.ps) :
- Force the "wy" parameter of "d0", not only of "d1", in Type 3
charproc streams to 0. Comment changed to suggest this is an action
is expected to be done as part of enforcing the metrics stored in
the PDF (which always imply wy == 0), and not some strange
behaviour in Reader.
- A detail in PDF1.7 Ref 5.3.3 "Text Space Details" states that "wy"
(or "wx" in WMode 1) must be forced to 0 in PDF text space too, not
only in PDF glyph space. To implement this with non-[s 0 0 s tx ty]
font matrices, a different method is used: decode "show" strings
and extract glyph widths with "cshow", put these into an array,
then render the text with "x/yshow".
- since "wy/x" = 0 in glyph space, the code does not need to use
"idtransform", a "div" by "FontMatrix.xx" is sufficient;
- use a trick (see comment in code) when "FontMatrix.xx" = 0.
CIDFonts are not changed. Those with a "straight" matrix continue to
work, but there's no improvement if they have a weird "/FontMatrix".
I think this would require a radical change, and the result will be
much slower than it is now.
part #3: supplemental ps2write fixes (in opdfread.ps).
- opdfread.ps assumed the FontMatrix is a simple scaling by 0.001;
generalize the computations to work with an arbitrary matrix.
- Implement a detail of PDF1.7 Ref 5.3.3 "Text Space Details" (nuking
the "wy" in text space) if a non-[s 0 0 s tx ty] "/FontMatrix".
Similar to the change in the main PDF interpreter, but shorter
because opdfread.ps does not handle vertical writing or CID fonts.
Also "wy" in "d0"/"d1" is already 0 (see patch for pdfwrite), so
needs no adjustment.
Fix (TT font handling) : pdfwrite recieved meanless font names.
DETAILS :
Bug 688006 "Font names used with pdfwrite are strange with GS, OK with Adobe Distiller".
This is a continuation for the Revision 5862 change
made on Wed Apr 20 20:05:41 2005 UTC (2 years, 4 months ago) by ray.
Thanks to Edward for a code sample for accounting font style string.
1. (zbfont.c) When a Postscript file is generated with Adobe printer driver for Windows,
the old code (sinse Revision 5862) extracts OrigFintName
for building a meanful FontName.
This patch adds an use of OrigFontStyle as suggested by Edward,
so the FontName is created in the form "Arial,Bold".
2. (zfcid1.c) The old code sometimes dropped the good FontName in zbuildfont11
due to an extra call to get_font_name. Few lines above
the function build_gs_TrueType_font creates the good font name
during an indirect call to sub_font_params, so the call to
get_font_name is not necesary when OrigFontName presents.
However it is still necessary with regular FontType 11
because they have no FontName and sub_font_params
doesn't use CIDFontName.
3. (zfcid0.c) Applying the (2) change to FontType 9 as for symmetry.
We're tested it a few, but we have no untrivial examples
when a FontType 9 is embedded with OrigFontName.
Maybe (just guessing) ones could be obtained with installing
Adobe Type Library and printing with Adobe printer driver.
4. After doing all above, we unexpectedly detected a regression
with comparefiles/korea.ps : all Korean glyphs were replaced with
hollow boxes. Analyzing it we found that the document defines a
composite font with to CIDFontType 2 descendent,
which both appears to be same font. In same time,
the CMap supplies different CIDs for those 2
descendents for a half of code space. While the old code
used meanless unique font names, those 2 descendents
were converted to 2 PDF fonts. When we switched to the meanful name,
which of course is same for both descendents,
pdfwrite tries to merge the descendents.
However doing so it assumed same character mapping
for both descendents.
To fix this problem more changes are done to pdfwrite :
4.1. (gdevpdtf.h) The font descriptor of a type 0 font now stores font_index,
which is the index of its descendent font in the DescendentFonts array
of the source Type 0 font. This happens because in PDF type 0 fonts
always have a single descendent.
4.2. (gdevpdtf.c) Added an initialization for the new field.
4.2. (gdevpdtt.c, gdevpdtt.h) pdf_obtain_parent_type0_font_resource creates
unique type 0 fonts for each descendent in spite of same font name.
4.3 (gdevpdtc.c) pdf_obtain_parent_type0_font_resource needs
font index as a new argument.
4.4. (gdevpdtt.c) pdf_find_type0_font_resource also takes the new parameter.
With Korea.ps we create 2 font subsets where a single font
would be enough. An optimization may be done with a dynamic
check for encoding conflicts rather than creating another font
for each font index of the CMap. Delaying it for better times.

Fix (font rendering) : CIDFontType 9 missed PaintType.
DETAILS :
Bug 687970 "PaintType and StrokeWidth ignored with CIDFonts".
To make a decision about filling or stroking,
the old code uses PaintType of the current font,
However with CIDFont 9 it is a Type 1 subsidiary,
which has no PaintType.
The patch implements the 'or' logic for the PaintType of the root font
and the PaintType of the current font. We believe it should
correctly handle cases when PaintType 2 is set to
a root font or to its descendent. However we have not enough
practical test cases to test all varuiants.
Particularly, we would like to test a Type 0 font with
2 descendents, each of which is CIDFontType 9
and they have didfferent PaintType.
In such case this patch may need a further improvement.
The desision about filling or stroking a character is done in type1exec_bbox
and in nobbox_finish. The patch also passes a pointer to gs_text_enum_t instance
to type1exec_bbox to provide the data for the decision.

Fix (TT font handler) : Place the True Type interpreter and its data into stable memory.
DETAILS :
Bug 688429 "Crash on vmreclaim".
With the old code gx_ttfReader and ttfInterpreter instances
were prematurely released by 'restore' while
gs_font_dir and cached_fm_pair instances contain
references to them. Since TT interpreter is a global singleton,
we're safe to store it in stable memory.

Fix (TT fonts) : Ignore invalid entries in loca table.
DETAILS :
Some problematic TrueType fonts have loca table that
the offset to a data in glyf table is larger than
the size of glyf table. In previous implementation
since trunk revision 5707 (ghostscript-8.57), when
such invalid entry is found, the font loading procedure
is immediately aborted and invalid font error is
returned. To continue the problematic TrueType object,
the invalid entries of loca tables now are ignored and
the font loading procedure is continued. If all entries
are invalid, the invalid font error is returned.
After the sorting of loca table entries by their values,
the invalid entries with too large offsets are collected
in the end of the sorted loca entries (psortary[]).
By this patch, the sorted loca entries are scanned from
from the end to the beginning, and the number of valid
entry is counted (num_valid_loca_elm). By this number,
the invalid loca entries are initialized to have null
glyph (the data size of glyph is set to 0).
By this patch, bug 689347 is fixed.

This set of changes is an example for users or Artifex customers
that want to intercept the color spaces and perform their own
color space conversion for the CIEBased or ICCBased color spaces,
converting all of these spaces to the PostScript color management
link space "CIE XYZ". There were changes needed to implement this
that transcended the original custom color callback scheme, but
the approach taken is intended to minimize changes to the color
space processing.
Artifex customer #330
DETAILS:
Rather than rely on the hack in gx_cie_to_xyz_alloc that sets the
pis->cie_render to ~0, we establish a separate boolean for this,
cie_to_xyz which indicates that we don't need a CRD (gxistate.h,
gsistate.c, gsciemap.c, gscie.c). Note that the gx_cie_to_xyz_alloc
function is also used in the lab_range function in gdevpdfk.c
to construct an L*a*b* ICC conversion space for the pdfwrite
device.
The 'pclient_color_space_data' is now handled in the ENUM and
RELOC procedures for the gs_color_space base structure shared
by all color spaces (gscspace.c). A side effect of this is that
the pclient_color_space_data structure MUST be allocated with
appropriate GC structure calls an with an appropriate GC type
of macro to identify the structure for the GC and establish
the ENUM and RELOC hooks. This was needed to allow a gs_imager_state
structure to be allocated for the CIE color spaces and to have
both structures to be 'known' to the GC logic.
The CIE_LOAD_CACHE_BODY macro and the gx_install_cie_abc function
are now exported in gscie.h rather than local to gscie.c so that
gsncdummy.c and other custom callback clients can use them.
Finally, the gsncdummy.c module now includes example handling
that allow the graphics library to convert colors to XYZ if
the original color space was one of the CIEBased or ICCBased
spaces. Since CIE XYZ to L*a*b* is a direct conversion, this
allows clients to work with device independent color.
The conversion from XYZ to ICC L*a*b* code exists in gdevpdfk.c
in the function xyz_to_lab() which might be useful enough to
export in the future. For the short term clients can 'clone'
this small function if needed into their own color callback
processing.
Note that -dUseCIEColor (or << /UseCIEColor true >> setpagedevice
PostScript sequence) will mean that all Device* colorspaces also
get mapped through the Default* colorspaces to XYZ (DeviceGray,
DeviceRGB and DeviceCMYK).
Throw an diagnostic error if the wts_plane_* halftone files cannot
be opened. Propagate the error and clean up properly to avoid a
segfault.

Update the testing.cfg.example to match the current (after rev 7854) of

testing.cfg file instead of the example file (see comment for rev 7862).
DETAILS:
I don't really like the difficulty of changing the comparegs directory in
the current way gsconf.py processes the testing.cfg. IMHO, it would make
sense to allow for some of the higher level directory variables to be
used, simplifying changing it for testing from a particular gs checkout
that has been modified. Also having some of the other values able to
be relative to 'root' (for the comparefiles, database, etc.) would be
handy.
A task for later along with better documentation.

Fix (pdfwrite) : A wrong encoding of Metadata.

Thanks to mpsuzuki for preliminary analyzis.
1. See the documentation change.
2. gs_pdfwr.ps converts the specified name into a translation table.
We believe that popolar encodings translate into single Unicode
characters, so we don't implement Unicode compositions now.
This may be a subject of further improvements. In this case
the generated integer array should use a complex format
for representing the translation table.
3. The translation table is passed to pdfwrite
as a new device parameter DSCEncodingToUnicode.
4. When it is specified, gdevpdfe.c performs the translation
first into UTF-8, then into XML.

DETAILS:
Although the patch submitted by the reporter did appear to fix the problem,
it was more masking it than fixing it. While the analysis of the problem
being that ss->Items was too small was correct, the real cause was a rounding

but was reproduced up on peeves because of differnces in the way the two

Correct a substitution script error in the change logs.
Fix (transparency in clist) : Write transparent paths and images to clist as high level objcts.
DETAILS :
Bug 689186 "PDF segfaults or exits with no output".
With the test case the old code creates a 2.5Gb clist file,
because it transformes transparent paths and images into rectangles.
The new code writes them as high level objects,
so that the clist file reduces to 477Mb.
1. (gdevp14.c) The old code appears to provide all necessary
methods for writing paths and images to clist as high level objects,
but doesn't call them. To activate them we simply replace default implementations
with forwarding methods in pdf14_clist_*_device.
2. (gdevp14.c) The old code sets the lop_pdf14 flag to
the clist reader's imager state. Particularly
it may be set when calling p14dev->pdf14_procs->put_image.
It causes gx_image_enum_begin to fail,
and the image silently dissappers from the output.
We fixed it with resetting the flag immediately before
calling p14dev->pdf14_procs->put_image.
A better way would be to synchronize log_op
in clist_create_compositor, but we don't like to
write it to all bands as other compoitor commands do.
3. (gdevp14.h, gdevp14.c) New fields inserted into pdf14_device_t
to provide a synchronization of encode_color, decode_color, get_color_mapping_procs,
get_color_comp_index with changing color_info. Debugged with pkmraw -r300 Bug688631.pdf .
Without them the 1bpc color conversions
were called from pdf14_cmap_cmyk_direct with an 8bpc color,
causing an almost white page instead blue axial and radial shadings.
4. (gdevm4.c) The old code defines a wrong color_info for mem_mapped4_device.
It defines 3 components instead the correct value 4 (3 colored and 1 gray).
5. (gdevp14.c) During the clist playback the new code does not change color_info
for the clist writer (p14dev->target->color_info). We marked this change
with the comment :
/* Disabled because *p14dev has no forwarding methods during the clist playback. */
We ise #if 0 because we're not sure why the old code does so.
We suspect it was done by a mistake and has no any effect.
#if 0 will keep it for a while.
More possible optimization :
1. Use pdf14_buf::bbox when back dropping a transparency buffer.
2. Use pdf14_buf::rect to restrict bands which set up the transparency compositor.
Now it is written to all bands.
3. Write text to clist as high level object.

Update the interpreter library version number to match the one in
version.mak. The previous commit just improved the comments.
This is a new stable release of the Ghostscript codebase. The most
significant change is the merge of drivers and other patches from
ESP Ghostscript. This version of Ghostscript work with CUPS and is
intended to be a replacement for the Easy Software fork going forward.
We extend a special thanks to Till Kamppeter and Mike Sweet for making
this happen.
In addition to CUPS support, the ESP merge includes a number of other
notable changes. The contrib directory of the GPL Ghostscript source
tree now includes a much larger complement of drivers. These are not
maintained by Artifex Software, Inc. and are not included in the
commercially licensed version, but are of great assistance maintaining
support for older printers in Linux distribution. The X11 device is now
modularized on Linux and Solaris systems when built with GNU ld, meaning
this device is compiled as a separate shared object which can be
optionally loaded at runtime, allowing the main binary to work on
systems without X client support installed.
This release also includes numerous important bug fixes over the
previous stable version, as well as improvements to performance, memory
footprint, shading and image handling. We recommend upgrading to all
users.
The following bugs were
open at the time of release:
The default device on unix-oriented builds has temporarily switched to
the bbox device, and is not the x11 device as in the
past. The means that running gs from the commandline with no options
will no longer display a file. Specify -sDEVICE=x11alpha instead. The
change is a side effect of the X11 modularization patch, and will
be remedied in a future release.

Fix problem seen with stcolor device where the get_color_mapping_procs
device proc was NULL, causing SEGV. Bug #689371.
DETAILS:
The fix was local to gdevstc.c. The other modules were changed to
add protection in case other devices (such as all of the new devices
in contrib) don't manage to change the get_color_mapping_procs from
the usual default of NULL in the device structure. Rather than
dprintf or error messages that may be supressed with #if DEBUG.
I elected to use eprintf.
Note that the get_color_mapping_procs is usually set up by gdevdflt
gx_device_fill_in_procs, but there are several cases where we don't
know what to do, so we set the gx_error_get_color_mapping_procs.
The detection in gs_fillpage will usually result in a single error
message then we return gs_error_Fatal (-100).
Fix for gv hang, where an application sends (less than 1023 bytes)
PostScript and expects a response. AppleTalk PAP and some other
interactive viewer front ends may run into this. Bug #689237.
DETAILS:
The autosense is still sort of fragile in that we only process
PostScript immediately without waiting for the .peekstring of
1023 bytes to complete if it begins with "%!" or "%%". The
check for "%%" is needed for gv, conventionally "%!" is more
widely used. Note this really only affects applications using
gs as a process getting data from stdin and expecting immediate
action (response or other processing).
Also note that the %! or %% is only looked for as the first
two characters so that the presence of this in garbage before
an actual PDF won't cause confusion.

Apply a long pending patch that only affects an ancient 'alphaimage'
operator (Next display PostScript extension). Bug #592160.
DETAILS:
The bug report didn't include a test file, but reading the spec on
this operator found at:
http://objc.toodarkpark.net/AppKit/Functions/PSOperators.html
it seems that the number of components provided does not account
for the alpha channel. The relevant excerpt is:
Synopsis: pixelswide pixelshigh bits/sample matrix datasrc0 [...datasrcn] multiproc ncolors alphaimage -
Renders an image whose samples include an alpha component. This
operator is similar to the standard colorimage operator. However,
note the following:
* When supplying the data components, alpha is always given
last-either as the last data source (datasrcn) if the data
is given in separate vectors, or as the last element in a
set of interleaved data.
* The ncolors operand doesn't account for alpha -- the
value of ncolors is the number of color components only.
This final note is the justification for the patch.

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 6).
DETAILS :
This is an initial commit for decomposition of linear color triangles
that the target device can't handle while a clist playback.
The new code is not called with practical cases
because currently we have no devices
with an intrivial implementation of fill_linear_color_triangle.
We commit this code for future if someone will want
to implement that function in hardware with a smaller number of bits.
To force an execution of the new code
one can change this switch in gxclrast.c :
if 1 /* Disable to debug gx_fill_triangle_small. */
We debugged the new code with setting this switch to 0.
In this case the decomposition code starts, and calls
fill_linear_color_triangle again with same arguments
(except converting frac31 colors to 'float',
rather it doesn't miss precision with comparefiles).
This test works fine with comparefiles.
If the device method would request a further decomposition,
an earlier debugged code works, so we didn't test it now
(Testing it with available implementations would require an additional effort
for rejecting regular triangles by the target device).
For more details see comments in code.
Note the clist playback now calls gxshade6.c .

1. Use fa->clip for a better Y-range for computing which bands are covered with fill_linear_color_triangle.
2. Provide a right raster op for linear color methods. Currently this change isn't
important because shadings don't use untrivial raster ops.

Banding : Exten\d clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles.
DETAILS :
This fixes the clist expansion problem for shadings.
1. New functions clist_fill_linear_color_trapezoid, clist_fill_linear_color_triangle
provide the writing of shading parts into clist
without a further decomposition into rectangles.
2. gxclrast.c is enhanced with reading the data from 1.
3. gxfill.c needs a special interaction with the clipper device
for passing the clipping path as a high level object.
The new request pattern_manage__handles_clip_path
checks whether the target device can handle a clipping path.
The clist writer can, so the graphics library first sends the
clipping path, and then decomposes the shading into
trapezoids without installing a clipper device.
Doing so because clipper device can't handle trapezoids.
See comments in gxclpath.c, gxfill.c .
4. The clist reader installs a clipper device when processes
trapezoids and linear color triangles.
The new flag clipper_dev_open controls that.
5. A new flag gx_device_clist_writer_s::cropping_by_path
controls an additional cropping of shading components,
which fall outside the shading path's bands.
See comment in gxclpath.c .
6. R_fill_rect_with_const_color is rewritten with linear color functions,
because the old implementation creates a rectangle, which is not clipped with
4,5. It gives an invisible slowdown for unbanded rasters.
There are few things, which need further improvements :
1. A better compression for frac31 values in clist.
Such values usually have many zeros in ending bits.
2. Crop bands with ybot, ytop, fa->ystart, fa->yend in
clist_write_fill_trapezoid.
3. The clist reader must handle cases when linear color functions return 0.
It must perform a decomposition of areas with calling
appropriate parts of gxshade6.c . The current code returns error,
which does not happen in practice.
Replace to includes of the system stdlib.h for malloc() with malloc_.h.

Fix : Restoring high level objects in clist.
DETAILS :
This patch is a part of the clist expansion problem.
With Henry's test foo4.ps it reduces the clist size in 10+ times.
The clist expansion problem appears to be caused by an old unintentional
change, which was done 3 years ago within the psdcmyk project.
The revision 5056 effectively disabled a big part of the clist language:
all high level objects (text, images, paths) were written to clist
as lots of rectangles. Undoing it now because it is incorrect.
Note that this patch doesn't undo other parts of 5056 change.
With enabling high level objects the psdcmyk device becomes broken.
At least it has problems with text when rendering foo4.ps .
We'll open a separate bug about that.
Rather this fix is a progression, it causes some regressions with
band devices due to other unknown problems.
There are single pixel differences with comparefiles,
which are not visible to users, but they are important
for regression testing. Since the clist size
is a highly important problem now, we commit this fix,
and open a new bug about raster differences.

Fix : A wrong path filling.
DETAILS :
Bug 689317 "A wrong rendering of a path".
gx_path_merge_contacting_contours didn't account implicit closepath
with non-zero length. Due to that the filling algorithm could
recieve a path with a missed segment. It caused some areas
are missed while filling.
This fix is important for restoring high level clist objects,
which were disabled with rev 5056 change to gdevprn.c .
This fix inserts a line segments at the place of implicit closepath
before merging contours.

Extend the clist language with fill_trapezoid.
DETAILS :
It saves the clist file size with writing a higher level objects.
The old code expands trapezoids with lots of rectangles.

the affected structure, (2) system header files are protected from double
inclusion. Bug 689276.
Compare the type of the object cached in the font descriptot with the expected
type and ignore the cache when the types mismatch. The same descriptor can
refer to Font and CIDFont resources if they happen to have the same name and
are not embedded. Bug 689301, customer 870.
DETAILS:
tx_pdf 12.0.112.500 created quite strange PDF file. The file refers to
Palatino font and Palatino CIDFont through the same font descriptor.
Both the font and CIDFont versions are not embedded. There's no rule in PDF
against merging equal objects from unrelated contexts.
Old code cached the font or CIDFont file in the font descriptor.
Re-using the font descriptor for a different type of the object caused the
wrong object to be retrieved from the cache. In turn, this causes /undefined
error later on.
The patch compares the type of the cached object with the expected type
and ignores the cache when the types mismatch. In our case this results in
an attempt to find Palatino CIDFont resource. Since this resource is not
available, the CMap name is used as a default CIDFont resource name for
the given CMap. In this case, /Adobe-Japan1 /CIDFont resource is searched.
When this resource is available, the file finishes normally. Otherwise the
file fails with /undefinedresource in findresource.

The band complexity code is to be removed entirely. It is not correct
and (apparently) the person who implemented it did not realize there
was code in the system to accomplish the same task. For now we fill
in the band complexity array with (correct) values from
gdev_prn_colors_used(). We are not removing all of the band
complexity now because there are other banding projects in the works.

Fix optimization for 0 and 0xff (non-dithered) colors in the wtsimdi_copy_mono
routine. Also add a (temporary) change to force color==0 to cmyk=0x000000ff
(only 100% black). This would be done differently if the input color were
tagged RGB where presumably text objects would map. This is a reasonable
temporary approach since copy_mono is used for bitmapped text.
Also remove the "SKIP_OUTPUT" compile time #define and add "output_is_nul"
detection of the OutputFile name being nul: or /dev/null to make it easier
to go back and forth between timing runs (to /dev/null) and runs where we
want to look at the output.

Both the copy_mono optimizations and the mapping of color 0 can be disabled
by removing (or commenting) the #defines above wtsimdi_copy_mono. These are
on by default.

Fix an out of bounds buffer write in the wts_load_halftone logic and fine
tune the wts_resolve_one color conversion cache hashing for 4K (the default).
Bug 689255 for customer 951.
DETAILS:
Besides fixing the out of bounds logic, I added a 'bufsize' parameter to the
gs_wts_from_buf logic so that we can detect OOB conditions. Note that the
1+hdr_size+cell_size in gx_ht_read_component_wts is retained by this patch
even though it looks bogus (we want to commit the fix so we can send to a
customer, and will look at this later).
In refining the cache stats in the wtsimdi device, the 'fill_empty' case
and the 'collision' case were split to make sure that the hash is decent,
but even 1M cache hits (on ACDsee.prn) only save about 1.5 seconds (out
of 9 seconds). The hash algorithm for smaller collision rates won't really
matter much.
Fix : Expanding gxcldev.h macros, part 2.

}
is replaced with the smaller one :
if (code < 0 && SET_BAND_CODE(code))

Add logic for a configurable color lookup cache to the wts* devices.
Currently set to 4K (4096 entries). Testing indicates this is a
reasonable value, adequate for all synthetic/graphics arts pages
and adequate for photos/scanned images.
DETAILS:
The hash function is rather arbitrary, but some experimentation with
more sophisticated hashing doesn't really show much difference since
the color lookup isn't such a high CPU load even on the performance
files which are entirely images. A 4K CLUT achieves 1.4M hits and
even a 64K CLUT size only gets 1.6M hits (out of ~6M pixels) .

Fix (PS interpreter) : "undef" data change was not properly saved.
DETAILS :
Bug 689284 "Abnormal dependence of 'known' on name hash indices".
The "undef" algorithm has an "optimization" branch for packed keys,
which replaces "deleted" elements with "empty" (i.e. unused).
However this data change was not tracked for "restore".
In some rare cases it causes a wrong result for "known", "get", "bind"

when "known" does, but it could enumerate same key several times
with older values.
The bug persists since the repository was created in March 2000.

The purpose is to improve the debugging technology.

When the key is missing, the algorithm scans the
left part of the array 2 times. One time should be enough.
It should be optimized in a separate patch.

problems with very large (>4Gb on 32-bit machines) page buffer sizes
not invoking clist mode. Also the internal 'mask' image allocation
in ImageType3 would silently wrap around, causing SEGV crashes.
Lastly, the tiff*nc devices are fixed so that they never write to
file when the file will exceed 2Gb (max signed int) since the device
uses 'ftell' to calculate offsets in the file. This last case could
be fixed to use 64 bit file I/O or at least to keep an internal
offset so that multipage tiffs could be > 2Gb as long as each page
was less than 2Gb. Other TIFF devices that compress were not changed
since the probability of overflow is less and we don't want to be
overly agressive about throwing a 'rangecheck' on the basis of the
uncompressed size.
Bugs 688808, 688815 and 689080 for customer 190 (and others).
DETAILS:
The buf_device/bitmap sizing functions now return a success code,
setting the size using a pointer passed as a parameter. A bitmap
that overflows max_ulong now throws gs_error_VMerror so that the
caller can take appropriate recovery action (such as gdevprn using
a clist instead of a page buffer).
The ImageType 3 mask probably needs an internal clist method (such
as was done for the pattern accumulator) to avoid this overflow.
As mentioned above, the TIFF devices, particularly the '*nc' type
(not compressed) could benefit from using 64-bit file I/O calls
for those that want to fill up large hard drives quickly.
Fix 689275. The slow rop flag was not set to true for ROP 170 (paint
with destination), this is an unexpected problem because it is the
most basic rop that requires setting the "slow rop" flag. In addition
to fixing the tests in the bug resport The following CETS recorded
differences in automated testing, but only a few have been visually
verified as fixes.

This is a fix for regression bug report 689263.
DETAILS:
Some versions of PhotoShop generate documents that place an extra value on the operand stack and tintTransform replaces it - see bug 549307 for details. Also see the test case of bug 689263. Since GS invokes setcolor as a side-effect of setcolorspace, we must prevent Adobe's hack from pop'ing an extra (significant) item from the operand stack when setcolor is invoked from a setcolorspace context.
The previous patch for bug report 688584, which was committed before I was done with it, was too broad and was undoing Adobe's hack whenever setcolor was invoked (from setcolorspace or otherwise). This change also undoes the previous patch, which was the cause of the error:

Add a work-around for malloc(0) returning a 0 pointer - call malloc(1)
instead. Bug 688532, customer 870.
DETAILS:
This behavior was observer on IBM 4.3 and 5.1. IEEE 1003.1 spec,
which is aligned with ISO C, states:
If the size of the space requested is 0, the behavior is implementation-defined:
the value returned shall be either a null pointer or a unique pointer.
malloc(0) happens when libjasper reads optional tags in the embedded ICC
profile. This doesn't happen too frequently and we can afford to allocate
a few extra bytes.

Fix (shadings) : Optimize path manipulations for shading fill (continued 3).

Also gx_dc_shading_path_add_box is now private.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
Fix (shadings) : Optimize path manipulations for shading fill (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This is the 2nd step for the elimination of gs_shading_fill_path.
It excludes that function from high level devices.
After the last patch, ps2write is only device that calls gs_shading_fill_path
while converting a shading into an image.
This patch replaces that call with a call to gs_shading_do_fill_rectangle.
This patch also fixes the revision 8017 regression
with the change to gdevpdfi.c .
Minor changes :
1. lcvd_fill_rectangle_shifted_from_mdev appears to be same as lcvd_fill_rectangle_shifted.
Removing the 1st one.
2. path_scale appears almost same as gx_path_scale_exp2_shared.
Removing the 1st one.
3. In gdevpdfd.c, when the scale isn't dividing by 4,
the old code chooses a smaller scale by X.
The new code dies by Y for a better view.
It may cause minor differences in raster.
4. We're not sure why lcvd_get_clipping_box_from_target was used sometimes.
It looks incorrect. Replaced with lcvd_get_clipping_box_shifted_from_mdev.
5. gx_cpath_scale_exp2_shared didn't scale list->xmin, list->xmax.
6. gx_cpath_copy is defined and not used.
Saving it from a dead branch, because it may be useful in future.

Fix (shadings) : Optimize path manipulations for shading fill.
DETAILS :
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
While filling a shading, the old code
converts the clipping path into a path, then
converts it to a clipping path for intersecting it
with the filling path and with the shading BBox.
These manipulations are neccessary due to the
interface restrictions for gs_shading_fill_path,
which doesn't pass a clipping path.
It causes (1) a bad performance and (2)
a wrong fill adjustment, because the conversion
of a path to a clipping path and back to path
is not identity due to fill adjustment.
The new code is a 1st step for the elimination of gs_shading_fill_path.
This patch excludes this function for raster devices.
Excluding it for higth level devices will be a next step.
The new code moves path manipulation outside the
shading color painting. Now all 3 pathes
(the filling path, the clipping patrh, and the shading BBox)
are processed in gxfill.c . The painting
is done with gs_shading_do_fill_rectangle,
which does not manipulate with pathes.
The patch modifies gx_image_fill_masked_end
to comply with the new inplementation of
gs_shading_do_fill_rectangle when a mask
is converted into a clipping path.
Another optimization avoids the generation
of a filling path for 'shfill'.
Accorgong to PLRM, shfill deals with clipping path,
but it was converted into a path due to
internal Ghostscript constraint for the device interface.
When the device implements fill_path with
the default method gx_default_fill_path,
the conversion to a path is not necessary.
To make use of this fact for optimization, the graphics library
needs to know, whether the output device uses the default
function gx_default_fill_path. This patch introduces a new response
for pattern_manage, which is named 'pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path'.
The device must respond with 1 if it does not need a path.
The patch provides implementations for raster devices and
for forwarding devices. If some device provides an instandard
fill_path method, the optimization won't work for it
(i.e. it will work as before - will recieve a path for shfill)
unless it provides a proper response to pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path .
A minor change to gdevpdfb.c fixes a paranoid compiler warning
about a possible use of unubnitialized data.
Change built-in compression threshold for memory based clist to
improve performance.
DETAILS:
The (example) compression threshold used with BAND_LIST_STORAGE=memory
is much to small to represent current embedded devices (where we expect
to not have a disk). On one customer's (#951) performance test files,
this change shows an overall 9.2% performance increase, ranging as high
as 20% on one file. For this test suite, even 22M is enough to avoid
compression.
The intent is that the compression threshold be a dynamic value that
uses current "real time" memory available in the printer rather than
some arbitrary fixed value. If the clist writer logic waits for all
potential renderer/reader tasks to stop and free their clist RAM,
then the need to compress becomes even less likely.

This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".

Fix (shadings) : Reuse shadings while a PDF interpretation.
DETAILS :
Bug 689211 "PDF interpreter creates redunDan Cobyt shadings".
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
The test case defines 79 shadings. While interpreting it
the old code calls zbuildshading2 9600+ times.
1. Improved resolveshading with reusing old shadings (pdf_draw.ps).
2. Improved 'sh' with reusing old shading dictionaries (pdf_draw.ps).
3. Renamed gx_currentciecaches with gx_unshare_cie_caches,
because the old name does not comply to the function body.
4. Defined a new function gx_currentciecaches.
5. The macro CIE_CHECK_RENDERING is replaced with a new function
gx_cie_check_rendering_inline. The new code also checks
the consistency of cie_joint_caches with the color space
by checking the id, and requests refilling the cache if necessary.
Note it can cause the PS interpreter callout with EncodeLMN, etc.
6. IMPORTANT: The new field gs_shading_params_t::cie_joint_caches
saves the pointer to gs_state::cie_joint_caches.
It is used in .shfill - see zshade.c .
Debugged with Bug688631.pdf .
7. NOTE: *gs_shading_params_t::cie_joint_caches may be left unreleased
when the shading releases. The garbager will release it.
This happens with PS interpreter only.
8. NOTE: We do not make cie_joint_caches be a property of color space,
rather it would look natural. The reason is that this large structure
is needed to save with shadings only. Saving it for any color space
would spend too big RAM.
9. NOTE: Due to historic reason gs_setcolorspace leaves cie_joint_caches
unchanged. It may cause problems when gx_color_space_needs_cie_caches
is true. Postscript interpreter has a special workaround for it in
gs/lib/gs_cspace.ps . Other interpreters may need an additional support
when they use CIE spaces directly or indirectly.
Likely this feature is not properly documented.
10. NOTE: The change to pdf_draw.ps cases an additional RAM expence for
PDF interpretation. It is caused by saving all built shadings
until the document finishes. It includes the expence for extra copies of
cie_joint_caches. The new procedure .free_page_resources frees
shadings from page Resources after page finishes.
However this patch does not implement that for
other local resources, such as form Resources, etc.
It may need a further improvement.
Change the .ppm output from the wtsimdi device to write a P6 with
a max value of 255 (instead of 1). Some viewers assume a max value
of 255, so the previous output looked all black. A max value of 255
works with all known viewers.

level images and it slows down many jobs. I believe the problem was
misunderstood from the outset but I don't clearly understand the svn
change log, it reads:
Fix for banding of some images not matching non-banding output.
Added check for an invariant that the translation matches in the
two matrixes used in rendering. In this case the non-high level image
path is taken. A better solution would be to a single matrix, as this will
increase the display list size for some files.
It is not clear what "single matrix" means. There is one ctm
associated with the image and one associated with the graphics state,
both must be used by either the high level image code or the default
image machinery. The change checked that graphics (imager) state ctm
translation components matched the translation components that map
image space to device space.

Fix (shadings) : Shorten a radial shading when it is larger than paint area.
DETAILS :
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
The test case includes multiple radial shadings,
which are 100+ times larger than the path bbox.
This patch replaces such shadings with a smaller shading,
which paints the bbox with same color
(a minor color difference is possible due to rounding errors).
See comment in code.

Bump the version number and date after the 8.57 release. We're skipping
to 8.60 for the next release because of some reorganization to the
source tree and the merge of the ESP Ghostscript patch set, both
scheduled for the next release.
This is a stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
In addition to the usual bug fixes, there are specific performance
and quality improvements in the areas of patterns, shading and
image filtering.
Also new in this release is an implementation of the Well Tempered
Screening algorithm in an output device, using Graeme Gill's IMDI
library for efficient color mapping.
The following bugs were
open at the time of release:
There are no known incompatible changes at this point.

Fix problem seen with stcolor device where the get_color_mapping_procs
device proc was NULL, causing SEGV. Bug #689371.
DETAILS:
The fix was local to gdevstc.c. The other modules were changed to
add protection in case other devices (such as all of the new devices
in contrib) don't manage to change the get_color_mapping_procs from
the usual default of NULL in the device structure. Rather than
dprintf or error messages that may be supressed with #if DEBUG.
I elected to use eprintf.
Note that the get_color_mapping_procs is usually set up by gdevdflt
gx_device_fill_in_procs, but there are several cases where we don't
know what to do, so we set the gx_error_get_color_mapping_procs.
The detection in gs_fillpage will usually result in a single error
message then we return gs_error_Fatal (-100).
Fix for gv hang, where an application sends (less than 1023 bytes)
PostScript and expects a response. AppleTalk PAP and some other
interactive viewer front ends may run into this. Bug #689237.
DETAILS:
The autosense is still sort of fragile in that we only process
PostScript immediately without waiting for the .peekstring of
1023 bytes to complete if it begins with "%!" or "%%". The
check for "%%" is needed for gv, conventionally "%!" is more
widely used. Note this really only affects applications using
gs as a process getting data from stdin and expecting immediate
action (response or other processing).
Also note that the %! or %% is only looked for as the first
two characters so that the presence of this in garbage before
an actual PDF won't cause confusion.

Fix (shadings) : The decomposition limit must depend on resolution.
DETAILS :
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
The old code limits the decomposition of a shading with 1 pixel.
It gives a good precision for low resolution devices,
such as display with 72dpi. However for high resolution devices the
decomposition limit may be bigger, because tinny parts are not visible.
Now we make it be dependent on the device resolution.
It speeds up the high resolution rendering with quickly varying colors.
The worker formula is :
decomposition_limit = float2fixed(HWResolution / 72)
With 300 dpi the file "self-intersect2.ps" renders a few worse
near the self-intersection. It may be visible when viewing the
ppmraw output with a monitor. We think it's a reasonable tradeof
for the performance. Actually the monitor performs
a significant zoom when viewing "actual pixels",
because the monitor's resolution is much smaller.
The quality degradation shouldn't be visible with a 300 dpi printer.

Makes ijs/ working with automake 1.10
DETAILS:
This is a pure bug fix, so lets get this into 8.57.
Support for the CUPS Raster output device in the lib/*.ps files
DETAILS:
CUPS-related changes, overtaken from ESP Ghostscript:
Define option "-dNOMEDIAATTRS" to turn off the default (but
unimplementable) media selection policies for setpagedevice. This is
used by CUPS to support the standard Adobe media attributes. Without
this option the behavior of Ghostscript stays as before.
Due to the fact that it is not possible to properly implement the
selection policies from a Ghostscript driver, the default policy was
changed to "7" (impose) to avoid numerous problems with printing
within CUPS...
Bug fix:
Martin Lottermoser, author of the "pcl3" driver writes in
contrib/pcl3/doc/gs-mods.txt, section C1:
There is a bug in ghostscript's default configuration for the
undercolour removal and black generation functions. It shows up when
printing PostScript documents using the RGB colour space ("setrgbcolor" or
"sethsbcolor") on a device where the CMYK space is the native colour space;
this is the case for pcl3 if you specify "-sColourModel=CMYK". The bug
results in black being printed as a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow.
The bug is simply fixed by replacing the line
{ pop 0 } dup setblackgeneration setundercolorremoval
with the following line:
{} dup setblackgeneration setundercolorremoval

Build system extensions for support of CUPS Raster, OpenPrinting
Vector, X11 driver modularizationm, and for easy selection of drivers
DETAILS:
The build system has all necessary checks added for the additional
drivers (especially for CUPS Raster and OpenPrinting Vector) and has
functionality to easily select the drivers to be built in. Especially
one can also build a Ghostscript with none of the extra drivers from
the contrib/ directory by supplying the option "--disable-contrib" to
"./configure".
Other additional options are "--with-drivers" to select drivers and
"--with-fontpath" to easily add the system's font locations (call the
system's Ghostscript with "gs -h" and add the paths shown in the end
of the output),
"./configure" also auto-detects whether the X drivers can be
modularized.
For correct building of the CUPS filters the definition of the version
number was moved from src/version.mak to ./configure (or
src/configure.ac).
The build rules for Omni are removed from src/contrib.mak, as
gdevomni.c is present in the contrib/ directory. So its build rules
belong into contrib/contrib.mak.
Use "./configure --disable-contrib" to make a Ghostscript without
anything from the contrib/ directory, for example for commercially
licensed distribution.
Conditionals to avoid conflicts with the drivers "bjc880j", "lips2p",
"lips4", and "lips4v" in contrib/
DETAILS:
some data structures in src/gdevlbp8.c got extended for the
above-mentioned drivers. To avoid conflicts the original structures
need to be deactivated. This patch adds the needed conditionals for
that.

All third-party built-in and Uniprint drivers listed in the OpenPrinting database
DETAILS:
To avoid the users or the distribution package maintainers to patch
Ghostscript for getting support for a certain printer model this patch
contains all known (by OpenPrinting) built-in and Uniprint printer
drivers. So compiling Ghostscript with all these drivers gives a
complete Ghostscript without need of recompilation for adding support
for a printer.
Also the OpenPrinting Vector ("opvp", "oprp") and CUPS Raster output
("cups") are included, to have all the three current interfaces (the
third is the already included IJS) for modular drivers as required by
the upcoming LSB 3.2.
Notes:
Built-in printer drivers for Ghostscript are obsolete. Do not write
any new built-in drivers for Ghostscript. Use the interfaces IJS, CUPS
Raster, or OpenPrinting Vector for your new printer
drivers. Volunteers for moving these third-party drivers into
OpenPrinting Vector modules are welcome.
Do not compile the contrib/ directory for commercial-licensed
distribution of Ghostscript, the licenses of many of these drivers do
not allow this.
Addition of support for some older japanese-market PCL Printers
DETAILS:
Adds the output devices:
dj505j: HP DeskJet 505J
ljet4pjl, lj4dithp: HP LaserJet 4V/4LJ
picty180: NEC PICTY180 (PC-PR101J/180)
This patch was part of ESP Ghostscript for several years and did not
cause any problems there.
Modularization of the X11 output devices into dynamic libraries
DETAILS:
This patch allows to compile Ghostscript in a way that the X11 screen
display output devices can be seperated into a dynamically linkable
library, so that these devices can be put in a separate binary package
in Linux distributions. This way the distributions can be installed
with GhostScript and without the X libraries, which is important for
headless print servers.
This feature is only available for Unix with GCC (selected by the
Makefile).
Ghostscript will be compiled without built-in X11 support and with an
extra X11.so file containing the X11 support. One can install
Ghostscript with or without X11.so then, it will always work. It
detects the presence of X11.so automatically and makes the X11 output
devises available if X11.so is present (see "gs -h").
Small disadvantage: With modularized X11 support the "x11" device will
not stay the default one. "bbox" will be the default then. Use "gs
-sDEVICE=x11 ..." then.
This patch is used since mid 2001 in ESP Ghostscript and has never
caused any problems or bugs related to the modularization.
Remove unneeded header references to the interpreter. This file is part
of the graphics library. Also clean up the dependencies in the makefile.

Fix (shadings) : Implement a color index cache.
DETAILS :
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
The old code redundantly converts client colors
to device colors. This patch implements a cache for
the conversion in the new module gscicach.h .
It works for contone devices only.
For the test case it reduces the number of color conversions
in 20+ times. However a rocket speeding up is not obtained.
This patch is an experimental one.
We have got an alternative approach,
which is more complicated but works for any device.
The alternative is to pass converted colors through the decomposition recursion.
We commit this now mainly for archiving purpose.
To disable it replace the call to gs_color_index_cache_create with NULL.

Previous version was too aggresive with image interpolation to
1-bit per component (bpc) devices. Now we downsample using the
'special' image filter that prevents dropout on 1bpc devices and
use the "Mitchell" image filter for upscaling to those devices
when the scale factor (in X and Y) is at least 4:1. This prevents
upscaling on 1:1 images as well as near 1:1 where the results
would probably be poor quality.

Fix (shadings) : The color space linearity check didn't account the color precision.
DETAILS :
This partially improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".

the shadings code must not try to obtain a better precision.

Fix (shadings) : Early skip parts that fall outside the clipping box.
DETAILS :
This improves performance for the test case of
the bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
The patch implements a bbox intersection code pattern to
several decomposition functions. It speeds up those shadings,
in which the shading area is significantly larger
than the clipping box.
Rather it speeds up the test case,
it needs a further improvement for shading functions.
A small noize (being lesser than shading smoothness) to be ignored
while a function monotonity check.
Minor changes :
1. In some functions the old bbox intersection code
becomes more uniform.
2. bbox_of_points moved up.

Fix (shadings) : wedge_vertex_list_elem_buffer overflow.
DETAILS :
Bug 689189 "PDF fails with /unregistered in --shfill--".
The estimation for wedge_vertex_list_elem_count_max
assumed a division of 1 side per level.
However triangle_by_4 divides 3 sides at once.
Now we increase the buffer size according to that,
see comment in code for details.
It increases the buffer size from 110K to 220K.
We tried to implement a new function triangle_by_2
to keep the old buffer size,
triangle_by_2 must be the topmost worker for fill_triangle.
This function appears almost same as triangle_by_4,
except it divides the biggest side only.
We discontinued this effort because
we don't like the code duplication,
which only saves 100K of RAM,
and gives lots of minor raster differences.
This patch fixes the failure,
but the performance with the test case appears unsatisfactory.
It sould be a subject of a separate patch.

Implementation of a new non-linear image filter that prevents dropout
when images are scaled down to a 1-bit per component device. Bugs
689147 for customer 531 and image quality problem for customer 780.
This filter is used whenever /Interpolate == true (or -dDOINTERPOLATE
command line option is used) and the image is being scaled down on
a 1-bit per component device.
Interpolation throughput of gray or cmyk images is also improved by
a factor of about 2:1 (depending on the data content) even when
the standard Mitchell filter is used. The performance improvement
when using this new filter is even higher since the filter itself
uses less CPU time.
DETAILS:
This filter uses the darkest of the image pixels that are within a
device pixel, rather than the default behaviour which uses the PS
'center of pixel' rule (i.e., whichever image pixel covers the
center of the device pixel is used to color the device pixel).
The center of pixel rule can result in missing narrow black
lines or single dots in patterns when a source image is scaled down.
One side effect of this filter is that narrow white features or
small white areas in patterns can be lost, effectively darkening
the result. For now the customers needing this are not concerned
with small white-on-black areas becoming solid black. Many real
world printers tend to do this anyway due to 'dot gain'.
If we encounter the need for preserving small white areas, we
can change the filter somewhat to prevent this effect.
Fix regression tools to remove dependency on PYTHONPATH since
the environment variable method isn't very convenient for those
running local regressions and add those python files from

Fix for slow PDF performance reported in bug report #688830.
DETAILS:
The function read_create_compositor was calling top_up_cbuf every time it was
called. For some jobs this caused a large number of relatively large memory
movements in the memmove call of top_up_cbuf. By only calling top_up_buf
when actually necessary, the problem job took approximately 1/2 the time it
did previously.

Fix (TT fonts) : Allow sfnts string breaks inside TT tables.
DETAILS :
The old code is based on an antique Adobe constraint
"the strings must begin at TrueType table boundaries, or
at individual glyph boundaries within the glyf table".
In novadays many of 3d party software do not follow it.
We're dropping this constraint from GS code
because we tired fixing user problems with it.
This change is algorithnically equivalent for fonts,
which follow the constraint.
This change replaces ACCESS macro
(sll 3 definitions through Ghostscript sources)
with a new macro READ_SFNTS, which copies data to a local buffer,
and checks the length of the buffer.
We believe that the performance flaw is not sensible
and it worths the improved stability.
Correspondingly local pointer variables,
which were used with ACCESS macro,
are replaced with local buffers.
Sorry for keeping old names inspite of the popular convention -
we do not want too many changes in a single patch
to simplify its review.
In some places the new data copying could be eliminated because
the old code already copies the data.
We do not optimize it now,
becauase we want to simplify the patch review.
We believe that modern compilers can optimize it.
The new code still have few points,
which are based on the antique constraint.
One example is names in name table.
Will do further improvements someday.
The new code signals an error if
the constraint is used and not satisfied
(the old code doesn't with unpredictable result).
Fix (TT fonts) : Allow 'loca' elements to be broken into parts with 'sfnts' strings.
DETAILS :
Bug 689038 "GS doesn't display T42 font correctly.".
The Type 42 specification reads that 'sfnts' strings must not break TT tables.
Exactly, "the strings must begin at TrueType table boundaries, or
at individual glyph boundaries within the glyf table".
However the test case is another example when a 3d party software
"LilyPond 2.11.10" doesn't follow this constraint.
We prefer to handle such font data,
because we have not enough control for fonts in wild.
The new function gs_type42_read_data is factored out
from the old code of default_get_outline.
Due to that we believe that the change to default_get_outline
is algorithmically equivalent.
This patch does not propagate error codes from
gs_type42_read_data in get_glyph_offset.
This is done intentionally for keeping the patch simpler,
and for keeping the behavior closer to the old one.
It simplifies the regression testing.
Propagating the error codes should be a next step.

Fix (p*mraw devices) : Removing an incorrect debug printing.
DETAILS :
Since revision 7795 the debug build of the old code prints "0 strings:"
to stderr when interpreting any PDF file.
The release code doesn't do that. This printing is not controlled by any option.
Besides that, if a device parameter OutputIntent is specified,
the debug printing code accesses string parts by constant indices
with no checking the string length, so it causes a potential crash.
Removing this code portion now because (1) we believe that
the debug and release build must generate same stderr by default,
and (2) we need a stable code with no dependence on the OutputIntent value.
Since Use.htm doesn't specify an useful -Z option to control this printing,
we believe that the device must implement anothe device parameter to control it.

Implementing the PS operator .sort in C language.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for bug 688971
"huge performace problem (with large TT font?)".
Patch from SaGS.
The old PS implementation of lib\gs_init.ps::.sort uses a
slow O(n^2) algorithm. Plus, array indexing operations are lenghty
in PostScript. It seems to me this was initially written to sort
the very few "%disk*%" names, so speed was irrelevant. Now, it is
used to sort 'loca' tables (in some damaged TTFs).
The patch implements the heap sort algorithm from the programmer's
bible. This algorithm is guaranteed to be O(n log n) in the worst
case. Variable's names are those from Knuth's book. Labels denote the
algorithm's steps.
The implementation retains the maximum generality for the predicate,
i.e. it can be anything that is able to compare 2 objects on the
o-stack and leave a bool in their place. The predicate is not
restricted to what's available to a FunctionType 4 function.

Fix (TT fonts) : A faster seeking through 'sfnts' array.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for bug 688971
"huge performace problem (with large TT font?)".
Patch from SaGS.
src\zfont42.c::string_array_access_proc() is now caches
the string index used last, and starts the next search from there.
This info in stored together with the ref to 'sfnts', and
consists of index of the string (.mru_sfnts_index) and total number
of data bytes that precede this string (.mru_sfnts_pos).
If passing NULL for the 2 new parameters, string_array_access_proc()
beheaves at it did before and starts the search from the beginning.
Otherwise it does one of:
- search forward from the mru string (possibly returning data from
it, without actually skipping anything), if new position >=
current's string starting position;
- search backwards from current string if requested position is in
the 2nd half of the fragment before the current string;
- search forward from the beginning if in 1st half.
The old garbager descriptor for gs_type42_data_s assumed
'ref' fields only. Now it is changed to account new fields,
which are not 'ref'.

Implementing high level patterns, step 9.
DETAILS :
This fixes the bug 688396, step 9
It switches on the clist-based implementation of patterns.
We arbitrary set the 1Mb threshold for large patterns.
The threshold is not perfect - see (3) below.
Rather it fixes the bug, we would like to do further improvements someday :
1. Large uncolored patterns are not implemented. Need a color substitution forwarding device.
2. Get rid of non_gc_memory in the pattern clist.
3. For CET tests the choice of image-based or clist-based representation must be smarter than
MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE threshold. While rendering a small pattern to memory device,
check whether PaintProc applies another apttern. If so, discard the image and
convert to the clist representation with running PaintProc at second time.
Need a special forwarding device for the pattern color detection.
4. When compiled with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE 0,
a wrong rendering of imagemask inside a pattern stream with ppmraw -r600 245-13.ps, 269-01.ps
5. When compiled with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE 0,
a wrong rendering of image inside a pattern stream with pkmraw -r600 035-07.ps
6. When compiled with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE 0,
a minor coordinate difference (+-1 pixel) appeared with pkmraw -r600 244-01.ps
7. When compiled with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE 0,
the rendeting is slow with pkmraw -r600 245-13.ps, 269-01.ps
8. (time optimization) clist_init is called twice when creating a clist-based pattern.
9. (time optimization) While a clist playback for a large pattern cell,
set the bbox for the current clipping path for the clist device,
to allow a faster skipping of elements outside the bbox.
10. (space optimization) Store pattern stream in the pattern cache memory; properly
account the stream size while computing the cache memory usage.
11. (space optimization, 32K per pattern) Purge and free clist buffer
(which includes a tile cache) when a clist-based pattern is not active
between reading and writing. Why the tile cace is a property of a clist object ?
We would like to have a single global tile cache.

Implementing high level patterns, step 8.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 688396, step 8
This change is algorithmically equivalent :
the new behavior is temporarily disabled with
MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE macro.
The revision 7856 appears incorrect in the part
"Disables tile cache for clist-based patterns.".
As a consequence, the revision 7855 appears incorrect in the part
"2. Releases the clist buffer when the clist writer completes with a pattern stream.".
This patch fixes that.
It allocates a half of 32K buffer for clist writer stream,
and another half for tile cache.
When building with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE 0,
the clist-based pattern code pased the testing with
ppmraw -r600 comparefiles
and pkmraw -r600 comparefiles.
Rather this testing detected few problems,
we believe that they're not important for the bug 688396.
This code needs further improvements :
1. Large uncolored patterns are not implemented. Need a color substitution forwarding device.
2. Get rid of non_gc_memory in the pattern clist.
3. For CET tests the choice of image-based or clist-based representation must be smarter than

Fix : gs_copydevice2 crashed on error.
DETAILS :
This problem has been occasionally detected while working on large patterns.
If an error happens in finish_copydevice, the function gs_copydevices
first closes the device copy, then releases its stype.
However a device usually provides a finalization method,
which releases stype automatically. Thus it has been released twice,
causing a crash in gs_free_object.

This change is algorithmically equivalent :
the new behavior is temporarily disabled with

The patch implements patterns with clist.
The choice between the old and the new implementation
is being controlled with MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE macro.
When the pattern tile size is bigger, it writes the pattern
command stream into a clist object, which then
is stored into the pattern cache.
The pattern instantiation is done with the clist playback.
This code needs improvements :
1. It does not perform the tiling. Just renders a single instance of the pattern cell.
2. The memory cleanup is not done when the pattern cache entry purges.
3. Uncolored patterns work as colored.
4. Need to optimize with releaseing the clist buffer when
the pattern clist writer completes.
5. Get rid of non_gc_memory in the pattern clist writer.

The band_complexity_array array of a clist reader device was being statically

Implementing clist i/o virtual functions.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 688396.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
The old code defines macros for substituting
memfile_* procs to clist_* procs when
the makefile option BAND_LIST_STORAGE is set to 'memory'.
Instead that, the new code defines a new structure clist_io_procs_t,
stores the procs into it, and chooses
an implementation by the module initialization mechanizm.
The new function clist_init_io_procs works for that.
We would like to define the procs as virtual methods
of *clist_file_ptr, but it needs to change the logics
of clist_fopen, clist_fclose with allocating an
auxiliary structure. We would like to make this improvement
as a separate patch in order to simplify the

Following Adobe implementation don't restore the operand of --begin--
when it overflows the dictionary stack. Fix CET 20-02-02.
DETAILS:
Implement the approach suggested by L. Peter Deutsch.
- Change the check_dstack macro in dstack.h so it works the same as
check_estack in estack.h -- i.e., if the current dstack block is full,
call ref_stack_extend and then only return an error if
ref_stack_extend fails.
- Change the handling of e_dictstackoverflow in interp.c so it works
the same as e_execstackoverflow -- i.e., it doesn't try to extend the
stack.
- Change the implementation of zbegin in zdict.c to work like
check_dstack. I.e., if the current dstack block is full, call
ref_stack_extend; if ref_stack_extend returns e_dictstackoverflow, pop
the operand from the ostack before returning the error code.
With this approach, the interpreter does not have to know anything about
special handling of dictstackoverflow, and the right thing happens in
the special case of the 'begin' operator.
Fix : MSVC8 warnings.
Also replaced cumbersome type casts and fixed ambiguous naming in gxclread.c .

Committing Raph's wtsimdi device
DETAILS:
-r600 -sDEVICE=wtsimdi does a performance optimized clist reader that either directly halftones
or uses an intermediate rgb buffer to do non-trivial ROPS correctly then post halftones
on a per band basis.
Uses icc color profiles to convert to device color.
Uses wts halftone algorithm.
The device reads in a link icc profile from "link.icc", and WTS
halftone files from wts_plane_[0123]. It generates a ppm file that
can be used to visualize the halftoned file (it is prepared from the
CMYK bits in the procedure write_pkmraw_row in gdevwts.c - if an
actual device is available, that routine should be modified to produce
data for the device).
This device _does_ switch on a per-band basis between continuous
tone pathways (true branch of the "if" statement in
wtsimdi_create_buf_device) and halftone, based on whether there are
rops. That is the major point of the work.
This is not yet production ready, but is useful for performance and integration work.
Known issues:
1. Banding only, low res non-banding will crash,
the device is intended for printer resolution halftoning, at 600dpi
The halftones are designed for 600dpi.
2. Color profiles and halftone screens are not in romfs,
These need to be copied into the same object/binary directory
that the application is in for now.
./pspcl6 and ./wts_* and ./*.icc in the same directory.
Failure to find these files will crash.
3. Halftone phase not set correctly in halftone band.
4. copy_mono doesn't optimize all-0 and all-1 colors as much as it
should - it can avoid processing the screen at that point.
5. halftone mode implemented only for rgb color model, not CMYK.
6. size of band_colors_used[] array is statically determined

DETAILS:
This patch provides a workaround for PDF documents that include an incorrect
Encoding entry for a True Type font dictionary. Using the new command line
option -dIgnoreTTEncoding one can force the PDF interpreter to use an encoding
specified in the 'cmap' table of embedded True Type fonts. When it is
specified, the Encoding dictionary is not tested for PDF comformity.

Reset the dashed line array at initgraphics. Fix CET 09-28-01.
This is a stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
It contains a numerous bug fixes and improvements. Most significantly,
comformance with the Quality Logic CET suite for Postscript has been
improved, and a special 'gs_cet.ps' prefix file can be sent with a
job to produce output closer to that of the reference implementation.
This is our first release since Ghostscript 8.54. The 8.55 version
number was skipped to avoid confusion with a GNU release.
The following bugs were
open at the time of this release:
Fix (stroking) : Apply the right math for computing always_thin,

Fix (TT interpreter) : memory leaks with PCL.
DETAILS :
1. The old code created gx_ttfMemory instance per font,
but only the first one is used. Others are leaks.
The new code create one instance per font directory.
The new field gs_font_dir::ttm works for that.
2. For proper lock count on memory errors, don't call Context_Destroy
if Context_Create was not called.
3. In ttobjs.c don't use exec->current_face for accessing ttfMemory,
because PCL closes fonts when they are not active
in the TT interpreter. The new field Execution_Context::memory
works for that.
Remove stray debug print that was left in previous commit (colorspace
refcount patch).

2007-03-05T21:09:35.951840Z Raph Levien
Non-backwards compatible change: use consistent reference count allocation
discipline for color spaces. Previously, color spaces were allocated on
stack, on the heap, as sub-structures within other color space structures,
and were very commonly copied. Reference counting was used for the "params"
block of some, but not all, color spaces, but there were correctness
problems with that logic.
In addition, a number of "const" qualifiers have been removed, because
the action of bumping the reference count on an object is not consistent
with the C semantics of const.
This change is required to resolve problems with enhancement 688924. It
should also help with memory leaks.
Other clients, such as the PCL interpreter, will require changes to be
compatible. For simple device colorspaces, the change to gs_setcmykcolor()
(gscolor1.c) is representative of the code change required.
Make sure that memory for jpeg_decompress_data gets allocated from the
same memory as the stream structure that owns it. Previously, the
stream structure would be allocated in global, and the jddp in stable
local, which is a violation of GC invariants. Fixes bug 689118, which
was a GC crash in the regression file H00216q.pdf.

Fix (user paths) : Remove the uneven behavior with uappend.
DETAILS :
1. uappend was fixed to ignore the incorrfect placement of ucache
in the CPSI compatibility mode.
However in contradiction to other user path operators,
CPSI has no uneven behavior with uappend,
so changing upath back to the regular behavior.
2. Don't change current point if uappend fails.
Likely it was an inaccuracy in a recent patch.
3. Change other user path assignment for more efficiency.

Fix (fuzzy.c) : Further improvements.
DETAILS :
1. The old code read past EOF.
It happens because the EOF condition doesn't appear when reading
the last byte of a page, which is the last byte of the file.
Actually EOF happens when attempting to read bytes after the last
byte of a page. It caused the old code to think that an extra
page presents at file end, and to perform a dummy comparizon of the extra page
as it would appear with repeating the last raw of the file.
Due to that the old code consumes nearly twice CPU time than neccesary.
Fixed with comparing the file position with the file legth in image_pnm_feof.
2. image_get_rgb_scan_line didn't return an error code when
insufficient data presents in the file.
3. Optimized fuzzy_diff_images with using memcmp for
a faster comparizon of rows. Skip the heavy analyzis of differences
when entire rows are equal.

and would create one (due to the need for PostScript to always have two
graphics states on this graphics state stack/list). When gx_pattern_load
freed the graphics state it created, the (possible) underlying graphics
state would not get freed. Since the PostScript allocator (that supported
garbage collection) would locate and free the unconnected graphics state
this was not seen with PostScript.
The gs_state_free_chain function was created in case there are other clients
that need this function (pdfwrite ?)

happen in the PaintProc procedure but Ghostscript does.

Previous CPSI_PPM files had been run with a (bogus) RenderingIntent
ProcSet in force that (among other things) redefined the 'show' op
as a procedure. This ProcSet appears to be a method to use different
color matching depending on the type of imaging operation (fill, stroke,
show, image, shfill).
The casper.ghostscript.com:/home/ray/PSLL3/CPSI_PPM directory is now
updated with the results obtained when the RenderingIntent ProcSet is
disabled. The interesting thing is that many pages that CPSI previously
could not render now work (some that did render now do not) and that
GS now matches several more files than previously.
The status indicates "OK" where GS matches CPSI (close enough) and
removes the 'cpsi missing' where we now have CPSI results available.
Some pages are changed to "DIFF" status and assigned, indicating that
a fix (or an intelligent review) is needed.

Fix (TT font loader) : Account PDF Encoding with embedded symbolic TT fonts
that include cmap platformID=3 specificID=1 .
DETAILS :
Bug 689083 "PDF embedded TrueType fonts display with wrong characters".
Embedded fonts have symbolic flag and Encoding entry.
In this case PDF 1.6 spec requires to ignore Encoding
and to create a translation table based on cmap 3.0 or 1.0 .
However the test document does not provide these cmap tables,
so it falls into the "dafault" case (PDF spec 1.6 page 403) :
"If a character cannot be mapped in any of the ways described above,
the results are implementation-dependent."
The old code applied AdobeGlyphList for this case.
It appears different than Acrobat 7 does.
This patch accounts the document's Encoding entry.
Thus the Adobe's implementation dependent behavior appears
to be contradicting to general Adobe's requirement for symbolic fonts.
Please note that ignoring the document's encoding
may give a wrong searchability if the document does not provide ToUnicode.
This one does provide, but we believe that's not general.

a string, unfiltered stream, or ASCIIHexDecode'd stream. When the stream is
FlateDecode'd the length of the decoded data is ignored and the raw memory
in the buffer is used. In most cases it's 0. We pad all streams and pass
strings intact.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Allow 2-byte ToUnicode CMap for 1-byte fonts.
DETAILS :
Bug 689073 "conversion to PDF fails with rangecheck error".
First, the supplied test case is definitely incorrect.
because it's ToUnicode cmap defines bfchar codes,
which fall outside any code space range defined in the CMap.
Particularly there are 1-byte bfchar codes,
and codespace defines 2-byte codes only.
Second, The PDF spec 1.6. page 472 reads :
"The CMap file must contain begincodespacerange and endcodespacerange
operators that are consistent with the encoding that the font uses.
In particular, for a simple font, the codespace must be one byte long."
The test case those operators define a 2-byte space for a simple font.
However Adobe handles this document, so we provide a tolerance
for 1-byte fonts. It appears pretty simple : don't substitute
Encoding names for codes over the Encoding length.
Note that codes over the Encoding length appear unuseful
for the test document. In same time they appear consistent
with codespacerange, so there exist a theoretical possibility that
same CMap is used with another 2-byte font.
Therefore we keep 2-byte codes intact.
Note that ToUnicode CMap appears unuseful for both
the original and the converted document,
because they use standard glyph names only.
Possibly Adobe don't issue an error due to that.

Adds an error string and error object to the token scanner state, and an
error object to interpreter contexts, to allow operators to set an arbitrary
object as the "error object" ($error.command) for a PostScript error, and to
allow the token scanner in particular to set special error objects for
syntax errors. Fixes PS3 CET 23-32-4; partially fixes 21-11-6 and 23-32-2.
Turn off the strict aliasing warnings in the autoconf gcc build.
Details:
This is slightly dangerous because it can flag real problems the
optimizer will trip over. However, Ghostscript's method of implementing
inheritance through macro expansion in structure definitions generates
hundreds of (not problematic) warnings because the compiler doesn't
actually trace through to verify that the referenced members are at the
same offset.
We cannot fix this easily without making the code much more convoluted,
so in the interests of noticing and fixing other warnings, we've decided
to turn off this particular check.

Fix (memory management) : Propagate error codes from mark_allocated.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent,
except it returns error code rather than crash
when mark_allocated detects a heap damage.
The old code implemented "assert" with emitting a segfault.
However it's not fully portable,
because some platforms may have no memory protection at all.
The core of the change is in mark_allocated.
Others just an interface changes for passing error codes.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Handle an invalid Type 3 font that misses setcharwidth, setcachedevice[2].
DETAILS :
Bug 688895 "ps2pdf aborts with "Error: /unregistered in --show--"".
The test document embeds an invalid Type 3 font : the character /s32 calls neither
setcachedevice nor setcachedevice2 nor setcharwidth.
PLRM3 page 339 reads :
[beg quote]
BuildGlyph must execute one of the following operators to pass width and
bounding box information to the PostScript interpreter. This must precede
execution of any path construction or painting operators describing the glyph.
setcachedevice establishes a single set of metrics for both writing modes, and
requests that the interpreter save the results in the font cache if possible.
setcachedevice2 (LanguageLevel 2) establishes separate sets of metrics for
writing modes 0 and 1, and requests that the interpreter save the results in the font
cache.
setcharwidth passes just the glyph's width (to be used only once), and
requests that the glyph not be cached. This operator is typically used only if the glyph
description includes operators to set the color explicitly.
[end quote]
Adobe appears to handle such fonts silently in both Postscript and PDF.
This patch provides same behavior.
The difference from the old code appears pretty small :
the old code set the charproc_accum flag while executing pdf_text_set_cache,
and the new one does when entering the substream.
The new code even more natural.
In the PDF output, for incorrect glyphs the Width array element
is set to zero, and d0, d1 operators are not written into the charproc.
Printing a warning about the incorrect charproc appears difficult
due to the necessity to suppress redundant messages.
It needs to add a new field into the gs_font structure.
We do not like to modify the general gs_font structure for such small reason.
Postponing this change until it is requested in prcatice.

Provide the CPSI compatibility for strokepath.
DETAILS :
This is 1st of 2 closely related changes to gxstroke.c .
It changes behavior in the CPSI compatibility mode only.
The main workers are stroke_add_compat, stroke_add_initial_cap_compat.
The strokepath contours are always positive rather some
older CPSI versions generate negative ones in some circumstances.
We believe that positive contours only is the correct behavior,
because it complies with other contours such as arcs or
character outlines. Otherwise non-zero winding rule filling
gives an unexpected result when combining various paths in a
single path.

For Adobe compatibility (PS3 CET 23-32), changes the token scanner so that

changes the error behavior of the 'token' operator (the operand is no longer

Implementing a smart filling rule.
DETAILS :
With CET 16-01.PS CPSI fills some contours with the even-odd rule,
and others with non-zero rule.
We implement a new rule, which counts signed even-odd numbers
for each contour independently, and then summarizes them.
The new rule works for all characters in CPSI mode only.
Probably we don't need it for True Types,
but currently the filling algorithm doesn't recieve
the information about the font type.
Will do later on necessity.
For a faster result we generate more 4 instances of
TEMPLATE_spot_into_trapezoids, which deal with the smart winding only.
Removing Raph's hack about even-odd filing rule for Type 1 (zchar1.c).
The new rule perfectly works instead that together with
the contour sign adjustment, which was inplemented few days ago.
The new array line_list::windings stores winding numbers per contour.
The macro ADVANCE_WINDING computes the smart winding rule.
We wouild like to optimize it (to get a smaller portable code),
suggestions are welcome.
Adds some PLRM-required but formerly missing legality checks for binary
object sequences, mostly for the benefit of PS3 CET 23-32-2.

Type 1 hinter : Implementing a contour sign normalization, part 2.
DETAILS :
This is continuation of the preparation for fixing the bug 688947
"Ghostscript renders font incorrectly (letter 'o' filled in)".
This change is algorithmically equivalent -
the new stuff works idle.
It define necesary data structures and flows
for storing information about subglyphs.
The implementation itself will be a next step.
Type 1 hinter : Implementing a contour sign normalization, part 1.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 688947
"Ghostscript renders font incorrectly (letter 'o' filled in)".
Several fonts in wild appear to violate the Type 1
restriction for inner contours to be of negative sign.
They cause a wrong rendering of some glyphs,
such as 'o' in the test case. Rather we consider
those fonts to be incorrect, we need a workaround for them
because this annoying problem appears too frequently.
At last CET 16-01.PS defines such font.
We assume that True Types always have right contours,
because (1) we didn't meet such cases in practice.
We also assume that resident fonts always have right contours,
bvecause resident fonts usually don't come from wild.
Therefore we need 4 working modes for type 1 hinter :
1. "pass_through" : no hinting, no contour adjustment.
Works for resident fonts of a big size,
and/or when the target is the path bbox accumulator.
2. "disable_hinting" : no hinting, contour ajdustment is on.
Works for non-resident Type 1 fonts of a big size,
3. The hinting is enabled, the contour adjustment is disabled.
Works for not-big non-resident fonts except True Types.
We want to save CPU time expense from the contour adjustment.
4. The hinting is enabled, the contour adjustment is enabled.
Works for not-big embedded Type 1 fonts.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
It define necesary flags and data flows,
which will be used in the implementation.
The implementation itself will be a next step.
Change status of CET 12-13-5 to OK. The test works for me. There's no
differences around 30 and 31 in left column or anywhere else. The checksum
matches too.

Fix (True Type renderer) : Account glyph bbox when setting up the cache device.
DETAILS :
Debugged with CET 34_all.PS page 4.
An embedded True Type font has an incorrect FontBBox :
parts of glyphs appear outside it. Uniting it with
glyph bbox helps. However using glyph bbox only
doesn't work for Dynalab fonts, so this change includes
a voluntary solution which unites FontBBox and glyph bbox.
This patch slightly change the prototypes of
gs_type42_data_s::get_outline and gs_font_cid2_data_s::get_outline,
and their implementations. We believe that this change
must be compatible, except a case of a wrong walue was passed
to 'wmode' argument. The PCL group must check that
it never pass other values than 0 or 1.
In the new code the 'wmode' argument is replaced
with options enum, and other values require a bigger
array for the last argument. See commenmts in code
and the extended implementation in gs_type42_default_get_metrics.
The function zchar42_set_cache has been re4written
to simplify its understanding. Now it accounts
the glyph bbox. We noticed that the old code
with WMode 1 set 'w' equal to horizontal width,
which looks incorrect. The new code sets the vertical width.
Also the old code did an unuseful call to get_metrics
when WMode=1 and the vertical metric presents in the font.
The function gs_type42_default_get_metrics has been removed
due to low use. The new code replaces it with pfont->data.get_metrics.
We didn't find calls to it from the PCL code.
Changes required for gslite release. The new error macros did not
work with MSVC version 8. There are still portability issues with
these macros that preclude regular use in ghostscript but they are
used by a few clients that have "looser" portability requirements.
gp_mslib.c (probably dead code) did not compile.

Fix : Early check a text to font compatibility.
DETAILS :
Running CET 14-03.PS page 2, CPSI trows a rangechek with no painitng charaters.
However Ghostscript performs the check immediately before
rendering a character. If the check fails in a middle of the text,
the preceding charaters are painted.
The new code scans entire text before rendering a character.
We do so in CPSI compatibility mode only,
because we don't want a performance flaw for
dual scanning in the Ghostscript native mode.
1. gs_text_size is renemed into gs_text_count_chars
for a better reflection of its semantics.
2. The check in zyshow is made conditional
depending on CPSI_mode. This is an improvement
for the last patch, which is not related to
the current problem (zcharx.c).
3. Inserted the text scanning into op_show_finish_setup
(zchar.c).
4. After we did all bove, 14-01.PS got cycled in alloc_char_in_chunk.
This effect occasionally depends on 1-3 because
they change the cache memory map.
Fixed with inserting the call to gx_free_cached_char into gxchar.c .
5. gs_text_count_chars was implemented with gs_text_begin,
which appears too heavy for the simple text decomposition.
Particularly it caused a proiblem with stringwidth,
because gs_text_begin establishes an extra save level
for stringwidth. The new code calls gs_text_enum_init
instead gs_text_begin. Due to that gs_text_count_chars
is moved to gxchar.c, which defines default_text_procs privately.

Fix : Don't check type of extra width elements with yshow.
DETAILS :
CET 13-29.PS page 2 defines a longer width array
then the text requires, and CPSI silently ignores extra elements.
So yshow needs to compute exact number of characters
to know how many elements to load and type check.
The new function gs_text_size is factored out from the
recently added code so that zcharx.c can share it.
Minor change : Improving a comment in gspaint.c,
with another issue recently discovered.
It's not related to the yshow problem.

Fix (font renderer) : Expand the Type 3 character box to negative coordinates.
DETAILS :
setcachedevice, setcachedevice defines a box for clipping a character image.
According to Postscript specification, "If any marks fall outside this
bounding box, the result is unpredictable." (See PLRM3 page 659).
Some CET tests defines a Type 3 characters, which have the bbox
[0 0 1000 1000] and then execute "10 10 1000 1000 rectstroke" for
painting the character. Some parts of that rectangle fall slightly
outside the box, but both CPSI and Tek paint them.
When caching a character, the old Ghostscript code expands the character box to
increasing coordinates. It allows to paint charater elements,
which fall slightly outside the box. However the old code doesn't
expand to negative (decreesing) direction, causing an asymmetric behavior.
For example in CET 13-18.PS a Type 3 charater missed its elements
depending on the device initial matrix : with display device
the character doesn't miss elements, but with ppmraw device
(which has initial matrix with mapping Y upside down)
the character missed a horizontal line, which with 600dpi falls to
t5he pixel coordinate Y=-1.
This patch provides the box expansion in all 4 directions.
Rather the problem happens mainly with Type 3 fonts
the patch changes the behavior for all font types.
Note : Some characters may occupy a bigger space in the cache,
so the memory map changes.
Note2 : We're not sure why the old code expands the box
in 2 pixels. Likely 1 pixel is a strong expansion,
and another one compensates an inaccurate rounding.
We don't change it now to minimize raster differences.

Fix (TrueType renderer) : Always access metrics via get_metrics callback.
DETAILS :
This change is important for PCL interpreter.
Some PCL downloadable fonts have no hmtx, vmtx tables
and define glyph metrics externally.
Likely we missed this functionality when attached
the TrueType bytecode interpreter from FreeType.
For both Postscript and PCL the new code is not equivalent
to old one when processing a composite glyph
with grid fitting. For each subglyph, the old code sets phantom points
with the subglyph's metrics. The new code does with the glyph's metrics.
We believe that the old code was not correct because its grid fitting
can wrongly account the placement of a subglyph in the main glyph.
Rether we didn't find a practical case when it happens.
We can't directly access the font's get_metrics callback from ttfmain.c,
therefore we introduce an intermediate callback ttfReader::get_metrics.
It happens because TrueType bytecode interpreter doesn't compile
with Ghostscript headers.

DETAILS :

A scanline gradient could overflow because
the pixel span may be few wider than the spot span
due to pixel rounding.
To prevent the overflow, we base the color proportion

See comments in code.

Fix setpagedevice /Install procedure handling so that a error from the Install
will restore the previous (presumably correct) Install and apply the Policies
for the error handling. Also fix the .execinstall so that the plumbing will
leave a predictable number of elements on the stack in case of an error.
Bug #689020 for customer #661.
DETAILS:
The .execinstall needed fixing since it could leave one extra element on the
operand stack, but sometimes it would not. The oparray_cleanup of the error
handling _would_ restore the op stack to the point where .execinstall was
invoked, but at that point, the procedure operand was part of the old stack
count. This meant that if the Install procedure pushed something on the op
stack before getting the error, it would be there after the 'stopped', but
if it didn't push anything, the stacks would be the same as if the exec was
OK.
By duplicating the procedure prior to the exec in .execinstall, we insure
that there will always be that value on the stack when stopped returns
'true'. Normal execution doesn't change and will pop the extra value created
by the 'dup'.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCE:
None.

Fix (shadings) : A fixed overflow happened while computing a color.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : The device virtual method
fill_linear_color_scanline now gets half color values
as the gradient parameters.
DETAILS :
Debugged with CET 12-14O.PS SpecialTestJ02Test12.
A scanline gradient could overflow because
the pixel span may be few wider than the spot span
due to pixel rounding.
Rather the expansion is always pretty small, it could cause
an int32_t overflow when storing the right limit pixel color
(which actually is never riched, because the filling algorithm
never paints the right boundary). However it caused a wrong
result in some cases.
See comments in code.
Fix (shadings) : Align coordinate data and color data to byte boundary (continued).
DETAILS :
Debugged with CET 12-14O.PS page 2.
The recent patch for the subject appears incomplete.
After debugging with more tests (ShadingType 5),
the parameter align_color_data appears always false and goes away.
Mark some fixes detected in regression run (exact fix rev unknown -- probably
from lpd). Note that 23-12W-2 now has only a single difference.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Don't write min_int as XHeight.
DETAILS :
Bug 689009 "Ghostscript generated pdf/a file has an XHeight of -2147483648".
The old code doesn't check whether XHeight is successfully computed for the font.
However some font subsets simply have no characters for its computation.
In this case the old algorithm writes min_int, which works
for internal needs of the algorithm. We believe that using zero
instead min_int is safe because fonts usually place characters over the base line.
If all chars appear below the base line, the zero value
won't be written due to the logics for default values in
write_FontDescriptor_common.
Thanks to Marcos for the perfect bug localization.

Fix : Skip images outside the clipping path.
DETAILS :
Bug 689000 "Ghostscript generates very large PDF file compared to Distiller".
1. New functions gx_cpath_rect_visible, is_image_visible
check whether the image is entirely clipped out.
2. A new flag gx_image_enum_common_s::skipping stores that fact.
3. If so happens, interpreter checks whether the image
has string datasources only. Such images may be safely skipped
from the interpretation (zimage.c).
Note : This optimization works for ImageType 1 only - see comment
in is_image_visible. Unfortunately We have no time to improve this now.

Read the JBIG2 Global Context from the stream as an array of strings to

This example used FlateDecode on the Global context (which is sort of
dumb because except for the headers, most of the symbol dict is already

Fix (filling) : Very long lines sometimes painted in a wrong direction.
DETAILS :
Debugged with CET 11-14.PS : (next 3E9 dup moveto 1 dup lto fini) .
A fixed overflow happened in gxstroke.c .
To work around it we subdivide long segments into 2 parts
before applying the stroking algorithm.
1. The hew function gx_path_has_long_segments checks for long segments.
2. The function gx_path_copy_reducing now breaks long segments into 2 parts.
3. gxstroke.c is changed to apply (1) and (2).
4. Note that (2) also affects the filling algorithm,
rather it is not related to the test case.
It had problems with long segments also,
at least gx_default_fill_trapezoid must not be called with
very long setgments, because it computes coordinate differences.
Fix (filling) : Very long lines were missed sometimes.
DETAILS :
1. The flattening iterator subdivided very long lines into 2 segments
against a fixed overflow. It appears not sufficient due to an
unrelated code optimization. The new code does in 4 segments (gxpflat.c).
See comments in code.
2. When finding a path's Y-minimum, the old code didn't account that
most parts of a segment may fall outside Y-band (gxfill.c).

DETAILS :
Debugged with CET 09-47K.PS SpecialTestJ02Test05 and
09-47K.PS SpecialTestJ02Test05
The old code didn't align to byte boundary.
PLRM requires to align "each vertex data" to byte boundary.
Howebver PLRM doesn't clearly explains, what does "each vertex data" mean.
We make GS to be compatible to CPSI with CET tests.
From these tests we know that it wants to align color data when there is no flag,
and to align the flag only, when it presents. Actually we also align
whenever a vertex ends, because it looks reasonable.
We didn't find practical tests for all cases allowed by PLRM,
so this logick may need a further improvement.
Fix (shadings) : Restrict shading function data with the shading function Domain.
DETAILS :
1. Restricts the function argument data (CET 09-47M.PS, SpecialTestL04Test04);

The old code throws a rangecheck.
2. Restricts color data with the color space Domain for triangle mesh shadings.

Prevent 'repeat' extension from sneaking into FunctionType 4 of PDF's we
create.
DETAILS:
When the device is 'pdfwrite' we don't allow the 'repeat' control operator
in FunctionType 4 functions. The 'check_psc_function' will return a
rangecheck error if this is attempted. We don't need to worry about other
devices such as ps2write since it doesn't emit DeviceN tint transforms
(the only way we can currently get the 'repeat' operator into a PSC
function). To prevent indexing past the end of op_names in calc_put_ops,
we throw a rangecheck if one ever sneaks in.
Note that in theory, since we the opdfread uses the full PS interpreter
to process FunctionType 4, we *could* handle 'repeat', but the calc_put_ops
will prevent that (for now).
Note that this means that attempting to convert 09-31.ps or 09-34.ps into
PDF will not succeed in generating the FunctionType 4, and will throw a
rangecheck in the tint transform when trying to generate a sampled function
that is too large. All other devices, including ps2write, will show the
correct result since the FunctionType 4 tint transform is interpreted in
Ghostscript (which handles its own 'repeat' extension).

Fix (shadings) : Remove colors from C stack.
DETAILS :
This is the 3nd step of fixing the bug 688955
"64K stack overflows with shadings".
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
1. New functions reserve_colors_inline, reserve_colors work with
the color stack in heap.
2. Currently the color stack pointer is saved at each
recursion level for simplifying the debugging.
We intend t move it later to the shading fill state structure.
Currently it is passed via most function calls as a new argument.
3. In automatic data the colors change type
from a structure to pointer.
4. Since we want to keep colors be constant while
the heavy decompositioin recursion, we made
the local color pointers point to const data.
Therefore a new argument is added to some functions,
which construct colors and therefore need
a non-conmst access. Thise changes are commented with
"providing a non-const access".
5. Minor change : cs_is_linear changes the 1st argument type to 'const'
(gscspace.c, gxcspace.h).
Fix (shadings) : A better average color when filling a triangle.
DETAILS :
Due to a misprint, the old code wrongly computed the average color

so NULLL isn't a good initilizer.

This change is algorithmically equivalent.

2. Initialize and finalize them in gxshade6.c .
Currently they work idle.
3. Provide a single patch_fill_state_t instance for all

Fix (shadings) : Improving radial gradients.
DETAILS :
The old code has a bug when painting an extent for an obtuse cone.
Then filling the wider extent, it also painted the extent near the apex.
It happened due to a trick with representing the view of the constant color cone
with triangles. This problem is visible with 09-47I.PS page 7 Test11.
Another problem relates to the representation of circles with
2d order besiers. The old code did not account the approximation error of
the representation, causing a "stair" between the extent and the cone.
The stair may be visible when painting a big cone with a sloped tangent.
These two problems were introduced with Revision 2524
on Apr 18 08:12:56 2002 UTC by jeong. When the "new" shading
algorithm was implemented 2+ years ago,
they were not noticed and has been ported to the "new" algorithm.
This patch paints the extent as a regular annulus
concatenated with a circle, which "closes" the wider extent.
The circle is taken so that its tangent points fall outside
the view rectangle. The "closing" circle is necessary because the
annulus may be thinner than the view rectangle.

Implement dynamic configuration of previous compile options that are needed
for CPSI compatibility running the PS CET.
DETAILS:
While a 'state' variable to control this is preferred to a global, the
gs_device or gs_imager_state is not propagated through all of the color
functions. For example, the place where USE_ADOBE_CMYK_RGB was used with
#if to select the color, even though there was a 'pis', it was called
with NULL at times. Default will remain the same as the current gs.
The other option controlled with .setCPSImode is the Type 1 fill method.
While eofill is the Adobe spec method needed for CPSI compatibility,
the w.n. 'fill' method is needed for some Type1's created from TT fonts
that don't properly handle inadvertent crossings (and other bad fonts).
The "true .setCPSImode" will be added to the lib/gs_cet.ps to improve
CET CPSI compatibility.
PCL is not affected since it does not have CMYK colors and doesn't handle
Type1 fonts.
Fix (imagemask) : An optimization for imagemask with a shading color, continued 2.

Fix (imagemask) : An optimization for imagemask with a shading color, continued.
DETAILS :
This is a performance fix for 09-47D-3 .
It is a similar optimization as a recent one for imagemask,
rather this one applies to different cases, which are not directly related to
to Postscript operator imagemask. The cases are :
- filling a cached character with a shading color;
- filling a FAPI character with a shading color;
- rendering an imagemask while a clist playback (for future.
currently never happens with shadings).
This patch adds new modules gximask.c and gximask.h,
which factor out the common code for the mentioned cases.
The code is taken from the last patch for imagemask,
with minor restructurization.
The new function gx_image_fill_masked must be called
from the graphics librari instead a direct call
to the device virtual method fill_mask.
It checks for the shading color and inserts the clipping device,
which represents the mask.
Note that the clipping device always decompose a shading color,
so inserting the clipping device before it won't cause a problem.
However it needs some care when rendering to a high level device.
The clip accumulator device had no fill_mask virtual method.
This patch adds the default implementation
for the proper work of gx_image_fill_masked.
Fix : When filling a path with a shading, the filling rule was missed.
DETAILS :
1. Unwing the rev 7114 patch due to a significant slowdown
for filling a path with a shading (gxfill.c).
2. A minor change to gxfill.c : removed a redundant assignment to fo.lop .
3. The old code always used the non-zero winding rule,
because gx_cpath_to_path misses the winding rule
when called from gx_default_fill_path.
See commet in code.
This is the real fix for the problem.
4. pcpath->rule sometimes was not initialized when pcpath->path_valid is true (gxcpath.c)
We don't like that gx_default_fill_path creates a big clipping path,
which then converts into a path, which then is being intersected
with a rectangle and/or parallelogram(the shading BBox) in gs_shading_fill_path.
The biggest time expence in this chain is the sorting a lot of
rectangles when gx_cpath_intersect_path_slow applies the filling
algorithm to compute the intersection. In many cases the
the rectangle is simply the bounding box of the path,
but it still needs the clipping path planarization, because
the "planarized" property isn't stored in the path structure.
We tried to optimize against it, but didn't succeed with no raster differences.
Delaying that optimization for better times.
Due to a short time frame we need to make this patch smaller and simpler.

Fix (TT font reader) : Obtain Unicode codes from Encoding glyph names of a special format.
DETAILS :
Bug 688946 "Problem reading PDF file with Arabic font".
We think we observe an undocumented Adobe feature.
This patch has no strong theoretic foundation.
It is created empirically.
An embedded True Type font has no some glyph names in its 'post' table,
but they present in Encoding Differences.
The glyph names look as uniXXXX where XXXX is 4 hexadecimal digits.
The corresponding character codes can't be translated into
glyph indices neither with AdobeGlyphList, nor with 'post',
nor by the identity or another simple mapping to Unicode.
We conclude that Adobe recognizes such names and
obtains Unicode codes from them, and then translates
them with 'cmap'. We think it is only possible correct method for
the supplied test case. This patch implements it.
1. Passed Encoding as prebuilt_encoding for symbolic fonts (pdf_font.ps).
2. When a symbolic font has an Unicode 'cmap',
account glyph names from its Encoding (the change to .pdfcharkeys in gs_ttf.ps)
while composing CharStrings.
3. Modified .addglyph with conversion of uniXXXX names into Unicode codes.
4. The new mapping is allowed only with cmap 3.1.

Fix (imagemask) : An optimization for imagemask with a shading color.
DETAILS :
This is a partial performance fix for 09-47L.PS .
It fixes the biggest performance flaw,
but a further optimization is still wanted.
The patch converts the image into a clipping path and then
renders entire shading at once through the clipping path.
The old code rendered entire shading color many times for
each rectangle of the mask.
1. The clip list accumulator device is made publicly accessible.
2. Provided a garbager descriptor for clip list accumulator device structure.
3. When an imagemask needs to render with a shading color,
gs_image_begin_typed replaces the target device with
the clip list accumulator device.
4. To provide a correct work of (3),
inserted a hook into gx_dc_pattern2_fill_rectangle,
which forwards the operation back to the device method.
It is done because normally that function calls
copy_mono with imagemak. Instead that, we need to accumulate
rectangles for the clipping path.
5. Introduced a new signal pattern_manage__is_cpath_accum,
which is used to detect the clip path accumulator device
under a forwarding device. Such case happens in (4)
when it renders a cached character with a shading color.
6. gs_image_cleanup performs the main work for rendering
the shading color through the clipping path.
Note that we need to pass the device color to it,
therefore it gets a new gs_state argument.
(Well, one may think that it can be passed
in a new field of gs_image_enum.
Actually that's not safe because an erroneus Postscript program
can change the current graphic state and
release the old one. After that the pointer
will point to the released structure and
cause a heap inconsistency).
A conditionally compiled mechanism to allow cached characters
to be locked out from eviction. A cached character has a reference
count, which if non-zero will prevent the cache slot to be evicted.

Fix : Repair the character cache logics with persistent cache entries.
DETAILS :
Important character caching problems have occasionally detected
while merging with the ghostpcl branch :
1. The ttfReader never released in PCL when a font has a valud XUID.
1.1. The new function gs_clean_fm_pair_attributes,
is called when a font is being released by 'restore',
but its cached characters continue to live in the cache.
This function releases those font-matrix pair attributes,
which may point to the font. When the font has
True Type data, it releases ttfReader and ttfFont.
1.2. The function gs_purge_font_from_char_caches
is now called from gs_font_finalize,
which is called from 'restore' and from the garbager.
It allows gs_clean_fm_pair_attributes to be called
from 'restore'. Note that when it is called from
the garbager, it works idle because the method
'free' is disabled while the garabarer runs
for same allocator.
1.3. The new flag gs_font::is_cached prevents a redundant
work of gs_purge_font_from_char_caches,
when it is called from font_restore and from
gx_font_finalize. Therefore the argument of
gs_purge_font_from_char_caches is now non_const.
1.4. With the new code, cached characters
for fonts with valid XUIDs persist
across a document/job end. They may be reused
when a next document/job renders same font-matrix .
There is no way to purge cache between jobs
besides destructing entire cache and allocating it anew.
1.5. The new function gs_purge_font_from_char_caches_completely
is coded for those clients, which
don't need the feature 1.4.
1.6. Clients (such a PCL interpreter) must immediately call
gs_purge_font_from_char_caches or
gs_purge_font_from_char_caches_completely,
whenever they release a font immediately.
2. Cached characters were dropped from cache on 'restore'
while a font has a valid XUID and can appear again afrer 'restore'.
It happened because the old code called gs_purge_font_from_char_caches
from font_restore due to its cache elements point to
the font's XUID, which is being released.
2.1. Copy the XUID to a stable memory in gx_add_fm_pair.
2.2. Release it in gs_purge_fm_pair.
2.3. Disable the related code portion in font_restore.
2.4. The new function gx_attach_tt_interpreter
is factored out from gx_add_fm_pair.
Now it is also called from gx_lookup_fm_pair
(with an intermediate function gx_provide_fm_pair_attributes)
when a persistent pair is being associated with
a new font having same XUID.

Such behavior was designed many years ago in order to write
a smaller clist output. A year ago the CCITTFaxDecode filter
was improved with a workaround for an incorrect behavior of
Adobe Acrobat, which writes an EOD when it is not required
(see the gs revision 6123).
The workaround looks ahead for EOD and consumes it if it appears.
However doing that improvement, nobody took care about the
clist reader, which didn't write EOD and catenates other data
after CCITTFax data. If the subsequent data occasionally look as EOD,
they are erroneusely consumed by CCITTFaxDecode,
and the clist reader continues with a wrong position.
It caused unpredictable behavoir and stochastic crashes.
This patch forces writing the CCITTFax EOD for clist.
Maybe it's not the best fix, but it is what we can do
within the short time frame.

Fix (stroking) : Zero lengh dashes have been missed, part 2.
DETAILS :
1. Unwinding the revision 7094 change.
2. Fixing an antique bug, which persists since the repository was created.
When computing the orientation of an isolated zero length stroke
(near the code "const segment *end = psub->last;"),
the old code erroneusely takes the direction to
the last point of the previous subpath.
With recent changes it caused a wrong longitude adjustment
for some PCL documents.
Documented the right invariant in new comment.
3. The flag zero_length was wrong when a non-zero
length segment follows a zero length segment.
4. Zero length strokes were missed with dot_length != 0
and a non-trivial dash pattern (gxpdash.c, lib.mak).
It's another case when PCL could miss dots.

Bug 688897 "Unicode fonts in Postscript" for the customer #130.
1. Define a new Ordering = Unicode for handling Unicode character sets.
2. Define a new Registry = Artifex for distinguishing those
character sets from other Postscript vendors,
which do not define such character sets yet.
3. Define a new Identity-UTF16-H CMap for identity mapping
from Unicode UTF16 to CIDs with the Unicode character set.
4. As a part of CIF font emulation with True Types,
add the Unicode.Unicode entry to the .CMapChooser table,
which actually is an identity translation (gs_ciddc.ps).
6. Extend the gs/lib/cidfmap syntax with handling
Registry = Artifex (gs_fntem.ps).
7. Force embedding Artifex CMap into PDF (gsfcmap.c).
8. Account the knowledge that an Artifex Unicode CMap
may be used for generating a ToUnicode CMap (zfcmap.c).

Add boolean USE_ttfReader to gs_type42_font_init()
In general this is always set true. If this is set false the caller
will disable the attachment of ttfReader for dynalab ttf font hinting
and the caller is expected to do all the gs_type42 font initialization
that was required prior to the addition of ttfReader to the code.
Add an early out from gs_type42_font_init() that bypasses some table
generation that isn't needed when USE_ttfReader is false. Pulling the
return statement here will reenable this code and is harmless except for
some small memory leaks.
Currently only the PXL downloaded ttf fonts use the false case init,
to render fonts with UFST not with FAPI ufst.
NO expected pdf or ps or pcl differences since the code path is identical.
Add an error callback to the example jasper applications. Previously they
always failed (or succeeded) silently.
DETAILS:
The fprintf() calls were replaced with jas_eprintf() in this code along
with everywhere else, but no actual callback was installed, so the
applications weren't able to give any feedback at all. So we now provide
a simple callback that just passes the message on to stderr as is appropriate
for a library client.
Duplicate JPX image channels if the cmap box has multiple references to
satisfy the expectations of later parsing. Bug 688869.
DETAILS:
A paletted jpx image must contain a 'cmap' box that describes how to
build the output image channel by channel out of some combination of
decoded image components, which can be used either directly, or mapped
through a component of the included palette.
Previously, jasper created a new image component whenever a palette
mapping was satisfied, but did nothing when the cmap specified a decoded
component was meant to be used directly. This created two problems: first
the cmap value was ignored, so if the direct mapping output channels were
in a different order from the decoded components, the would not be marked
correctly. Second, if multiple channels were mapped from the single decoded
component, this was not recorded and the image passed up from the decoder
would be "missing" a channel because component lookups don't go through
the decoded cmap table.
As I read the specification, we should really be creating a completely new
image by applying the cmap data to the decoded image. However, for PDF we
need access to the raw indexed image component before palette application,
and just duplicating directly references components within the same image
is a less invasive change.
Have the configure script check for fopen64 before using it.
Bug 688394.
DETAILS:
We use this as a shorthand to check for the marked *64() stdio
calls, and based on that define HAVE_FILE64, which is used in
the unix platform code to select whether to call the marked
or normal FILE code when _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is not defined.
This is required on MacOS X which does not provide fopen64()
and friends (or O_LARGEFILE) but nevertheless implements
reasonable large file support with the normal routines on
32-bit architectures without defining _LARGEFILE*_SOURCE.
The result should be the same with the autoconf build on
architectures where the previous code worked, including
linux and cygwin. When building manually without passing
-DHAVE_FILE64, or on platforms that don't provide the
marked 64-bit versions, we will now fall back to the
vanilla functions, and so the bug may re-occur there. This
is better than failing to link on such platforms, which
was the previous behavior.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Wrinting a PDF/A, convert True Type fonts into CIDFontType2 (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This completes the fix the bug 688790
"pdfwrite : The PDF/A conversion needs to re-encode texts".
Adobe PDF/A preflight tool appears to check whether all glyphs
in the font have corresponding entries in W, W2 or Width array.
This includes unused glyphs and .notdef .
This patch implements creating a W array element for
.notdef when a Type 42 font is being converted into CIDFontType2.
Besides that, before this patch, when converting a Type 42 into
CIDFontType2, the W array was not written at all,
because pdf_write_embedded_font did not know about the conversion.
Adding a new argument to it for passing that information.
Fix Valgrind warnings: (1) don't use sscanf on a non 0-terminated PS strings.
Temporaty replace the last character of the string with '\0' before scanning.

assignment. Bug 688890.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Wrinting a PDF/A, convert True Type fonts into CIDFontType2.
DETAILS :
THis is a partial fix the bug 688790

PDF/A doesn't allow True Type fonts with Encoding Differences.

pdf_convert_truetype_font_descriptor and
pdf_convert_truetype_font.

Fix (type1 hinter) : Delayedly adjust matrix precision with sbw data.
DETAILS :
Bug 688875 "type1 hinter: Valgrind reports uninitialized data".
The old code initializes matrices after importing data from sbw instruction.
If an sbw argument is big, t1_hinter__adjust_matrix_precision
adjusts the ctmf matrix coeffitients, which appear uninitialized
at that time.
In most cases the bug has no consequences besides bothering Valgrind.
Only a harmful case was a big glyph width after small coordinates of all outline poles.
We don't know whether it practically appears.
The new code delays the accounting sbw arguments for the
time when all poles are imported. At that time ctmf
is definitely initialized, and the trailing moveto
already accounted the glyph width. So it only needs to account
the glyph origin for the case when its coordinate is
a big negative number (a pretty rare case though).

signals an error, that error will be reported rather than invalidfont.

Fix : pfont->uid.xvalues uses a wrong allocator
DETAILS :
Bug 688883 "pfont->uid.xvalues uses a wrong allocator".
In the old code build_gs_simple_font allocates uid in the current memory,
but few moments later build_gs_sub_font changes the current space to the space
of the font dictionary, and allocates the font structure in it.
The new code allocates the font's uid in same space as the font dictionary.

Fix (stroking) : Zero lengh dashes have been missed, part 1.
DETAILS :
Bug 688838 "stroking: A zero length dash missed".
Bug 687720 "Zero length lines must not stroke" (recently reopened).
This patch defines a new path element type dash_segment,
and uses it for internal needs of the stroking algorithm.
The old code skipped zero length dashes with a non-round cap.
It appears incompatible to Adobe CPSI.
The new code renders zero length dashes with any cap type,
if the path is not degenerate.
The new type of path segment works for storing the path tangent
at the dash start point. The tangent can't represent with a small line segment
(as it tried in old hacks) due to insufficient precision of 'fixed'.
In subpath_expand_dashes the branch "within epsilon of the end
of the dash element" have been changed for a better Adobe compatibility
with looking ahead for a zero length dash pattern.
When a zero length dash fall to a path corner,
the old code choosen the direction of the next segment (after the corner).
The new code (as Adobe compatibile) chooses the direction of the last segment
(before the corner).
In the old code of gx_stroke_path_only_aux we don't understand the branch
"if (pgs_lp->dot_length != 0) break;"
It look contradicting to the comment above it.
Leaving it as it is, but the condition has been changed to
(pgs_lp->dot_length != 0 && pseg->type != s_dash)
to comply with the new logic. Likely dot_length is now a rudiment.
The old code arbitrary applied a horizontal stroke adjustment for
zero length dashes. The new code uses the direction of the path tangent.
Due to that some dashes got ununiform shapes, and we improved
the stroke adjustment against undiserable regression with PixelisAd.pdf.
The new code adjusts horizontal and vertical strokes,
each stroke by both directions X and Y, if the dash length
is greater than 1 pixel, and the dash is isolated.
Otherwise the transversal adjustment applies only.
The old code did not render zero length subpathes
when .setdotlength was called with a non-zero argument.
It happens since Revision 4173.
The new code restores the correct behavior, which is important
for the PCL interpreter.
An unfixed problem :
When a dash pattern is very short,
the last dash of a segment appears ununiform due
to accumulating a significant rounding error.
This problem to be fixed separately in order to
simplify the regression analyzis.
Note that this patch doesn't provide an HP LazerJet compatibility,
which orients zero length dashes at path corner differently than Adobe.
Also HP LazerJet doesn't paint zero length pathes with round caps as PLRM3 specifies.
Fix (ps2write) : Didn't write the OPDFRead procset.
DETAILS :
This patch includes 3 things :
1. In gdevpdfd.c : A temporary fix for Bug 688856
"Problems with ps2write (see comment #5)".
We keep the bug open because it still requires our
attention about the order of initialization events.
2. In gdevpdtt.c : Allow writing True Types with glyph indices over 255.
The old code is compatible to a bug in Adobe reader 3,
which is irrelevant to ps2write. The new code
keeps the old logic with pdfwrite and skips the check
with ps2write.
3. In opdfread.ps : .max was undefined.

Fix for 'invalid restore' in CET test file 16-04.ps.

There are were complications. 1) The procedure .completfont was not properly

loading the errorname from .completefont and calling signalerror again with
the appropriate procedure name.

Fix : MSVC8 compiler warnings.
DETAILS :
gs_lib_ctx_get_non_gc_memory_t is called in sfopen and the result is passed to
file_open_stream, which assumes non-const.
A better fix would be to assume gs_memory_te to be const for allocators
and for functions and for structures which pass it transparently to allocators.
Actually allocators modify only a subclass data,
so that 'const' may be safely broken inside the allocator method
when casting to the subclass.
The garbager modifies exactly gs_memory_t pointers,
but it is NOT called from allocators.
The "better" fix requires changes to lots of modules,
so we choose the easiest fix for now.
Minor changes :
1. Unuseful variable in fapiufst.c unintentiopnally contributed with the last patch.
2. "const char *" to "const byte *" warning in strmio.c .
Modifications to switch to "strmio" stream I/O so that we can read from
either OS file system or IODevice files (such as %rom% file system).
Also remove unneeded i_ctx_p from fapi_*_instantiate functions (so that
we don't need the PS interpreter). The strmio functions are now included
in the graphics lib build (always).
Change fapiufst to use strmio instead of FILE * file IO. A separate change
is needed in UFST code to do this (fc_dafil.*)
Add UFST_ROMFS_ARGS to add the fco's to the %rom% file list. Note that the
UFST_ROMFS_ARGS are not defined in any top level makefile in the gs tree
but are used by the language_switch build where they have been tested.
Remove some 'hard coded' paths in the fapiufst module (F:/...)
Refactor several FILE stream related routines to sfxstdio.c so that zfile
will not be needed in order to use strmio functions coming soon. We want
to be able to use strmio without the PS interpreter.

Fix (resource machinery) : 'resourceforall' truncated names of file-based resources.
DETAILS :
Bug 688737 "'resourceforall' truncates names of file-based resources".
Thanks to SaGS for the good analyzis done in the bug report.
When enumerating file-based resources, the library
enumerates resource file paths and then needs to
decompose a file path into a directory name and the resource name.
The resource name, which matches the specified template,
is always a suffix of the path. Thus to know the resource name,
one needs to compute the length of the suffix.
However the latter is not trivial
due to mixing 2 syntacies : the Postscript template string syntax,
and the file path syntax of the underlying operating system.
To know the suffix length, the old code computed
the difference of the directory path template length,
and the template argument length.
Hoewver the directory path length in not equal to
the directory path template length if the patch
includes symbols, which need an escapement when converting
a string to a template string.
The new code passes lengthes of source directory paths though the
.generate_dir_list_templates procedure, so that they don't need to
restore from the generated templates.
The patch enhances the function with inserting source length between the
generated template list elements. The new function
gets an additional boolean operand, which tells whether to insert
lenthes or not. The enhanced function is renemaed into
.generate_dir_list_templates_with_length .
The old name .generate_dir_list_templates is defined for
the backward compatibility as a specialization of the new function.
The new function works for ResourceForAll .

Fix (font renderer) : Clean up the character cache after a character rendering fails.
DETAILS :
When a character rendering fails, the old code leaves
character data allocated in the cache but the character
is not added to the hash table. It breaks a global invariant
(1 to 1 correspondence of hash table entries and cached characters),
which is assumed by other cache accessors. As a result it
causes an infinite loop when the function alloc_char_in_chunk
is later called for another character and needs to release cache
space from the "incomplete" character.
Thanks to Peter L. Deutsch for analyzis.
The infinite loop occurance looks pretty stochastic because
it depends on many factors, such as cache size and sizes rendered of glyphs.
The new code performs a cache cleanup
when leaving a character rendering with error code.
See comments in code for more details.
This fix changes the prototype of gs_type42_append,
which is called from the PCL interpreter.
It should fix the problem with True Type fonts
in the PCL interpreter.
For type 1 fonts the cleanup code is a part of the PS interpreter
rather than a part of the graphics library.
It is not harmful because PCL interpreter doesn't render Type 1 fonts.
A better fix needs to modify the prototype of
type1_exec_init and store the gs_show_enum pointer into the gs_type1_state instance,
to provide the cleanup in type1_continue_dispatch.
It would look ugly, so we don't do it now without a strong necessity.

Fix : gs_fillpage passed a low level color to high level devices.
DETAILS :
This was occasionally detected while working on the bug 688641.
gs_fillpage inaccurately checked whether the device can handle high level colors,
and sometimes passed low level color instead high level color.
It happens so because gx_hld_is_hl_color_available works only after a color is set.
We don't expect a behavior change for pdfwrite, ps2write from this patch,

object' to be the pseudo-operator rather than the current interpreter
object, to mimic the behavior of primitive operators, for greater Adobe
compatibility. This can be overridden locally for callouts such as from
filenameforall or resourceforall, using the new .errorexec operator.
Adds braces around the body of the new return_with_error_tx_op macro, to
avoid an ambiguous 'else'.

Set the correct error object when special operators (x_add, etc.) fail.
DETAILS:
If control reaches the special operators (x_add, etc.) as a result of
interpreting an executable name, iref points to the name, not the
operator, so the name rather than the operator becomes the error object,
which is wrong. We detect and handle this case explicitly when an error
occurs, so as not to slow down the non-error case.

Fix for 'invalid restore' in CET 09-47n.ps.
DETAILS:
The test file has a very bad call to the setpattern operator.
For this pattern, setpattern is expecting both the pattern dict and
a set of four color values. None of the color values are present.
THe pattern color space processing logic was roling the stack to
verify that the color values are either integers or reals. This
correctly produces an error. However the stack was left disordered.
This resulted in the invalid restore since the pattern dict (local
memory) was still of the stack when the restore was executed.
Note: The first attempt at a fix involved trying to use the procedure
check_num_stack (which is used by all of the other color spaces).
Instead of rolling the stack, a mark was placed and the color values
were copied to the top for check_num_stack. If an error was detected
then a cleartomark was done. This fails with the given test file since
there are marks in the stack where the color values should be. Thus
the cleartomark did not clear to the proper mark.
The final solution involves sinply checking the type of the color values
inline instead of rolling the stack and using check_num_stack.

Closes bug 688794.
DETAILS:
An in the Ghostscript ps interpreter is a C long, and so on 64 bit Linux, for example, it will be 64 bits, which in these instances require more than 8 characters for representation in hex. We use 32 characters (128 bits of hex) to be on the safe side.
The PLRM says the size of an int is implementation dependent. It can also be argued that it assumes this is 32 bits. In fact, one of the Genoa tests fails with longer ints. We choose to follow the clearest statement here, that the size is up to us.

DETAILS :
Bug 688766 "Wrong graphics after ps2ps2 conversion."
Bug 688772 "Bad PDF generated with -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2"
Patch from SaGS.
1. pdf_begin_typed_image() did not synchronize the clipping path in some cases (gdevpdfi.c).
2. Delayed the synchronization for after checking the matrix singularity
against writing an unuseful clipping before a skipped image.
2. write_image_with_clip improiperly placed the 2nd and further subimages
due to dropping the image's 'cm' with the subimage's 'Q'.
3. gx_image_enum_begin computed a wrong clipping box.
In the new code pdf_setup_masked_image_converter installs
a better get_clipping_box method, which is implemented
with the new function lcvd_get_clipping_box_shifted_from_mdev.
4. pdf_image3_make_mcde passed the clipping path to a memory device,
which uses a different coordinate system. The new code does not
pass the clipping path (gdevpdfi.c) and uses the device clipping box instead.

Remove the requirement for HAVE_LONG_LONG to be defined before generating

both signed and unsigned 64 bit types. Almost all platforms with a 64 bit
int provide long long, so this defaulting to on is a better approach.
We make an exception for MSVC which we support and which does not provide
'long long'. The requirement for a 64 bit type is taken care of by a matching
platform-specific #ifdef section in stdint_.h.
To add support for other such platforms, add another platform option to this
#ifdef and a corresponding section to stdint_.h.

mechanism for the latter is documented in Drivers.htm). This patch

Fix for 688788 /rangecheck in resolveR.
DETAILS:
The file is damaged and has to have it xref table rebuilt.
Ralph Giles correctly guessed the cause of the problem
with his comment:
"The file is corrupted by the addition of a leading
newline; after removing the initial '0x0d 0x0a'
character sequence the file renders fine. This offset
is apparently confusing the xref table repair."
We have a value called PDFoffset which indicates the amount
of white space at the beginning of a file. This value is
added to all xref table entry file locations when they are
referenced. The xref rebuild logic was creating xref
locations which give the file position without considering
the value of PDFoffset. The fix consists of simply subtracting
the values of PDFoffset from the xref object locations when
the xref tables are rebuilt.

2006-07-19T22:38:15.499527Z Dan Coby
Fix for 688787 /undefined in /BXlevel.
DETAILS:
The given test file has definite problems. Most of the
xref entries are off by one byte. Several of the xref
entries are off by thousands of bytes. However the worst
problem is the value given for startxref. This value
is off by tens of thousands of bytes.
The xref rebuild logic needs to find the final trailer
dictionary. It uses the startxref value to find this
dictionary. Since the file is damaged the rebuild logic
does not simply assume that the trailer dictionary is at
the given location. Instead this logic compares ithe value
to the size of the file. If less than one half of the size
of the file then we search at the beginning of the file.
This generally works for 'linearized' PDF files. Othewise
the rebuild logic search for the last trailer dict in the
file. This works for most non linearized files.
This file indicates that the trailer dict should be at
the start of the file. However the trailer dict is at
the end of the file. The fix consists of searching at
the end of the file when a trailer dict is not found at
the start of a file.

Second, when the inferred text rotation and the dsc orientation can't match

rotation. [skipped]
[Skipped] reverse the precedence so that if
both dsc orientation is set and text rotation is inferred, use the dsc value.

Fix (True Type font loader) : A wrong encoding created when no 'post' presents.
DETAILS :
Bug 688789 "incorrect encoding displayed using ArialUnicodeMS".
The old code in .charkeys computes (with dropping minor details) :
CharStrings = glyphencoding^-1
Encoding = cmap*glyphencoding
It is correct when 'post' presents due to glyphencoding = post,
and post maps glyph indices to glyph names.
In the test case (with no 'post') .charkeys must compute (with dropping same details) :
CharStrings = glyphencoding^-1 * cmap
Encoding = glyphencoding
because glyphencoding is stubbed with an encoding.
I'm not sure why the old code worked so long with no problem.
Likely every font manufacturers loved to define 'post'.
Now we got one which doesn't.
BTW, I guess an useful optimization would be to replace 'numloca'
with a better estimation. In the test case it appears too big,
so we process a huge trash and then drop it.
The better estimation, the smaller time consumption.
Another useful optimization is marked with
"% a stub for a while. Must skip the entry."
in the new code. Dalaying it for better times.
Inserted a debug printing for CharStrings.
Using it one can se how big trash it processes.
The old code truncates Encoding if it is longer than 'loca'.
It appears wrong with the new CharString composition logics
- creates a tool short Encoding for fonmts in bug_687457.pdf .
The truncation has been removed from .charkeys .
It should work fine because recently we improved
C code about acessing glyphs outside 'loca' -

Several %rom% related improvements. Add PSRESDIR macro to define the location

level makefiles (list now only in src/int.mak). Correct the font path to the
Adobe standard Resource/Font. Change the GS_LIB_DEFAULT to include Resource/Font
rather than the useless Resource path.
Change the %rom% device to return a custom 'block' stream that decompresses
by blocks into the buffer so that the entire file is never decompressed into
a 'string' for a sread_string type stream. The 'file_prepare_stream' is now
exported for use by gsiorom.c.
DETAILS:
That wasn't enough ?
One hack is that the s->file pointer in the stream_s is used to hold the pointer
to the node header in the %rom% file system. This seemed to make some sense.
Unlike the FILE * structure (which is somewhat opaque), there is no dynamic
state info in a node -- the s->position and read pointer within cbuf are enough
to allow read_process, seek, and available procs to operate.
The buffer is slighty larger than the ROMFS_BLOCKSIZE to allow for some data
(up to 256 bytes) not being consumed from the buffer when read_process is
used to refill the buffer. This way we can decompress directly into the cbuf
(at the correct point, of course) and avoid another buffer and copy. This
also means that each 'block' is always at or near the front of cbuf. After
a seek, the block will load at the beginning of cbuf (assuming we did not
already have the requested pos in the buffer).
As with 'file' type streams, the s->read_id is bumped so that the stream
access functions will see the file as 'invalid' (read_id won't match rsize).
The cbuf is also freed when the file is closed (to prevent leaks in a non
GC memory system).
NOTE: IT IS THE CALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FREE THE STREAM RETURNED BY THE
romfs_open_file() function using the memory in the s->memory allocator. In
PostScript, since the -file- ref can be passed around among objects, the
GC is relied upon to free when no further references exist.

Fix (pdfwrite) : More PDF/A-1b complience, continued 2.
DETAILS :
Bug 688742 "PDF/A label missing error in Acrobat preflight", part 4.
This is an experimental patch, which drops the setting of
the symbolic flag for fonts in PDF/A documents.
Doing so because the Acrobat preflight tool
doesn't allow Encoding for symbolic True Type fonts.
The decision for setting the symbolic flag for most fonts has been
done a long ago, and currently we cannot reconstruct all the related history.
We suspect that in novadays that decision appears obsolete.
We commit this patch to allow an accumulation of information
about how this flag affects 3d party software.

Increase the operand stack size limit to the current working maximum = 65414.
Bug 688764.
DETAILS:
PostScript stack cannot exceed the size of a PostScript array (65535) because
the stack is copied to an array when the stack overflows.
The stack space is allocated in blocks. The stack overflow is checked when the
new block is allocated. If the MaxOpStack is set close enough to 65535 the
actual stack size exceeds 65535 at the moment of stack overflow.
This condition is detected when the stack is copied to an array during
stackoverflow processing, causing a low level stack dump.

Changes to make the JOBSERVER and exitserver operate correctly. This is
essential to proper CET and FTS execution.
DETAILS:
The primary changes to allow exitserver to work from files, stdin, strings
and executive mode were making sure that the strings, procedures and
files (or subfildecode filters) were all in "system vm" which is always
a 'stable' memory immune from save/restore (curing the /invalidrestore
errors previously seen). To support executive mode, the statementedit
and lineedit IODevices always allocate in system VM (imemory_system) as
well.
Also changed was to omit the grestoreall in .startnewjob after the
restore since this would go back to the previous 'null' device and
close the device we want (e.g. x11 or display).
This relates to bug 688312, which I will close after determining if
there is any other documentation needed. Also this fixes #201952 which
was previously closed as WONTFIX.
Note that with -dJOBSERVER Ghostscript (unlike ghostpcl) will run the
-c string or the files on the command line or the input to the GS>
prompt as an encapsulated job and multiple files on the command line
will NOT be treated as separate jobs. File that contain a ^D (0x04)
at the end _WILL_ restore the VM state and start a new encapsulated
job for subsequent interpreter actions.
To run an inital file in 'exitserver' mode (affecting the permanent
server state), the -c "true 0 startjob pop" -f can be used prior to
the file. To run files as individual encapsulated jobs (when it is
not known if the job ends with ^D) simply add a file that contains
a ^D between each job on the command line. For example, if '04' is
a file that contains a ^D:
gs -dJOBSERVER x.ps 04 y.ps 04 z.ps -c "true 0 startjob quit"
Also note above that since 'quit' is defined as 'stop' in order to
actually quit you have to go to exitserver mode first (true 0 startjob)
or use the -dBATCH option.
Clean up memory when the gsapi_delete_instance is called. Prevents leaks
from repeated invocations of ghostscript gsapi_ instances. Bug 688181.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Preserve ToUnicode for Type 0 fonts when re-distilling a PDF.
DETAILS :
The old code didn't account ToUnicode CMaps of Type 0 fonts in PDF documents :
1. It attached GlyphNames2Unicode after defonefont happens, so that C code never got it.
2. gdevpdtc.c didn't check Type 0 fonts for GlyphNames2Unicode.
The fix consists of 2 parts :
1. The new code in gs/lib factors out an auxiliary function .composefontdict from composefont .
That function is called before .processToUnicode in pdf_font.ps for Type 0 font.
2. The new code in gs/src factors out the new function get_GlyphNames2Unicode,
which now works for Type 0 fonts also. The change to gdevpdtc.c
checks whether a Type 0 fonts has GlyphNames2Unicode.
If a Type 0 font has GlyphNames2Unicode, it comes from a PDF,
and thus descendent fonts have no GlyphNames2Unicode.
Minor change : Don't search Resource/Decoding/Unicode for CIDs
when composing a ToUnicode CMap, because that resource translates glyph names only.
Bug 688768 "pdfwrite: missing ToUnicode".
Fix (pdfwrite) : Don't create a group from an image with SMask.
DETAILS :
An image with SMask is implemented in the PDF interpreter with creating a

This patch implements the new key .image_with_SMask
for the .begintransparencygroup dictionary operand for
designating the internal group, and the flags :
gx_device_pdf_s::image_with_SMask
gs_transparency_group_params_s::image_with_SMask
gs_pdf14trans_params_s::image_with_SMask
for passing this info to gdevpdft.c .

Substantial performance improvement on Windows platforms to
JPEG2000/JPXDecode filter made by making jasper 'seek' work
within the buffer. Bug 688073 and 688758 for customer #531.
DETAILS:
This wasn't a very big change, but by avoiding going to the OS
for 'seek' operations, the Windoze performance was improved
>40 fold. On linux this doesn't make any improvement but the
OS must be a lot more efficient (I'm actually surprised by
this). The time for the customer file with 688758 runs in
10 seconds (at 40dpi x11) on peeves before and after the fix.
On my Windoze 2.8Ghz P4 (peeves is 3.2GHz P4) the time is
43 seconds after the fix.
Fix (CIDFontType 1) : Check for GDBytes elements to point past the 'loca' table end.
DETAILS :
Bug 688669 "/invalidfont in --@0x100194e0--".
The old code didn't check GDBytes consistency, taking occasional data
past the 'loca' table with an occasional result.
Note that the change to z11_CIDMap_proc in zfcid1.c trows exception,
which is handled by the procedure %Type11BuildGlyph
in gs_cidfn.ps with substituting .notdef .
The test document embeds an incorrect True Type data for the font OBMKGG+H2gtrM.
The True Type header specifies the size of 'loca' table equals to 12 bytes.
In the sfnts array it is a separate string with the array index 2.
Then it renders the glyph index 3 accessing outside the loca table.
It hapens while rendering the text :
/TT5 1 Tf
0.365 0 TD
<0001>Tj
Probably the problem happens because 2 font descriptors (43 0 obj and 38 0 obj,
which correspond to local font names /TT4 and /TT5) refer to same single font data 39 0 obj.
This data is an embedded font subset, which is enough for /TT4 and has no
glyphs for /TT5. This problem to be reported to Adobe Distiler 6,
which created the test document. Is the version 7 better ?
(can't check due to no Postscript source).
In the test case .notdef is the CID 0 and defined in the font as a hollow box.
Don't know why Adobe doesn't print it in the test document.
That's another story. The font doesn't define a space character.

Fix handling of TrueType fonts with a large number of glyphs in the 'post'
table. Bug 688723 for customer number #130.
DETAILS:
First, avoid using the 'postfirst' string to scan the post table.
Second, avoid putting a large array on the op stack when building
the 'postnames' and 'glyphencoding' arrays (pre allocate them and
simply 'put' the values in). Third, don't create dummy names for
.notdef glyphs when building up the CharStrings dict.
With all of these changes, the TT font with 16000 actual named
glyohs can be loaded as a Type 42 font and doesn't overflow the
current default MaxOpStack (50000) or the 64K name limit when
EXTEND_NAMES=0 (the default).
In the future, if we see a font with too many named glyhs, we
may get a 'limitcheck in --cvn--' which will tell us we need to
build with EXTEND_NAMES=1. At that time we can decide if we want
to increase the default for EXTEND_NAMES.

Fix (Font resource machinery) : Apply general methoid for finding a font substitute.
DETAILS :
If a font isn't found, the old code loads Courier definted in Fontmap.GS .
This causes problems with FAPI, which defines its own Courier in
FAPIfontmap.
The new code re-starts the search from the top of the
resource substitution logic, which may be enhanced multiple times with
Font resource category redefinition, particularly with MappedCategoryRedefiner.

Cast character values to (unsigned char) before calling isprint() and
friends. They are designed to work only with ASCII characters, but
some implementations support passing 8 bit character data but only
if it is positive to avoid conflict with a (-1) definition of EOF.
Thus we should cast to map the high characters from negative to
positive values on systems where char is signed by default. Bug
687529.
Define specific compilers for the jbig2 and jpx libraries so their
CFLAGS are passed to the compiler first. This should prevent version
skew problems when building on systems with other versions of the
same headers installed elsewhere.

Fix for 688675 Reading / Converting PDF File created with Adobe
Lifecycle Designer 7.0.
DETAILS:
The test file has xref tables with incorrect generation numbers for
serveral entries. The xref verification logic finds the mismatch
between the generation numbers specified in the xref and the generation
numbers in the objects. It then attempts to requild the xref table.
This fails since the xref rebuild logic does not handle rebuilding
compressed object streams. As a result the file cannot be displayed.
The fix consists of three parts.
1. Change the xref verification logic to exit if compressed object
streams are detected. I am not attempting to recover objects in
compressed object streams since anything that damages a file will
generally trash any compressed data.
2. Change the logic which checks the generation number to simply
print a warning but to continue. Previously this logic would print
a warning and then reject the object. Rejecting an object generally
causes an error to occur as the PDF interpreter attempts to use the
object. The warning message was also enhanced to print both the
expected and actually generation numbers. The given test file
produces about 400 warning messages.
3. Enhance the comments for the print_xref.
Note: Thanks to Alex for his work in determining that the file can be
processed if these changes are made.

Enable the cfax device in the default autoconf build for the convenience

DETAILS:
In general we don't enable random devices used by a subset of users, but
we already include the three raw fax devices, so it isn't worth objecting
to a fourth. CAPI fax is commonly used over ISDN in Europe.
In the future we'd like to support device selection from the configure
commandline, similar to what is done in ESP Ghostscript. With that it
would be reasonable to remove most of the little-used devices since
package build systems will have a standard way to select their set, and
we will have a standard way to enable all supported devices for testing.

UFST bridge : Upgrading to UFST 5.0 .
DETAILS :
This code change doesn't affect a regular build with no UFST bridge,
except an unimportant change to lib.mak .
This revision allows the UFST bridge to compile and work somehow.

Fix for 688686 segfault in find_bit_map().
DETAILS:
The addition of the compressed encoded color logic created a problem for
the psdrgb device. This device shares most of its code with the psdcmyk
device. The common print_page procedure uses devn_unpack_row. This
routine was modified to work with the compressed encoded color values.
However the psdrgb device does not use the compressed encoded color logic.
The fix consists of checking for the presence or absence of a compressed
color list pointer. The presence of this pointer indicates if the compressed
color logic is being used. The appropriate uncompress logic is used.

pdfwrite : Implementing ColorImageAutoFilterStrategy, GrayImageAutoFilterStrategy.
DETAILS :
This patch implements ColorImageAutoFilterStrategy, GrayImageAutoFilterStrategy
destiller parameters, and applies them for choosing image encoding filters
when Ghostscript is built with Luratech filters.
1. Since the old architecture defines common image parameter lists for
pswrite and pdfwrite, now we need to pass CompatibilityLevel to
those common modules. Doing that in a hackish way with defining
a new field gx_device_psdf::ParamCompatibilityLevel,
and setting it whenever that stuff is called from pdfwrite.
2. Using it for the filter choice in psdf_setup_image_filters.
3. Enhance psdf_get_image_params and psdf_put_image_params with
ColorImageAutoFilterStrategy, GrayImageAutoFilterStrategy (gdevpsdp.c).
4. Passing the lossless option for JPXEncode filter in setup_image_compression,
and using that filter for lossless compression instead FlateEncode/LZWEncode
when it is available, depending on ColorImageAutoFilterStrategy, GrayImageAutoFilterStrategy.
5. With CompatibilityLevel>=1.5, with 1bpp images we choose JBIG2Encode instead
FlateEncode/LZWEncode when it is available.
Thus, when Luratech filters are available, with CompatibilityLevel>=1.5,
Luratech filters work by default.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Add hooks for setting the lossly compression quality target or lossless
compression to the jpxe stream state. Both new parameters are optional,
but the set_defaults method must now be called for consistent behavior.
The quality option allows setting a quality value (1-100 inclusive)
different from the default, currently 60. Setting the lossless flag
specifies lossless encoding and overrides any quality setting.
Change ASCII85Decode EOD handling to make sure that the EOD characters are
consumed before we provide the last bit of data to the caller. The ~> sequence
(actually could be ~ > ) left in the currentfile would
cause an /undefined error. Bug 688618.
DETAILS:
When the input is piped from %stdin the smaller buffers tripped over this
frequently with the test file simply because there were more buffer bounds
conditions.
Note that this area is _still_ not quite the way Adobe works, but without
major surgery and analysis of Adobe filter behaviour we aren't likely to
achieve 100% compatiblity.
Since we handle the case where the EOD sequence is in the part of the buffer
that we defer processing on (if last is false) we should be quite similar
as far as when we process the EOD since if a complete EOD wasn't in the
buffer previously, the '~' was left there. Now we avoid returning the last
word of data if the complete EOD isn't in the tail of the buffer.
If the EOD sequence seen in the tail is preceded by the 'real' EOD before
the tail in the current buffer, the "false positive" does no harm. Similarly
if there is a malformed EOD '~' not followed by '>' (possibly with intervening
) the error condition will still be detected when the '~' is actually
parsed in the deocder.

None. The regression suite still runs fine for me, including FTS files that

Bug 688606 "ps2pdf fails with Error: /undefinedresult in --stroke--".
The pdfwrite device uses an inverse CTM to satisfy
Adobe Reader constraing for user coordinates.
The test document demonstrates another case when a 3d party software
strokes a path with a degenerate CTM. The old code already implements
a workaround for a si,ilar case. However the old

we make it weaker to pass a new class of degenerate CTMs.

Fix (memory manager) : Reduce the CPU time consumption for 'restore'.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing
Bug 688602 "Displaying file with GS-8.53 is much slower than with GS-8.51".
Currently the new code is disabled with the macro NO_INVISIBLE_LEVELS
defined in gxalloc.h .
The performance flaw happened in revision 5980.
Before it the memery manager created "invisible" save levels
when the changes list becomes too long and needs a big time for
restoring l_new marks. The idea was to skip marls for
older changes so that they don't consume processor time.
The cost was an extra growth of the changes list,
because such changes are stored at second time
if happen again after the "invisible" 'save'.
While fixing the bug 68815 this optimization was lost
because it was not documented.
In same time, "invisible" 'save' levels appear logically incorrect,
because they cause the problem documented in the bug 68815.
This change implements same idea (the skipping of old changes
while 'restore'), but it does that with no extra 'save' levels.
The new implementation maintains a pointer
gs_ref_memory_t::scan_limit, which points
to a middle element of the changes list.
Elements after that pointers do not restore
l_new mark during 'restore'. Besides that,
this change introduces a new kind of change list elements,
which is marked with AC_OFFSET_ALLOCATED in the 'offset' field.
Such elements do not represent a memory content change,
but they represent an allocation event for 'ref' arrays.
The l_new mark is restored for those refs,
which were allocated after the change element
pointed by gs_ref_memory_t::scan_limit.
To simplify debugging, we define a new switch
NO_INVISIBLE_LEVELS in gxalloc.h .
When NO_INVISIBLE_LEVELS is zero,
an algorithmically equivalent change happens in isave.c
and igcref.c, and other modules are not affected.
In this case :
1. Factored out a new function mark_allocated (isave.c).
2. Added a new argument to save_set_new, save_set_new_changes
to know that it is called for an invisible level (isave.c).
3. Factored out a new function igc_reloc_ref_ptr_nocheck (igcref.c).
When NO_INVISIBLE_LEVELS is 1 :
1. Invisible save levels are not created
(the change to alloc_save_state in isave.c).
2. Instead that, it creates a new kind of alloc_change_t element,
which is marked with AC_OFFSET_ALLOCATED in the 'offset' field.
Such element points to the beginning of a newly allocated 'ref' array
(either packed or not) (see alloc_save_change_alloc in isave.c).
3. The new function alloc_save_remove removes such elements when
the object is being removed explicitely.
4. save_set_new is expanded to process the new kind of alloc_change_t elements.
With such elements it calls mark_allocated (see above),
so that the effect is same as before the patch.
5. The scanning of allocated objects in save_set_new is removed
due to (3).
6. save_set_new_changes is extended with computing the size of
newly allocated 'ref' arrays, which are processed during the scan.
It appears to be close to what save_set_new did while scanning
allocated objects (the variable 'changed').
7. The new field gs_ref_memory_t::scan_limit stores a termination
condition for scanning objects in save_set_new_changes.
The value is stored when save_set_new_changes is called
from alloc_save_state as it was for creatng an invisible save level.
Rather the new code doesn't create an invisible level,
the scan termination condition work as it were created.
8. save_set_new_changes uses the variable 'changed'
for a proper setting of the termination condition.
The condition is not exactly equivalent to the
old one, because the old code also accounts
a scanning of non-ref objects, but the new code
doesn't bother with them. Therefore new termination conditions
appear in some different points than invisible levels did.
Therefore the behavior isn't algorithmically equivalent.
9. The new code always restore to a 'visible' level.
In same time, doing a 'restore', some of l_new marks
may be left unrestored due to the scan tremination condition.
This effect may be considered as caching a reasonable
number of recently changed objects by marking with l_new.
Older changes loose the l_new mark and their further changes
will be stored again in the 'changes' list.
This causes an extra growth of the 'changes' list,
but saves the processor time from redundant setting
of multiple l_new marks when save-restore is executed
multiple times after a big number of changes.
10. The garbager implements a special processing for
AC_OFFSET_ALLOCATED elements. The 'where' pointer is not
enumerated and isn't tracked while the marking phase.
Instead that the garbager calls a special function
alloc_save__filter_changes to remove those elements,
which point to unused ref blocks. Also a special function
igc_reloc_ref_ptr_nocheck is used to relocate
'where' pointers. See comments in code.
11. In AC_OFFSET_ALLOCATED elements 60% of their size
appears unused. We would like to define a smaller
structure for them, but we don't want
enlarge the CPU time expense for checking types
in loops.
Thus NO_INVISIBLE_LEVELS 1 reconstructs the optimization,
which was lost while fixing the bug 688153 with the revision 5980.
Rather the behavior isn't strongly equivalent,
the overall logic is mostly same.
Now we commit this patch with new code disabled.
We'll enable it separately after the regression testing
of the algorithmically equivalent part.

Fix for 688068 Problem with overprint in 1bit cmyk device.
DETAILS:
This problem was caused by an earlier change which was made for support
of ROPs in the GhostPCL product. Logically there are some conflict
between the requirements for ROPs versus overprint. See the discussion
in 688638 for the details.
Logically this change backs out the earlier change to big_map_color_rgb.
In actuality, a new routine call bit_decode_color was made which operates
like the earlier version of bit_map_color_rgb. The new routine was created
since the current bit_map_color_rgb will be needed for ROP support.

Fix for 688625 5x to 15x slowdown between 8.50 and 8.53 (ref#10273).
DETAILS:
The given test file specifies a graphics state for almost every line drawn.
As a result, over 380,000 extra transparency mask initializations are done.
The extra time occurred when the PDF transparency processing was changed
being passed through the clist.These extra initializations were using both
CPU time and clist memory (disk) space.
The fix consists of only processing PDF transparency features when it
is actually needed by the file. Note: This was already being done
for most PDF transparency operations but not for the mask initializtion.

Fix rangecheck in shfill caused by floating point inaccuracies in the function
logic. Previous logic allowed for inaccuracy, but the value scaling was wrong
making the test too stringent. Bug 688574 for customer 531.
DETAILS:
This rangecheck failure was not consistent across various builds, but _was_
repeatable on peeves. The problem was a floating point calculation truncation
which caused a vaule to go outside of the defined range (in this case, the
value went negative and the limit was 0.0).
There was logic present in 'fn_1ItSg_is_monotonic' to allow for small
'out of bounds' conditions, but the value used was defined for a different
range and thus was too strict.
While fixing this (by splitting the 'small' values to different ones for
the 'b' range and the 'e' range) I also corrected many spelling errors
(s/noize/noise/ and s/beak/peak). I also regularized the small float
value to (float)1e-6 in the various modules.
Work around a bug in GCC 2.96 for x86. Pre-load stack pages to avoid a SEGV.
Bug 688574.
DETAILS:
It is well known that GCC 2.96 for x86 sometimes forgets to adjust $esp
and leaves automatic variables at small distance below the stack pointer.
Apparently, when the access to the automatic variable causes a page fault
Linux sends a SEGV signal instead of committing the page if the access
happens below the stack pointer. Pre-loading the stack pages from a known
good context resolves the problem.

Recognize PDF fonts by the first 4 bytes of the font stream. Simplify
Type 1 font reader and PFB font reader.
Bug 688569 from customer 850.
DETAILS:
Some PDF files mis-identify font type of the embedded font streams or
include raw PDF font streams. Length1, Length2, Length3 may be wrong or
missing. Adobe Acrobat corrects these types transparently to the user.
All PDF font streams can be easily recognized by the 1st 4 bytes of
the font stream. The PFB stream can be recognized by the 1st 2 bytes.
The Type 1 font reader doesn't need to follow 3-part structure of the
Type 1 font but interpret it as a single stream. PDF specifies that
Type 1 fonts with binary-encoded eexec streams can be embedded. One can
imagine a binary eexec stream that is mis-identified as a hexadecimal
eexec stream by a standard PostScript eexec operator. So the encoded
stream was converted to hexadecimal stream before rev. 6568 . In
practice we've never seen a stream that need a hexadecimal conversion
but had several real hexadecimal streams. When the hexadecimal
conversion was removed in rev. 6568, handling of 3-part Type 1 structure
became a rudiment with is removed now.
Existing code restores the operand and dictionary stacks after the font
interpretation. So no extra code is required to support fonts without
the 3rd part - zeros and cleartomark.
These changes enable Ghostscript to interpret many kinds of malformed
font streams but reduce it's utility as a verification tool. Checking
of the declared type, subtype, and length parameters vs. actual values
has been moved to the bug 688627 and will be implemented later.

Fix for 688608 image rendered black in PDF-file
DETAILS:
The test file for this problem has several 1 bit DeviceGray images. The file also uses
the 'Darken' blending mode. This result of this blending mode is the darker of the
background and source colors.
The problem was that 1 bit DeviceGray images are handled by the copy_mon device procedure.
The PDF 1.4 transparency compositor devices were using the gx_default_copy_mono procedure.
However this routine first sets the specified area to black and then sets the white regions.
Since the entire area is first set to black, the blending operation always produced a
black result.
The fix consists of creating a new copy_mono procedure for the PDF 1.4 transparency
compositor devices. The new routine does not set the entire area to black first.

Fix luratech-based encode filters. We now appear to work correctly.
DETAILS:
Invert the JBIG2 image data before passing it to the encoder library. We
allocate a scratch buffer for this because the buffer we are passed in
the read cursor struct is marked const. We now produce output with the
correct meaning for 0 and 1 bits, but the output of the jbig2 output
device is now inverted.
In both the jbig2 and jpx encode filters, repeatedly grow dynamic
buffers until they reach the required size instead of assuming a
single doubling will be sufficient. This fixes a segfault inside
the library compressing large JPX images.

Fix (pdfwrite) : The font copying and the font comparizon didn't work with segmented True Type data.
DETAILS :
Bug 688611 "Font included in the PDF file several times".
In Postscript documents Trus Type font data are segmented
to fit into a maximal Postscript string.
If a True Type table is bigger, it must be segmented.
When creating a stable font copy such case is rare,
because we copy small tables only (skipping such big tables as 'glyph'
in order to create a font subset).
In the supplied test case True Type font is so wrongly segmented,
that 'cvt' table consistes of 2 segments, rather it could fit into a single string.
Due to that the old code accessed occasional data after a segment break.
We believe that the test document is an incorrect Postscript,
but we decided to do effort for handling this case.

This is a preliminary implementation.
The new filters in this revision isn't working well and need more debugging.
To build Ghostscript with new filters, specify

/MonoImageFilter /JBIG2Encode
>> setdistillerparams
JPXEncode requires CompatibilityLevel=1.5 ,
JBIG2Encode requires CompatibilityLevel=1.4 .

The change to gdevpsdi.c near line 239 slightly changes
the behavior in the case when no new filters involved.

Instead of using the dimensions and depth of the first image component,
take the maximum of the values for each component, giving the highest
resolution image. The library doesn't supply the information from
the Image Header Box which should be the actual target resolution,
so we still need to implement passing the target image dimensions
from the image dictionary for complete robustness.
Also, some code clean up and improvement of debugging messages.

Add a bash script to search for the first svn rev. that succeeds. Binary search
is used to decide which rev to try next.
DETAILS:
There is a 'usage' if no parameters are given. If Ghostscript exits with a
non-zero exit code, then the 'test' operand is not needed. For example,
if rev. 6170 corresponds to 8.53, and the current HEAD is 6647, then the
following will find the first revision which succeeds (6579):
search-svn-revs 6170 6647 'bin/gs -dBATCH -dNODISPLAY -dNOPAUSE -q coloraerial.pdf'
The gs output is captured in 'test.log' so that output can be examined (for
instance using 'grep') for status conditions where the gs exit code is not
useful.
Note that if this is run on casper, where the svn repository is local, then
changing the "svn co ..." line to from "svn+ssh://svn.ghostscript.com/" to
"file:///" will perform the checkout more quickly.
There is a guess made for GS_LIB which is concatenated to the previous definition
(if any), to ./lib:/home/regression/fonts which also works on casper or peeves.

Fix a problem with CMYK JPXDecode filter image streams.
DETAILS:
The Luratech jp2 decoder does not return a general image size for CMYK
images (this seems to be a bug) or for images with subsampled
components. Therefore we use the dimensions of the zeroth component
rather than querying the overall image (component -1).
When the JPXDecode filter implementation is extended to pass the
required Colorspace information from the image dictionary, it should
also pass the specified width and height of the image, since this
is the actual specification the filter must produce data for.

Fix opening of lib files so that %rom% files can be found. Previous code
only worked for default (os) device. Change iccinit1 so that gs_init.ps
is opened with .libfile allowing gs_init.ps to be changed even when
COMPILE_INITS=1. Remove another vestige of the old 'static resource'
approach that is no longer needed by COMPILE_INITS=1.
DETAILS:
This was a moderate amount of surgery, but was functionally extracted
from the old lib_fopen_with_libpaths and merged into lib_open_file
which now returns a PS file object. The lib_fopen now gets the FILE *
pointer from the stream structure for use in processing @ files.
Since the -I paths and the environment GS_LIB paths precede the
%rom% device (present when COMPILE_INITS=1) it is now eay to supersede
the init files, cidfmap, Fontmap, during development or debug, so
there is little downside to running COMPILE_INITS=1 other than making
the executable bigger (6.6Mb vs 3.3Mb with the current CMaps). Defining
the GenericResourceDir string (using -s) on the command line also still
works since the PS code in iccinit1.c only sets this if it is not
predefined. The upside to having COMPILE_INITS=1 is that the gs
executable is fully self contained and does not need to be 'installed'.
If we built in the fonts (in the Resource/Fonts directory) then even
these aren't needed externally. It might reduce some of the common newbie
problems using Ghostscript. Then the executable grows to a healthy 9.9Mb
(fonts don't compress hardly at all currently).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES.
None.

Implement enhancement 688575 Add a cal back mechanism for support of PANTONE
or other special spot colors
DETAILS:
Ghostscript currently does not current have a mechanism for special handling
of PANTONE or other special spot colors.
Currently all spot colors, in either a DeviceN or a Separation color space,
are either processed via the alternate tint transform for the color space, or
treated as a separation (as in the tiffsep device).
Obtaining the proper appearance of PANTONE or other special sets of spot
colors, when custom inks are not available, usually depends upon values which
are specific the devices inks, media, etc. This is not usually handled
properly by the tint transform function.
This enhancement adds a call back mechanism to allow custom processing of
DeviceN and Separation color spaces by the calling application.
A description of the implementation is present in the comment block at
the start of src/gsnamecl.c. An example implementation is provided in
src/gsncdemo.c. The example implemenation shows how to interface with
the various Ghostscript structures and routines. The example implementation
only contains a few demo colors.
The entire implemenation is conditionally compiled by a switch called
ENABLE_NAMED_COLOR_CALLBACK in src/gsnamecl.h. Currently this switch
is set to disable the implementation.

Fix : A slow rendering of a colored halftone (2nd attempt).
DETAILS :
Bug 688537 "A very slow rendering to spotcmyk".
The first attempt caused a regression with pkmraw and
has been undone. This patch accounts pkmraw effects,
which are explained below as "Auxiliary changes".
This patch creates a special branch in gx_default_fill_path
for filling a path with a colored halftone.
It installs a clipper device and then renders
a rectangle through it, using the halftone color painting method immediately.
Auxiliary changes :
The new branch in gx_default_fill_path calls gx_cpath_intersect
for intersecting the filling path with the clipping path.
The latter calls gx_default_fill_path again for
converting a path into a rectangular clip list.
Now we pass the fill adjastment parameters
of the main gx_default_fill_path invocation
to the inner invocation.
Doing so because we need the intersection to be closer to
what the regular algorithm fills. The new function
gx_cpath_intersect_with_params works for that.
Particularly it causes dropout prevention to work
for clipping, when a character is filled with a halftone.
The clip list accumulator device now sets
gx_device::memory to a real memory manager.
Before now it was NULL. The new code
uses it to allocate working data for the dropout prevention code.
Besides that, gx_cpath_intersect_with_params
now applies fill adjustment in the special
branch for a rectangular path intersection.
The flag OLD_CODE_COMPATIBILITY minimizes raster differences
for easier testing. It should be removed later,
because we believe that the old code is not perfect :
it doesn't pass fill adjustment through gx_cpath_intersect
while filling with a shading color.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Implement %rom% IODevice and use it for the COMPILE_INITS=1 builds. Data

directories and other. The (%rom%) path is inserted as the first path on
the LIBPATH list when COMPILE_INITS=1. The default GenricResourceDir is
set to %rom%Resource/ unless the command line sets -sGenericReourceDir.
Bug 687485.
DETAILS:
See gsiorom.* and mkromfs.c for details of the %rom% structure. The inital
implementation creates a string buffer for the entire file (block by block)
decompression is not yet implemented (a new stream type).
The %rom% IODevice is not PostScript specific so it could be used by non
PS interpreters (GhostPCL) but the creation of gsromfs.c by mkromfs needs
to be performed elsewhere (hint in src/lib.mak).
NOTES:
Tested on unix and Windows. Mac, OS/2 and VMS will need attention as will
non-MSVC tool chains. Since this replaces the old COMPILE_INIT method
don't use COMPILE_INTIS=1 on those platforms unless you are working on
fixing problems or just feel lucky.
The insertion of the %rom% device as the first path in the LIBPATH list
will make changing initfiles during debug more cumbersome, but using
COMPILE_INITS=1 is really not intended for debugging or development anyway.

Implement yet another hack for an invalid PDF file that Adobe handles. If
a parameter is missing from the Page tree, check the Root Catalog. This case
had MediaBox in the Root dict, but not anywhere in the Pages tree. Bug 688562
for customer 670.
DETAILS:
MicroPatent probably misinterprets the spec where it mentions "For example,
a document might specify the same media box for all of its pages by including
a MediaBox entry in the root node of the page tree." thinking that the Root
Catalog is the Root of the Page tree, rather than the /Pages object from the
Root.

Fix for 688560 DeviceN with InDesign gradient causes segmentation fault.
DETAILS:
I am unable to reproduce the reported seg fault. This patch fixes the
/rangecheck in --.sethalftone5--
The file was specifying a Gray halftone and also specifying the
SeparationORder parameter to select only a Cyan colorant. This
was creating confusion in the halftone install logic. The rangecheck
was being generated when the Gray halftone was being confused as a
second Default halftone.
The fix consists of adding a check for the situation in which the
device indicates that a color is supported by the device but not
being used because of the SeparationOrder parameter. Note: There
was already one check in the procedure for this situation but a
second check is needed to handle the 'treat gray like black' etc.

DETAILS :
Bug 687628 "ProcessColorModel /DeviceCMYK does not work".
This is a preliminary implementation of ColorConversionStrategy,

We don't care about performance due to low demand to this feature.
Due to same reason a systematical testing was not done

We would appreciate users' help in testing new features.

The old Ghostscript-specific value UseDeviceDependentColor

pdfwrite : A simplified implementation for ColorConversionStrategy values CMYK and sRGB .
DETAILS :
Bug 687628 "ProcessColorModel /DeviceCMYK does not work".
This is a preliminary implementation of ColorConversionStrategy, the values CMYK and sRGB .
We don't care about performance due to low demand to this feature.
Therefore some objects, which use an incompatible color space,
are converted to low level objects.
The new parameter values were not systematically tested due to low demand.
We would appreciate users' help in testing them.
For now the parameter values UseDeviceIndependentColor and UseDeviceIndependentColorForImages
work as LeaveColorUnchanged, but the effect of UseDeviceIndependentColor
may be obtained with specifying -dUseCIEColor .
When specifying CMYK or sRGB, the value of ProcessColorModel must be
DeviceCMYK or DeviceRGB cvorrespondingly.
The color conversion to sRGB is performed with the default color conversion,
which Ghostscript uses to convert to DeviceRGB color model.
Therefore color transfer may be imperfect.
Conversion to CMYK uses the default conversion also.

Removes hexadecimal conversion from the code and pass the encrypted

the encrypted part, but some PDF producers embed fonts with hexadecimal
encoding unchanged. The standard eexec operator recognizes and decodes
them transparently.
The only case that is not handled is a binary-encoded file that looks like a
hexadecimal encoding to eexec. This case has not been observed in the wild.

DETAILS :
This makes our StartData procedure to be compatible with Distiller and CPSI.
It is not clear from the TN #5014 whether an empty Hex stream should have an
EOD character but Adobe doesn't accept it. For non-empty streams they
appear to use an /ASCIIHexDecide filter. Our previous implementation used
readhexstring operator, which didn't consume the trailing EOD characters by

Fix (pdfwrite) : Allow instandard glyph names when synthesising an Encoding for 'glyphshow'.
DETAILS :
Bug 688017 "ps2pdf problem with CFF fontset resources".
The old code emited 'rangecheck' when glyphshow uses a glyph name,
which doesn't appear in Postscript font Encoding.
It hapens so due to the old code forces standard glyph names,
because other old procedures were restricted with them.
As result, such glyphs converted to rasters.

in order to prevent mixing glyphs from various fonts.
3. charproc_compatibility_data_t is defined to reduce the gx_device_pdf::find_resource_param bogus.
4. pdf_char_widths_from_charprocs is a new function for reconstructing
real_width when a PDF Type 3 font is attached to another PS font.
Due to historical reason, real_width is a property of the attachment,
rather in novadays it should be a property of PDF font.
It happens because a PDF font may migrate to another PS font due to charproc merging,
especially in case of glyph variations.
5. The condition for involving pdf_find_same_charproc has been changed
in pdf_end_charproc_accum to a weaker one, to allow to merge with charprocs from other fonts.
With the old condition a charproc didn't merge when appears in a font at the first time,
so it never merged with ones from other fonts.
6. Added a marking of glyph names in pdf_char_proc_ownership_t for the garbager.
7. Now we mark glyph names for garbager for all simple fonts,
except synthesised bitmap fonts (which use char codes instead glyph names).
The old code did for non-bitmap Type 3 only, and theretore it can have an indeterminizm
with other simple font types.
8. Minor change to gsstruct.c :
Added gs_*_st_strings1_ptrs4 and moved gs_*_st_strings1_ptrs1
for a better code grouping.
This change causes a minor dirrefernce in raster with Bug687660a.ps with pdfwrite at 72 dpi.
It happens because the space glyph appears same for two fonts, which form a single text,
so that the font change appears some earier. However it causes the representation
of a glyph position to change from an absolute coordinate (in user points)
to the Tj offset operand (in the 1000-unit scale).
It causes a 1 pixel noize (the glyph shift) due to a different rounding.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Avoid the dependency of a charproc on char code, step 4.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for the bug 688513 "pdfwrite: redundant CharProcs elements.".
This change moves char_code and the font reference from the charproc structure
to pdf_char_proc_ownership_t.
The function pdf_is_same_charproc has been reorganized due to the data structure change,
and the condition become weaker - not accoutning character codes
and Postscript glyph id.
With this change pdf_end_charproc_accum performs an untrivial charproc substitution
with 238-01.ps due to a weaker condition for charproc equality
But we still have an example (t1.ps from the bug 238-01.ps),
which needs a further improvement.

The old code created encoding elements for entire text

1. Converting pdf_encode_string into pdf_encode_string_element
with dropping the text characters cycle.
2. Call it in process_text_modify_width, process_text_return_width

(because now it is an auxiliary function for pdf_process_string).
4. Few function prototype changes done to pass necessary data
to pdf_encode_string_element.

DETAILS :
Bug 687875 "pdfwrite : Type 0 FMapType 9 font with a Type 3 descendent converts to bitmaps".
Bug 687298 "(pdfwrite) composite font with Type 3 descendent".
The old code converted such fonts into bitmap fonst.
The new code converts them into multiple Type 3 fonts ;
A. If a composite font uses a CMap mapping,
the Type 3 font descendent may use any CID from the CMap.
Therefore such single Type 3 font is being converted into
multiple Type 3 fonts, each of which is restricted
with 256 characters by the PDF specification.
B. If a composite font has multiple Type 3 descendents,
each descendent form a separate Type 3 font in the PDF output
(or multiple fonts if it falls into both cases (A) and (B)).
This is a case-driven implementation, which is done with adding special branches into
scan_cmap_text and process_text_modify_width for handling the failed cases.
Other new cases (which we have no samples for) may may need further improvements.

Fix for 688487 A crash from garbage collector pointer validation.
This is an addition to 688413 DeviceN under implements 'attributes'
DETAILS:
The GC validation problem was caused by the DeviceN attribute list elements
not being freed. These list elements contained Separation color spaces.
The color spaces contained a 'map' element which was being freed. The
GC validation logic was detecting the that the color spaces were pointing
to a freed item.
The fix consists of adding a reference count to the gs_device_n_attributes
structure plus the appropriate logic for incrementing/decrementing.
The name of the DeviceN attributes list was changed to colorants per
Igor's request.

a back-up definitions of the procedures that do their job and issue a warning.
Other correct but old-fashioned fonts define CharString construction procedures
in userdict. We had the back-up procedures defined above userdict, where they
preempted the userdict definitions and issued a bogus warning. This patch moves
the definitions below userdict.

Remove the check for files not listed in CVS.
DETAILS:
This no longer works since we've switched to subversion for version control. The
check could of course be ported, but the object was the detect files that had
either accidentally been left out of a commit, or files that might slip into a
release unintentionally. The 'svn status' command is an effective and more
commonly used check for the former, and our policy of building releases from
a clean export of the tag eliminates the other.

Partial fix for 688413 DeviceN under implements 'attributes'
DETAILS:
This patch implements the passing of DeviceN attribute color spaces into the graphics library. The patch consists of the following pieces:
1. In lib/gs_devn.ps: Attribute color spaces are processed like another color space and then .attachattributecolorspace is called to associate the attribute color space with a DeviceN color space.
2. In lib/pdf_draw.ps: Logic wa added to resolve references to attribute color spaces in PDF DeviceN color spaces.
3. In src/zcsdevn.c and src/gscdevn.c: The implementation of the .attachattributecolorspace is done.
4. Header files were modified to add the attribute color space structures and fields.
5. GC enumeration and relocation logic was added.
Add the PDFA_def prefix file to the file documentation.

Remove the unused ARCH_CACHE defines and the code in genarch.c that
creates them. Bug 688469.
DETAILS:
The cache detection was both slow and unreliable, especially given the
spread of cpu and memory speeds now available. Furthermore, no use was
being made of these attempted cache size measurements. We have therefore
removed them as a simplification.
Choosing the blocksize of large inner loops can indeed be a good
technique, but this is a case of premature optimization. Moreover,
it's usually better to test at run time with the actual algorithm
in question than try to work from a general number.
Enable use of "Bold" in BaseFont name when doing font substitution from PDF

infers a Bold font, but is not present for all Bold fonts since it has a
different meaning).
The pdf_font.ps logic had logic for "Narrow" in the font name, but not "Bold".

With Type 0 fonts the PDF specification allows to skip ToUnicode only

Have genarch define ARCH_SIZEOF_GX_COLOR_INDEX in arch.h. Bug 687523.
DETAILS:
One can't use the sizeof operator in preprocessor directives, so there's
been no way to do compile-time codepath choice based on the chosen size
of the color index type, which is quite important for performance.
Therefore we add a test to genarch.h to make this runtime test available
throughout the code when Ghostscript is built.
Note that this is a little fragile since the GX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE define
is set by the toplevel makefiles. If nothing is set, the code in
gxcindex.h falls back to 'unsigned long int'. genarch.c now has the same
fallback, but obviously those should be kept in sync.

Fix (TT interpreter) : Uninitialized data access while interpreting a high subglyph tree.
DETAILS :
Bug 688421 "Ghostscript deadloop when processing PDF".
Actually the behavior was indeterministic due to
BuildGlyphOutlineAux wrongly computed a points array offset
while concatinating point lists of subglyphs.
The error happened only with subglyphs, which
include subglyphs (i.e. when a subglyph tree height
is greater than 2). The test document embeds a font
with such glyph.
1. The core of the change is in ttfmain.c :
it fixes the incorrect offset computation.
2. An assertion added into gxpflat.c for an earlier
detection of an incorrect behavior.
Without this assertion another assertion
fails in same module few moments later,
and the analyzis appears some complicated.
3. Check and propagate a return code from

Fix (font machinery) : Improve the font-matrix cache management.
DETAILS :
Bug 688422 "Assertion failed! in gxccman.c".
This patch restricts the probability of failure
with a reasonable limit - 200 faces per BuildChar.
Ratrher it doesn't fix the bug completely,
the failure won't happen in practical cases.
This patch maintains a list of font-matrix pairs in the order
of accessing them. When cache overflows, it drops
the pair, which was not accessed a long time ago.
See comments in code for more details.
If one needs to drop the constraint for the number of
font-matrix pairs per charproc, entire cache algorithm to be
revised. First, it needs to lock font-matrix pairs
while they are referred by a text enumerator,
which executes a charproc. Second, need a workaround
for the case of 200 "nested" charprocs,
which exceed entire cache with locked pairs.
This patch adds new 'assert' statements into code.
We cannot replace them with return codes,
because a container function is being called
by the garbager as a part of a finalization routine
of font objects, with no way to propagate an error code.

/A (Subtype)i value of /URI so that Adobe Reader will recognize it as a
hyperlink to a web site. Bug 688414 for customer 515.
DETAILS:
The URI key/value pair from the pdfmark list would ordinarily go into
the upper level Annot dict. Instead this is deferred and processed with
the /Action (/A) into the /A dict. A /S key with value /URI is also added
into the /A dict. This is done prior to processing keys that may have
been present in the /Action key, so that any /S (or /Subtype) and any
/URI from the pdfmark /A list will replace the one we move from the
Annot dict. This may not be exactly what Distiller does in the event

When a scaled font is being removed from the font cache,

pdfwrite : Extract FontInfo information from TrueType font data.
DETAILS :
This patch provides font metadata for the PDF/A project for
True Type fonts, which have insufficient FontInfo data.
The new function gs_type42_font_info is a special method
for True Type font subclasses. It extracts data from the 'name' table
of a True Type font data. pdfwrite calls it when creating a stable copy
of a Type 11 or a Type 42 font. Later the data
is being accounted by pdf_write_font_metadata.
Note that PDF True Type fonts are not necessarily include a 'name' table.
Therefore re-distilling a PDF may give insufficient Metadata
for the PDF/A format.

Add capability to display text Value strings in Widget Annotations. Multi

/DA appearance string (used to select font and color, etc.) as well as /Q
(quadding == justinfication) properly supported. Bug 688368 for customer
#670.
DETAILS:
This is an initial implementation sufficient for the customer's immediate
requirement. NYI includes handling Flag (/F and /Ff) bits, one of which
is supposed to make the rendering "invisible".
Note that if the /AP keyword is present, that appearance will be used to
render the Annotation rather than the /V value based rendering. This was
needed to properly render the 01_001.pdf where both keys are present.
Presumably, the /AP appearance was 'baked in' by the form filling application.
Also note that the /DA string in the sample file used "/FontName scale Tf"
which required making the /Tf implementation handle both a font dictionary
(usual case) as well as a font name (pdf_ops.ps change).

need to get Coipyright, Owner from the TT data.
1. Define a new device parameter PDFA. It is not yet documented
because PDF/A project isn't complete.
2. gx_device_pdf::uuid_time keeps an unique time for all UUIDs
to minimize an indeterminizm.
3. Made pdf_base_font_s be public : moved to gdevpdtf.h .
4. pdf_write_embedded_font computes an MD5 sum of the font
for generating an instance id for the font.
5. The new function pdf_font_metadata perform the main work.
Foe now pdf_write_font_metadata uses some inaccurate coding with
copy&replace. Doing so because we don't know the final structure yet.
Will factor out common subfunctions later.

Fix : An unitialized data access.
DETAILS :
We detected sevral problems with running comparefiles with pdfwrite with
enabling floating point interrupts (patch IM866).
This patch fixes an unitialized data access, or inaccurate type casts.
These problems may relate to Bug 688379
"pdfwrite: an indeterministic behavior with Bug687660a.ps",
rather we could not get a proof for that
due to instability of the effect in the old code.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (pdfwrite) : /BP pdfmark could create dead PDF objects (continiued).
DETAILS :
Bug 687560 "Invalid PDF if /BP pdfmarks with non-unique /_objdef".
Changes to gdevpdfm.c :
1. The new function pdfmark_bind_named_object provides a correct association
of an object with an object name, accounting forward references
and duplicate objects. Now it is used in pdfmark_SP and pdfmark_EP.
as an uniforem method for such association.
2. pdfmark_PS objects are now written when created. The old code missed them.
3. Add a comment about an important constraint in pdfmark_BP,
which is a consequence of basic assumptions.
4. Issue rangecheck if an object is attempted to modify after it is written.
Chanes to gdevpdfu.c :
pdf_find_same_resource now works for named resources.
Changes to gdevpdfo.c :
Since pdf_substitute_resource in pdfmark_EP can associate one object
with multiple names, the freeing logic is improved
to avoid crashes due to dual freeing of objects.
General consequences :
1. The new code writes an object whenever it is defined,
with no regard whether it is referred or not.
If one needs an optimization with skipping
unreferenced objects, the named object handling logics
to be changed dramaticly with distinguishing a storage for
all objects and a storage for currently named objects.
An object must get special mark whenever it is referred
(it would be a big distrubuted change through the code).
Writing all objects to be delayed until the document end,
and a garbage collection to be implemented for that storage.
2. We do not reproduce a part of Adobe Distiller behavior,
which allows to modify objects when they are being created between
pdfmark_BP and pdfmark_EP. Particularly this prohibits self-referenced objects.
This is a strong consequence of (1).
(Note that the bug 687560 examples miss a big class of cases when
the creating object is referenced with /PUT pdfmark during its creation.
Those examples show only cases when it is being modified.).
3. Users should not define "pdfmark libraries" with multiple object definitions,
which are not really used. We realize that such libraries may be useful
for a better modularity of document creation algorithms.
However we do not have enough engineering resources to
develop this area, and we have no real customer demand on it.
Instead that object definitions to be included into source PS code
only if they are really used in the document.
Thanks to SaGS for supplied test cases.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Generate ToUnicode CMap data from 'uniXXXX' character names.
DETAILS :
Bug 688373 "Text does not extract with correct codes".
We guess it's another undocumented feature of Adobe Distiller.
Some Type 1 fonts appear to contain Korean glyphs with
glyph names in the format uniXXXX, where X is a hexadecimal character.
Adobe Distiller 6 looks to recognize them when generating ToUnicode.
Now we do same.
We're not sure on what condition the recognition may happen.
For now we do whenever a simple font (Type 1,2,42) has no GlyphNames2Unicode entry
for the given glyph.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (TT font parser) : An incorrect Encoding entry type appeared.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Prevent a crash due to an incorrect Encoding of a Type 42 font.
DETAILS :
When a Typoe 42 font has Encoding entries of the integer type,
the old code crashed with GPF.
1. Check Encoding entry type and return invalidfont on error (gxfcopy.c, hunk 1).
2. Propagate return codes (gdevpdtb.c, gdevpdtt.c).
3. When creating a complete copy of a Type 42 font, ignore pending Encoding entries
since 033-52-5873.pdf and 159.pdf include some (gxfcopy.c).
(This supposes that the document doesn't refer them. If it does,
another error will happen when creating the font subset.)
This is a partial fix for the bug 688370
"pdfwrite segfault with TT font cmap warnings post is incomplete".

pdfwrite : Generate document Metadata.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
Adobe Distiller 5 generates metadata according to Adobe XMP speification
iff the distiller parameter ParseDSCCommentsForDocInfo or PreserveEPSInfo is true.
Old versions of Ghostscript does not do that.
New versions of Ghostscript do when CompatibilityLevel >= 1.4 (default).
Generated PDF documents become longer in about 1.5 kilobytes.
See the documentation change about new command line options and distiller parameters.

It's a part of the PDF/A project.
This is an initial commit for the subject.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Provide Resources dictionary for Type 3 fonts.
DETAILS :
Bug 688357 - epstopdf does not include /Resources in Type3 fonts
The PDF specification defines Resources dictionary of a Type 3 font
to be "optional but strongly recommended".
Linux Acrobat Reader Version 7.0.1 07/27/2005 appears not handling the "optional" case.
Now we provide explicit Resources sinse that reader version is widely distributed.
The Resources dictionary of a Type 3 font is a PDF 1.2 feature.
To provide a compatibility to PDF 1.1,
the old code implemented a special mechanizm for transmitting resources of
a Type 3 font to pages, which use the font.
This patch disables that mechanizm when CompatibilityLevel >= 1.2 in gdevpdte.c .
Instead that it creates Resources of a Type 3 font as a cos_dict_t instance
in gdevpdtf.h, gdevpdtt.c, and writes it out when the font is being written
in gdevpdtw.c .
gdevpdti.c now installs Resources dictionary of a Type 3 font
to accumulate resources of its charproc streams.
Note that the name substream_Resources does not longer reflects
its semantics perfectly : for a charproc stream it is Resources of
the font, rather than Resources of the charproc stream
(the pdf spec doesn't define the latter).
Keeping the old name to simplify the patch.
In the old mechanizm we replace used_resources and relatives with Resources,
because those two things are similar. The goal is to simplify data structures and logics.
For doing so we implement new functions cos_dict_forall, process_resources1, process_resources2.
This appears some less effective due to searches in process_resources1, process_resources2,
but we consider the performance low important because PDF 1.1 isn't highly useful in the modern world.
Also removed the related accessor pdf_register_charproc_resource.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Make sure procedure target of an Encode filter gets called with the end
of data condition, i.e., 'false' condition. Bug 688326.
DETAILS:
When a procedure is a data target, it is signalled that it has been closed by
one final callback with a possibly empty string containing any final buffered
data, and the boolean false.
When 'last' was true if the count was 0, the previous code would not return
CALLC status which is needed to call the procedure with the 'false' status.
If ss->eof is already true, then the call has already been done.
This condition is not checked in any of the Genoa test suites.

bad XREF.
DETAILS:
The test file contains xref table entries that have locations beyond the
end of the file. When the xref table entries were being verified, this
would cause an attempt to seek beyond the end of the file. This closed
the file. The attempt to rebuild the xref table then crashed.
The fix consists of adding a check for xref entry locations being within
the file.

Final updates to Change logs and History prior to 8.53 release.
This is the fourth stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
It contains a few bug fixes and improvements since 8.52, particularly in
the fix for a build problem on AMD64/Windows64 and vastly improved
transparency rendering speed for some PDF's.
The following bugs were
open at the time of this release:
Fixes broken compile on amd64 platforms (see bug #688047 for details).
This patch should be safe on all platforms with 32-bit longs, and is
my best guess as to the right thing to do on Tru64 (where long is 64
bits).

This improves the patch
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-September/005717.html

We did it after Raph's request in Comment #5 of the bug 688167.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Indexed colors were distorsed with encryption.
DETAILS :
Bug 688313 "pdfwrite : image colors depend on encryption".
The old code applied encryption with a wrong (zero) object id to
the palette of the indexed color space. After a viewer decrypts
the palette with a right object id, colors appear wrong.
1. Use the PS string encoding instead the hexadecimal string encoding
while converting the palette to PDF format (gdevpdfc.c).
It provides a correct work of the part 3 below.
See also part 4 below.
2. Don't apply encryption when adding the palette
to cos object (gdevpdfc.c, devs.mak).
The old code was hacky, and new one is based on a general convention.
3. Apply encryption with a right object id
to the string which represents the palette
when writing the cos object to the output PDF file.
This is an implicit consequence of
using the PS string encoding in the part 1
due to a general convention about
applying encryption when writing cos objects to the output file.
4. Disable writing hexadecimal strings because their
encryption is not yet implemented (gdevpdfu.c).
The generated PDF may become longer in 1-2 kilobytes per palette
due to PS encoding is less effective for palettes.
This could be optimized with implelenting an encryption method
for hexadecimal encoded strings in pdf_put_encoded_hex_string,
and undo the part 1. The method should apply 3 filters :
hexadecimal string decode, arc4 encode, hexadecimal string encode,
because cos object stores strings in the outer format.
Delaying this optimization for better times.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (pdfwrite) : Propagate error codes from pdf_write_value.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug

Fix : Don't instantiate pattern when rendering to null device.
DETAILS :
Bug 688308 "Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: .type1execchar".
The test case executes cshow or kshow with intrevene changing
the current color space, causing a color load callout from fill_with_rule
_after_ the callout completes. After that the check
ctile->depth == dev->color_info.depth in gx_pattern_cache_lookup fails
(not sure why - probably due to gsave-grestore in the pattern procedure).
This patch skips entire character drawing when the device is null,
so that those cumbersome stuff isn't envolved.

Bug 688226 "The garbager must check a pointer stability.".
This patch extends the object header with a space order number field,
and compares the origin and the destination order numbers for each pointer
while validating the heap. The enhanced object header is still
within 16 bytes with the 32-bits architecture. See ialloc_validate_pointer_stability
about the order number definition.
This patch detected so many problems while running any document,

Fix (pdfwrite) : Skip a clip path, which is set by setcachedevice (continued after July 28 205).
DETAILS :
Bug 687678 "pdfwrite : A Type 3 character cut-off".
Bug 688327 "incorrect masking fill in pdfwrite".
The old patch for this problem appears to define a too weak
condition for recognizing a clipping set by setcachedevice, sectachedevice2.
Now we think that a special stuff for this condition isn't needed because
the condition may be united with the contition for "setcharwidth" :
both things need to skip the clipping path, which was set exactly by
setcachedevice, sectachedevice2 or setcharwidth.
Checking the rectangle coordinates is not relevant.
Therefore the change consists of 2 parts :
1. Unwinding the patch http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-July/005625.html (IM1358)
(see also http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-July/005626.html).
2. Remowing the (control == TEXT_SET_CHAR_WIDTH) check from pdf_text_set_cache,
so that the "caching" clipping path will be skipped in any case.
Will add Bug688327.ps to comparefiles.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (PS interpreter) : Allocate gs_screen_enum in same space as its components.
DETAILS :
Bug 688330 "A dangling pointer in gx_screen_enum.".
The old code allocates gs_screen_enum in current memory space and frees to
the memory space of its components, which is obtained from
the 'setscreen' operand (the spot function).
In the test case the first memory space is local, and the second one is global.
We guess the last statement became true after a recent change to the PDF interpreter.
This patch allocates gs_screen_enum in same space as its components.
The pritotype of zscreen_enum_init has been changed due to no method for
obtaining a space attribute value for iref from a gs_memory_t instance
(well, generally it is impossible, but one could solve if the memory
allocator is a PS interpreter's allocator except stable ones).
We noticed that components of gs_screen_enum have pointers to memory
allocator structures, but don't list them in the related memory descriptors.
We're not sure whether a memory allocator structure may relocate or not -
our investigation through code didn't give an unique answer.
For now we leave component descriptors as they were before the patch.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Optimizing the transparency compositor.
DETAILS :
Bug 688255 "ai7 pdf fails on 7.03, runs for ten + minutes on 8.51".
The old code always allocates a transparency buffers for entire band.
The new code accounts group bbox to minimize buffers.
Due to that buffers appear empty for many of bands.
The time consumption for the test case of the bug 688255 is dropped in about 100 times
(from 8000 seconds to 71 seconds on a 3.07GHz machine, measured with debug build).
1. The transparency bbox computes in pdf14_begin_transparency_group from
the group bbox and the CTM (gdevp14.c).
2. Handle an empty buffer pdf14_buf_new, pdf14_pop_transparency_group (gdevp14.c).
3. Fixed a bug in the rectangle clipping in
pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle, pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle_ko_simple.
The old code didn't sense it because bbox always covered entire band (gdevp14.c).
4. Write the bbox to clist in c_pdf14trans_write and read it in c_pdf14trans_read.
5. The pdf14 compositor needs CTM to transform the group bbox to the device space.
Forced the writing of CTM to clist before writing the compositor in clist_create_compositor.
(Sorry, it appears some ugly due to pcte->type->procs.write creates a body
of a command, but we need to create a set of two commands;
Another minor optimization - a narrowing the set of bands - is delayed,
see comments in code in clist_create_compositor) (gxclimag.c).
6. New functions cmd_write_ctm_return_length, cmd_write_ctm are factored out for (5)
(gxclpath.c, gxclpath.h). This part of the change is algorithmically eqiuivalent.
7. Minor change : fixed coding style of "} else {" in gdevp14.c .

Two changes needed to fix a single bug. First, the GC 'limit' logic was
collecting too frequently. Second, the PDF ICCBased colorspace logic was
repeatedly creating a ReusableStreamDecode filter for the DataSource
element. Fixes bug #687117 for customer #850.`
DETAILS:
The 'limit' value used to trigger a GC process was sometimes set to a
number smaller than the 'inheritied' value. This resulted in a GC scan
on every interpreter loop past the gc_signal check.
Even with this fixed, the file ran slower than the -dNOGC case because
the PDF interpreter 'csset' logic would set the ICCBased colorspace that
would create a new ReusableStreamDecode filter from the DataSource on
every 'Do' of the many images used to paint the logo (line by line).
The reusablestreamdecode logic would allocate a 64000 byte string (only
3144 bytes of which were actually retained) so after about 8 images the
allocations would exceed the limit and another GC would run (freeing up
the space used by those 8 large strings and 7 of the small ones along
with miscellaneous stuff).
The fix for the second issue was to check if the ICCBased colorspace
had already been 'resolved' (was a dicttype instead of a procedure that
was an indirect reference). Since the initial processing of the ICCBased
colorspace created a ReusableStreamDecode filter for the DataSource we
are able to skip all of this preparation logic.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Improve DCT compression quality with a hewristic choice of DCT encoding parameters (continued 2).
DETAILS :
The first patch for the subject defined an incorrect condition for matrix diagonal domination.
In same time, the regression test tool detected differences on Linux, which are not appeared
while testing on Windows. We found out that Windows and Linux builds apply
different DCT encode parameters.
We guess that the reason is that the patched code accesses
the [2][3]th element of a [4][3] array. Such element doesn't exist theoretically,
so the effect may be compiler dependent (rather we're wonder what exactly does it access on Linux,
because [2][3] is still inside the array memory area).
So now we fix the incorrect condition and then will check regressions again.

None with Windows/MSVC2005.

DETAILS:
This is another example of a file with a singular CTM while processing
text. There already was some logic in pdf_ops.ps for handling this
sort of situation. However it did not properly handle this case. The
fix consists of extending the logic for handling singular CTMs.

Fix (pdfwrite) : High level pattern handling was incomplete.
DETAILS :
Bug 688307 (the bug title is misleading).
gdev_pdf_fill_mas must not call gx_default_fill_mask with a pattern color,
which is dummy due to high level pattern handling.
Actually it's a missed code branch since high level pattern were implemented.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

Change reporting of some noisy (irritating) Warnings generated from many
PDF files that don't strictly follow the spec. Bug 688229.
DETAILS:
The "fonts with Subtype = /TrueType" and "Embedded font uses undefined proc"
messages could occur MANY times in PDF files. I'm sure users will get the
point as well with this approach that only gives the warnings once at the
end of processing, with the list of offensive printed once. Particularly
for the TrueType font issue it might make it easier to figure out which
fonts are missing (and thus substituted) since each font is only listed
once and the list is sorted (which will collect font families together).
EXPTECTED DIFFERENCES.
None (execpt the gs-stderr log will now be shorter).

Fix handling of TrueType fonts with zero length name tables. Bug 688305
for customer 870.
DETAILS:
This worked with a very old gs_ttf.ps, but since we didn't have any such
files in our regression suite, whatever caused the regression is unknown.
Detecting zero length name tables and returning false is straightforward.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES.
None (ran existing regression suite).

Fix handling of EOD sequences when decoding CCITT data with EndOfBlock
false. Bug 688306 for customer 780.
DETAILS:
Although the PLRM implies that the CCITT EOD sequence(s) will not be present
when EndOfBlock is false (the default is 'true'), Adobe Acrobat will create
PostScript with EOD sequences after the CCITT even when EndOfBlock is false.
There was a comment in the CCITT decoder about this, but once 'rows_left'
went to zero, any EOD sequence was not consumed by the CCITTFaxDecode filter.
The fix checks for and consumes any trailing EOD sequence even when the
EndOfBlock parameter is false. IMHO, this is a really sloppy behaviour
by Adobe Acrobat since they seem to just copy the CCITT data from the input
PDF, but explicitly put EndOfBlock false even though the PDF did not have
the parameter to the filter (defaulting to EndOfBlock true).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
None. Regression test OK.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Improve DCT compression quality with a hewristic choice of DCT encoding parameters.
DETAILS :
Bug 687174 "(pdfwrite) DCT compression quality problem".
It implements Raph's suggestion about choosing DCT parameters for 3-component images
depending on the image color space.
If color space looks like RGB, set ColorTransform to 1.
If color space looks like Lab, set ColorTransform to 0.
Otherwise set /HSamples [1 1 1 1] /VSamples [1 1 1 1].
See a motivation in the bug 687174.
See comments in code about details of the hewristic.
Minor change : pdf_setup_masked_image_converter called a memory allocator with
a wrong client name.

Fix handling of paths so that 'cm' will affect pending path operations (fill
stroke or clip). Verified that with this patch we do as Acrobat Reader from
4 through 7 does. Bug 688299 for customer 870.
DETAILS:
The basics of using 'upath', then 'uappend' to capture, then replay the
path after the 'concat' done by 'cm' is straightforward, but since the path
may not be used, there may be coordinates that are WAY out-of-range after
an arbitrary 'cm' so we execute the 'uappend' inside a 'stopped' context.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
None. I did a check of all PDF's in the regression suite -- none had
any differences.

with a new command line option PDFX, and a new pdfwrite device paramewter with same name.
1. A documentation change, which explains the new feature.
2. A Postscript code change : the DeviceRGB color space substitution, a special handling of /PS pdfmark.
3. A new sample file gs/lib/PDFX_def.ps with default PDF/X-3 definitions.

Fix (pdfwrite) : /BP pdfmark could create dead PDF objects.
DETAILS :
Bug 687560 "Invalid PDF if /BP pdfmarks with non-unique /_objdef".
This change relates to pdfmark BP, EP, SP and PS.
1. Delay the object ID assignation untill the stream accumulation is completed.
2. Drop redundant equal objects, substituting references to an old one
(Equal BP...EP objects appear when BP...EP portion is executed with _same_ graphic state).
3. Delay the storing in the named resource dictionary untill the stream accumulation is completed
and redundant object is substituted.
4. gx_device_pdf::objname stores the last name for (3).
It is being saved and restored in the substream stack.
5. The memory descriptor of gx_devoce_pdf is enhanced with objname,
which is a pointer to string.
6. gsstruct.h adds another memory descriptor macro for (4).
7. Forward references mentioned in the bug 687560 are not supported and cause "undefined".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (garbager) : Provide a method for relocating a parameter string and use it in the pdfwrite device (continued).
DETAILS :
The last patch for the subject appears incomplete.
This one adds macros for parameter strings for pointer enumeration.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (garbager) : Provide a method for relocating a parameter string and use it in the pdfwrite device.
DETAILS :
We occasionally detected that gdev_pdf_put_params wrongly handled the OPDFReadProcsetPath parameter :
the old code modifies the next field after gx_device_pdf::OPDFReadProcsetPath.
It happens because c_param_write assumes the parameter type is gs_param_string
(and doesn't check it neither at the compile time, nor at runtime),
but the actual field type is gs_string, which is smaller in 4 bytes.
When we fix the type of gx_device_pdf::OPDFReadProcsetPath,
a problem appears in the garbager descriptor : a warning about a type cast appears.
Analyzing it so far we found that in this case the garbager may relocate "persistent" parameter string,
which is not allocated in the heap.
For fixing the latter we define a new garbager method igc_reloc_param_string
and few accessors to it, and use them in the gx_device_pdf memory descriptor.
We choose this way because we know that other devices need same method for separation names.
This patch consists of 2 parts :
1. The enhancement for the garbager, which also moves the definition of gs_param_string
to the scope visible the garbager. This part modifies the files igc.c, igcstr.c, gsparam.h,
gsstruct.h, gstypes.h, igcstr.h
2. The improvement for the pdfwrite device, which modifies other files :
gdevpdfb.h, gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfu.c .
Other devices may need a revision.

Type 1 hinter : Improve the criterion for stem recognition.
DETAILS :
Bug 687727 "Type 1 hinter : A horizontal line condition maybe too strong".
Patch from Igor Melichev.
1. Many fonts, including URW TimesRoman, needs to apply alignemnt zones
to upper or lower corners of a glyph. An example is '1' in TimesRoman.
This patch detect upper and lower corners as local extremes by Y,
and pass them to t1_hinter__find_zone.
2. After the change (1) we detected, that the document comparefiles/LD.pdf
renders much worse. Analyzing it so far, we detected that the top of the left vertical arm
of 'm' applies same hint as horizontal arc stems. To avoid this,
this patch computes a "stem boundary quality", which is the tangent of the stem boundary,
and use it as a priority for choosing a pole for stem alignment
(the lower tangent, the higher priority).
After the change (2) we detected that most Genoa test render differently.
The reason appears that the old code erroneusely aligned a diagonal pole
of the character 'm', which is placed between the right vertical arm and
the nearest upper arc stem. This patch fixes that due to other (right) poles
get a better priority, but to our apologies this progression causes
numerous differences in rasters.

Fix for 688275 Overprint problems in Display driver - Gs 8.50 and Gs 8.51.
DETAILS:
The cause of the problem was that gx_default_get_bits_rectangle did not
properly handle a situation in which GX_RETURN_POINTER was not specified
for a get_bits operation. The overprint logic is one of the few situations
in which this option is not specified. The display device is one of the
few situations that uses the default get_bits logic. This is the second
problem that has been found in this combination.

Following Russell Lang's suggestion, the zpeekstring function appeared to

the check for requested len > bsize had priority, and when the file was

Fix (pdfwrite) : Handling transparency as a high level objects, part 4.
DETAILS :
This is a continuation of the fix the bug 687168
"(pdfwrite) Transparency as a high level object"
This patch debugs soft mask groups.
1. The pdf14 device appears to use soft mask Background converted into DeviceGray.
We believe it is incorrect, but we don't want to fix it now.
To provide the correct data for high level devices we added a new field
GrayBackground, which keeps the Background color converted into DeviceGray.
Background now keeps the original Background, specified in the blend color space.
2. Do not use gsave-grestore when creating a soft mask with .begintransparencygroup,
because high level devices need to modify the graphic state with storing the sift mask ID.
The new code uses currentcolorspace-setcolorspace instead gsave-grestore.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

This patch provides an accumulation of a transparency mask group as a PDF command stream,
a creation of SMask dictionaries and a synchronization of the graphic state with them.
The graphic state synchronization is incomplete due to
insufficient data supplied by the graphics library

A high level device needs to know whether a transparency mask is
a group or an image. To provide this data we split the operator

Fix (pdfwrite) : Handling transparency as a high level objects.
DETAILS :
This is an initial commit for the high level handler to pdfwrite.
It fixes the bug 687168
"(pdfwrite) Transparency as a high level object"
It defines a new distiller parameter HaveTransparency.
When it is false (default), the behavior is equivalent to the old one -
the transparency is being converted into a plane image.
The value true only works with CompatibilityLevel>=1.4 .
In this case transparency is being written to output as high level objects.
The writtemn objects are not necesserily repear the structure of the
input document, because the PDF interpreter performs some simplifications,
which can't be recovered by the pdfwrite device.
The main conversion happens in gdevpdft.c . See comments in there.
Two new resource types are being added - resourceSoftMaskDict,
resourceGroup. Doing so to allow a further optimization
with merging duplicated objects of such types.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (PDF interpreter) : Provide a bbox for .begintransparencygroup (issue 2).
DETAILS :
This is the second attempt of the second preparation for fixing the bug 687168

The last patch about the bbox appear incorrect due to
the device transparency handler receives the image bbox data
when CTM is concatenated with the image matrix.

image bbox is changed from 0 0 0 0 to 0 0 1 1,
which is the right rectangle in the image coordinates.

This change is algorithmically equivalent.
The member has_Background is now replaced with Background_components,

It is visible for devices when the create_compositor method

Partial support for a compressed %rom% iodevice. It is enabled by
adding romfs.dev to FEATURE_DEVS in the top-level Makefile.
This also includes a C commandline-utility 'mkromfs' that takes
a directory and creates a compressed image of it as a file. Currently
the %rom% iodevice in gsiorom.c reads this directly.
The compressed image is a list of paths with offset pointers,
each offset pointing to the beginning of a series of zlib-
compressed blocks comprising the file. This gets us pretty
good (typically 50% or better) compression of the support
files while still allowing relatively fast seek and random
access.
TODO:
1. Have mkromfs trace through the include directives in lib/
so that only those postscript files required by Ghostscript are
included, the same as geninit does now. Resources/ and fonts/
can still be included as-is.
2. Have mkromfs (or a separate tool) general a C file (or sequence
of them, so the data can be compiled directly into the Ghostscript
executable. And of course modify gsiorom.c to pull its data from
there instead of a literal file.
3. Integrate mkromfs into the build system and replace the existing
geninit code. Setting COMPILE_INITS=1 in the top-level Makefile
should automatically construct and compile in the compressed image
and enable the romfs FEATURE_DEV
4. Switch to a b-tree for the block pointer index, so that file
access remains fast if someone dumps in a huge number of Resources
or fonts. Right now it does a linear search, which is fast enough
for the current complement but will cause a problem as some point.

Fix (the device interface) : High level devices need an access to a transparency transfer function object.
DETAILS :
It adds "gs_function_t *transfer_function" to gs_pdf14trans_params_s and
enhances a garbager descriptor st_pdf14trans.
We think that such pointer is alvays have a correct stability,
because the transparency only comes from the PDF interpreter,
which doesn't create graphic states in the global memory.

Fix (Type 1 hinter) : Allow degenerate CTM by a rendering with no hinting.
DETAILS :
This is a fix for a part of the bug 688065
"incorrect handling of type 1 fonts at 0 0 scale",
which relates to "1 0 scale".
The case "0 0 scale" was fixed earlier.
With degenerate CTM the old code fails with 'rangecheck'
due to the hinter logics needs an inverse CTM.
However some documents set "1 0 scale" to compute text width.
The new code does render a text with degenerate CTM with no hinting.
We could implement an optimized algorithm for this with
a simple rendering of a line which is a projection of the glyph,
but we have no engineering resources for this optimization.
We believe that such optimisation isn't much useful.

Fix: /SP pdfmark must synchronize the clipping path.
DETAILS :
Bug 687558 "Wrong clipping path with /SP pdfmark".
This patch consists of 2 parts :
1. A hack for synchronizing the clipping path in 'pdfmark'.
We need to use a hack, because the implementation of 'pdfmark'
is based on the device method put_params, and
there is no regular way to pass the imager state or the clipping path through it.
The hack paints something outside the device bbox,
so that the painting doesn't appear in the output.
2. An improvement to the pdfwrite device,
which skips a stroking, if it appears entirely outside the clipping box.
That improvement appears some imperfect due to a compatibility
to the hack (1) - see comment in code. The imperfection is
the synchronization of a clipping path when a document strokes outside
the clipping box. We believe that such cases are rare,
so the imperfection isn't important.
A progression appears while a charproc accumulation :
the old code accumulated strokes outside the bounding box
set by 'setcachedevice', but the new one does not.
The new one appears compatible to Adobe Distiller 5.

The filling algorithm : optimize paths with many subpaths.
DETAILS :
Bug 686996 "Orientation has massive effect on render time".
It fills a path consisting of 4440 subpaths,
each of which is a quasi-rectangle
(or a rectangle with a fixed_fraction noise).
If a path has over 50 subpaths,
we try to merge subpaths by common vertical lines.
This works around a poor 3d party software,
which generates a path as a huge number of contacting rectangles.
An additional complexity happens due to the sample document defines multiple
quasi-colinear lines instead colinear ones. An example : {{362254, 42905},
{362253, 204152}} and {{362253, 42881},{362253, 204152}}.
We believe that with a huge number of contours the precision of the rendering
doesn't need to be so strong as with a small number.
Therefore we replace quasi-colinear lines with colinear ones.
Another smart point is which pairs of lines to be checked for colinearity.
Obviousely checking all pairs would be too slow. Probably we can assume that the
Postscript writer orders rectangles by the trasversal direction, so
colinear pairs appear in the path within a small window, which roughly is the
number of spot holes multiplied by 4. (Well, one can construct a worse path,
but unlikely it is practical). This patch hardcodes few arbitrary
constants, which may need further improvements.
See commnmets in code for more details.

PDF interpreter now processes ToUnicode CMaps when the target device is pdfwrite.
DETAILS :
Bug 685335 "PDF interpreter doesn't process ToUnicode".
The PDF interpreter now converts ToUnicode CMaps into FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode,
which PS interpreter passes to high level devices,
and the pdfwrite device converts it again into ToUnicode.
Therefore re-distilling a PDF file with GS|pdfwrite
preserves the searchability. Before now it was lost.
Currently this stuff works only when the output device is pdfwrite.
Doing so to save the processor time with raster devices.
In future the condition in .processToUnicode may need an enhancement.
We found that some documents define ToUnicode incorrectly.
For now we skip cases, in which ToUnicode is defined to a name,
because the PDF specification requires it to be a stream.

Fix : Unconforming line join.
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 688126 "Wrong line join".
1. The old code applied a bewel join while flattening a curve.
Such behavior appears incompatible to Adobe CPSI 3010.105.
Language.htm said that it was done with .setcurvejoin
for a compatibility to Adobe implementations.
We believe that modern Adobe implementations are not such,
and therefore we change the default value of .setcurvejoin to -1,
which actually disables a curve join by default.
The documentation is being updated accordingly.
2. Since round join always paints a full circle (see comment in add_round_cap),
and since such circle doesn't appear when CPSI paints a flattened curve,
we conclude that round join isn't applied to flattened curves.
Therefore we change the condition in gxstroke.c
to replace round join with bevel join for flattened curves.
Note that PDF 1.5 requires to paint a "pieslice-shaped figure",
rather than PDF 1.4 and PLRM3 does a round.
Thus, GS code appears some obsolete, and we'll open a
separate bug 688269 about that.

DETAILS:
The 'put_param' routines for the routines which implement the handling of
the SeparationOrder, SeparationColorNames, and the MaxSeparation device
parameterswere always resetting the number of device components
(num_components in the color_info structure) when they were called. This
can cause problems with the PDF 1.4 transparency since the transparency
processing can have its own process color model. The fix involves only
changing the number of device components when one of the three device
parameters changes value. This should only occur at the start of a page.

a page.

This is the fourth partial fix for the bug 688169 "ps2write : text dissappears".
It relates to Comment #6 of the bug 688169.
Some elements of Widths array could be missing if the encoding defines
several codes for samne character, and only the first code is used.
The old code scanned Encoding and put a Metrics dictionary element
for each element of Encoding. However Encoding could contain dummy
elements witrh the value 0, and the value 0 replaced an useful value defined earlier.
This fix assumes that ps2write renames glyphs if they have several occurances in Encoding,
and more than one occurance is used. Under this assumption,
if only one occurance is used, other accurances will get the value 0
(using exactly 0 in this case is another ps2write feature being assumed here).
So is Metrics already has a non-zero value, it shouldn't be replaced with zero,
and the logic is pretty simple : don't replace non-zero values.
This patch causes ps2write progressions :

This is a partial change for the problem.
It fixes exactly the case that happened in the bug report.
However there is another harmful case, which we want to fix separately
due to it requires a big change. The case is

Fix (pdfwrite, ps2write) : Synthesized bitmap fonts had zero character width in charprocs.
DETAILS :
1. The Wx operand of d1 always got the zero value
when a font is being converted into a bitmap font.
2. The Width array was wrongly computed
when a font is being converted into a bitmap font.
3. Computing Metrics, Widths values to be scaled with the FontMatrix,
to account an unusuial FontMatrix of Type 1 fonts,
which were created by 3d parties from TrueTypes.
4. Metrics was not set to a font due to a bad stack balance.

Fix undefined in -get- caused by previous (1.38) patch that ignored zero
length tables in TT font. Previous fix for 687457. Bug 688220 for customer
580.
DETAILS:
Some tables, such as 'glyf' are required by the ttf code even if they are
zero length. The 687457 bug omitted these tables since their position is
arbitrary, but they could cause false 'overlap' conditions, potentially
truncating a non-zero length table to zero length. The simplest solution
is to place all zero length tables at offset 0 (the offset is arbitrary
for zero length tables).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
Regression testing showed no problems. The file for 687457 is now added
to the regression suite as will a test file with a zero length 'glyf'.

Fix handling of Some Type1C (CFF) font subsets where the tables may not
be completely contiguous. Seen with PDFs created by pdflib. Bug 688216
and 688040 for customer 562.
DETAILS:
The example subset CFF had the "Private" data about 30,000 bytes after
the end of the previous (CharStrings) data. While we try to process the
CFF file sequentially, there is no reason we cannot skip bytes. If we
encounter a CFF where positioning (backwards) is required, we will have
to further change the code to set us a "ResuableStreamDecode" file so
we can replace the "pos sub nextstring pop" with "f fileposition" which
will work forwards or backwards.
A CFF that requires this will get an error when loading the font from the
-string- operator (rangecheck). Since we have not seen one yet, we will
wait until this surfaces.

Remove the arbitrary limit of 256 max_colors from the dci_ macros. This is

DETAILS:
Note that the default smoothness is set to 0.02 in lib/gs_ll3.ps and unless
this is set smaller with the setsmoothness operator (or the PDF 'SM' op),
the max_error used in src/gxshade.c may still be too large to see REALLY
smooth gradients. The next part of the changes is to modify the setting
of max_error when the device has > 256 levels.

Add a 48 bit RGB PNG raster device for testing deep color output code
paths. The new device is called 'png48'. Note that this is a different

different output formats. Related to bug 688204.
Fix for 688209 Incorrect equiv color for 'Dark Blue' in test file.
DETAILS:
The problem was caused by an error in evaluting a sampled function with
32 bits per component. The maximum value for a sample was calculated
as being (1 << bps) - 1. This calculation has a problem on x86 CPUs
when bps is 32. No shifting is done and the result ends up being 0
instead of 0xffffffff.
The fix involves checking for bps being equal to (or greater than)
the size of an uint. If so then the max_uint value is used instead.

Fix (ps2write) : Embed standard fonts, which use extention glyphs due to encoding conflicts.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for the bug 688169 "ps2write : text dissappears",
which is related to the problem with ADOBE1-4.pdf .
When Widths array defines several widths for same glyph,
the PDF interpreter duplicates glyphs inserting extended glyph names.
However if the font name is standard, the font was not embedded and the
extended glyph names were missed. This patch forces embedding
the fonts what have extended glyph names.
This problem doesn't happen with pdfwrite, because it collapses
extended glyph names back to original ones.
Note that there exists a case, in which a font has extended glyphs but
they are not used in the document. In this case the font embedding is not necesary,
but ps2write does embed it. This happens because the current architecture
does not allow to detect such case, because the decision about a font embedding
is being made before a text is processed. Dalaying it until the end of the text would
need to delay object ID assignation for the font descriptor and for the font file.
This change would be too deep, so we don't do it now.
If an user strongly needs to minimise the output when
a standard font uses extended glyph name,
we recommend to perform a 2-pass distillation :
the first pass computes exact font subsets,
and the second pass won't receive unused glyphs.
We believe that such need is pretty rare.

Fix (TT grid fitting) : A missed glyph needs cached_fm_pair_s.
DETAILS :
Bug 688164 "segfault after warning for missing required cmap in embedded TT font; pdf".
The embedded TT font missed a glyph, so that a "notdef" (glyph_index = 0)
to be used instead. However when performing a grid fitting,
an cached_fm_pair_s is used to pass an access to the font.
The problem happens due to "notdef" forced no glyph caching
and therefore cached_fm_pair_s was not created.

Cast color components to type gx_color_index before shifting when
composing a chunked index color in gx_default_rgb_map_rgb_color().
Partial fix for bug 688204.
DETAILS:
Without the explicit casts, color components were only promoted to
the default int type before the shifts were applied. On 32 bit machines
this means that 16 bpc output generated nonsense, shifting the high
channel entirely out of the word, and only promoting to a 64 bit type
on assignment. With the explicit casts, the promotion to a 64 bit type
(assuming a 64 bit gx_color_index) happens first so that the shift logic
is correct for deep devices.
With this change the "24 bit RGB" default mapping works for 48 bit
color as well as for other spaces in-between. 24 bits remains special
cased; rough benchmarking showed no significant advantage to special
casing 48 bits as well.

Since the nmake file uses a single value 8 of the variable MSVC_VERSION

Beta 1 is now obsolete, so users must either upgrade for Beta 2

Fix for 687989 PDF to any format raises /invalidfont in /R21. The test
file was created by an imposition program.
DETAILS:
The given file (the one with the four pages imposed together) has:
1. A Page dict with form Xobjects and the /R21 font is not in the
Resources/Font dict.
2. The Pg3 form XObject has the /R21 font in the Resources/Font dict.
3. /R19 is a Type3 font. There is not a Resources entry in the dict. This
font uses both the /R13 ExtGState and the /R21 font.
To find the /R13 and the /R21 resources, Ghostscript is first looking in
the /R19 font. Since it is not present (no Resources in /R19), Ghostscript
then searches the Page dict. Once again the resources are not found and then
the InvalidFont error is generated. (Ghostcript is silent about the missing
ExtGState /R13.)
From page 391 of the PDF REference, version 1.6 on the entries in the dict for
a Type3 font:
"Resources dictionary (Optional but strongly recommended; PDF 1.2) A list of
the named resources, such as fonts and images, required by the glyph
descriptions in this font (see Section 3.7.2, "Resource Dictionaries"). If any
glyph descriptions refer to named resources but this dictionary is absent, the
names are looked up in the resource dictionary of the page on which the font
is used. (See implementation note 64 in Appendix H.)"
This implies that Ghostscript is following the correct path for finding the
resources /R13 and /R21. (However one can make a case for a 'liberal'
interpretation of the spec. that implies that the form XObject resources
should also be checked.)
This fix checks the current resources when the Resources dictionary is not
present in a type 3 font.
I do not know why Acrobat 6.0 Pro does not find /R13 but does find /R21. If
Acrobat is not checking the Resources for the Pg3 form XObject then it should
find neither. If it is checking Pg3 Resources then both should be found.

Fix : A global restore was applied at save level 1.

Bug 688161 "A dangling pointer with pkmraw -r72 -Z?$@ -c false 0 startjob pop -f - <113-01.ps".
The last patch appears incorrect. This one fixes that.
Bug 688157 happened because
tpc2.ps failed with 'invalidrestore' because
the global restore was applied at the level 1.
This happened because the last but one patch
appears incomplete - after that change the check for 'global'
in alloc_is_since_save become incorrect.
It assumed that mem->saved == save && mem->saved->save_level == 1 implies
save->state.save_level == 0. But with the last but one patch not it doesn't.
Bug 688161 happened due to same check, because alloc_is_since_save
is also used in restore_fix_stack to fix string and file objects,
which exist on stack and which would become invalidated due
to the restore. 'zrestore' do not check such objects on estack
(restore_check_stack is called with 'false'). Such objects appear when
'startjob' is called from a command argument (and establishes
a save level 0), and later another command line argument
is executed with '.runstdin', which executes .subfiledecode
at save level 1 and keeps the filter object on estack while
.runexec works (keeping the file for .runexec2).
So running the file 113-01.ps invoked 'exitserver', which executes a 'restore',
which unwinded the file object, and caused a heap inconsistency
(because restore_check_stack is called with 'false')
due to estack keeps the unwinded file object.
This change replaces it with (as we believe) the correct and simple check :
save->state.save_level == 0 /* Restoring to save level 0 */
which restores the consistency of restore_fix_stack to restore_check_stack.

With the last patch memory problems gone avay,
but tpc2.ps failed with 'invalidrestore'.
We found that the global restore was applied at the level 1 -
a guess as a rudiment of code before NOOUTERSAVE is code.
When tpc2.ps issued a restore, with neither startjob nor NOOUTERSAVE
it appears at level 1 (due to gs_init.ps executes 'save')
but at that moment dstack contains some dictionaries,
created by the document. Those dictionaries cause 'invalidrestore',
because they are created after the 'save' issued by gs_init.ps .
At first time we wonderewd why this problem doesn't happen with
other documents. The answer is : they don't keep dicts
on dstack when execute the outermost 'restore'.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Reference to free object 0xaf9e40(100), in chunk 0x3eca48!
The reason is that a gs_show_enum instance was created in some 'save' level,
and when it is released the 'save' level appears a higher one and the
memory manager left it unreleased until a further 'restore' does that.
However that instance pointed to a gx_path instance with a bigger 'save' level.
So when the garbager was invoked, the gs_show_enum instance had a 'path' field
pointed to a structure, which was already released by a 'restore'.
Analyzing it so far, we found that 'save' and 'restore' may
leave an extra level on the 'save' stack. More precisely,
alloc_save_state sometimes creates an "invisible" 'save' level,
which appears on the 'save' stack, but it has no save id and
it doesn't add to the 'save' level counter. The problem happened
when 'restore' finds its 'save' stack element. In that case
alloc_find_save returns the second additional 'save' stack element,
rather than the first one created by 'save'. Therefore
a consecutive execution of 'save restore' could add
one element on the 'save' stack (without increasing the save_level counter)
and cause dangling pointers as explained above.
We believe that the bug lived in alloc_save_state.
Really, a comment in alloc_save_state reads :
/* Do a second, invisible save. */
and in same time the code makes the first 'save' to be invisible,
and moves the id from the first 'save'. Thus the code does not
comply to the comment. We believe that the comment is correct,
and the code is buggy. Therefore we change the code so
that the second (internal) 'save' to be really invisible.

The patch
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-June/005567.html
appears incomplete.
This ine fixes that.
1. gs_image_common_init must not change penum->memory since it is set by
gs_image_enum_alloc for a compatibility with gs_image_cleanup_and_free_enum.
2. gs_image_enum_init is removed from the graphics library interface
because after the change (1) it becomes potentially harmful.
We noticed that the PCL interpreter never calls it directly,
so making it be local against a potantial harm.
3. The memory argument of gs_image_common_init has been removed
because it became unuseful.
4. We notice that gs_image_common_init initializes an instance of gs_image_enum,
and gs_image_begin_typed initializes gx_image_enum_common_t.
We wonder with the assymmetry of using the word "common"
in these identifiers. It appears much confusible.
For now leave them as they are, rather we'd like to clean them up.

Partial fix for 688132 WTS crash with pdf input. Ghostscript does not
serialize a WTS halftone. (This is required for clist processing.) As a
result, an error code is being returned. The error code was not being
properly returned. We then seg faulted due to a pointer not being set in
the error case. This fix corrects the problem with returning the error
code. The problem with WTS serializaton remains.

Fix : Factor out any dependence on sizeof(gx_color_index) .
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
We factor out this dependence because we intend to change the
gx_color_index definition to an array of components.
In that case sizeof(gx_color_index) would give the size of a pointer
rather we need the size of the array.

DETAILS :
Bug 688140 "A heap corruption in imagemask".
The core of the change is in zimage.c :
! /* Always place the image enumerator into local memory,
! because pie may have local objects inherited from igs,
! which may be local when the current allocation mode is global. */
Other changes provide a correct allocator while freing the enumerator.

Fix : Interleaved images could miss Decode, step 3.
DETAILS :
Fixes the bug 688127 "CMYK image ignores Decode".
1. The sample unpacking function templates are generalized
for a case of interleaved samples with different decode maps (gxsamplp.h).
2. Generated functions for the interleaved samples
using the templates (gxsample.c).
3. Used those function in appropriate cases (gxipixel.c).
4. repack_bit_planes was called with a wrong map
(0-th instead i-th) (gxidata.c).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Some images are rendered with a different (correct) color.
The change appears to have no effect to the 'normal' rendering,
because our testbase doesn't include images with "/MultipleDataSources false"
and a non-trivial Decode. But such ones do appear after converting
few files with pdfwrite.

Fix : Interleaved images could miss Decode, step 1.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 688127 "CMYK image ignores Decode".
It changes the SAMPLE_UNPACK_PROC function prototype to provide
an access to a vector of maps in sample decoding functions.
The new argument num_components_per_plane passes the length of the vector.
The argument "const sample_lookup_t * ptab" is replaced with
"const sample_map *smap" to pass the vector.
With this patch only the 0th component of the passed vector is being used
in order to provide the equivalense to the old code.
Dropping this feature will be a next step.

3. Provided a customization of the procset to be written with ps2write

Fix for 688116 DeviceN spot colours are corrupt in display device.
DETAILS:
The overprint device is one of the few devices that uses the GB_RETURN_COPY
option to the get_bits procedures without also using the GB_RETURN_POINTER
option. Thus the overprint device is bringing up problems in this option
combination. The fix for 687935 "rangecheck in stroke while overprinting
on the display device" brought this problem to the surface.
The problem was that an incorrect buffer pointer was being used for the
source for the data to be copied.

2005-06-07 19:24 Ray Johnston
Fix for the BeginPage and EndPage procedures used for N-up processing.
DETAILS:
The BeginPage called the previous BeginPage (stored in .BP) at the wrong
time, so that rotation/translation of individual pages would not work
correctly.
The EndPage incremented the .Pn value even on 'device deactivation' calls
(mode == 2) so the page count was off if the input PS did 'setpagedevice'.
This probably is not widely used since it was broken. It's a little better
now, but still needs improvement (IMHO) such as setting a 'clip' before
the indivual pages. Try running two examples/tiger.eps to see why.

ps2write : Implementinmg the ps2write device.
DETAILS :
1. The ps2write device is a clone of the pdfwrite device.
We define a new file gdevpdfb.h and move the device static data to there
as a device template (gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfb.h).
2. pdf_open_document now writes out the copy opdfread.ps and few encodings
(gdevpdfu.c).
3. Propagated a return code from pdf_open_document.
4. A new device parameter OPDFReadProcsetPath handles a list of
files to be copied in the step (2) (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfu.c, gdevpdfp.c).
5. pdf_close writes out the 0x04 character when working in the ForOPDFRead mode
and OPDFReadProcsetPath is set.
6. A number of makefiles are changed to include the ps2write device.
7. In lib\gs_pdfwr.ps added the handling of distiller parameters with ps2write device.
8. In lib\gs_pdfwr.ps added an automatic setting of the OPDFReadProcsetPath
device parameter for ps2write.
9. Added a new script ps2ps2.bat, which invokes Ghostscript with the ps2write devices.
The old script ps2write.bat still invokes the Ghostscript with the pdfwrite device
in the ForOPDFREad mode. It helps to debug ps2write with generating a PDF file
in the ForOPDFRead mode.
10. In the documentation added references to the new files lib/ps2ps2.bat, src/gdevpdfb.h .

ps2write : A named resource maintenance.
DETAILS :
Since named resources (such as psdfmarkBP) may be used on any page,
they conflich with the viewer resource management discipline,
which drops resources per page. This patch implements an exception
for that discipline.
1. (opdfread.ps) At page end don't drop resources marked with /.Global .
2. (opdfread.ps) Handlinging Form XObject.
3. Provide the /.Global mark for those resources,
which are used in a named resource. (dgevpdfj.c, gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdtw.c).
4. The flag pdf_resource_t::global marks resources,
which are used while accumulating a named resource object stream,
to provide (3) (gdevpdti.c, gdevpdfx.h).
5. gx_device_pdf::accumulating_a_global_object is added to designate the
state for (4). It is saved and restored while enterin or exiting a substream
(gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdti.c).
6. Removed 'const' from some function pritotypes to allow
pdf_add_resource to set pdf_resource_t::global (gdevpdfi.c, gdevpdfo.c, gdevpdfx.h).
7. Minor change : improved a condition for writing the /.CleanResources flag (gdevpdf.c).

Fix to allow CCITT data without EOFB when EndOfBlock is true (the default)
to return normal end-of-file (EOFC) status instead of ioerror (ERRC) as
long as the row count given by Rows is satisfied. Bug 687973.
DETAILS:
This bug was reported by a potential customer. The fix is minimal and
returns EOFC instead of ERRC if the count given by Rows has been read.
This seems to be the closest to what is implied by the Adobe description
about EndOfBlock in that the filter WILL continue to process data past
the Rows value if EndOfBlock is true (the default) as long as no error
is seen. This means that PostScript programs that depend on this action to
consume extra data will still operate correctly.

Fix for 688113 null ptr crash in gdevp14.c. With the -rXXXxYYY switch
specified and high resolution PDF 1.4 transparency files, GS would crash.
DETAILS:
The logic for deteriming band sizes was being bypassed if the -rXXXxYYY
switch was specified on the command line.
Specifying resolution on the command line was forcing the calculation of
band size. This occured before the determination that PDF 1.4 transparency
was being made. The band size was not being recalculated when the
determination was being done. The fix consists of including the
'page_uses_transparency' as part of the logic for determining when the
band size is recalculated.
Fix : 'strokepath' could generate wrongly oriented contours (continued 2)
DETAILS :
Bug 688114 "Worse frame rasterizing a distilled Bug687546.ps".
The main change is gxstroke.c ln 853 : the line width rounding
depended on the line direction. Rather the problem is old,
before the patch http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-May/005519.html

Fix (pdfwrite, ps2write) : Wrong shading coordinates when converting to PDF 1.2 .
DETAILS :
1. Do not write "W n" when cvd->has_background == true,
because we do not write a clipping path in this case.
2. When a shading is being converted into a bitmap with a downsampling,
coordinate formulas in gdev_pdf_fill_path were wrong.
The new logic is :
sx,sy := the bitmap offset;
Scale down the color and the CTM;
Scale down the path to be filled;
The pdf_lcvd_t instance performs a shift of the shading coverage path with
path_offset := {sx,sy};
A sacale up and shift back matrix is written into PDF as a 'cm' argument.
{m.tx,m.ty} is same as the bitmap offset {sx, sy};
3. gx_dc_pattern2_has_background must account whether the shading
is instantiated with a shfill. In this case Background is being ignored.
4. In R_tensor_annulus, the assignation of curve[i].straight
was wrong when the patch boundasries applied a cyclic shift
with 'inside'.
5. In patch_fill, the computation of the shading contour sign was not correct.
Rather it gave a right sign for most cases,
we replaced it with a right general formula
(assuming a non-self-overlapped patch).

determining when an input color was zero. The problem was only apparent
with a 'binary' halftone. Ie.e one in which on a single component is
being halftoned. The earlier logic would overprint all components which
were not being halftoned. The example case involved 100% black and 50%
cyan. The black component was treated like it was 0%.

Fix (pdfwrite, ps2write) : Shading background was missed in PDF1.2 .
DETAILS :
Bug 688109 "pdfwrite : shading background can erroneusly disappear".
1. A new function gx_dc_pattern2_has_background allows to know whether
a pattern color has a background.
2. If it has, when converting a shading to a bitmap, entire bitmap
is being filled, so the shading coverage is trivial,
and it doesn't need to convert into a masked image or
into a clipped image. Implemented with defining a new flag
pdf_lcvd_t::has_background .
3. Minor change : defined the identifier pdf_lcvd_s .
4. In gdevpdfb.c, applied lossles filters to an image,
if it is not big. The old code did in the
ForOPDFRead mode only. So now it works for pdfwrite.
It improves the view of patterns (including shadings),
rather the compressed iomage size is bigger.
The old code caused significant distorsions with applying DCT
to shadings (distorsions appear at patch boundaries and/or
at the shading coverage boundary).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Fix : 'setcachewdevice' must always clip characters.
DETAILS :
Bug 688096 " setcachedevice must clip characters".
'setcachedevice' establises a clipping box when rendering a glyph to a cache.
In same time, when rendering with no caching, the old code did not clip.
As a result, some glyphs were clipped, and some others were not,
depending on the glyph size.
This patch clips Type 3 and Type 10 charactrers when rendering with no cache,
and behaves as the old code with other font types.
We doing so to optimze the performance using the assumption that
"outline" (FontType != 3 && FontType != 10) fonts must not paint outside FontBBox,
which to be used for clipping in those cases.
Besides that, the patch rounds Type 3 and Type 10 charactrer
coordinates when renderingh with no cache, to provide
an uniform coordinate assignation with the cached mode.
The patch defines a new variant CACHE_DEVICE_NONE_AND_CLIP,
which is defined almost for clarity. Actually the code never
checks for this specific value.
For more details see comments in code.

Fix : 'strokepath' could generate wrongly oriented contours.
DETAILS :
Bug 688103 "The dashing direction depends on the initial device CTM determinant".
Bug 688097 "A wrong clipping with 298-01.ps"
The patch computes initial_matrix_reflected = true iff
the initial device CTM has a negative determinant.
Then it is accounted to orient stroke outlines
to a proper direction : they must form positive contours in the user space.
For doing so we properly orient dash caps
in gx_stroke_path_only_aux, and then compensate it in line_join_points.
Several local function prototype were changed to pass
the value of initial_matrix_reflected to line_join_points.
Minor change : moved some visual trace instructions to
a more general function, which is called from several places.

Partial fix for 687814 dithering artifacts. The given test file shows
some faint halftone dots in the background when rasterized using the
bmp256 device.
DETAILS:
The problem is caused by a combination of factors that aggravate the
situation plus some things in the color look up logic that cause minor
errors in the calculations.
The aggravating factors:
By default, Ghostscript uses a 16x16 halftone cell for low resolutions,
i.e. below 150 dpi. (I do not know the reasons why and it seems like a
poor choice to me. However for now, I am not changing the halftone.)
The bmp256 device utilizes a 6x6x6 RGB color cube. Thus there are 1281
levels ((16 x 16 x 5) + 1) for each halftoned colorant. This gives a step
size between each level of 0.00078. Thus even very small errors in the
calculations become visible as faint halftone dots.
The given test file is using a CalRGB color space. The WhitePoint is
[ 0.9505 1 1.089 ] which is the standard D65 white point. However with
the given CalRGB parameters and a pure white RGB input (1 1 1). the
resulting XYZ is [0.9505 0.99999 1.089] which has a very small error in
the Y value. (However the error is small enough that one would not expect
it to be visible.)
The calculations in Ghostscript's halftoning logic for determining the
halftone level truncate values. With an RGB process color model, this
means that only a pure white is not halftoned. Thus the small error
mentioned in the previous paragraph becomes visible. Note: The truncation
effects work the other way in a CMYK process color model, which is why
we do not see this problem with shades that are nearly white in CMYK
halftoned output.
The calculation errors:
To save CPU time, the color look up logic did not interpolate table
entries which were closer that 0.01. Thus output values could have an
error as large as 0.01.
The color look up logic clipped table entries to the specified output
range. This can cause errors with interpolated values when the interpolation
involves one table entry that is clipped and one entry that is not clipped.
The changes in this fix:
The calculations that determine the halftone levels was modified. Actually
it was simplified. Prior to the DeviceN changes (in revision 8.00) there
were three separate calculations for halftone levels. There was a separate
calculation for Gray, RGB, and CMYK color spaces. Revision 8.00 changed
the halftoning to be based upon the device's process color model (instead
of the color space) and merged the RGB and CMYK calculations. The two
separate calculations were kept to minimize regressions during the DeviceN
effort. This change basically keeps the logic that had been used for Gray
process color models. This version of the calculation does not have the
truncation problems that were present in the RGB/CMYK calculation. Another
simplification was removal of some logic that was checking for additive
versus subtractive process color model. Once again this logic was present
only to minimize regressions compared to pre 8.00 results. The final
result is that this calculation is much simpler, faster, and gives a better
result.
The 'do not interpolate' criteria was reduced to 0.001. Once again this
can add to the CPU time.
Changes which are not in this fix:
The clamping of look up table entries was not changed. Changing this
requires that the we would have to clamp the output after the table lookup.
The errors are small but they are large enough that problems are still
seen with the bmp256 device and a 16x16 halftone cell. There are several
different paths through this logic and thus the probability of creating
worse errors is relatively high. This change would add slightly to the
CPU time but is required to get the correct result.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
This change produces small changes in the halftone levels. The changes in
the 'do not interpolate' value affects many files which use CIE or ICC
color spaces. Between these two changes, this fix affects 165 files.

Bug 688000 "PDF writer produces misplaced characters".
When a CID font is used with 'glypshow' or with 'show' in a 'cshow' procedure,
pdfwrite creates a Type 0 font for wrapping the CID font according to the PDF standard.
Doing so, the old code created a single type 0 font for all occurances of
the CID font, rather those occurances may have different values of FontMatrix.
The new code creates so many type 0 fonts as many various values of
FontMatrix is used with the CID font.

Fix for 688048 ijs driver broken in 8.51 for ProcessColorModel=Gray versus 8.50
DETAILS:
There were a few minor problems with the gdevijs.c file.
1. The file has been corrupted with extra ^M's at the end of lines. (These
cause problems with the MSVC debugger since MSVC gets confused about which

Compiler.) This a reoccurring problem and I am getting tired of seeing it.
Unfortunately they are not visible in the diff shown below or in the MSVC
debugger.
2. The routine gsijs_read_string_malloc has some problems. The call to
gs_free has str as a parameter when it should have been *str. (str is a
pointer to a pointer.) This is the major cause of the reported problem.
The routine only released the old string when the new one needed to be
larger however it always allocated a new string. Since this is non GC memory,
this causes a leak.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Uninitialized variable when encrypting a string from a pdfmark.
DETAILS :
Bug 687809 "pdfwrite: A wrong encryption of bookmarks".
This bug may become another classic example,
which demonstrates a bad coding style.
The function s_PSSD_init incompletely performed the action,
which it is designed for. The reason is that the macro
s_PSSD_init_inline was made especially for optimizing
scan_token, and its name doesn't reflect its action.
When coded s_PSSD_init, its action was forgotten.
As a result we've got an indeterministic behavior.
This fix renames s_PSSD_init_inline into s_PSSD_partially_init_inline
for a better reflection of its action, completes s_PSSD_init,
and makes the letter be public for a regular initialization.
Particularly using it gdevpdfr.c to fix another indeterministic bug,
which persists since the repository was created.

Removing pdf_begin_fontfile and open the data stream
with reserving the object ID before font name is being computed (gdevpdtb.c).
Detected occasionally, and it is not related to the bug.
Fixed to establish a correct order of processing,
setting a proper context for other changes.
2. pdf_write_embedded_font must not set DATA_STREAM_ENCRYPT
because the font object is being written into the temporary file pdev->streams.
It will be encrypted when copyed from the temporary file to the output file.
See comment in pdf_begin_encrypt.
The old code actually encrypted it twice, what is equivalent to no encryption.
We guess it was broken while working on ps2write,
due to writing font descriptor object before font file object.
3. pdf_write_cmap had same problem as pdf_write_embedded_font.
4. pdf_write_contents_cid2 had same problem with CIDToGIDMap.
5. In pdf_encrypt_encoded_string, the PSSD filter did not move
the cursor of the underlying stream when closing by EOD.
We believe that it worked when it was coded,
and we guess it was broken relatively recently.
As a workaround, setting close_at_eod = false,
because this mode appears to move the underlying stream.
We didn't analyze why PSSD moved it a long ago and doesn't longer move now.
6. pdf_write_cid_system_info_to_stream must not encrypt
when called from pdf_write_cmap due to (3).

The C stack overflow happened due to quadrangle_color_change
didn"t account the quadrangle size, causing an infinite

This happened with unlinear color devices only,
because otherwise the quadrangle was mapped to
a linear color fill device function, which doesn"t
perform a subdivision by color.

Speed up shadings with optimizing fn_Sd_is_monotonic.
DETAILS :
This change is a fifth partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
Implemented a new function fn_Sd_1arg_linear_monotonic,
which optimizes fn_Sd_is_monotonic in the case of
1-argument linear sampled function.
It doesn't use the pole cache and the tensor-based algorithm,
saving significant time from the cache allocation,
which otherwise happens once per shfill.
We would like to optimise 1-argument cubic sampled function.
For now delaying it due to the absence of practical cases
which need a high performance.
Minor change : Renamed fn_is_monotonic into fn_Sd_is_monotonic_aux.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

Prevent out of range ImageType 4 mask array entries from causing an error
as Adobe Acrobat Reader does. Bug 687611 for customer 870.
DETAILS:
When the Mask array values are beyond the max allowed by the BitsPerComponent,
a rangecheck error must be generated by PostScript, but Adobe Acrobat Reader
ignores the Mask in this case and effectively treats the image as ImageType 1.
This patch generates a pdfformaterror Warning when the problem is seen.

Speed up shadings with removing fn_domain_is_monotonic.
DETAILS :
1. The function fn_domain_is_monotonic was called when creating any
sampled function object, and its result was not used.
Actually it is a rudiment from the !NEW_SHADINGS code.
This change is a fourth partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
2. In gxshade1.c removed few rudiments of the !NEW_SHADINGS code.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Removing the !NEW_SHADINGS branch.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
1. Removed the obsolete code
NEW_SHADINGS 0 and NEW_RADIAL_SHADINGS 0,
which was disabled a long ago.
2. Removed stacks and few other unused fields from
Fb_fill_state_s, A_fill_state_s, R_fill_state_s.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

When a quadrangle color doesn't depend on one axis,
subdivide the quadrangle into 2 triangles.
The old code did into 4 triangles.

Faster shadings with setting a stronger clipping box.
DETAILS :
It's another partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
The old code computed a shading clipping box
as an transform of the shading BBox
to device coordinates. However with a rotation matrix
it significantly expanded the box,
so that more shading parts appear inside the paint region.
The new code sets clipping box equal to the bbox
of the clipping path, so that the rasterization
covers a smaller part of the shading, and the
shading becomes faster.
SHADING_FILL_RECTANGLE_PROC changes the prototype.
The new prototype adds a clipping rectangle in device coordinates,
which provides a stronger clipping of the paint region.
Probably we could drop the old argument "prect",
but leaving it untill the NEW_SHADINGS cleanup.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Faster shadings with a better function monotonity check.
DETAILS :
It's a partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
If an axial or radial shading use a sampled function
with many samples, the shading speeds up in 1.2 - 2.5 times.
1. The old code returned an unknown monotonity when the
interval covers several cells of a sampled function.
The new code summarizes the monotonity through multiple cells.
Rather shadings need 1- and 2-dimensional functions only,
we developed an N-dimensional algorithm for
a future use with color spaces and color renderings.
1.1. Generalized the function sample cache to linear functions
(the old code cached cubic ones only).
1.2. Made the branch POLE_CACHE to be permanent.
1.3. The new function is_lattice_monotonic
summarizes the monotonity through multiple cells.
1.4. The virtual function is_monotonic
now returns a mask about a monotonity by each coordinate.
2. The shading decomposition is adopted to the new monotonity check.
2.1. When decomposing a patch into stripes,
the color monotonity doesn't matter,
because further decomposition accounts it.
2.2. When decomposing a quadrangle,
the decomposition axis is being chosen according
to the function monotonity along each axis.
3. In the shading decomposition,
cached the monotonity separately from the linearity
with a new flag linear_color.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A minor difference in shading color with all devices and resolutions :

Fix: use identity matrix (rather than scaling by font matrix) to prepare
parameters for CDevProc procedure in pdfwrite code path. Fixes bug
#688033.
DETAILS
The problem in the 688033 test file was that the CDevProc procedure
for the font was getting called with values that were already scaled
down by .001, even though the PLRM3 says "all of the numeric values
are expressed in the glyph coordinate system of the font." (5.9.2,
p. 350)
My proposed fix is to pass in the identity matrix, instead of the font
matrix, to the gs_default_glyph_info procedure. This patch was tested
with both the 688033 test file and the test file from 687681, which was
the bug that motivated the changes to pdfwrite CDevProc handling. The
patched code also passed a full local regression.

Fix a SEGV when ImageType 4 has MaskColor values outside the range.
Detected with the PDF file from bug 687611 for customer 870.
DETAILS:
The rangecheck error was being thrown with the gx_image_enum allocated
but with many pointers not initialized so the SEGV happened when the
garbage collector tried to enumerate the image_enum.
The fix is simple and low-risk -- free the penum before returning the
rangecheck error.
Fix for SEGV when PreserveHalftoneInfo=true is given as a pdfwrite
option. Bug 688018.
DETAILS:
The initial problem was that the num_comp was not being looked at
when HalftoneType 5 was written and if num_comp was 3, the 4th
element of ht_ids[] was being used (UMR-wise). The solution to
this was to only write the three halftones and to use the 'Green'
halftone (arbitrarily) for Default.
After fixing the SEGV, another problem surfaced because the object
dictionary was not being terminated with the ">>".
Since I suspected that the threshold_halftone writers were also
broken I tested with 258-01.ps and found more problems. This
code was also quite broken. Since the Threshold array is the
stream data for HalftoneType 6 and 16, I changed this a lot to
emit valid PDF.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
None, since we don't set PreserveHalftoneInfo.

Fix for 688019 /configurationerror in --setpagedevice--. The PDF
interpreter was incorrectly determining the size of the page.
DETAILS:
The test file specifies the following media box:
/MediaBox [ 0 1080 1620 0 ]
The PDF 1.6 specification says the following about media box rectangles:
"3.8.4 Rectangles
Rectangles are used to describe locations on a page and bounding boxes for a
variety of objects, such as fonts. A rectangle is written as an array of four
numbers giving the coordinates of a pair of diagonally opposite corners.
Typically, the array takes the form
[llx lly urx ury]
specifying the lower-left x, lower-left y, upper-right x, and upper-right
coordinates of the rectangle, in that order. The other two corners of the
rectangle are then assumed to have coordinates (llx, ury) and (urx, lly).
Note: Although rectangles are conventionally specified by their lower-left and
upperright corners, it is acceptable to specify any two diagonally opposite
corners. Applications that process PDF should be prepared to normalize such
rectangles in situations where specific corners are required."
The PDF interpreter was assuming that the MediaBox and the CropBox were
in the 'typical' form. This fix consists of creating a pair of procedures
for converting rectangles into the typical form and then using the
procedures.

Conveys input tray selection info (/ManualFeed and /MediaPosition)
setpagedevice requests to PCL devices. Fixes bug #687899.
DETAILS
1. The behavior of MediaPosition is changed significantly. Previously,
it was ignored (i.e. omitted altogether from setpd merging). Just
adding it to setpd merging would not be good - if set at the PS
level, then it would get checked for equality at the C level (by
zmatchmedia), and fail horribly if it didn't match. In accordance
with the PLRM3 text (it will be honored provided it can satisfy the
normal media matching), in the new version a mismatch simply adds a
.001 penalty to the matching score.
2. The ljet4 device now contains ManualFeed and MediaPosition fields,
with appropriate putparams logic to set them.
3. The MediaPosition and ManualFeed strings now create an ESC & l H
init string, according to the following logic. ManualFeed sends
ESC & l 2 H; if ManualFeed is false (or not set), then MediaPosition
0 sends ESC & l 5 H, and MediaPosition1 sends ESC & l 1 H. If none
of these are set, then no extra init string is generated.
Obviously, for this feature to be useful, there needs to be an
InputAttributes dictionary in effect, for which the PageSize of
positions 0 and 1 match the PageSize of the setpagedevice request.
[Actually, if only ManualFeed is desired, then there is no need to
fiddle with InputAttributes].
I think these changes bring our media selection more in line with
what Adobe intended, and could be useful for embedded PS projects as
well. I believe the risk of unwanted changes is small, but considering
the delicacy of the setpagedevice logic, review and testing is
warranted.
Disable non-fatal jbig2 debug messages unless JBIG2_DEBUG is defined in the
C preprocessor. Previously, all messages were reported in the general gs
debug build, which was distracting.
Also, initialize the global context pointer to NULL. This isn't necessary
in the standard call order, but is extra insurance against an improper free.

pdfwrite : Implementing a viewer's resource memory control, part 1.
DETAILS :
This patch implements a primitive viewer's resource memory control.
A new device parameter MaxViewerMemorySize specifies the number of bytes
available for storing resources in the viewer's memory.
This parameter defined almost for future extensions.
Currently we distinguish two cases only : if the parameter is greater
than 10000000 bytes, no resource control is being applied,
i.e. pdfwrite assumes that the viewer can store all resources of entire document.
Othervise pdfwrite assumes that the viewer can store resources of a single page.
In the second case pdfwrite cleans internal resource caches after each page,
so that any new resource usage will generate another resource instance
in the output PDF file.
To inform the viewer that the resources may be cleaned,
we add a new key to a page contents stream dictionary.
This is our extension to the PDF specification in order to control
the resource management in the viewer.
The new key name is /.CleanResources.
Currently we provide only the value /All. It means that resources
may be cleaned *after* ending the contents stream.
In future on necessity we can split a page contents stream into substreams
and provide a finer control by resource types with providing
more values for the key /.CleanResources.
When the viewer is informed with allowing to clean resources,
it is not obliged to do so. Further resource appearences simply replace
old ones, if they have same resource name.
Actually now this happens only with font and CID font resources.
Other resource instances may persist in the viewer's memory until
the viewer's garbager frees them when they are not
referred from resource tree dictionaries.
The resource control is mainly intended for ps2write.
An implementation of the viewer's side (in opdfread.ps) will be a separate patch.
Note that when a resource control is being applied,
the output document size may increase significantly.
Currently we don't add MaxViewerMemorySize to user's documentation,
because it depends on another undocumenmted parameter ForOPDFRead
through the ResourcesBeforeUsage flag. First we need to take a decision
whether ps2write will become a new Ghostscript device or it stays a tool
represented with a script. The latter gives more flexibility to users
about composing the header procsets of the generated Postscript document.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

ps2write : Convert shadings into a clipped image (continued 4).
DETAILS :
Implement a downsampling when converting a shading into bitmap.
1. A new device parameter MaxShadingBitmapSize controls the downsampling.
Shadings, which give a (uncompressed) bitmap over the specified size,
will be scaled down.
2. The scaling algorithm goes to gdevpdfd.c .
It appears pretty tricky because we need to setup a device with a smaller
resolution than the target device. Due to that we need to scale paths and colors,
which are represented in the device space. The function scale_path works for it.
3. The scaling creates a local copy of a device color (which handles the shading)
and scales the color. Since we can't access further spatial transformations of the color,
we apply some unusual operation : multiply matrices in the reverse order
than usual 'concat' does. This makes some useful equations to be soluble
due to the offset is being scaled as well.
4. A code portion was copied from gx_default_fill_path
(see comment in code).
We're unhappy about uncomfortable code structurization.
5. path_scale is implemented with floating point for a debug purpose,
but in production we use only integers being a power of 2.
6. There is a problem with
<>
The problem happens when dividing the scaled bitmap in smaller ones
due to clip path overflow. This mode to be debugged separately.
For now set either smaller bitmap size of bigger clip path size.
Default settings work fine for most cases.

ps2write : Convert shadings into a clipped image.
DETAILS :
Since HP LaserJet 1320 unsatisfactory handles imagemask with a pattern color,
now we implement an alternative method for shadings representation.
The method creates a clipping path and an image rendered with it.
The new device parameter PatternImagemask specifies whether
imagemask with a pattern color is allowed. Now it defaults to false.
When false, a conversion to a clipped image happens.
The new device parameter MaxClipPathSize specifies a restriction
for clip path segments. When a mask converts into a too big clipping path,
the image and the mask are being subdivided into smaller chunks.
Minor change : Moved the flag OrderResources to gx_device_pdf_s
(it had a too general scope).

ps2write : Implementing the RotatePages and the FitPages options.
DETAILS :
This is a further improvement of the last patch.
When RotatePages is defined in the target device,
the opdfread procset rotates pages for a better fitting
into the page size.
When FitPages is defined in the target device,
the opdfread procset scales pages for a better fitting
into the page size.
Note thet if both options are specified,
the procset first rotates and then scales a page.
No rotations happen if a page fits with no rotation or
if a rotation doesn't improve the fitting.
Rather the RotatePages option looks similar to
the distiller parameter AutoRotatePages,
it affects a PS interpreter in the target printer
rather than the distiller in the ps2write host.
Thge implementation accounts /.HWMargins,
which is Ghostscript specific feature.
It is useful when the printer embeds Ghostscript.

Fix for 687434, 687835, and 687982. These reports are /vmerror in
--eofill-- or --fill--. They are caused by the pattern accumulation
device trying to allocate excessively large buffers.
DETAILS:
The pattern accumulation device allocates an image buffer for holding
patterns. The size of the pattern buffer (prior to this fix) is based
upon the bounding box specified with the pattern. For the problem files,
the pattern bounding boxes are excessively large. The vmerrors are the
result.
This fix consists of comparing the pattern bounding boxes to the size
of the page to be imaged. (All of the files have bounding boxes which
are much larger than the page.) We determine which part of the pattern
will actually be used and limit the pattern accumulation to the area
which is needed. Most of this fix consists of stepping the pattern to
check the intersection between the pattern and the page. The major
complication in this process is simply due to the arbitrary transform
matrix which can be applied between the coordinate space used to define
the pattern and the coordinate frame of the output page.
This fix significantly reduces the buffer sizes required for these
test files. However it is still possible for a pattern buffer to
exceed available memory. It is possible to create a solution using some
version of a band list. However my estimate on that task keeps getting
larger as I look at the details.

Fix for 687696 PDF 1.4 transparency can use large chunks of memory.
Prior to this fix the handling of PDF 1.4 transparency features used one
or more full size image buffers. With high resolutions and large images,
these buffers can be multiple gigabytes. As a result, we were not able
to handle these files.
DETAILS:
PDF 1.4 transparency is handled by a device which is inserted into the
device chain. Prior to this fix, this device was via the 'device filter'
logic. With this fix, the PDF 1.4 transparency device is inserted via
the compositor device mechanism. This change was made since the device
filter logic did not allow other devices to control where the PDF 1.4
transparency device is placed in the device chain. There is a device
proc which implements the create compositor action. This allows more
control than the device filter logic.
The first step in this fix was to convert the PDF 1.4 transparency
logic to use the create compositor mechanism. For situations in which
the clist logic is not being used, the PDF 1.4 transparency device is
created and placed in the same location in the device chain as it was put
by the device filter logic. In this situation, there is very little
logical difference in the operation of the PDF 1.4 transparency.
For situations in which the clist is used, there are two PDF 1.4
compositing devices created. There is one device before the clist when the
clist is being written. There is a second device after the clist when
the clist data is being read.
The device before the clist serves two purposes, it provides a means for
implementing the process color model for the PDF 1.4 compositing. (The
PDF 1.4 compositing may used a different process color model from the output
device.) Thus this device has color_info and encode/decode color procs
which match the PDF 1.4 blending color space. This device also ensures
that the PDF 1.4 blending parameters (blend mode, shape, opacity, etc.)
are passed through the clist to the second PDF 1.4 device.
The second PDF 1.4 device (the one when the clist is being read) is the
same PDF 1.4 compositing device which is used when the clist is not being
used. This is the device which does the blending operations. Since the
device is after the clist, the buffers that it needs are the size of a
single band instead of the full page. This device is placed prior to
the memory device which is used for drawing the raster data.
Two changes were made in the 'create compositor' logic. The imager state
was being passed as a 'const'. It is no longer const since the PDF 1.4
transparency compositing changes the cmap procs in the imager state to not
use transfer functions during color calculations. The transfer functions
are applied later (and the cmap procs restored) when blended image data
is output from the PDF 1.4 compositing buffers.
The second change to the create compositor logic is the addition of two
more procedures to the gs_composite_type_t.procs list. These procedures
are used by the clist device create compositor routines. The first
is used to create the PDF 1.4 clist write device. The second saves and
restores the color_info field for the clist device (see below).
Default versions of the added gs_composite_t.procs were also added for
use by the other compositor devices. The defaults are no-ops.
The clist logic has a few changes. Since the PDF 1.4 compositor device
may use a different process color model from the output device, the number
of colorants and the depth (bits per pixel) can be different for the PDF
1.4 compositor and the output device. Thus changes were needed in parts
of the clist logic which assumed that these items were constant during the
processing of the clist. An extra field was added to the device halftone
to indicate the number of colorants in effect when the device halftone was
created. This data is included when the halftone is serialized for the
clist. (Fortunately the PDF 1.4 compositing does not use halftones or
transfer functions. So the device halftones and transfer functions do
not need to be changed when the PDF 1.4 compositor is installed.)
As previously mentioned the create compositor procedures for the clist
writer and reader now call a couple of compositor specific routines. These
allow the compositor to implement actions related to the clist device.
(The PDF 1.4 compositor uses these routines to create the 'write clist'
PDF 1.4 compositor and to save and restore the clist device color info.
The color_info field of the clist device is changed to match the process
color model of the PDF 1.4 compositor while the PDF 1.4 compositor is active.
A additional device parameter (PageUsesTransparency) was added. This
parameter is sent by the PDF interpreter to indicate if PDF 1.4 transparency
will be used on the page. The banding/no banding decision and the size
of a band includes an estimate of the size of the PDF 1.4 blending buffers
if this parameter is true. Note: The estimate of the size of the
blending buffers is not exact since this calculation is made before the
actual number of buffers, the number of blending colors and alpha channels
is known. Fixed values are used for the estimated buffer size. This is
still much better than the pervious situation, in which the only the
output raster size was being used. The blending buffers can easily be
30 or more times larger than the raster buffer.
This fix also involves the removal of the PDF 1.4 'marking' devices.
The marking devices were used to actually implement the pixel marking.
The marking devices were created at the start of each high level drawing
operation and deleted after the completion of the operation. The marking
device action has been merged into the primary PDF 1.4 compositing device.
This change eliminates some device creation overhead. The overhead would
have been worse since most information about high level drawing operations
is not passed through the clist. As a result it would have been necessary
to create marking devices for each low level operations.
The following issues are not included in this fix but need to be considered.
1) The device filter logic is no longer used. It may be desired to remove
this logic.
2) We currently have a 'create_compositor' device proc. However there
is not a 'delete_compositor' device proc. As a result, compositor devices
can stay in the device chain even when they are no longer needed. The
current fix turns the PDF 1.4 compositor into a 'forwarding' device. This
is the same method used by the overprint compositor device. I do not like
leaving these devices since there is some extra overhead and there may be
possible side effects. (Testing has been done to try to find side effects
and none has been found with the current code.)
3) This change only affects devices which can use the clist logic. This
excludes the 'high' level devices. These include the 'display', 'x11',
and 'pdfwrite' devices. Thus these device will continue to use a full
image buffer. It is possible to extend this fix to use a clist device
for the PDF 1.4 device for these devices.

Set the default paper size with DEFAULTPAPERSIZE in gs_init.ps,
which only affects devices that default to A4 or letter paper.
This avoids inappropriately setting the bbox device to
A4 or letter size.
DETAILS:
Some linux distributions change the default paper size
to A4 by uncommenting the following line in gs_init.ps.
% Optionally choose a default paper size other than U.S. letter.
% (a4) /PAPERSIZE where { pop pop } { /PAPERSIZE exch def } ifelse
Unfortunately this sets the default paper size for all devices,
including the bbox device for which this is not appropriate.
If the bbox device is set to A4 paper and drawing occurs
outside this area, the bbox device will report an incorrect
bounding box. There may be custom printer devices which don't
support A4 or letter paper.
The default paper size is now set with DEFAULTPAPERSIZE,
which sets PAPERSIZE only if the paper size is not otherwise
set, the device defaulted to A4 or letter.

or Microsoft Visual Studio 8 (.NET 2005 beta) are required
to compile for 64-bits.
Dialog boxes return type INT_PTR not BOOL.
Install to the "Program Files" directory as default,
instead of c:\gs. This allows 32-bit and 64-bit
versions to be installed in separate locations.
For 32-bit GS on 32-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files\gs"
For 32-bit GS on 64-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files (x86)\gs"
For 64-bit GS on 64-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files\gs"
The " (x86)" is added by Windows when a 32-bit program asks
for the "Program Files" folder on 64-bit Windows.
Other languages will translate "Program Files".
The programs still have "32" in their names: gswin32c.exe,
gswin32.exe and gsdll32.dll. They are distinguished from
the 32-bit versions by their install location.
This avoids changes to many batch files.
The registry entries written by the installer do not
conflict between 32 and 64-bit.
For 32 on 32, or 64 on 64, the location is
HKLM\Software\AFPL Ghostscript\N.NN
For 32 on 64, Windows adds "WoW6432Node\" to make it
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\AFPL Ghostscript\N.NN
If the "Program Files" folder has a " (x86)" suffix,
this is used as a suffix on the Start Menu items. This
allows 32-bit and 64-bit GS to be installed without
conflict. The start menu item for 32-bit GS on 64-bit
Windows is "Ghostscript N.NN (x86)".
Building 64-bit GS on 32-bit Windows can be done
by the usual method - either execute genconf.exe on
a 64-bit platform or hand edit arch.h.
A separate patch will fix the display device DisplayHandle
parameter which is currently truncated to 32-bits.
There is a warning from the linker about exports being
defined multiple ways. This is not a problem with the
32-bit compile. This is due to the C code
specifying export and the module definition file
also specifying the export. Removing the function
names from the module definition file would make the
warning message go away, but may affect 32-bit compiles.
Change display device parameter DisplayHandle from an integer
to a string, to add support for 64-bit platforms.
DETAILS:
The display device passes a (void *) handle to callback functions.
The handle is set before the device is opened, and attempting to
change it afterwards is an error.
The handle may be used by the caller to identify an instance of
the display device, for example it may point to the display instance
object in the caller.
This handle was set using a PostScript integer which is 32-bits long,
typically with -dDisplayHandle.
The existing code will not work correctly on 64-bit architectures.
The display device is changed to return a string as the
DisplayHandle parameter.
Previously the handle would be set using -dDisplayHandle=1234.
The changed code allows it to be passed as
-dDisplayHandle=1234
-sDisplayHandle=1234
-sDisplayHandle=10#1234
-sDisplayHandle=16#04d2
This should be backward compatible, since users of the
display device will most likely only set the DisplayHandle,
not read its value.
The ghostscript example code in dw*.c, dx*.c and dp*.c
does not use DisplayHandle, so is unaffected by this change.
GSview does use DisplayHandle and will require this
change for operation on 64-bit platforms.
It is assumed that size_t is an integer with the same size
as a pointer.

Eliminate a performance problem when a TT font has a large 'loca' table.
A fix for 687889 used .sort on the 'loca' table but this takes a long
time if the table is large. Only run the .sort if the table is out of
order which is rare since the TT font spec requires an in-order table.
Bug 687968.
DETAILS:
Apparently our conversion of the 'japan.ps' file creates a TT font with
a loca table that has 20458 entries (even though the original font
in japan.ps didn't have that many). This is needed because there are
many glyphs that are not present, but we need loca table slots that
represent the missing glyphs (same starting offset as next glyph).
The time was being spent doing the '{ lt } .sort' of the array :-(
I added logic that checked the order as the loca table was converted
to an array so that the .sort could be skipped as long as the table is
in order (which it *should* be for a valid TT font). After this change,
the HEAD time is 1.16 CPU seconds versus 1.08 seconds for gs8.50.
(with the .sort, the time was 257 seconds).
I suppose that we could optimize the .sort (put it into 'C') but
for now I'll just avoid it most of the time.
Note that since the .sort has a procedure callout for the ordering test,
it might not speed up that much in 'C'. That's the other reason that it
is worthwhile to avoid the .sort when possible.

pdfwrite : Use character codes instead CIDs when creating a ToUnicode CMap.
DETAILS :
Bug 687954 "copy and pasting asian text problems".
The problem depends on what a Postscript printer driver
puts into the GlyphNames2Unicode table.
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented feature, which PScript5.dll uses to
communicate with Adobe Distiller. A long ago from its name
we concluded that it maps character names to Unicode, and it was
confirmed with multiple documents. Now we got a document
(the test case of the bug 687954), which uses character codes instead CIDs,
(CIDs are usually interpreted as "glyph names" in the case of CID fonts).
In the test document CIDs are not equal to character codes due to the embedded CMap
named WinCharSetFFFF-H2. We did not notice this problem before
due to most old documents from PScript5.dll use an identity CMap WinCharSetFFFF-H,
Now we change Ghostscript with using character codes instead CIDs
as keys to GlyphNames2Unicode. We have no technology for a regression test
of the related behavior. We will pass this revision to users in order to study
consequences of this patch from users' responses.

Fix a problem with .dividesfnts for large Type42 fonts introduced with the
previous commit. Also replace macro with C-Style compliant inline function.
DETAILS:
The previous code constructed a single 'locatable' string of 4 byte entries
from the sorted array of loca entries. This would fail if the original
was 2 byte (u16) offsets, as seen with 'fonts.pdf' in the regression suite.
The new code constructs the "splitarray" list using the sorted array so
that the string is never created (it wasn't used afterwards).
Also, the related file src/gstype42.c was changed to avoid adding another
macro that doesn't follow C-Style. I intentionally left the ACCESS macro
since this would need at least two lines to replace each ACCESS line.

Fix handling of broken TrueType fonts that have a loca table that is not
in order. Bug 687889 for customer 670.
DETAILS:
This is clearly a questionable TT font since the Apple TT font reference
manual clearly states that the length of glyphs can be inferred from
the difference in successive offsets.
Note that the PostScript code only needs to deal with the sorted 'locatable'
in order to decide where to split the glyf strings in the sfnts array
(in the .dividesfnts proc). Otherwise the PostScript code doesn't care.
If the .dividesfnts uses a sorted locatable, but doesn't replace the 'loca'
table written into the sfnts, then the VMerror occurs because the C code
in 'default_get_outline' calculated the glyph_length for the gs_alloc
using loca table entries that might be out of order.
In order to effect the entire fix, I sorted the 'locatable' for the PS
code in .dividesfnts as well as creating a new 'len_glyphs' array in
the gs_type42_data structure that holds the actual glyph lengths.
The glyph lengths are calculated once when the font is initialized in
gs_type42_font_init. If the 'loca' table is in order, then nothing
changes, but if it is out of order, we get the lengths by finding the
next higher glyph offset anywhere in the loca table.
These changes let the file run and show the same glyphs as Adobe Acrobat
Reader.

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
ps2write : Implementing a conversion of images into ProcessColorModel, step 1.
DETAILS :
This patch defines overall logic and data exchange for converting images to
ProcessColorModel color space. For a while, the real convertion is stubbed
with conversion into a bitmask (a 1 bit per sample image).
1. When pdf_begin_typed_image calls pdf_color_space,
a failure means that the image can't represent in the output PDF.
Then we setg up a n image color conversion filter with
psdf_setup_image_colors_filter.
2. The function psdf_setup_image_colors_filter currently is stubbed
with etting up the "image_to_mask" filter instead a general color conversion filter.
Implementing the general filter will be the next step.
3. When conversion happens, pdf_begin_typed_image writes
a ProcessColorModel colore space instead the image color space.
Currently it is stubbed with gs_color_space_index_DeviceGray
to comply with the stub in psdf_setup_image_colors_filter.
4. Multiple bugs (mainly the order of bits in the stream,
and row to tyte alignment) have bin fixed in s_image_to_mask_process.
5. We continue to use pdev->OrderResources as a general switch
for the ps2write mode, rather it's not fully correct.
The new code will be useful for pdfwrite with CompatibilityLevel < 1.3,
so later we'll need to remove the switch from pdf_begin_typed_image.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
pdfwrite : Simplify data exchange for pdf_color_space.
DETAILS :
1. The old code assumes a constraint explained in the comment :
/* SRZB 2001-04-25/Bl
* Since psdf_setup_image_filters may change the color space
* (in case of pdev->params.ConvertCMYKImagesToRGB == true),
* we postpone the selection of the PDF color space to here:
*/
Implement this dependence implicitly with defining a new function
psdf_is_converting_image_to_RGB, in order to cancel the "postpone" constraint.
2. Call pdf_color_space before setting up image filters.
This allows a proper check of the color space compatibility
before image filters are set.
This is important since we'll apply a filter
for the image color space conversion.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
ps2write : Unwind the last patch (disallow ICCBased color spaces when writing a ps2write output).
DETAILS :
When applied the last patch,
we decided to convert ICC profile into a CIEBased color space.
But ICC profiles (especially ones coming from PDF documents from wild)
may contain a general lookup table, and a general lookup
table can't convert into M1*T*M2 transformation,
where Mi are 3D linear transformations, and and
T is unlinear 3-component transformation.
Since a CIEBased color space is restricted with
M1*T*M2 transformation, in a general ICC profile
can't convert into a CIEBased.
Besides that, the ICC-based method can't apply to DeviceN spaces.
Therefore now we choose another implementation strategy.
Single colors will be converted into low level colors in
the ps2write step, and images will be filtered to convert
into low level color spaces.
Will implement a special filter for that.
Due to all above, the last patch appears wrong.
Unwinding it now.

ps2write : Allow ICCBased color spaces when writing a ps2write output.
DETAILS :
Since CIEBased is not a PDF 1.2 object, we need to convert it somehow.
One possible way is to write CIEBased into PDF.
We do not choose this way because (1) it will generate an invalid PDF
so that we'll not be able to verify the output with PDF readers;
(2) we have no code for writing a CIEBased color space to PDF or Postscript,
but we do have one for ICCBased.
Another way is to write ICCBased into the ps2write output
and to implement a parsing of ICC profile in opdfread.ps .
We prefer this way since a part of this algorithm (an ICC writer)
already presents in Ghostscript.
Strongly saying, a PDF with ICCBased is not a valid PDF 1.2 document.
But as we noticed before, Adobe PDF viewers simply ignore
pdf level from the document header. So we'll be able to view it
as it is or after a small modification of the header.
We continue to use the flag OrderResources as a general switch for
ps2write mode. Doing so because we still have no
a perfect decision about the list and logics of configuration options.
Later we'll need to bring more order to this field.
Possibly writing a "restricted PDF1.3" would be better that
writing an "extended PDF 1.2".
By the way, pdfwrite appears to have a rudimentary branch
pdf_convert_cie_to_lab, which currently is a stub,
which always fails. We think that this conversion isn't possible
in general due to Lab restricts with a very special class of
transformations. So lakely this branch will never be implemented
and it must always fail.
Please note that with this patch ps2write successfully converts
a smaller class of input files then before it,
because the writer becomes inconsistent with
the reader coded in opdfread.ps . But we do need this step
in the develoipment technology. Actually the files outside the class
were converted into a too long PDF.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Improving the heap consistensy with compression chooser.
DETAILS :
When a compression chooser is being installed,
s_add_fimter may insert another NullEncode filter to comply the buffering
between the compression chooser and its target.
After the compression chooser is closed, the old code
left the NullEncode filter unreleased in the heap,
so that the heap consistency check claimed a reference
from it to a freed object, which is the target of the
NullEncode. It's not a real bug sisnce NullEncode was never referred,
But running with -Z? got a failure in the heap consistency check.
This patch generalizes the code with closing all filters in the chain
(including the NullEncode) without a dependence on
features of specific filters.
BTW, we're unappy of all this stuff,
becauase actually the compression chooser filter doesn't need any target.
A dummy one was inserted only to work around a crash in
s_add_filter, in the check of the buffer size compliance,
and now we fix a problem with the dummy thing.
Maybe a simpler way would be patching s_add_filter
to allow NULL target (I mean no target at all,
rather than a null filter as the target),
but we don't want to modify that fundamental thing,
which is handled by another engineer.

Tolerate non-printing garbage characters prior to the %PDF header of a PDF
file. Bug 687942 for customer 670.
DETAILS:
This is yet another example of PDF's that Acrobat Reader can handle that
don't quite meet the spec. AR has the advantage that they don't have to
'auto-sense' PostScript, EPS and PDF and they can just ignore garbage
before the %PDF header. We don't have that advantage.
We've had previous proposals to operate the way AR does, but this would
require a command line switch to force PDF language mode (akin to the
PJL ENTER LANGUAGE functionality of PCL).
This is a simple enough patch and does solve at least one customer's
issue so I'm committing this patch. We can always improve on it later.
Note that skipping initial non-printing characters doesn't interfere
with PostScript or EPS recognition or processing (and may help).

DETAILS:
The logic was clearly broken. There was an arbitrary MIN_MEDIA_SIZE #define

simply returning a pointer to the data.
The default implementation of overprinting uses the device get_bit_rectangle
proc to retrieve the current pixel data. This one of the few situations that
only uses the 'GB_RETURN_COPY' option to the get_bits routine. (Most cases
use both GB_RETURN_COPY and GB_RETURN_POINTER.)

ps2write : Fix problems with heh encodings.
DETAILS :
The old code failed when pdfwrite applies /ASCII85EncodePages true .
This patch fixes that.
When reading the generated PS file with Ghostscript,
we observe a problem with ASCII85Decode filter :
images and fonts appear corrupt,
and embedded fonts cause an access violation on Windows.
In same time Adobe Reader reads them fine.
This secondary problem shouldn't be important for the Postscript generation.
It will be fixed separately.

Revert to the redistributable Identity-H and Identity-V CMaps (same as
the CVS revision 1.1). Bug 687933.
ps2write : Implementing a conversion of type 3 images into an 'imagemask' with a pattern color.
DETAILS :
1. The main worker is use_image_as_pattern.
2. pdf_image_end_image_object2 transfers the condition for calling use_image_as_pattern.
3. pdf_image_end_image_data handles more cases, including the new USE_AS_PATTERN.
See comment in code near it. Other 2 cases are equivalent to old ones.
4. Don't write the Mask key when the image is used as the pattern color.
5. New fields are added into pdf_device_s to provide a data transfer for use_image_as_pattern.
6. pdf_do_image is splitted into 2 functions. A further simplification
would be useful, but we delay it in order to simplify this patch.
See new comments in code.
7. A comment is inserted into gdevpdfd.c to provide a reference to a similar
code fragment. Maybe we should factor out a common function.
Delaying to simplify this patch.
8. Added a 'const' to a pdf_add_resource argument,
since this patch calls it with a constant.

Implementing a conversion of a shading to a raster image for high level devices (continued 2).
DETAILS :
1. When a patch possibly is self-overlapping, patch_fill passes an empty path
(instead the patch boundary) to the device. Receiveing an empty path, the device
knows that it must convert the coverage area into a mask.
2. pdfwrite converts self-overlapping patches into an imagemask with a colored pattern color,
which paints the shading image. See the new code and comments in gdevpdfd.c.
3. An auxiliary function is added to gsptype2.c .
4. Probably we'll need to break big patterns into small ones
against the printer RAM overflow. Delaying for a while.

Fix for 687849 Unrecoverable error, converting PDF to TIF. Igor determined
that the file has a problem that that causes the XREF rebuilding logic to
be invoked and that object 74 0 was not being found. With this fix, we are
able to rebuild the file.
DETAILS:
The XREF rebuild logic uses a working string while searching for objects.
Object 74 0 was not being found because it is larger than the working
string. This fix increases the working string size to 65535 bytes (the
maximum size for a string).

Implementing a conversion of a shading to a raster image for high level devices (continued).
DETAILS :
1. In pdf_copy_color_data, allowed the new value 2 for the parameter for_pattern.
In this case non-lossless filters are allowed.
2. In gdev_pdf_fill_path, fixed the grouping of clip paths for all
meshes|patches of a shading.
3. In gdev_pdf_fill_path, used the shading BBox to minimize
the size of the raster image.
4. In gdevpdfp.c allowed CompatibilityLevel=1.1 .
Now this is done mainly for debug purpose,
but likely we'll use it in ps2write when the target doesn't handle TT fonts.
5. The new function gx_dc_pattern2_get_bbox works for (3).
6. The function shade_bbox_transform2fixed has been renamed into
gx_dc_pattern2_shade_bbox_transform2fixed with making its scope bigger
to work for (5). It has been moved into gsptype2.c,
which is mode fundamental than gxshade.c .
The following changes happened due to that : gsptype2.c, gsptype2.h,
gsshade.c, gxshade.c, gxshade1.c, gxshade4.c.
We would like to do more cleanup with replacing it with
gx_dc_pattern2_get_bbox, but currently we delay that to simplify this patch.
7. Introduced a new field patch_curve_t::straight to know whether a patch
boundary is a straight line. patch_fill uses it when passing the
shading coverage area.
8. mesh_triangle now passes the coverage area.
An auxiliary function mesh_triangle_rec is factored out for that.
9. patch_fill checks for self-overlapoped patches
and prints a warning is the patch appears suspicious.
Comments in patch_fill about that have been improved.
10. patch_fill and mesh_triangle check the sign odf the coverage area,
and change the contour direction for making all contours be positive.
This works for proper clipping.
11. Fixed compressed streams in opdfread.ps .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Implementing a convertion of a shading to a raster image for high level devices.
DETAILS :
If a high level device can't handle a shading,
it is being converted to a raster image.
This patch implements it only in OrderResources mode.
A generalization to "normal" mode will be done in a separate patch.
The generated bitmap sometimes appears too big since it
doesn't accout a bbox of a real shading coverage.
An optimization is coming soon.
1.The device virtual function pattern_manage now handles
a new request pattern_manage__shading_area.
If it returns 1, the graphics library will pass
the shading area as a special call to fill_path,
with passing NULL images\r state and NULL clipping path.
Such call immediately follows pattern_manage(...., pattern_manage__shading_area).
Currently it goes only to a special converter device (see below),
other devices and the default implementation return 0
for pattern_manage(...., pattern_manage__shading_area).
2. A new local type pdf_lcvd_t implements a subclass for
memory device, which is used especially for converting shadings
to raster image. It is defined locally in pdfwrite.
The subcalss redefines 4 device methods :
2.1. fill_rectangle with shifting the device space.
It is used to mapo the shading and its paths to the image coordinate system.
2.2. get_clipping_box returns the target clipping box,
to deceive a cut-off condition in the shading algorythm.
2.3. pattern_manage returns 1 for pattern_manage__shading_area.
2.4. fill_path is used only for handling the shading area.
It sets a clipping when instantiating the bitmap.
3. gdev_pdf_fill_path implements the convertion with (2).
4. gs_shading_fill_path doesn't set up a clipper device
when it works with the shading convertion device.
Instead that the clipping path is being passed through (2.4).
5,. patch_fill in gxshade6.c checks if the devices needs the
shading area, and if so, passes the area throuhg the special call to
fill_path.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Fix for an infinite loop in a PDF file that uses Patterns. Bug 687802
for customer #850.
DETAILS:
The problem was that the DefaultQstate used when making a Pattern
was the device *BEFORE* the pdf14 device filter was inserted as
the device. If the underlying device had a different 'depth' than
the PDF14 device, the pattern cache lookup would always fail which
would then cause the fill to return e_RemapColor and perform the
PaintProc again. The 'depth' comparison is in gsptype1.c in the
gx_pattern_cache_lookup function.
The fix is to set the DefaultQstate *AFTER* the pushpdf14devicefilter
is performed (and of course also reset it after popdevicefilter
is done).
Expected Differences:
None (we didn't have any regression tests that use Patterns in pages
with transparency). In fact, we only had two pages with ANY transparency:

DETAILS :
Bug 645316 Quark EPS file with CID fonts
Bug 687845 text doesn't appear from embedded japanese font
Bug 687847 text missing from CIDFont
From PLRM3 section 5.11 page 389 :
Under special conditions, a CID can be used when the descendant is a Type 3
base font. The font's BuildGlyph or BuildChar procedure is invoked to render a
character whose code is the last byte originally extracted from the show string.
If this procedure executes setfont to establish a CIDFont as the current font
and then executes a show operation on a string consisting of just that character
code, the code is ignored; instead, the CID determined by the earlier CMap
mapping is used to look up the glyph in the CIDFont. This special case exists
for compatibility with applications that substitute Type 3 fonts for base fonts
in a composite font hierarchy to achieve certain special effects.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Prefer 'post' to cmap 1.0, because obsolete PDF writers misuse the latter.
DETAILS :
Bug 687828 "pages retain some of earlier pages displayed/"
The bug title above is misleading.
Real problem is missing characters and rendering .notdef instead.
This patch improves hewristics for choosing an encoding
for True Type fonts. Obsolete versions of Distiller and Ghostscript
wrote a cmap 1.0 (Macintosh Roman) into a PDF, which really uses a
random encoding. For example, the test case of the bug 687828
encodes Arabian characters with cmap 1.0.
Thits patch prefers to use 'post' table instead cmap 1.0,
when a 'post' table presents, and font resource dictionary
doesn't specify Encoding.
Also improved a debug printing.

None.

Fix : A hang adding over 256 glyphs for a stable font copy.
DETAILS :
Bug 687816 "Hang in named_glyph_slot_hashed".
1. Added gs_copied_font_data_s::num_glyphs to monitor
the current number of glyphs in a stable font copy (gxfcopy.c).
2. copy_glyph_data maintains gs_copied_font_data_s::num_glyphs (gxfcopy.c).
3. gs_copied_can_copy_glyphs checks whether the preallocated
size of the glyphs array doesn't exceed (gxfcopy.c).
4. copy_glyph_data is fixed to return error code when
trying to add a glyph over the preallocated size of the glyphs array (gxfcopy.c).
5. pdf_obtain_font_resource_encoded is changed to handle the case when
new glyphs overflow the font copy (gdevpdtt.c).
The changes above fix the bug, but we also provide an additional optimization
with GLYPHS_SIZE_IS_PRIME 1 (gxfcopy.c):
6. Preallocate at least 257 ghyphs rather than 256 ones by the old code;
This coners a font of 256 glyphs and 1 .notdef (gxfcopy.c).
(Well, that could fix the hang in the sample case of the bug 687816,
but generally there exist other cases due to the font merging,
which require the changes 1-5 above.
7. Use primes numbers for the size of glyphs array instead powers of 2
against unprodactive expense of RAM (gxfcopy.c).
When the changes 5 was done, a regression happened with tpc2.ps :
pdfwrite generated an incorrect PDF. To fix that, we forced to do more changes :
8. pdf_register_charproc_font recieved a gs_id of the PS font instead
the PDF object id. It caused a problem with multiple muster fonts,
because MM instances have same id as the MM font.
pdf_encode_string is changed to pass a correct resource id (gdevpdte.c),
9. Since tpc2.ps generates hundreds of MM font instances, the field
pdf_font_resource_s::u.s.used_fonts may not have a staticly defined size.
replaced with a dynamicly allocated array (gdevpdtf.h, gdevpdte.c).
10. Garbager descriptor for pdf_font_resource_s is changed to maintain (9).
11. A new function pdf_find_resource_by_resource_id is defined for
the correct implementation of pdf_used_charproc_fonts (gdevpdfu.c).
After it another tpc2.ps regression persisted : the character 'y'
dissapperaed in some words. The following changes are done to fix that :
12. Improved thge hash function in pdf_add_subset_prefix (gdevpdtb.c).
13. Defined FINE_GLYPH_USAGE 1 for a better precision of the font subset,
in the case when a PS interpreter callout happens fro CDevProc or for a Type 3 BuildChar
(gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdte.c). Currently it works for non-CID fonts only.
14. Improved the diagnistics for the missed glyph in a Type 1 font (gs_type1.ps).
Actually the last regression reflects another problem in the PDF interpreter,
which is described in a new bug 687856.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
pdfwrite :
test-setweightvector.ps
tpc2.ps
The distilled tpc2.ps gets 1 progression and 1 regression.
The progression is the glyph width. The regression is an ununiform
stem width while rendering the PDF due to problem in the PDF interpreter.
We describe that problem in the new bug 687857.
Fix : gs_function_is_monotonic computed an unused auxiliary result (continued 5).
DETAILS :
Interval boundaries for subfunctions of a stitching function got an
artithmetic error, which caused the interval to move outside the
subfunction domain. Bug 687840 "/rangecheck in --fill--".
The effect only appeared with MSVC6 release build.
The hunk #2 of this patch fixes the particular problem, but
we prefer to provide a better safety with the hunk #3.

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.
New features since the last stable release:
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 GridFitTT for information on this
feature.
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the encryption parameter documentation for more
information.
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.
Better support for running Ghostscript in "Job Server" mode as a daemon
to continually accept and convert a series of independent files.
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 Rinkj section for more information.
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
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.
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.
The following bug numbers
were open at the time of this release:
Disable JPXDecode support in the default MacOS Codewarrior build, pending
resolution of some functional issues. The autoconf gcc build can be used
as a workaround.

MacOS platform build cleanup.
DETAILS:
Since the libctx changes, stdio hasn't been directly available.
Therefore we no longer support '-' as a special filename in
(the obsolete) gp_open_printer(). We change an fprintf(stderr,...)
to an eprintf() which is more correct in any case.
This change also removes the fprintf() and fputs() implementations
in the MacOS build. Metrowerks CW libc has for some time provided
implementations, but they're even less needed now that we're being
a proper library.
Convert gs_malloc() calls in the MacOS gp_* code to unwrapped libc malloc()
now that gs_malloc() requires a memory pointer, which is not available.
Partial fix for bug 687830.
DETAILS:
Only the call in getenv() is active; the one in gp_init() is not used.
This may have been what the earlier libctx patch was trying to do when
it touched gp_macio.c, changing the function call, but not the arguments,
and breaking the

Added macros for assertions:
GS_ASSERT(false)
returns -1 in a release system
asserts in a debug system
GS_DBG_ASSERT(false)
is a NOP in a release system
asserts in a debug system
Both versions will printf to stderr first.
Raw assert() should not be used.
GS_ASSERT will not compile in a void function, as it returns -1.
This means you can not use assertions to change the standard error return
exception handline mechanism in Ghostscript.
You can use them to catch programmer usage errors in a debug build.
gs_misc::gs_assert() is the one place the operating system's assert is called.
This can be modified in a embedded system, again assert is only called in
a debug build.

manually and touching this file, or by building a separate shared
library.

Add JPXDecode filter to the default Windows MSVC build. This is based on
the "jasper" source and must be at least version 26 from the svn repository
using svn co http://svn.ghostscript.com:8080/jasper/trunk jasper
DETAILS:
This is a fairly minor modification to the gs MSVC makefiles, but it did
require changing our jasper version (that had accumulated many changes)
to hook in the correct jas_config***.h file and to avoid using windows.h
(so we can build with /Za). See the jasper svn for details of the changes.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
none. (we didn't have any PDF 1.5 files with JPEG2000 images in the
comparefiles).

Fix: in implementation of n operator in clip mode, put pathbbox in stopped
context so that completely empty paths have the same behavior as paths
with empty bbox, rather than causing an error. Fixes bug #687820.
DETAILS
The test file has a "n W n" sequence, which is a request to clip to
a totally empty path. The error comes from code added to pdf_ops.ps v
1.33 to handle the case where a path is defined but has an empty
bbox. See bug 687136 for more details on this change. Comment #8 of
that bug report suggests that our PDF interpreter always maintains a
currentpoint, which would justify the use of an unprotected
pathbbox. However, that assumption seems to be false. This fix wraps
the pathbbox added in the 1.33 change in a stopped context.
[lib/pdf_ops.ps 1.37]
2004-12-01 08:17 Ralph Giles
Add a platform-specific JASPERCFLAGS makefile variable to assist with
proper compilation of the jasper jpeg2k library. Set this variable
correctly in the autoconf build.
DETAILS:
The jasper library natively supports building under both autoconf+cc and
MSVC, but expects a preprocessor define to be set to distinguish the
two. While we do carefully construct a special JAS_CC for compiling the
jasper source into Ghostscript, as with all the other 3rd party
libraries, there is only a facility to set special CFLAGS globally.
This change adds a new top-level makefile variable for passing
platform-specific CFLAGS into gs.mak for addition to that global
set.
Also, set JASPERCFLAGS=-DJAS_CONFIGURE in Makefile.in so that the jasper
sourcr expects the autoconf generated configuration header when
compiling as part of Ghostscript.

Also, .findfontname was returning a name rather than a

Add some missing initializers for glyph_data_t->memory. Related to the
687459 fix.
Copies over new-style color procs when making a null device with a
target, to avoid inconsistent states. Fixes bug #687770.
DETAILS
The problem was a null device (for implementing stringwidth) with
inconsistent color info; the color_info struct specified 4 components,
but the get_color_mapping_procs was
gx_default_DevGray_get_color_mapping_procs, which is the desired value
for null devices instantiated through gs_copydevice
(i.e. -sDEVICE=null). As a result, cm_comps[1] through [3] were left
uninitialized, and, when negative, would crash the halftone logic.
This patch copies over the new-style color mapping procs (the
old-style were already copied) in the gs_make_null_device routine. A
strong argument could be made for changing the logic in
gx_device_copy_color_procs() instead, but it was felt that this change
was more localized.
Dan reviewed this patch during a phone conversation, so I am going ahead
and committing. I'm also opening a new bug to encourage a closer look
at other uses of gx_device_copy_color_procs() to see whether a change
there is beneficial or harmful.

Add utility mkcidfm.ps to create a cidfmap file based on fonts
found in a directory.
Change MS-Windows installer to optionally update lib/cidfmap
with the CJK fonts found in the Windows font directory.
DETAILS:
Ghostscript does not ship with CJK fonts.
If support for Chinese, Japanese or Korean is added to MS-Windows,
CJK TrueType fonts and font collections are added to the MS-Windows
fonts directory. These can be used by ghostscript by specifying
mapping and aliases in the lib/cidfmap file.
This patch looks in the MS-Windows fonts directory for known
CJK fonts, and if present it appends appropriate mappings or
aliases to the lib/cidfmap file.
The font names and aliases are currently fixed, but can
be changed by editing mkcidfm.ps.
A new checkbox is added to the installer dialog
"Use Windows TrueType fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean"
Only if the user selects this will lib/cidfmap will be updated.
The default behavior is that lib/cidfmap is unchanged.

Fix for Bug 687459 (SEGV) addressing several problems: (i) Elements
fetched from a font dictionary have to be dereferenced into a ref
since pointers change if the dictionary is resized (to add entries);
(ii) The glyph_cache used by gs_font_cid2 fonts needs to be in stable
memory since elements might be added after a 'save' and the list will
still be refereced by the font, so cannot be freed by 'restore';
(iii) The gs_glyph_cache__release was never being called so creating
a memory leak -- font notification (called by gs_font_finalize) is
now used to free the cache list; (iv) The gs_glyph_cache__release
did not work (probably was never tested since it was not being used).
DETAILS:
Using stable_memory means that the objects created need to be freed
properly, that's why the font_notify mechanism was used. This fixes
the problem reported by the bug and doesn't seem to have created
any other problems (regression test passed).
A 'memory' element was added to the gs_glyph_data_s structure so
that the 'bits' can be allocated using the desired memory (stable
memory in the case that we are using the cache). This was deemed
preferable to always using the pfont->memory->stable_memory since
changing to this might cause other problems. This did create a
fair number of changes since every place the get_outline was used,
the glyph_data structure needed to have the 'memory' element set.
We could have used 'NULL' to signal pfont->memory, but this might
have masked uninitialized memory issues that can be tracked with
tools such as valgrind.
The gs_glyph_cache__release was totally broken, and since it was
not previously used, fixing and testing it presents no risk of
other clients relying on broken behaviour.
The implementation of the cache is VERY RUDIMENTARY -- a linked
list of elements with a hard-coded number (32767) limit to the
size of the cache. The size is too small to be useful for Asian
fonts, but making it bigger will result in a lot of time spent
finding a 'miss' condition. At least the current logic has LRU
slot re-use behaviour (which should be retained). Fixing this,
and making the cache limit larger are left for a later change
(post 8.50 release).

Fix : toolbin/pdfinflt.ps did not decompress some streams (continued).
DETAILS :
The 2nd Patch from SaGS for the bug 687746
"gs\toolbin\pdfinflt.ps doesn't unpack a stream"
The previous patch contained on over-optimization that leaded to a corrupted
operand stack. "{ [ {proc} {proc} ] }" (note: 2 identical inner procs)
can be optimized:
either as "{ [ {proc} dup ] }" - use VM for only 1 copy of "{proc}"
or as "{ { {proc} {proc} } }" - the 2-element array is allocated
only once, by the parser, not at
each execution of the enclosing proc
but we cannot apply both these optimizations at the same time.
This error affects PDF files that include a /Filter and/or /DecodeParams
specified as 1-element arrays. PDFs for which these entries are a single
name (for /Filter) or dict (for /DecodeParams) or arrays with 2 or more
elements are not affected.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Forget cancelled resources.
DETAILS :
Bug 687749 "PS to PDF generates very large PDF document"
1. An indeterministic bug fixed in gdevpdfi.c, hunk #1.
2. Implemented a recognition of equal patterns in gdevpdfi.c
and provided a PDF pattern substitution.
We caould not provide a substitution in the PS interpreter
because an accumulated pattern instance doesn't point
to the corresponding client color.
3. pdf_forget_resource is applied when a resource is cancelled and
is not longer needed. This applies to all redundant resources except patterns,
because patterns keep the substitution data.
We would like to save memory from substitured patterns with
a special substitution table,
but we have no time for such optimization now.
4. The function pdf_forget_resource is some slow
because the data structure was not designed for
removing resources from lists.
We would like to implement dual linked lists,
but we have no time for such optimization now.
5. Since pdf_forget_resource is not applied to patters,
we need to prevent a big growth of the number of stored patterns.
We implemented pdf_drop_resources for that purpose
and drop all substitured pattrens after 300 ones
have been accumulated, but not frequenter than once per page.
This solution isn't perfect, but should work for most cases.
If a substituted pattern is dropped erroneusely,
it will be accumulated again, maybe causing some slowdown.
6. Implemented a new device parameter PrintStatistics.
The new function pdf_print_resource_statistics
prints a statistics to stdout.

Version 8.32 (2004-10-26)
This is the third beta release leading up to the stable 8.5x series.
It contains numerous bug fixes since the last testing release, but
a few outstanding issues remain.
New features since the last stable release:
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 GridFitTT for information on this
feature.
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the encryption parameter documentation for more
information.
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.
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the Rinkj section for more information.
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
The following bug numbers were open at
the time of the last release:
Back out double-include protection for gxfill*.h. Contrary to C-style,
these are templates that are configured and included multiple times.
They should probably be .c files rather than .h.
Add libctx memory pointers where required in the compiled-fonts code. This
was missed in the initial commit. Also, add the OBJ directory to the include
path when compiling the font data, since stdpre.h now requires the generate
arch.h header. Closes bug 687758.

DETAILS :

Disposition :
D1. The PDF spec requires X-compomenent of v-vector always equals to half glyph width.
D2. AR5 appears to use W|DW to compute the X-component of the v-vector of WMode 1.
The previous patch fixed most problems, but one left unfixed.
When a glyph is used with WMode 0, and later with WMode 1,
the second usage doesn't store Width and V due to the 'used' flag is already set.
This patch introduces 2 separate sets of flags for WNode 0 and WMode 1.
Changes :
1. Defined a new field 'used2' fro WMode 1 in gdevpdtf.h .
2. Allocated the used2 array, provided garbager methods,
and a resizing on demand in gdevpdtf.c .
3. gdevpdtc.c sets used2.
4. Improved the computation of the v-vector in gdevpdtt.c .
Now pdf_glyph_widths should be conforming to (D1) and (D2).
5. The coordinate adjustment in gdevpdte.c is not longer useful
due to (4). Removed.
6. When writing W, W2, glyphs are being enumerated with used, used2
correspondingly (gdevpdtw.c).
7. The accedd to Widths2 sometimes was incorrect. Now fixed (gdevpdtf.c).
8. gdevpdtc.c misused Widths2 as Widths when storing the WMode 0 width
as a component of theWMode 1 v-vector. Now fixed.

Fix (pdfwrite, PDF interpreter) : Glyph positions were wrong for vertical CID fonts.
DETAILS :
Bug 687753 "Text not aligned when viewed with Acrobat Reader".
Disposition :
D1. The PDF spec requires X-compomenent of v-vector always equals to half glyph width.
D2. AR5 appears to use W|DW to compute the X-component of the v-vector of WMode 1.
Changes :
1. With WMode 1, pdf_obtain_cidfont_widths_arrays obtains both Widths and Widths2 arrays
(gdevpdtf.c, gdevpdtf.h, gdevpdtc.c).
2. For CID fonts gdevpdtc.c computes both WMode 1 and WMode 2 width
when WMode 1 is requested.
3. Due to (D1), must compensate the half width when computing a glyph position
in gdevpdte.c (hunk #2).
4. In gdevpdte.c internal data glyph_origin_shift used opposite signs for
CID and non-CID fonts. Now made uniform.
5. The Type 0 font matrix and the descendent CID font matrix were applied
in a wrong order in gdevpdte.c .
6. To satisfy (D2) when WMode 1 is only requested,
write DW 0 when WMode 1 is only requested.
7. After fixing all above, from the test file of the bug 687753 pdfwrite
generated a PDF, which GS failed interpret due to a curious failure
with e_dictfull while checking for an absent key /File in the font dictionary.
Patched zfcid1.c to provide a tolerance.
Meanwhile we're not sure that it's the best way for fixing that,
so if someone can bring a better method, feel free to improve.

DETAILS :
Fixes the reopened bug 687660
"incorrect font rendering/missing glyphs from ps2pdf".
pdf_is_same_charproc1 now checks whether we try to replace
a charproc with one taken from a font with a compatible Encoding.
Before now the encoding was ingnored,
causing a subsequent failure (due to an encoding conflict)
when adding glyphs to the font copy, and an infinite loop.
As usual, the encoding compatibility
is being checked within the list of characters of a current text.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued 8).
Allocate a single character list per text.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
It's a preparation for fixing the reopened bug 687660
"incorrect font rendering/missing glyphs from ps2pdf".
For 1-byte fonts now we allocate a singe instance of
pdf_char_glyph_pairs_t for storing the character list for entire text.
Now it is done once per text as an extention to pdf_text_enum_t.
The intention is to provide an access to it from pdf_find_same_charproc.
CID text is still processed in chunks, which
are delimited by font changes or CDevProc callouts.
It may cause a searchability problem with some viewers,
when converting a composefont with a Type 3 descendent.
But unlikely we'll met such case in practice,
due to we have no exmples of composefont with a Type 3 descendent.
We would like to improve the CID text processing sometimes with
with building a complete character list for a text portion
delimited with font changes. The new algorithm for scan_cmap_text
should be like this : first delimit a single font portion,
then construct the character list for the portion,
and then process the portion with possible CDevProc and charproc callouts.

Fix : toolbin/pdfinflt.ps did not decompress some streams.
DETAILS :
Patch from SaGS for the bug 687746
"gs\toolbin\pdfinflt.ps doesn't unpack a stream"
Current version of pdfinflt.ps uncompresses only streams that have a single
filter applied, and only if that single filter is /FlateDecode. Proposed
patch (attached) ads support for procesing streams with multiple filters.
However, not all decompressing filters can be removed, and not in all cases
it would be desirable to remove them. The /filterstoremove dictionary lists
filters that are to be processed, and omits filters that are to be preserved
in the output. For streams with multiple filters chained together, the new
version of pdfinflt.ps removes all filters from the first in the
decompressing chain up to, but excluding, the first filter that is to be
preserved. The list of preserved filters, with the reason why these are not
removed, follows:
/RunLengthDecode, /CCITTFaxDecode, /DCTDecode:
These are normaly used for compressing raster images. I assume the main
purpose of this tool is to decompress page streams for debugging, and
decompressing images only adds a huge amount of binary data, making harder
to find and examine content streams. If this is not the case, and getting
raw image data is necessary, simply uncomment the lines corresponding to
these filters.
/JBIG2Decode, /JPXDecode:
There's no (standard) PostScript filter that corresponds to these PDF
filters. (I think) GhostScript implements these filters in the PostScript
interpreter, but not for all platforms, so I added some detection code for
them. The preceding paragraph applies too, so I left the lines corresponding
to these filters commented out.
/Crypt (PDF1.5-specific):
This is a generic interface with decryption plug-ins, and has no PostScript
counterpart (and I don't see how it could have one).

Fix (pdfwrite, PDF interpreter) : Correctly handle different widths for same glyph (continued).
DETAILS :
This patch continues a long story about the handling of different widths for same glyph
in a PDF embedded font.
The last patch in this series was
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-September/004834.html
That patch caused a problem with pdfwrite,
which needs to write an original glyph name
rather than a substituted one.
This change establish a new discipnile for
passing the original glyph name from the PDF interpreter to pdfwrite
inside a substituted glyph name, with using an
implementation specific separator (~GS~).
Before writing a font, we apply copied_drop_extension_glyphs
to remove extended glyph names. We don't like to
modify the font, but choose this minimal solution for now.
A better solution would be to introduce another flag to glyph slots
to mark ones, which to be skipped when writing the embedded font.

Bug 687726.
DETAILS:
The LZWEncode filter failed to use the EarlyChange param but the LZWDecode
did honor this setting. The LZWEncode always acted as if EarlyChange = 1
which since that was the default, worked as long as the Decoder wasn't set
for EarlyChange == 0.
Also, now that the Encoder honors EarlyChange = 0, the tifflzw device needed
to have the flag set correctly (it needs EarlyChange == 1).

Fix initialization of C stack streams that did not perform s_init().
Bug 687709 that could result in a Segmentation Fault (SEGV)
DETAILS:
The normal s_alloc() streams included s_init() on the allocated stream,
but C stack streams could have uninitialized elements in the stream struct.
Since this was UMR related, and affected the clist mode, the jpeg device
and the pswrite device (and possibly some pdfwrite data), this would be
different on different platforms.
The premature 'CloseTarget' action when the stream->close_strm was not
initialized as 0 (false) would show up as a SEGV when the -Z@ was used.

Add TrivialCMYK color space, which simulates standard PostScript CMYK

Fix bug 687711
[DETAILS]
Recent versions of Adobe Acrobat simulate on screen the appearance
of printed documents when the color of an object is specified
in DeviceCMYK color space. The resulting dark colors can be undesirable
for presentation graphics. TrivialCMYK can help when the user had
RGB colors in mind, but for some reason used CMYK colors instead in the
document.

Fix for 687706 Display device 8-bit native incorrectly dithers grays.
This is a partial fix and also needs Dan Coby's fixes to the post
DeviceN halftoning. The DeviceRGBK color model is added.
DETAILS:
Prior to GS 8, the display device 8-bit native format would use 32
gray levels to avoid halftoning, and a 4x4x4 color cube which did use
halftoning. The halftoning logic was changed with the introduction
of DeviceN and in GS 8 both grays and colors were being halftoned.
The DeviceRGBK color model is added and used by the display device
native 8-bit format. The RGB color space to RGBK color model
conversion converts pure RGB grays to the K (black/gray additive)
component. This allows the 32 gray levels to be recognised by the
halftoning logic as being sufficient to avoid halftoning.
Fix for 687718 The tiffsep device fails when the size of gx_color_index is 32 bits
DETAILS:
The comments on bug 687705 "Compile of 8.31 fails on OS/2" point out that the
tiffsep device fails during device initialization if the size of
gx_color_index is 32 bits.
This is due to a recent change which made the default number of components for
this device equal to 8. This works if the size of gx_color_index is 64 bits.
But it fails with 32 bits.
This fix changes the default number of components for this device to be
based upon the size of gx_color_index. It also changes the psdcmyk device
to use the same logic for its default number of components.
This fix also includes changes to doc/Devices.htm which explains that the number
of components will differ based upon the size of gx_color_index (and a link
giving more details on gx_color_index). More information about the parameters
for the tiffsep device is given including an example command line.

This is a partial fix for 687706 Display device 8-bit native incorrectly
dithers grays. Russell Lang is improving the 8-bit (256 color) display
device to allow more shades of gray. This change is required for that
effort.
DETAILS:
The pre 8.00 release had more gray levels for the 8-bit display device
but the pre 8.00 release had other related problems in halftoning. The
fix for those problems eliminated the extra gray levels.
Russell's effort dug up some problems with the handling of halftones
for devices in which the max_color and max_gray values are different
and gray_index is set to an actual component number. This fix corrects
those problems.
Russell has a patch for the remainder of the effort. His changes
involve changing the 256 color display device to use a DeviceRGBK process
color model: red, green, blue and an additive black (gray). New
device color mapping procs also have been created for this process color
model. (This is the first example of this process color model in
Ghostscript.)

Fix (the filling algorithm) : Unite trapezoids if they have a common side.
DETAILS :
Bug 687716 "Assertion fails in gzspotan.c".
The spot analyzer can't reconstruct the topology when there are
two trapezoids with a common side.
We patched the spot decomposition algorithm with
uniting such trapezoids, because (1) it's too hard to
unite them in the "spotan" device, and (2)
the post-condition of the spot decomposer simplifies.
For more details see a new comment in code.
This patch causes a rendering difference.
We believe that a big part of differences happens due to the bug 687717,
which is currently unfixed due to the QA overload.
If the bug 687717 is fixed before this patch,
a small rendering difference can also appear,
because we unite trapezoids by the equality of x_current, x_next,
which have an arithmetic error. Therefore ununited trapezoids
may have a pixel center between them, which is not painted,
but shifting a boundary to x_current, x_next the pixel center
may fall into a trapezoid, then it is covered by the union and painted.
Besides that, with dropout prevention, a pixel set for the union of
two trapezoids may differ from the union of pixel sets for ununited trapezoids
when at least one of the trapezoids is narrow.
Particularly, two narrow trapezoids may paint 2 pixels,
but its (narrow) union does a single pixel.
Contacting trapesoids are not regular in characters,
which only use a dropout prevention,
but the test file of the bug 687698 (same as for 687667)
demonstrates some ones in a CJK TT font,
which composes hieroglyphs from subglyphs with a deformation and shifting.

Fix : Pattern metrics was imprecize.
DETAILS :
Bug 687581 "A pattern truncated".
This bug is a regression since the December 09 2003 revision.
We still think that we insufficiently understand the Adobe's method,
but now we've got one closer to CPSI than it was before the December 09 2003 revision.
Particularly the pattern step now appears better than on December 09 2003.
This patch includes a change, which is well defined by the math :
the usage of float2fixed_rounded instead float2fixed.
It is a part of the PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT stuff.
The rest of the patch is a kind of hewristic.
We guessed that a pattern size should always round up to allow
a similar logics as for a clipping - "any part of pixel inside".
As before December 09 2003, we improved the case with neither skewing nor rotation.
A further work on the general case may be useful.
At last, some old problems, which existed on December 09 2003,
are still unfixed. An example is -r300 298-09.ps :
a line appears outside the pattern box.

Fix SEGV caused by premature free of the bbox device with high level
devices that use the bbox_device of the vector high level device.
Bug 687631.
DETAILS:
The vector device allocated a bbox device, but never incremented the
reference count past zero, so any use of the device that added a forwarding
device with that bbox_device as the target would free the bbox device
when that forwarding device closed. This happens with clipped images
or images that use ROP's since a clipping ROP forwarding could be used.

Also fix a long standing issue in filter closing that failed to flush the

Bug 224134.
DETAILS:
The LZWEncode filter was moved over from an older version of Ghostscript
that actually had a working LZWEncode.
The s_filter_close logic (discussed at length in bug 224134) was fixed
to be consistent with the specification and with Adobe. While the
target stream is not closed (per the specification unless CloseTarget is
true), the specification *DOES* call for an automatic 'flushfile' which
is supposed to be propagated down the filter chain.
Remove the 'makegnu' utility. It is out of date, and recent changes to
the documentation structure have rendered its automation more-or-less
unnecessary. The appropriate steps to convert releases are now

CDevProc|Metrics|Metrics2 did not work with CIDFontType 0.
DETAILS :
Bug 687681 "Character spacing incorrect".
The old implementation, which comes from the gs-cjk team,
has a bug accessing the replaced metrics of a CIDFontType 0 font,
which effectively caused the replaced metric to be ignored with CIDFontType 0 fonts.
1. Bug : With CIDFontType 0, CDevProc|Metrics|Metrics2 was searched
in the descendent type 1 or 2 font rather than in the parent type 9 font.
1.1. A Type 9 font needs to be accessed via a descendent Type 1|2 font
in pfont->procs.glyph_info. Added a new field gs_type1_data_s::parent,
and provided an access through it with a new function gs_font_parent.
1.2. Metrics|Metrics2 is now accessed through gs_font_parent.
1.3. To access CDevProc implemented a new function zchar_get_CDevProc,
which also works through gs_font_parent.
1.4. gs_type1_data_s::parent needs to reset while a type 9 font finalization,
due to a reason, which we could not understand for sure.
Likely descendent fonts appear to have a bigger lifetime than
their parent type 9 font. Probably the descendents are pointed from
somewhere besides FDArray (maybe the font registry ?
or maybe after scaling the type 9 font from a type 9 copy ?),
and we think it's not good.
We believe that they should be released together with the type 9 font.
For now leaving it as it is, working around with a hack notify_remove_font_type9.
1.5. In stable font copies gs_type1_data_s::parent is set to NULL
to simplify the finalization. They are not used now.
2. Bug : In some cases the glyph bytecode was used instead the CID
as a key for searching a Metrics|Metrics2 element (zchar1.c).
3. Bug : The PDF interpreter wrongly scaled W,W2,DW,DW2 for CIDFontTYpe0 (pdf_font.ps).
4. pdfwrite : Improved the generation of W, W2 for CID fonts,
because after implementing (1) re-distilled 401-01.ps rendered incorrectly.
4.1. Prefer a non-zero width when computing DW, DW2 (gdevpdtw.c)
(debugged with 401-01.ps).
4.2. Don't skip zero W, W2 elements. The old code recognized zeros as
unused glyphs, but must do with the real glyph set in the font copy
(debugged with the test file of the bug 687681).
5. zcharstring_outline still ignores CDevProc. We believe that it is correct,
because it is used to compute font features with no dependence on
the relaced metrics.
6. pdfwrite : Allowed a CDevProc callout for CIDFontType 0, because
pdfwrite needs to know replaced widths, as well as it was done a half year ago
for CIDFontType2. Actually after implementing (1) pdfwrite stopped
to work correctly when re-distilling a PDF file with CIDFontType0,
due to now it uses W,W2,DW,DW2.
6.1. A new function z1_set_cache is defined for this purpose
similarly to zchar42_set_cache.
6.2. gs_font_procs::glyph_outline now retrieves the side bearing and width.
Added a new argument 'sbw' to all implementations.
6.2.1. Currently this function extension is implemented for charstring fonts only,
which need to interpret a charstring to retrieve the info :
type 1,2,9, because we don't want to run the type 1 interpreter 2 times
for getting sbw and bbox. Other font types retrieve zeros,
which currently are not used.
6.2.2. type1_cis_get_metrics has been made public.
7. We believe that the implementation of W,W2,DW,DW2 in the PDF interpreter,
which was contributed by the gs-cjk team, is unreasonably overcomplicated,
because it is based on CDevProc, which needs an interpreter callout,
which appears extremily hard from pdfwrite.
For now leaving it as it is (except a small improvement in (3)).
We would like to generate Metrics, Metrics2 instead that.
Note that a small part of this patch (the part (1)) is necessary
for generating Metrics, Metrics2 for CIDFontTYpe 0.

Partial fix for 687657 Text in transparency mask yields rangecheck in
discardtransparencymask.
DETAILS:
Three problems have been found with this file.
The rangecheck is actually a secondary effect. The actual problem
was a typecheck in setrgbcolor. However that error occurred inside
a stopped context.
1) The file has a mask group. This group specifies a color space (CS).
The previous code set the current color space to the given value.
However the FillColorSpace and StrokeColorSpace were not set. As a
result, a DeviceRGB color space was being used instead of the specified
DeviceGray color space. This resulted in a mismatch in the number
of operands when the color as set (1 versus 3). The fix consists of
setting both StrokeColorSpace and FillColorSpace when a mask group
contains a CS value.
2) The file uses scn for setting color values for a DeviceGray color
space. FillColor and StrokeColor can contain wither a single numeric
value (which is common but not required for DeviceGray) or an array
of values for all other color spaces. The scn and SCN operators were
always assuming that these values always contained arrays. The fix
consists of checking for the non array cases in the operators.
3) The appearance produced by Ghostscript with the test file does not
match Adobe. A solid magenta rectangle is produced by Ghostscript.
Adobe shows magenta text. This problem is NOT fixed by this patch.
Note: If the test file is opened with Illustrator CS and then saved,
Ghostscript does produced the same appearance as Adobe for the saved
file. The reason for the differences are not currently known. However
there are some more details in the bug report on this issue.

Fix for 687403 Poor halftoning for 16 color (4 bit) devices.
DETAILS:
This bug is a brother to bug 687390. That bug was for 256
color (8 bit) devices. Russell Lang suggested testing the 4 bit
devices and they were found to have problems caused by the same
logical error. The halftoning logic assumes that all components
for a device have the same number of shades. This was not true
for the implementations of the 4 and 8 bit color devices.
This fix converts the 16 color devices to using a 2x2x2 cube.
Note: A possible future enhancement would be to convert these
devices to using a 4 level gray for shades of pure gray (R = G
= B).
Fix for 687664 tiffsep sometimes producing apparently corrupt files
sometimes.
DETAILS:
The tiffsep device did not properly handle multiple page input files.
This change adds multiple page handling to the tiffsep device. Most
of the various tiff related routines already properly handled multiple
pages so changes were only required inside the tiffsep device.
The changes consists of:
1. Moving several variables which were local to tiffsep_print_page
into the tiffsep device structure and adding initialization. These
variables provide state information to the general tiff handling
routines and the file pointers for the separation files.
2. Add logic for determining if the output file name includes a
numeric format specification. If so then we create individual separation
files for each page. If not then we create a single file for each
separation.
3. A device close procedure was added to ensure that the separation
files were closed.

Changes bbox device forwarding logic so that get_page_device requests
are always forwarded to the target. Fixes bug #687421. Note: this change
backs out a change made to gdevnfwd.c between GS 4.70 and 4.80, with a
confusing explanation in the change notes. Changes to the page device
behavior in forwarding devices would not be surprising. See the code

Fix for 687625 Incorrect spot color behavior in tiffsep. Garbage
text was being printed for the spot color names.
DETAILS:
The problem was with the allocation and GC enumeration logic for the
storage for the storage for the spot color names. Thus the problem
was only apparent after the GC relocation logic had executed.
The fix involves adding enumeration logic for the gs_param_string
structure and correcting the allocation of storage for the data.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Correctly handle different widths for same glyph.
DETAILS :
Bug 687672 "incorrect font rendering".
An Encoding may specify various character codes for same glyph, and
Widths may specify different widths for those codes.
Thus same glyph may be used with different widths.
This patch continues a long story about the handling of different widths for same glyph,
which includes my old hacks (pdf_font.ps Revision 1.22 and 1.26)
and Alex's change pdf_font.ps Revision 1.57 .
Alex defines new glyph names for same glyph to resolve the widths conflict.
After the Alex's change my old hacks appear low useful, and can be removed.
This patch
1. Removes the hacks;
2. Improves the Alex's change with the case when CharStrings has no referred glyph
(debugged with 1_2001.pdf)
3. Improves the Alex's change with minimizing a number of newly generated names,
because the test file of the bug 687672 maps many charcodes to .notdef with various widths.

DETAILS :
BBox device needs a library context for gs_next_id called from gx_image_enum_common_init.
It was not provided when the bbox device has no target.
We assume that the bbox device behavior doesn't depend on availability of a memory pointer -
likely it is so from reading the code.

3. Dont need adjust_swapped_boundary for clipping rectangles (gxshade6.c).
4. INTERPATCH_PADDING is enlarged to half pixel. See comment in code.

This is needed to make pswrite write to a printer queue.
Ignore MediaPosition when selecting a media type. Adobe CPSI does it this
way, and the PLRM suggests that this is advisory only. Bug 687547 for
customer 780.
DETAILS:
Adobe CPSI also ignores this parameter without generating any error or
warning. The PLRM says:
This parameter does not override the normal media selection process
described in the text, but if specified it will be honored--provided it can
satisfy the input media request in a manner consistent with normal media
selection--even if the media source it specifies is not the best available
match for the requested attributes.
Since an input PS file is unlikely to have a PPD that accurately reflects
the 'slot' numbers of our InputAttributes dictionary, we also ignore this
option and instead give the 'best fit' based on size and orientation (and
other parameters that may exist).

A new implementation of shadings, step 83.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for the bug
687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background".
It fixes various secondary problems :
1. gx_default_fill_linear_color_scanline could miss pixels at the end of the scanline
(bug 687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background", the right boundary).
2. decompose_linear_color could miss pixels when swapping axes of the clip rectangle.
(bug 687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background", the top boundary).
Defined adjust_swapped_boundary and applied for this purpose.
3. mesh_padding cauld miss pixels when swapping axes of the padding.
Defined adjust_swapped_boundary and applied for this purpose.
4. Moved the fill adjustment from gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path to gsshade.c
and disabled it in the NEW_SHADINGS build, because NEW_SHADINGS build never
needs it. Instead that it applies mesh_padding.
The new function gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path_adjusted access the new functionality
from outside gsshade6.c .
Also renamed gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path_adjusted with gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path
for a better reflection of its new purpose.
5. Implemented VD_TRACE_DOWN in try_device_linear_color.
The old code did a misleading drawing.
6. Fixed a conflict of the 's' flag in the -T argument.
Changed the documentation to reflect that.

DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent,
because new code is disabled wirth configuration switches
listed below.
1. FINE_STEM_COMPLEXES
1.1. Stem complex could miss a common boundary.
1.2. Stem width could be distorsed due to a common boundary missing
(Bug 687578 "T1 hinter disturbs stem width".).
1.3. Overall hint (if presents) should have a bigger priority.
2. ALIGN_BY_STEM_MIDDLE
2.1. A stem middle could be shifted too much due to
independent grid-fitting of boundaries and the change 1.2 -
see 'i' in ccc-.pdf attached to Bug 687578.
Fixed with an improved alignment with t1_hinter__align_stem_to_grid.
2.2. This isn't applicable for top|bottom zones from the TT stem recognizer,
because we want to force outer boundaries to keep the glyph height.
2.3. 033-52-5873.pdf defines "pseodo-stem" hints,
which have only one boundary corresponding to real poles.
recognize them with t1_hinter__mark_existing_stems,
and don't apply the improved alignment,

which we want to force the uniform glyph height.

Add some job server related support. The -dJOBSERVER option defines the
^D to start a new encapsulated job, and the ^D is changed to be a self-
delimitting token in the scanner. Fixes 687079.
DETAILS:
For backward compatibility, -dNOOUTERSAVE is retained, but this does
*NOT* define the ^D to start a new encapsulated job. As specified in the
updates to doc/Use.htm, in order to avoid an /invalidrestore error,
the input should be from stdin otherwise the restore done as part of the
new job encapsulation (restore returns to the server state) will encounter
a file object that was created after the encapsulation save.
This allows 289-01.ps to complete IFF the -dJOBSERVER option is used
during regression testing. Thus the only (eventual) regression change
will be:

Fix for 687640 Unable to set default halftones for PDF.
DETAILS:
To support both PS level 1 and PS level 2 interpreting modes,
Ghostscript defines two routines for setting a default halftone.
PS level 1 does not support resources. Thus for PS 1 we have
.setdefaultscreen which sets a default halftone which is defined
inside of gs_init.ps. For PS 2, we have .setdefaulthalftone
which is similar to .setdefaultscreen except that it also checks
for a default halftone resource.
The PDF interpreter's handler for the /HT gstate parameter
called .setdefaultscreen if the parameter value was /Default.
This fix changes the handler to use .setdefaulthalftone instead.
This results in the PDF interpreter using the default halftone
resource if it is present.

Implementing Visual Trace for 'stroke'.
DETAILS :
It is necessary for analyzing the Bug 687584,
and it is useful in general.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix for 687607 Text missing with TextALphaBits=2 and tiffsep device.
DETAILS:
The TextAlphaBits and GraphicsAlphaBits device parameters were not working
for devices with a depth of more than 32 bits. The fix involves replacing
the copy_alpha device procs in the 40, 48, 56, and 64 bit memory devices
with the gx_default_copy_alpha routine. These devices previously had a
copy_alpha routine which did nothing. This was a mistake from when these
devices were created as part of the DeviceN work.
Fix for security problems with user parameters, in particular the
/PermitFileReading array. Also corrects handling of parameter arrays
that contain a 'mark'. Fixes bug 687559. Thanks to mat. Gh. Savulescu
(SaGS) for the bug report and for a suggested patch.

Version 8.31 (2004-08-28)
This is a beta release of the development tree. It contains a number
of new features and is made available for those interested in testing
the new version before it becomes the next stable release.
This second beta contains a large number of bug fixes over the earlier
8.30 version.
New features since the last stable release:
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 GridFitTT for information on this
feature.
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the encryption parameter documentation for more
information.
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.
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the Rinkj section for more information.
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
The following bug numbers were open at
the time of release:
Add recent new files to the listings in the documentation.

Fix half-toning for display device, bug 687629.
DETAILS:
Prior to DeviceN, dither_gray/max_gray were used if ncomp==1.
With DeviceN, dither_gray/max_gray are used if gray_index >= 0.
The display device was not correctly setting gray_index for
native 1-bit/pixel format.

Fix for image matrix having negative values. Thanks to Len Sorenson
for submitting this patch (author unknown). Bug #687411.
DETAILS:
The error is using floor to round a value without checking if it might
be negative first. There were actually two places that did this even
though the patch that was originally submitted only was for one of them.

Close the font file after the font has been processed (loaded into VM).
This prevents a problem with using up too many file handles detected on
Solaris. Thanks to Alex Cherepanov for the patch. Bug #687066.
DETAILS:
The patch has no effect on the cache. There is no point of not closing
the file after the content has been copied to memory.
On GNU/Linux GS has 250K VMThreshold and 1024 handles. That's enough.
On Windows GS has 1M VNThreshold and 512 handles. This is still OK.
On Solaris GS has 1M VMThreshold and 256 handles. Handles can be used up
before garbage collection starts. The following program fails on Solaris.
(a)(w) file closefile
1000 { (a)(r) file pop } repeat
Dependence on VMThreshold indicates that GC is not activated by
open(2) failing with EMFILE . This is a real bug, the patch is
just a work around that we may need to fix later, but not likely to
be a problem.

Fix to close streams at EOF (not only filter streams), as required by
the PLRM. Thanks to Alex Cherepanov for this patch. Bug #687505.
DETAILS:
This is similar to a patch that I had developed and tested prior to
Alex's patch. I had tested my patch, then Alex's against the regression
suite and determined that it does not cause any differences.
Alex's patch conforms to my analysis of the problem and the fix.

DETAILS :
Bug 687604 "/invalidfont in --show-- error".

wrongly defined in lib.mak .
Also changed the including of stdio.h in gslibctx.h to
a C library file (IMO it should be so).

Allow the display device row alignment to be changed from the
default 4 bytes to 8, 16, 32 or 64 bytes.
DETAILS:
If the image is allocated in video display memory, an alignment
such as 16 bytes (128-bit memory) may be required.
This is implemented by making the underlying memory device
use a larger width than the display device.

Changed iapi to use a void* instead of a gs_main_instance pointer.
Changed iapi to use a void* instead of a gs_main_instance pointer.
Cleaned up warning related to function pointer signature miss-matches.
DETAILS:
iapi.h no longer defines a type for gs_main_instance *
This will likely need to be put back in for backward compatibility.
The iapi interface now uses a void * instance handle reflecting
that it is an opaque type to the outside world.
Note that function pointer argument miss-matches generate warnings in
msvc but not in gcc. These have been fixed.
Enable progressive updates for the image window of
the MS-Windows ghostscript command line program.
Change update method to use a Windows timer.
DETAILS:
In the MS-Windows GUI executable (i.e. text window managed by
ghostscript rather than using a system console window), the image
window is progressively updated every second or so as each page
is drawn. The console executable did not do this.
The update code for both GUI and console executables is changed to
use a timer. The display update code is called whenever particular
device drawing operations happen, and if a timer is not already
running, it starts an update timer. The minimum update interval
is shortened from 1s to 100ms. The time to refresh the window is
measured, and the update interval may be increased to make sure
that updates account for no more than 10% of processing.
The update interval is decreased if subsequent updates are
much quicker. The timer is stopped by any sync.
Fix (pdfwrite) : Check for glyph name conflicts while font merging.
DETAILS :
Bug 687597 pdf created by pdfwrite has garbled text (spr 3994)
1. When a document embeds 2 fonts with same name, same hinting
and same glyph names but different charstrings, the old code
didn't compare charstrings and erroneusely merged fonts.
2. pdf_obtain_font_resource_encoded didn't compare the hinting
because same_type1_hinting computed a too strong condition
(this change is not strongly neccessary for the bug).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Wrong glyph positions with CIDFontType2 with no vmtx.
DETAILS :
Bug 687603 vertical text misplaced after distilling .
1. When computing the glyph position, must account that we write
DW2[0 0] when there is no vmtx.
2. Computing a DW2, the advance got a wrong sign.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

2004-08-18 04:48 Dan Coby
Implementation of 687496 transparency and CMYK support.
DETAILS:
This change extends our current implementation of the PDF 1.4
transparency to include blending in a DeviceCMYK color space.
There is also a partial implementation of a DeviceGray blending
space. However I do not have a method of generating test data
for a DeviceGray blending space. Currently the choice of a
blending color space is based upon the process color model of
the output device.
Note: There two differences expected in the regression testing.
These are with ai2.pdf and dina3_watermark.pdf.
Add PDFSTEP debug aid. Prints a step number at end of PDFDEBUG line, and
sync's the display, then reads a number of steps to skip ( == single
step). This is rudimentary but somewhat useful. Invoked with -dPDFSTEP.

Handle invalid PDF's that use 0.0 font scaling (Tf operator). Fixes bug
687606 for customer number 780.
DETAILS:
If the font scale is 0.0, then just use a very small value. This may result
in a small unwanted dot, but that is probably not an issue since it is
an invalid value. The better approach for 'invisible' text is to use
TextRenderingMode 3. The 'pdfformaterror' function is used to complain
about this so the problem might get fixed by the PDF Creator.

Add support for compiling with the beta of Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005, also known as MSVC 8.
DETAILS:
Add new MSVC_MINOR_VERSION=1 to distinguish Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003 (MSVC 7.1) from Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
(MSVC 7.0)
Add new MSVC_VERSION=8 for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Ignore deprecated warnings from MSVC 8 with /wd4996, because
insecure CRTL functions like strcpy and sprintf are now
marked as deprecated.
Remove /Ze which is always the default and is unknown to MSVC 8.
Replace /O with /O2. The former is not documented for MSVC 5 - 8
and is unknown to MSVC 8.
Remove /Gs and /Ge for MSVC 8. Stack checking is now always done.
Added memory pointers to gsmalloc use by jpg2000 interface.
DETAILS:
Added jpx_memory to the stream state since the memory pointer
in a normal stream object in often NULL indicating a stack object.
When scaling factors of /ImageMatrix in a image mask for ImageType3 are

Fix bug 687038 that resulted in a crash if the initial device was not
pdfwrite.
DETAILS:
This was almost fixed by recent changes to gs_pdfwr.ps and
gs_setpd.ps for bugs 687325, 687436 and 687458.
Unfourtunately, the initialization of parameters only occurred
if the initial device was pdfwrite. A second patch removing
the initial device constraint on the '1010' .schedule_init
process was committed and fixes the problem.
Note that there was a work-around that if -dPDFSETTINGS=... was
given on the command line, it also worked.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
none, since we don't test for this usage.

Added memory_t pointers to gs_malloc() gs_free() calls in
devices that aren't normally built.
fixed bug with iapi, removed gs_lib_finit()'s call of gs_malloc_release.
DETAILS:
The problem is that single instance and multi instance interfaces
both call gs_to_exit() with different meanings.
If gs_lib_init0 was called then it should malloc_release
single instance exit library means free all.
If the iapi interface was used then the memory
should not be freed since gs_lib_finit() and gs_to_exit()
are called when the interpreter is exited but there is a
seperate delete_instance call that should free the memory

Windows only:
check_interrupts() with a mem pointer to access the poll function.
DETAILS :
This is windows specific since only windows uses the polling
function in check_interrupts() macros. If the gs_dll interface
is used then a single instance is forced since the design of that
interface forces one thread per process. The iapi interface can not
but enabled for more than one thread until the stream calling check_interrupts()
calls are fixed.
process_interrupts(NULL) calls are currently hacked to access a global memory
pointer intended for access to stderr. This is a place holder until the
stream object changed that guarantee a valid memory pointer in process_stream
calls are committed. Basically it is common to allocate a stream object on the
stack and use it in a functional manor with an uninitialized memory pointer in the
object.
gs_memory_t pointer additions for msvc build.
DETAILS :
Mostly gs_malloc() and gs_free() additions of a gs_memory_t argument.
Not gsdll.c forces a single instance.
Addition of a Library Context to start the process of removing globals.
DETAILS :
The goals is to remove globals from the system, this includes static
globals that would hinder multiple threads from running at once.
gs_lib_ctx is intended to be used as the opaque "handle" object
that a client would use to associate with a thread running through
the library. Independent of a gs or a language switch build, this
needs a new iapi2.h that allows the use of better job control from the
client side.
gs_lib_ctx is stashed under the gs_memory_t object and all memory objects
used by a thread refer to the same gs_lib_ctx. This storage location was
choosen as a convenence since a memory_t pointer is common throughout the
system. Most of the turmoil is adding memory_t pointers to functions that
used global variables but didn't have a memory pointer.
FILE stdin, stdout, stderr are one per process by default.
stdin and stdout may be changed but stderr may not.
FILE stderr is one per process and shouldn't be changed.
Note the stderr_fn is also one per process, changing this function pointer
will not help as most users of stderr printing do not have a thread handle.
Changing to a thread local storage mechanism can solve this.
gs_id's are currently per thread with each thread starting over at 1.
This can be moved to per process with mutexes if so desired.
A library context has a pointer to the top_of_system the intent is that this
a void handle avaliable to make top of the system calls without knowing the
data type. In a postscript only build this would be gs_main_instance but
in a language switched build this would be an object above that main_universe.
Other members of gs_lib_ctx_t are nothing more than global objects relocated
to this "bag". gs_name_table, dict_autoexpand are examples of this. There
are a few more globals that will be moved.
At the moment iapi is still constrained to one thread, since some of the
globals haven't been removed yet.
The display device's callback function setting is supported for now
but this interface should be changed to a sDEVICE style call.
gs_memory_t is the base type the abstract type gs_raw_memory_t is gone,
this means that all memory types must derive from gs_memory_t.
In addition to a pointer to the gs_lib_ctx there is a pointer to a
non_gc_memory this will always point to a non garbage collected memory,
it maybe the current object or an object below the current gargabe
collected memory space. This can be used were the previous code
used the global gs_malloc_memory. gs_malloc() now takes a memory pointer,
it finds the non-gc memory from a valid memory pointer and allocates from it.
The gdevbit device has an improved algorthym for converting from cmyk to rgb,
this is never used by postscript but for pcl rops it puts the k plane into rgb.
Add variable declaration for the path to the ghostscript executable to
the unix wrapper scripts. This simplifies changing the invocation name.
Partial fix for bug 686863.
Fix : .OrigFont was not provided when an embeded font is defined.
DETAILS :
Bug 687598 "Courier CE font problems".
The test case embeds a font with an instandard FontMatrix [ 0.00039 0 0 0.00039 0 0 ].
For passing it to pdfwrite, the procedure .completefont adds the
/.OrigFont key to the font dictionary. However the key was added after
.buildfont1 is called, and the device did not recieve the information at the time.
This patch moves the .OrigFont setting ahead to the .buildfont* call.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

More work upon 687551 Implement the remaining TN 5044 procedures.
This commit implements the setcmykoverprint procedure.
DETAILS:
We received a posting against 687551. This posting indicated that some
files in arXiv.org were failing with the current version of Ghostscript
but worked with older versions. The files were all created by a package
called Canvas by Deneba Systems. They failed because setcmykoverprint
was not defined.
Evidently the people at Deneba Systems did not read the following comment
from page 15 of TN 5044:
"Note The setcmykoverprint operator has not been adopted by the industry.
It remains on the list of color convention operators because it has some
perceived usefulness, but it is not supported by any shipping host-based
separation applications today."
The even stranger detail is that the Deneba Systems people have a
dummy version of this procedure that does not implement overprinting.
Thus if they do not need overprinting, they have no need to use this
procedure.
The files also fail with Distiller 6.0, Illustrator CS, and Photoshop 6.0.
However this change allows these files to work with current Ghostscript.
The change consists of putting in a dummy version of the setcmykoverprint
procedure. This version does not actually implement overprinting.

Bug 687599 "/rangecheck in --string--".
This patch increases the maximal 'loca' size to 64528 bytes,

1. Fix (PS interpreter) : The FontBBox validation check was too strong.
2. Fix (pdfwrite) : Explicitely set line parameters in a charproc.
DETAILS :
Bug 687594 "Barcode Width".
See comments in the new code.
This solution is a partial one.
With the current architecture of the Postscript interpreter,
a device can't recognize whether a PS charproc sets line parameters or not.
Therefore we copy to PDF the values, which appear at a first use
within a charproc. The old code copied only values, which differ from defaults.
The new behavior appears closer to Adobe Distiller.
A complete solution should copy the PS behavior to PDF,
i.e. the PDF charproc should set those and only those parameters,
which are set by the PS charproc. For doing that we need flags in the graphic state structure
per each graphic state parameter, reset all them before running a charproc,
and set whenever a parameter is changed. Without the flag, when the charproc sets
a value equal to the old one (which was inherited from the context of
the glyph usage), the event of setting is lost and causes a line width and other problems.
We don't want such a deep change now, and go with the partial solution,
because the partial solution appears enough for customer's needs.
Likely Adobe Distiller have same architectural problem, and resolves it in same manner.

Fix for 687572 AFPL Ghostscript 8.14 fails with some PDF files.
DETAILS:
The given file uses the scn operator inside of a form. The scn
operator is used for defining a color with DeviceN color spaces.
The scn operator uses .pdfcount (inside of scresolve) to determine
the number of parameters. However inside a form, there is an extra
dictionary on the stack.
The fix consists of adjusting pdfemptycount (which is used by .pdfcount)
to match the stack depth while executing a form. After the form is
executed, pdfemptycount is returned to its previous value.

We use the OrderResources parameter to decide about (not)converting Type 1
into Type1C (i.e. into CFF), because we want to write some PDF1.2 objects
into a ps2write output (for example - function objects,
because we don't want to convert them in C code).
3. The parameter OrderResources isn't a good switch for deciding about CFF
due to the parameter name, but currently we don't want to define one more parameter.
Maybe will improve it later.
4. Fixed a bug, which wrote "/Length1 -1" with Type1C.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Provide a delayed stream writing.
DETAILS :
The ps2write requires length of streams to be written before the stream.
This implements pdf_begin_data_stream with opening a stream object in a temporary file,
using a methgod similar to pdf_enter_substream.
With the new mechanizm the output file doesn't need to be positionable,
and the generated PDF appears more effective because the number of objects is smaller.
Also fixed a bug in gdevpdfu.c : crashed when encrypted with no page compression.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Discard the output file seekability requirement in the /PS pdfmark implementation.
DETAILS :

Fix to pdfwrite initialization to make sure initial distiller params are
incorporated into the device. Also add collection of distillerparams when
building currentpagedevice. Fixes bugs 687325, 687436 and 687458.
DETAILS:
Earlier change to use .putdeviceparamsonly in gs_pdfwr.ps so that the
use of setdistillerparams does not reinitialize the device caused the
initial parameter settings to not be set in the device. The change to
gs_pdfwr.ps accomplishes this.
Part of the investigation by Igor Melichev discovered that the values of
disillerparams would not be correctly reflected in the pagedevice. The
change to gs_setpd.ps collects the currentdistillerparams when the device
is pdfwrite and merges new values into the pagedevice dictionary. The
method is similar to that used for the dynamicppkeys such as PageCount
that can be changed by the device. For the distillerparams, the values
are changed dynamically by setdistillerparams.

Fixes bug 687451 "default resolution for display device"
Set the display resolution from the MS-Windows display resolution,
using a device parameter -dDisplayResolution=DPI.
DETAILS:
The initial resolution must be set in display_put_params.
Setting it in display_open is too late because this leaves
the device resolution and currentpagedevice reporting
different values. Callbacks can't be used in display_put_params
because the callback structure is not yet initialized.
This leaves a device parameter on the command line as
the cleanest implementation.
If HWResolution is set (e.g. from -r72), then use that.
Otherwise, if DisplayResolution is set, use that in the
initial display_put_params. After that, ignore all further
use of DisplayResolution.
The Windows client adds -dDisplayResolution=DPI to the
command lines, similar to the existing -dDisplayFormat.
The Windows client gets the resolution from the GDI.
The default Windows display resolution is 96dpi (the same
as the display device). This can be changed to 120dpi by
selecting "large fonts", or other values in recent versions
of Windows.
Fixes bug 687562 "vector devices close output file incorrectly".
Vector devices open the output file with gx_device_open_output_file,
so should close it with gx_device_close_output_file, not fclose.
This was preventing pswrite from correctly closing special
files such as "%printer%Printer Name" on Windows and OS/2.

In the Windows %printer% IODevice, the existing thread handle
is closed automatically when the thread finishes. Duplicate
the thread handle so we always have a valid handle for waiting
and closing.
DETAILS:
When the thread finishes, the CRTL _endthread is closing
the existing handle. During debugging, it was found that
waiting on the thread handle was Ok because the thread
was still running, but by the time CloseHandle ran the
thread handle was invalid.
IODevices are effectively static, so iodev->state is initialized
once at the start of the interpreter. There is no need to
test if iodev->state is valid.

Fix for 687565 Incorrect equiv color for Orange in Altona test file.
The altona test file Altona_Visual_bb_1v1_x3.pdf contains a spot color
called Orange. An incorrect equivalent CMYK color is being determined for
this spot color. The result is that the spot color is being displayed as
black for the devices which handle spot colors and attempt to determine
equivalent CMYK colors for the spot colors. These are the psdcmyk,
tiffsep, and display (with -dDisplayFormat=16#a0800) devices.
DETAILS:
The Orange spot color is used in two different DeviceN color spaces. The
first color space has components named 'None'. These components are used
as part of a special feature described in section 4.5 of the PDF 1.5 spec.
This feature uses the None components as a means for passing values to
the color space's alternate tint transform function. In the example in
the spec., these values are an equivalent color in the alternate color
space.
Our logic for determining an equivalent CMYK color for a spot colorant
sets all color components except for the desired spot color to zero and
then uses the tint transform function to form an alternate color. This
results in the equivalent CMYK color being black since the None values
contain the real information for the tint transform function.
This change consists of check for the presence of DeviceN color space
components named None. If any are detected then the equivalent CMYK
color logic exits rather than determine an invalid color. This is
sufficient for this case since the second color space which contains
the Orange spot color does not have the None components. For the
general case, a solution needs to be found which samples colors given
actual values for the None components.

Log Message:
Fixes bug 686956 Display device does not support separations.
Add support for separations to display device.
This requires a change to the display callback structure.
Support is maintained for clients using version 1 of the structure.
DETAILS:
Add support for a new color format, DISPLAY_COLORS_SEPARATION,
which supports CMYK and spot colors. A new callback
display_separation() is used to tell the client about
the names and CMYK equivalents of each separation.
The callback structure version number is incremented to 2
to show that has changed. The display devices checks
whether it is passed the older v1 structure or the newer
v2 structure, and only calls the new separation callback
if it was given a v2 structure.
Only 8-bit/pixel, up to 8 components and 64-bit depth are supported.
In the Windows and gtk+ clients, a subset of these 8 separations
can be selected for display.
The new code is based on the tiffsep device.

Fix for 687553 rangecheck in .sethalftone5 and SeparationOrder.
DETAILS:
If a file specifies a type 5 halftone and the SeparationOrder device
parameter is specified then a rangecheck can occur. This happens when
the halftone includes two or more colorants that are not in the
SeparationOrder parameter or one colorant and a 'Default' value.
The problem occurs because the get_color_comp_index device procs use
GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS to indicate colorants which are not
being imaged due to the colorant not be included in the list for the
SeparationOrder device parameter. However the
gs_color_name_component_number routine was using the same value to
indicate 'Default' halftones.
The fix consists of modifying gs_color_name_component_number to look
for GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS from the get_color_comp_index
device proc. If found then the component is treated the same as
a component that is not present in the device. The halftoning
logic is only concerned with the colorants which are actually being
used by the device.

This change implements the enhancements described in 542629 CMYK
tiff driver and 687440 Support for outputting PDF separations
separately. This change implements three devices: tiffgray
which produces an 8 bit gray output with uncompressed data,
tiff32nc which produces 32 bit CMYK with uncompressed data, and
tiffsep which produces a tiffgray file for each separation
(CMYK and spot colors) and it also produces a CMYK output file
which is created using the CMYK image data plus the spot
colors image data. The spot colors are converted to CMYK using
the logic in 687431.
DETAILS:
This change requires that 687504 be included in the sources.
The tiffgray and tiff32nc devices are logically similar to the
tiff24nc device except for the use of gray and CMYK process
color models.
The tiffsep device uses much of the logic which has been created
for the psdcmyk and spotcmyk devices. These include logic for
implementing the SeparationOrder setpagedevice parameter 687423,
logic for determining an equivalent CMYK color to spot colors
687431, and automatically detecting spot colors (without requiring
that they be specified via the SeparationColorNames setpagedevice
parameter 687504.
The tiffsep device also prints the names of any spot colors
detected within a document to stderr. (stderr is also use for the
output from the bbox device.) For each spot color the name of
the color is printed preceded by '%%SeparationName: '. This
provides a mechanism for external applications to be informed about
the names of spot colors with a document.
Due to the 64 bit pixel size limitation, the tiffsep can handle
a maximum of 8 colorants per pass. However it is possible to
handle more than 8 colorants by doing multiple passes. For each
pass after the first one, the names of all of the separations need
to be specified via the SeparationColorNames parameter and the
names of the desired separations need to be specified via the
SeparationOrder parameter. When colorants are selected via the
SeparationOrder parameter, the composite CMYK output contains
the equivalent CMYK data only from the selected colorants. It is
possible to create an overall CMYK composite for more than 8
colorants by then adding together (via an external application like
imagemagick) the composite CMYK output files from the individual
Ghostscript passes.
Internally each spot color is assigned a spot color number. These
numbers start with 0 for the first spot color. The spot color
numbers are assigned in the same order as the names are printed to
stderr (see above). This order also matches the ordering in the
SeparationColorNames list, if this parameter is specified. The
spot color numbers are not affected by the SeparationOrder parameter.
This device creates multiple output files. The file specified
via the OutputFile command line parameter is used to contain the
composite CMYK equivalent. File names for the separations for the
CMYK planes are created by appending '.Cyan.tif', '.Magenta.tif'
'.Yellow.tif' or '.Black.tif' to the to the end of the file name
specified via the OutputFile parameter. File names for the spot
color separation files are created by appending '.sn.tif' (where n
is the spot color number) to the end of the file name specified via
the OutputFile parameter.
The src/gdevtsep.c source file does have a compile time option for
including/not the '.tif' at the end of the created file name. It
also has a compile time option for using the name of the spot color
as part of the file name. However this is not enabled since there
may be conflicts with spot color names (in which Adobe allows almost
anything) and the operating system's conventions on file naming.
This change consists of the new source module src/gdevtsep.c,
changes to devs.mak for defining the new devices, changes to the
various top level make files for including these devices in their
DEVICE_DEVS definitions, and changes to the documentation files.

Fix for 687534 Unable to determine equivalent CMYK for spot colors
that are only used with overprint.
DETAILS:
The given test file uses spot colors. However the psdcmyk device
was creating output files which did not contain equivalent CMYK
colors for the spot colors. The cause was that the previous
version of the logic was capturing the equivalent CMYK colors
when the psdcmyk device's high drawing procs were called. However
if overprinting is enabled, then the overprint device was inserting
its own versions of these routines. Since it only took one call
to a high level drawing handler, the previous logic would capture
the equivalent CMYK colors if there were any drawing operations
with a spot color that did not have overprinting enabled.
The fix consists of moving the capturing of the equivalent CMYK
colors to a new device proc. This new device proc is called
update_spot_equivalent_colors. This device proc is called whenever
a Separation or a DeviceN color space is installed.
The default version of the proc does nothing. Thus there is only
a small amount of overhead added for the installation of Separation
and DeviceN color spaces for devices which do not need the equivalent
CMYK colors for spot colors.
Most of the change consists of the standard details of adding a
new device proc. There are several places that have to be updated
when this is done. The documentation in doc/Drivers.htm was updated
to include this new proc. The high level drawing handlers in the
psdcmyk devices were removed and a new psd_update_spot_equivalent_colors
procedure was added. Some minor changes were made in the logic in
gsequivc.c since it is no longer necessary to scan through base and
alternate color spaces looking for Separation and DeviceN color spaces.
The comments at the beginning of gsequivc.c was changed to reflect
the changes in the logic for capturing equivalent CMYK colors for
spot colors.
Minor change to avoid a spurious compiler warning about 't' used before
initialized. Fixes bug #687412.
DETAILS:
This is an invalid warning, since 't' is always initialized before use,
however the extensive use of macros confuses some compilers. IMO, this
is an abuse of macros, but this is endemic in the older GS code.

687504 Enhancement: Imaging spot colors without using the
SeparationColorNames parameter.
DETAILS:
The purpose of this enhancement is to provide an example of how
to implement imaging spot colors without requiring that they be
specified in advance via the SeparationColorNames setpagedevice
parameter. Note: Spot colors are only supported on a few devices
which have output file formats which allow for spot colors. These
are currently the psdcmyk, spotcmyk, and xcfcmyk devices.
This commit only implements this feature on the psdcmyk, spotcmyk
and devicen devices.
In order to implement this feature, a device needs to be able to
allocate image buffer memory for each colorant and to detect when
a new colorant is being used inside of a color space. The
implementation has the following pieces:
1. The handling of the MaxSeparation setpagedevice parameter was
extended. Previously this parameter was always set to one. For
most devices it now indicates the number of colorants being used
by the device. For most devices this is a fixed quantity, however
for the psdcmyk device, this parameter can be used to tell the
device to allocate image buffer memory for up to eight colorants.
(The eight colorant limit is due to the fact that the psdcmyk
device uses 8 bits per colorant and we currently have a 64 bit
maximum pixel size.)
2. The devices already have a 'get_color_comp_index' routine which
is used to query if a colorant is supported by the device. However
this routine is used for both real components in color spaces and also
for some special cases. For instance, the same halftone may be used
either for a cyan or a red colorant. To handle this case, the halftoning
setup logic will query the get_color_comp_index routine to check if
cyan is supported by the device. If not then a query is made to see
if the device supports red. By monitoring the names of the components
passed to get_color_comp_index routine, a device can detect when a new spot
color is being used. However it is necessary to be able to detect
the special cases so that the device does not believe that it has a
'red' spot color. To do this the third parameter of the
get_color_comp_index device proc was logically modified to indicate
if a name represents a name actually in a color space or one of the
special case situations. Previously this parameter was not being used.
3. The get_color_comp_index routine for the psdcmyk device was
modified to look for new spot colors and to add then to its list of
colorants if there was space available. Note: This also required
that the psdcmyk device have its own structure descriptor, pointer
enumeration and relocation procedures. The macro which was used to
define the psdcmyk and psdrgb devices needed to be changed since the
previous macro used the st_device_printer structure descriptor instead
of the new structure descriptor for the psd devices.

3. Set a waeaker angle threshold in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
4. Allow an offset fuzz in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
5. Align upper/lower horizontal stems by the upper/lower edge.
6. A dependency was missed in lib.mak .
DETAILS :
Bug 687419 "poor font rendering on X11 with gs 8.14".
The intention of this change is to improve the rendering quality
with TextAlphaBits > 1, but actually it modifies glyph rendering in all cases.
1.
The test file of the bug 687419 shows that we had 3
inconsistent requirements :
- the analigned glyph origin;
- uniform glyph size;
- and contrast stems.
Since an uniform glyph height looks critical,
we drop the analygned Y-coordinate of the glyph origin.
In other words, now we ever align
the Y-coordinate of the glyph origin to pixels.
This also reduces the number of glyph raster variants in the cache.
2.
The old interpolation algorithm could cause
significant distortions with flex-like serifs, which are not marked with flex.
The character 'L' in the test document of the bug 687419 demonstrates that.
If the path goes outside the interpolation interval
and have no turns, now we shift the "outer" parts rather than
breaking the path at extremal poles. (We wanted this change
a long ago but haven't got a strong reason for it.)
3.
The threshold in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable changed from
1/3 to 9/10. This makes more stems to recognize. The reason for that
is the same character "L".
4.
Allowed a blue_fuzz offset t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
Debugged with comparefiles/tpc2.ps .
5. In the test file of the bug 687419 the small font has no
upper alignment zone for lowercase. This caused an uniform glyph height
due to wide and norrow horizontal stems aligned ocasionally
by top or bottom. Implemented a choice of the aligned edge
depending on the Y-coordinate of stem middle relative to
the glyph middle.
6. gxhintn_h was defined in lib.mak after it is used at once.

Fix for 687477 Bad incremental update to a PDF file.
DETAILS:
The given test file had a bad incremental update. This update
has two problems:
1. The trailer dict only had a Prev entry. None of the required
entries were present. To fix this problem, entries from previous
trailer dicts are placed into the initial trailer dict if there is
no entry with the same key in the initial trailer dict.
2. The update had an xref table with two entries. One of them
was bad. (Not a very good percentage.) To fix this problem,
all entries in the composite xref table are scanned to verify that
they point to a valid objects. If not then the rebuild logic is
used to attempt to recover the xref data. This can be disabled
by adding -dNoVerifyXref to the command line. In most cases,
the verification time is not noticeable but I did find a file with
104,000 xref entries and it took about 2 seconds to verify the
xref table.

(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This is a final step of fixing the bug 687489
"pdfwrite creates invalid Type3 font -- missing characters".
This patch provides a check whether a color was changed while
a PS charproc interpretation. A color command is written
into the PDF charproc if and only if the PS charproc changed the color.
This patch discovers a bug in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 :
with the test document of the bug 687489 it paints an "invisible" text in the 4th page.
That text isn't visible when viewing with Adobe reader 6 and with GS.
The text is painted with a white color, but AR 5 erroneusly paints it with black.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
High level devices may need a device color while executing stringwidth.
DETAILS :
This is second step of fixing the bug 687489
"pdfwrite creates invalid Type3 font -- missing characters".
The problem happens due to the old code could run a charproc while
executing a stringwidth, when device color is not evaluated.
This patch provides the device color loading with no dependence
on the text operation.
dev_proc(dev, text_begin) now receives a device color in any case.
THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : if an old device depends on
a device color ability, it will malfunction.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued).
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 687489
"pdfwrite creates invalid Type3 font -- missing characters".
The problem happens due to the old code could run a charproc while
executing a stringwidth, when the PDF viewer state isn't syncronized
with the PS graphic state.
We don't synchronize in this case because stringwidth doesn't paint.
Our intention is to know whether a charproc changes graphic state parameters :
current color, line width, etc. For doing so we need
(1) to save the viewer state in the viewer state stack,
and then (2) synchronize with the PS graphic state without
writing commands to the PDF. This patch does provide (1)
but does not implement (2) because we want to check
the change (1) for no regressions.
The change (2) will be a separate step.
Saving a viewer state in a stack when entering a charproc
was contributed with the recent patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-May/004507.html
as an improvement of pdf_enter_substream, which was called from
pdf_install_charproc_accum called from pdf_text_set_cache.
In other words, the viewer state saving was deferred until setcachedevice/setcharwidth.
However we need to save the viewer state in the beginning of a PS charproc.
This patch moves the call to pdf_enter_substream from pdf_install_charproc_accum
to the TEXT_PROCESS_RENDER branch of pdf_text_process.
We believe that the new logic is more straight :
we start the charproc stream accumulation immediately before the PS interpreter
enters a charproc interpretation.
Minor changes :
1. Defined pdf_start_charproc_accum as a symmetric one for pdf_end_charproc_accum.
2. Renamed pdf_install_charproc_accum into pdf_set_charproc_attrs.
3. Improved the argument list of pdf_prepare_text_drawing.

Version 8.30 (2004-05-29)
This is an beta release of the development tree. It contains numerous
new features and is made available for those interested in testing out
the new version before it becomes the next stable release.
New features in this version :
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 GridFitTT for information on this
feature.
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the encryption parameter documentation for more
information.
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.
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the Rinkj section for more information.
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
We have beta support for Jpeg2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
The following bug numbers were open at
the time of the last release:
JPXDecode support is only enabled for the autoconf build. Mention this
in the release notes, and add some brief notes to the MSVC makefile
about how to make it build.

Enable separable_and_linear and separable for the display device.
Fixes bug #687442.
DETAILS:
Enable separable_and_linear for gray, RGB and CMYK formats.
The display device needs to explicitly call check_device_separable
because it is closed and reopened when the callback is set,
which causes linear_and_separable to be reset.
Set the gray_index which is not set by check_device_separable.
Prevent the unimplemented DISPLAY_ALPHA_FIRST and
DISPLAY_ALPHA_LAST from being used.
Make it clear that the display_map_rgb_color_rgb and
display_map_color_rgb_rgb functions only work with 8bits/pixel.

(pdfwrite) : 1. Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations;
2. Bug : Viewer state could desynchronize when entering a charproc accumulation.
DETAILS :
Bug 687472 "barcode wrongly converted to type3 font".
Type 3 glyph variations may appear if BuildChar uses setcharwidth.
If a charproc uses setcharwidth, we perform the charproc accumulation
for each character occurance, and compare the accumulated stream with older
ones if they exist. In the case of exact equality
(including the character name and character code),
the old charproc is used. Othervise we embed a new one.
If the character code was used with another charproc,
we create another PDF font to resolve the conflict.
Thus a single PS Type 3 font may convert into several
PDF Type 3 fonts, and the text may be broken into smaller pieces.
Particularly this happens with the test file of the bug 687472.
Viewers must account that implementing the text serchability.
A new array pdfont->u.simple.s.type3.cached is used to remember whether
a charproc uses setcachedevice[2]. If a character used it at ones,
we assume that all further its occurances to do same.
We think that this assumption is implied by PLRM.
Viewer state was not saved when entering a charproc accumulation,
and was not restored after exiting it (a bug).
This could cause wrong object attributes
and excessive commands written into PDF.
This patch fixes that.
Some PDFs become longer due to excessive ExtGState objects
generated for dropped copies of charprocs.
Opened a new bug 687487 for tracking this issue.

Handle some errors that could halt the regression run.
DETAILS:
When running a raster comparison, the test case generates a ShortDescription
that includes the modification date of the baseline raster date. If no such
file exists, the baseline gs is run to create an entry. However, if that
insertion attempt fails, there is no baseline raster for reference. While
the test case itself handled this properly, the ShortDescription logic did
not, throwing an error that terminated the whole run.
Also, makesum was returning '0' instead of None on failure, which was
incompatible with the use of its return value as a dbm key. It now
returns None in that case, and when it cannot stat the file argument
at all.
Fix reference count of overprint compositor so that it doesn't get freed
too early. Fixes SEGV of bug #687425 for customer #1110.
DETAILS:
This only showed up when banding was being used.
This only showed up when a high level image was being rendered from the
clist since this installed a 'clipper' device on top of the overprint
compositor. When the clipper device was closed, the finalization proc
decremented the reference count for the 'target' device of the clipper
which was the overprint compositor. When the overprint reference count
was decremented to 0, it was freed even though it was being used by
the clist renderer.

Log message:
Revised fix for 687418 WTS does not work with bitcmyk driver.
DETAILS:
The changes in this revised fix are pretty extensive. Note: This
patch includes several items from Russell Lang. I am including these
since they are required for the proper execution of the patch and
it does not seem reasonable to require possible testers or reviewers
to have to track down and install these patches separately.
The list of changes includes:
1. Added logic to check_device_separable to also set the gray_index
value. This suggestion came from Russell Lang.
2. Add verification that a colorants bits are consecutive. (from
Russell Lang in:
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-code-review/2004-May/004501.html
3. Changes to gx_default_encode_color and gx_default_decode_color
to use position and bit count info from the device's color_info data.
(Also from Russell Lang in the previously mentioned submission.)
(See the comments in item 21 below about the gx_default_decode_color
routine.)
4. Included test routines. (Also from Russell Lang in the previously
mentioned submission.)
5. Added calls to check_device_separable prior to calls to the
various 'fill_in_procs' routines (gx_device_fill_in_procs,
gx_forward_fill_in_procs, fill_in_procs). The fill_in_procs routines
use the separable information in choosing default routines for
the encode_color and decode_color routines. Thus we have a chicken
and egg problem since check_device_separable also uses the device's
encode_color routine. The test routines from Russell were a great
help in debugging
Also various changes that were found while testing this patch:
6. The various color deskjet drivers (gdevcdj.c) was incorrectly setting
the dither_grays and dither_colors values to 5 instead of 256. (I
have no idea why.) The max_gray and max_color values were set to
being set correctly to 255.
7. The color deskjet devices (gdevcdj.c) were doing BG and UCR
removal inside of the encode_color routines. These devices use the
default color_mapping_procs which also do these tasks. The code in
the encode_color_routine was removed since it could cause conflicts
with the overprint routines. The code in the encode_color routine
was also using a fixed BG/UCR logic (from PS level 2).
8. Corrected a problem in the color desk jet decode_color routine
which was always returning zero for the black value.
9. Changed the casting for values assigned to the std_colorant_names
field. Note: MSVC and gcc complain about different conditions.
There does not seem to be a combination that will keep both happy.
This set produces no complaints from gcc.
10. Corrected the setting of dither_grays and dither_colors for the
devicen device. Previously this was being set to 1 when it should have
been set to 256. Found by Russell Lang.
11. Modified check_device_separable to only check for appropriate
values of the max_gray/dither_grays and max_color/dither_colors
pairs only for gray/color devices.
12. Added check for encode_color routines which encode zero
bits for a colorant. Previously this condition would have caused
an infinitely in check_device_separable. Change suggested by
Russell Lang.
13. Removed a previous call to set_linear_color_bits_mask_shift
in gx_default_fill_in_procs. This has been logically replaced by
the calls to check_device_separable which have been added.
14. Corrected a problem in the ppm_map_rgb_color in gdevpbm.c.
This routine was calling gx_default_encode_color which requires
15. Corrected problem in pcx256 device which incorrectly setting
the dither_grays and dither_colors values.
16. Removed the check_process_color_names routine from gdevpsd.c
since it not used.
17. Modified the dci_alpha_values macro in gxdevcli.h. This
macro was setting some devices as 'separable' but was not setting
the related color_info fields (comp_shift, comp_bits, comp_mask).
Now this macro sets a devices as 'unknown'. The check_device_separable
routine will change this for devices which are separable. Devices
which want to change their process color model need to either set
themselves as 'unknown' and let check_device_separable handle things
or else the device needs to setup its own values for separable
color_info fields.
18. Added a call to check_device_separable into gdev_x_open in
gdevxini.c. With this addition, the x11 device is detected as being
sperable. This is need since the x11 device sets up a color map in
gdev_x_open. Prior to this, the encode_color routine for he x11 device
returns 0 regardless of its input.
19. Modified the uniprint device (gdevupd.c) and color laser jet
devices (gdevcljc.) to use 256 instead of 5 for its dither_gray and
dither_color values with devices that have 8 bits per colorant. This
is appropriate since the the max_gray and max_color values are 255.
(I do not know why these values were being set to 5. This same error
was found in gdevcdj.c. My only guess is that it was a typo in gdevcdj.c.
Since this device is recommended as an example of how to code a color
raster device (in Devices.htm), the error was propogated into the
other devices.
20. Added more comments to gxdevcli.h explaining the use of the
gray_index, max_gray, dither_grays, max_color, and dither_colors
fields in the device color_info structure.
21. Changed the gx_default_decode_color routine (again). Russell
Lang created two revisions to this routine as part of his efforts on
this task. However one version was slow but produced the desired
results. The second version was faster but its output was slightly
different. This revision produces the same output as the first
version but does so without the while loops that slowed its operation.
Note: There is another related submission from Russell Lang that is
not included in this patch. This consists of changes to the display
device for making it 'separable'. This change is needed for Igor's
linear shading work.

Apply a recursive 'configure' step to the autoconf build to generate
required code for the jasper library.
DETAILS:
The jasper library also ships with an autoconf build framework for POSIX
systems. Unfortunately, it relies on this framework to generate a header
file with defines describing the local system. This header, located in
jasper/src/libjasper/include/jas_config.h can be generated by hand from
the jas_config.h.in template, but it must be available when we're directly
compiling the source as part of Ghostscript.
We could attempt to construct one of our own, but within the confines
of an autoconf build, using jasper's native configure is more robust.
We could also go ahead and use recursive make to build the library
natively, but we would need a static makefile for non-autoconf builds.
Jasper provides an alternate header, jas_config2.h for use with MSVC.

A new implementation of shadings, step 73.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_RADIAL_SHADINGS in gxshade4.h .
The old implementation of the radial shading extensions appears
incompatible with the tensor representation of the radial shading
due to different spatial subdivision. Collisions at extension
boundaries caused dropouts.
Besides that, the old implementation
can't handle the case in which circles contact each another and one
circle is inside another. Also we suspect that with the old implementation
the trailing extension can overlap the shading when represented as "triangles".
This patch implements extensions with tensor patches.
Rather they have a constant color, we need the wedge logics
to work with them. Also we reworked the analyzis of
special cases of mutual placement of the base circles.
The new code works, but there are known problems :
1. Extensions to be tested systematically.
2. Debug mesh_padding and wedges with zero length sides.
3. Skip painting outside the clipping area.
4. Optimize for constant color.
5. Why "STEUER-RollingMesh 2(radial).ai-.pdf" generates so many triangles ?
6. Outer wedges may break the order of painting.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
A new implementation of shadings, step 72.
DETAILS :

This one implements entirely different logics.

1. Clipping didn't work with linear color.

Limit the number of timing runs we're willing to do to detect the cache
size, preventing an infinite loop if the os timing calls never measure
appreciable elapsed time. After a patch from Patrick TJ McPhee. Bug 687095.
DETAILS:
It looks like there's a bug in some versions of FreeBSD which cause
time_clear() to always return 0, even though the loop is being run.
This is clearly incorrect behaviour of clock() on these systems,
or the user is mistaken in debugging the problem, since we've been
unable to reproduce. But in either case our code is arguably wrong.
The later measurements will obviously not detect a nonlinearity if
the timing loop continues to return 0. However, they will terminate
at MAX_BLOCK (4MB) and so the misdetection isn't egregious. It was
only the estimation of the measurement error that could loop forever.

Fix for 687455. The overprint logic creates a temporary device which is

a problem when check_device_separable executed. This change sets the temp

Fix for 687418 WTS does not work with bitcmyk driver. This fix

DETAILS:
WTS screening, overprinting, halftoning for more than five colorants
and the fast halftoning logic need to be able to create gx_color_index
values without using the encode_color routine. This only works if a
device is 'separable'. However, by default, most devices indicate
'unknown'. This change implements a heuristic for checking if a
device is separable. If so then it also determines the various
related parameter values (comp_shift, comp_bits, comp_mask).

Implement 687423 Implement SeparationOrder for psdcmyk device.
DETAILS:
The following changes are for implementing the SeparationOrder
parameter for the psdcmyk device.
The change consists of the following:
1. Several routines which were duplicated in the spotcmyk
and psdcmyk devices were restructured to allow the use of
common subroutines. As part of this effort the various
common DeviceN related parameters were separated into a
substructure (call devn_params). This allows the use of
common routines even though the devices do not have the
same overall device description structure.
2. Changes to the src/gdevpsd.c module for actually collecting
the SeparationOrder parameter data and then using it. Note:
The treatment of separations is different for the process
color model colorants versus the spot colors. The colorants for
the process color model do not have their order changed. The
output file always starts with information for the CMYK channels.
If one of these colorants is not specified in the SeparationOrder,
then the output channel data in the file will simply be 'blank'.
Spot colors follow CMYK data. They are rearranged. Only the
spot colors specified are output.
3. Several checks in src/gdevdflt.c and src/gxcmap.c had to
be removed or modified. These checks were assuming that a
device with a single component uses a gray process color
model and a device with three components used RGB.
A new implementation of shadings, step 49.

Fix to make sure that both stroke (CA) and non-stroke (ca) opacity is set.
Support for customer #32 that wants to create transparent effects in PDF
from PostScript input.
DETAILS:
Previously the opacity was set for one or the other (whichever was first)
and only updated when the value changed. Since the 'state' only retained
a single value, the following PS snippet would not set the CA value as it
should to 0.5. Since we never use the 'b/B' fill + stroke painting methods
(our graphics library currently has no device function for this), a PDF
that contains a 'b' method will be decomposed into a 'f' followed by 's'
operation, setting the opacity from the PDF interpreter's retained ca/CA
between the operations.

Fix 687189 for bbox_forward_add_rect infinite recursion.
This problem caused segment faults or apparent hangs with
the x11alpha device. This fix also works for 656414
segfault when using x11alpha
DETAILS:
The problem was due to the bounding box device creating
more and more bounding box devices in the device chain
when the overprint compositor was being used. The x11alpha
device uses the bounding box device. The overprint logic
uses the 'create compositor' logic when a change is made
in the status of the overprint or overprint mode parameters.
However a new compositor is not created each time. Instead
the overprint device simply updates its parameters. The
bounding box device has its own create compositor. This
routine would call its target device's create compositor
routine and then wraps a new bounding box device around the
target's compositor. The combination of many create
compositor calls from the overprint logic and the fact that
the bounding box device adds a new bounding box device
could result in hundreds of bounding devices in the chain.
The fix consists of checking if the bounding box's target
device actually created a new compositor device. Only when
a new compositor was added is a new bounding box also added
to the chain.

Fix for 687402 Missing color on annots.pdf. This is actually
not an error. Instead it is due to some confusion about the
displaying of link annotations.
DETAILS:
To prevent confusion, the following two paragraphs of explanation
were added to the first page of the examples/annots.pdf example file.
"IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS PAGE: This page was created for the testing
the display of link annotation parameters. The file was created using
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (and modified using Acrobat 6.0). The displaying of
each annotation is specified in the annotation. By default, Acrobat sets
link annotations so that they are normally displayed by 'viewer'
applications. They are not normally displayed in printed output. That is
the case with these annotations.
Ghostscript checks the display specifications for each annotation. By
default, Ghostscript assumes that the output is 'printed' if the
'OutputFile' parameter is defined. Adding '-dPrinted=false' to the command
line will force Ghostscript to display 'viewer' annotations in all output.
Adding '-dPrinted=true' will disable the displaying of these annotations."

Fix (Type 1 hinter) : Skip empty hint ranges.
DETAILS :
Bug 687393 "Hang with 8.14 from command line".
The test document embeds a font with a hint mask,
which defines a stem range with 'closepath' only.
t1_hinter__skip_stem couldn't handle this case,
because we exclude 'closepath' from the pole list.
We believe that the font is buggy, but provide a tolerance.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : MSVC6 compiler warnings.
DETAILS :
An "initialized data" warning appeared when MSVC6 performs a release build
with inline optimizations on (The inline optimization inlines small function bodies,
being not marked with the inline keyword).
1. The "uninitialized data" warning in alloc_name_index_is_since_save
in isave.c was a real bug with an indeterministic behavior :
nref.tas.rsize was accessed by names_index_inline from names_string_inline
from alloc_name_is_since_save from alloc_name_index_is_since_save
with no advance initialization.
This bug was not detected because this function is only
invoked when a 'save' unwinds glyph names added to an incremental font,
but doesn't unwind the font - we have no such examples.
IMO existing PS drivers never cvreate such documents.
2. The "uninitialized data" warning in cos_array_add_object appears due to
cos_copy_element_value copies entire 'value' when another variant of an union
has a bigger size and was uninitialized.
The copying of the uninitialized data looks not harmful due to the 'int' type,
but generally it could cause an interrupt on platforms with a tagged memory.
We prefer to suppress the warning with an unuseful initialization,
because the processor time consumption is pretty small and happens not frequently.

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Fix : setcachedevice must not depend on a BuildChar color and on gx_show_text_retry.
DETAILS :
1. The bug 687391 "assert src/gxccman.c:557 again" happened
because BuildChar changed the current color before
setcachedevice calls compute_glyph_raster_params,
and the raster params computed differently than
during the advance glyph raster cache lookup.
2. Removed
if (pgs->in_cachedevice)
return_error(gs_error_undefined);
from gs_setcolor,
because I can't guess it's reason/purpose.
It looks as a rudiment from a pre-repository versions.
3. The assertion also failed with
"-dTextAlphaBits=4 -dLastPage=1 comparefiles\xgfddg.pdf".
In gx_add_cached_char added the case "cc->pair == NULL" :
/* gx_show_text_retry could reset it when bbox_draw
discovered an insufficient FontBBox and enlarged it.
Glyph raster params could change then. */
4. gx_show_text_retry must reset penum->pair due to possible FontBBox change,
see (3).

Fix for 687390 GhostScript 8.11 inserts rendering artifacts
with GIFs as source. The actual problem is an error which
resulted in a pale yellow being shown as a pale pink. This
occurs when dithering on devices which use a 256 color palette.
DETAILS
The halftoning logic assumes that there are the same number
of shades of each color. However the 256 color palette
devices were using a 7x7x5 color cube. I.e. there were 7
shades of red and green, however there were only 5 shades of
blue. The data in the device's color_info (max_color, max_gray,
dither_colors, and dither_grays) indicated that there were
7 shades. The halftoning logic, using this information, was
attempting to display the given pale yellow color by dithering
between 6/7ths and 7/7ths of each component. However the
encode_color routine returned colors which include solid blue
for all cases. This biased the resulting halftoned color
toward blue.
The fix involves changing the 256 color palette devices to
use a 6x6x6 color cube. The same routine pc_8bit_map_rgb_color
is used for all of the 256 color palette devices. Thus the
change consists of modifying this routine and the associated
pc_8bit_map_color_rgb routine. The specification of each of
the devices has to be changed to represent the change in the
cube size.

Fix for incorrect Annotation scaling when an Appearance (/AP) had
scaling that was not unity (1) and the Subtype was not /Stamp.
Fixes Bug #687288 for customer #32.
DETAILS:
The scaling difference in the annotation (object 14 0) was due to
Ghostscript not recognizing the bsiTextStamp annotation Subtype.
Careful reading of the Adobe PDF specification says that if there
is an Appearace stream (/AP dict), then the Form XObject should be
scaled using the method that we perviously only used for /Stamp
Subtype annotations (calcstampscale). The section of the PDF 1.5
Reference Manual is 8.4.4.
The patch is fairly simple, but testing of the regression suite
showed one file, foo.pdf, that was missing the require /Rect entry
in the Annot dict. The patch includes a check and warning for this
problem.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
With this patch, some of the regression files will have slightly
different scaling for some of the annotations, but the differences
are all too small to compare to Adobe. The largest variations are
seen with annots.pdf (our test file) where the scaling ranges from
a low of 0.979191 to a high of 1.01636. The files are:
filename scaling range (was 1)
01_001.PDF 1.0
SyscoCorrugatedprintcard.pdf 1.0 .. 1.00268
annots.pdf 0.979191 .. 1.01636
rf1025.PDF 0.998471
IMO, these are all close enough to be considered progressions.

Fix for 687364 rangecheck in buildshading2 from Quark XPress PS file.
This fix involves the creation of the findcmykcustomcolor and
setcustomcolor functions.
DETAILS:
Ray found that the error message was due to an invalid shading
dictionary being given to shfill. The dictionary has a function
which has a single input and a single output. The numbers are
determined from the sizes of the Domain and Range arrays. Since
the shading dictionary is using a DeviceCMYK color space, Ghostscript
is generating a rangecheck since the function does not have four
outputs.
The file is generating an invalid shading dictionary. Specifically
it generates:

This dictionary has a Separation color space. The given function
is a reasonable function to use with the Separation color space.
As Ray mentioned, it is not correct for a DeviceCMYK color space.
The file is generating a different dictionary for the two interpreters.
In the case of Ghostscript, the dictionary is invalid,
Backtracking through the various procsets inside of the given file
shows that is a mess of function definitions, followed by replacement
of the functions with new definitions. Some of it may be Quarks.
Some of it is labeled:
%%BeginResource: file Jaws_custom_colour_blend_level3_emulation 2.1 0
The results of the search are:
1. Ghostscript does not define 'setcustomcolor' but Adobe Distiller
6.0 does define it.
2. The procsets in the file do provide a definition for
setcustomcolor. Actually the file provides about 16 versions of
setcustomcolor. However the versions provided in the file do
not work.
The PLRM does not mention setcustomcolor. However it is
described in Adobe's "Technical Note #5044 Color Separation
Conventions for PostScript Language Programs". TN 5044 says:
"The following "operators" are not defined in the PostScript
Language Reference Manual, but should be used as pseudo-operators
in your PostScript language output. Separation applications from
Adobe Systems and other vendors will redefine these convention
operators to separate your documents. Your application should
conditionally define procedures with these special names, as shown
later in this document."
The fix to the problem is to provide the functions:
findcmykcustomcolor and setcustomcolor. These are placed at the
end of the lib/gs_lev2.ps. They are placed there because the
implementation requires Separation color spaces which is a level
2 feature.

Fix for a long standing problem that could cause characters to be dropped
when reading a file with the 'read' operator. Bug #687374 for customer #310.
DETAILS:
This was caused by the zread function reading the character (sgetc)
prior to invoking the 'push' macro which could return with
e_stackoverflow (discarding the character). The stackoverflow can
happen more frequently than at MaxOpStack level since the stack
is allocated as blocks, using the e_stackoverflow to signal the
need to add more stack blocks, then retrying the operation.

Fix to implement PDF specification for '/' as a valid name as opposed to
the PS token scanning. Previously //name would be incorrectly scanned as
an immediately evaluated name rather than two names '/' and '/name' which
is correct. Fixes Bug #687277 for customer #440.
DETAILS:
Care is taken to reset the scanner behaviour after a PDF file is finished
and also after an invalid number is scanned. Note that to reset the flag,
the parameter must be set to 'null', not 'false' due to the implementation
in the ztoken.c. Caveat impelementor.
Previously the PDFScanRules was set when an invalid number was found and
was never reset, so this may result is *LOTS* of pdfformaterror messages
for files that have lots of invalid format numbers, but that's what they
get. If this is ever a problem, reseting the PDFScanInvNum can be moved
to pdf_main.ps where PDFScanRules is set to null.
No expected differences.

A new implementation of shadings, step 43.
DETAILS :
1. An optimization :
If an area has a monotonic color,
each subarea has a monotonic color as well,
so the color monotonity doesn't need to recompute.
Doing so because the color monotonity function is not fast
when appied to a ShadingType 1 with a bicubic color interpolation.
2. Bug: is_color_monotonic returned 'true' when the intrval
has zero width by the 1st coordinate.
This is wrong for with ShadingType 1, which uses a 2-argument function.
( The check was a rudiment from a 1 month old implementation of fn_Sd_is_monotonic,
which returned 'false' when the low boundary is at the end of some cell,
and the upper boundary is at the beginning of the next cell.
Actually this case is a zero width interval and the function must return true.

Implementing is_monotonic for cubic interpolation functions.
DETAILS :
The old code ignores extremes of a cubic interpolation function
(except ones at a cell boundary).
It could cause a wrong rendering of shadings with replacing a
randomly big part of the shading near an extremum with a constant color.
The new code fixes that.
The new code caches the interpolation coefficients.
This may cause problems if the function data stream is
modified after the function is build. Likely this must not cause
problems due to gs/lib caches the stream with ReusableStreamDecode.
Also we don't know practical cases.
POLE_CACHE_IGNORE 1 avoids this problem with some slowdown,
(the slowdown exponentially grows with >=3 arguments,
but again we don't know practical examples with >=3 arguments).
The configuration flag POLE_CACHE allows to revert to the old code.

Fix for 687337 Zerodivide in cie_cache_mult. Note: There
was a typo in the previous fix.
DETAILS:
The direct cause of the problem, and also the reason that we
have not seen this problem in real world files is that the
050-01.ps test file contains the following color rendering
dictionary.
/RenderDict2
12 dict begin
/BlackPoint [ 0 0 0 ] def
/ColorRenderingType 1 def
/EncodeABC [ {} {} {} ] def
/EncodeLMN [ {} {} {} ] def
/MatrixABC [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ] def
/MatrixLMN [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ] def
/RangeABC [ 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] def
/RangeLMN [ 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] def
/RangePQR [ 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] def
/TransformPQR [ {} {} {} ] def
/WhitePoint [ 1 1 1 ] def
Note: The matrices full of zeroes do not represent real
world data. The zero matrices will result in all output
component values being zero no matter what the inputs.
Using this data, Ghostscript uses the given ranges and
matrices to calculate values for DomainABC and DomainLMN.
The results are [0, 0] for each domain. The domain values
are later used to calculate a scaling factors which is
also 0. Calculations, which use one of these values as
a divisor, then generate a divide by zero exception.
One option to fix this problem would be to check for zero
before doing any calculations with the scaling factors.
However another and simpler option is to check for the zero
factors when they are crated and set the value to a value
which will not cause the divide problem. Note: Even though
we are using a dummy factor (1.0), the zero matrices still
result in zero output values from the calculations.

Automated Precompiled Header speeds up the compilation slightly.
For best results should reorganize gs header files.
Incremental Compilation speeds up the rebuilding after editing source code.
Edit&Continue is a powerful tool for debugging. Together with incremental compilation
it allows to regenerate the object code during a debug session,
and continue the debugging with the new code without restarting the program.
Press F10 after you changes source code and enjoy.
F7 resets the session - forget it.
Another related tool is the "Set instruction pointer" debugger command,
which is available only from Tools/Customize/Commands/Debug.
It looks as an yellow arrow with a blue thin curved arrow.
Move it to your toolbar and enjoy.
Also enabled the incremental linking.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Crash after adding a glyph over a preallocated limit of a CIDFontType 2.
DETAILS :
Working on bug 687351 with CAIB_highres_page4.pdf, we detected a set of old bugs.
They caused a heap corruption and crash.
To reproduce the crash apply the patch of the bug 687351 to lib/pdf_font.ps
(that patch will be committed AFTER this one).
1. pdf_resize_resource_arrays was called with a wrong array size (gdevpdtc.c).
2. pdf_resize_resource_arrays did not expand CIDToGIDMap (gdevpdtf.c).
3. gs_type42_glyph_info accepted a wrong type of the return value of get_glyph_index.
4. Copying a CIDFontType 2, CIDCount was wrong (gxfcopy.c).
5. pdf_obtain_cidfont_resource wrongly processed the case of shared font descendents :
font compatibility was not checked, rather they may have different Metrics,
Metrics2, CDevProc, CIDMap (gdevpdtt.c).
6. Implemented a dynamic expansion of CIDMap for copied fonts.
7. In font copies CIDMap used the code 0xFFFF for representing unmapped glyphs.
8. Inserted the comment into gdevpdtf.c :
/* fixme : Likely pdfont->u.cidfont.CIDToGIDMap duplicates
pdfont->FontDescriptor->base_font->copied->client_data->CIDMap.
Only difference is 0xFFFF designates unmapped CIDs.

Add support for 16 bit deep images that is part of PDF 1.5.

Implementing current point with double precision.
DETAILS :
The old code stores the current point in pgs->ppath->position
with the 'fixed' representation in the device space coordinates.
This appears insufficiently precise if a document constructs a path
with multiple 'rlineto' or 'rcurveto'. A significant to error accumulation happens.
We implement the current point with 'double', duplicating pgs->ppath->position
with the new field gs_imager_state::current_point.
We can't replace pgs->ppath->position with the new one due to several reasons :
- Sometimes (in the text processing, in arc processing and in reversepath)
a new current point is computed when imager state is not accessible.
- Don't want to spend processor time for conversion double to fixed,
whenever a fixed is needed.
- Don't want to modify many of low level modules;
Text operation always round the current point to 'fixed'.
Note that the convertion from fixed to double is always precise,
therefore we widely use it with text operations.
Thus this improves the precision of moveto, lineto, curveto,
rmoveto, rlineto, rcurveto, but the precision of other operators
left as it was. Likely there is no strong need to improve text operations
due to pixel rounding, but it would be useful to improve arc, arcn, arct, arcto.
However an improvement of arc operations isn't a high priority,
and after this patch becomes a local change.
We removed ppath->outside_position, because
pgs->current_point now effectively handles this feature.
Due to that the rounded pgs->current_point may be unequal to pgs->ppath->position
when the current point is outside the range.
The configuration flag PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT defined in gxstate.h
helps to debug the new code with raster comparizon with the old code.
PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 0 works same as the old code except the
coordinate clamping. Therefore once tested with the comparison,
the further validation reduced to a validation of the code
swtched by the flag - this part pof code is pretty small.
The mode (PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 0) **MUST**NOT** go to production
due to the dropped clamping. PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 1 handles the clamping.

Log message:
Implement 687347: Implementation of the PDF encryption feature:
EncryptMetadata. Past versions of the PDF encryption have always
encrypted metadata. With this feature it is possible to NOT encrypt
metadata streams. I.e. By adding '/EncryptMetadata false' to the
encryption dictionary.
DETAILS:
There are two pieces to the implementation:
1. The calculation of the user password key includes an additional
step of feeding 0xffffffff to the md5 input if EncryptMetadata is
false. (Ask Adobe, not me.) The PDF 1.5 spec. says that
EncryptMetadata is an undocumented feature of PDF 1.4. This
implies that this action needs to be done for values of R in the
Encrypt dictionary of 3 or higher. However testing with Acrobat
5.0 and Acrobat 6.0 shows that this is not done for R = 3. Thus
we check for R >= 4.
2. Testing with Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0 has verified that the encryption
of metadata streams is controlled by EncryptMetadata in both versions.
Thus we check for PDF 1.4 and higher (R >= 3) and if so then we check
the stream type and the EncryptMetadata flag to determine if a stream
needs to be decrypted.

Add a simple C program that uses the jasper library to parse JPX (jpeg2k) image files and embed
them in a PDF 1.5 document. Useful for testing as there are few producers available at the moment.
DETAILS:
We make no attempt to parse the required metadata (resolution and so on) ourselves. It would be
simple to add this so that the program can stand alone. On the other hand, jasper is capable of
opening a number of other image formats and encoding them to jpx streams. We don't do that either,
but it would also be easy to add support for so that JPXDecode versions of arbitrary images could
be embedded.
Because of this, it's possible to embed e.g. baseline jpeg data instead of a jpx stream if you
feed the program the wrong file. Caveat executor.
Based on the jpegtopdf program by Tor Andersson.

Actually the result appears used while checking the monotonity of
a stiching function. But we believe that it doesn't worth
the processor time expence. I simpler way is to
consider the stitches as a monotonity breaks.

Fix (dropout prevention) : extra pixels at small serifs.
DETAILS :
It appears a long standing bug. It caused a section was not cleaned before reusage.
The reason was an interval to clean was added to the list of a another margin_set.
This bug frequently caused a missed serif suppression (i.e. extra pixels at small serifs).

Fix bug 687340
Fix : Raster depended on bands, step 4, final.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
1. Removed the old code BAND_INDEPENDENT 0.
2. Simplified fill_slant_adjust with removing low useful variables.
3. Optimized the gxfilltr.h template with excluding some branches from the scope of le, re.
4. Renamed function templates with a (new) regular convention.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : Raster depended on bands, step 3.
DETAILS :
Bug 687222 "Raster depends on bands".
Switching to the new code.
Now trapezoid sides are independent on bands, clipping and scans.
Any trapesoid side is equal to some flattened piece of an outline segment.
A massive difference happens due to the old code recognized low trapezoids as rectangles.
The new code does not because it checks the verticality with longer bars.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Almost all comparefiles render differently.,
but mist differences are single pixels.
A dozen of files give dual pixel differences.

decreesing. The part (2) consumes a huge time and never used. Intending to
cancel it. On necessity clients can compute (2) by calling 'evaluate'.

Implementation of 687326 Enhancement: Handling of PDF 1.5encryption.
DETAILS:
The PDF 1.5 specification has added several some features for
encryption of PDF documents.
1. The new encryption changes are indicated by a /R value of
4 in the Encryption dictionary. Note: The encryption algorithm
is the same as /R = 3.
2. The encryption handling for strings and streams may now be
specified independently. Current possibilities are 'Identity'
and the standard handler.
Note: There are more encryption features in the PDF 1.5 specification.
HowevertThe only means that I have for generating test files for these
new encryption features is Acrobat 6.0. This patch will decode files
which are encrypted using Acrobat 6.0. There is one more feature
(EncryptMetaData) which will be the subject of a separate patch.
Between the features covered by the current patch and the EncryptMetaData
patch, this includes all of the capabilities that are available to a user
of Acrobat 6.0. Since Acrobat 6.0 is the major producer of files with
these new encryption features, Ghostscript will have the ability to
decrypt files which we are likely to see in the near future.

Fix for 687274 White areas appear shaded.
DETAILS:
This 'problem' is caused by a 'feature'. The high resolution transfer
function deliberately has a piece of logic that forces any shade of gray
that is not pure white (i.e. greater than 0.998) to halftone with at
least one pixel being set in the output. This keeps nearly white shades
from being washed out.
We have seen several instances in which this 'feature' causes a problem.
The fax output format tiffg4 has been bitten by this problem since it is
commonly used at 204 dpi.
This change removes this feature.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Errors were missed processing a shading data stream.
DETAILS :
Bug 687307 "A ShadingType 7 differs from Adobe."
shade_next_flag interpreted a wrong data as End-Of-Data,
so that some wrong documents were passed with no error.
Now pdfwrite handles the bad shading data exception separately from
other errors: the shading is fully written and the error is signaled
to the PS interpreter after that. Note that other errors terminate immediately
with inconsistent data written to the PDF output. We did the special
processing to provide a better conformity to some buggy Genoa tests,
which paint a shading with a wrong data in a stopped context.
Besides that, we cancelled the default implementation fallback
when pdf_setfillcolor fails. The old implementation caused
shadings to convert into a huge set of rectangles written to PDF.
We believe that signalling an error is the right reaction for this case.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
pdfwrite :
446-01.ps now prints error message to the raster. This is a progression.
483-05.ps now prints error message to stdout. This is a progression.

DETAILS :
Implemented lazy wedges : do not create a wedge,
if both neighbours of a line were divided at same point.
It reduces the number of constant color triangles to fill.
Since this algorithm consumes an exponential RAM of the wedge nesting,
we restrict the wedge nesting with 9. For doing that we enforce
subdivision of large patches into chunks with <=512 pixels length sides
- see LAZY_WEDGES_MAX_LEVEL.

A new implementation of shadings, step 33.
DETAILS :
Improves the performance of radial shadings :
For a faster painting, we apply fill adjustment to outer annula only.
Inner annula are painted with no fill adjustment.
It can't cause a dropout, because the outer side of an annulus
gets same flattening as the inner side of the neighbour outer annulus.
For other shadings this chande is algorithmically equivalent.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A minor difference with axial shadings :

Fixes bug 687317.
Fix pdfwrite allowable Permissions for EncryptionR=2.
Fix default Permissions.
DETAILS:
The code was assuming that the extra permissions should be 0's,
when in fact they should be 1's. The fixed code is a bit more
conservative and requires that all reserved bits match the PDF
specification. Set the default permissions to -4 which allows
everything.

Add an option to prevent the 'range' type PageSize from being added to the
InputAttribute dictionary. This option is useful for printers that want the
requested pages to be rotated to fit one of the available page sizes.
Option is -dNORANGEPAGESIZE. Fix for bug #629335.

A new implementation of shadings, step 32.
DETAILS :
1. Implemented axial shading with a Coons patch.
It gives more regularity with area decomposition and trapping.
2. Optimized tensor shadings for the case when the gradient is
parallel to the quadrangle sides.
Note that the old code applies 1/2 pixels fill adjustment when
painting stripes of the shading, generating overlapped stripes.
Instead that the new code generates non-overlapping stripes,
and applies a trapping emulation at the shading boundaries with 1/8 pixels.

Check for local jpeg library source by looking for the jpeglib.h header
rather than just the jpeg directory. Also try looking for jpeg-6b if the
jpeg fails; this lets us find the source as it unpacks from the upstream
tarball. Patch from ESP Ghostscript.

Add a parameter which prevents the non-standard four element PageSize
entry in the InputAttributes from being included. This prevents problems
with PostScript programs that examine the InputAttributes entries in an
attempt to pick the 'best fit' rather than relying on the setpagedevice
logic. Also most 'real' printer devices don't support arbitrary page
sizes, so automatic rotation is defeated if the range type page size
in included. The option is -dNORANGEPAGESIZE. Bug #629335.

Add the path to the code directory (gsconf.codedir) for invocation of the
update_baseline/update_pdfbaseline.
Initial implementation of the JPXDecode filter using the JasPer library
for decoding the JPEG 2000 data. This version only implements a
postscript-level filter; PDF support will follow in another commit.
DETAILS:
A new FEATURE_DEV, 'jpx.dev', is added to the makefile to enable
support. The jasper library must be available to link with in this case.
The library is autodetected in the autoconf build, but not yet enabled
on other platforms.
The implementation leaves a little to be desired. While JasPer is
robust, it provides no way to connect its internal stream architecture
to ours, so we end up buffering all the data. This seems to be the best
we can do without modifying the library.
We try to handle data from a number of colorspaces, but the spec is a
little vague on what is required. We convert YUV to RGB internally, but
do not handle sub-sampled planes.
A new implementation of shadings, step 20.
DETAILS :
This fixes an unintentional regression in gxshade4.c,
which appeared from a recent patch.
Also it optimises the access to pis->smoothness.

None.
A new implementation of shadings, step 15.
DETAILS :
This patch changes a disabled code only.
Optimized the patch decomposition.
1. Triangles are divided along the color gradient.

along the gradient of the Manhattan"s color norm.
2. Rectangles are divided into 2 triangles by the diagonal
with smaller color difference.
3. Improved conditions for compiling wedge_buf.
4. Implemented VD_TRACE_TRIANGLE_PATCH.

Improving the filling algorithm, step D7.
DETAILS :
When filling an individual trapezoid, a shortcut
for parallelograms could miss some pixels.
When the left boundary rounds to a vertical line
and the right one does not, for the right boundary it
wrongly applied same zero sampling as for the left one,
in spite of the right boundary can cross pixel centers.
We realize that the shortcut could improve a view
of some parallelograms. But in same time we detected that
in alphabet.ps with 72dpi a parallelogram was replaced
with a wider one, causing a worse view of the character '#'.
So its usefullness is arguable.
Both features can't provide simultaneousely
due to the device interface can't pass a flag whether
an exact coverage is required.
Therefore we drop the shortcut.

[src/gxdtfill.h 1.16]
2004-02-16 15:26 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 7.
DETAILS :
Documenting the current state of the development,
because we need to delay the project.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.13]
2004-02-16 15:06 Ralph Giles
Adapt makefile support for compiling in zlib to support v1.2.x rather
than 1.1.x. Linking to a shared version is unaffected.
DETAILS:
The zlib source was re-arranged from the 1.1.4 to the 1.2.x releases.
While binary compatibility was maintained, and we link just fine to a
separately build dynamic zlib, our custom makefile support for compiling
in the library source no longer works.
Rather than add a 'ZLIB_VERSION' makefile variable and the attendent
configuration costs, we've simply migrated completely to the new (much
faster) 1.2.x series. 1.2.1 is now the minimum version to be used if you
wish to compile zlib as part of Ghostscript.
Improving the filling algorithm, step D5.
DETAILS :
It's a preparation for fixing a problem while filling a single trapezoid.
This change improved a debug drawing.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxdtfill.h 1.14]
2004-02-16 09:13 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 6.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
1. Implemented a debug drawer draw_wedge.
2. dbg_nofill was not properly initialized.
3. Removed a debuging hack.
4. removed unused variables.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.12]
2004-02-16 09:10 Igor Melichev
Improving the filling algorithm, step D4.
DETAILS :
It's a preparation for fixing a problem while filling a single trapezoid.
This change is algorithmicaly equivalent.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxdtfill.h 1.13]
2004-02-16 08:21 Igor Melichev
Improving the filling algorithm, step D2.
DETAILS :
It's a preparation for fixing a problem while filling a single trapezoid.
This change is algorithmicaly equivalent.
It branches out the rectangle case and simplifies it.
Some macros are moved by necessity.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxdtfill.h 1.12]
2004-02-16 06:01 Dan Coby
Fix for 687294 psdcmyk device does not write resolution correctly to PSD
files. This change adds a 'ResolutionInfo structure' into the 'Image
Resources' section of the output file. This structure specifies the
horizontal and vertical resolution of the image. (Note: Adobe's support
of asymetric resolutions is poor.)
[src/gdevpsd.c 1.6]
2004-02-15 14:51 Igor Melichev
Fix: Improving the documentation (comments) about the filling algorithm, improved.
DETAILS :
The prevoius change to the comment appears wrong,
i.e. the old expression "x + xf/h + 1"
appears correct due to compute_ldx subtracts h from
the remainder but doesn't add 1 to the integer part,
which is x.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gdevddrw.c 1.13]
2004-02-15 11:31 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 5.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
It fixes some dropouts.
1. Improved the documentation (comments).
2. Improved the debug painting with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING_DEBUG.
3. Fixed bugs in the linear equation solver.
4. Improved the wedge generation.
5. Reduced the usage of transpozed coordinates.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.11]
2004-02-15 11:28 Igor Melichev
Fix: Improving the documentation (comments) about the filling algorithm.
DETAILS :
We believe that the comment about "x, xf" was wrong.
Note tha the old expression was "x + xf/h + 1",
and we changed it to "x + xf/h". We believe that
the new one corresponds to the code.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gdevddrw.c 1.12, src/gxdtfill.h 1.11]
2004-02-14 11:57 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 4.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
In the new code wedges were wrong.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.10]
2004-02-14 09:04 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 3.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
In the new code fixed internal wegdes.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.9, src/lib.mak 1.167]
2004-02-14 08:44 Igor Melichev
Fix : Visual trace could miss the current color when reinitialized.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/dwtrace.c 1.6]
2004-02-13 17:51 Ralph Giles
Propagate a change from the GS_8_1X branch. AC_CHECK_TYPES takes a
comma-sparated list.
[src/configure.ac 1.40]
2004-02-13 16:43 Igor Melichev
A new implementation of shadings, step 2.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
In the new code fixed the decomposition except wegdes.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.8, src/lib.mak 1.166]
2004-02-13 08:15 Igor Melichev
pdfwrite : NoEncrypt option by a special customer request, improved.
DETAILS :
Improving the condition for empty keys.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gdevpdfo.c 1.28]
2004-02-13 08:08 Igor Melichev
pdfwrite : NoEncrypt option by a special customer request.
DETAILS :
The implementation isn't fool proof : an inaccurate specification
may generate an inconforming document.
The specified key is not encrypted in any dictionary.
The specification must use an external representation :
a name to be prepended with slash, a string to be bracketed, and so on.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Improving the filling algorithm, step D1.
DETAILS :
1. The 'peak' condition was too weak.
Caused minor differences in rasters with dropout prevention.
2. Expanded loop_fill_trap_np in the inner trapezoid loop.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
3. Cleaned the inner loop with moving out the computations if ybot, ytop.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
4. Moved the (ybot < ytop) check outside the trapezoid loop.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
5. Inserted 'const' into loop_fill_trap_np.
6. Inserted the section "Reserved to improve the banding"
to simplify experiments with it.

Fix : Some Intel C compiler warnings.
DETAILS :
Bug 687292 "General bugs in ghostscript source".
"double wxy[2]" was a real bug, but this code fragment
never executes with current Ghostscript and GhostPCL interpreters.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxfcopy.c 1.41]
2004-02-12 10:28 Igor Melichev
Fix (pdfwrite) : Charproc can change scale before calling setcachedevice.
DETAILS :
Bug 687290 "pdfwrite generate too large glyphs".
To know that CTM changed by a charproc before setcachedevice or setcharwidth,
we set identity CTM before entering the charproc.
If setcachedevice or setcharwidth decides to fall back to
the default implementation, we restore the CTM in there.
The condition in gdevpdtt.c 1931 is changed,
causing minor differences with Bug687044.ps and muur.eps .
We found that a further improvement would be useful for
a better handling of a composite font with a Type 3 descendent.
Opened the new bug 687298 about this issue.
Differences with Bug687044.ps and muur.eps may be related to it.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A minor shift of glyphs with pdfwrite :

A new implementation of shadings, step 1.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_TENSOR_SHADING 0.
The new code compiles but never tested.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxshade6.c 1.7, src/lib.mak 1.165]
2004-02-10 22:31 Ralph Giles
Update our copy of the ijs source to the latest cvs source, which
includes libtool support for building a shared library version. Closes
bug 687278.
Fix: Improving the decision whether the dropout prevention to be applied.
DETAILS :
1. The old code applied the dropout prevention
if gx_fill_params::adjust = 0.
It worked since the latter was set to 0 only for characters.
Now we intend to discontinue the fill adjustment with shadings,
so the old condition won't be applicable in further revisions.
Therefore we reserve the value -1 of gx_fill_params::adjust
especially for designating characters with a dropout prevention,
and percept it in the filling algorithm (We tried to use
new special flag for designeting characters,
but it requires an enhancement to the clist language.).
2. The old code has a problem with PaintType 2 fonts :
it applied the dropout prevention to strokes.
This patch fixes that with checking PaintType in gxtype1.c .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A progression with CAT_LOGO.ps due to (2).
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C19a.
DETAILS :
Fixing a comment.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxdtfill.h 1.10]
2004-02-08 01:41 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C19.
DETAILS :
This is an optimization of the trapezoid algorithm :
1. gx_fill_trapezoid_narrow derives a specialization from
fill_loop_by_trapezoids__pr.
2. Simplified the GX_FILL_TRAPEZOID template with moving the
fill_direct check outside the template.
3. Renamed gx_default_fill_trapezoid_as, gx_default_fill_trapezoid_ns,
gx_fill_trapezoid_narrow.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C18.
DETAILS :
This is an optimization of the new scanline algorithm.
merge_ranges doesnt need to enumerate flattened pieces of monotonic curves.
Minor change : renamed "monotonic" into "monotonic_y".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C16.
DETAILS :
Switching to the new scanline algorithm based on the flattened iterator.
Now both the trapezoid and the scanline algorithm use same flattened path.
Differences in rasters appears due to 2 reasons :
1. An inprecise expressions used in the old algorithm in gx_curve_x_at_y :
the iteration of midpoint_fast accumulates a big rounding error.
The new algorithm have smaller error due to 3*log2(N) fraction bits
while the coordinate accumulation, where N is the number of flattened segments.
2. The old algorithm used inprecise expressions in pco_monotonize.
The new algorithm applies a flattening instead the monotonization.

[src/gxfill.c 1.99]
2004-02-02 11:48 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C7.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for removing the coord_near filter
from the flattening algorithm.
We believe that the the coord_near filter was implemented for
two purposes : (1) prevent the filling algorithm from
zero-height segments, and (2) speed up the filling with
reducing the number of vertices in the polygon.
Now the filling algorithms can handle zero length segments
due to conformity to gx_flattened_iterator.
Thus the reason (1) is not longer important.
The skipping of some vertices speeds up in 3% at 600dpi
rendering with ppmraw to null file.
But sometimes it produces raster distortions,
such as an asymmetric raster for symmetric outlines.
When we fixed the distortions,
the speeding up appears within 0.5%.
We decided to remove the coord_near filter, because so small
echonony of processor time is less important than the distortions.
This patch introduces a new swicth DONT_FILTER_SMALL_SEGMENTS,
and make the compilation of coord_near filter to depend on it.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
pdfwrite : Implementing the PDF 1.4 encryption, step 14.
DETAILS :
Elements of pdfmark elements were not encryptrd.
Since gs/lib/gs_pdfwr.ps serializes pdfmark elements,
we would like to encrypt them before the serialization.
However it would require to implement a new PS operator to pass the
encription keys from the device to the PDF interpreter.
Since this way appears cumbersome, we decided to
unserialize data in the device. For doing that we implement
a simple parser in pdf_put_composite.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

None.
Fix (the new TT interpreter) : A bad pointer enumerated relocating gx_ttfReader.
DETAILS :
gx_ttfReader::pfont from a global to a local memory.
Now we set it to a non-NULL value only during a TT data
access, when the garbager is not invoked.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (TT grid fitting) : A garbager descriptor was wrong.
DETAILS :
It caused a crash running all comparefiles with ppmraw in a single job.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gzspotan.h 1.6]
2004-01-27 16:05 Igor Melichev
Fix : Partially restoring the old behavior of the filling algorithm.
DETAILS :
When we dropped the compatibility with the patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-January/004061.html,
one case of the flattening condition was not perfect.
Sorry for detecting this late.
Now we put another condition, which differs from both the old and the last one,
but the new one is symmetric and provides lesser distortions.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This change causes a massive difference,
which may partially undo the difference of the patch mentioned above.
Here is a list of expected differences agains the current CVS HEAD :

Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C4.
DETAILS :
In the enabled code this change is algorithmically equivalent.
In the disabled code it provides a variable threshold
for the 'coord_near' predicate.
Doing so because the old scanline algorithm uses a zero threshold.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C3.
DETAILS :
The enabled variant of the scanline algorithm was unintentionally
modified by a recent patch. Rather the change was equivalent,
we prefer to clean it.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxfill.c 1.93]
2004-01-26 13:20 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C1.
DETAILS :
This starts a neqw series about the scanline algorithm.
The purpose is to use same numeric method as in the trapezoid algorithm.
This change modifies a disabled code only.
1. Defines new switch SCANLINE_USES_ITERATOR in gx.h .
2. Replaces curve_cursor with gx_flattened_iterator in the scanline algorithm.
3. Provides same Y-list contents as for the trapezoid algorithm.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : gx_flattened_iterator::last_filtered1_i could left uninitialized.
DETAILS :
It was a bug, which our testbase did not detect.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B10, final in this series.
DETAILS :
Oops, the previous patch appears not final in B series.
This one is. It removes an obsolete code from gxpcopy.c .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxpcopy.c 1.20]
2004-01-25 14:23 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B9, final in this series.
DETAILS :
It finally removes macros, which are not longer useful.
It doesn't change the algorithm.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B7.
DETAILS :
1. Removed FLATTENED_ITERATOR_HEAVY_SELFTEST 0 because it is unuseful.
2. Simplified gx_flattened_iterator__next_filtered.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

2004-01-25 11:21 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B6.
DETAILS :
The previous patch left some rudinents, removing them now :
1. Switch off the self-testing.
2. Remove gx_check_nearly_collinear.
3. Removed the CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL0_COMPATIBLE 0 section from
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered because it
can't provide the backscan consistency.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

Fix for Bug 687255 pcl output shifted to bottom of page. Correct
the order of the PCL commands at the start of page for the ljet devices.
DETAILS:
This problem surfaced when a previous fix 686815 was made. That fix
corrected a line of code which was setting the page seize in the output
file.
With the correct page size being specified in the output file, there were
some side effects. Setting the page size resets several other items,
including the starting page X and Y offsets.
The fix for this problem consists of simply moving the setting of the page
size three lines earlier in the file. Now the page size is set prior to
the page X and Y offsets, which are set as part of this line:
fputs(page_init, prn_stream);
[src/gdevdljm.c 1.10]
2004-01-24 10:45 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B5.
DETAILS :
1. Removed the 'filtered2' subclass of gx_flattened_iterator;
2. Renamed the 'filtered1' subclass to 'filtered'.
3. Removed CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL_HEAVY_TEST.
4. Removed the CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL0_COMPATIBLE 0 section from
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered because it
can't provide the backscan consistency.
5. Made other configuration flags to be local for gxpflat.c .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Add check for missing raster image before getting the date of the raster.
If raster is missing, run update_***baseline script to generate it since
the file must be new since the last regression run. Bug 687245.
Removed the obsolete configuration switches NEW_TT_INTERPRETER and TT_GRID_FITTING.
DETAILS :
It doesn't change the algorithm.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (the new TT interpreter) : st_gs_text_enum_max_ptrs was wrong.
DETAILS :
This doesn't change the algorithm because this constant is never used.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxtext.h 1.13]
2004-01-23 16:35 Igor Melichev
Fix (the new TT interpreter) : A bad pointer enumerated relocating gs_text_enum_s.
DETAILS :
gs_text_enum_s::pair pointed to an array element, rather than to
to an object start. Improving text_enum_enum_ptrs and text_enum_reloc_ptrs
with a special processing of this pointer, being similat to one used in
font_dir_enum_ptrs.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B4.
DETAILS :
Removed old configuration flags from gxfill.c .
It doesn't change the algorithm.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
[src/gxfill.c 1.89]
2004-01-23 13:25 Igor Melichev
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B3.
DETAILS :
1. Removed the disabled code MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS 0
2. Removed the disabled code CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL 0
3. Removed the dependence on TT_GRID_FITTING from gxfill.c .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B1.
DETAILS :
This starts a new sequence of patches to the filling algorithm.
It's goal is a further simplification.
We deetected that MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS 1 section is an old optimization,
which speeds up in 1.3% and complicates the code in 30%.
Besides that, it causes inprecise results with the dropout prevention.
At last, the name "MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS" doesn't reflect
its effect : actually it merges segments nearly parallwel to coordinate axis,
which may be unlimitedly long and have an unlimited angle.
Therefore we believe that this optimization is not well defined,
appears unuseful, and to be cancelled.
This patch is a preparation for removing the MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS
section. We made this switch global and we bracketed more code sections,
which appear unuseful without MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS.
This patch almost is a change to a disabled code.
But the change to gxfill.c ln 1238,1241 goes to the enabled code
and appears algorithmically equivalent :
with MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS 1 this branch is equivalent to noop.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : A bug in ttfmain.c caused a heap damage.
DETAILS :
Bug 687254 "writing pcl segfaults".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None with comparefiles.
[src/ttfmain.c 1.22]
2004-01-22 09:22 Igor Melichev
Fix : pco_accurate didn't work for curves with zero derivative.
DETAILS :
Bug 687266 "Accurate curves may be inaccurate.".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None, because normally PS doesn't use "true .setaccuratecurves".
Testing with "true .setaccuratecurves", got no difference with -r72.
Thus our testbase doesn't contain interesting curves.
[src/gxpcopy.c 1.18]
2004-01-22 09:16 Ralph Giles
Create a new dynamic header 'gconfigd.h' for non-platform-specific defines. Variables like
GS_LIB_DEFAULT which were previously tacked onto the end of gconfig.h have been moved to the new
header. This change is necessary to pass the default path for the persistent cache from the
makefile.
DETAILS:
The persistent cache is implemented in the gp layer, but previously it was illegal to access
gconfig.h from code inside the graphics library, it the sense that the build would fail. This is
because of the crazy way operator definitions are collected in dev files before they are
consolidated in gconfig.h.
We don't want to use gconfigv.h because that header is platform-specific is generated by different
code on every platform. Therefore, while this isn't a real fix for gconfig.h circular inclusion
issue, a new header is reasonably motivated.
Fix : Don't apply pco_accurate when filling a path.
DETAILS :
When a path is is being stroked, it first converts to the stroke
outline, and pco_accurate is being applied. When the stroke outline
is being filled, pco_accurate was applied at second time with no
useful reason. When it fills a character, pco_accurate disturbs the
hinted outline. Thus it must not apply with 'fill' in any case.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None, because normally PS doesn't use "true .setaccuratecurves".
Testing with "true .setaccuratecurves", almost all tests
render differently due to characters, and we believe it's a progression.
[src/gxfill.c 1.86]
2004-01-21 13:38 Igor Melichev
Fix : The dropout prevetion did not work with "true .setaccuratecurves".
DETAILS :
Bug 687265 "adjust_point_to_tangent goes out the bbox".

2004-01-21 10:17 Igor Melichev
Fix (pdfwrite) : Type 3 characters were missed in the Widths array.
DETAILS :
Bug 687242 "ghostscript generates incorrect pdf file".
A wrong character index was used passing characters to adjust_first_last_char,
causing the domain of the Widths array be smaller than necessary.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

Replace a fixed-filename tempfile fopen with gp_open_scratch_file() for improved robustness in the
pnga device. Part of the fix for bug 687243.
DETAILS:
This is an experimental device to preserve pdf transparency into a png rasterization and is
distinct from the pngalpha device. I doesn't actually work for me and so may be suffering
from bit rot; however the change compiles and should be correct.

Fix : The PCL interpreter doesn't provide pattern streams (continued).
DETAILS :
1. Restored the PATTERN_STREAM_ACCUMULATION 0 code from gdevpdfv.c revision 1.27.
It provides a conversion of a pattern tile into a PDF pattern object.
2. Passed have_pattern_streams to corresponding parts of pdfwrite.
3. Added a check for have_pattern_streams into zpcolor.c .
It is useful for debugging PS interpreter
with passing have_pattern_streams=false to gs_state_set_client.
With PS interpreter the new code never executes (unless one changes
the call to gs_state_set_client).
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Save the original filename template for use in the error message when mkstemp() fails. According
to the man page mkstemp() can clobber the contents of fname if it does not succeed. Part of the
fix for bug 687243.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : CropBox computed wrongly.
DETAILS :
Bug 687244 "wrong interpretation of negative mediabox coordinates".
The bug title appears incorrect. Actually the problem is caused by
negative CropBox coordinates.
.pdfshowpage_Install translates the coordinate system
to provide positive coordinates, but pdfshowpage_finish did not
account the translation when writing the CropBox.
Therefore it the resulting CropBox was inconsistent with the painting
when the source CropBox uses negative coordinates.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A progression with vtm2k.pdf .
[lib/pdf_main.ps 1.84]
2004-01-19 12:32 Igor Melichev
pdfwrite : Merge redundant images (continued).
DETAILS :
Bug 687224 "large pdf file size".
The patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-January/003988.html
appears incomplete, because it works only with
<< /EncodeColorImages false >> setdistillerparams
The problem happens due to Decode arrays considered always unequal.
This patch :
1. Implemets cos_array_equal.
2. Applies it properly to subobjects (particularly to Decode).
3. Fixes the function cos_dict_equal - it was asymmetric.
4. Improves the error processing while object comparizon.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None in rasters, some PDFs become shorter.

because the PCL interpreter doesn't provide high level pattern streams.
Actially the compatibility of the graphics library to the PCL interpreter
was broken since gsptype1.c revision 1.16.
This patch introdices a new argument for the function gs_state_set_client.
Using the argument, a client tells to the graphics library
whether the client provides pattern streams. If not,
the graphics librery emulates the old behavior based
on raster parretns only.
The new flag gs_imager_state::have_pattern_streams stores the
compatibility mode. We would prefer it to be a member of the
graphics library instance, but the instance is not implemented yet.
Storing it to gs_imager_state may cause some undeserable effects,
especially when a device creates a temporary graphic state for
an internal use (the clist device is an example).
We assume that none of devices provides pattern streams,
and this assumption should be reasonable for current applications.
The mechanizm for generating patters streams is still
coded specifically to the PS interpreter in pattern_paint_prepare
in zpcolor.c . This solution to be considered as a temporary one.
We should refactor it into 2 parts : one specific for the PS interpreter,
and another one being common for all applications,
which should be a part of the graphics library.
This patch had passed the regression test with the PS interpreter,
but it was not tested with the PCL interpreter.
Debugging it with PCL to be a next step.

Fix for "687252 subfiledecode errors on includes greater than the
size of a uint". In spite of the bug name, the problem is not
related to the actual size of the subfile or to the size of a uint.
The actual problem is a missing required parameter: EODCount.
However Adobe once again ignores the missing parameter and what is
specified in the PRLM-3rd.
DETAILS:
The given test file has a SubFileDecode filter without the required
EODCount parameter.
Ghostscript is rejecting the test file because the parameter is not
defined. The RangeCheck error message is the result of the following
piece of code in zfilter.c:
if ((code = dict_int_param(op, "EODCount", 0, max_int, -1, &count)) < 0)
return code;
This sets a default value of -1 for EODCount and then checks it
against the range 0 to max_int. Thus when EODCount is not found
we get the rangecheck since -1 is outside the allowed range.
In spite of the fact that the EODCount is a required parameter,
Adobe Distiller 6.0, my CP1700PS printer, and CPSI 3010.105 print
this file without complaint.
This fix changes the default value to 0 to match Adobe and adds a
comment explaining why the code differs from the spec.

Fix (type 1 hinter) : Wrong outline with a huge scale.
DETAILS :
An arithmetic error happened when scaling a glyph to a huge size
(about 100000 pixels), causing a wrong outline.
Actually some coordinate values were replaced with zeros.
Thanks to Jeong Kim for detecting that.
The bug was detected with -r1500 with the test file of
the bug 686975 "Black box when converting to tiff".
Note that the bug report is wrong :
it says that the document with -r150 is bad and -r1500 is good.
Comparing rasters with Adobe we concluded exactly vise versa :
-r150 was compatible and -r1500 was incompatible.
After this patch both resolutions are compatible to Adobe.
Probably the user won't like them due to a bug in the document :
it paints a huge glyph, which is a hundred times bigger than the page size.
The document needs a fix.

Fix for 687247 x11 device fails with CMYK on 8bit display.
DETAILS:
Inside gxcmap.c, the handling of color mapping for most devices is either
halftoned or direct. However the x11 device when in 8 bit mode, and
possibly other 256 color devices, use a slightly different path. First
the color is processed in direct mode. If a color is not in the palatte
and halftoning is required, then gx_no_color_index is returned as a
color value. Then the color is processed as being halftoned. However
this last path was dropped from CMYK colors with revision 8.0.

Initial commit of the persistent cache implementation. This version supports only the *nix
platform and does not include any eviction logic. Also currently the cache directory and
empty 'gs_cache' index file must be created manually.
DETAILS:
Two new calls have been added to the gp layer: gp_cache_insert() and gp_cache_query(). These
take a byte buffer as a key under which another buffer can be stored or recalled. In addition to
the key, buffers are filed by 'type' which provides a separate namespace for each kind of
data. These types should be one of the GP_CACHE_TYPE_* defines in gp.h.
The query call takes a callback for allocating the buffer to be filled. Thus, all memory
management for the key and value buffers is handled by the client and the query returns
the data (if any) within a single call.
A pair of postscript test operators, .pcacheinsert and .pcachequery are provided in zmisc.c,
however they are disabled by default to prevent access to the cache by malicious postscript
programs. They operate only with the 'test' type, so a denial-of-service attack is the only
real risk; however we anticipate all access will be from C code. Compile with the DEBUG_CACHE
preprocessor symbol to enable these.
Improvements and implementations for other platforms are to follow.

Fix problems with the "image" device when the palette is an 8-bit gray
palette (uses the image8 device with num_components == 1). Since the
DeviceN changes, changing num_components requires also setting the
gray_index value appropriately. Also the rgb to color mapping function
did not allow for num_components == 1 and used uninitialized values for
the green and blue comonents. Fixes bugs 458261, 686909 and 687204.
DETAILS:
The gray_index value was being left at GX_CINFO_COMP_NO_INDEX, so the
gx_device_has_color macro indicated a color device. This means that
when the gs_initialize_wordimagedevice function changed the num_components
value to 1, the gray_index was incorrect (should be 0 for a gray shade
device).
Also the mem_mapped_map_rgb_color function didn't check for num_components
== 1, thus using uninitialized cv[1] and cv[2] values and getting incorrect
palette selections. Also I optimized the single component case a bit as
well as an "early out" for both color and monochrome when diff == 0 (can't
get any better than a perfect match).
I guess 8-bit monochrome image devices haven't been used much.

pdfwrite : Merge redundant images.
DETAILS :
Bug 687224 "large pdf file size".
With this change pdfwrite compares images for equality
and merges same images into a single XObject, except for inline images.
A new pdfwrite device parameter MaxInlineImageSize controls
inline images. See gs\doc\Ps2pdf.htm . Use it to disable
inline images if the source document contains multiple redundant
small images.
A new vitrtual function cos_object_t::cos_procs->equal is implemented
for object comparizon. But the current implementation is restricted
with current needs. Particularly it doesn't implement cos arrays,
and assumes equal stream segmentation for equal streams.
To be improved someday.
Note that an image is copied to temporary file before a comparizon.
If the image appears redundant, the current implementation sometimes doesn't
release the space consumed in the temporary file. Therefore the disk must
have enough space for storing all copies. We could improve this using
a smarter method than cos_stream_release_pieces, because an image can interlive
only with same image of an alternative compression.
To be improved someday.

Unequivocally include stdlib.h in echogs.c to avoid a warning on the Sun ONE Studio 7 compiler as
reported in bug 687234.
DETAILS:
The code in echogs.c calls exit() which is defined in stdlib.h. However it was not including that
header (except) on VMS because of portability concerns, resulting in the reported 'implicit
function definition' warning. The echogs program must be available before genarch runs and the
std.h-based portability headers are available, so wide build support for this code is important.
However, such platforms are now very old and comments elsewhere in the code suggest that any
compiler supporting ANSI prototypes as we now require will also have a stdlib.h that defines
exit(). If this change causes a problem, #ifdef code similar to what was used in gp_unix.c can be
used instead.

Fix for fonts being displayed using .notdef character (empty boxes or other
appearance). While the test file doesn't follow the PDF 1.3 or later manual
recommendations for providing a [1,0] cmap for an embedded symbolic TT font,
Adobe Acrobat Reader can display these characters. When the 'post' table
doesn't provide the glyphs required by the /Differences list, try another
cmap [3,0] to get the correct glyph (names and glyph #'s). Bug #686959 for
customer #1060.
DETAILS:
The Adobe PDF 1.4 Reference Manual has some "hints" for producing portable
PDF's, but as far as reading PDF's that don't follow these hints, all that
is said (in section 5.5.5, p.333) is:
Note: Some popular TrueType font programs contain incorrect encoding
information. Implementations of TrueType font interpreters have
evolved heuristics for dealing with such problems; those heuristics
are not described here. For maximum portability, only well-formed
TrueType font programs should be used in PDF files.
The approach of trusting the 'post' table unless the glyphs given do not
include glyphs that are mentioned in the 'prebuilt_encoding' (Differences),
is a heuristic that works for this file and doesn't interfere with any
other PDF's in the regression test. The thing about heuristics is that
the 'intelligence' they embody is no better than the understanding of the
best solution, so this may crop up again later (but we hope not).
Note that simply using the 00030000 cmap [3,0] format causes the regression
file 'test_multipage_prob.pdf' to fail with some .notdef characters.

Fix : monotonize_internal didn't work properly.
DETAILS :
We believe that the new code ever gives monotonic segments,
rather than the old one does not - see
Bug 687210 "a bug in monotonize_internal".
The new code sometimes gives slightly different segments,
because the old code applies an incorrect rounding.
This causes minor differences in rasters.

Fix : Trapezoid algorithm could cause topology distortions (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This is a continuation of the recent patch.
This one provides more stability to numeric errors.
This patch brings 3 improvements :
1. the error proportion formula is now applied in all cases
(one of them was missed by the previous patch).
2. since the intersection point isn't equal to AL_X_AT_Y value,
a special care is taken in the dropout prevention code.
3. To provide (2), moved the assignments to x_current, x_next.

Implementing a True Type grid fitting, step 7.
DETAILS :
This patch changes a disabled code only.
It implements the enhanced logics for the user parameter GridFitTT,
and provides TT grid fitting by both coordinates.
GridFitTT is documented in gxttfb.c :
+ /* gs_currentgridfittt values (binary) :
+ 00 - no grid fitting;
+ 01 - Grid fit with TT interpreter; On failure warn and render unhinted.
+ 10 - Interpret in the design grid and then autohint.

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Fix : Trapezoid algorithm could cause topology distortions.
DETAILS :
There were 2 types of possible distortions : inversed or self-intersecting trapezoids,
and overlapping trapezoids. Rather they are pretty rare (and a consequtive
pixel miscoverage are extremily rare), they break the topology analyzis with
the spotan device.
The distortion happen due to inprecize computations of line intersections.
The coordinate of the intersection is represented in 'fixed', which can't be
precise in most cases. Therefore the intersection point appear slightly shifted.
The harmful thing was a different shift of the same point for each of
the intersecting lines.
This patch brings 2 improvements :
1. Intersecting 2 lines, assign same X to both.
A special care is taken about vertical lines.
2. After intersections are computed, we check whether the coordinates
appear in a wrong order by X. If so, we fix it with computing the average coordinate
and assigning it to all lines. This must give a correct topology with
a small processor time expense.
Monor change : fixed some Cygwin/gcc warnings.

Raster depended on the band size (a partial fix).
DETAILS :
The old code used the Y coordinate of a top boundary of a band
as a basis for computing a sampling factor of sloped lines.
Therefore sloped lines generated "stairs" with a dependence of
the phase on the band coordinate.
This patch removes that dependence. Therefore the new banded
raster appears closer to the unbanded raster.
But the banded raster still can be different.
We don't intend to fix it now. We did only a simplest part, which
is neccessary for the current development needs.
This patch also causes some differences, which are not related to the banding.
This happens due to bands and clip boxes come to the filling algorithm
in same data field. The dependence on the clip box is dropped as well.
Particularly it affects shadings, especially radial ones.

Fix : The dropout prevention code could render an occasional raster.
DETAILS :
We discovered that the old filling algorithm has a non-well-defined behavior
when painting a group of contacting vertical stems with dropout prevention.
The result of the old code appears depending on the order of lines in the X list.
However when vertical lines have same X coordinate,
their order was occasional, and the resulting raster appears
deterministically occasional.
A new section in gxfill.c near line 1629 fixes that, see comment in there.
Another included change to a disabled code brings the curved trapezoid algorithm closer
to the uncurved one. It fixes 2 minor problems with horizontal lines.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes a minor difference in some rasters,
which we consider as progressions due to lesser dropouts.
(Well, it is arguable whether the old feature is a dropout at all,
but we'd like to have a well defined raster with no dependence
on unimportant things such as which contour point is choosen for the starting point).

different from the old code :
KozukaB-ILEmbed.pdf (1 pixel differs)
RodinCIDEmbed.pdf (3 pixels differ)
womanface.pdf (9 pixels differ)
So now the new algorithm is almost working.
An useful improvement would be to divide big curves on-fly
(it should be pretty simple with subclassing the gx_flattened_iterator
and regenerating the next curve part from entire curve by
the part index), and to replace curve_cursor with gx_flattened_iterator
in the scanline algorithm.

Fix setpagedevice problems introduced with previous commit detected by the
regression tests, including 070-01.ps and many others. Also give priority
to lower value slots (match_key.value.intval)
DETAILS:
If there was a match that didn't set a new value in 'best_mismatch' (less
than the original 'LARGE' value), the match_key would be left at 'null',
causing PolicyReport to be executed. The Genoa tests use PolicyReport to
leave a value on the stack that eventually signals 'FAIL' since the count
is greater than expected.
This latest change makes sure that a valid key gets set even when the
best_mismatch value is not relevant.
The lower number slot (%MediaSource) is given priority in the case of a
tie between best_mismatch and mbest.

Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 14.
DETAILS :
This patch changes a disabled code only.
Before this patch the backward iterator works fine, but we are
unhappy of its complexity. Rather it passed the full testing
with comparefiles, a theoretical proof of its correctness is too hard.
Also it highly depends on the old code in MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS section,
which doesnt look as a well defined code.
Therefore we went back to the implementation based on a bitmask.
It represents which points were filtered out while the forward iteration.
It consumes some bigger memory (488 bytes per active line),
but we believe that the C stack consupmtion
is still lesser than one in the Type 1 hinter.
Now we bring both implementations into a single revision,
and define a configuration macro FLATTENED_ITERATOR_BACKSCAN
for switching between them.
The KISS principle strongly votes for the bitmask implementation.
This patch also renamed CHECK_BACKSCAN_CONSISTENCY with FLATTENED_ITERATOR_SELFTEST
for a better structurization, and removed some low useful comments.

Fix InputAttributes initialization to have the default page size in slot

the 'fit any' pagesize range last. Fixes bug #617077 and other files
that expect slot 0 to be a valid 2 element PageSize corresponding to the
default.
DETAILS:
As noted, "real" printer devices such as laserjets, and inkjets should
set up their own InputAttributes dictionaries that do not include the
'range' type page size.
If the page size is not an exact match (off by less than 5 points), then
the page size range will take priority. This is in a non-standard area
of Ghostscript, but must be preserved for those that want exact PageSize
such as for generating raster images of a specific dimension. If the
range page size is present, then automatic rotation will not be used.
If a PageSize is present in both orientations, such as [612 792] and
[792 612], then priorty will be given to the slot that matches without
automatic rotation.

Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 11.
DETAILS :
This patch contains a minor change to the enabled code, and
a big change to the disabled code.
The change to the enabled code only inserts some new fields
into gx_flattened_iterator, actually defining a subclass.
The enabled code doesn't use them, but provides some initialization.
The change to disabled code defines a backward iterator for
filtered flattened curve segments. Actually we define two ones :
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered1 - filters points with 'coords_near'
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered2 - filters points with 'coords_near' and
'gx_check_nearly_collinear'.
The forward and the backward iterators are made to enumerate same points,
which the old does while flatteining a curve. The old code has
a lot of anomalies, therefore the backward iterators appear
very coplicated. We're planning to drop the compatibility and
simplify the iterators after the curved trapezoid algorithm passes
the compatibility test.
The compilation mode CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL0_COMPATIBLE 1 is not completed.
Do not use it with this revision.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.

None.
This is the first pass at the changes to support the PDF 1.5 revisions
to the PDF format.
DETAILS:
The PDF 1.5 revision to the PDF specification contains two major
additions to the format of a PDF document. Objects can be encoded
in compressed data streams called and object streams. Xref tables
were also changed to allow the identification of objects in
object streams and also to allow the compression of xref tables.
Together these changes reduced the size of the PDF 1.5 specification
from 13.5 MB (PDF 1.4 version) to 8.7 MB (PDF 1.5 version).
pdf_main.ps and pdf_rbld.ps - The changes in these modules were for
the support of compressed XRef tables. The major part of these
changes consist of the refactoring of readxref into pieces. One
piece identifies the old format versus compressed XRef tables.
A second piece supports the reading of old format XRef tables.
The procedure readpdf15xref was added to read compressed XRef
tables. A new larray called ObjectStream was added for
identifying the location of objects which are inside a compressed
object stream. The changes for the addition of ObjectStream
also affect pdf_base.ps.
pdf_base.ps - The procedures resolveR and resolved? had to be extended
to support the presence of the objectstream type. A new procedure
called resolveobjectstream was added for resolving objects inside
of object streams.
The code listing below has two versions of the resolveobjectstream
procedure. I want to keep a record of both versions of this
procedure in CVS. The first version is theoretically more robust
than the second. It unpacks and processes objects from an object
stream one at a time. To insure that this occurs, it creates a
string of the exact size of an object and then unpacks and processes
the object. However it is also very slow. Processing of a test
document (PDF 1.5 spec.) with this routine is 4 times slower
than processing a version of the PDF 1.5 spec. which does not use
object streams. The second version of the procedure unpacks the
entire object stream and then processes each object. Thus any
problem which occurs with one object could, in theory, affect another
object. The second version is much faster. There is about a 4%
penalty for processing the compressed version of the PDF 1.5 spec.
After the initial check in, the first version of resolveobjecstream
will be removed unless some need is found for its robustness.

Fix MSVC debug targets: add explicit makefile specification.
Fix bug 687205.
DETAILS:
Debug targets have always been broken on Windows because nmake by
default looks for "MAKEFILE" and fails. Until recently, the default
target was built without the -O2 flag and could be used for debugging.
This patch adds the correct filename explicitly to the debug target
so it can be used instead.

Fix a premature closedevice leading to a SEGV when a setpagedevice follows
a setdevice with the only reference to the device in the graphics state.
Bug #687204 detected with ps2epsi.ps.
DETAILS:
the ps2epsi.ps sets an image device, then does a .setsafe which uses
setpagedevice to set .LockSafetyParams. Eventually setpagedevice results
in a call to gs_setdevice_no_init, but the reference count to the current
device is 1 so even though the device is not being changed, the device
was being closed (which freed the buffer and line pointers). Usually
the currentdevice reference count is > 1 since there is more than one
gstate containing a pointer to the device.
This has been broken since 8.10 when version 1.19 was released with
some changes to device finalization.
Note that ps2epsi.ps is extremely fragile and still doesn't work with
examples/alphabet.ps after the patch (due to the "clear cleardictstack
alphabetsave restore" logic at the end. This patch is ONLY for the SEGV.
IMO, ps2epsi really is a mess and needs to be scrapped and designed
properly.

Fix .gethalftone to prevent /undefinedresource or other error from being
left in the $error dict. Seen with UnusualFontMatrix.ps when running under
startjob encapsulation.
DETAILS:
Internal procedures like .gethalftone that want to use stopped but don't
propagate the error up should use .internalstopped since this doesn't
set /newerror in $error.
The file mentioned has a 'quit' following the showpage which when running
under job encapsulation (false 0 startjob) is redefined to do 'stop'.
This means that the /newerror flag in $error was being seen when the
'stop' after the showpage was executed.

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : The flattening algorithm inaccurately filtered points.
Bug 687154 "Bugs in gx_flatten_sample".
DETAILS :
The old algorithm has 2 problems, which persist since March 20, 2000 or later :
1. When points buffer overflows, it doesn't filter
the next point with MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS.
2. With sn_not_first the first point was duplicated,
and the last one was missed.
This patch fixes both problems.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes differences flattening long curves.

Remove the CC_LEAF alternate compiler definition. This basically exists to pass
-fomit-frame-pointer (or equivalent) on a few (two) files where it's unequivocably safe. This
strikes us as premature optimization.
It was also causing problems with the profile build under gcc because of a quoting problems with
the argument list the makefile passes to itself through this define. Closes bug 687182.
In the autoconf build, only pass -O2 if the compiler is detected to be gcc. Fall back to trying
the POSIX -O in other cases. The trial compile was not detecting that this option does not work
correctly on the Solaris compilers. Problem report from Nelson Beebe, closes bug 687198.

Fix incorrect handling of the '\' escape character in the filenameforall
implementation on Windwows. Fixes bug #687151. Also fix logic in the
.scanfontdir that relied on the incorrect filenameforall implementation.
DETAILS:
The previous NT filenameforall implementation did not translate the
template string to be used by the FindFirstFile Windows call. This
meant that the template was being passed the '\' escape characters
which were not correctly handled by the OS call.
Also testing -sFONTPATH=\Winnt\Fonts showed that this was also broken
in gs_fonts.ps since it didn't duplicate the '\' characters for the
template to filenameforall.
Note that other gp_* implementations of file enumeration don't
seem to handle escapes such as gp_unifs.c. The gp_macio.c doesn't
do anything, and the gp_dosfe.c (deprecated) seems totally broken.
The gp_os2.c appears to be a clone of the gp_ntfs.c, so should be
fixed. About the only version that seems to be handling the '\'
character according to the PLRM is gp_vms.c (can you believe that?).

Simplify the filtering of points while flattening a curve.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent due to algebraic laws.
Thesis : (coord_near(x2, x0) && coords_in_order(x0, x1, x2)) implies
coord_near(x2, x1).
Proof:
case 1:
x0 >= x1 >= x2 ==> abs(x2 - x1) <= abs(x2 - x0);
case 2:
x0 >= x1 >= x2 ==> abs(x2 - x1) <= abs(x2 - x0);
Therefore coord_near(x2, x1) doesn't need to check and has been removed.
Same for Y.
Then merged 2 branches with '||' because they appear same.
The performance slightly increases, and the behavior is easier to understand.

Add a new compatibility header, stdint_.h. All the code previously in std.h and stdpre.h that
tried to make these types universally available has been moved to the new compatibility header
as per policy.
Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 6.
DETAILS :
This change modifies a disabled code,
and includes a minor change to the enabled code,
which should be algorithmically equivalent.
In the enabled code factored out the new function add_y_line_aux.
This patch fixes the dropout problem in CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL 1.
The problem was unprocessed horizontal segments of curves.
Now we create a new temporary horizontal line for
each horizontal segment of a curve, and add it to the Y list.
Then it immediately goes to H list, and then processed and freed.
Due to the modification of the Y list during the main
trapezoid loop (which did not happen before) the cycle
commented with
/* Move newly active lines from y to x list. */
is improved with providing a consistency of local copies
of the Y list pointers.
Good tests for this stuff present in a.pdf .
With this patch with ppmraw 72dpi it renders equal to
with CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL 0 code.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 5.
DETAILS :
This change modifies a disabled code only.
This patch provides more compatibility of the
CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL & FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR0_COMPATIBLE build
to the old code. Doing it with implementing the new function
gx_flattened_curve_iterator__prev.
We're not planning to pass this function to production
because it slows down. Only reason is to simplify testing with
exact comparison of results of the old and the new code.
The macro CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL_SCANS_BACK helps to remove it later.
A new field skip_points is inserted into active_line_s for same purpose.
While enumerating curve segments in a backward order,
it helps to skip same division points as the old code
does in the forward order. This thing consumes too much RAM.
It won't go to production.
One problem is left unsolved. While flattening a curve,
it can generate a horizontal segment. It must be passed to h-list
for dropout prevention. It is not done yet.
This problem causes a dropout in a Chinese glyph in a.pdf
with ppmraw 72 dpi.
For a while we don't apply CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL for non-characters.
The reason is that pco_monotonize works imprecisely.
Will improve someday. Most characters are free of non-monotonic curves,
but we notices a number of such in Genoa tests
and in other files.
The fragment INTERTRAP_STEM_BUG is an attempt to improve a
serif suppression while dropout prevention. The coded condition
isn't perfect. It is disabled. A better way would be to depend on
Y projection contiguity, checking sect->y0, sect->y1.
Keeping it to simplify further experimenting.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix (pdfwrite) : Type 1,2 composite glyphs could point to wrong subglyphs.
DETAILS :
This is a continuation of the recent patch for
Bug 687172 "Jaggies appearing for some characters".
The old code converted subglyph names to char codes with the font's Encoding.
However arguments of 'seac' command always encode glyphs by StandardEncoding.
If the fon't Encoding specifies different codes, the result was wrong.
Since the font copying routine uses gs_glyph values taken from the global
interpreter's space (see gsccode.h), which are PS name indices,
it needs to convert a glyph name string to a name index.
Before now we had no support for this.
To provide it we add a new graphics library callback
gs_font_dir::global_glyph_code.
A recommendation for PCL interpreter :
if it is called with pdfwrite, zfont_global_glyph_code to be implemented.
Maybe an implementation with gs_c_known_encode helps.
There exists a connected minor problem (PS interpreter only),
which this patch doesn't fix.
If a font is freed and then reloaded, the glyph names can get
different name indices, if a garbager is invoked and freed
the names before the second loading. As the result, the copied font
can embed duplicated glyph definitions (charstrings).
It can't give an invalid PDF, but it's size may increase. Hopely this case is rare.
Opening a new bug 687187 about this.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None with comparefiles.
This is the second stable release in the 8.1x series. It contains numerous bug
fixes; other highlights include improved font rendering and colorspace handling,
and unicode text support for high-level devices.
The following bug numbers were open at
the time of the last release:
Type 1 font hints are no longer applied to charpaths. This is generally an improvement,
but will generate a different outline from previously.
A new virtual functions can_handle_hl_color() is required for high-level
devices derived from gx_device_vector.
The library client api now propagates device_close errors to the return
value of gsapi_exit().

In the autoconf build, add the general cflags generated by the configure script to the definition
the the definition of CCAUX. This works around a problem building on cygwin.
DETAILS:
Older versions of cygwin do not provide stdint.h but do define some of the types in sys/types.h.
More recent versions do provide the header but also define them by inclusion in sys/types.h. This
caused a problem with the 'fixup' code we added in response to bug 687162 which defined the
missing half of the types if stdint.h was not detected by the configure script. In versions of
cygwin that do provide stdint.h, most files compile as expected, but genconf.c is compiled with
the alternate CCAUX compiler definition and was not receiving the -DHAVE_STDINT_H argument from
configure, causing a type conflict between the complete set of stdint types pulled in by
sys/types.h and the platform-specific fixup set included when stdint.h is supposedly not
available. Adding the GCFLAGS line to the definition of CCAUX works around the problem and has
little potential to confuse the build in the future.
A similar change made to unix-gcc.mak would need to document the -DHAVE_STDINT_H option for
cygwin. I felt this was unecessarily excessive; we already recommend the autoconf build on systems
that can support it.

DETAILS :
Side bearing and width was accounted before import_shift is adjusted to FontBBox.
Bug 687156 "some characters shifted higher in acrobat4 generated eps".
Besides that, it prevents a fixed overflow when FontBBox is zero and glyph coordinates are big.
Bug 687175 "(type 1 hinter) A fixed overflow can happen".
This patch removes import_shift and the dependence on FontBBox.
Instead that it dynamically reduces the number of fraction bits
in transformation matrices during the glyph import.
Minor change : removed some obsolete comments.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Add new files; make all lists separated with comma and terminated with a period.

Remove the search for long long / int64_t from genarch entirely. Neither of these

but that's passed through a separate define.) Bug 687161.

Fix : A misspelled TRAPEZIOD.
DETAILS :
The change is syntatctically equivalent.
Note that log messages of recent patches still keep the misspelled word.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Generailze the trapezoid fillling algorithm for curves, step 1.
The new code is disabled with CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 0 in gx.h .
DETAILS :
This patch slightly changes the enabled code
with adding more arguments to process_h_lists and end_x_line,
and with renaming gx_flatten_sample and gx_path_is_monotonic.
The new arguments are not used with CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 0.
With CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 1 the trapezoid filling algorithm
doesn't need to faltten the path in advance, and should work faster
due to smaller number of segment allocations.
Instead the generating of flattened segments and storing them to RAM
it breaks curves into pieces on-fly with help of
the gx_flattened_curve_iterator. Meanwhile it needs "small" curves.
To provide that we generalized gx_path_is_monotonic to gx_path__check_curves,
and gx_path_add_monotonized to gx_path_copy_reducing(..., pco_small_curves).
Minor changes :
- Fixed the vd_curve macro;
- improved vdtrace calls in gxpflat.c;
- Moved the FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR definition to gx.h .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None.
Fix : Simplify the filling algorithm (step 12).
DETAILS :
The previous patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2003-November/date.html
is buggy. This patch fixes that.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Should fix regressions which could appear on 2003-11-24.

Previous change assumed that all platforms have 'long long' type, but MSVC
doesn't have this. Use int64_t as set by stdpre.h instead.
DETAILS:

other platforms like HP-UX, AIX, and VMS.

2003-11-21 20:01 Ralph Giles
Update indented preprocessor lines in code imported from Freetype to
put the '#' in the initial column, in accordance with the (slightly
more portable) Ghostscript convention.
Add a fallback definition of the common fixed-sized stdint types based on
the type sizes in the generated arch.h header. This should improve the portability
of uses of these types within the Ghostscript source.
DETAILS:
This new code in std.h does not superceed the in stdint.h and similar platform-
dependent includes in stdpre, it merely provides a fallback. stdpre.h now defines
STDINT_TYPES_DEFINED if it has done so; the std.h code is only activated if this
preprocessor symbol is not set.
This change does not help with the portability of compiling jbig2dec directly as
part of the Ghostscript build system since that code as a separate library includes
no headers from the Ghostscript tree.
Fix for 687020 and 687146. The pdfwrite device is incorrectly converting
CalRGB color spaces into ICC color spaces. Fix #1.
Details:
As Raph pointed out in the Wednesday's support call, there are actually
two problems.
1. We were not correctly recognizing that we can use a CalRGB color space
for the output. This patch corrects this problem. One of the tests in
that process was assuming an incorrect ordering to the transforms. This
fix corrects this problem.
2. The ICC color space which is being created is not equivalent to the
original CalRGB color space. This results in differing colors between
the original file and the output PDF file. This problem is still open.
Note: I am leaving these bug reports still open since problem 2 is still
open.

Factoring out the iterator for flattened curve segments.
DETAILS :
The new code is marked with FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR defined in gzpath.h.
It defines gx_flattened_curve_iterator for using in the True Type grid fitting.
The old code has bugs in the MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS section.
An uneven behavior happened near the 'points' buffer boundary
and with the last but one point : some points were not skipped
when they should. For a while we keep a compatibility of the
new code to the old one.
This patch :
1. Defines of the gx_flattened_curve_iterator.
2. Emulates of the old code with gx_flattened_curve_iterator.
3. Provides a compatibility to the old code bugs with FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR0_COMPATIBLE.
4. Improves a debug printing in the old code, to allow a trace comparizon with the new one.
5. Improves an old comment "Fast check for n == 3" ('n' was not explained).
6. Saves stack space when gx_flatten_sample recurses.
7. Inserts a 'const' into vdtrace.* .

Replace the code that removes the additional CFLAGS added by the AC_PROG_CC autoconf
macro. Closes bug 687150.
DETAILS:
On linux with gcc, AC_PROG_CC adds '-g -O2' to the general CFLAGS. This was overriding
the -O we add in Makefile.in, and the bug complains that this confuses gdb because of
code re-organization.
This change also means we no longer include full debug symbols in the normal build. I
don't consider this an improvement personally, but will bow to the traditionalists. Note
that 'strip' still reduces the size of the executable by 20%, so it's still worth
running if you're concerned about install-size.

DETAILS :
The old code wrote UCR (undercolor removal) functions with mapping 0 to 0.00392,

The fix reduces the sample range to [0:254] and generates an appropriate Decode array.
Bug 687109 "PDF-->pkmraw: 0 0 0 RG isn't solid:.
Bug 687138 "pdfwrite is adding poor UCR functions to output files".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes multiple differences with pdfwrite->pkmraw.
The change to pdfwrite definitely is a progression,
but it discovers a new bug 687146 "(pdfwrite) CalRGB wrongly converts to ICCBased".
We did not check which differences are coused by the new bug.
Will see after the bug is fixed.
Updating the baseline should be fine for entire list.

Fix: Adobe Acrobat Reader ignores an empty path when setting the clip
path. Bug #687136.
DETAILS:
We never encountered this problem in a 'real' file, but one of Raph's
test files showed the difference in the way our PDF interpreter handled
an zero area path to setting clipping versus the way Adobe does.
Igor tested CPSI and determined that PostScript results in a zero area
clipping box, but Acrobat Reader works differently, so the patch detects
a zero area path and does not change the clipping path in that case.
The details of the determination of 0 area is commented here:
pathbbox % get the path bounding box
3 -1 roll % roll to get upper and lower Y coordinates together
sub abs % form absolute delta Y of path bbox
3 1 roll % roll upper and lower X coordinates to TOS
sub abs % form absolute delta X of path bbox
add % sum abs delta X and abs delta Y

2003-11-11 11:23 Igor Melichev
Fix : ..includecolorspace caused an abnormal recursion.
DETAILS :
1. With -dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS the procedure ..includecolorspace called
setcolorspace, which recursively called ..includecolorspace .
This recursion would be infinit unless an ocasional error
in a stopped context terminates it. We replace setcolorspace
with _setcolorspace_nosub to avoid the recursion.
This fixes the bug 687134 "-dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS causes text to disappear".
2. An optimization done with a new dictionary ..page_default_spaces,
which now keeps up to 3 global flags for Default* color spaces,
to reflect whether they were included into a current page.
It prevents redundant calls to _setcolorspace_nosub, .includecolorspace
from ..includecolorspace .
3. Moved .PurgeDict to gs_init.ps because now it is called from showpage, copypage .
4. Added a name argument to .includecolorspace and passed it through
a set of functions in the graphics library and pdfwrite.
Before that Default* color spaces were included into the PDF output
with wrong resource names.
5. Minor change : fixed a procedure header comment in gs_devcs.ps .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None, because the nightly regression doesn't test -dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS .

Restore the invariant: effective_transfer always points to the transfer
functions in the graphic state or halftone. Old code briefly left
effective_transfer pointing to garbage, which caused relocation of garbage
pointers and crash if GC happened at the right time.

Fix for 686796 tiffg4 device and incorrect halftone frequency.
This eliminates a problem with not choosing the best halftone cell size
when more than one possible cell size has the exact angle requested.
DETAILS:
Previously the logic for determing the size of the halftone cells used
the product of the error in frequency times the error in the angle as
the metric for determing the best cell size. For many common angles,
0, 45, 90, etc., this results in an angle error of zero. This then
gave a value of zero for the metric no matter what the frequency error.
The result was that in many cases we ignored cell sizes that gave a
better frequency match. The fix revies the metric to choose a cell
size which is closest (geometrically) to the ideal cell size.

Fix (font resource machinery) : Provide correct font names for graphics library.
DETAILS :
The old code passed names of substitutes rather than font names referred by a document.
This patch fixes that with adding a special ney entry /.Alias to the font dictionary.
Besides that, multiple problems are fixed in gs_fonts.ps,
some of them appeared before the repository was created.
Lising them here :
1. Several comments about stack layout in procedure headers were wrong
since the repository was created.
We repaired some of them, but possibly not all.
2. The old code assumed that SubstituteFont adds
a name to the stack rather than replaces it.
See comment inserted into .dofindfont .
The patch for the bug 637424 (Revision 1.24, Nov 21, 2002) broken the
old behavior and left multiple rudiments in code.
Now we restore the old functionality, and make SubstututeFont
to be compartible with CPSI, which replaces a name.
3. Now we define fonts for all aliases in the aliasing/substituting chain.
Not sure it is better than defining only the final one,
but the pre-repository code did so, and was
unintentionaly broken by multiple patches.
4. .stdsubstfont dropped some aliases with no strong reason.
Restoring the old behavior.
5. .tryloadfont damaged the stack balance. It was not visible due to (4).
6. We use a hack to provide the main functionality.
See comment in .aliasfont . A complete solution is too hard.
7. Inserted auxiliary comments about the stack layout.
This change fixes the bugs
687047 "fonts renamed in resulting pdf file"
687111 "Quality of output wth gs8.11 for pdfwrite device is faded as compared to gs6.12"
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

Now pdfwrite does not embed /NimbusMonL-Regu, but recognize its alias Courier
as a standard font name.

Fix (garbager) : The back pointer validity constraint was wrong.
DETAILS :
Bug 687021 "A crash in memory manager"
Here is what happens :
A big chunk is allocated by i_alloc_struct_array.
Later a part of the array is released.
Then another object is allocated in the released area.
Then the object is being relocated.
The old validity constraint in igc_reloc_struct_ptr assumed that the object
is in a chunk of the standard size.
However it is not.
The check fails, and gs_exit() is called.
The latter calls vm_reclaim and falls into an infinite recursion and crashes.
This patch enhances the constraint for instandard (big) chunks.
Unfortunately their sizes can't easy obtain from igc_reloc_struct_ptr,
therefore the new check only works for pointers to same chunk.
A new field (DEBUG=1 only) is inserted into gc_state_s to access the chunk from
igc_reloc_struct_ptr. We're not happy of this solution,
but there is no idea how to improve it.

Some minor clean up for the makefiles:
1. Correct lines that should start with tabs.
2. Clear some lines which only contain spaces.
Fix (PDF interpreter) : Shared CID font descriptors did not work properly.
DETAILS :
When a CID font descriptor is shared with several CID font resources,
must create several font objects with different CIDToGIDMap, DW, DW2
taken from CID font resource dictionaries.
The old code created a single font object with one randomly chosen CIDToGIDMap,
making some glyphs inaccessible, and glyphs could misplace.
New procedures adjustCIDType0, adjustCIDType2 are added into the adjustfont
dictionary, so that now CID fonts are processed in same way as fonts.
Bug 687048 "fonts not rendered correctly".
Besides that, the old code on pdf_font.ps created a CDevProc
for processing DW[2], but it was not properly added to the font dictionary and
was not executed. The new code fixes that.
This issue causes rendering differences.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Provide an extended encoding for glyphshow.
DETAILS :
It fixes the problem 1 described in
the bug 687087 "pdfwrite : A mangled /trademark glyph" :
the glyph was converted to outline.
In the test document a glyphshow uses a glyph outside the font's Encoding.
Now we find a known Postscript encoding containing the glyph,
and encode the glyph with it.
Glyphs with unknown names still convert to outlines.

Bug 686839 "Patch to ignore pdf errors in outlines and links"
A followup form Leon Bottou :
[beg quote]
I found several pdf files with damaged or incorrect annotations (outlines, links)

When using the pdf interpreter with -dDOPDFMARKS, such
errors cause an execution error in the pdf interpreter
The attached patch ignores such errors. The assumption is that
it is better to produce botched pdfmarks than producing an error

Fix : Disable the grid fitting while charproc accumulation.
DETAILS :
This is a partial (minor) fix for the bug 687087 "pdfwrite : A mangled /trademark glyph".
The glyph looks fine but still converts to outline.
This change works for pdfwrite only.
It changes several files in the graphics library, but other devices
should percept this change as algorithmically equivalent.
The core of the change is explained in the comment inserted into gdevpdtt.c :
if (pdev->font3 != 0) {
/* A text operation happens while accumulating a charproc.
This is a case when source document uses a Type 3 font,
which's charproc uses another font.
Since the text operation is handled by the device,
the font isn't converting to a raster (i.e. to a bitmap font).
Disable the grid fitting for the convertion to get a proper outlines,
because the viewer resolution is not known during the accumulation.
Note we set identity CTM in pdf_text_set_cache for the accumilation,
and therefore the font may look too small while the source charproc
interpretation. The document tpc2.ps of the bug 687087 is an example.
*/
penum->device_disabled_grid_fitting = true;
}
It is implemented with defining the new field device_disabled_grid_fitting
into gs_text_enum_common.
Minor changes :
1. In gs_type1_state_s renamed charpath_flag to no_grid_fitting.
We believe the new name reflects the semantics better.
Several function prototypes changed the argument name.
2. decompose_matrix in gxttfb.c changed the prototype,
and disables the TT grid fitting for very small fonts.
(We consider it as a minor change, because currently this portion
is disabled with NEW_TT_INTERPRETER 0 in gx.h).
3. A problem discovered in t1_hinter__set_mapping that
impedes implementing a grid-fitting disabling for small Type 1,2,11 fonts.
A comment is inserted into gxhintn.c about that.
Very samll glyphs can be mangled diring a rasterization, but the mangling
isn't visible in raster with such small sizes.
Therefore the problem isn't important.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None with comparefiles.
The test file tpc2.ps of the bug 687073 doesn't cause a mangled glyph,
rather the glyph still converts to outline.
Don't cache glyphs with a suspect bounding box. The patch tests for
(urx!=0 && llx==urx) || (ury!=0 && lly==ury) but suggestions of a
better test are allways welcome.

Return correct /DeviceGray color space from currentcolorspace operator
inside PaintProc of the uncolored pattern and cache device (bug 627169).
Use igs->color_space to track the current color space.
Fix bug 687080 from customer 710.
DETAILS:
The problem in bug 687080 is definitely a conflict about the current
color space while the PaintProc is being executed. There are two
color space indicators: pgs->color_space and igs->colorspace. Most
of the time these two agree and there is no problem. However during
pattern accumulation pgs->color_space has been temporarily changed
from a pattern color space to DeviceGray. This causes a problem
when the currentcmyk operator is called. Currently, before this fix,
it calls currentcolor which returns a DeviceGray color. Then a
color to CMYK routine is called based upon the color space being
a pattern color space. This then fails since it has the wrong input
color values.
The fix looks at the current color space, in pgs->color_space,
and is special casing DeviceGray. The fix should work better than
the current logic. The only problem area would likely be if we have
other 'temporary' color spaces besides DeviceGray. I do not know of
any and the current logic would also fail.

Fix: Pattern color spaces that used save/restore within the PaintProc
would result in infinite looping with high level devices such as the
pdfwrite device since the restore cleared the pattern cache so that
after the restore, the pattern PaintProc would need to be executed
again. Bug #687052 for customer #411.
DETAILS:
The 'is_dummy' flag in the pattern cache indicates that the cache
entry does not contain bitmap or tile bits, but rather is just
a placeholder for the pattern 'id'.
The patch does not delete entries for pattern color spaces that
have is_dummy != 0. The pdfwrite device creates all pattern cache
entries as dummies.
This change does not result in any regression and, of course, prevents
the infinite looping.

DETAILS :
This completes the fix for the
bug 687054 "pdfwrite should include DefaultGray, DefaultRGB, DefaultCMYK".
The "default" color space resources are being included only if all 3 conditions are satisfied :
1. -dUseCIEColor is set;
2. -dNOSUBCOLORSPACES is set;
3. The source document defines the resource.
If the document doesn't define the resource, but the user wants to include it,
the document to be prepended with
currentglobal true setglobal

/DefaultRGB /ColorSpace 2 copy findresource exch defineresource pop

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Adjust the currentpoint saved back into TextMatrix so that it
does not include the effect of TextRise.
DETAILS :
Bug 686837 "PDF with subscript rendered wrong"
Patch from Raph Levien.
Here is analyzis from Raph Levien :
[beg quote]
the test file is using PDF's Ts operator to adjust the
"text rise", exactly as shown in section 5.2.6 "Text Rise" of the
PDF manual (3rd ed). Ghostscript's rendering is incorrect because
the "settextposition" function (in pdf_ops.ps) updates the TextMatrix
using the current point after showing the text. However, this point
already contains the effect of TextRise. Then, the next time
settextmatrix is invoked, it applies TextMatrix, followed by a
second TextRise.
The patch below simply reverses the effect of TextRise before setting
TextMatrix. I believe that the correct invariant is that
"settextposition" followed by "settextstate" should result in (0, 0)
being the current point in the resulting CTM. I argue that the patch
fulfills the invariant, as follows. Let the current point be (x, y),
relative to TextSaveMatrix. Then, settextposition sets the translate
portion of TextMatrix to (x, y - TextRise). Then, settextmatrix (as
invoked from settextstate) applies TextMatrix followed by TextRise,
for a net translation of (x, y).
Query: is this reasoning still valid for arbitary rotations and scales
in TextMatrix (as set by Tm)? It seems so to me, but I believe testing
is required to establish this definitively.

This patch applies the design grid to emulate an infinite resolution with GridFitTT=0.

The old code literally implemented the Raph's idea to disable the pixel rounding in the
TT interpreter. Such implementation appears not good due to a rounding may apper implicitly
while coordinate computations with low level TT operations.

to separate its output into separations. However the pdfwrite device
does use its process color model colors for specifying output colors in
some backup cases. If a separation were missing then the it would create
an incorrect output color. By splitting out the SeparationOrder parameter
we can still use common routines for pdfwrite and other DeviceN output
devices.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Don't use Tj when real width is smaller than 1% of Widths.

This is a workaround for the bug 687051

See comment in code.
Our workaround is hewristical.
To get a strongly guaranteed result a bug to be reported to Freehand,
which sets a wrong character size with setcachedevice :
the setcachedevice arguments appear 144 times bigger when the actual glyph size.
After converting to PDF it causes too big numeric errors in a PDF viewer.
Adobe Distiller converts this text into a paintings of
individual glyphs, loosing the text features, and enlarging the uncompressed output.
The Adobe's method appears acceptable with this document
because the text actually represents a texture, and the text features (Encoding, etc.)
appears unimportant. We can't implement the Adobe's method because we have no idea
how to recognize in pdfwrite the case of a Type 3 font represents a texture.
Users may want to apply an idiom recognition in PS level for that texture,
to convert it into a regular images for a better coordinate precision.
The ideom approach is independent to this patch, and we believe that
both things can work togeter.

Don't apply Type 1 hinting to charpath.
THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : charpath now creates a different outline than before.
DETAILS :
Adobe doesn't hint charpath.
Not sure why GS did.
This change makes GS to be closer to Adobe and
partially fixes the bug 687044 "strange elements with text".
Note that 'charpath fill' never was equal to 'show'. Neither the old hinter,
nor the new hinter, nor any combination of them in the pair ('charpath', 'show')
give same result. This happens because 'fill' uses the "center pixel inside" rule,
but 'show' uses a different one. With the new hinter 'show' performs
a spot topology analyzis during the rasterization. This rule doesn't belong
to the class of rules, which can be explained in terms "a part of pixel inside".
Thus, since "same" or "closer" result isn't possible,
the criterion for the choice must lie in another space.
I believe that the "Adobe compatibility" is the right one.
Besides that, Ghostscript PDF imperpreter emulates the text rendering modes 1,5,6
with 'charpath stroke', and with the hinted charpath the results look strange.

Provide a means for disabling color space substitution.
DETAILS:
Ghostscript supports substituting CIE and ICC color spaces for DeviceGray
DeviceRGB, and DeviceCMYK color spaces. This is part of the support for
the UseCIEColor feature in PostScript. This substitution is done inside
the PostScript code in lib/gs_devcs.ps.
The recent improvements to the pdfwrite device mean that the interpreter's
color space and color values are now passed to the output file. Since
the color space substitution is done prior to passing the color space to
the interpreter, the original color space is lost if UseCIEColor is
set. This change provides a means to prevent the substitution. Thus
the original color space is passed to the interpreter and on to the
output file for pdfwrite.
pdfwrite : Implement CDevProc handling for CIDFontType 2.

we apply zchar_set_cache to prepare interpreter stacks,
and hook its results in pte->procs->set_cache .

If the color space is new, it needs a complete serialization
for storing the data to PDF resource. We can't delay the serialization
because the life time of the original color space may exceed before
the next comparizon happens. Contrary, if the color space is not new,
it also needs a complete serialization for a full comparison,
to know whether it is same color space.
Thus, a complete serialization is required in any case.

DETAILS :
This patch encloses rudiments of the old hinter with "#ifdef KEEP_OLD_HINTER",
where KEEP_OLD_HINTER is undefined.
This change is algorithmically equivalent,
because the new hinter worked instead the old one. Only exception is
the change to gstype1.c ln 370 : the condition t1_hinter__is_x_fitting(h)
is waeker than the old pcis->fh.use_x_hints, because
the new hinter applies an X-grid fitting with a slightly sloped transforms.

Fix for 686948 Dotted lines messing in PDF. Draw all line cap
types for zero line lengths. Previously only rounded caps were
drawn.
DETAILS:
This is a (minor) revision to a the previous fix from Jeong for
this problem.
For those people who do not remember, this problem involves a dashed
line with a zero line length for the imaged (pen down) part of the
dashed line. Ghostscript currently calls this a degenerate situation
and does nothing except for round line caps. Jeong had previously
proposed changing the test to any line cap except butt caps. Jeong
removed this proposal after testing and finding that Adobe Acrobat
drew thin line segments even for butt line caps.
This proposal simply removes the test for line cap type completely.
It does still leaves a test for dot length = 0.
The routine already contains code for using adjacent line segments
to determine a 'direction' for zero length segments.
Testing with both butt and square line caps and with on axis and
diagonal lines produces results comparable to Adobe Acrobat.
(Acrobat is not consistent with segment widths for the butt joints.)

pdfwrite : Implementing a high level color handling.
DETAILS :
pdfwrite now passes colors identically except minor problems,
which should be fixed soon :
1. rectfill still converts colors.
This happens because gs_rectfill calls dev_proc(pdev,fill_rectangle),
which doesn't pass device color.
Therefore high level color is not available for pdfwrite.
This is an architectural problem which requires a hard decision.
2. Some documents (gs.anotherfailure.pdf is an example) generate

A preparation for high level color handling in vector devices.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for devices derived from gx_device_vector.
Now they must implement the new virtual function can_handle_hl_color.
A simplest impementation compatible to the old behavior is to return false.
DETAILS :
The new code uses the new functions gx_hld_save_color and
gx_hld_saved_color_equal instead the old gx_saved_color_update.
This allows devices to know when the client color changes and
to generate the appropriate output. This affects
pdfwrite, pswrite, epswrite, pxlmono and pxlcolor devices.
However the devices still write device colors to output.
An implementation of writing the client color
in pdfwrite, pswrite, epswrite will be the next improvement.
Since a big part of color code is shared with pxlmono and pxlcolor,
we need a switch for checking whether the device can handle
high level colors. For this purpose we add a new
virtual function can_handle_hl_color to gx_device_vector_procs.
Currently all implementation of this function return false,
and all devices still write process colors.
A minor change : psdf_setfillcolor and psdf_setstrokecolor
are removed because they were never called.
Fix decimal value of NoView annotation flag in annotvisible logic.
Fixes bug #687010.
DETAILS:
On page 493 of the PDF 1.4 reference, NoView is specified as bit
position 6, which would seem to correspond to the old value of 64.
However, for some reason Adobe counts its bit positions starting at
1, so the actual numeric value is 2^(bit pos - 1), or 32.

Removing the obsolete code DROPOUT_PREVENTION 0.
DETAILS :
The macros PSEUDO_RASTERIZATION, ADJUST_SERIF, CHECK_SPOT_CONTIGUITY
are left for further developmant. We intend to convert the filling algorithm into
a template like we did with gxdtfill.h . The goal is to generate
several instances of the algorithm optimized for different cases :
a non-character fill (with the path adjustment and with no dropout prevention),
character fill (with no path adjustment and with dropout prevention),
and spot topology analyzis for autohinting (no adjustment, no dropout prevention,
store trapezoids into a special storage). The ADJUST_SERIF code
probably will die after True Type hinter is done.

hinter and then the old hinter (gxhint1.c, gxhint2.c, gxhint3.c) to be

Version 8.11 (2003-08-16)
Ghostscript 8.11 is the first stable release since 8.00,
building on the features in the 8.10 beta, and with numerous
additional fixes and improvements.
In particular, font rendering is greatly improved (thanks to Igor
Melichev's new hinting code), PDF 1.4 transparency rendering is much
more likely to be correct, and there is better support for CID font
substitution. Processing of incorrect and broken PDF files is also
improved, including files corrupted xref tables and non-ASCII font
names. Many other smaller fixes are included.
Users may want to experiment with the new -dAlignToPixels=0 setting,
which enables subpixel positioning for antialiased font rendering.
The following bugs.ghostscript.com numbers were open at
the time of this release:
The mechanism for locating resources has changed since 8.00. See the usage documentation for details of the new mechanism.
Ghostscript now runs in save level 1 by default, which has changed since
8.10. Jobservers will need to use the -dNOOUTERSAVE option to restore the
old behavior.

Cleans up the behavior of the .tempfile operator, primarily making it
consistent across all the platforms, ensuring that the TMPDIR and TEMP
environment variables are effective, the system temp directory is used
when these are not specified, and the permissions for tempfile
creation work as expected (allowed in the simple case, but closing off
potential vulnerabilities in other cases. Intended as a final fix for
bug #686922.
DETAILS:
1. The permissions behavior of .tempfile is changed so that simple
prefixes are always allowed, absolute pathname prefixes are checked
using the PermitFileWriting logic, and other cases are disallowed. In
particular, it is no longer possible to specify temp prefixes relative
to the current directory, or as subdirectories of the standard temp
directory. Both such cases are potential security holes, and are
probably not useful in any real application.
2. The meaning of gp_open_scratch_file() is made more consistent
across the platforms. In particular, it is now the clear
responsibility of this function to add the appropriate temp
directory. As such, gp_gettmpdir() is no longer exported in the public
gp.h interface (gpmisc.h is intended only for the convenience of gp_
implementations).
3. On VMS, gp_open_scratch_file() didn't previously add the
temporary directory pathname. Now it does.
4. On Windows, gp_open_scratch_file()'s behavior was somewhat
inconsistent, calling GetTempPath() only when the length of the TMPDIR
or TEMP environment variables overflowed the buffer provided. It
now additionally uses GetTempPath() in the cases where these
environment variables are not set.
5. Since gp_open_scratch_file() now takes responsibility for
determining the temporary directory, ztempfile() no longer attempts
to do this.
Convert ASCII range font names found during the FONTPATH scanning to
simole ASCII aliases (original Unicode names preserved). Fixes bug 686861
for customer 131.
DETAILS:
This is an interim patch that establishes the alias in the ASCII code
range if (and only if) the high byte of ALL characters in the name are
NULL (\000).
The future improved implementation would be to add a UTF-8 fontname when
the TTF font has the name in Unicode. This would allow simple PostScript
applications that use the 8-bit character name to work as this patch does.

Pass path across grestore using base "identity" coordinates to prevent
limitcheck errors. The upath operator returns coordinates in the current
user space, but these are no longer valid across a CTM change such as
"grestore" or "setgstate" causes. Fixes SF bug #687001 for customers
580 and 590.
DETAILS:
The patch gets the upath using identity user space, then stuffs it into
the graphics state after the grestore in the same identity space
restoring the CTM of the grestore after the uappend.
Both grestore_nopath and setgstate are modified. These could probably
be refactored later to share PS code, but the value is minimal (IMO).
Interesting that this hadn't turned up before, but two customers tripped
over this recently.

Fixes two pointers to freed objects that were left dangling
in the PDF 1.4 transparency logic. Fixes bug #686994.
DETAILS:
With some test files, saved graphics states had held on to pointers to
the device filter stack that had already been freed by a
gs_pop_device_filter() call. These dangling pointers can cause garbage
collection corruption. This patch introduces reference counting
discipline to these pointers so that the dfilter_stack objects are not
actually freed until the last reference is dropped.
A similar but simpler argument applies to the pdf14_ctx object in the
pdf14_device. This patch simply sets the pointer to NULL when freeing
the context.
Remove redunant prototypes from gp_mac.h and modernise the implementation

space and the pointer was inside a gs_image_enum_common structure.
The situation occurs when an error is found in the data source for
for an image. The actual cause was that the image enum common
structure should have also been released.
Note: The data source checking is the only place that has this
problem. After the data source checking, the image enum common
structure pointer is placed into an image enum structure. Errors
that are detected after that point call gx_image_cleanup which
handles all of the data in the image enum structure including the
image enum common structure.

Adjust internal string lengths to allow for long path/filenames such as

for after this changes, but now interpreter internals won't cause a failure.
Customer 590 found this with a long GenericResourceDir. Bug #686989.

While 8192 is also arbitrary, now all strings used for path/filenames are
the same and probably long enough for a while.

looses all significant digits when a width is smaller than 1.

Add an initial outermost save unless -dNOOUTERSAVE option is specified.
Fixes Bug #686972 and others that were closed with the instructions to

DETAILS:
The initial save is needed for several ProcSets from Adobe applications
and those of other vendors that expect objects in global VM to be retained
after a restore that would otherwise remove objects in global VM defined
after the corresponding save.
This kept recurring because several ProcSets from Adobe, Quark and others
expect to run under a job server. The -dNOOUTERSAVE is needed for backward
compatibility and for those that want to run under a job server and want
global VM to be restored between jobs (as expected under a job server).
Note that the save object is discarded so that it cannot be used to restore
to the state prior to .setsafe and thus circumvent security when -dNOSAFER
is used and .setsafe or .locksafe is subsequently used to go to SAFE mode.

Improve native font enumeration on MacOS. This feature is still not enabled.
DETAILS:
There are six different api calls to open a resource file on MacOS Carbon,
all of various provenance and history. We were using FSOpenResourceFile()
in our FOND parsing code because it will open the data fork of .dfont files
or the resource fork of resource font files. Very convenient. However, it
fails for some common font files with broken resource maps. Therefore we

Read a PostScript embedded ICC input profile into a bytestring (.bigstring)
rather than a temp file. This is faster and doesn't leave the temp file
laying around. Bug #686926 for Artifex customer #1110.
DETAILS:
Since we don't know the size of the bytestring needed to invoke .bigstring,
we read the ICC profile data into an array of 64,000 byte strings, then
create the bytestring and fill it with putinterval.
This bytestring then becomes the source for a ReusableStreamDecode filter
which is a seekable filter. We'd like to have simply used SubFileDecode
filter and ASCIIHexDecode as the source for ReusableStreamDecode, but
this only works if SubFileDecode has a count.

DETAILS :
The patch fixes CID fonts that provide a lesser CIDCount than

we need to provide a bigger CIDCount since we don't
re-encode the text. The text should look fine if the

Thanks to Ray Johnston for the fault analyzis.
Initial check in of the native font enumeration mechanism with an implementation for MacOS. The
code is currently disabled pending resolution of bugs regarding some font files.
DETAILS:
This adds a trio of gp_enumerate_fonts calls which implement an interator for querying the native
operating system for font files. This is essentially required to make use of the support for
reading resource-based font collection files on MacOS since there is no convenient way to
construct a Fontmap by hand. Thus our initial implementation focusses there and only stubs are
provided on other platforms. However, it would generally be a useful feature on any system that
provides such services.
An iterator object is created with gp_enumerate_fonts_init() and released with
gp_enumerate_fonts_free(). Between these calls, each font is returned by a successive
call to gp_enumerate_fonts_next() as a pair of C strings giving the access path and reported font
name.
On MacOS these are implemented using the FMFontIterator API from Carbon. Unfortunately, while this
returns font names and files, it does not provide details about the resource internals so we must
open the file and extract the resource id corresponding to the font itself. It also is not always
possible to obtain the correct postscript name from the OS call.
Connection is made to postscript through the .getnativefonts operator, implemented in zfontenum.c.
I handles the interation and places the results on the stack as an array of two element arrays,
each representing the name and path as postscript strings. New code in gs_fonts.ps calls this and
adds the entries to the fontmap after first calling .findfontname on each path to verify
accessibility and in case the reported font name is unreliable. This is implemented as the
.buildnativefontmap procedure, which is called by the font location logic if a requested font
is not found in the Fontmap.
Caveats: This can be a very expensive operation, so like the FONTPATH directory scanning it should
probably only happen once in a given session, instead of every time a font isn't found. The macos
implementation could also be considerably streamlined.
Apparently Metrowerks CodeWarrior defines _WINDOWS_ instead of the normal __WINDOWS__. Support both for determining the calling conventions of the client api. Problem reported by Des Courtney as bug 686934.

Remove inclusions as it defines types that conflict with our
std*.h on HPUX and probably other systems. Fix for bug 686920.
Also correct the copyright dates for gxhintn.c.
DETAILS:
limits.h was defining ushort on HPUX which conflicts with the definition
imported in stdpre.h. There are two approaches within our portability
framework: don't use these defines, or make them part of the
output from genarch. Since there's only one use in the code (for
MIN_LONG) I simply defined it at the top of the file.
The test used should work on all 2's complement systems and would
probably fail miserably on anything else. It was the most portable
define I could come up with. A less assuming variant
((long)(ARCH_MAX_ULONG>>1)+1) also works but generates a warning about
the overflow.
genarch.c could of course test a variety of candidates and look for the
rollover. We could also switch to autoconf for provisioning the whole
set of defines. This was chosen as the simplest fix for the time.

DETAILS:
Incrementally downloadable CIDFont has GlyphDirectory key. According to
PLRM3 p. 376 "The binary data section of a CIDFont with a GlyphDirectory entry
does not need a charstring offset table or charstrings; if present, they will
be ignored". PLRM3 says nothing about GDBytes entry but it seems logical that
the entry is no longer needed when the structure it describes is ignored.
Old code used 0 as a default GDBytes value but required explicit specification
to be > 0. New code permits explicit 0 value because "Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0 for
Word" generates it.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Convert Type 0 fonts with multiple CID font descendents into
Type 0 fonts with single CID font descendents (the part 3).
DETAILS :
At last we got a non-degenerate test for multiple CID font descendents
and could debug this stuff with a real document.
This patch mixes several changes :
- In some cases CIDFontType 2 fonts wrongly computed glyph indices ignoring GlyphDirectory.
The new function z11_glyph_info works for it.
- The text decomposition in gdevpdtc.c mixed font indices of various font descendents.
- font->procs.get_glyph_info sometimes received glyph indices
instead glyph names or CIDs. This happened with subglyphs of a CIDFontType 2 glyph.
This patch improves the semantics of gs_glyph with distinguishing
CIDs and GIDs with a new tag in the 2nd high order bit.
The new macro GS_MAX_GLYPH_INDEX and related stuff
works for it.
- gdevpdtd.c tried to compute CID font features using glyph names,
which don't exist in this case. Replaced with CIDs.
- In gdevtrac.c a wrong glyph space was specified enumerating glyphs
(a minor change, since gdevtrac.c is almost an example).
- Fixed a compiler warning in gdevdevn.c .
Working on this patch, we can see rudiments
in pdfwrite code, which are inherited from pre-8.00 code
(before stable font copies are implemented), which to be fixed someday :
- subset_glyphs arguments in gdevpsft.c looks always NULL
and probably to be removed;
- COPY_GLYPH_BY_INDEX is now obsolete and to be removed;
- glyph enumeration procedures (*enumerate_glyph*) sometimes retrieve
a wrong tag in gs_glyph values. The new macro GS_GLYPH_TAG works against it,
rather an improvement to enumeration procedures would be useful.
The patch is debugged with korea.ps from the bug #686894.
After this change the embedded composite font with 2 CIDFontType 2
descendents is correctly decomposed into 2 Type 0 fonts with
single descendents (the old (gs8.10) code converts it into a Type 3
with outlines). The generated PDF satisfies the PDF specification
and Ghostscript can handle it. Meanwhile Acrobat Reader 4,5,6
fails with it. It appears an old known problem :
if a Type 42 font and a CIDFontType 2 with a non-standard CMap
appear in same PDF document, Acrobat Reader fails.
We believe it's a bug in Acrobat reader, because if we
modify the document with removing portions of text so that
only one of the 2 fonts is really used, Acrobat Reader renders it fine.
It fails only when both things are really used for rendering.
A workaround for this problem to do separately.
Process encryption dictionary after reading all parts of xref. Old code
resolved encryption dictionary after reading the latest part of xref only

Add a prefix header file for the MacOS Carbon build to enable target-specific settings.
DETAILS:
Metrowerks CodeWarrior doesn't really have an equivalent of the -D commandline option to set CPP
defines at compile time. This makes it difficult to set target-specific #ifdef's, for example the
__CARBON__ switches used in the MacOS support code. The closest thing offered is a hook in the
project file for a 'prefix' header file that will be prepended to each source file as it is fed to
the preprocessor. We add such a file for the carbon build, and enable it in the project file xml.
The conditional in macgenmcpxml.sh is a direct comparison for the Ghostscript carbon shlib name,
which is excessively brittle. Something like perl's =~ /carbon/i on the target name would be
preferable, but I couldn't figure out how to do that reliably in sh.

remaining bits. Thus the first fix. However there may be other
devices with this problem so I am including the fix in gdevm32.c.

Stream 'position' was not update correctly under some conditions.
Fixes Bug #686859 for customer #600.
DETAILS:
The stream position was not updated if the buffer was emptied by
sgets, which then called to spgetcc. The latter would reset the
read pointers needed in order to account for the empty buffer.

pdfwrite : Convert Type 0 fonts with multiple CID font descendents into
Type 0 fonts with single CID font descendents (part 2).
DETAILS :
The previous patch appears wrong for the case when same CID font is used with
different CMaps. Creating multiple Type 0 fonts for this case,
assigning them a composite font name with CMap name.
Minor changes :
- a compiler warning in gdevpdfv.c .
- a wrong error code was returned from zfcid0.c .
Double-equals ('==') for string comparison is not portable shell. Thanks

Fix (pdfwrite) : Convert Type 0 fonts with multiple CID font descendents into
Type 0 fonts with single CID font descendents.
DETAILS :
Bug 686869 "Rasterized characters".
Our testbase doesn't test this case. Rather the test file for 686869
contains a font with 2 CID descendents, it actually uses only the 1st
descendent, so it's not a complete test.
The new code fails with 401-01.ps . This test file is buggy and
requires a special workaround, which should be a separate patch.
The main change is gdevpdtc.c, gdevpdtf.h .
Minor changes :
- added a new argument to a set of CMap management functions to access a
submap corresponding to a specified font index;
- gs_cmap_init now reserves so many gs_id numbers,
as many fonts it refer;
- removed some unused variables (gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdfv.c, gdevpdtb.c).
Fix (pdfwrite) : Removing the 'vdata' argument to simplify internal interfaces.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
Note that 'size' argument is replaced with 'bsize', which now passes the
buffer size rather than text size. Added some dynamical checks to ensure the
buffer size is enough.
The 8.10 release is an incremental release from 8.00. It contains
some fairly substantial reworking of important modules, most notably
in the font rendering. Because of the extent of the changes, we're
labelling this as a beta release. It should be quite usable, but
it hasn't been as thoroughly wrung out as our production releases.
The major new feature improved font rendering by Igor Melichev. The
new font renderer prevents dropouts intelligently rather than relying
on "fill_adjust" (which has the side effect of making the font
bolder).
In addition, pdfwrite continues to evolve and improve. Most patterns
and type 3 fonts are now output as high-level objects rather
than being rasterized.
This is our first release with support for JBIG2 encoded images, using
our jbig2dec library. This decoder is not yet complete, but
successfully decodes many PDF files containing JBIG2 images.
This release also contains an important security fix. If you are using
Ghostscript in a security-critical application, we recommend you
upgrade now.
Finally, we include the usual bug fixes and improvements. Please
exercise this release thoroughly, so we can make the next release
rock-solid.
The following bugs.ghostscript.com numbers were open at
the time of this release:
The mechanism for locating resources has changed. See the usage
documentation for details of the new mechanism.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Merge the Encoding of the 'complete' font copy when merging fonts.
DETAILS :
"PPI-ProPag 2.6.1.4 (archivePg)" creates multiple font copies with reduced encodings
(we believe it is poorly designed), and we merge the copies back to a single font.
Doing so the Encoding was not merged for the "complete" font copy.

Fix (pdfwrite) : 'loca' was wrong in some cases embedding a TT font subset.
DETAILS :
By TT spec, when a TT font uses indexToLocFormat==0, glyph offsets in 'glyf' must be even.
The old code doesn't take care about the glyph alignment while converting a font
from indexToLocFormat==1 to indexToLocFormat==0.
This patch inserts padding bytes into 'glyf' to align glyph offsets with indexToLocFormat==0.

Add a warning message if the rebuilding logic found two or more objects
with the same object numbers and the same generation numbers.
2003-05-19 05:20 Dan Coby
1. Ignore data after %%EOF whicl scanning for objects or trailer.
2. Allow objects with duplicate object and generation numbers.
3. Change heuristic for finding the trailer dictionary.
DETAILS:
The previous testing had on the rebuild facility had verified that
all test files ran without apparent problems. However a full check
of the files in the regression test suite has found three cases of
the output images not matching between the normal PDF processing
and the rebuild processing.
1. Many real life PDF files contain garbage after the final %%EOF
marker. Ghostscript has known about and tolerated this situation for
some time. I found a test case (adesso6.pdf) in which the repair
logic was finding what it considered a valid object in this garbage.
The revisions determine the location of the last %%EOF and form a
count of the data left in the file after the %%EOF. This count is
used to exclude this data from the object scanning and the trailer
location scanning.
2. A test case was found in which two objects were found to have
the same object number and revision number. By my reading of the
PDF spec, the newer object should have a higher revision number.
However the object scanner was changed to accept the last such
object as the desired one. Most PDF editors (at least Adobe) put
updated objects at the end of the file.
3. A test case was found in which a Linearized PDF file had been
edited and a new xref list and trailer dictionary were placed at
the end of the file. The heuristic for finding the trailer dictionary
was changed to check the specified location of the 'first' xref list.
If this location is in the first half of the file, then the start of
the file is searched for the first trailer. Otherwise the end of the
file is searched for the last trailer.
With these three changes, all of the PDF files in the regression
test suite produce matching results using either the normal PDF
processing or the rebuild procedures.

The TrueType font loading was quite a bit slower than it should be. This
optimized font loader is up to ten times faster. Fixes bug #686851.
DETAILS:
Analysis of the time spent during TT font loading led to two problem areas.
The first was that the cmap array was built inefficiently when their was
a large glyph range, that had large holes was built with a loop that
called a PostScript function 'putglyph' to fill unused areas with .notdef
(glyph ID 0). The revision pre-fills the 'glyphs' array with .notdef from
a static array pre-filled with 1024 zeroes.
The second problem was the code that built the encoding using the 'post'
table. This code had a 'repeat' loop to find the name from the start of
the glyphNames section of the 'post' table for each named glyph in the
encoding. By creating a temporary cross reference, only one pass through
the names is made.

Correct the implementation of the new file_name_combine operators for MacOS.
Details:
The parent directory reference prefix is '::' rather than ':'. Also, a path
that begins with the ':' directory separator is a relative path from the
current working directory.
The more substantive change is in the implementation on gp_check_root(), intended
to return the 'root' prefix of a path, if any. The previous implementation returned
the location of the first patch separator, causing initialization to fail when
attempting to determine if GenericResourceDir ends in a directory separator in
gs_res.c.
Absolute paths are not a well defined concept on Classic MacOS. In that case we just
return 0, as if no path were ever absolute. This likely causes other problems not
addressed here. In the Carbon build, we make use of the FSGetVolumeInfo() call
to enumerate all mounted volumes, attempting to match each one. This call returns a
16-bit char unicode name for each volume which we make no attempt to convert to
whatever 8-bit encoding ghostscript might receive the path in orginally; however
we do match the lower 8 bits for the first 256 characters, which works well enough
for English volume names.
Note that this patch only provides support for MacOS-style paths with ':' as a
separator. The Metrowerks Standard Library also accepts unix-style paths and
on MacOS X users will expect to be able to use them. Support will need to be
extended to include this.

This is a set of routines for attempting to recover PDF files which
have been mangled by EOL conversions. This is a facility which Adobe
Acrobat has and thus we need to duplicate.
DETAILS:
THE PROBLEM:
The basic problem is that PDF files contain 'xref tables' which are
really object location indexes which contain the absolute position of
objects in a file. If a file is changed by converting the type of
EOLs then the file size is changed and the xref data is no longer
valid. In many cases, Acrobat can rebuild these files. It is not
always possible to always rebuild files. If the files contain binary
data which contains line feed or new line characters then the binary
data may be mangled and cannot be rebuilt. We need to be able to
duplicate Acrobat's ability for rebuilding files. (Note: In theory
one can get more and more sophisticated about rebuilding files. The
techniques used in this code are quite simple but effective.)
THE BASIC SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem consists of several pieces. The first piece
was to modify the pdf interpreter's internal representation of the xref
data. The xref data is stored into two larrays. The larray Generations
contains the object's generation number. This was not changed. The
larray Objects contained the location of the xref entry in the file.
This was set initially by the readxref routine. Since the xref entry
data is not valid (for mangled files) this was not useful. Objects
was changed to contain the actual location of the object in the file.
This actually eliminates one step in the process. Previously when an
object was referenced, the location of the xref entry in the file was
obtained from Objects and then the xref entry was read to determine
the actual location of the desired object.
The second part of the process was to put .internal_stopped trapping
around the two usages of readxref to catch any failures of that routine.
An error message is printed and we then try to rebuild the locations
of the objects and find the proper trailer dictionary.
The third part of the process is to locate the objects in the file.
This is done by a simple scan of the file looking for lines beginning
with x y obj where x is a object number and y is object generation
number and obj is the text 'obj'. In theory this simple strategy can
be confused by binary data but with over 156 files tested, no problems
were found.
The fourth part of the process is to locate the appropriate 'trailer'
dictionary. There is a trailer dictionary with each xref list. In
theory there can be many trailer dictionaries in a file. The only
desired trailer dictionary is the one associated with the 'first'
xref list. Unfortunately since we cannot count on the location
information in a mangled file, following the xref links is problematic.
The solution used is simple. For Linearized pdf files, we find the
first (at the front of the file) trailer dictionary otherwise we use
the last trailer dictionary in the file. This simple method works
for the 151 known good files (see testing below) and all five known
bad files.
Included are diffs for the changes and the new file lib/pdf_rbld.ps.
The only change in the src directory was the addition of pdf_rbld.ps
to the int.mak file.
TESTING:
There have been two sets of test run on this code. The first set
consists of running 151 pdf files from our regression test suite.
These files are not mangled. However by disabling the normal readxref
routine, the new code was exercised. All 151 pdf files were displayed
correctly.
The second set of tests consists of actual problem files. I was able
to locate five files that we have been sent that have been mangled.
file name Ghostscript Acrobat 5.0.5
1003.pdf okay okay
cm_test.pdf okay okay
precon.pdf okay fail
ServletReport.pdf fail fail
dauben.pdf fail fail
As expected, not all files can be recovered. I was pleased that,
for this small sample, we did better than Acrobat.

Revised fix for 686872 token operator sometimes leaves extra data on stack.
With some strings, the token operator can leave extra data on the stack.
In the test case, the token operator is generating a syntaxerror. The
error is expected. However the token operator is leaving 3 items on the
stack. It should only leave one: The original string. This fix
corrects the problem.
DETAILS:
The problem was found while developing the xref data recovery facility
which uses the token operator to scan PDF files (including binary data).
The fix consists of simply recording the operator stack level at the
start of the string processing and restoring it if an error occurs.
The revision to the fix consists of using the 'pop' macro to modify
the o_stack pointer instead of directly setting the pointer.

2003-05-15 10:01 Russell Lang
Log message:
For the pngalpha device, set the default background color to white
in the bKGD chunk. Add an option -dBackgroundColor=16#RRGGBB to
explicitly set the background color. This is needed by a common
web browser that doesn't correctly support PNG with alpha transparency.
DETAILS:
Programs that don't fully support alpha transparency let
libpng convert an RGBA image to RGB. The background color
used is either provided by the program, or in the bKGD
chunk, or it falls back to gray. MSIE was defaulting
to a gray background which is not commonly used on web
pages. By writing a white bKGD chunk, PNG files will display
correctly against a white background in MSIE.
If a solid color for a web page background is used
with , then PNG images appearing
on that page would need to be created with
-dBackgroundColor=16#CCCC00.
For textured background there is no hope.
Microsoft needs to fix Internet Explorer.

Fix : margin_set::y was not initialized starting a fill.
DETAILS :
It could indereministically execute some code in start_margin_set,

Fix for 686857 bitcmyk has problems with -dBITS=2. This fix corrects
a problem with the halftone calculations if the number of bits per
component is more than one and the process color model is subtractive.
DETAILS:
This problem was caused by a change (1.2) to src/gxdevndi.c
src/gxdevndi.c
Modified gx_render_device_DeviceN to always perform the conversion
from color component intensity values to halftone levels in an
additive sense, if the gray_colorspace operand is true. This is
necessary for compatibility with the pre-DeviceN code.
However the change only worked for max_value = 1. This is the typical
case of 1 bit halftoning. The fix works for any value of max_value.

of products.
(1) /P (page offset hint table) key in hint stream dictionary has never been
generated by Adobe products. It is no longer required in PDF 1.5.
(2) Per-page items 4 and 5 of the page offset hint table start from 1st
page, not 2nd page as the spec claims.

2. The debug graphic output wrongly drew integral pixels.

Correct a programming error that prevented macos native font loading from working
under Metrowerks Codewarrior.
DETAILS:
Integers were being read by |-ing together the results of successive fgetc() calls
within a single expression. Binary or doesn't have a specific order of evaluation in
C so while gcc read the bytes in the correct order Metrowerks was re-ordering the first
two reads resulting in a byte-swap error. The new code uses fread() followed by
reordering based on array index.

If reopening the display device fails after setting the
callback, display an error message. Allocate the large display
bitmap using a low level allocator to avoid exceeding the memory
limit of the previously used device stable memory allocator.
Fixes bugs 686836 "-r doesn't work" and duplicate 686838
"Ghostscript doesn't do anything".
DETAILS:
The display memory device and the raster including line pointers
was allocated using the stable allocator of the display device.
This had a limit of 1Mbyte, which was exceeded when the
resolution was greater then 114dpi. This would cause subsequent
allocations to fail, but it appears that nothing else tried to
use this allocator after the display device. The display device
was changed to allocate the line pointers separately to allow
the raster to be allocated in special memory, e.g. video memory
or shared memory. This caused the subsequent allocation of the
line pointers to fail when resolution exceeded 114dpi.
The modified code now allocates the raster with
gs_alloc_byte_array_immovable, which allocates directly from the
C heap, not subject to any memory limit apart from the overall
-K limit if specified, and is not subject to garbage collection.
The normal allocator now has sufficient memory to allocate the
line pointers without problem. The raster pointer is removed
from the pointers that are enumerated during garbage collection.

Log Message:
This is the fix for 686798 /typecheck in --setcolorspace-- with
-sDEVICE=x11cmyk. This fix increases the stack checking while sampling
tint transform functions. It also makes the error handling more robust
for invalid tint transforms.
DETAILS:
It is sad to say but this is a bug that we have seen before, several
times. Ray and I fixed this problem at the last code fest in September.
However that fix did not make its way into CVS.
The cause of this problem is that certain proc sets from Adobe violate
the PLRM. In the test file, the proc set is from Adobe Photoshop
Version 5.5. The proce set contains tint transform functions which
violate the specification in two different ways. In one case, the tint
transform function changes stack values outside of the given color value.
This is used as a test to see if the interpreter supports the given
duotone color space. If so then the proc set creates a color space with
a tint transform which is unbalanced in its stack usage. This could
cause a stack overflow/underflow during sampling of the tint transform.
Adobe apparently assumes that this tint transform is never executed
since the function starts with the name /NeverReached.
The fix involves checking the stack depth after each execution of the
tint transform function and verifying that it matches the correct
position given the number of function inputs and outputs. If so then
the stack is returned to its original position and the sampling is
aborted. Changes in lib/gs_sepr.ps make the tint transform sampling
logic more robust in case the tint transform modifies the top of the
stack. (This occurs in this case since the tint transform is actually
popping extra items off of the stack.) We also create a dummy tint
transform function if sampling fails. The later was done to prevent
the /typecheck error and give pdfwrite something with which to work.

Following PDF 1.4, chapter 4.6.2 pattern is instantiated in the graphic state
harvested at the beginning of the pattern's parent content stream. This patch
fixes PS graphic state parameters only. PDF specific parameters are still
inherited from the current graphic state.
Bug #686834
DETAILS:
PS makepattern operator saves only PS graphic state for later use in PaintProc.
GS PDF interpreter implements PDF graphic state as a stack of dictionaries.
We should save full PDF graphic state and set it manually during execution of
PaintProc.
2003-04-24 19:42 Ray Johnston
Fix ASCII85Decode filter to match Adobe's when strings that are not multiples

2003-04-24 06:37 Ray Johnston
Add processing of %%BeginICCProfile DSC section for (some) EPS file, notably
Adobe Photoshop. Final part of fix for bug 686797.
DETAILS:
The change to gs_pdfwr.ps was due to the fact that it did not properly
balance the stack.
The method of trying /N 4 + /DeviceCMYK, then /N 3 + /DeviceRGB, finally
/N 1 + /DeviceGray is a *hack* that could be avoided if we knew what color
space the ICC profile expected. Since .seticcspace fails if /N doesn't
match what is in the profile, this seems like a reasonable hack.

This is an equivalent change.
2003-04-21 15:39 Igor Melichev
A preparation for non-convert PatternType 1 to rasters with pdfwrite.
DETAILS:
The patch defines a new device virtual function pattern_manage,
and a default implementation for it. The purpose is to inform
the device about pattern accumulation and to bypass the installation of
gx_device_pattern_accum when the device can handle the pattern command stream.
The new code is temporary disabled with PATTERN_STREAM_ACCUMULATION 0
macro defined in gx.h . When it is 0, the new device virtual
function is provided but never called. The behavior should not change.
The rest of this log message describes PATTERN_STREAM_ACCUMULATION 1.
In this mode pdfwrite doesn't convert PatternType 1 to rasters.
It creates good PDFs at least with 012-09.ps and 269-01.ps
(these are very complicated cases with patterns inside charprocs and patterns),
but there are problems when rasterizing the resulting PDFs with GS.
(A new bug 686834 issued for tracking this problem).
When a pattern stream is handled by the device,
we can't create a proper content of gx_color_tile.
However we need a correct content if the pattern is used
for rasterization of an object which the device can't handle
at the high level. An example is pdf14 device during a PDF re-distillation,
which handles transparency. Another example is
a conversion of composite fonts, which have multiple CID descendents -
pdfwrite still converts such fonts to raster fonts.
Since a proper contents may be needed for gx_device_color,
we define a new flag gx_color_tile::is_dummy, and account it in
gx_pattern_cache_lookup. Thus, if the current device is cache device
installed for the font conversion, the tiles with is_dummy == true
are being be dismissed. Vice versa, tiles with is_dummy == false are
being dismissed when current device is pdfwrite.
We do not move parts of zpcolor.c code to gx_default_pattern_manage,
because we don't see a proper place for it to be compatible to
the FEATURE_DEVS configurability. Instead that, we implement
a branching inside gsptype1.c and zpcolor.c . If more branches will
be necessary in future, this to be improved with moving code
fragments to specific implementations of pattern_manage,
together with improving the FEATURE_DEVS modularity.
Delaying this reorganization until a strong reason appears.
NOTE: The patch extends the device interface with gs_pattern1_instance_t.
Minor Changes :
1. Fixed some MSVC warnings.
2. gx_pattern_alloc_cache passed a wrong client ID to memory manager.
3. Skipped some unuseful graphic state parameters while a contents substream accumulation.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Applying a generic resource writing method to charprocs.
DETAILS:
pdf_write_resource_objects does it fine after a small change
to pdf_begin_data_stream.
This patch must not change any behawior except the PDF object writing sequence.
Minor Changes :
1. Removed rudiments of a dead development branch.
2. Generalized pdf_enter_substream and pdf_begin_data_stream .
2003-04-18 14:57 Ralph Giles
Calling the gsapi polling function from the Macintosh gp_check_interrupts
function voilates the layering of the interpreter over the graphics library.
Therefore we isolate the offending code to a separate module 'macpoll.dev'
in a fashion analogous to the mspoll feature dev available on the windows
build. Enable this by default in the CodeWarrior build.
Partial fix for Bug 686810. After a patch by Russell Lang.

Call the gsapi polling function from the Macintosh gp_check_interrupts
function. Partial fix for Bug 686810 "CHECK_INTERRUPTS should allow
shorter worst-case abort".
2003-04-17 09:24 Russell Lang
Call the gsapi polling function during the main interpreter loop
timeslice code. This allows a client to abort the interpreter
when running "{} loop". Fixes Bug 686810 "CHECK_INTERRUPTS
should allow shorter worst-case abort".
DETAILS:
PostScript which executed an infinite loop could not be stopped
by the gsapi client. The time slice code in the main
interpreter loop is executed once for every 32767 passes through
the interpreter loop. Within the time slice code we now call
the polling function and if the return value is non-zero, we set
code to gs_error_interrupt to cause the interpreter to exit.
This was not a client bug (as far as I know). The original
request was from Zoltan Biro.

Define HAVE_STDINT_H in stdpre.h on MacOS. Required for a clean compile
under CodeWarrior.
DETAILS:
The jbig2dec library and headers require some of the C99 types. We've
made sure those are available, but the mechanism depended on either
passing -DHAVE_STDINT_H on the commandline or windows-specific typedefs.
Since there's no convenient way pass single defines through codewarrior
that would be seen by both the jbig2dec and the gs sources, we add a
platform-specific define to headers in each codebase.
2003-04-17 00:23 Ralph Giles

Test the optimization compiler flag '-O2' before using it since some vendor
compilers have different syntax.
DETAILS:
This is really just a quick fix; it doesn't check flags for the debug or profile
builds. A full solution would also try known options based on the compiler
being used. It's not fair to just disable optimization if -O2 doesn't work.
2003-04-16 13:38 Ralph Giles

Fix (pdfwrite) : Compress charproc streams.
DETAILS:
This patch mixes 3 changes :
1. Applying a compression to vector charprocs. Bitmap charprocs are
left uncompresed. The written PDF should have same contents as before.
2. A preparation to Type 1 pattern accumulation with implementing
a pdf_substream_save stack. Moved accum_char_proc_* fields to there.
This change should be equivalent.
3. Renamed cos_write_stream_from_pipeline to cos_stream_from_pipeline,
because the old name appears confusable.
A new function with the old name is defined for another purpose.
No regression changes expected.
2003-04-15 14:36 Ralph Giles

Fix (pdfwrite) : Use cos_write_stream for charproc accumulation.
DETAILS:
pdfwrite crashes with -r72 012-09.ps due to 2 nesting separates :
one for charproc accumulator, and another one for graphic state object inside it.
This problem does not happen with comparefiles with the default value of -r.
Meanwhile the problem is harmful because it occasionally depends on CTM.
Minor changes :
- A misprint in "pdf_begin_char_proc_gerneric".
- Removed some unused variables.
- Inserted some necessary #include statements.
2003-04-13 23:14 Igor Melichev
Fix (dropout prevention) : sfill was unintentionally slowed down.
DETAILS:
In some cases the scanline algorithm appears to speed up the sfill in about 2 times.
This patch enables the scanline algorithm when DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on,
except for characters. It brings the shfill case closer to the old algorithm.
This patch causes minor differences while filling a path,
especially with shfill, but such differences should be small
and almost unvisible.
Minor change :
The condition in gxfill.c line 2075 is changed to be closer to
the old algorithm when filling non-characters, because
dropout prewvention is not neccessary for this case.

Add the new Resource directory tree to the unix install target.
DETAILS:

Fix (pdfwrite) : Generate pseudo-random font names for subset fonts
from the glyph usage array.
Bug 686807 A "subset fonts" error in Adobe Acrobat from files made by GS8.00
DETAILS :
Since the revision 1.9 of gdevpdtb.c (Sun Sep 8 20:20:12 2002 UTC)
subset font names were deterministic to simplify the debugging.
The names were derived from resource IDs, and could cause a conflict
when merging documents. This patch generates different font names
hashing the glyph usage bitmask. Now the conflict can happen
with a very small probablility, when different subsets give same
hash value.

Switching to the new logics of resource file location.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because the default resource path is now different :
resource files are moved to gs/Resource .
See gs/doc/Use.htm#Finding_files and gs/doc/Use.htm#Resource_related_parameters.
DETAILS:
This patch does not include necessary changes to Ghostscript installer.
The main code change in one to gp.h .
Rudiments of old code in gs/src and gs/lib are marked with NEW_COMBINE_PATH.
They to be removed after beta-testing.
Change to makefiles provide extended default values for
file search paths, which are platform dependent.
For convenience, here we summarize all related issues,
which were mentioned in previous patches :
1. The search method with multiple resource directories
appears not fully conforming to PLRM. We cannot ever call
ResourceFileName while executing findresource
or resourcestatus, because per PLRM it always
returns a single path. Therefore we implement
an extended search method in findresource,
resourcestatus and resourceforall, which first calls
ResourceFileName and checks whether the returned path
points to an existing file. If yes, the file is used,
othervise we search all directories specified in
LIB_PATH. With a single resource directory
it appears equivalent to Adobe.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
2. ResourceFileName may be used for obtaining a path
where a resource file to be installed. In this case
Ghostscript to be invoked with -sGenericResourceDir=path,
specifying an absolute path. The default value for
GenericResourceDir is a relative path. Therefore
a default invocation with a Postscript installer
will install resources into gs/Resource.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
3. We do not distinguish lib and Resource directories.
There is no file name conflicts because
lib does not contain subdirectories, but Resource
always store files in subdirectories.
4. We implement a new flag in gs_context_state,
which informs lib_file_open whether it is invoked
with a file specified in a command line argument.
Doing so because command line argument files
don't need to check permissions, and they
are executed with a special PS operator .runfile .
We cannot use a .runfile argument for passing this
information, because it would be a security hole
due to .runfile is available for documents
and cannot be hidden.
5. We still have a security hole while loading
resources from gs_init.ps .
Both the old and the new code load some resources
(such as CIDInit ProcSet) before entering
the SAFER mode. Therefore it is a way for
Postscript viruses to migrate.
To be fixed later.
6. Default values for GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir
are platform dependent.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
7. Default value for GenericResourcePathSep is platform dependent.
The value is used before non-directory items only.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
(The old code used the value before directory items - a bug on OpenVMS).
8. If a path starts with a number of parent references,
a template with same number of parent references
must be added to permission list to allow the access in SAFER mode.
The template (*) allows access to any file.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because
the old code ever rejects parent directories.
9. GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir are not being added
to permission list while .locksafe. Instead that,
we generate (*/*) templates with all LIBPATH items.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but for non-exotic cases
(such as "(./Resource/CMap/H) .libfile" in a document)
it should not be visible.
A. Scratch files with a non-absolute prefix always open
in a scratch directory. The old code can open them
in current and parent directories if an user modified
a default prefix in C code.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for users who had modified
a scratch file prefix in C code.
Permission for scratch directory is not checked
as well as in old code.
B. The operator .filenamedirseparator is removed,
because it cannot work properly on OpenVMS.
On OpenVMS it needs both prefix and trailer to
determine a correct separator.
We removed it because the new logics never needs it.
C. The operator .pathstring_not_bare is removed,
because .file_name_combine performs it's job better.
D. The functions gp_pathstring_not_bare, gp_file_name_references_parent,
char *gp_file_name_concat_string are removed.
E. New operators added to maintain the new logics :
.file_name_combine true
.file_name_combine false
Combine a file name with a prefix.
The first argument is a prefix, the second is a file name.
Internal syntax of arguments and result is platform dependent.
The combination is being reduced to a shortest equivalent,
but if it starts with cwd reference, the starting
cwd reference persists.
If the argument is true, it considered to use the
"no sibling" mode. It prevents reduction of
(x/../y) to (y) for any x != y. With false such reduction
is allowed. The argument appears a rudinemt from
a dead branch. The new code always sets it to false.
On success, the result is a combined, reduced path and false.
On failure, the argument strings left on operand stack,
followed with false.
- .file_name_separator
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between directory item and file item.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourcePathSep.
- .file_name_directory_separator
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between two directory items.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir
and FontResourceDir.
- .file_name_current
Returns a readonly string, which represents a reference
to current working directory. Used for making the default
value of GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir.

Use fstat() function to determine whether the file is seekable.
This should work on all supported platforms and seems to be the only way
to get the file type using a MSVC CRTL function.
Bug #686773
DETAILS:
Windows API documentation seems to imply undefined results when seeking
of retrieving file position of a special file. MSDN documentation requires
programmers to check file type using GetFileType() function before seeking.
MSVC 6 CRTL doesn't check file type before calling the corresponding
Windows API functions. fstat() is the only function in MSVC 6 CRTL that
calls GetFileType(). S_ISREG() is a POSIX macro that check whether the
file is ordinary. It can be easily emulated if missing.

Update the release instructions to use cvs2cl and the new split_changelog.
Also include Changes and Details files for differences up to this point as
an example of the new format.
2003-04-09 22:58 Ralph Giles
Add news script to generate split abbreviated/detailed changelogs in the new
format. Accepts xml input from the cvs2cl perl script.
DETAILS:
After the 8.00 release we switched to a new format for Changes.htm and the
History files, based on the more traditional Changelog format instead of
grouping commits by section, which often resulted in duplicate posts. At
the same time we began a convention of including any notes too extensive
for such a listing below a 'DETAILS:' separator, with the idea that we'd
create two changelogs, with hyperlinks between so detailed information was
still available even in the new easier to browse format.
The method we've adopted uses the cvs2cl perl script, available from
http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/ to parse the output of 'cvs log' and
generate an xml file containing the merged entries. This script is
more robust than our own cvs2hist. The split_changelog.py script is
then run to convert the xml changelog to the two sizes of linked html
changelogs.
split_changelog isn't very bright about constructing links, so it should
be run from inside the doc directory for now.

DETAILS :
It always restricted overshoots with 1 pixel due to a stupid error in code.
This patch causes differences in almost tests with 300 dpi,
and with 3 tests at 72 dpi.

pdfwrite : Don't convert Type 3 fonts to raster fonts.
DETAILS :
The main work is done with pdf_install_charproc_accum and
pdf_end_charproc_accum. They forward a BuildChar/BuildGlyph output
to a separate graphic stream. See the big comment at the end of pdf_text_process.
The new function gx_default_text_restore_state restores graphic
state of PS interpreter when we discontinue the default text enumeration
after executing a PS charproc. New state variable gx_device_pdf::accum_char_proc
sets a special mode for graphic handlers.
We ever clip BuildChar/BuildGlyph with a FontBBox or with character bbox
specified in setcachedevice*. Doing so with calling gx_clip_to_rectangle
from pdf_text_set_cache, because we need to avoid the
current PS clipping path to interfere the character proc.
Possibly a better way is to install an infinite (i.e. absenting) clipping box,
wnen setcharwidth is used instead setcachedevice*.
but we don't know how to. Due to that the distilled 238-01.ps
renders some differently than undistilled one, and in most cases
it appears closer to what CPSI does.
An additional optimization : In sync_text_state the condition for matrix
sinchronization is done weaker : with empty text buffer the
synchronization is not needed.

Initial commit of native MacOS font loading. This implements a %macresource% iodevice for
retrieving data from the 'resource' structure associated with MacOS files, either directly from
the resource fork, or from a serialized data fork resource file. This is primarily used to access
font data on that platform. Resource fork access is only supported on MacOS, while data fork files
(e.g. .dfont format font files) can be read on any platform. This code is currently disabled.
DETAILS:
This change allows fonts stored in resources to be specified in the fontmap. A special indexing
scheme is added to the filename to address the particular resource desired by id and 4-character
type code, e.g. '%macresource%Arial#sfnt+4096' or
'%macresource%/Library/Fonts/Optima.dfont#sfnt+14151'.

Remove the non-HAVE_STDINT_H non-win32 attempts to define stdint types
and related sys/types redefine hacks. Also warn in the configure script
if stdint.h is not found.
DETAILS:
Compiling libjbig2dec requires the size-specific types in stdint.h, as
does compiling in the headers. Therefore these types must be made
available in ghostscript if jbig2.dev is included in FEATURE_DEVS.
The best way to integrate this is to create a stdint_.h for ghostscript
that contains discovered and/or platform-specific typedefs for the
types. This is still the plan, but to speed integration we just through
some defines into stdpre.h. If -DHAVE_CONFIG_H is passed by the makefile
(as configure does) then the C99 header is used, and we make specific
defines for MSVC which doesn't yet ship the header. We also had some
fallbacks for other systems (vendor unix mostly) but these caused
collisions with partial definitions of what became the C99 types in
sys/types.h and the redirection hack we do with ulong et al. did not
work on all platforms (notably macosx).
It is the fallback defines that have been removed; users building
on older platforms will probably have to patch the types in to use JBIG2
support.

Prevent UMRs and when an image3x type image only has one of the possible
two masks. Hangs or data garbling could result. Related to bug #686782.
DETAILS:
While several places in the image3x handling checked mask[i].depth to make
sure that it was non-zero, other places didn't have this check, but just
operated on the InterleaveType of the mask. While I could have added the
mask[i].depth check, setting mask[i].InterleaveType to zero when a mask
was not used was a single line change and served the purpose.
I found this when looking at performance on this PC_*.ai file and was
getting infinite loops. The plane_data was ending up pointing to the
wrong area when the uninitialized mask[i].InterleaveType just happened to
be 3 (interleave_separate_sources).

Improve previous patch to work from within encapsulated job framework.
DETAILS:
If gs is started with: gs -c false 0 startjob pop - < /dev/null
then the previous patch would result in:
Unrecoverable error: invalidaccess in quit
since the systemdict /quit is defined to cause this error from within an
encapsulated job. This patch detects the .jobsavelevel > 0 and uses 'stop'
instead, which quits gs without a spurious error message.

pdfwrite : The old code copied parameters of PS interpreter's graphic state
to the output PDF. However some of them are installation dependent and must not copy.
THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : the generated PDFs will render some differently
on printers.
DETAILS:
We provide a signal to pdfwrite at very end of gs_init.ps - see
the change to gs_pdfwr.ps, the priority=2000.
The signal is handled in gdev_pdf_fill_path,
and stores a copy of PS interpreter's graphic state parameter values.
Those valuess are used for comparizon with current parameters of PS interpreter
when an object is written. Therefore, if a value of a parameter was not
changed by a document, it is not written to PDF.
Note that if a PS document sets parameters equal to the
installation defaults, the setting in missed in PDF.
This is unfortunate.
The patch causes multiple differences in rendering distilled
comparefiles with pkmraw, because transfer functions changed from a
HP-specific (defined in gs_init.ps) to none. Those differences were
checked with the fuzzy compare utility and look fine. It should fix
the 2003-03-26 regressions, but new differences will appear.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Provide a complete monitoring of the viewer's graphic state
while generating a PDF output. The old code misses the synchronization
of the viewer's graphic state with its internal copy when generating
a 'grestore' command to undo a clipping.
Bug 686763 "pdfwrite is not correctly handling OPM distiller parameter".
DETAILS :
This change affects all vector devices, but it should be equivalent
for all them except pdfwrite, and except for the pointer lifetime bug
explained below.
Here is an example when the desynchronization appears :
f1 settransfer
0 setcolor
path1 fill
f2 settransfer
1 setcolor
path2 fill
gsave
path3 clip
path4 fill
grestore
path5 fill
After 'grestore' it uses f1 instead f2.
The old code does not remember the viewer's graphic state,
which was immediately before 'gsave', and resets the internal copy of
the graphic state to default values when it generates 'grestore'.
This logic is fully wrong : if after 'grestore' a parameter is equal
to the default value, pdfwrite does not generate a set command for this parameter,
but the viewer uses the value which was set before 'grestore',
which can differ from the default one.
Moreover, gdevvec copies the device color from local memory
to global memory, and doesn't ask garbager to process pointers in
the copy. When the device color contains pointers
to patterns or so, the live time of the copy appears bigger
than the live time of the pointed structure. The old code only
compares the pointed addresses without accessing the pointed data,
so that a crash can't happen. But if garbager moves another color
to same address, the comparison answers "equal" when actually colors
are not equal, and the generated PDF appears wrong.
To exclude the pointer lifetime problem, the patch uses the 'save_dc' method
instead the 'equal' method for colors. But the implementation
of save_dc was dummy for patterns. To complete it, gs_id is
inserted into gs_pattern_instance_s, and more variants added to
gx_device_color_saved_s. The clist device appears tolerant
to this change.
Note that macros color_unset, color_set_null, color_is_null,
gx_dc_is_null are now applied to gx_device_color_saved.
For complete monitoring the viewer's graphic state,
we implement a 2-elements stack 'vgstack' in gx_device_pdf_s,
save the viewer's graphic state in it when generating 'q' commands,
and restore from there when generating 'Q'. If a 'gs' parameter
needs to change, we move to 'PDF_IN_STREAM' context, because
we must not insert 'gs' into a text context. New functions
pdf_try_prepare_stroke and pdf_try_prepare_fill provide
the "try" logics for this.
If a 'gs' parameter changes with changing a clipping,
first we need to undo the old clipping with 'Q',
and then generate new 'gs' parameters relatively to the
restored graphic state. The new function pdf_unclip
works for this.
With this patch the length of generated PDF appears longer
for some tests. The most important ones are :
acrobat.pdf Lengths differ in 6141.
adesso8.pdf Lengths differ in -8316.
HeiseiMinStd.pdf Lengths differ in 4000.
narrow_font.pdf Lengths differ in 6141.
RealCities.pdf Lengths differ in 12370.
RodinCIDEmbed.pdf Lengths differ in 101698.
It happens because pdfwrite doesn't remember 'gs' dictionaries,
and therefore redundant copies can appear.
This problem to be fixed separately.
Expecting a progression : 093-01.ps (was a wrong stroke widths with a PaintType 2 font).
Expecting a regression : with this patch, re-distilled
Testform.v1.0.2.pdf paints good with Adobe, but wrongly with GS.
Maybe a bug in GS PDF interpreter.

Define some of the C99 stdint types in the common stdpre.h. This is
required for libjbig2 integration.
DETAILS:
Another option would have been to define a local 'stdint_.h', but
stdpre.h already contains a number of typedefs and includes sys/types.h
to provide expected basic types. We use stdint.h itself if the toplevel
makefile defines HAVE_STDINT_H.
Note that unfortunately sys/types.h often tries to provide types now in
stdint.h. We do the same collision-avoidance we do with our shorthand
types, but this could clobber correct definitions for the explicitly-
sized types on systems without stdint.h. (The only mainstream platform
not shipping stdint.h is MSVC, and we provide specific typedefs for that
platform.)
Some systems also provide a sys/inttypes.h with the same definitions. We
ignore this.

file_name_combine : Improve the choice of the default GenericResourceDir.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
The default value for GenericResourceDir can be configured
with -sGenericResourceDir=path . If not specified, it
chooses the first directory in LIBPATH, except (.),
and combines it with ../Resource .
The default value for FontResourceDir can be configured
with -sFontResourceDir=path . If not specified, it
chooses the first directory in LIBPATH, except (.),
and combines it with ../Resource/Font .
findresource was buggy : it returned a path with GenericResourceDir
when the real resource file is in another directory.
Now it first searches in LIBPATH, and if not found calls ResourceFileName .
We can't ever call ResourceFileName from findresource,
because it ever retrieves a single path. See the bug above.
Therefore with multiple resource directories it is conforming to PLRM
but differs from CPSI.

Fix (pdfwrite) : When advance width has non-zero y component, the width was set to zero.
Bug 686764 "Overlapping characters".
DETAILS :
The test document embeds a font, in which some characters
have a small non-zero y component of the advance width.
It looks as a buggy font. The pdfwrite writes zero to Widths array
(that's correct, because it is only useful with zero y component),
and did not generate glyph positioning commands (the bug).
This patch makes pdfwrite to be tolerant to such buggy fonts
with generating glyph position for subsequent glyph.
It does not repair the font.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Unwinding a part of the previous patch
and improve the OS/2 table writing ann embedded CIDFontType2.
Bugzilla Bug 686759 "pdf to pdf doesnt work".
DETAILS :
The previous patch appears wrong and caused a regression
due to the change to "have_cmap = no_generate && !writing_cid,"
in gdevpsft.c . This patch unwinds it. Also the log message
of the previous patch is fully wrong. The CID font in the test document
for 686759 does not contain cmap and the cmap must not
be written. But with the previous patch a corrupt cmap
was written. Accessing the wrong font copy pdfwrite
failed to compute glyph widths and therefore converted the font
into a bitmap font. This patch restores the code
to "have_cmap = no_generate,". The bug 686759 is reopened.
Also we detected that the OS/2 table was written
wrongly in some circumstances : its position in font
file did not correspond to one specified in the font
header. This patch fixes it.

The code for writing the BMP header made assumptions about struct
packing and was not portable. Replace the previous code with a method
that writes fields one at a time. Also, since fseek() is reported not to
work beyond the end of the written file, pad out the length of the image
data section so we can fill in the rows in proper bottom-to-top order.
Note that the bmp output code does not convert RGB to BGR; this is not
critical as the output is only used for hilighting differences.
Closes bug #686739.
2003-03-14 00:10 Ralph Giles
Replace the win32-specific code for seeking with a generic version.
Partial fix for bug #686739.
DETAILS:
The code was making an assumption about the internals of the opaque
fpos_t type. This is a 64 bit integer on win32, but a struct on
linux and macos, so the compile of course fails.
This commit temporarily breaks diff.bmp output on win32, which allegedly
cannot fseek() beyond the written end of the file so the row-reversal
logic will fail. This will be corrected in another revision.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Never write cmap embedding a CIDFontType2.
Bugzilla Bug 686759 "pdf to pdf doesnt work".
DETAILS :
PDF uses CIDToGIDMap for mapping CIDs to GIDs.
Therefore the cmap table of the True Type font is not used with CIDFontType2.
In PDF spec section 5.8 "Embedded Font Programs" reads :
If used
with a CIDFont dictionary,the "cmap " table is not needed,since the mapping
from character codes to glyph descriptions is provided separately.
Note the words "is not needed".
Meanwhile reading a PDF 1.2 format, Acrobat Reader 4 and 5 claim an
error if a cmap presents.

2. Throw invalidfileaccess from .libfile .
3. Always check permissions with reduced file names.
4. Ignore "./" prefixes in permission lists, except for (./*) .
This patch should not not change behavior with regular build.
DETAILS :
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1 contributes the improvement listed above.
Argument files are searched independently on SEARCH_HERE_FIRST.
If a file is in the search list, but the access isn't permitted,
.libfile throus invalidfileaccess, as with NEW_COMBINE_PATH 0.
Minor changes :
- some C-style cleanup in gpmisc.c ;
- don't compile i_ctx_p->filearg with NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1;
- don't compile i_ctx_p->starting_arg_file with NEW_COMBINE_PATH 0;
- a check for parents in check_file_permissions was buggy.

pngalpha device added also to the OpenVMS make file for MMK
(same change was already made for gmake in openvms.mak)
Modified Files:
gs/src/openvms.mmk
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Add pngalpha device that uses RGBA, with the alpha channel
providing pixel coverage. Used for generating PNG images with a
transparent background.
DETAILS
Add missing initialiser for get_clipping_box to
prn_color_params_procs macro. (src/gdevprn.h)
Avoid cast warning for software_key (src/gdevpng.c).
Add pngalpha device that uses RGBA. This requires custom
encode_color and decode_color procedures to put RGB in the
first three bytes while leaving the fourth A byte as opaque.
To avoid gx_no_color_value, the alpha is stored inverted so
opaque is 0x00 and transparent is 0xff.
If pngalpha is told to fill the entire page with white, it uses
the kludge of instead filling with almost white and transparent
(0xfefefeff). This works because it is triggered by "erasepage",
but not by "1 setgray clippath fill". A custom open_device and
put_params are needed to save the clist or memory device
fill_rectangle, and to restore the pngalpha_fill_rectangle.
A custom copy_alpha is required to correctly blend RGBA. The
blend is based on pixel coverage, not true transparency
Ghostscript doesn't pass transparency to the device. Alpha blend
maths from Porter and Duff 1984 paper for "A over B". RGB values
are stored without pre-multiplication. A custom
pngalpha_create_buf_device is used to replace the memory device
implementation gx_default_copy_alpha with pngalpha_copy_alpha,
but not to replace clist_copy_alpha.
The pngalpha device is successful at giving a transparent
background to many images such as colorcir.ps and golfer.eps,
but not tiger.eps which fills the clipping path with grey.
It does not implement a transparent background for PDF 1.4
transparent input files.

Fix : setweightvector did not set the copy of WeightVector in gs_type1_data_s.
Bug #686753 "Wrong Display of Multiple Master Fonts".
DETAILS:
The test document creates a Type 3 font, in which BuildChar
procedure defines a copy of MM font and later replaces
WeightVector in it.
A new PS operator introduced to handle it.
Adobe implementations do so.
We are not happy with the change of VM with no regard to 'restore'.
It appears compatible with the test document,
because it calls setweightvector before rendering each glyph.
(Another interesting point is that the test document executes
"0 setcachelimit" before rendering a glyph).
But it is not compatible to CPSI (a special test done).
Providing a correct restore appears too complicated -
need to change the data representation to 'ref'.
Delaying it until it is really needed.
Alternatively we could obtain a fresh copy of WeightVector
in each call to *show, but it would be a significant performance flaw.
The patch fixes the problem explained in the bug report #686753,
but the supplied document has another problem :
with pdfwrite some characters are converted to raster.
To be fixed separately.

file_name_combine : (1) Implement the extended search method in resourceforall,
resourcestatus, ResourceFileName. (2) Don't check permissions for command line argument files.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
To skip the permission check with argument files we added a flag into
gs_context_state. This is only a secure way to pass the information
across PS interpreter, which executes .runfile with any argument file.
Per Adobe specification, a resource category can define the ResourceFileName procedure,
which generates a resource file name from resource instance name.
Since Ghostscript uses an extended search method for finding resource files,
the strong Adobe's semantics appears inapplicable.
Ghostscript implements an extended semantics.
Finding a resource file while executing findresource or resourcestatus,
Ghostscript does not call ResourceFileName. Instead that, it searches directories
with an extended method explained in How Ghostscript finds files.
ResourceFileName may be called from a Postscript program such as a resource installer.
The default implementation for ResourceFileName first checks whether
GenericResourceDir specifies an absolute path. If so, ResourceFileName uses its value
to generate the result. Otherwise, it tries to find an existing resource file with
the extended method. If it succeeds, ResourceFileName returns the path
to the resource file found. Otherwise it uses GenericResourceDir to combine a default path.
Note that with a single resource directory and an absolute ResourceFileName the behavior
appears equivalent to Adobe's one.
The new search method doesn't distinguish 'lib' and 'Resource' directories.
Minor changes :
The operator .file_name_parent is removed.
The operator .file_name_current is removed.
Improved some error messages.

Fix for #686755 sgirgb device. The sgirgb device would produce compiler
errors if included in version 8.00 or later.
DETAILS:
The sgirgb device had not been modified to match the changes made in the
device API with version 8.00. These were fixed. In addition a couple of
compiler warnings were removed. AN unsed variable (sptr) was also
removed.
Note: I am unable to test this fix since I do not have an sgi system.
The inclusion of the sgirgb device also creates link errors in a WinXP
build due to undefined/missing bzero. Since this was not changed, I
am assuming that this is not a problem on an sgi system.

file_name_combine : Removing a rudiment of old code.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
The operator .file_name_parents is now removed.

file_name_combine : Implementing new command line arguments:
-sGenericResourceDir= and -sFontResourceDir= .
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1 the new arguments replace
default values for GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir .
A consistency check is added to gs_res.ps .
It signals an error if the value of GenericResourceDir
is inconsistent with LIBPATH. An automatic insertion of it
into LIBPATH appears cumbersome because the access to LIBPATH in C code
goes through gs_main_instance_s.
The operator .file_name_combine changed the prototype.
A boolean result is added instead a failure on error.
This simplifies error processing in PS code, especially
because the 'stopped' changes the memory allocation mode.
Relevant changes done to calls of .file_name_combine in gs/lib .
A minor bug is fixed in gp_file_name_combine_generic.

file_name_combine : Adding the 'no_neighbour' argument.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
It slightly change behavior when built with NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1.
The 'no_neighbour' is a boolean, which protects steps from
a directory to its neighbor directory in file_name_combine.
With true argument the combination
(x/y) + (../z/t) fails
but
(x/y) + (../y/t) succeeds.
With false argument both combinations succeed.
The argument is added to both C function and PS operator.
We apply false argument while executing .libfile
and while generating PermitFileReading.
True argument is used in FAPI support to locate
FAPI-handled font files (which generally are not PS files,
and they are not being read with PS operators).
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1, THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
To access resources, run Ghostscript with specifying
a resource directory in the -I command line argument.

Initial commit for the new SAFER logics.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior unless
NEW_COMBINE_PATH is changed to 1. With 0 a minor meanful
change is the replacing .pathstring_not_bare with .file_name_combine
in gs_fapi.ps (which fixes a bug in FAPI support,
and doesn't affect builds with no FAPI).
The change is compatible unless NEW_COMBINE_PATH is 1.
Incompatibility issues with 1 are explained below.
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1 the patch defines a new logic for
.libfile, SAFER, and related things :
1. Default values for GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir
are platform dependent.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
2. Default value for GenericResourcePathSep is platform dependent.
The value is used before non-directory items only.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
(The old code used the value before directory items - a bug on OpenVMS).
3. PLRM specifies GenericResourceDir to be a single absolute path name.
But Ghostscript's tradition is to load library files
form a list of directories. Since we want to propagate
this tradition to resource files, we get a conflict.
To resolve the conflict, we allow GenericResourceDir
to be a relative path, which is being concatenated with
LIBPATH items. Thus we provide an extension of Postscript.
4. When a LIBPATH item is being concatenated with GenericResourceDir,
an abnormal behavior appears when GenericResourceDir references parent.
Exactly, concatenating the (.) item of LIBPATH with
the default GenericResourceDir, which is (../Resource/),
we get (../Resource/), i.e. it searches in a directory,
which users don't expect to. We work around the abnormal
behavior with skipping such paths while executing .libfile .
More precisely, the .libpath algorithm is :
For each LIBPATH item :
- combine it with the argument string;
- if the (reduced) combination refers the parent, skip it;
- otherwise try to open the path. If succeeded, exit with it.
If no success, fail with undefinedfilename or invalidfileaccess.
Here and below we used Unix notation just for simplifying
the log message. All statements to be generalized for any platform,
and they are true for any supported platform.
5. A consequence of our workaround for (4) is a new constraint to .libfile :
Let x is a cwd.
Let x/../y exists. Lets mark it as y1.
Let LIBPATH contains cwd and a directory z, which is not cwd.
Let z/../y exists. Lets mark it as y2.
Consequently y1 != y2.
Executing
(../y/f) .libpath
searches y2/f, but does not search y1/f .
The old code searched both in non-safer mode.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
6. A better workaround for (4) would be an implementation
of RESPATH, which by default generates from LIBPATH
with replacing (../Resource/) with (./Resource/).
This requires to maintain a new directory lists.
.libfile should get an additional argument,
which specifies a search list - LIBPATH, RESPATH or FONTPATH.
We do not make this improvement now,
but will add it to Issues.htm .
7. If a path starts with a number of parent references,
a template with same number of parent references
must be added to permission list to allow the access.
The template (*) allows access to any file.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because
the old code ever rejects parents.
8. GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir are not being added
to permission list while .locksafe. Instead that,
we combine them with all LIBPATH items,
and add the combinations to the permission list
unless it references parent.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but for non-exotic cases
(such as "(../Resource/CMap/H) .libfile" in a document)
it should be equivalent to the old behavior.
9. Scratch files with a non-absolute prefix always open
in a scratch directory. The old code can open them
in current and parent directories if an user modified
a default prefix in C code.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for users who had modified
a scratch file prefix in C code.
Permission for scratch directory is not checked
as well as in old code.
A. The operator .filenamedirseparator is removed,
because it cannot work properly on OpenVMS.
On OpenVMS it needs both prefix and trailer to
determine a correct separator.
We removed it because the new logics never needs it.
B. The operator .pathstring_not_bare is removed,
because .file_name_combine performs it's job better.
C. The functions gp_pathstring_not_bare, gp_file_name_references_parent,
char *gp_file_name_concat_string are not longer in use.
D. New operators added to maintain the new logics :
.file_name_combine
Combine a file name with a prefix.
The first argument is a prefix, the second is a file name.
Internal syntax of arguments and result is platform dependent.
The combination is being reduced to a shortest equivalent,
but if it starts with cwd reference, the starting
cwd reference persists.
- .file_name_separator
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between directory item and file item.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourcePathSep.
- .file_name_directory_separator
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between two directory items.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir.
- .file_name_parent
Returns a readonly string, which represents a parent reference.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir
and GenericResourceDir.
.file_name_parents
Returns an integer equal to the length of maximal
anchor substring, which includes parent references and separators only.
Used in generating the permission list from LIBPATH and
[GenericResourceDir FontResourceDir] as a workaround
for (6).
We believe that all them are necessary, except the last one,
which is temporary used in (8) as a workaround for (6).

gp_file_name_combine : Adding more helpers for OpenVMS support.
DETAILS:
The previous patch unintentionally set NEW_COMBINE_PATH=1.
This one repairs it.
OpenVMS uses different separators for directory and file
items - '.' and ']'. More helpers added to resolve this.
gp_file_name_conbine_generic now checks which one is needed
for concatenating paths.
2003-03-02 13:48 Igor Melichev
gp_file_name_combine : Implementing some useful functions.
DETAILS:
This patch doesn't change any behavior.
The new functions will be used with NEW_COMBINE_PATH=1.
Probably we don't need gp_file_name_reduce, but it's implementation
is pretty nice and isn't obvious.
gp_file_name_is_absolute will replace gp_pathstring_not_bare.
NEW_COMBINE_PATH=1 wan't need a special check for cwd.
gp_file_name_is_from_parent will replace gp_file_name_references_parent.
The new function only check partent at the beginning of the path,
and should be used with reduced paths only.
We could code an in-place reduction with :
gp_file_name_combine_result
gp_file_name_reduce_inplace(char *buffer, uint *blen)
{
return gp_file_name_reduce(buffer, *blen, buffer, blen);
}
but we believe that
1. Aliasing const with non-const isn't a valid C.
Rather GS contains multiple const hacks, we don't want to add another one.
2. The input buffer must have space for the trailing zero,
which is not accounted in *blen.
The patch also includes a minor cleanup of comments and gp_file_name_combine_generic.

2003-03-01 13:59 Igor Melichev
Implementing gp_file_name_combine.
DETAILS :
This patch introduces a new code, which is currently
disabled with "#define NEW_COMBINE_PATH 0" in gp.h .
The new function gp_file_name_combine concatenates
two paths and then reduce the concatenation with excluding
parent references when possible. It is platform dependent,
but we could factor out a big common part - see gp_file_name_combine_generic.
Platforms define 8 small helpers for it.
The gp_file_name_combine and its helpers were debugged on Windows
with emulating other platforms. A help wanted to
test them on real platforms. For testing them
replace 0 with 1 in the definition of NEW_COMBINE_PATH
in gp.h and rebuild.
We do not protect definitions of new functions with
NEW_COMBINE_PATH switch, because we want them to be syntax-checked.
Some old functions, such as gp_pathstring_not_bare,
gp_file_name_concat_string will be reconsidered later,
because the helpers perform similar work in a generalized way.
Probably some of old ones to be removed. Our strong intention is
to remove gp_pathstring_not_bare, because it's behavior looks
strange from the user's end.
2003-03-01 12:54 Igor Melichev
Reorganizing lib_open, lib_file_open, lib_file_fopen, file_open_stream functions
to allow to check permissions with a combined file name.
DETAILS :
This should be an equivalent change.
It is a preparation for implementing static resources.
This patch moves the directory enumeration cycle from lib_file_fopen
to lib_file_open. After that we have a place in lib_file_open
in which both combined path and permissions are accessible
(more precisely, this place is in lib_fopen_with_libpath).
The checking permissions in there will be next improvement.
This patch defines a stub for gp_file_name_combine function.
Temporary it is placed into zfile.c .
Later it will be moved to platform dependent modules.

Moving clear to before the restore removed the startjob parameters from
the opstack.
DETAILS:
This was an attempt to remove a potential problem with invalidrestore
caused by stuff on the opstack or dictstack if startjob was executed with
elements on these stacks. Since the problem has always been there and
since no one has tripped over it, we will investigate a correct fix
to preventing invalidrestore when the need arises. In the meantime,
at least startjob will work.

Support for JBIG2 streams with a JBIG2Globals shared data reference.
DETAILS:
The JBIG2Decode filter can take an optional /JBIG2Globals parameter,
always an indirect object reference to another stream. This commit adds
a new .jbig2makeglobalctx operator that takes a bytestring contanting
the global stream data, runs it through the decoder library and wraps
the resulting context pointer in an astruct which is returned as a
special -jbig2globalctx- object on the postscript stack.
A new procedure called from inside applyfilters in the pdf decoder takes
care of spooling the global data into the bytestring and installing the
astruct under the .jbig2globalctx key in the parameter dictionary. The
filter implementation looks for this and passes it to the page decoder
instance if it's available. The original JBIG2Globals key is ignored by
the actual decode filter implementation.

Fix (pdfwrite) : -dSubsetFonts=false did not work with incremental fonts.
DETAILS :
pdfwrite created a "complete" copy of a font at the first appearance of the font.
With incremental fonts it missed incremental glyphs with -dSubsetFonts=false.
The patch checks whether a glyph is added incrementally and
replaces the "complete" font copy with a font subset.
Bug #686735 "-dSubsetFonts=false produces a bad PDF".
The core of the patch is the change to gdevpdte.c .
Other changes just pass a necessary data through internal interfaces.
This patch should not change behavior with -dSubsetFonts=false,
which is used by default for the regression testing.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Removing pdf_font_resource_s::copied_font.

Fixing the device finalization problem.
DETAILS :
pdfwrite (and possibly other devices) perform a huge work within close_device.
Since close_device is called via finalization method from memory
manager, some device structures could be released before calling
device_close, so that the huge work could not safely complete.
Also it could return error codes, which were entirely lost.
This patch calls gs_closedevice implicitly when a device
is about to uninstall. We catch 2 such events : when the interpreter
is about to exit, and when the interpreter executes setdevice.
This should be enough for "external" devices, such as printer drivers.
Internal devices do not receive these calls.
Note that a call to gx_device_fill_in_procs is added after assign_dev_procs
from gx_default_create_buf_device. Not sure why it was not done before.
After assign_dev_procs, ppmraw had ununitialized procs.
Also note that is_open flag is now unconditionally resets in gs_closedevice.
The new code needs to reset it to prevent redundant call to close_device from
device finalization method. The redundant call causes
a crash if pdfwrite has insufficient disk space to store the
output file (debugged with dina3_watermark.pdf) .
Bug 601255 "segv while device finalization".

Return error immediately when glyph ID is not found in GlyphDirectory.
Avoid access to partly constructed GlyphData and obscure failures there.

DETAILS:
This change has no effect on rendering. Old code was
failing during access to GlyphData, which caused default glyph
substitution. New code returns the error earlier and causes
the same default glyph substitution.

This is initial commit for implementing static resources.
DETAILS :
1. Adding a new iodevice %static% with the new file ziodevst.c .
It is used for opening files placed in static data segment.
They need to be accessed as PS files due to multiple reasons,
including the implementation of gs_ciddc.ps and for PS procedure
ResourceFileName defined in PLRM.
2. Implementing a queue for delayed invocation
of initialization functions at end of gs_init.
This feature is necessary due to customized
builds of Ghostscript : some 'dev' depend each
on other and some functions are needed to execute
after all devs are preset. Currently it is only used
for obtaining the Unicode Decoding resource,
but later it will be used for perfectly consistent
processing of font and CID font map files,
both with FAPI and without it.
3. gs_resmp.ps slightly changed for handling
resource maps which are not defined as files.
4. The new file gs_resst.ps implements a procset
for handling static resource files. Both gs_resst.ps and
gs_ciddc.ps use the %static% iodevice.
5. The new file gs_resst.ps creates a map of resource files
placed in static segment. Later it would be nice
to generate it during GS installation. With the defined
resource set gs_init.obj grows up to 1.5Meg,
but both MSVC and gcc/Cygwin could handle it.
Currently all resources in gs_stres.ps are COMMENTED OUT
to prevent problems building Ghostscript with COMILE_INITS=1
on Mac and VMS. To uncomment them, replace '%-' with empty string.
This patch was locally tested with entire comparefiles
with COMPILE_INITS=0. It should not cause regressions.
Also it was slightly tested with COMPILE_INITS=1 :
the static resources work fine.
The patch assumes that during a GS build resource files
are placed in gs/Resource/ . It uses 1 Decoding and
a dozen of CMaps, which are necessary for the CID font emulation
and for FAPI to work. You need to uncomment them
in gs_stres.ps .
When GS is invoked, resources are being loaded from both
the static segment and from the OLD(!!!!!) default path.
In other words, the resource machinery works fine,
but the default resource path is not fixed yet.
I intend to fix it in the next day or two.
The patch depends on
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2003-February/002950.html
The patch does not include CMaps and Decodings resources.
They to be added separately.
Enhancing the functionality of geninit.c .
DETAILS :
1. Implemented "long" relative paths. See translate_path.
Not sure what to do with separators on Mac.
See the __MACOS__ section.
This change was not debugged on Mac.
In case of problems please patch it.
2. Moved some error messages to prefix_open,
to allow translated paths to be displayed.
3. Implemented an intact including of files.
This is useful for including Adobe resources.
Don't want legal problems with them.
The syntax of 'Replace' statement is enhanced.

Fix : Improving the CIDFontType 2 font copying.
DETAILS :
I believe that the code about copying CIDFontType 2 glyphs
is overcomplicated with mixing CIDs and GIDs, and needs to be
cleaned up. The old code had an obvious inconsistency :
it allocated a smaller array for glyph indices than written,
causing a heap damage. This patch simply makes the code to be
self-consistent. I can't say that I completely
understand whether CIDs/GIDs passed correctly or not.
Now it is working, but the correctness was not proved,
and Acrobat Reader doesn't show the glyph with /CIDTTEMUL
(see below).
The problem was detected with COMPILE_INITS=1 with emulating
a CID wont with mshei.ttf . The following program had crashed
with pdfwrite :
/glyph 2300 def
/ShinGo-Bold /CIDFont findresource
100 scalefont setfont
100 200 moveto glyph glyphshow
/CIDTTEMUL /CIDFont findresource
100 scalefont setfont
100 100 moveto glyph glyphshow
showpage
with the cidfmap file like this :
/ShinGo-Bold << /FileType /TrueType /Path (f:/WIN2000/Fonts/batang.ttf) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/CIDTTEMUL << /FileType /TrueType /Path (f:/WIN2000/Fonts/mshei.ttf) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
The effect is indeterministic.
When I build GS with regenerate gs_init.c,
it crashed if run in same session of Developer Studio.
But if I close-open the Developer Studio and run GS,
it doesn't crash.
The patch should enlarge the array, which was written outside
the index range. The problem looks gone.
Meanwhile the CID/GID logics in gxcopy.c to be revised someday.

Fix : Improving the seekability of the init string file.
DETAILS :

Partial fix for 684340. Remove the macro gx_color_device_must_halftone
and its one (incorrect use).
DETAILS:
The macro gx_color_device_was meant for situations in which the device
was known to be a color device and it was needed to know if halftoning
was required. With the 8.00 changes in the graphics library, the
one situation that it was being used is incorrect. The macro was also
wrong since it was checking dev->color_info.max_gray. It should have
been checking color_info.max_color. The macro was removed. Please
use gx_device_must_halftone in its place.

pdfwrite : Disable 32 /FontType resource while processing a document
created with PScript5.dll .
DETAILS:
This patch completes the previous one. See details in there.
Also see comment in .pdf_hook_DSC_Creator defined by this patch.
This patch may be insufficiently safe for the case when
several documents are being united while a distillation.
We would like to restore the redefinition of 'resourcestatus'
after a document completes, but we don't know how to do
(exactly, where to call the restoring action from ?).
In general, what happens with
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -OutputFile=1.pdf document1.ps document2.ps -c quit
?

pdfwrite : Account GlyphNames2Unicode while creating ToUnicode CMaps for simple fonts.
DETAILS:
This patch improves the previous one.
It generalizes the GlyphNames2Unicode processing for any simple font.
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented facility, which Adobe Postscript
printer driver PScript5.dll Version 5.2 uses to communicate with
Adobe Distiller. Adobe applies it to Type 3 and Type 42 fonts.
Adobe uses Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode only for compatibility
with interpreters, which cannot handle Type 32. With other
interpreters (including Ghostscript) the generated PS program
skips GlyphNames2Unicode data. Therefore the feature
is now implemented for Type 3 but it is not involved while
processing such documents. Need to patch "32 /FontType findresource"
to involve it. Probably with pdfwrite the DSC parser should recognize
the creator and exclude 32 from /FontType resource category.
This patch unwinds the enhanced functionality of gs_font_procs::glyph_info
with GLYPH_INFO_UTC16, which was done with the previous patch,
and introduces a new virtual function gs_font_procs::decode_glyph.
Doing so because GLYPH_INFO_UTC16 causes multiple redundant code
for various font types due to dependence on interpreter structures.
SF bug #684120 tracks additional issues.
2003-02-12 02:16 Ralph Giles
Initial implementation of the /JBIG2Decode filter. This adds a '$(PSD)jbig2.dev'
FEATURE_DEV which links in the libjbig2dec decoder library. This version does
not support the optional /JBIG2GLOBALS parameter for sharing information between
page images. However, it is still useful as this parameter has been empty in
the files we've seen. The feature in enabled for the autoconf build if the
decoder library is found on the system, and remains optional with the other builds.
2003-02-11 22:21 Igor Melichev
pdfwrite : Account GlyphNames2Unicode while creating ToUnicode CMaps
for Type 42 fonts.
DETAILS:
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented facility, which Adobe Postscript
printer driver PScript5.dll Version 5.2 uses to communicate with
Adobe Distiller. Adobe applies it to Type 3 and Type 42 fonts.
Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode is used only for compatibility
with interpreters, which cannot handle Type 32.
Since Ghostscript is not such, there is no need to implement
Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode. We don't do that.
This patch enhances the functionality of gs_font_procs::glyph_info
with retrieving Unicode UTC-16 code for a glyph. This enhancement
is implemented for practically useful cases only, which are
restricted with Type 42.
The gs_font_dir::glyph_to_unicode
callback is now removed because it is not longer useful.
SF bug #684120 tracks additional issues.
Working on this patch, I tried put the Unicode Decoding table
as a default value to FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode and remove the unicode_decoder.
But it appears not working, because test.ps for SF bug #529103 needs to
collect substitutions from both FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode and Unicode Decoding.
I removed the "WARNING: /Unicode /Decoding resource in not accessible",
because the flag for preventing its repetitions is not accessible from
gs_font_procs::glyph_info. A similar warning in lib/gs_pdfwr.ps still works.
2003-02-10 22:43 Dan Coby
The display device (src/gdevdsp.c) was displaying pure magenta as
white when using the DISPLAY_UNUSED_LAST mode.
DETAILS:
The cause of the problem was a sign bit extention in a 32 to 64
bit conversion (long to gx_color_index). The fix was to add casts
to force the conversion to gx_color_index (which is unsigned) earlier
in the assigment.

Document that pdfwrite and pswrite do not support the '%d' file-per-page
convention for -sOutputFile. Partial fix for Sourceforge bug 645677.

Ghostscript actually segfaults when an output file name containing %d
is passed to pdfwrite or pswrite. This remains to be resolved.

Fix: Some compiler warnings.
2003-02-10 16:31 Igor Melichev
Improving gs_font_procs interface functions glyph_info and glyph_outline.
DETAILS:
The old interface definition provided insufficient data for pdfwrite.
Several hacks was used in pdfwrite to recover the luck of data.
This patch slightly enhances the interface and removes the hacks.
See new comments in gxfont.h about the enhancement.
The interface could be more complete - see comments in gxfont.h .
Now we do not apply efforts for refinishing it, because
there is no practical need and we have no tests for it.
This patch improves glyph positions with pdfwrite for fonts with
vertical CMaps. comparefiles do not test this case.
Minor change : fixed compiler warnings in gdevpdtd.c .

pdfwrite : Generating ToUnicode CMaps for simple fonts.
For fonts with random encoding it allows to Copy-Paste text
from viewers and to search a text.
DETAILS:
This code requires /Unicode /Decoding resource.
If the resource is absent, PDF will be written without ToUnicode CMap,
a warning is written to stdout explaining that the resource may be useful,
and another warning may be written to stderr if the resource is actually
useful for the document.
To access the resource I introduced a special operator .setupUnicodeDecoder .
It is called from gs_pdfwr.ps and stores the resource to gs_font_dir,
together with a callback which performs the decoding.
This is only a way to pass the resource through the graphics library.
It is definitely not a device parameter, and converting it to
C structures would be hard.
I don't like the big stuff added into zfont.c, but I haven't got
a better idea where to put it.
Minor change : fixed Cygwin/gcc compiler warnings.

DETAILS :
The patch

is incorrect and caused multiple regressions.
Replacing it with a better patch.
Releasing pdf_font_cache_elem while device finalization,
the structure lefts in heap due to memory manager is disabled,
but it's pointers become invalid if they point to a huge area,
which was allocated in a separate chunk with another allocator.

Fixing problems with AlignToPixels.
DETAILS :
1. Keys for character cache were incorrect, causing an excessive
memory consumption (see the change to gxchar.c).
2. Subpixel grid and AlignToPixels were not passed to FAPI.
ifapi.h changed the prototype of get_scaled_font.
Therefore most changes are just a data re-srtucturization.

CID font emulation : Comply with FAPI.

CID font emulation : Resolving relative paths.
DETAILS :
The implementation of the CID font emulator is now complete.
Perhaps an optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.

2003-02-01 18:56 Igor Melichev
The CID to TT mapping : Providing a single map file
for both the CID font to CID font substitution and
True Type font to CID font substitution.
DETAILS:
Minor changes :
- Allowed a mapped category redefinition with no map file.
The map file may be delayed until a later redefinition.
- Changed the order of CIDFont category redefinitions in int.mak .
- Removed the usage of gs/lib/cidttmap.
- Improved a comment in gs/lib/cidfmap about its format.
- Provided an automatic choice of SubstNWP.
- Added an idle entry into the SubstNWP collection.
- Added a comment in zfapi.c . It's a problem.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is almost complete except 2 features :
1. Relative paths are not allowed in the gs/lib/cidfmap file.
2. An optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.
See comment in there.

The CID to TT mapping : Building CIDMap with SubstNWP.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
With this patch narrow, wide and proportional Romans
may substitute each another while emulating a CJK CID font
with True Type font. Usually True Types contain insufficient
glyph to render all them. The substitution prevents missed glyphs.
This patch introduces a new special operator .fillCIDMap .
It composes a CID map from a Decoding, a True Type cmap,
and SubstNWP. PS code would be too big and slow for this purpose.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is almost complete except 2 features :
1. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
2. An optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.
See comment in there.
Minor changes :
- Fixed a bug in gs_cidfn.ps which tried to store a local
FontMatrix to a global font dictionary.
- A portion of code is factored out from zfapi.c to share with .fillCIDMap

CID font emulation : Choosing a cmap with gs/lib/xlatmap.
DETAILS:
This patch only changes a code which work for
FAPI or for CID font emulation. Regular GS invocation
should not change a behavior.
This is a next step of the CID font emulation.
Now it can handle all Windows JCK charsets, including Unicode-16.
In other words, a CJK font with any Windows charset can be used for emulation.
To handle other CJK charsets one should create an appropriate
CIDDecoding resource and add it into gs/lib/xlatmap.
Minor changes :
- Speeded up the TT file parser using the 'setfileposition'.
- Improved some diagnostic messages.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is still incomplete :
1. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
2. SubstNWP is being ignored.
3. An optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.
See comment in there.

2003-01-31 12:48 Ralph Giles
Use the ANSI-standard FILENAME_MAX from stdio.h instead of MAXPATHLEN from
sys/param.h for unix path buffers. Fixes SF bug 675847.
DETAILS:
We should actually be using gp_file_name_sizeof here, but it's currently
a static define to a lowest common denominator, and we prefer a more
unix-friendly default. This can of course be changed if the _sizeof is
properly configured per platform.
2003-01-31 09:36 Igor Melichev
The CID to TT mapping :
1. Providing an access to glyphs on demand.
2. Handle TTC font format.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
With this patch glyf and loca tables are being skipped while loading
a True Type into RAM. An access by demand is provided instead
(This works for CIDFontType 2; it is not used for Type 42).
Map file may contain records with SubfontID, which
specifies a font number in a TTC collection.
TTC format is implemented for disk files only,
because embedded fonts never use it.
To provide the on-demand access, the patch introduces a special
extension of the Postscript language.
A CIDFontType 2 dictionary may contain /File with a file value.
It should be a positionable file of the TTF or TTC format.
When it presents, the dictionary must contain /file_table_pos,
which's value is a dictionary of 2-element arrays, which specify
position and length of a TT table in the file. 2 arrays
must present with keys /loca and /glyph.
We would like to optimize this implementation.
See comment in gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.
2003-01-31 09:05 Dan Coby
Fix for 673108. The test file has a stream which contains an invalid
stream length. However Acrobat handles the file.
Details:
The invalid stream length was bad enough that we were positioning beyond
the end of the file when we searched for the endstream. A check was
added for this case and if so then we ignore repositioning the file
before searching for the endstream. Note: There is already logic in
the code which emits a warning message if the endstream is not found.
A second part of this fix was to clean up the stack if the endstream
is not found.
2003-01-30 10:44 Igor Melichev
CID font emulation : Adding a code for CIDMap generation,
and moving the xlatmap scanner to gs_fntem.ps .
DETAILS:
This patch only changes a code which work for
FAPI or for CID font emulation. Regular GS invocation
should not change a behavior.
This is a next step of the CID font emulation.
Now it correctly maps most CIDs to Unicode fonts.
Secondary changes :
- I made xlatmap accessible from gs_ttf.c .
It should be used choosing a cmap.
- improving some comments and function names.
- Removed a redundant definition of a CIDFont,
which was unintentionally introduced with the previous patch.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is still incomplete :
1. Entire True Type fonts are loaded into VM.
2. SubfontID is being ignored.
3. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
4. Access to glyphs by demand is not done.
5. SubstNWP is being ignored.
6. The choice the Unicode cmap is hardcoded.
Should use xlatmap instead.
The previous log message recommends to use PMINGLIU.TTF.
Actually it requires a True Type bytecode interpreter,
which GS doesn't provide. The font mshei.ttf does not.
2003-01-29 20:24 Ray Johnston
Fix for incorrect colors with pswrite device when painting rectangles.
SF bug 677009.
DETAILS:
The call to gdev_vector_update_clip_path followed the update_fill call
which set the color, but the clip path performed a 'Q q' (grestore gsave)
which reverted to whatever color was part of the previous saved gstate.
Changing the order of the calls fixes the problem.
2003-01-29 11:00 Igor Melichev
Enhancing the resource machinery with mapping CID fonts to True Types.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
Adding 2 new files gs_fntem.ps and gs_cidtt.ps and reorganizing
old files gs_cidfn.ps, gs_fapi.ps, gs_resmp.ps with them.
This moves a part of FAPI support to a more general level.
The moved stuff is shared with the FAPI and the new CID font mapper.
After this change Ghostscript can load Unicode True Type fonts
as a substitution to a CIDFontType 2 and render it.
At least the Windows font PMINGLIU.TTF succeeds.
But the implementation is very incomplete :
1. The CID to GID mapping is fully wrong.
2. Entire True Type fonts are loaded into VM.
3. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
All these 3 solutions are temporary and to be improved later.
To involve the new feature, create a new file gs/lib/cidttmap,
and put records to there of the following format :
/ShinGo-Bold << /FileType /TrueType /Path (F:/WIN2000/Fonts/PMINGLIU.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] /SubstNWP /Japan1 >> ;
It is similar to gs/lib/FAPIcidfmap, see Use.htm about the latter.
This patch does not include a change to documentation,
because it is too early to announce it to users.

Patch from Graham Asher.
DETAILS :
Without FAPI plugins this patch doesn't change any behaviour.
Minor improvements by igorm :
- fixed a spelling;
- FAPI_METRICS_ADD was buggy - a fixed overflow (thanks to Graham).
- removed unuseful dependencies from makefile.
2003-01-29 08:53 Igor Melichev
Fix : Eliminate .forceput from gs_resmp.ps .
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior.
A mapped category used an array to store a set of procedures.
Sometimes the set grows, and the old implementation
used .forceput to replace the array with a bigger one
in the category dictionary, which is read-only.
The new code represents the set as a dictionary,
so that .forceput is not longer needed.

pdfwrite : Implementing DW2 and W2.
DETAILS :

Fix regression of 119-01.ps caused by previous patch while retaining the
fix for #667658 when CR and/or LF comes between the '~' and the '>'.
DETAILS:
The logic was also fixed so that if the end of buffer is reached while
searching for the '>' character (past CR and/or LF) no error would be
issued unless we have the 'last' condition indicating that no more data
is available.
Thanks to Igor M. for spotting the above potential problem during code
review.

Fix : Removing an unused variable from set_cache_device.
2003-01-26 08:24 Igor Melichev
Implementing a new user parameter AlignToPixels and
a new command line argument AlignToPixels.
They allow to choose the alignment of glyphs to
integral pixels or to subpixels while a text rendering.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior except
-dAlignToPixels=0 is specified.
A change to documentation about the new parameter is included.
With NEW_TYPE1_HINTER = 1 the value 0 of AlignToPixels implies :
1. Caching a glyph raster, fractional glyph origins
give different images, which are stored
in individual slots. The space consumption in the
character cache increases. This happens for all font types.
2. While hinting a Type 1 or 2 font, glyph origins and widths
are rounded to subpixels rather than to pixels, and the grid fitting
is done to the subpixel grid.
CIDFontType 0 descendents had NULL pointer to gs_font_dir.
The new code needs to access the font directory,
so the pointer is now set.
The new code needs glyph origin and log2_scale to lookup
a glyph in cache. Therefore show_proceed and
set_cache_device were reorganized with a new function
compute_glyph_raster_params. The new algorithm uses a
slightly different (and more complicated) logics
for computation and initialization of penum->origin.
It was well tested, but in case of problems please
consider it as a weak point.

New Type 1 hinter : (1) It did not work with pdfwrite because
gx_path_init_bbox_accumulator doesn't provide a memory.
(2) Coded an alignment to subpixels.
(3) Removed a hack about suppressing a microscopic segment.
DETAILS:
This patch changes a disabled code only.
It codes an alignment to subpixels, but for a while
it is permanently turned off.
gx_path_init_bbox_accumulator is used by gs_default_glyph_info for
computing a bounding box for a glyph. It does not
store segments to memory, therefore a reference to memory manager
is not provided. But the new hinter accesses it
if a stack-allocated array overflows.
Implementing an immediate transfer of outline poles to
the output path without storing them intermediately in arrays.
This mode works when a grid fitting is not required.
Only exception is flex poles : up to 9 of them
are stored in arrays while flex accumulates.
It must not overflow arrays.
The hack about microscopic segment was a rudiment of old code.
gs_op1_closepath was unintentionally called while
exporting an outline from the hinter. I believe that
the hack is incorrect and should not be applied.
Some outlines render differently.
I'm sorry for mixing 3 things in a single patch.
I've started the subpixel alignment, and
then occasionally discovered other problems.
It's hard to separate changes after they are done,
and I don't think that the separation is so important.

FAPI project : fixing a problem about preparation renderer's
font data for non-disk CIDFontType 0 fonts.
DETAILS:
Without FAPI renderers this patch doesn't change any behavior.
The old code crashed with Free Type because it misinterpreted
gs_font_cid0_data as gs_type1_data. Improving the protocol for
font data preparation : the new code now tells to a renderer about
a top-level CID font, then about it's descendents (which are Type 1),
then again about the top level font. A new type FAPI_descendent_code
represents a type of request. See comments, which this patch adds to code.

Update DSC parser to current Ghostgum Software version.
Fixes SourceForge bug #657289, SEGV on Alpha in DSC parser.
DETAILS:
A %%Page line with mismatched parentheses around the page label
was ignored, but parser state was updated to scanning pages, not
setup section. This resulted in access to dsc->page[-1] which
is invalid and caused a SEGV on Alpha. The updated code now
checks that dsc->page_count is non-zero before accessing
dsc- >page[dsc->page_count-1]. It also makes a second attempt
at finding the page ordinal at the end of a line like:
%%Page: (label with closing parentheses 1
Other parser updates include support for DCS2 files (which is
not quite compliant with DSC), removing a few compiler warnings,
%%HiResBoundingBox, %%CropBox, %%PageCropBox, and being more
resilient to incorrect DSC.

Treat files starting with %Pxxx as PostScript, not PDF. Process
empty files without error. Fixes SourceForge bug #663150, Some
PS files half-recognized as PDF files
DETAILS:
Changes for the 8.00 release to allow reading of PDF files from
stdin caused files starting with %Pxxx to be half recognised as
PDF files. This patch simplifies the PDF recognition code and
makes it treat only files starting with "%PDF-" as PDF. Testing
of this code found that zero length input files caused a
PostScript error. This was an existing error which is fixed by
the gs_epsf.ps patch and last line of the pdf_main.ps patch.

pdfwrite : Implementing widthshow and xshow for composite and CID fonts.
The old (default) implementation converted to raster fonts
and gave inaccurate glyph positions. The new implementation doesn't
convert fonts to raster except for Type 3.
DETAILS:
This also closes the Source Forge bug
"[ 663635 ] ps2pdf cannot tune spacing by xshow for CJK text".
and provides better glyph positions with ashow for WMode 1.
There are small changes to graphics library :
1. Added interface function gx_current_char, which retrieves
a code of current character from a gs_text_enum_t instance.
The function was factored out from an old code.
2. Provided a default metrics for CID fonts for WMode 1.
This is done pretty roughly, because the interface
function glyph_info cannot pass some necessary information (WMode).
Minor changes :
1. Removed the comment "We know that the Tw and Tc values are zero",
It was wrong a long time ago.
2. Inserted a comment about unimplemented DW2. An old code near the
comment depends on the fact that DW2 is not implemented.
This patch brings more access to gs_text_enum_t::fstack
around the defined interface functions.
The list of gs_text_enum_t interface functions to be revised.

Fix for [ 664473 ] 64bit color indexes break X driver.
This fix corrects some problems found with the X window
driver and 64 bit gx_color_indexes found by customer 1110.
DETAILS:
The problems were found on Sparc workstations running the
Solaris 8.0. The problem has not been reported on other
systems. However the fix is simple (and contributed by
customer 1110) and should work on all systems. The fix
is simply to use "long" for values passed to X windows
system routines. This is done via a combination of casts
or local variables depending upon the situation. The use
of "long" for gx_color_index was the default prior to the
8.0 release. The X windows device does not need the extra
size for color values.

Within the display device, correctly allocate the memory device
with the correct structure descriptor.
DETAILS:
The display device was allocating a memory device by taking a
memory device prototype from gdev_mem_device_for_bits and then
using gs_copydevice on it. This allocates the wrong size
because the prototype does not have a structure descriptor. The
correct way is to allocate it with gs_alloc_struct with
st_device_memory as an argument. This bug was found when using
the display device in GhostPCL, which was complaining on
shutdown about the unfreed structure descriptors left behind by
gs_copydevice.

Fix (Type 42 interpreter) : Providing a tolerance to bytecode segmentation with sfnts string.
DETAILS:
Source Forge bug "[ 667362 ] /rangecheck in --.type42execchar--", Customer #411.
According to Type 42 specifications, the segmentation is not allowed.
Perhaps the test file has it. IMO it is easier to fix than to prove to the customer.
This slightly changes the interface function gs_type42_data::string_proc .
See comments in code.
By the way, added a check for absenting vmtx/hmtx (gstype42.c ln 530).
The old code was not safe.

Add a message for filters (such as JBIG2Decode) that we can't handle and
continue processing the file as much as we can without the problem data.
This is related to SourceForge bug #668580.
DETAILS:
The Repaired flag is preserved across the 'pdfformaterror' calls so that
we don't squawk about the Creator of the PDF (its our fault, not theirs).
Also a special utility filter was created to /.EOFDecode that gives an
immediate EOF without consuming any data from its input.
2003-01-16 18:29 Ray Johnston
Restructure the PDF top level processing (runpdf) to factor out a 'begin',
'do', and 'end' procedures. These can be used by clients to open a PDF
then access information from the PDF interpreter dictionaries about the
document or pages prior to actually processing pages with 'dopdfpages'.
DETAILS:
This will allow information to be accessed such as Dests, Names and Annots.
For example, to get the Names info, use:
(somefile.pdf) (r) file runpdfbegin
Trailer /Root oget /Names knownoget
Similarly, Annotations for a page (page 3 in the example below) can be
accessed using:
(somefile.pdf) (r) file runpdfbegin
3 pdffindpage /Resources oget /Annots knownoget {
% process Annots

Fix (Dropout prevention) : Sometimes active lines were not ordered,
causing a dropout.
DETAILS:
This patch changes a disabled code only.
The filling algorithm consider 2 cases :
when an Y-gap contains pixel centers and when it doesn't.
The old algorithm used a trick for better performance,
which skips the line ordering for the case of no pixel centers.
Perhaps the order is important for dropout prevention.
Disabling the trick when dropout prevention is on.

DETAILS:
This patch changes a disabled code only.
1. An optimization : hint complexes are replaced with hint_range.
The old code was overcomplicated.
2. A bug in t1_hinter__compute_type1_stem_ranges -
an extra pole was added at range end.
3. A bug in t1_hinter__align_stem_poles -
Some offcurve poles were erroneously grid fitted with a wrong hint.
This change causes multiple differences in hinted outlines,
almost all files render few differently.

Modifies pick_cell_size to make a more accurate, and less round-off
error dependent, selection of screen cell size.
DETAILS
The prior code in pick_cell_size used an unusual metric for
measuring the "closeness of fit" of an actual screen cell to the
requested frequency and angle. If the angle variation was 0 (quite
likely for the common 0/45/90 degree angles), the frequency
variation was ignored. In addition, this metric was very sensitive
to floating-point arithmetic round-off errors. The new metric is
both more reasonable and less round-off error dependent.

Reducing the C stack consumption in ztype1execchar.
The new code must be equivalent to the old one.
DETAILS:
The new type 1 hinter (with NEW_TYPE1_HINTER = 1 in gx.h)
puts more 11K of data to C stack. Perhaps due to a recursion
in bbox_draw 2 instances of the hinter were placed in C stack
simultaneously, causing C stack overflow with gswin32c.exe on
Windows NT 4.0 (but not on Windows 2000).
Perhaps the recursion is not necessary.
Reorganizing the sequence of calls to avoid the recursion.
New argument 'exec_cont' was added to several
functions for transferring the call request to clients.
Corresponding comments are added in code.
Also z1_glyph_info prototype was added in ichar1.h .
It was missed a long time ago, Cygwin/gcc warned.
A further improvement may be done with factoring out
a common code from bbox_finish_fill, bbox_finish_stroke,
bbox_fill, bbox_stroke. Delaying it until a regression testing.

Include libz in the autoconf test for libpng.
DETAILS:
This is a fix for systems without interlibrary dependencies. We don't use
the LIBS variable constructed by default by the AC_CHECK_LIB macro and
did not maintain it in our previous zlib test, thus -lz was not included
on the link line in the libpng test.
Our primary test systems for the autoconf build (Debian GNU/Linux and MacOS X + fink)
include an interlibrary dependency, so this did not cause a problem. On
systems where this is not the case, it results in a confusing error.
Patch from Peter Breitenlohner.

After a patch by Peter Breitenlohner.
2003-01-08 21:39 Ralph Giles
Correct a nesting error in the libpng detection code.
DETAILS:
This does not change actually behavior, because of the way M4 works,
the literal loop end was just interchanged with the implicit one from
the AC_CHECK_LIB() macro with no code inbetween, which is why the mistake
went undetected.
Thanks to Peter Breitenlohner for catching this.

Dropout prevention : (1) Replace the horizontal line processing.
(2) Returning the hack about horizontal lines for non-character fills.
This patch changes a disabled code only.
DETAILS:
With the old type 1 hinter, hinted outlines get
self-intersections at small resolution. It's a problem
of the old hinter. Perhaps it discovered a defect
in horizontal line handling.
With self-intersections, the side of spot interior
may be different for different parts of same line.
This patch completely replaces the handling of
horizontal lines. It maintains 2 lists of
horizontal lines, which correspond to y and y1
in fill_loop_by_trapezoids. Then we intersect those
lines with margins and add corresponding segments
of boundaries separately for each part delimited
with an intersection.
The
"* This is a hack to make sure that isolated horizontal
* lines get stroked."
was erroneously disabled for non-character fills,
causing a regression with QA_Inv.pdf .
Restoring it now, except for characters.
This patch removes the contour area computation,
which was introduced in revision 1.19 .
2003-01-07 16:32 Igor Melichev
fuzzy.c : Add writing the fuzzy difference to PPM or BMP file.
DETAILS:
Additional (optional) argument added to specify the result file path.
We did not take care about compression.
BMP files usually store image upside down.
Rather negative BITMAPINFOHEADER::biHeight specify "upside up"
representation, Windows Paint cannot handle it.
Therefore we write BMP file in reverse order.

2003-01-06 17:43 Igor Melichev
Initial commit for a new type 1 hinter.
This patch must not change any behavior.
DETAILS:
This is a porting from HINTER branch.
The old hinter cannot handle overlapping hints,
but real fonts do use them.
The handling of overlapped hints cannot be done within
a single-pass algorithm. Therefore we intend to replace entire thing.
Besides, it should fix a set of known problems :
- stem degradation at small resolutions;
- stem missing or misrecognition;
- proper adjustment of dependent stems;
- suppress overshoots closer to Adobe;
This patch introduces a couple of new macros,
which will be removed later.
For switching to the new hinter, change the definition of
NEW_TYPE1_HINTER in gx.h . It is not well debugged yet.
New files added : gxhintn.c, gxhintn.h .

Fix (dropout prevention) : A bug in store_margin.
This patch changes disabled code only.

Fix (dropout prevention) : Direction of horizontal lines was computed wrongly.
DETAILS:
This patch changes disabled code only.
Debugged with character 's' in the 1st page of 033-52-5873.pdf .
2002-12-30 18:24 Igor Melichev
Fix (FAPI) : Don't try to get a glyph name for CID fonts.
Thanks for Graham Asher for spotting it.
DETAILS:
It was an inaccurate coding. I'm sorry.
2002-12-30 05:51 Ray Johnston
Reduce state.width delta radius calculation for shadings that was made too
large by the previous commit.
DETAILS:
Previous commit mistakenly included the state.dr value as both the X and
Y component in the distance transform that produced the dev_dr vector.
The hypot is actually all that is required to handle getting the correct
scaled radius distance independent of the CTM rotation.
The use of state.dr for both X and Y preceded the use of hypot on dev_dr
and wasn't taken out when the hypot function use was added.
This should eliminate most, if not all regressions caused by the 12/24
1.18 patch to this module.
2002-12-29 19:42 Igor Melichev
Fix (Type 1 interpreter) : setcurrentpoint missed the vstem3 shift.
DETAILS:
Detected with character 'm' in -r150 comparefiles/NIL_0003.pdf .
The missed vs_offset erroneously shifted a part of path coordinates
relatively to stem hint coordinates so that stems could not recognize.
The character rendered unhinted.
This patch causes differences in character rendering.
Regression test on Windows detects a difference with
-r300 comparefiles/NIL_0003.pdf only, which looks unimportant.
2002-12-28 12:35 Igor Melichev
Improving the dropout prevention algorithm
This patch changes disabled code only.
DETAILS:
In zchar42.c I set path adjustment to zero.
It is the correct value with dropout prevention.
The last revision of dropout prevention algorithm
appears buggy : the order of margins in margin_list
can be wrong and causes dropouts. This is essentially
important with CJK True Types, which have thing horizontal
stems and no hinting with GS.
This revision replaces the representation of margins
with a simpler one. It is not optimized for bold
characters, perhaps the optimization is not hard.
See comment in code about "bold".
A good advantage is the removal of insert_pseudo_margin.
It appears done due to insufficient knowledge of the old algorithm.
2002-12-26 11:26 Igor Melichev
Fix : fuzzy.c wrongly compared images.
DETAILS:
It didn't compare w/2 rows near the upper edge of the image.
MSVC release build compared an uninitialized data instead them.
2002-12-24 19:00 Ray Johnston
Radial shading did not work if the CTM was rotated (mat.xx == mat.yy ==0).
DETAILS:
The state.width calculation would end up 0 if the circles were concentric
and the CTM was rotated. Revised calculation should work even for other
non-orthogonal CTMs. File added to the regression suite.
Fixes SF bug #658286 for Artifex customer #190.
2002-12-24 14:20 Igor Melichev
Improving and optimizing the dropout prevention algorithm
with splitting gx_default_fill_parallelogram into 2 variants.
DETAILS:
This patch almost changes a disabled code.
A simple reorganization of some enabled code should not
cause a behavior difference.
Filling a "small" character, we always subdivide trapezoids into
rectangles instead passing them to device virtual function.
It allows :
1. Not passing narrow trapezoids to applications
which implement fill_trapezoid with own means;
Narrow trapezoids could cause dropouts in there.
2. Optimize variants of fill_trapezoid algorithm which
are used for different purposes (preventing about 10% slowdown
with shadings).
We believe this change isn't harmful because
regularly we render small characters to cache device,
which simply forwards trapezoids to default implementation.
Alternatively we could insert a check for narrow trapezoids
into loop_fill_trap, but such check appears complex and
it would sensibly reduce performance.
New files added : gdevddrw.h, gxdtfill.h .
Change to lib.mak accounts them.
Besides that, with dropout prevention we now skip empty paths
in characters, because Adobe doesn't paint them.

Initial commit for the dropout prevention code in rasterizer.
It doesn't not change any behavior.
DETAILS:
Switching to new code is being controlled with DROPOUT_PREVENTION
macro defined in gx.h . Now it is set to "use old code".
This patch :
1. Ports the "margin" algorithm from HINTER branch.
Now the algorithm renamed to "pseudo-rasterization".
2. Ports the dropout prevention to gx_default_fill_trapezoid from HINTER branch,
providing a contiguous fill for slightly slanted trapezoids.
3. Adds CONNECT_RECTANGLES into gx_default_fill_trapezoid
providing a contiguous fill for highly slanted trapezoids.
4. Fixes some problems in the "pseudo-rasterization".
5. Disables all hacks about path adjustment and oversampling
when DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on. Those hacks were attempts
to fix dropouts for small characters, but they do not solve
the problem completely.
6. Provide visual trace instructions for debugging purpose.
Changes to gxpcopy.c and gxpflat.c only insert visual trace instructions for
debugging purpose. Currently all them compile to empty code.
Changes to gdevddrw.c, gxchar.c, gxtype1.c, gx.h
are protected with DROPOUT_PREVENTION. With current settings they
compile to old code.
Changes to gxfill.c are not so obvious. I was unhappy with duplicating
a thousand of lines in #if...#else...#endif. Therefore
I've inserted some dynamic checks. They are controlled with
'pseudo_rasterization' flag. Currently it always false,
so that inserted sections are either bypassed or immediately
return from subroutines.
Changes to lib.mak only add some dependences on vdtrace.h .
In local testing the patch caused no difference with
Comparefiles (if DROPOUT_PREVENTION is 0).
If someone wants to try new code, DROPOUT_PREVENTION to be modified in gx.h .
In this case all old hacks about path adjustment are disabled,
and therefore characters render some lighter.
Visual trace may be activated with -Tf option in gs command line.
Note that it paints a big draft for any character rendered,
so you should run only simple PS files with a single character.
Also the draft scale is hardcoded in VD_SCALE constants,
so it may give an unuseful result with big character rasters.
At last please remember that visual trace window is implemented
only for Windows - other platforms will not paint anything.
The visual trace window does not implement a regeneration of painting,
therefore windows must not overlap. Run gswin32.exe with no file,
move windows and then perform 'quit' to store window layout to system Registry.
here is a simple test, which visualize improvements when
DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on :
%!
100 350 moveto
/Courier findfont 2 scalefont [5 0 0 1 0 0] makefont setfont
(/) show
showpage
With 72dpi the old code paints nothing.
The (DROPOUT_PREVENTION=1) paints a spot.
Testing the new code with -r300 001.01.ps, the box 001-12 renders better :
no dropouts in "4", characters look better.
In gx.h I've added FILL_TRAP_WITH_SWAPPED_AXES flag. The goal is to archive
and document a dead branch of the development. I'd like to store it into
archive and then remove it in the next revision.
Two temporary configuration switches added for benchmarking purpose :
- PSEUDO_RASTERIZATION in gxfill.c disables the pseudo-rasterization
separately from other changes.
- CONTIGUOUS_FILL disables additional checks in gdevddrw.c
separately from other changes.
With text documents performance change is almost invisible.
With Coons01.ps each of these flags give a 10% slowdown.
I guess the reason is that the code becomes too complex for
global optimization with MSVC 6.0 for Intel Pentium 3.
Other compilers/processors may give different results.
Thanks to Ray Johnston and Raph Levien for useful remarks.
This patch accounts them.

Prevent the bbox put_params from using the color mapping
functions before the device is opened.
Fixes Sourceforge bug #645531 "seg fault: bbox device + PAPERSIZE".
DETAILS:
Using "-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=bbox" crashes in GS 8 when the
device parameters are being set prior to opening the bbox device.
bbox_put_params calls bbox_copy_params, gx_device_black
then the bbox encode_color which is NULL.
This is wrong because encode_color must not be called before
the device is open. See doc/Drivers.htm#Life_cycle for details.
Prior to the DeviceN changes this did not matter because
the map_rgb_color function was valid. Post DeviceN the
encode_color procedure is called and this is NULL until
just before the bbox device is opened.
The fix prevents bbox_copy_params from calling the
encode_color procedure while the device is closed.

2002-12-17 18:24 Jack Moffitt
Update test scripts to omit -rXXX parameter for pdfwrite, instead of using
-r720 explicitly, so that it uses the default behavior.
2002-12-17 17:54 Jack Moffitt

common use case.
2002-12-16 12:31 Igor Melichev

Fix for [ 652147 ] overprintmode not boolean. Adobe TN5145 defines
the paramters to/from setoverprintmode/currentoverprintmode as being
boolean. This change modifies the implementation to match the TN.
DETAILS:
Previously the operators setoverprintmode and currentoverprintmode had
been defined to match the requirements of PDF which uses an integer for
the parameter. However Adobe TN5145 defines the postscript implementation
as using a boolean value. This change modifies the definition of these
operators in lib/gs_ll3.ps to convert the parameter type. The internal
operators .setoverprintmode/.curentoverprintmode still use the PDF integer
parameter. The postscript code in lib/gs_ll3.ps converts the parameter
type.

Handle TrueType fonts that contain poorly formatted 'post' tables.
These were seen as font subsets embedded in PDF files.
Fixes SourceForge bug #651164 for customer #150.
DETAILS:
The file contains an embedded TT font subset that has a badly formatted
'post' table. This table is used to replace names in the standard encoding
for specific glyphs. The 'post' table in question maps a bunch of glyphs
that are not part of the subset to the first name in glyphnames section,
but the glyphnames section is empty. It should have at least a single byte
of 0x00 to form a zero length Pascal string.
I also added a warning that prints if the DEBUG is enabled. Since the
'postglyphs' string is automatically extended with a 0x00 byte when the
problem is detected, the warning only prints once for the font.

Fix (FAPI) : Rename round() to fapi_round() to avoid shadowing the C99 call of the same name.
DETAILS:
In particular, the redeclaration of round() causes a compiler error under
Apple's gcc (October 2002 Developer Tools, MacOS X 10.2.2). MSVC doesn't
implement the C99 round() and in any case we don't need the full behaviour,
so a private implementation seems the best portable option.

Avoid the stack overflow. Don't put all CID values on the
operand stack at once during identity CMap generation.
Fixes SourceForge bug #646809 "/stackoverflow"

The sample file pushed about 50K numbers to the operand stack
causing /stackoverflow. Since the numbers are always sequential
the new procedure takes a range of numbers. The range is defined
by the initial value and string length.

Adjust comments to reflect the current status (which FDSelect format can
possibly overflow the operand stack) and add comments to identify which
format corresponds to each procedure.
DETAILS:
A test case that used Format 0 was not available, so no change was made to
avoid large operand stack usage for Format 0, but the previous comment
placement may have left the impression that Format 3 still had the problem.
2002-12-04 19:50 Ray Johnston
Handling of OpenType (OTTO) fonts with CFF fonts inside would fail if the
CFF table was not the first table in the table directory. Also stack
overflow could occur when building the FDSelect array. Now Asian fonts
sold by Adobe (as OpenType .otf fonts) can be used with Ghostscript.
DETAILS:
The initial table scanning checked the 32-bit table type against the
(CFF ) string, but then failed to skip the following 12 bytes if the table
was not CFF. Since the initial table is usually BASE, most OTTO fonts were
not usable.
Also the FDSelect array construction used the stack, so could easily
overflow if there was a largest glyph index in the font was too large. The
method used creates a 65535 element array, then fills it using the info
from the font's FDSelect info. The extra elements of the array are 'trimmed'
using getinterval.

When adding a missing showpage to an EPS file,
don't bind showpage to allow user to override it.
DETAILS:
The EPS encapsulation code in ghostscript adds a showpage
if one is not present, so that displaying, printing and
converting all behave the same. Some users are feeding
multiple EPS files to ghostscript, intending to print them
on a single page. The current code will print each EPS file
on a single page. For example following code would print
three pages:
save
/showpage {} def
save (file1.eps) run restore
save (file2.eps) run restore
restore
showpage
With this fix, it will print a single page.
Other ways to avoid this problem are to use -dNOEPS,
or (file.eps) (r) file cvx exec

Fix (pdfwrite) : Skip redundant clipping paths.
SourceForge bug "[ 624168 ] poor performance on patterns".
DETAILS:
Besides others, the document "a)page Afrique(VECTO).eps"
creates multiple redundant clip paths with any AI "pattern"
(actually it doesn't use PS patterns). The old code was
too conservative, using only a comparison of path identifiers.
The patch creates a stable copy of clipping path written to PDF,
and compares it when PS clip path changes. The old comparison
is left unchanged for better performance.

Providing a diagnostics when failed to open temporary file or the device output file.
DETAILS:
This change provides an explanation to user about the problem, rather than fixes it.
An improvement about the failure will be a separate patch.

(note new History8.htm file).
Version 8.00 (2002-11-21)
This is the 8.00 release of AFPL Ghostscript. The most significant new
feature since 7.0x is support for DeviceN colorspaces, up to 8
colorants total at 8 bits per component. Also, pdfwrite has seen
considerable improvement in font handling, and many other bug fixes.

Utilities
Fixes problems:
- Don't overwrite source file when ps2pdf.bat is used with 1
argument and the argument has no ".ps" extension. (Fixed by Moritz Barsnick)
Bug #631974 (lib/ps2pdfxx.bat [1.13]: 2002/11/20 03:01:23 alexcher)
Drivers
Documents the old macos output device as deprecated. This is superceeded by
the gdevdsp. (gdevmac.c [1.7]: 2002/11/20 18:24:44 giles)
PDF writer
Fixes problems:
- Fix (pdfwrite) : pdf_put_colored_pattern wrongly accessed pattern
mask. SourceForge bugs "[ 623989 ] (pdfwrite) wrong colors with 269-01.ps",
"[ 602995 ] (pdfwrite) 269-01.ps limitcheck". (gdevpdfv.c [1.20]: 2002/11/18
22:23:40 igor)
- Fix (pdfwrite) : Providing additional documentation about embedded
fonts. (gdevpdtb.c [1.12]: 2002/11/20 10:21:15 igor)
- Fix (pdfwrite) : Encoding Differences were not written for
embedded Type 1,2 fonts that have a very instandard Encoding. Discovered
with SF bug "[ 641296 ] acrobat generates bad ps from gs pdf".
(gdevpdtt.c [1.24]: 2002/11/21 00:05:06 igor)
- Fix (pdfwrite) : The previous patch about Encoding Differences was
inaccurate about True Types and CID fonts. Improving it with a better
condition. (gdevpdtt.c [1.25]: 2002/11/21 03:44:11 igor)
PDF Interpreter
Fixes problems:
- Pattern stream was copied to the string failing with rangecheck
for long streams. The patch uses strings when possible and switches to
reusable streams for longer streams. Bug #634080, customer #561
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.63]: 2002/11/21 01:29:07 alexcher)
Interpreter
Fixes problems:
- Correction for 637954 dina3_watermark.pdf fails on GS 7.33. This
forces the color space to /DeviceGray whenever the initgraphics operator is
called. Previously if color space substitution was active and the last
colorspace was /DeviceGray then its substituted colorspace would remain
active. (lib/gs_cspace.ps [1.5]: 2002/11/18 23:42:18 dan)
- Packed array is accepted now as an encoded user path in insideness
testing operators. Bug #640855 (zupath.c [1.7]: 2002/11/20 18:17:28
alexcher)
- Fix : (1) gc_status.requested was not initialized for stable
memories, but used by alloc_acquire_chunk. (2) setting
gc_status.vm_threshold and gc_status.enabled for stable memories
synchronously with non-stable ones. This allows to control stable memories
with setvmthreshold and vmreclaim. With default settings pdfwrite now works
faster. SourceForge bug "[ 621243 ] (pdfwrite) slow mahle.pdf"
(zvmem2.c [1.7]: 2002/11/20 18:56:56 igor)
- Bring /SubstituteFont procedure prototype up to the standard:
<name> SubstituteFont <name> . Do traditional GS font
substitution after the standard font substitution. Use no-op standard font
substitution for backward compatibility. Bug #637424 Customer #71
(lib/gs_fonts.ps [1.24]: 2002/11/21 04:43:58 alexcher)
When processing multiple EPS files, call showpage if necessary for
subsequent files. (lib/gs_epsf.ps [1.10]: 2002/11/19 20:14:01 ghostgum)
Corrects a small typo in the api documentation. (gdevdsp.h [1.7]: 2002/11/20
17:46:26 giles)

(lib/gs_init.ps [1.74]: 2002/11/21 07:12:17 raph)
Library
Fixes problems:
- Fix : lsb must not apply to True Type subglyphs. The offset to be
taken from composite only. SourceForge bugs "[ 623122 ] component shift in
TrueType composites", "[ 536863 ] Type11 layout bugs". (gstype42.c [1.25]:
2002/11/20 09:55:26 igor)
- Fix : (1) gc_status.requested was not initialized for stable
memories, but used by alloc_acquire_chunk. (2) setting
gc_status.vm_threshold and gc_status.enabled for stable memories
synchronously with non-stable ones. This allows to control stable memories
with setvmthreshold and vmreclaim. With default settings pdfwrite now works
