WARNING: do not use Pete Kaiser's emacs function "gs-toc" alone to
re-create the table of contents here, because it will replace the
hand-edited TOC subheads with a separate subhead for each H2 in
the body of the file. Or if you do, first look at the original
TOC to see how to edit it for visual conciseness.

<h2><a name="Version9.10"></a>Version 9.10 (2013-08-27)</h2>
<p>This is the ninth full release in the stable 9.x series, and is
primarily a maintenance release.
<p> Highlights in this release include:
<ul>
<li>
<p> Background printing (BGPrint) is a new feature allowing an accumulated page
clist to be rendered by one or more rendering threads whilst the interpreter
(in the "main" thread) continues to accumulate the subsequent page's clist.
For certain classes of file this can result in a useful performance increase.
See: <a href="Language.htm#Banding_parameters">Banding Parameters</a>
</li>
<li>
<p> GrayDetection allows suitably written devices to detect "color" input
in near neutral tones (i.e. near monochrome) and to convert "on-the-fly" to
pure grayscale, whilst retaining the ability to print full color on demand.
This is primarily aimed at workflows where saving ink (especially color inks)
is required.
See: <a href="Language.htm#Device_parameters">Device Parameters</a>
</li>
<li>
<p> LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the latest versions.
</li>
<li>
<p> Support has been added to build the Ghostscript DLL for WinRT for x86,
x64 and ARM (Requires MS Visual Studio 2012 Pro).
</li>
<li>
<p> Processing of Windows command line arguments into UTF8 (as presaged a few
releases ago) has been enhanced and enabled by default.
</li>
<li>
<p> The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the latest version, fixing
many compatibility problems with the Adobe fonts.
</li>
<li>
<p>Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
</li>
</ul>
