- --text follows this line--
- Ghostscript 2.5.1 is now released. The main purpose of this release is
- to fix the bugs that found their way into 2.5 as a result of
- last-minute fixes. As usual, see readme.doc in the fileset for a
- somewhat more detailed list; see the NEWS file for a very detailed
- list. Note that only a subset of the available drivers and features
- are included in the PC executables distributed as GNU software: read
- the individual makefiles to find out which drivers and features are
- included in which executables.
-
- Ghostscript 2.5.1 may be obtained from the usual GNU distribution
- points. One good place to get it is
- ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/X/ghostscript-*2.5.1*. This is a 24-hour-access
- site that allows anonymous FTP and is not heavily loaded.
-
- Context diffs from Ghostscript 2.5 to 2.5.1 have been provided.
- Ghostscript 2.5 has been left on-line, as well as 2.4.1.
-
- Suggestions for what should go in Ghostscript 2.6 are more than
- welcome. The only new feature definitely scheduled for inclusion is
- the ability to use the platform's fonts (e.g., the X bitmap fonts) when
- possible. Leading candidates for other features are Type 0
- (Chinese/Japanese) font capability, the Level 2 'pattern' facility, and
- a major overhaul of the general rasterizing algorithm for increased
- performance. Please send suggestions directly to ghost@aladdin.com.
