Version 1.0 1993-08-05
----------------------------
Saved media name in an array so it is available in write_profile().
Previously, closing gsview from the system menu would cause
write_profile() to be called twice, the second time after the
window and menu had been destroyed. Consequently the media
name could not be obtained from the non-existent menu.
Added command line option /S[port] to spool file (File | Print File).
This allows files dropped on the Print Manager to be sent
direct to a PostScript printer.
Changed default timeout to 5 minutes per page. This timeout
only affects printing. Timeout for displaying was dropped
in version 0.8 beta (when pipe code was changed).
Timeout for opening or closing Ghostscript is still 20 seconds.
Added "Safer" option to select Ghostscript -dSAFER flag which
disables the deletefile and renamefile operators, and the
ability to open files in any mode other than read-only.
The default is now "Safer".
Added %%EndImage before %%EndPreview of EPSI preview.
Changed default file extensions so that .ps indicates an ASCII
postscript file and .eps indicates a DOS EPS file with a
binary header and preview.
----------------------------
Version 0.8 beta 1993-07-07
----------------------------
DSC file is now closed after each page is displayed.
The file is reopened just before the next page is displayed and
if the file length or date stamp have changed, gswin is killed
and the file rescanned. Version 0.7 kept DSC files open which
caused problems if another program changed the file.
Documented that gsview produces TIFF 5.0 Class B images.
Added a menu option for creating a TIFF 4.0 preview for
Word Perfect 5.1 which requires a narrow minded interpretation
of the TIFF 4.0 specification.
Moved imitation pipe code to a separate module.
Changed implementation of imitation pipe. Instead of creating
many temporary files, gsview now keeps a single read/write file open.
When gsview writes to the imitation pipe the data is written to this file.
When the pipe is flushed gsview reads the file and passes it to gswin
in global memory blocks. When gswin asks for data and there is no more
to give, gsview resets the file.
If a file is specified on the gsview command line do not use the
saved directory. If a path to the file is given, use it as the
current directory, otherwise use the gsview working directory.
To stop documents that change the paper size from interfering with
gsview's orientation commands, gsview now adds paper size commands
(e.g. letter, a4) to the userdict to replace those in the systemdict.
Generate error if user attempts to overwrite open document file.

Version 0.7 beta 1993-05-10
----------------------------
First general release of Ghostview for Windows.
