Version 7.33 (2002-11-18)

The 7.33 release is the third, and hopefully final, beta in the series leading up to 8.0. This version contains a fix to the filename permissions logic.

The following SourceForge bug numbers were open at the time of this release: 405342, 407342, 414947, 414985, 446344, 458261, 458775, 458780, 459647, 465936, 484752, 484753, 487953, 493348, 505429, 510808, 526099, 526491, 530011, 535366, 535752, 535836, 538033, 539239, 546823, 554076, 558151, 558435, 563287, 569573, 570772, 573744, 578838, 578865, 584990, 592160, 592837, 592841, 592925, 592930, 595760, 596009, 598014, 600288, 601255, 601336, 601694, 602995, 603934, 605830, 607425, 607850, 610356, 610478, 610727, 611694, 611701, 611727, 611898, 612801, 614298, 615165, 616970, 616976, 617077, 617523, 621243, 621246, 623122, 623292, 623989, 624515, 625085, 626059, 626295, 626358, 626419, 2002-1, 626464, 627545, 628110, 629335, 631974, 633299, 634036, 634080, 634358, 634514, 636210, 637424, 637954, 638850, 640159.

Procedures

Fixes problems:
	- The '-r' option works differently between Info-Zip ans Winzip
"wzzip" Removal of this option allows wzzip to be used as well.
(winint.mak [1.17]: 2002/11/04 22:54:47 ray)

Utilities

Fixes problems:
	- Fix (FAPI) : Improving terminology in header comment to
lib/xlatmap . (lib/xlatmap [1.7]: 2002/11/02 18:03:06 igor)
	- remove the unused SYSTIME_H from the mac headers. Prefer "time_.h"
to <sys/time.h>. Although the Metroworks Standard Library doesn't have
a sys/time.h, keep the definition of HAVE_SYS_TIME_H for now to avoid a
multiple definition problem with struct timeval. (gp_mac.c [1.10]:
2002/11/14 16:55:21 giles)
	- correct an unitialized variable in the mac stream process.
(gp_macio.c [1.9]: 2002/11/14 17:12:53 giles)
	- Replace the previous gp_file_name_is_absolute with
gp_patshtring_not_bare which generally has the same sense, but is more
consistently implemented on platforms and indicates whether or not a
pathstring can be prefixed by a directory and the path_separator string.
Also, fix check_file_permissions to handle the 'bare' pathstring case when
the current directory is one of the permitted paths. Fixes SourceForge bug
#637751. (gp_iwatc.c [1.11], gp_macio.c [1.10], gp_mswin.c [1.14],
gp_ntfs.c [1.11], gp_os2.c [1.16], gp_vms.c [1.14]: 2002/11/17 22:50:32 ray)

Drivers

Fixes problems:
	- Make gdev_t4693d_map_color_rgb a functinal routine. Previously it
returned a constant maximum color value. This would cause problems with
overprint and anti-aliasing. (gdev4693.c [1.8]: 2002/11/13 19:34:56 dan)
	- Update the encode/decode color procedures when the device is
openned. This is required since the device can modify its model settings
inside the open procedure. (gdevstc.c [1.8]: 2002/11/13 19:39:12 dan)
	- Converted from old map_rgb and map_cmyk to new encode_color
routines. (gdevbit.c [1.6]: 2002/11/13 20:24:12 dan)
	- Define a decode_color proc for the cmyk devices.
(gdevcdj.c [1.13]: 2002/11/13 23:33:05 dan)
	- Convert old map_color_rgb routines to decode_color routines for
the stcolor device. Change required due to device API change.
(gdevstc.c [1.9]: 2002/11/14 20:48:47 dan)

Correct some display device map_color_rgb functions, needed for
anti-aliasing. (gdevdsp.c [1.13]: 2002/11/13 07:05:43 ghostgum)

Recorrect display device 4-bit native mode after a correction was reversed
by DeviceN. (gdevdsp.c [1.14]: 2002/11/13 07:24:03 ghostgum)

Remove duplicate call to GlobalLock in Windows printer device.
(gdevwpr2.c [1.14]: 2002/11/16 22:16:49 ghostgum)

PDF writer

Fixes problems:
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Implement a special check for CMaps which appear
to be identity, and replace them with a standard CMap name. Source Forge bug
"[ 615994 ] CMAP is corrupted". (gdevpdtc.c [1.11]: 2002/11/02 19:16:44
igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Removing gx_device_pdf_s::random_offset because
it is not longer in use. (gdevpdfx.h [1.55], gdevpdtb.c [1.10]: 2002/11/17
22:18:15 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Removing gx_device_pdf_s::random_offset because
it is not longer in use. (gdevpdf.c [1.56]: 2002/11/17 22:27:53 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Improving the condition about skipping paths
outside the clipping path. SourceForge bug "[ 628542 ] (pdfwrite) wrong
gs5.98-dragon.pdf". (gdevpdfd.c [1.21]: 2002/11/18 02:53:44 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : (1) FontMatrix.ty was ignored while computing
glyph positions. (2) Working around AR4,5 bug which ignores FontMatrix.ty .
SourceForge bug "[ 629961 ] (PDF interpeter) 'Ghost' text appears again".
(gdevpdtb.c [1.11], gdevpdtt.c [1.23]: 2002/11/18 03:05:22 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Skipping text outside clip path. SourceForge bug
"[ 608520 ] PDFWrite failed for PS File". (gdevpdfd.c [1.22],
gdevpdte.c [1.20]: 2002/11/18 14:29:54 igor)

PDF Interpreter

Fixes problems:
	- Fix for #609488 Problems in DeviceN test file. This resolves
problems that can occur if the transfer function are dependent upon the
halftone. (Which is true for the default hi res transfer function.) We were
getting variable (unpredictable) results due to the undefined ordering in
enumerating graphic state dictionaries via the 'forall' operator.
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.62]: 2002/11/05 00:48:01 dan)
	- resourcefont procedure didn't handle correctly font descriptor
without font stream. Bug #633714 (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.51]: 2002/11/14
21:22:22 alexcher)

Move code from pdfshowpage to pdfshowpage_finish for the benefit of GSview
which calls pdfshowpage_init and pdfshowpage_finish, but not
pdfshowpage_setpage. (lib/pdf_main.ps [1.63]: 2002/11/05 20:56:02 ghostgum)

Interpreter

Fixes problems:
	- Eliminate possible negative discontinuity in default hi resolution
transfer function. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.71]: 2002/11/05 00:30:59 dan)
	- The 'bind def' was dropped from the previous commit: Fix:
Eliminate possible negative discontinuity in default hi resolution transfer
function. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.72]: 2002/11/05 08:02:17 dan)
	- When processing an EPS file, remove any left over items on the
operand and dictionary stacks. (lib/gs_epsf.ps [1.8]: 2002/11/12 20:31:30
ghostgum)
	- Use immediate evaluation for forcesetcolorspace operator because
its definition goes out of scope when bind is delayed or disabled. Bug
#635747 (lib/gs_devn.ps [1.3], lib/gs_indxd.ps [1.2], lib/gs_patrn.ps [1.2],
lib/gs_sepr.ps [1.2]: 2002/11/13 20:23:10 alexcher)
	- Skip /ColorValues processing for devices where it is not defined
(typically grayscale devices). Fixes SF bug #636213. (lib/gs_dps.ps [1.8]:
2002/11/14 17:24:00 raph)
	- Restore silent clip of sethsbcolor values to range [0..1].
(lib/gs_cspace.ps [1.4]: 2002/11/15 18:10:24 raph)
	- Replace the previous gp_file_name_is_absolute with
gp_patshtring_not_bare which generally has the same sense, but is more
consistently implemented on platforms and indicates whether or not a
pathstring can be prefixed by a directory and the path_separator string.
Also, fix check_file_permissions to handle the 'bare' pathstring case when
the current directory is one of the permitted paths. Fixes SourceForge bug
#637751. (lib/gs_fapi.ps [1.17], zfile.c [1.23]: 2002/11/17 22:50:32 ray)
	- check_file_permissions did not handle the case where no path
separator is needed after the current_directory_name. PostScript code in
.locksafe (in gs_init.ps) was already correct. Problem would happen on Mac
& VMS. (zfile.c [1.24]: 2002/11/18 17:17:20 ray)
	- Correcting mixed DOS/UNIX line ends introduced in the previous
version. (zcolor.c [1.14]: 2002/11/18 19:14:57 alexcher)
	- FrameMaker produces PS file that assumes that the presence of
/pdfmark in systemdict implies availability of /currentdistillerparams. The
fix hides /pdfmark for all devices except pdfwrite following
set/currentdistillerparams pattern. Bug #638982 (lib/gs_pdfwr.ps [1.21]:
2002/11/18 19:36:57 alexcher)

Modified the setdevice procedure to reset the current halftone (if possible)
when changing devices. This is necessary in the DeviceN code because the
number of device halftone components must be the same as the number of
device color model components. It is also generally a good idea.
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.70]: 2002/11/05 00:10:37 dan)

Post-release cleanup for 7.32: increment version number to 7.33.
(lib/gs_init.ps [1.73]: 2002/11/05 08:31:56 raph)

Correct -dEPSFitPage when the device has non-zero margins.
(lib/gs_epsf.ps [1.7]: 2002/11/07 07:14:28 ghostgum)

Correct some display device map_color_rgb functions, needed for
anti-aliasing. (gdevdsp.h [1.6]: 2002/11/13 07:05:43 ghostgum)

Prevent access to .forceput and friends. Patch by Alex Cherepanov and
Russell Lang. (lib/gs_diskn.ps [1.4], lib/gs_epsf.ps [1.9],
lib/gs_fonts.ps [1.23], lib/gs_res.ps [1.26], lib/gs_resmp.ps [1.6],
lib/gs_type1.ps [1.13]: 2002/11/18 20:23:18 ghostgum)

Streams

Fixes problems:
	- Make init method for ASCII85Encode return 0. Fixes SF #634519.
(sa85x.h [1.6]: 2002/11/13 08:23:13 raph)

Library

Fixes problems:
	- param_check_string now checks is_valid before trying to calculate
the length of the string in question. We now handle a null
color_info.cm_name in all cases. (gsdparam.c [1.12]: 2002/11/02 17:22:29
giles)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Implement a special check for CMaps which appear
to be identity, and replace them with a standard CMap name. Source Forge bug
"[ 615994 ] CMAP is corrupted". (gdevpsf.h [1.21], gdevpsfm.c [1.11]:
2002/11/02 19:16:44 igor)
	- Fixing the "members" logic in gs_type1_glyph_info. Arithmetic
operations were erroneously used instead logic ones, sometimes causing a
request of undefined features. Source Forge bug "[ 629116 ] Bad font in
re-distilled PDF". (gxtype1.c [1.20]: 2002/11/02 20:07:46 igor)
	- These are a set of fixes required to make the 2 bit memory device
functional. They are being lumped together since they are all required. The
fix in gdevm2.c was found by customer #760 and is reported as bug #600281
mem_mapped2_copy_mono() incorrect. (gdevm2.c [1.5], gxcht.c [1.11]:
2002/11/05 01:03:14 dan)
	- Make some debug warning messages only occur for DEBUG build. The
most common offender seen was "No encode_color proc defined for device."
(gxcmap.c [1.12]: 2002/11/05 19:13:52 dan)
	- Define color encode/decode procedures for the nullpage and null
devices. This eliminates a "No encode color proc defined" message for these
devices. (gdevnfwd.c [1.8]: 2002/11/13 06:00:29 dan)
	- Change the substitution logic for the decode_color procedure. This
change gives preference to the map_color_rgb proc (if it exists) and the
device is an RGB device. The previous logic gave preference to
gx_default_decode_color if the device was linear and separable.
(gdevdflt.c [1.10]: 2002/11/13 19:31:28 dan)
	- Fix uninitialized memory read; gx_set_device_color_1(pgs) depends
on the value of pg->in_cachedevice, so move up initialization of the
latter. (gsstate.c [1.19]: 2002/11/13 21:51:34 raph)
	- Replace the previous gp_file_name_is_absolute with
gp_patshtring_not_bare which generally has the same sense, but is more
consistently implemented on platforms and indicates whether or not a
pathstring can be prefixed by a directory and the path_separator string.
Also, fix check_file_permissions to handle the 'bare' pathstring case when
the current directory is one of the permitted paths. Fixes SourceForge bug
#637751. (gp.h [1.13], gp_dosfs.c [1.6], gp_unifn.c [1.6],
gp_unifs.c [1.10]: 2002/11/17 22:50:32 ray)

Post-release cleanup for 7.32: increment version number to 7.33.
(gscdef.c [1.30]: 2002/11/05 08:31:56 raph)

Suppress the "No encode color proc" warning for the "null" device (a
forwarding device) where it is expected and acceptable. (gxcmap.c [1.13]:
2002/11/06 23:11:17 ray)

First commit of 7.33 beta release: update dates and version numbers, edits
to News.htm. (gscdef.c [1.31]: 2002/11/18 21:41:51 raph)

Other

Fixes problems:
	- remove the unused SYSTIME_H from the mac headers. Prefer "time_.h"
to <sys/time.h>. Although the Metroworks Standard Library doesn't have
a sys/time.h, keep the definition of HAVE_SYS_TIME_H for now to avoid a
multiple definition problem with struct timeval. (macsystypes.h [1.5]:
2002/11/14 16:55:21 giles)

Turn on 64 bit color indexes in the MacOS build. (macsystypes.h [1.6]:
2002/11/14 17:36:21 giles)

Version 7.32 (2002-11-02)

This is the second beta release in preparation for 8.0. The most notable new feature is Well Tempered Screening, which now works for angles of 0 and 45 degrees as well.

To test WTS, set the UseWTS user parameter:

<< /UseWTS true >> setuserparams

Also make sure you're not in a banding mode (setting -dMaxBitmap=500000000 should work), and that your halftone dictionaries set /AccurateScreens.

A fair number of bugfixes have also made it into this release, including a fix for the slow rendering of PDF's in GhostView-derived viewers.

The following SourceForge bug numbers were open at the time of this release: 405342, 407342, 414947, 414985, 446344, 458261, 458775, 458780, 459647, 465936, 484752, 484753, 487953, 493348, 505429, 510808, 526099, 526491, 530011, 535366, 535752, 535836, 538033, 539239, 546823, 554076, 558151, 558435, 563287, 569573, 570772, 573744, 578838, 578865, 584990, 592160, 592837, 592841, 592925, 592930, 595760, 596009, 598014, 600281, 600288, 601255, 601336, 601694, 602995, 603934, 605830, 607425, 607850, 608520, 609488, 610356, 610478, 610727, 611694, 611701, 611727, 611898, 612801, 614298, 615165, 615994, 616970, 616976, 617077, 617523, 621243, 621246, 623122, 623292, 623989, 624515, 625085, 626059, 626295, 626358, 626419, 626464, 627545, 628110, 628542, 628557, 629116, 629335, 629961, 631180, 631974.

Procedures

Fixes problems:
	- adds a missing header to gxshade for indexed color routines.
(lib.mak [1.103]: 2002/10/22 13:31:37 giles)
	- update the ECHOGS_MAK dependency to ECHOGS_XE. (devs.mak [1.80],
int.mak [1.86], lib.mak [1.105]: 2002/10/22 18:38:00 giles)
	- correct some dependencies against the include lists in the
relevent C files. Also reorder them to facilitate easer checking next time.
Closes SourceForge bug #607819. (int.mak [1.89], lib.mak [1.108]: 2002/10/28
19:17:19 giles)
	- install cidfmap on unix. (unixinst.mak [1.27]: 2002/10/28 19:27:06
giles)
	- install the example FAPI configuration files by default. Ideally
this would be dependent of enabling the fapi feature in the build.
(unixinst.mak [1.28]: 2002/10/28 19:43:42 giles)
	- provided a meaningful error message when an immediately evaluated
name can not be found. Fixes SourceForge bug #543185, Confusing diagnostics
for //undefined. (int.mak [1.91]: 2002/10/29 09:57:53 ghostgum)
	- also install the character translation FAPI config file.
(unixinst.mak [1.29]: 2002/10/31 16:01:12 giles)
	- Fiddles with makefile parameter quoting so that "make pg" runs
again. (unix-end.mak [1.5]: 2002/11/02 05:51:00 raph)

Remove the gcc version check from the macosx makefile. That platform is
unlikely to be running the version in question. (macosx.mak [1.14]:
2002/10/18 13:17:07 giles)

Use 'gcc2' as the C compiler with the macosx makefile, working around a bug
in Apple's gcc3 (the default cc). This won't work on pre-10.2 developer
tools, but users are less likely to encounter that now. (macosx.mak [1.15]:
2002/10/18 15:48:26 giles)

Corrects various include dependency problems. Closes SourceForge Bug
#604884. (devs.mak [1.79], int.mak [1.85], lib.mak [1.104]: 2002/10/22

(int.mak [1.87]: 2002/10/22 18:42:32 giles)

Add real 'make distclean' and 'make maintainer-clean' targets. These are no
longer general no-ops but are the responsibility of the platform-specific
makefiles. The autoconf build now removes its generated files from the
top-level directory when requested. (gs.mak [1.18], unix-gcc.mak [1.38],
unixansi.mak [1.26]: 2002/10/24 12:57:57 giles)

12:14:54 giles)

Bump version after the 7.31 release. (version.mak [1.54]: 2002/10/28
20:11:08 giles)

(lib.mak [1.109], msvclib.mak [1.21], msvctail.mak [1.9], pcwin.mak [1.5]:
2002/10/29 09:22:29 ghostgum)

Changes to Windows and OS/2 files to allow ghostscript to compile with the
graphics library and interpreter in separate source directories. Partial fix
for SourceForge bug #542848, "library #includes interpreter headers".

Remove the obsolete mswindll and mswinprn devices from the standard Windows
build. (bcwin32.mak [1.24], msvc32.mak [1.38], watcw32.mak [1.21]:
2002/10/31 10:11:03 ghostgum)

Reinstate the mswindll device because removing it also requires modifying
the exports in gsdll32.def. (bcwin32.mak [1.25], msvc32.mak [1.39],
watcw32.mak [1.22]: 2002/10/31 10:51:29 ghostgum)

Add a utility that draws glyphs on top of the character box defined in the
given AFM. Goes throuh each glyph in the AFM. (toolbin/drawafm.ps [1.1]:
2002/10/31 18:08:49 ray)

Module gslib removed from the library archive. Further fix for [ 538311 ]
files missing from library archive. (ugcclib.mak [1.22]: 2002/11/02 04:28:15
ghostgum)

Moved the redefinition of the DefaultGray, DefaultRGB, and DefaultCMYK
instances of the ColorSpace resource category to the pdfopen procedure, as
opposed to the runpdf procedure. This avoids unintended color space
substitution when using utilities such as gv, gsview, etc., which do not
invoke the runpdf procedure. Thanks to both Raph Levien and Russell Lang for
suggesting this modification. (lib/pdf_main.ps [1.58]: 2002/10/17 21:33:03
dan)

Moved the invocation of pdfshowpage_setcspacesub from pdfshowpage to
pdfshowpage_finish. This is done to accommodate gsview, which does not
invoke pdfshowpage. Thanks to Russell Lang for pointing this out.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.59]: 2002/10/18 17:31:26 dan)

This is a fix to handle the "slow rendering for PDF files with color space
substitution" ("-dUseCIEColor") problem. The code for the patches is the
same as in yesterday's message; some comments have been added, and some of
the earlier comments made more clear (we hope). Modified Files:
lib/gs_cspace.ps Modified the _setcolorspace procedure to ignore redundant
settings of the current color space for PDF files, even if color space
substitution is in effect. lib/pdf_main.ps Modified pdfshowpage_setcspacesub
to "transition" the current color space if color space substitution is in
effect and the current color space is a device-dependent color space.
(lib/pdf_main.ps [1.60]: 2002/10/24 04:13:50 dan)

Change some pdfformaterror messages to "Warning" to avoid user confusion and
alleviate concern. Also this should help bug reports to be less misleading.

Interpreter

Fixes problems:
	- A typo in .locksafe procedure left 2 boolean parameters on the
stack causing PS errors in some files produced by "dvips(k) 5.86" that
depend on empty initial operand stack. Bug #626437 (lib/gs_init.ps [1.67]:
2002/10/24 20:37:29 alexcher)
	- currentcolorspace didn't check whether the current device is a

This is a fix to handle the "slow rendering for PDF files with color space
substitution" ("-dUseCIEColor") problem. The code for the patches is the
same as in yesterday's message; some comments have been added, and some of
the earlier comments made more clear (we hope). Modified Files:
lib/gs_cspace.ps Modified the _setcolorspace procedure to ignore redundant
settings of the current color space for PDF files, even if color space
substitution is in effect. lib/pdf_main.ps Modified pdfshowpage_setcspacesub
to "transition" the current color space if color space substitution is in
effect and the current color space is a device-dependent color space.

Proposed log message: According to PLRM 3rd ed, p. 264 "indexed color space
is not allowed in any shading whose color values are generated by a

	- On gcc 2.95.4 for Alpha all structures are padded to 8 byte

	- Fix incorrect calculation of the clipping path around the pattern
tile. Old code used bounding box of the tile in device coordinate system as
a clippin path. When the tile was not aligned with device coordinates the
box extended beyond the tile parallelogram causing incorrect rendering of a
pattern depending on clipping path. New code draws correct clipping path by
taking advantage of high level functions. Also gs_bbox_transform() was moved
out of compute_inst_matrix() to improve readability. Bug #595378
(gsptype1.c [1.13]: 2002/10/31 16:34:01 alexcher)
	- Default allocator added to the stable allocator because it is used
in s_zlib_alloc() when the clist is stored in memory. According to

tags pointers with the same VM space number but which is not subject to save

Version 7.31 (2002-10-17)

This is the first beta release in preparation for 8.0. A great many bugs have been fixed since the 7.30 alpha release, and it should be stable for most users. Two features planned for 8.0 are not yet fully functional, however: subpixel positioning of antialiased text, and Well Tempered Screening (the latter can be enabled for experimentation, but does not work for 0 and 45 degree angles).

The following SourceForge bug numbers were open at the time of the last release: 405342, 407342, 414947, 414985, 434277, 446344, 446672, 458261, 458775, 458780, 459647, 465720, 465936, 468762, 484752, 484753, 485510, 487953, 493348, 505429, 508081, 509646, 510808, 513905, 517349, 526099, 526491, 528647, 530011, 530588, 535366, 535752, 535836, 538033, 538428, 539239, 542848, 543185, 546823, 552989, 554076, 558151, 558435, 563287, 567421, 567773, 569573, 570772, 572119, 573744, 576591, 576591, 578838, 578865, 583413, 584990, 591768, 592160, 592164, 592837, 592841, 592925, 592930, 594582, 595375, 595378, 595760, 596009, 598014, 600281, 600288, 601255, 601336, 601694, 602739, 602995, 603577, 603689, 603934, 604884, 604886, 605830, 607425, 607819, 607850, 608520, 609488, 609494, 609809, 610040, 610356, 610359, 610478, 610727, 611463, 611694, 611701, 611727, 611898, 612801, 613165, 613909, 613909, 614298, 614299, 615165, 615620, 615994, 616970, 616976, 617077, 617523, 620420, 620865, 620968, 621243, 621246, 621293, 623122, 623292, 623989, 624082, 624168, 624493, 624515.

A few regressions remain. See the archives of the regression report for more details. Another known issue is slow rendering of PDF's from GSView and Ghostview family viewers.

Incompatible changes

The -dDOPS flag (to enable DoPS processing) is now disabled by default, as it is a more reasonable default. Thus, any files which depend on DoPS will now break unless this flag is set.

Documentation

Fixes problems:
	- Mentions the autoconf build method in the installation
documentation. Inspired by a user report of having looked there first rather
than at Make.htm; an understandible choice based on linux packaging
conventions. (doc/Install.htm [1.35]: 2002/09/16 21:15:39 giles)
	- Keep pagedevice and device views of .LockSafetyParams correct even
after a 'restore' is used to unlock. The dictionary fed to the setpagedevice
operator is allocated in the same VM space as currentpagedevice to avoid
invalidaccess problems. Fixed SF #580029 and does not revert to the
incorrect behaviour of bug #516379. (doc/Language.htm [1.53]: 2002/09/18

This is some clean up on the DeviceN devices: XCF, PSD, and spot devices. 1.
Ensuring that the process color model name is correct. 2. removing support
of SeparationColorNames from additive devices. 3. Finish removal of variable

Utilities

Fixes problems:
	- code cleanup in macos platform specific routines. (gp_mac.c [1.9]:
2002/09/17 00:09:26 giles)
	- the console stubs are no longer necessary for the macos build.

Attached is a updated version of our code release of 4 October, 2002. As
before, the primary purpose of this release is to modify the manner in which
overprint information is passed to the overprint compositor device. This
resolves some difficulties seen when overprinting is used with the command
list device. This update incorporates the changes checked in by Dan on
October 4th. Since Dan's changes to gxcldev.h and gxclrast.c were identical
to ours, we have removed those two files from this release. Jan Modified
Files lib/gs_init.ps lib/pdf_draw.ps Change "DONTPS" flag to "DOPS", with
the logically inverted function: only if DOPS is defined will "PS" XObjects
be rendered. We believe this is the more appropriate default. lib/gs_dps.ps
lib/gs_img.ps src/gsdparams.c Modified the deviceinfo and image code to work
around a potentially improperly set ColorValues parameter. src/devs.mak
Updated dependency list for gdevscf.$(OBJ). src/gdevdflt.c 1. Added
initialization of the new color_info.opmode field to
gx_device_fill_in_procs. 2. In get_decode_color, added special case handling
for canonical 1-bit CMYK devices (e.g.: pkmraw). Previously the decode_color
method for this devices would default to gx_default_cmyk_decode_color, which
performed an CMYK ==> RGB ==> CMYK conversion. This conversion would
defeat overprinting if gray object was placed on top of a colored region.

src/gsptype2.c src/gsstate.c src/gsstate.h src/gxcmap.c src/gxcspace.h
src/zcolor.c Modified the overprint code to, when necessary, pass overprint
mode information when setting the device color. This is necessary to
properly handle overprint mode when using the command list device. NB: This
change alters the meaning of the "effective_overprint_mode" field in the
imager state. src/gxdevcli.h Added the opmode and process_comps fields to
the gx_device_color_info structure. These are required by the new code that
passes overprint mode information when the device color is set.
src/gsdfilt.h Changed the prototype for the push method in the
gs_device_filter structure to match the actual implementation and usage of
this method (the third and fourth operands were reversed). src/gsimage.c
Modified gx_image_cleanup to check if penum->info field is null before
calling gx_image_end. This avoids a crash associated that can occur if an
image has zero height or width, as the image enumeration data structure will
have been released in such cases before gs_image_cleanup is called.

(gdevdevn.c [1.2], gdevxcf.c [1.3]: 2002/10/08 00:49:48 dan)

Adds DeviceCMY (-dMode=1) process color model to permute device.
(gdevperm.c [1.2]: 2002/10/08 16:49:59 raph)

Add a setup the shift and mask bits in ppm_open. This finishes initializing
the device as being "linear and separable". This is needed since the various
pxm devices are using the default color encode routine which needs the
linear and separable information. (gdevpbm.c [1.10]: 2002/10/09 02:34:11
dan)

PhotoShop PSD Driver. (gdevpsd.c [1.1]: 2002/10/12 11:43:21 jeong)

Removed logic for setting variable number of bits per component. This is not
supported on the xcf, spotrgb, or spotcmyk devices. (gdevdevn.c [1.3],
gdevxcf.c [1.4]: 2002/10/15 00:36:57 dan)

This is some clean up on the DeviceN devices: XCF, PSD, and spot devices. 1.
Ensuring that the process color model name is correct. 2. removing support
of SeparationColorNames from additive devices. 3. Finish removal of variable
bits per components (GrayValues) from the devices. None of them had any form

PDF writer

Fixes problems:
	- Fix (pdfwrite): Virtual function same_font cannot work properly if
arguments have different representation (particularly for comparing an
original font with its stable copy). Due to it pdf_font_resource_t::Widths
mixed widths taken from fonts variations with different metrics. Entirely
changing the logics of creating font resources with new function
gs_copied_can_copy_glyphs. Source Forge bugs : #596394 (pdfwrite) Wrong

prevented compilation. (gdevpdfx.h [1.52]: 2002/09/09 16:08:19 giles)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Completing the logics of the Widths array
generation. Now the contents of Widths is taken from embedded font, but
widths for glyphs placement (Tj) are from original font. (gdevpdte.c [1.12],
gdevpdtt.c [1.10]: 2002/09/11 11:26:13 igor)

	- Fix (pdfwrite) : (1) gs_glyph_info_t::v was uninitialized if glyph
metrics is taken from the outline (thanks to Erik Strik for spotting it).
(2) Improving glyph placement. (3) A minor optimization and improving some
comments about glyph placament. (gdevpdte.c [1.13], gdevpdtt.c [1.12]:
2002/09/13 23:43:07 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : (1) The previous fix wrongly processed Metrics.
(2) TJ arguments were computed with accounting Tc taken from a desincronized
text state. (3) Type 42 missed side bearing. (4) An optimization reduces

against the starting position of the text continuation (gdevpdts.c); (3)
font_orig_scale was erroneusely exchenged for original and copied fonts; (4)
Enhancing the hack in font_orig_scale with upside_down FontMatrix, (Source
Forge bug "[ 607480 ] 'Ghost' text appears"). (5) Enhancing
same_type1_hinting with fonts with nulls in Subrs (gxfcopy.c, test file of
#607480). Debugged with 0.pdf and 020-01.ps. (gdevpdts.c [1.14],
gdevpdtt.c [1.14]: 2002/09/14 19:29:30 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : Skipping Tj breaks being equal to Tc.
(gdevpdts.c [1.15]: 2002/09/14 20:27:07 igor)
	- Fix (pdfwrite) : (1) For better precision changing the internal
representation of Widths to double, and skipping small noise while writing
Tj. (2) Widths for Type 3 fonts were not computed (020-01.ps, 031-01.ps).

creating the PostScript Function dictionary for shadings. Fixes SourceForge
bug #609486. Fixes based on analysis and preliminary fix by Dan Coby.
(lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.52]: 2002/09/15 20:40:54 ray)
	- If the CIDCount for a font exceeded 32767, building the
CIDToGIDMap would exceed the maximum string length. Create an array of two
strings for this case. Also issue a warning if the CIDToGIDMap stream did
not contain enough characters for the CIDCount. SourceForge bug #611099 for
Artifex Customer #350. (lib/pdf_font.ps [1.45]: 2002/09/19 18:10:00 ray)
	- Insure that individual color name references are resolved in PDF
DeviceN colorspaces. (lib/pdf_draw.ps [1.53]: 2002/09/26 05:26:32 dan)
	- Fix to PDF interpreter : 1. Changing the logics of the True Type
cmap choice to comply with PDF spec. 2. Making the embedded font parser to
create a PS font independently on font resource options, so that the font
can associate with the font descriptor. 3. Avoiding the redundant parsing of
embedded fonts with removing the hack for SF bug "533467 Missing char on
test2a.pdf (regression)". 4. Removing the hack from buildTrueType because it
has no effect. 5. Widths and Encoding were ignored for embedded True Type
fonts. 6. Adding few warnings about PDF spec violations.
(lib/pdf_font.ps [1.46]: 2002/10/03 19:40:27 igor)
	- Ignore non-zero wy values to the d1 CharProcs operator in Type3

The attached code release addresses a number of issues:

  1. Most of the code changes are required to turn off overprint mode when
     processing images, smooth shading fills (shfill operator), or
     when using PatternType 2 (smooth shading) patterns.
[...]

  lib/gs_img.ps
    Added code to turn off overprint mode for images.

  lib/gs_ll3.ps
    Added code to turn off overprint mode for shfill.

  src/zcolor.c
    Added code to disable overprint mode for PatternType 2 patterns.

Bump version numbers after 7.30 release. (lib/gs_init.ps [1.63]: 2002/09/12

  lib/gs_devn.ps
    Modified the cs_install procedure for DeviceN color spaces to
    support the component name array "[ All ]". The documentation
    indicates that this is not legal ("PDF Reference", 3rd. ed.,
    p. 206), but beginning with Acrobat 5, DeviceN color spaces with
    this component name array are handled in the same manner as
    Separation color spaces with the component name All. The modified
    code detects this component array and converts the operand color
    space to a Separation color space.

The attached code release fixes a variety of memory handling problems
discovered by Dan's test with the memory validation enabled.

  2. Several problems noted with files 119-01.ps (panel 119-07) and
     119-28.ps (panel 119-31) were caused by a problem with the memory
     allocator used for the jpeg_compress_data structure used with the
     DCTEncode (JPEG) filter. This filter is used by the PDFwriter, the
     JPEG device drive, and as a filter accessible from PostScript.
     In the first two cases the jpeg_compress_data structure is allocated
     using the normal, gs_ref_memory_t structure. When used from
     PostScript, however, this structure is allocated using the
     gs_memory_default allocator (presumably because the jpeg library
     code is not set up to deal with save/restore).

     The gs_memory_default allocator is not a gs_ref_memory_t allocator,
     so it does not create the hidden obj_header_t structures preceding
     each allocated region. The garbage collector is dependent on these
     headers, hence the pointer enumeration routines in structure
     descriptors must not enumerate any pointers to memory allocated
     by non-gs_ref_memory_t headers.

     This creates a difficult problem for the pointer enumeration
     routine of the stream_DCT_state structure, whose data.compress field
     points to a jpeg_compress_data structure. This routine would have
     to determine which allocator was used for this structure before
     deciding whether or not to "enumerate" the data.compress pointer.
     In principle it has enough information to do this (the jpeg_memory
     field of the structure), but this seems like a overly complicated
     solution. Use of a stable gs_ref_memory_t allocator in place of
     the gs_memory_default allocator seems like a simpler solution.

  src/zfdcte.c
    Modified zDCTE to place the jpeg_compress_data structure into stable
    memory rather than use the gs_memory_default allocator.

Attached is a updated version of our code release of 4 October, 2002.

As before, the primary purpose of this release is to modify the manner
in which overprint information is passed to the overprint compositor
device.  This resolves some difficulties seen when overprinting is
used with the command list device.

This update incorporates the changes checked in by Dan on October 4th.
Since Dan's changes to gxcldev.h and gxclrast.c were identical to ours,
we have removed those two files from this release.

Modified Files

  lib/gs_init.ps
  lib/pdf_draw.ps
    Change "DONTPS" flag to "DOPS", with the logically inverted function:
    only if DOPS is defined will "PS" XObjects be rendered. We believe this
    is the more appropriate default.

  lib/gs_dps.ps
  lib/gs_img.ps
  src/gsdparams.c
    Modified the deviceinfo and image code to work around a potentially
    improperly set ColorValues parameter.

  src/devs.mak
    Updated dependency list for gdevscf.$(OBJ).

  src/gdevdflt.c
    1. Added initialization of the new color_info.opmode field to
       gx_device_fill_in_procs.
    2. In get_decode_color, added special case handling for canonical 1-bit
       CMYK devices (e.g.: pkmraw). Previously the decode_color method for
       this devices would default to gx_default_cmyk_decode_color, which
       performed an CMYK ==> RGB ==> CMYK conversion. This conversion would
       defeat overprinting if gray object was placed on top of a colored
       region.

  src/zcolor.c
    Modified the overprint code to, when necessary, pass overprint mode
    information when setting the device color. This is necessary to properly
    handle overprint mode when using the command list device.

    NB: This change alters the meaning of the "effective_overprint_mode" field
        in the imager state.

  src/iscanbin.c
  zfapi.c

The attached code release addresses a number of issues:

  1. Most of the code changes are required to turn off overprint mode when
     processing images, smooth shading fills (shfill operator), or
     when using PatternType 2 (smooth shading) patterns.

  2. A few other changes were required to correct improper updating of the
     overprint compositor information.

  3. The code has been modified to avoid the crash that was observed for
     the file 86554321.pdf on MSWindows XP systems.

  4. The command list playback code has been modified to handle filling of
     thin lines in a manner consistent with the noband case. This allows
     files such as mspro.pdf to be rendered consistently in the banded and
     noband case.

                                                                Jan


Modified Files:

  src/gscolor2.c
    1. Modified gs_setcolorspace to call gs_do_set_overprint rather than
       invoking the color space's set_overprint routine directly. This
       allows pattern color spaces to be handled (somewhat more) correctly.
    2. Modified gs_setcolor to update overprint information. This is
       necessary for pattern color spaces, where the color space to be used
       for overprint purposes may be part of the color.

  src/gscspace.c
    Modified gx_set_overprint_DeviceCMYK to use the effective_overprint_mode
    parameter in the image state (rather than the overprint_mode parameter
    itself). This is part of the change necessary to allow overprint mode to
    be turned off when a PatternType2 pattern is used as the current color.

  src/gsdevice.c
    Modified gs_set_device_no_init to call gs_do_set_overprint rather than
    invoking the color space's set_overprint routine directly.

  src/gsdps1.c
    Modified rectfill to use the effective_overprint_mode parameter in the
    imager state (rather than the overprint_mode parameter).

  src/gsovrc.c
    1. Fixed a bug in overprint_draw_thin_line: the third and fourth
       operands in the call to gx_default_draw_thin_line (the y coordinate
       of the first point and the x-coordinate of the second) were
       in reverse order. This caused random lines to appear on various
       overprint mode tests (e.g.: BEST99-00-Path.fh7.pdf,
       Testform.v1.0.2.pdf).
    2. Fixed typo in comment.
    3. Modified the fill_in_procs procedure to initialize the device color
       model information for the temporary device used in this routine.
       Though the color model information does not affect the output of
       the routine, reasonable values must be provided to avoid problems
       when gx_device_forward_fill_in_procs calls gx_device_fill_in_procs.
       This would cause certain systems to crash with files that involved
       overprint/overprint mode (e.g.: 86554321.pdf on MSWinXP/MSVC systems).
    4. Modified several checks that treated the separable_and_linear flag
       in the device color model information as a boolean to handle this
       parameter as an enumeration instead (since it is an enumeration).

  src/gsptype1.c
    Added gs_pattern1_set_color, the set_color method appropriate for
    PatternType 1 patterns. This method performs overprint updating at
    setcolor time, a requirement for patterns as the "colorspace" to be
    used for overprint purposes is determined (in part) by the current
    "color" (pattern).

  src/gsptype2.c
    Added gs_pattern2_set_color, the set_color method appropriate for
    PatternType 2 patterns.

  src/gsstate.c
    1. Changed the criterion used in gs_grestore_only to determine if the
       overprint compositor must be updated. Restoring the graphic state
       may change the current color, which in the case of patterns may
       change the "colorspace" to be used for overprint purposes. The code
       now properly handles this possibility.
    2. Added the gs_do_set_overprint routine, and modified various other
       routines that directly call the current color space's
       set_overprint method to call this procedure instead. The procedure
       implements the special handling required for pattern color spaces,
       where the current color may need to be considered when determining
       which color model components must be retained.
    3. Added code to initialize the effective_overprint_mode parameter in
       the imager state, and provided two external routines to manipulate
       this parameter. The first routine, gs_disable_effective_overprint_mode,
       sets the effective_overprint_mode parameter to false, irrespective
       of the setting of the overprint_mode parameter. The second,
       gs_reset_effective_overprint_mode, sets the effective_overprint_mode
       parameter to have the same value as the overprint_mode parameter.
       The effective_overprint_mode parameter is used to turn off
       overprint_mode when a PatternType 2 pattern is being used.

  src/gsstate.h
    Added prototypes for gs_do_set_overprint,
    gs_disable_effective_overprint_mode, and
    gs_reset_effective_overprint_mode.

  src/gxccache.c
    Modified gx_image_cached_char to invoke gx_set_dev_color before calling
    (non-standard) device fill_mask methods. This handles several
    situations in which a device color is not set when a cached character
    is to be imaged, in particular for the command list device.

  src/gxclpath.c
    Added a comment to indicate that, though the overprint and
    overprint_mode parameters are passed through the command list, they
    usually have no effect, as overprint is controlled by the compositor
    information that is (also) passed through the command list.

  src/gxclrast.c
    1. Added a comment to indicate that the overprint and overprint mode
       parameters passed through the command list usually have no effect.
    2. Added code to initialize the effective_parameter_mode field in the
       imager state (though this field is usually in-effective).
    3. Initialized the fill_zero_width field of the fill_params structure
       in clist_playback_band to have the same value as in the noband case.
       This parameter was previously always set to false, which led to
       dropped lines for some files (e.g.: mspro.pdf).

  src/gxistate.h
    Added the effective_overprint_mode parameter.

  src/gxpcolor.h
    Added a set_color method to the pattern method vector. This method
    performs any PatternType-specific actions necessary at setcolor
    time. For now, this just updates the overprint compositor as required.

Bump version numbers after 7.30 release. (gscdef.c [1.26]: 2002/09/12
09:52:20 giles)


  src/gxccache.c
    1. Fixed numerous problems with compress_alpha_bits and its invocation in
       gx_image_cached_char. The former procedure is called only if anti-
       aliasing (text alpha bits > 1) is called for a color that requires
       halftoning or for a device, such as pbmraw, that does not support the
       copy_alpha method. This happens infrequently, and the code was
       apparently never used.
    2. Moved the invocation of gs_set_dev_color to an earlier location in
       gx_image_cached_char, so that the device color will be set before
       any check is made to see if it is a pure color.

  src/gxclimag.c
    1. Added code in clist_fill_mask to return an error if the mask to be
       filled has depth > 1 and clist_disable_copy_alpha flag is set in the
       disable_mask field. The latter will be the case if the target device
       does not support copy alpha. The command list translates fill_mask
       calls into copy_alpha calls, which drives this requirement. By
       returning an error, the fall-back mechanism included in
       gx_image_cached_char (gxccache.c), which is the only client of the
       fill_mask method, can function properly.
    2. Also modified clist_fill_mask to check that the drawing color is
       pure if depth > 1 and use the default fill_mask method if this is
       not the case. (The copy_alpha call to which the command list code will
       translate the fill_mask works only for pure colors.) In addition, if
       the color is pure, the clist_fill_mask routine will now send commands
       to set color1 as well as transmit the device color; the code in
       clist_playback_band (gxclrast.c) assumes that all "copy_mono" and
       "copy_alpha" commands have set color1.

  src/gxclist.c
    Added code in clist_init_data to set the clist_disable_copy_alpha bit
    in the disable_mask field if the target device does not support the
    copy_alpha method. This must be done in this rather unintuitive location
    because it is impossible to tell if the target device supports copy_alpha
    until it has been made into a memory device (via the create_buf_device
    buffer device method).

  src/gxclist.h
    Defined the clist_disable_copy_alpha bit, which is used in the
    disable_mask field to indicate that the target device does not support
    the copy_alpha method.

  src/gxclrast.c
    Added include of gzht.h, to silence some compiler complaints.

  src/gxclrect.c
    Modified clist_copy_alpha to return an error if clist_disable_copy_alpha
    bit is set in the disable_mask field. This bit indicates that the target
    device does not support the copy_alpha method, so we might as well
    return an error now, while there is a chance the client might be able to
    do something about it.

The modification changes the way tile depth is encoded in the command
list as part of the cmd_opv_set_tile_size command.

Modified files:

  gxcldev.h
    Added the macros cmd_depth_to_code and cmd_code_to_depth. These allow
    encoding/decoding of the color model depth parameter (bits/pixel) in
    such a manner as to support depths up to 120 bits (depths > 15 bits
    must be a multiple of 8).

  gxclbits.c
    Modified cmd_store_tile_params to use the cmd_depth_to_code macro.

  gxclrast.c
    Modified read_set_tile_size to use the cmd_code_to_depth macro.

The attached code generalizes the sample_load_* and sample_store_* macros
in gsbitops.h to handle depths up to 64 bits. In addition to providing
64 bit versions of these macros, we also added the macros sample_load_any,
sample_load_next_any, and sample_store_next_any. These macros are intended
to be used in situations in which any supported depth may be used. All of
the invocations of the sample_load32, sample_load_next32, etc. macros have
been changed to invoke the *_any version of these macros instead. In
addition, a few minor changes have been made to silence compiler warning
messages.

Modified files:

  src/gdevalph.c
    Changed invocations of the sample_{load|store}_next32 macro to be
    invocations of sample_{load|store}_next_any instead. Also made various
    changes to allow the code to be compiled with the DeviceN system (the
    file has apparently not been compiled for some time).

  src/gdevdbit.c
    Made a couple of minor changes to silence compiler warning messages.

  src/gdevdgbr.c
    Changed invocations of the sample_{load|store}_next32 macro to be
    invocations of sample_{load|store}_next_any instead.

  src/gdevmpla.c
    Changed invocations of the sample_{load|store}_next32 macro to be
    invocations of sample_{load|store}_next_any instead.

  src/gsbitops.c
    Changed invocations of the sample_{load|store}_next32 macro to be
    invocations of sample_{load|store}_next_any instead. Also made the
    value being read/written be of type gx_color_index rather than
    type bits32.

  src/gsbitops.h
    Added 64-bit versions of the sample_load* and sample_store* macros.
    Also added *_any versions of these macros, to be used in situations
    where any supported color depth may be encountered.

  src/gxcindex.h
    Changed an invocation of the sample_store_next32 macro to be an
    invocation of sample_store_next_any instead. Also updated a comment.

src/gsht.c 1. Fixed a memory handling problem in gx_imager_dev_ht_install,
which could result in objects being freed multiple times. 2. Removed a
temporary hack in gx_imager_dev_ht_install that ensured that the halftone
cache always had at least one tile per level. This hack is no longer
necessary, as binary halftone device colors are now handled correctly.
(gsht.c [1.11]: 2002/09/21 07:08:27 dan)


Modified Files:

  src/gsmisc.c
    Fixed an apparently long-standing bug in ilog2. Due to a typo, this
    procedure returned 0 for any power of 16.

  src/gxoprect.c
    Fixed an uninitialized variable problem in
    gx_overprint_sep_fill_rectangle_1 and gx_overprint_sep_fill_rectangle_2.
(gsmisc.c [1.15], gxoprect.c [1.2]: 2002/09/23 01:21:02 dan; checkin for Jan)

Modified Files: src/gsht.c Modified the invocation of
gx_device_halftone_release in gx_ht_install to use the memory allocator
pointer stored in the device halftone, rather than the one stored in the
graphic state. src/gsimage.c Removed what appears to have been an errant
optimization in gx_image_cleanup. This procedure will now always invoke
gx_image_end, even if the image was not rendered (penum->dev == 0).
(gsht.c [1.12], gsimage.c [1.9]: 2002/09/23 21:36:31 dan)


The attached code release fixes a variety of memory handling problems
discovered by Dan's test with the memory validation enabled.

  1. Most of the problems with the FTS were accounted for by a relatively
     harmless dangling pointer problem for paths. In order to support the
     charpath operator, paths are normally constructed in stable memory
     (not subject to save/restore). However, clipping paths were
     constructed in normal memory. If the clippath operator was used to
     make the clipping path the current path, the top-level
     gx_path_segments would be in stable memory, while the rest of the
     path would be in normal memory. A restore operation could then
     leave dangling pointers.

     This is not normally a problem, because the grestore operation
     associated with the restore would clear the gx_path_segments
     structure. This only works on the graphic state stack, however;
     graphic state objects stored in VM would not be reset.

     This is harmful only in a very obscure case when the charpath operator
     is used on a user-defined font whose BuildGlyph procedure contains
     internal save/restore operators and which builds part of its
     output with the clippath operator. As far as we know, this has
     never occurred in practice.

  2. [...zDCTE stable memory...]

  3. If an overprint compositor was used with a banding device, the code
     in clist_playback_band was not cleaning up this compositor before
     exiting. This caused difficulty with the p2b-100.pdf file. This
     code has been modified to close the target device if this device
     does not match the original target device with which the routine
     was invoked.

  4. For historical reasons, the link between a halftone order and its
     tile cache is a bit peculiar. The order includes a pointer to the
     tile cache, and the tile cache keeps a copy of the order, which
     points to the same levels/bit data structure of the original order.
     Because of these two-way points, the order and its tile cache must
     use the same memory allocator to avoid dangling pointer problems.
     The code patch modifies gx_imager_dev_ht_install (gsht.c) to
     preserve this invariant. The change fixes another problem noted for
     p2b-100.pdf.

With these changes, we are able to run both the PS3 FTS and the full set
of pdf regression files using the '-Z@$?' switch with no reported problems.


                                                       Jan

Modified files:

  src/gspaint.c
  src/gspath.c
    In gs_strokepath and gs_clippath, cause the newly constructed path to
    use the memory allocator of the current path, rather than the memory
    of the current graphic state. This is no longer strictly necessary
    due to other changes that place path substructure completely in
    stable memory (see gxpath.c below).

  src/gxpath.c
    Modify path_allocs_segments, rc_free_path_segments_local,
    gx_path_add_lines_notes, and the path_alloc_segment macro to place
    the entire path substructure (from the gx_path_segments structure
    down) in stable memory. This is necessary to avoid dangling
    pointers, as a list of path segments may be attached to another path,
    parts of which were constructed with a different allocator.

  src/gsht1.c
    Removed obsolete code.

  src/gxclrast.c
    In clist_playback_band, close and discard the target device on
    completion of a band if it is not the same as the target device on
    entry.  This is necessary to remove an overprint compositor that
    may have been created in the course of the band.

  src/gsht.c
    In gx_imager_dev_ht_install, copy any halftone orders that were not
    allocated using the same allocator as used by the graphic state. This
    must be done to avoid dangling forward/back pointer between halftone
    orders and the associated tile caches.

Attached is a updated version of our code release of 4 October, 2002.

As before, the primary purpose of this release is to modify the manner
in which overprint information is passed to the overprint compositor
device.  This resolves some difficulties seen when overprinting is
used with the command list device.

This update incorporates the changes checked in by Dan on October 4th.
Since Dan's changes to gxcldev.h and gxclrast.c were identical to ours,
we have removed those two files from this release.

Modified Files

  lib/gs_init.ps
  lib/pdf_draw.ps
    Change "DONTPS" flag to "DOPS", with the logically inverted function:
    only if DOPS is defined will "PS" XObjects be rendered. We believe this
    is the more appropriate default.

  lib/gs_dps.ps
  lib/gs_img.ps
  src/gsdparams.c
    Modified the deviceinfo and image code to work around a potentially
    improperly set ColorValues parameter.

  src/devs.mak
    Updated dependency list for gdevscf.$(OBJ).

  src/gdevdflt.c
    1. Added initialization of the new color_info.opmode field to
       gx_device_fill_in_procs.
    2. In get_decode_color, added special case handling for canonical 1-bit
       CMYK devices (e.g.: pkmraw). Previously the decode_color method for
       this devices would default to gx_default_cmyk_decode_color, which
       performed an CMYK ==> RGB ==> CMYK conversion. This conversion would
       defeat overprinting if gray object was placed on top of a colored
       region.

    Modified the overprint code to, when necessary, pass overprint mode
    information when setting the device color. This is necessary to properly
    handle overprint mode when using the command list device.

    NB: This change alters the meaning of the "effective_overprint_mode" field
        in the imager state.

  src/gxdevcli.h
    Added the opmode and process_comps fields to the gx_device_color_info
    structure. These are required by the new code that passes overprint mode
    information when the device color is set.

  src/gsdfilt.h
    Changed the prototype for the push method in the gs_device_filter
    structure to match the actual implementation and usage of this method
    (the third and fourth operands were reversed).

  src/gsimage.c
    Modified gx_image_cleanup to check if penum->info field is null before
    calling gx_image_end. This avoids a crash associated that can occur if
    an image has zero height or width, as the image enumeration data structure
    will have been released in such cases before gs_image_cleanup is called.

Version 7.30 (2002-09-07)

This is an alpha testing release of the new DeviceN implementation. In addition, there have been numerous bug fixes and further cleanup in the pdfwrite device.

Unfortunately, documentation for the DeviceN changes was not available in time for this release.

The following SourceForge bug numbers were open at the time of the last release: 405342, 407342, 414947, 414985, 423838, 434277, 446344, 446672, 458261, 458775, 458780, 459647, 465720, 465936, 468762, 484752, 484753, 485510, 487953, 493348, 495319, 505429, 508081, 509646, 510808, 513905, 517349, 526099, 526491, 528647, 530011, 530588, 533467, 535366, 535752, 535836, 538033, 538428, 542848, 543185, 546823, 552989, 554076, 557177, 558151, 558435, 560508, 562103, 563287, 567421, 567487, 567487, 567604, 567773, 569573, 570772, 572119, 573744, 576591, 578838, 578865, 580029, 582471, 583413, 584990, 590979, 591768, 592160, 592164, 592833, 592837, 592841, 592925, 592930, 594291, 594582, 595375, 595378, 595760, 596009, 596228, 596284, 596394, 598014, 598746, 600281, 600288, 600855, 601255, 601336, 601694, 601704, 602016, 602739, 602995, 603003, 603157, 603577, 603689, 603934, 604884 604886, 605200, 605830.

In addition, a significant number of regressions remain. See the archives of the regression report for more details.

Incompatible changes

A number of DeviceN changes can cause incompatibility. They are summarized below.

* gx_color_index may now be 32 or 64 bits, determined at compile time.

* The gx_device_color_info field has been updated to include
  significantly more information about the encoding from colors in the
  process color model to gx_color_index colors. New fields include:
  polarity, gray_index, separable_and_linear, comp_shift, and comp_bits.
  Devices are strongly encouraged to set these new fields correctly.
  See gxdevcli.h for more information.

* Some existing device procedures for color mapping have changed.
  map_rgb_color now takes a cv[] array rather than separate red, green,
  and blue scalar color values, and similarly for map_cmyk_color.

* New device procedures: get_color_mapping_procs, get_color_comp_index,
  encode_color, decode_color. These device procedures are required for
  devices defining additional colorant planes, and may be desirable for
  finer control over color mapping. See gxdevcli.h and gxcmap.c for
  more information.

Procedures

Fixes problems:
	- Fixing syntax errors and potentially dangerous warnings with MSVC
after DeviceN merge. (lib.mak [1.91]: 2002/08/22 10:00:48 igor)
	- Logic to invoke banding was confused. Banding gets used when the
bandsize is too small for the full page raster. A bandsize of 10000 causes
banding. (toolbin/tests/gstestgs.py [1.12]: 2002/09/04 23:09:12 ray)
	- Provide an implementation of popen for Windows, to avoid the
broken implementation in MSVC++ 5 and 6. This allows pswrite to output to a
pipe on Windows. Fixes SourceForge bug #482038, pswrite does not write to
pipe. (winlib.mak [1.17]: 2002/09/05 08:34:00 ghostgum)
	- Fix : The "Fix: add missing header for isxdigit()." missed the
dependency update in devs.mak . (devs.mak [1.71]: 2002/09/05 08:50:53 igor)

Third and final commit of 7.22 release: bump version numbers to 7.23.
(version.mak [1.50]: 2002/08/07 06:58:53 raph)

Remove unused defines for the gtk client. (macos-fw.mak [1.6]: 2002/08/07
