This file highlights changes unique to the GhostPDL languages: PCL/PXL, XPS, SVG and the language switch configuration. Ghostscript changes are documented in its own NEWS file. GhostPDL uses a lot of Ghostscript's code, in particular the graphics library and many output devices are shared, so many items in the Ghostscript NEWS file are relevant to GhostPDL. GhostPDL users should consult both files. GhostPDL Release 9.0.4 (August 2011) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * This release is primarily a bug fixing release with some improvements to auto configuration for unix and Mac OS X environments. GhostPDL Release 9.0.2 (March 2011) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Revised approach for applying a halftone to sampled image data for monochrome output devices. GhostPDL Release 9.0.1 (February 2011) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Adds this file (NEWS) to document newsworthy changes since the last release. * Profile configurations for Visual Studio projects are now supported. * Implementation for JPEG-XR (previously known as HD-Photo) has been completed for XPS. * The languages: PCL, XPS and SVG, now support and default to the display device on Windows. * Optimizations related to clipping and blank pages, for details see logs for revisions 12036 and 12027. * pcl/PCL5C_Color_Laserjet_4700_Differences.xls and pxl/PXL_Color_Laserjet_4700_Differences.xls document and illustrate differences between the Artifex PCL interpreter and the HP Color Laserjet 4700. * Include the new tiffscaled device. This entry overlaps with a similar news entry in ghostscript news but the device is important for PCL fax customers and was worthy of mention here as well. See Ghostscript news for details. * The languages (PCL, XPS and SVG) now support the ps2write device. This is intended to replace pswrite which will eventually be deprecated in a future release. The output of ps2write is DSC-compliant level 2 PostScript.
