* Wed Oct 30 2024 jsmeix@suse.com
- Enhanced entry below dated "Wed Oct 23 08:54:59 UTC 2024"
by adding the individual "bsc" numbers for each CVE, see
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1232173#c4
and by adding the "IMPORTANT" change in Ghostscript 10.04.0
- spec file cleanup: removed the special cases for SLE12
i.e. rely on "suse_version >= 1500" as given precondition
(recent Ghostscript versions fail to build in SLE12 anyway)
* Wed Oct 23 2024 dmueller@suse.com
- Version upgrade to 10.04.0 (bsc#1232173):
Highlights in this release include:
See 'Recent Changes in Ghostscript' at Ghostscript upstream
https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/gs10.04.0/News.html
* This release addresses:
+ CVE-2024-46951 (bsc#1232265)
+ CVE-2024-46952 (bsc#1232266)
+ CVE-2024-46953 (bsc#1232267)
+ CVE-2024-46954 (bsc#1232268)
+ CVE-2024-46955 (bsc#1232269)
+ CVE-2024-46956 (bsc#1232270)
* IMPORTANT: In this release (10.04.0)
we (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) have be added
protection for device selection from PostScript input.
This will mean that, by default, only the device specified
on the command line will be permitted. Similar to the file
permissions, there will be a "--permit-devices=" allowing
a comma separation list of allowed devices. This will also
take a single wildcard "*" allowing any device.
Any application which relies on allowing PostScript
to change devices during a job will have to be aware,
and take action to deal with this change.
The exception is "nulldevice", switching to that requires
no special action.

* Tue Mar 26 2024 jsmeix@suse.com
- Version upgrade to 10.03.0:
For openSUSE and SUSE Ghostscript is built '--without-tesseract'
(see the entry below dated 'Mon Jul 18 07:28:54 UTC 2022').
Highlights in this release include:
See 'Recent Changes in Ghostscript' at Ghostscript upstream
https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/gs10.03.0/News.html
* As of this release (10.03.0) pdfwrite creates PDF files
with XRef streams and ObjStm streams. This can result in
considerably smaller PDF output files. See Vector Devices
https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/VectorDevices.html
for more details.
* Ghostscript/pdfwrite now supports passing through
PDF "Optional Content".
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes (the release is listed in parentheses):
* (10.03.0) Almost all the "internal" PostScript procedures
defined during the interpreter startup are now "executeonly",
further reducing the attack surface of the interpreter.
The nature of these procedures means there should be no impact
for legitimate usage, but it is possible it will impact uses
which abuse the previous accessibility (even for legitimate
reasons). Such cases may now require "DELAYBIND", See DELAYBIND
https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Use.html#ddelaybind
* (10.03.0) The "makeimagedevice" non-standard operator has been
removed. It allowed low level access to the graphics library
in a way that was, essentially impossible to secure.
* (10.03.0) The "putdeviceprops", "getdeviceprops",
"finddevice", "copydevice", "findprotodevice" non-standard
operators have all been removed. They provided functionality
that is either accessible through standard operators,
or should not be used by user PostScript.
* (10.03.0) The process of "tidying" the PostScript namespace
should have removed only non-standard and undocumented
operators. Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations
or utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented
operators may stop working or may change behaviour.
If you encounter such a case, please contact us
(Discord https://discord.gg/H9GXKwyPvY
[#]ghostscript IRC channel https://web.libera.chat/#ghostscript

but remember that free versions of Ghostscript
come with with NO WARRANTY and NO SUPPORT.
- Ghostscript 10.03.0 contains the fix to build with GCC 14
(boo#1221687)
* Tue Feb 27 2024 dimstar@opensuse.org

* Thu Feb 22 2024 kukuk@suse.com
- Allow to disable apparmor support (ALP supports only SELinux)
* Sun Jan 28 2024 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 10.02.1:
* Patch release to address some security bugs
* This release (10.02.0) marks the final demise of the
PostScript based PDF interpreter.
* This 10.01.1 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
interpreter.
* This 10.01.0 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
interpreter.
* This release officially deprecates the old Postscript
implementation of PDF, we will not be updating or maintaining
that code moving forward. The option to use the old PDF
implementation _**will**_ be removed in the next full release
(10.01.0)
* Important: This release includes the new PDF interpreter
(implemented in C rather than PostScript). It is both
integrated into Ghostscript (now ENABLED by default), and
available as a standalone, PDF only, binary. See
https://ghostscript.com/pdfi.html for more details.
* This also bundles the latest zlib (1.2.12) which addresses a
security issue (CVE-2018-25032)

- update to 9.56.1:
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://ghostscript.com/docs/9.56.1/News.htm):
* New PDF Interpreter: This is an entirely new implementation
written in C (rather than PostScript, as before)
* Calling Ghostscript via the GS API is now thread safe. The one
limitation is that the X11 devices for Unix-like systems (x11,
x11alpha, x11cmyk, x11cmyk2, x11cmyk4, x11cmyk8, x11gray2,
x11gray4 and x11mono) cannot be made thread safe, due to their
interaction with the X11 server, those devices have been
modified to only allow one instance in an executable.
* The PSD output device now writes ICC profiles to their output
files, for improved color fidelity.
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
incremental improvements.
* We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR
engine. In such a build, new devices are available
(pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32) which render the output file to an
image, OCR that image, and output the image "wrapped" up as a
PDF file, with the OCR generated text information included
as "invisible" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).
Mainly due to time constraints, we only support including
Tesseract from source included in our release packages,
and not linking to Tesseract/Leptonica shared libraries.
Whether we add this capability will be largely dependent
on community demand for the feature. See Enabling OCR
at https://www.ghostscript.com/ocr.html for more details.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.54.0/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

- Version upgrade to 9.54.0
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.54.0/News.htm):
* The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release,
and also adds new functionality.
* Overprint simulation is now available to all output devices,
allowing quality previewing/proofing of PostScript and
PDF jobs that rely on overprint. See the -dOverprint option
documentation in: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#Overprint
* The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output
to Microsoft Word "docx" format.
See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#DOCX
* The pdfwrite device is now capable of using the Tesseract OCR
engine when it is built into Ghostscript to improve
searchability and copy and paste functionality when the input
lacks the metadata for that purpose.
See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#UseOCR
* Ghostscript/GhostPDL now includes a "map text to black"
function, where text drawn by an input job (except when drawn
using a Type 3 font) can be forced to draw in solid black.
See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#BlackText
* Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition
"internally". See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#NupControl

- Version upgrade to 9.53.3
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/News.htm):
* The 9.53.3 release is primarily maintenance.
* Issues arose with 9.53.0/1/2 that prompted the release
of a .3 patch:
A crash related to management of ICC profile objects.
A parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostscript
to error out during initialisation, which
affected 64 big, big endian architectures.
An unexpected side effect of another change that prevented
multithreaded rendering and background rendering
from working correctly.
* The most obvious change is the (re-)introduction of the
patch level to the version number, this helps facilitate
a revised policy on handling security related issues.
To clarify: in the event we decide to release a patch revision,
it will replace the release with the previous patch number.
Release notes, highlights and warnings will remain the same,
except for the addition of whatever fix(es) prompted the patch.
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* We have added Python bindings for the gsapi interface, can be
found in demos/python. These are experimental, and we welcome
feedback from interested developers.
* For those integrating Ghostscript/GhostPDL via the gsapi
interface, we have added new capabilities to that, specifically
in terms of setting and interrogating device parameters. These,
along with the existing interface calls, are documented in:
Ghostscript Interpreter API at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/API.htm
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
* For a list of open issues, or to report problems, please visit
bugs.ghostscript.com
Incompatible changes:
* As of 9.53.0, we have (re-)introduced the patch level to the
version number, this helps facilitate a revised policy
on handling security related issues.
Note for GSView Users: The patch level addition breaks
GSView 5 (it is hardcoded to check for versions 704-999).
It is possible, but not guaranteed that a GSView update might
be forthcoming to resolve this.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- CVE-2020-15900.patch is no longer needed

* Wed Apr 29 2020 jsmeix@suse.de
- The version upgrade to 9.52 fixes in particular
CVE-2020-12268: jbic2dec: heap-based buffer overflow
in jbig2_image_compose (bsc#1170603)
- Version upgrade to 9.52
Highlights in this release include:
* The 9.52 release replaces the 9.51 release after a problem
was reported with 9.51 which warranted the quick turnaround.
Thus, like 9.51, 9.52 is primarily a maintenance release,
consolidating the changes we introduced in 9.50.
* IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt
(the "mt" indicating "multi-thread").
LCMS2 is not thread-safe, and cannot be made thread-safe
without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread-safe and
include performance enhancements (these changes have all
been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time,
but not in perpetuity. If there is sufficient interest,
our fork will be available as its own package separately
from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* New option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY: The transparency compositor
(and related features), whilst we are improving it, remains
sensitive to being driven correctly, and incorrect use
can have unexpected/undefined results. Hence, as part of
improving security, we limited access to these operators,
originally using the -dSAFER feature. As we made "SAFER"
the default mode, that became unacceptable, hence the
new option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY which enables access
to the operators, cf.
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/Use.htm#ALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Version upgrade to 9.51
Highlights in this release include:
* 9.51 is primarily a maintainance release, consolidating
the changes we introduced in 9.50.
* We have continued our work on code hygiene for this release,
with a focus on the static analysis tool Coverity
(from Synopsys, Inc) and we are now maintaining a policy of
zero Coverity issues in the Ghostscript/GhostPDL source base.
* IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of
OpenPrinting (http://www.openprinting.org/) it is our
intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future,
remove the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers
(that is, the opvp and oprp devices).
If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch
with us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream), so we can discuss your
use case, and revise our plans accordingly.
* We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.51/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Version upgrade to 9.50
Highlights in this release include:
* The change to version 9.50 follows recognition
of the extent and importance of the file access control
redesign/reimplementation outlined below.
* The file access control capability (enable with -dSAFER)
has been completely rewritten, with a ground-up rethink
of the design. For more details, see: "SAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
* It is important to note that -dSAFER now only enables the
file access controls, and no longer applies restrictions
to standard Postscript functionality (specifically,
restrictions on setpagedevice). If your application relies
on these Postscript restrictions, see "OLDSAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#OldSafer
and please get in touch, as we do plan to remove those
Postscript restrictions unless we have reason not to.
IMPORTANT: File access controls are now enabled by default.
In order to run Ghostscript without these controls,
see "NOSAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#NoSafer
* We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* There are a couple of subtle incompatibilities between the old
and new SAFER implementations. Firstly, as mentioned above,
SAFER now leaves standard Postcript functionality unchanged
(except for the file access limitations). Secondly, the
interaction with save/restore operations, see "SAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
* The following is not strictly speaking new to 9.50,
as not much has changed since 9.27 in this area,
but for those who don't upgrade with every release:
The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have
removed only non-standard and undocumented operators.
Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities
that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators
may stop working, or may change behaviour.
If you encounter such a case, please contact us
(i.e. Ghostscript upstream, either the #ghostscript IRC channel
or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work
with you to either find an alternative solution or return the
previous functionality, if there is genuinely no other option.
One case we know this has occurred is GSView 5 (and earlier).
GSView 5 support for PDF files relied upon internal use only
features which are no longer available. GSView 5 will still
work as previously for Postscript files. For PDF files,
users are encouraged to look at MuPDF https://www.mupdf.com/

- Version upgrade to 9.27
Highlights in this release include:
* We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) have extensively cleaned up
the Postscript name space: removing access to internal and/or
undocumented Postscript operators, procedures and data.
This has benefits for security and maintainability.
Incompatible changes:
The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should
have removed only non-standard and undocumented operators.
Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or
utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented
operators may stop working, or may change behaviour.
If you encounter such a case, please contact us (i.e.
Ghostscript upstream) - (either the #ghostscript IRC channel,
or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work
with you to either find an alternative solution.
* Fontmap can now reference invidual fonts in a TrueType
Collection for font subsitution. Previously, a Fontmap entry
could only reference a TrueType collection and use the default
(first) font.
Now, the Fontmap syntax allows for specifying a specific index
in a TTC. See the comments at the top of (the default)
Fontmap.GS for details.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
IMPORTANT: It is our intention, within the next 12 months
(ideally sooner, in time for the next release) to make SAFER
the default mode of operation. For many users this will have
no effect, since they use SAFER explicitly, but some niche
uses which rely on SAFER being disabled may need to start
explicitly adding the "-dNOSAFER" option.
IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of
forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made
thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread
safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have
all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not
in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package
separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108027 bnc#1108027
Regarding what the above "should fix" means:
PostScript is a general purpose Turing-complete programming
language (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript)
that supports in particular file access on the system disk.
When Ghostscript processes PostScript it runs a PostScript
program as the user who runs Ghostscript.
When Ghostscript processes an arbitrary PostScript file,
the user who runs Ghostscript runs an arbitrary program
which can do anything on the system where Ghostscript runs
that this user is allowed to do on that system.
To make it safer when Ghostscript runs a PostScript program
the Ghostscript command line option '-dSAFER' disables
certain file access functionality, for details see
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.25/Use.htm
Its name 'SAFER' says everything: It makes it 'safer'
to let Ghostscript run a PostScript program,
but it does not make it completely safe.
In theory software is safe against misuse (i.e. has no bugs).
In practice there is an endless sequence of various kind of
security issues (i.e. software can be misused to do more than
what is intended) that get fixed issue by issue ad infinitum.
In the end all that means:
In practice the user who runs Ghostscript must not let it
process arbitrary PostScript files from untrusted origin.
In particular Ghostscript is usually run when printing
documents (with the '-dSAFER' option set), see the part about
"It is crucial to limit access to CUPS to trusted users" in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings
* Thu Sep 13 2018 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.25rc1 (first release candidate for 9.25).
Highlights in this release include:
* This release fixes problems with argument handling, some
unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file
access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files),
and some additional security issues over the 9.24 release.
* Security issues have been the primary focus of this release,
including solving several (well publicised) real
and potential exploits.
PLEASE NOTE:
We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade
to this latest release to avoid these issues.
* Avoid that ps2epsi fails with
'Error: /undefined in --setpagedevice--'
Recent changes required to harden SAFER mode mean that
it is no longer possible to run ps2epsi in SAFER mode,
because it relies upon unsafe Ghostscript non-standard
extension operators.
Removing SAFER and DELAYSAFER, and the code to reset SAFER,
allow ps2epsi to run as well as it ever did (ie badly).
This program (i.e. ps2epsi) should now be considered unsafe,
you should not use it on untrusted PostScript programs.
Likely we (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) will deprecate and
remove this program in future.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.

- Version upgrade to 9.24
Highlights in this release include:
* Security issues have been the primary focus of this release,
including solving several (well publicised)
real and potential exploits.
PLEASE NOTE:
We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade
to this latest release to avoid these issues.
* As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant
amount of work improving its robustness in the face of
out specification files.
* IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process
of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot
be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork
will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements
(these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream).
We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2
for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available

* Thu Mar 22 2018 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.23
Highlights in this release include:
* Ghostscript now has a family of 'pdfimage' devices
(pdfimage8, pdfimage24 and pdfimage32) which produce
rendered output wrapped up as an image in a PDF.
Additionally, there is a 'pclm' device which
produces PCLm format output.
* There is now a ColorAccuracy parameter allowing the user
to decide between speed or accuracy in ICC color transforms.
* JPEG Passthrough: devices which support it can now receive
the 'raw' JPEG stream from the interpreter.
The main use of this is the pdfwrite/ps2write family of devices
that can now take JPEG streams from the input file(s) and write
them unchanged to the output (thus avoiding additional
quantization effects).
* PDF transparency performance improvements
* IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process
of forking LittleCMS.
LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe
without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe,
and include performance enhancements (these changes have all
be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time,
but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own
package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
* We have continued the focus on code hygiene in this release
cleaning up security issues, ignored return values,
and compiler warnings.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes
* The planned device API tidy has, unfortunately, been
indefinitely postponed, until appropriate resources
are available.

* Fri Mar 16 2018 jsmeix@suse.de
- For now use lcms2 from SUSE because that is what currently
Ghostscript upstream recommends according to
https://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2018-March/010061.html
because since Ghostscript 9.23rc1 there is no longer lcms2
in Ghostscript but now it is lcms2art which is the beginning
of a lcms2 fork, see News.htm that reads in particular
"LCMS2 is not thread safe ... Our fork will be thread safe ...
We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2
for a time, but not in perpetuity", see also
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c14
- On SLE11 and on SLE12-SP1 there is liblcms2-2-2.5
which is too old so that configure fails there with
configure: error: lcms2 not found, or too old
but there is no configure option to build it without lcms2
so that for SLE11 and SLE12-SP1 it is built with
the lcms2art in Ghostscript.
- ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because it only
contained a fix for lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h in Ghostscript
but currently lcms2 from SUSE is used instead (see above).
- Do no longer require any fonts packages in particular
neither require ghostscript-fonts-std because the PostScript
Base35 fonts are provided by Ghostscript (in 'Resource')
nor require ghostscript-fonts-other (provides Bitream Charter,
Adobe Utopia, URW Antiqua, URW Grotesq and Hershey fonts where
all but the last are also provided by texlive-<name>-fonts) and
those fonts are not required for PostScript compliance, see
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c13
* Thu Mar 15 2018 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.23rc1 (first release candidate for 9.23).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates)
from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing"
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
- Adapted ppc64le-support.patch: In Ghostscript 9.23 there is now
lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h (instead of lcms2/include/lcms2.h).
- ghostscript-fix-debug-use.patch is no longer needed
because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources.
- fix_ln_docdir_gsdatadir.patch avoids
"base/unixinst.mak:162: recipe for target 'install-doc' failed"
- Adapted spec file to the new Ghostscript upstream documentation
directory /usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.23/
* Wed Feb 28 2018 stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de
- Use -p /sbin/ldconfig instead of shell post(un) scriptlet, drop
explicit Prereq for ldconfig
- Use shared libgs library for gs binary instead of static linked
version
- Use --disable-compile-inits, to allow unbundling of Resource files
- Remove --disable-omni switch, has been removed in GS 9.20
- Keep patch ordering in full/mini consistent
- Remove patch backup files to avoid packaging
* Tue Feb 27 2018 novell@mirell.de
- Add ghostscript-fix-debug-use.patch from upstream to fix broken
printing with some drivers (especially Dell Printers) from
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698837
- Fix build for SLE targets
* Wed Nov 29 2017 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.22.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Highlights in this release include:
* Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite
device) PDF 2.0 compliant files.
* The main focus of this release has been security and code
cleanliness. Hence many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and
Coverity issues have been addressed.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes
* The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for
this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend
to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up
the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs
(methods/function pointers) and change the device API
so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter
(rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs
take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice
to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the
canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need
to update your device(s) when these changes happen.
Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be
trivial to update.
- Up to 9.22rc1 it "just built" for all openSUSE versions but
since 9.22rc2 the libijs part does no longer buid for any
released openSUSE version where if fails with messages like
libtool: Version mismatch error.
This is libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2, but the
definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.2.
You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from
libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2 and run autoconf again.
Makefile: recipe for target 'ijs.lo' failed
so that currently it only builds for Tumbleweed/Factory.
Presumably it is not too complicated to make it build again
also for released openSUSE versions but currently I have
less than zero energy to fix such "latest breaking changes"
so that for now Ghostscript 9.22 is only provided for
openSUSE Tumbleweed/Factory and the upcoming SLE15/Leap15.

(bsc#1032114)
* Mon Apr 10 2017 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.21.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Highlights in this release include:
* pdfwrite now preserves annotations from
input PDFs (where possible).
* The GhostXPS interpreter now provides the pdfwrite device
with the data it requires to emit a ToUnicode CMap: thus
allowing fully searchable PDFs to be created from XPS
input (in the vast majority of cases).
* Ghostscript now allows the default color space
for PDF transparency blends.
* The Ghostscript/GhostPDL configure script now has much
better/fuller support for cross compiling.
* The tiffscaled and tiffscaled4 devices can now
use ETS (Even Tone Screening)
* The toolbin/pdf_info.ps utility can now emit
the PDF XML metadata.
* Ghostscript has a new scan converter available
(currently optional, but will become the default in a near
future release). It can be enabled by using the command line
option: '-dSCANCONVERTERTYPE=2'. This new implementation
provides vastly improved performance with large and complex
paths.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for
this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend
to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up
the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device
procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API
so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter
(rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs
take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice
to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the
canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to
update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using
only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.
- CVE-2016-7976.patch and CVE-2016-7977.patch and
CVE-2016-7978.patch and CVE-2016-7979.patch and
CVE-2016-8602.patch are no longer needed because
those issues are fixed in the upstream sources.
- 0001-mkromfs-make-build-reproducible-use-buildtime-from-S.patch
and
0002-mkromfs-sort-gp_enumerate_files-output-for-determini.patch
are no longer needed because both are included
in the upstream sources, see the upstream issue
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697484
- Again use the zlib sources from Ghostscript upstream
and disable remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch because
Ghostscript 9.21 does no longer build this way,
cf. the entry below dated "Wed Nov 18 11:46:58 UTC 2015"
* Thu Jan 12 2017 stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de
- Set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH based on changelog head
- Add 0001-mkromfs-make-build-reproducible-use-buildtime-from-S.patch
* Use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for mkromfs output for reproducible build
- Add 0002-mkromfs-sort-gp_enumerate_files-output-for-determini.patch
* Sort ROM contents for deterministic output

(bsc#1004237).
* Thu Sep 29 2016 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.20. Purely a maintenance release.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Highlights in this release include:
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* The planned device API tidy did not happen for this release,
due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the
following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API.
We intend to remove deprecated device procs
(methods/function pointers) and change the device API
so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather
than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an
imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone
maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source
tree that you may (probably will) need to update your
device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only
the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.
* Thu Sep 15 2016 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.20rc1 (first release candidate for 9.20).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates)
from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing"
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
* Wed Mar 23 2016 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.19. Mainly a maintenance release.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Highlights in this release include:
* Metadata pdfmark is now implemented. This allows the user
to specify an XMP stream which will be written to the
Catalog of the PDF file. A new pdfmark 'Ext_Metadata' has
been defined. This takes a string parameter which contains
XML to be add to the XMP normally created by pdfwrite.
See "pdfwrite pdfmark extensions" for more information.
* An experimental, rudimentary raster trapping implementation
has been added to the Ghostscript graphics library.
See "Trapping" for details.
Incompatible changes:
* (Minor) API change: copy_alpha now supports 8 bit depth
(as well as the previous 2 and 4).
* The gs man pages are woefully out of date and basically
unmaintained. With the release following 9.19, we intend
to replace their contents with a very limited summary
of (unlikely to ever change aspects of) calling
Ghostscript, and a pointer to the (maintained) HTML
documentation. That is, unless a volunteer is willing
to update, and commit to maintaining the man pages.
* ijs-config is no longer provided
Planned incompatible changes:
* We plan (ideally for the release following 9.19) to somewhat
tidy up the device API. We plan to remove deprecated device
procs (methods/function pointers). We also intend to merge
the imager state and graphics state (thus eliminating the
imager state), and change the device API so every device proc
takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current
scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state
parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining
a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that
you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when
these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated
procs should be trivial to update.
- fix_make_install.patch fixes and
add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch are no longer needed
because both issues are fixed in the upstream sources.
* Fri Mar 18 2016 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.19rc1 (first release candidate for 9.19).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates)
from the openSUSE build service development project "Printing"
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
- ijs-config is no longer provided
- fix_make_install.patch fixes an install error and
add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch fixes an autoconf error
see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696665
- fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch is no longer
needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
- install_gserrors.h.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed
in the upstream sources.
* Wed Nov 18 2015 schwab@suse.de
- Do not use library sources for freetype jpeg libpng tiff zlib
from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because we prefer to use
for long-established standard libraries the ones from SUSE
in particular to automatically get SUSE security updates
for standard libraries.
In contrast we use e.g. lcms2 from the Ghostscript upstream
tarball because this one is specially modified to work with
Ghostscript so that we cannot use lcms2 from SUSE.
- remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch removes dependency on zlib/zlib.h
in makefiles as we do not use the zlib sources from the
Ghostscript upstream tarball.
* Thu Nov 05 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- An incompatible change appeared when building other software
with Ghostscript 9.18.
Since version 9.18 Ghostscript does no longer provide
e_<SomeError> (e.g. e_NeedInput) in its header files
(gserrors.h and ierrors.h).
When building other software with Ghostscript 9.18
gs_error_<SomeError> (e.g. gs_error_NeedInput)
must be used, see boo#953149 and
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696317
* Fri Oct 30 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- install_gserrors.h.patch installs gserrors.h to fix
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696301
because without gserrors.h several other packages fail to build
(in particular texlive, libspectre, gimp,...).
* Mon Oct 12 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch
fixes the Ghostscript device ijs and the x11* devices
so that they also work when -dFirstPage/-dLastPage is used,
see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696246
* Tue Oct 06 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.18. A maintenance release.
There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing).
Highlights in this release include:
* A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL
directory structure. Ghostscript-only users should
not be affected by this change.
* A new method of internally inserting devices into the device
chain has been developed, named "device subclassing".
This allows suitably written devices to be more easily and
consistently as "filter" devices.
The first fruit of this is a new implementation of
the "-dFirstPage"/"-dLastPage" feature which functions
a device filter in the Ghostscript graphics library, meaning
it works consistently with all input languages.
* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.

- CVE-2015-3228.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed
in the upstream sources.
- assign_pointer_not_value_in_gximono.c.patch attempts to fix a
"assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast" compiler
warning by assigning the pointer and not the integer value.
- Removed --disable-compile-inits from configure, see
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696223
and "Precompiled run-time data" in
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/doc/Make.htm
* Wed Jul 29 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- CVE-2015-3228.patch fixes out of bound read/write cause
by integer overflow in gsmalloc.c (boo#939342).
* Tue Mar 31 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.16. Primarily a maintenance release.
There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing).
Highlights in this release include:
* "LockColorants" command line option for tiffsep and psdcmyk
devices.
* Improved high level devices handling of Forms.
See http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.16/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- fix.including.pread.pwrite.pthread_mutexattr_settype.diff
is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
* Wed Mar 25 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- fix.including.pread.pwrite.pthread_mutexattr_settype.diff
fixes on SLE11 implicit declaration of function warnings
for 'pread' 'pwrite' 'pthread_mutexattr_settype' see
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695882
- ppc64le-support.patch is a remainder of the previous patch
now the hunk for LCMS (lcms/include/lcms.h) is removed
because LCMS 1.x is removed since Ghostscript 9.16
but the hunk for LCMS2 (lcms2/include/lcms2.h) is still needed
see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695544
* Fri Mar 20 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.16rc2 (second release candidate for 9.16).

* Fri Mar 20 2015 jsmeix@suse.de
- For SLE12 build it with traditional CUPS 1.5.4 to ensure
it works on SLE12 both with CUPS 1.7.5 and CUPS 1.5.4.
* Sun Sep 28 2014 ro@suse.de
- readd ppc64le patch ppc64le-support.patch (adapted for lcms2 in
Ghostscript version 9.15): the tests in lcms2.h cannot work
without "include <endian.h>" that is now added and
regardless that lcms is not used by default (unless the
configure option --with-lcms is set), lcms is again fixed
(see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695544).
* Tue Sep 23 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.15. Primarily a maintenance release.
There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing).
Highlights in this release include:
* Ghostscript now supports the PDF security handler revision 6.
* 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 -dNoOutputFonts command line option (defaults to "false").
* 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"). Note that this is only accurate when in
clist mode, so -dMaxBitmap=0 and -dGrayDetection=true should
both be used.
* The pdfwrite device now supports Link annotations with GoTo
and GoToR actions.
* The pdfwrite device now supports BMC/BDC/EMC pdfmarks
* 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. To reiterate, also, with the new color
management implementation, using the UseCIEColor option is
strongly discouraged. For further information on the new
pdfwrite color management, see in Ps2pdf.htm the
"Color Conversion and Management" section.
* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
* Wed Sep 17 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.15rc2 (second release candidate for 9.15).
Ghostscript upstream QA highlighted a couple of issues
that they felt warranted a fresh release candidate.
For details see the History9.htm file.
* Tue Sep 09 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.15rc1 (first release candidate for 9.15).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because
it is fixed in the upstream sources.
- Removed trailing whitespaces in spec file and changes file.
* Mon Aug 18 2014 meissner@suse.com
- gs does not seem to require libopenssl-devel for building.
* Thu Mar 27 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.14. Primarily a maintenance release.
Highlights in this release include (excerpt):
* pdfwrite now uses the same color management engine as
Ghostscript rendering devices (by default LCMS2). For
the duration of this release a new switch -dPDFUseOldCMS
is available which will restore the old color management.
See: "Color Conversion and Management" in Ps2pdf.htm
Due to constraints of the PDF/A-1 specification, the new color
management does not yet apply when producing PDF/A files.
* A new device 'eps2write' has been added which allows for the
creation of EPS files using the ps2write device instead of
the deprecated and removed pswrite device. The epswrite device
is now also deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
* Ghostscript has a new "pwgraster" output device for PWG Raster
output.
* The CUPS device now has improved support for PPD-less printing.
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
* Fri Dec 13 2013 uweigand@de.ibm.com
- ppc64le-support.patch from IBM fixes endianness
in lcms (the Little-CMS library) to support the new
architecture ppc64le (IBM Power PC Little Endian architecture)
because ppc64 is big-endian and ppc64le is little-endian
and lcms has a hard-coded check that assumes PowerPC
is always big-endian which is incorrect on ppc64le.
The fix is already in the main Little-CMS repository
by this Git commit
https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/commit/b4f5c91a2c1582bd284f0d0f49cb43e2c2235a79
(There are some cosmetic changes in the upstream patch.)
It is not yet in the imported copy in Ghostscript.
IBM will work with upstream to get the fix imported too.
* Tue Sep 03 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.10. Primarily a maintenance release.
Highlights in this release include:
* LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the
latest versions.
* The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the
latest version, fixing many compatibility problems
with the Adobe fonts.
* The CUPS filters gstoraster and gstopxl have been
removed from Ghostscript. Those filters are now provided by
cups-filters (a free software package hosted by OpenPrinting)
that contains all CUPS filters needed by CUPS under Linux
(see also the openSUSE issue bnc#735404 comment#44 at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c44).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- fix-undefined-operation.patch is no longer needed because
it is fixed in the upstream sources.
* Thu Aug 29 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.10rc1 (release candidate for the 9.10 version).
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Prepare spec files to build both releases and release candidates
easily in the future by using special different version strings.
- fix-undefined-operation.patch fixes
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694546
- Removed BuildRequires for liblcms-devel because it is not needed
when we build Ghostscript that works in compliance with upstream
(see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828751#c5).
* Wed Mar 27 2013 mmeister@suse.com
- Added url as source.
Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
* Tue Feb 19 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.07.
* As of this release (9.07), Ghostscript is distributed
under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL).
* Ghostscript has been extended to support file sizes >4Gb
in particular reading and writing PDF files.
* Color management enhancements. Full details of the color
management features can be found in: GS9_Color_Management.pdf
* The pdfwrite devices now supports linearized (or optimized
for fast web view) output directly ("-dFastWebView").
* With the addition of linearisation to pdfwrite, pdfopt.ps
has become redundant. Since it is difficult to maintain,
has a number of bugs, and is believed not to work properly
anyway, it is removed. Accordingly the pdfopt shell script
that used pdfopt.ps is also removed.
* Thu Jan 03 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Provide libijs (that is not done via "configure --with-ijs")
because libijs is needed by the pdftoijs filter in the
cups-filters package (see the README file in cups-filters).
* Thu Sep 27 2012 mmeister@suse.com
- Version upgrade to 9.06. Mainly a bugfix release.
* pdfwrite announcements:
pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files.
For further details see the NEWS file.
* removed moribund dumphint tool, see History9.htm and
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693223
* Mon Sep 24 2012 idonmez@suse.com
- "export SUSE_ASNEEDED=0" disables -Wl,--as-needed linker flags,
see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693100
* Thu May 10 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Require Ghostscript's font packages because the
Ghostscript package provides the "Fontmap" file
/usr/share/ghostscript/<version>/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS
which lists Ghostscript's fonts but the fonts itself
are provided in the separated packages ghostscript-fonts-std
and ghostscript-fonts-other so that a RPM requirement
is needed to make sure that Ghostscript has its fonts.
- Extract the catalog of devices which are actually built-in
in exactly this Ghostscript and provide it as catalog.devices
in the Ghostscript package.
* Fri Apr 27 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- BuildRequires dbus-1-devel for "configure --enable-dbus"
to have colord support in gstoraster (see the entry regarding
"color management daemon" in doc/History9.htm).
* Tue Apr 24 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Install documentation which is not installed by default
(LICENSE doc/AUTHORS doc/COPYING doc/thirdparty.htm
doc/WhatIsGS.htm doc/GS9_Color_Management.pdf
doc/gs-vms.hlp doc/Ps2ps2.htm).
- Add a link from SUSE's usual documentation directory
(/usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/) to Ghostscript's
documentation directory (/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/doc/)
because "configure --docdir=..." does not work.
* Thu Apr 05 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed BuildRequires docbook-toys which is not needed
(db2ps and db2pdf called in ijs/Makefile.am to make ijs_spec.ps
and ijs_spec.pdf but neither of them is made - both are
provided in the sources) but docbook-toys pulls in packages
like texlive-bin-jadetex and texlive-jadetex which needlessly
blow up the build system.
* Wed Mar 28 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Require the basic fonts for Ghostscript
(package ghostscript-fonts-std) and recommend the
optional fonts (package ghostscript-fonts-other).
* Fri Mar 23 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Cleaned up BuildRequires.
- Added ghostscript-mini.spec with minimal BuildRequires.
- Explicitly specify configure --with-* versus --without-*
in ghostscript.spec versus ghostscript-mini.spec
to make the differences clear.
* Fri Mar 16 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Unfortunately ghostscript-library.spec and ghostscript-mini.spec
have unversioned "Provides: ghostscript" and for RPM this means
that both ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini
provide any version of ghostscript. Therefore any non-matching
version of ghostscript-library and ghostscript-mini fulfill
any RPM requirement for ghostscript in the ghostscript-x11
and ghostscript-devel sub-packages which is wrong.
Therefore explicit conflicts with ghostscript-library and
ghostscript-mini are specified in the ghostscript-x11
and ghostscript-devel sub-packages to avoid the mess.
* Thu Mar 15 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Configure --without-libpaper disables libpaper support
because SUSE does not have libpaper.
* Thu Mar 15 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Configure --without-jasper and --enable-openjpeg because
since Ghostscript 9.05 JasPer is deprecated and Ghostscript
now ships modified OpenJPEG sources for JPEG2000 decoding
(replacing JasPer). Performance, reliability and memory use
whilst decoding JPX streams are all improved. Accordingly
the BuildRequires libjasper-devel is removed.
- Configure --without-ufst and --without-luratech because
those are relevant to commercial releases only
which would require a commercial license.
- Added BuildRequires libtool which requires automake and
automake requires autoconf to fix build requirements
for openSUSE:Factory.
* Fri Feb 24 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Using fixed /usr/lib/cups/filter (no lib64) because CUPS
in the Printing project uses it in any case.
* Fri Feb 24 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Adapt RPM dependencies to what is actually used
in openSUSE:Factory (dated 22 Feb. 2012).
* Thu Feb 16 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Added RPM dependencies to make sure ghostscript-x11 and the
main-package have exact matching version-release because both
could have any kind of Ghostscript-internal dependencies.
This is only an approximation to have ghostscript-x11 and
the main-package from the same build where the main-package
and its sub-package have been made but currently there is
no clean way to specify a 'same build' RPM dependency.
Therefore currently ghostscript-x11 and the main-package could
have same version-release but nevertheless come from different
projects/repositories (e.g. with different patches or
whatever kind of differences).
* Wed Feb 15 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Split files which require X11 stuff into a ghostscript-x11
sub-package (currently only /usr/lib/ghostscript/9.05/X11.so)
so that the ghostscript package can be installed without X11.
* Thu Feb 09 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
- Upgrade to version 9.05 (see bnc#735824):
New simple ink-coverage device (inkconv).
The ps2write device has a large number of improvements.
Fixes and improvements for the CUPS Raster output device
(in particular Ghostscript bug 691922 regarding color model).
Renamed the PXL CUPS filter from "pstopxl" to "gstopxl".
For details see the doc/News.htm file.
- Removed "make cups" and "make cups-install" from spec file
using "configure ... --with-install-cups" instead
(new since version 9.04, see "configure --help").
* Tue Dec 13 2011 jw@suse.com
- Upgrade to version 9.04 (see bnc#735824):
For details see the doc/News.htm file.
- Added "make cups" and "make cups-install" to spec file.
* Tue Mar 15 2011 jsmeix@suse.de
- Initial ghostscript package.
/usr/lib64/ghostscript/10.04.0/X11.so
