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="Version9.15"></a>Version 9.15 (2014-09-16)</h2>
<p>This is the eleventh full release in the stable 9.x series, and is
primarily a maintenance release.
<p> Highlights in this release include:
<ul>
<li>
<p>Ghostscript now supports the PDF security handler revision 6.
</li>
<li>
<p>The pdfwrite and ps2write (and related) devices can now be forced to "flatten"
glyphs into "basic" marking operations (rather than writing fonts to the output),
by giving the <code>-dNoOutputFonts</code> command line option (defaults to "false")
</li>
<li>
<p> PostScript programs can now use get_params or get_param to
determine if a page contains color markings by reading the pageneutralcolor
state from the device (so whether the page is "color" or "mono").
<p> Note that this is only accurate when in clist mode, so <code>-dMaxBitmap=0</code>
and <code>-dGrayDetection=true</code> should both be used.
</li>
<li>
<p> The pdfwrite device now supports Link annotations with GoTo and GoToR actions
</li>
<li>
<p> The pdfwrite device now supports BMC/BDC/EMC pdfmarks
</li>
<li>
<p> Regarding the new color management for the pdfwrite device introduced in the
previous release, the proscription on using the new color management when producing
PDF/A-1 compliant files is now lifted.
<p> To reiterate, also, with the new color management implementation, using the
UseCIEColor option is <strong><em>strongly</em></strong> discouraged.
<p> For further information on the new pdfwrite color management,
see: <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Color_Conversion_and_Management">Color Conversion and Management</a>
</li>
<li>
<p>Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
</li>
</ul>
