New in this release is an experimental project file for Microsoft Visual Studio. This wraps the normal nmake build, and makes it easier for developers to get started building Ghostscript with that compiler. Support for tiff file output is now provided using the libtiff implementation rather than our more limited native code as in previous releases. There is also a new 'tiffsep1' output device which produces halftoned separations at 1 bit-per-pixel, in contrast to the 'tiffsep' device which produces 8 bit-per-pixel plates. Support for using FreeType as a type rasterizer has been greatly improved. We do not recommend its use as of this release, but it is much more functional than previously and our intent is that it will become the default in a future release. The graphics library has been updated to provide more accurate scan conversion of vector art including fixes to dash behavior, transparent stroked paths, thick stroked paths, radial shadings, xps cap handling, "pie" joins, degenerate beziers, improved handling of dropouts in thin strokes and better thin axis-aligned strokes.

These potential, not released yet, updates seem somewhat broken, the /usr/bin/gs executable cannot start, it just segfaults, so gv doesn't work. But programs like evince, using libgs, still work. The backtrace isn't helpful: #0 0x00000001 in ?? () $ file /usr/bin/gs /usr/bin/gs: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped The problem seems to be that /usr/bin/gs isn't even a proper executable file, it has ended up as a shared object, due to LDFLAGS changes in http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690695 .

Thanks, fixed packages built now. Didn't spot it because it worked fine on x86_64.
Err, ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686 is broken, but differently. The library has lost it's soname, the resulting packages require libgs.so but only provide libgs.so.8.71, so don't install due to failed dependencies.
Created attachment 395172 [details] Fixed LDFLAGS patch I think I've fixed it - some quotes were missing, so the arguments after "-shared" were getting dropped.
Created attachment 395186 [details] Fix pdf2dsc Also, gv can no longer display PDF files with ghostscript 8.71. Looks like copy_trailer_attrs got renamed to process_trailer_attrs, but one was missed.
