 Highlights in this release include:


* A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL directory
structure, meaning the GhostPCL and GhostXPS "products" are now built by
the Ghostscript build system "proper" rather than having their own
builds which called the Ghostscript build system for certain parts of
the builds.

    Ghostscript-only users should not be affected by this change.

    For users of the PCL and XPS interpreters (collectively downloaded
as "GhostPDL") there is a new, "flatter" directory structure and only
one configure and one make invocation to build all the products. There
are also some executable default name changes to bring the PCL and XPS
binaries in line with the Ghostscript ones. All executables now end up
in the "bin" directory (or build specific variant thereof, e.g.
"debugbin"). The PCL executable, by default, is now "gpcl6" on Unix like
systems and "gpcl6win??.exe" (where "??" is either "32" or "64"). The
XPS executable remains "gxps" on Unix-like systems, but similarly
becomes "gxpswin??.exe" on Windows.

    Those using scripts or other automated processes will need to take
steps to cope with these changes.


* 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.

    
* The "ghostpdl.inf" file, provided to simplify installing a
Postscript printer configure to produce output to suit Ghostscript's
"pdfwrite" device is now available as a digitally signed version:
"ghostpdl.cat".


* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
incremental improvements.

I will not be doing a rebase for F24, it's too late for that, but I will consider it for next (F25) rawhide.

NOTE: With luck, the ghostscript 9.20 will make it to Fedora 26.
