* New upstream release
   - Ghostscript 9.06 final release
   - PDF/A-2 - pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files. The
     'PDFA' command line switch can now take a numeric parameter:
       0 = not PDF/A compliant
       1 = PDF/A-1b compliant
       2 = PDF/A-2b compliant
     Simply specifying "-dPDFA" continues to have the old behaviour of
     creating PDF/A-1b files. For PDF/A-2 the command line should include
     "-dPDFA=2".
   - pdfwrite "Server mode" - pdfwrite can now be run in "server mode" which
     allows the device to be closed without closing the interpreter. This
     means it is no longer necessary to terminate GS before starting a new
     PDF conversion. This leads on to:
   - pdfwrite now supports the "%d" format in the OutputFile switch. If this
     is set then pdfwrite will output each page of input to an individual
     file.
   - ps2write - recent exposure to a range of PostScript devices has thrown
     up some interesting deficiencies in those devices. ps2write now emits
     PostScript in slightly different ways in order to produce output on a
     wider variety of devices. In some cases this also results in improved
     print times but it is still important to set the resolution
     appropriately for the output device, especially if the input contains
     transparency.
   - Ghostscript can now use output intents defined in PDFs by using the
     "-dUsePDFX3Profile" command line option. See ICC Color Parameters for
     details.
   - tiffsep/tiffsep1: support for large numbers of separations improved.
     The previous implementation of those devices utilised a "compressed
     color encoding" to represent the tints for all the plates in one 64 bit
     value. As the number of plates increased, fewer bits were available for
     the tint for each plate, ultimately resulting in an "unencodable pixels"
     error. These revisions remove the reliance on the compressed color
     encoding, thus ensuring that we have a consistent color bit depth,
     regardless of the number of plates, and ensuring the "unencodable
     pixels" error will never occur.
   - Also as a result of these changes, there are substantial performance
     improvements in jobs with separations and transparency.
   - tiffsep, psdcmyk and psdrgb now support the "downscaler" functionality.
     This brings the "tiffscaled" style functionality to the DeviceN output
     devices, so jobs can be rendered internally in contone and at a high
     resolution, and the output optionally downsampled by a level specified
     by "-dDownScaleFactor=n", and also optionally error diffused to 1bpp
     output.
   - clist storage, for rendering pages in bands, is now a run-time option:
     -sBandListStorage={file|memory}.
   - Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
     incremental improvements.
   - Using built-in libopenjpeg with security fixes for CVE-2009-5030,
     CVE-2012-1499, and CVE-2012-3358.
* debian/rules: Updated DEB_UPSTREAM_TARBALL_MD5
* debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
  which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.

* New source tarball repackaging
   - Do not remove libopenjpeg
* debian/rules: Build with libopenjpeg instead of libjasper. Use the
  libopenjpeg shipping with Ghostscript as this version has major fixes
  and adaptations which did not make it into upstream libopenjpeg.
  libjasper has major performance issues which the Jasper developers refuse
  to fix (Ghostscript upstream bug #692002).
* debian/control: Removed build dependency on lijasper-dev.

129. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-08-02

debian/control: Removed the libicc-dev build dependency again as
Ghostscript does not use libicc any more. The icclib directory in the
original source tarball was simply forgotten there.

* New upstream release
   - GIT snapshot from August, 1 2012.
   - Ghostscript 9.06rc1 + fix of shared object mode build of gsx executable.
* debian/patches/020120302~ceef323.patch,
  debian/patches/020120319~d6f83df.patch,
  debian/patches/020120329-be64563-pdfwrite-when-a-charstring-is-not-found-for-a-glyph-use-the-notdef-width-instead-of-0.patch,
  debian/patches/020120420~67a924e.patch,
  debian/patches/020120711-4f6b985-write-transparent-type2-pattern-color-to-clist.patch,
  debian/patches/020120720-01dc18e-ps2write-use-pfa-fonts.patch,
  debian/patches/1001_fix_manpage_typo.patch,
  debian/patches/1002_cms_typos.patch: Removed upstream patches.
* debian/patches/2001_docdir_fix_for_debian.patch,
  debian/patches/2002_gs_man_fix_debian.patch: Refreshed with quilt.
* debian/patches/2003_support_multiarch.patch: Updated manually to apply
  to the new Ghostscript source code.
* debian/control: Re-added build dependency on libicc-dev, it seems that
  it got lost by some Debian/Ubuntu merge.
* debian/rules: Added ./icclib/ directories to
  DEB_UPSTREAM_REPACKAGE_EXCLUDES and removed the files in Resource/CMap/,
  again, as the changes got lost with some Debian/Ubuntu merge.
* debian/rules: linked base/configure.ac and base/Makefile.in to package
  root directory so that the autotools find them (needed on GIT snapshots).
* debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
  which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.

127. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-07-21

debian/patches/020120720-01dc18e-ps2write-use-pfa-fonts.patch:
Embed fonts as PFA and not ASCII85-encoded PFB in the PostScript
output, some PostScript printers (Kyocera) cannot cope with the
latter (LP: #1025061).

126. By Michael Terry on 2012-07-12

* debian/control.in.in:
  - Update references to libtiff4-dev to libtiff5-dev

125. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-07-11

debian/patches/020120711-4f6b985-write-transparent-type2-pattern-color-to-clist.patch:
When using a clist, ensure that all the color space data for the
pattern gets written to the clist, *andthat the clist correctly
records all the relevant transparency data (LP: #1022516, upstream bug
#693176).
