Project/Component Working Name: Upgrade GPL Ghostscript to version 8.64 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Sonam Gupta 1.3 Date of This Document: 08 January, 2010 4. Technical Description Project Description: This project replaces ESP Ghostscript(version 8.15.4) with the latest version, now called GPL Ghostscript (version 8.64). Technical Description: Ghostscript (gs) is a set of software that provides: * An interpreter for the PostScriptTM language and the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF -- sometimes confused with Acrobat, Adobe's PDF browser and editor product); * Input modules (utilities) for reading a variety of raster formats, including CMYK, GIF, JFIF (JPEG), MIFF, PBM/PGM/PPM, and PCX; * Output modules (drivers) for a wide variety of window systems (including X Windows and Microsoft Windows), raster file formats, and printers, as well as a PDF output module that implements functions similar to Adobe's AcrobatTM DistillerTM product; and * The Ghostscript library, a set of procedures to implement the graphics and filtering capabilities that are primitive operations in the PostScript language and in PDF. This fasttrack will upgrade ESP Ghostscript(version 8.15.4) to GPL Ghostscript (version 8.64) As part of the upgrade to Ghostscript 8.64, we will be delivering the development interfaces, available in the Ghostscript distribution, for third party open source applications to be able to take advantage of. These interfaces are a required component of more recent desktop applications like Evince. This project's release binding is Patch.

Also, what researching on the web seems to indicate is that the ESP Ghostscript project has ceased, and been folded into GPL Ghostscript. - Garrett Daniel Hain wrote: > I'm submitting this fasttrack for Sonam Gupta to update the existing ESP > Ghostscript with the latest GPL Ghostscript.

The upgrade is required because of the following reasons: 1. A number of bugs addressed in esp-gs-8.15 have been being fixed in ghostscript-8.64 2. Evince needing libgs.so For this integration we need micro binding. Let me know if you have more questions.

No incompatibilities are introduced by this upgrade.

The upgrade is required because of the following reasons:
1. A number of bugs addressed in esp-gs-8.15 have been being fixed in ghostscript-8.64
2. Evince needing libgs.so

For this integration we need micro binding.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Regards,
Sonam

Also, what researching on the web seems to indicate is that the ESP Ghostscript project has ceased, and been folded into GPL Ghostscript.

Project Description:

This project replaces ESP Ghostscript(version 8.15.4) with the latest version, now called GPL Ghostscript (version 8.64).

Technical Description:

Ghostscript (gs) is a set of software that provides:

    * An interpreter for the PostScriptTM language and the Adobe
      Portable Document Format (PDF -- sometimes confused with Acrobat,
      Adobe's PDF browser and editor product);
    * Input modules (utilities) for reading a variety of raster formats,
      including CMYK, GIF, JFIF (JPEG), MIFF, PBM/PGM/PPM, and PCX;
    * Output modules (drivers) for a wide variety of window systems
      (including X Windows and Microsoft Windows), raster file formats,
      and printers, as well as a PDF output module that implements
      functions similar to Adobe's AcrobatTM DistillerTM product; and
    * The Ghostscript library, a set of procedures to implement the
      graphics and filtering capabilities that are primitive operations
      in the PostScript language and in PDF.

    This fasttrack will upgrade ESP Ghostscript(version 8.15.4) to
    GPL Ghostscript (version 8.64)

    As part of the upgrade to Ghostscript 8.64, we will be delivering the     development interfaces, available in the Ghostscript distribution,     for third party open source applications to be able to take advantage of.
    These interfaces are a required component of more recent desktop     applications like Evince.

    This project's release binding is Patch.
