Ghostscript 8.11 is the first stable release since 8.00, building on the features in the 8.10 beta, and with numerous additional fixes and improvements. In particular, font rendering is greatly improved (thanks to Igor Melichev's new hinting code), PDF 1.4 transparency rendering is much more likely to be correct, and there is better support for CID font substitution. Processing of incorrect and broken PDF files is also improved, including files corrupted xref tables and non-ASCII font names. Many other smaller fixes are included.
Users may want to experiment with the new -dAlignToPixels=0 setting, which enables subpixel positioning for antialiased font rendering.
The following bugs.ghostscript.com numbers were open at the time of this release:

The mechanism for locating resources has changed since 8.00. See the usage documentation for details of the new mechanism.
Ghostscript now runs in save level 1 by default, which has changed since 8.10. Jobservers will need to use the -dNOOUTERSAVE option to restore the old behavior.

Cleans up the behavior of the .tempfile operator, primarily making it consistent across all the platforms, ensuring that the TMPDIR and TEMP environment variables are effective, the system temp directory is used when these are not specified, and the permissions for tempfile creation work as expected (allowed in the simple case, but closing off potential vulnerabilities in other cases.

Adjust internal string lengths to allow for long path/filenames such as for Resource paths. OS limits may be shorter than the 8192 length allowed for after this changes, but now interpreter internals won't cause a failure. Customer 590 found this with a long GenericResourceDir.

Add a utility to create a Fontmap format file after forcing a scan of all FONTPATH directories.

Record that .buildnativefontmap has been run even if .getnativefonts returns false (unimplemented). This was causing an endless loop if a font was not found as dofindfont tried to call the native font enumeration code over and over.[lib/gs_fonts.ps 1.38]

Fix security issue with .setnativefontmapbuilt. Procedures that change the systemdict must be execute-only so the .forceput cannot be extracted and used to change other parameters. Thanks to Russell Lang for this.[lib/gs_fonts.ps 1.37]
Since globaldict isn't always available and userdict is subject to save/restore, keep /.nativefontmapbuilt in systemdict, with an accompanying procedure to set its value since systemdict is read-only from the normal runlevel.[lib/gs_fonts.ps 1.36]
Record whether the .buildnativefontmap has been run as a boolean under the key /.nativefontmapbuilt in userdict, instead of the array hack used previously. A better choice would be globaldict which is less susceptible to save/restore but this is a language level 2 feature and not defined with gs_fonts.ps is run.[lib/gs_fonts.ps 1.35]

Enable native font enumeration by default. This change also corrects some flaws in the search logic.

However, it can still be run manually to update the in-memory Fontmap.[lib/gs_fonts.ps 1.34]
More transparency fixes: fix broken remapping of Separation and DeviceN colorspaces in PDF 1.4 mode. Convert background color for soft mask groups to DeviceGray colorspace using PostScript code (currentgray).[lib/pdf_draw.ps 1.72, src/gdevp14.c 1.17, src/ztrans.c 1.20]

Speed up native font enumeration on MacOS by caching the results of parsing the FOND resource table. Also return paths of the from '%macresource%path:to:file#POST' for resource files without FOND tables, on the assumption these are LWFN files. The font loading machinery doesn't yet support such paths, and they are simply skipped without being added to the in-memory font map.[src/gp_macio.c 1.27]

Fix for 686927 Bug in implementation of .hsb2rgb (gs_cspace.ps). This is a bug report, fix, and a test file from Heiko Oberdiek. I love it when the bug reporter also includes an analysis, a fix and a test file. The problem was an error in the calculations for an HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) color to RGB when the hue was 1. The only change that I made in Heiko's fix was to change a few more comments.[lib/gs_cspace.ps 1.6]
PDF fonts can have different widths assigned to character codes corresponding to the same glyph. There is no equivalent feature in PostScript.

A pair of fixes for Bug 686791 Device bitcmyk produces wrong output The bitcmyk device produce the wrong output if GrayValues=8. In this case the pixel size is 32 bits. The encode_color procedure was sign extending the MSB into the upper 32 bits of 64 bit gx_color_indexes. The fix in gdevbit.c prevents this from happening. The fix in gdevm32.c makes it so that it does not matter. I am including both for completeness. The bitcmyk device should not produce garbage in the remaining bits. Thus the first fix. However there may be other devices with this problem so I am including the fix in gdevm32.c. There was a recent report from an AIX system with a similar problem[src/gdevbit.c 1.7, src/gdevm32.c 1.5]

Bump version number after the 8.10 release.[doc/News.htm 1.130, lib/gs_init.ps 1.91, src/gscdef.c 1.36, src/version.mak 1.63]
The 8.10 release is an incremental release from 8.00. It contains some fairly substantial reworking of important modules, most notably in the font rendering. Because of the extent of the changes, we're labelling this as a beta release. It should be quite usable, but it hasn't been as thoroughly wrung out as our production releases.
The major new feature improved font rendering by Igor Melichev. The new font renderer prevents dropouts intelligently rather than relying on "fill_adjust" (which has the side effect of making the font bolder).
In addition, pdfwrite continues to evolve and improve. Most patterns and type 3 fonts are now output as high-level objects rather than being rasterized.
This is our first release with support for JBIG2 encoded images, using our jbig2dec library. This decoder is not yet complete, but successfully decodes many PDF files containing JBIG2 images.
This release also contains an important security fix. If you are using Ghostscript in a security-critical application, we recommend you upgrade now.
Finally, we include the usual bug fixes and improvements. Please exercise this release thoroughly, so we can make the next release rock-solid.

dumphint is a new utility to print (to stdout) linearized PDF hint tables in
an easy-to-read form. The following deviations from the published
specification has been observed in PDF files produced by Acrobat suite
of products.
(1) /P (page offset hint table) key in hint stream dictionary has never been
generated by Adobe products. It is no longer required in PDF 1.5.
(2) Per-page items 4 and 5 of the page offset hint table start from 1st
page, not 2nd page as the spec claims.
(3) All array entries start from the new byte boundary.

Initial commit of native MacOS font loading. This implements a %macresource% iodevice for retrieving data from the 'resource' structure associated with MacOS files, either directly from the resource fork, or from a serialized data fork resource file.

Correct a serious error in the bmp file padding method. Also convert all error output to stdout from stderr since we no longer output the diff image to stdout. Patch from Igor Melichev.
The code for writing the BMP header made assumptions about struct packing and was not portable. Replace the previous code with a method that writes fields one at a time. Also, since fseek() is reported not to work beyond the end of the written file, pad out the length of the image data section so we can fill in the rows in proper bottom-to-top order. Note that the bmp output code does not convert RGB to BGR; this is not critical as the output is only used for hilighting differences. Closes bug #686739.
