<h2><a name="Version8.53"></a>Version 8.53 (2005-10-20)</h2>
<p>This is the fourth stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
It contains a few bug fixes and improvements since 8.52, particularly in
the fix for a build problem on AMD64/Windows64 and vastly improved
transparency rendering speed for some PDF's.

This improves the patch
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-September/005717.html
with writing small reals in a fixed point number format.
We did it after Raph's request in Comment #5 of the bug 688167.
But we don't see a visible difference against the old implementation with any viewer.
Therefore we believe that we shouldn't have done it (as we did before the implementation).
Storing it now mainly for archiving purpose.
If this change causes a problem, the author has no objection for unwinding it.

<pre>
Fix (pdfwrite) : Indexed colors were distorsed with encryption.
DETAILS :
Bug 688313 "pdfwrite : image colors depend on encryption".
The old code applied encryption with a wrong (zero) object id to
the palette of the indexed color space. After a viewer decrypts
the palette with a right object id, colors appear wrong.
1. Use the PS string encoding instead the hexadecimal string encoding
while converting the palette to PDF format (gdevpdfc.c).
It provides a correct work of the part 3 below.
See also part 4 below.
2. Don't apply encryption when adding the palette
to cos object (gdevpdfc.c, devs.mak).
The old code was hacky, and new one is based on a general convention.
3. Apply encryption with a right object id
to the string which represents the palette
when writing the cos object to the output PDF file.
This is an implicit consequence of
using the PS string encoding in the part 1
due to a general convention about
applying encryption when writing cos objects to the output file.
4. Disable writing hexadecimal strings because their
encryption is not yet implemented (gdevpdfu.c).
The generated PDF may become longer in 1-2 kilobytes per palette
due to PS encoding is less effective for palettes.
This could be optimized with implelenting an encryption method
for hexadecimal encoded strings in pdf_put_encoded_hex_string,
and undo the part 1. The method should apply 3 filters :
hexadecimal string decode, arc4 encode, hexadecimal string encode,
because cos object stores strings in the outer format.
Delaying this optimization for better times.

The test case executes cshow or kshow with intrevene changing
the current color space, causing a color load callout from fill_with_rule
_after_ the callout completes. After that the check
ctile->depth == dev->color_info.depth in gx_pattern_cache_lookup fails

Fix (pdfwrite) : Skip a clip path, which is set by setcachedevice (continued after July 28 205).
DETAILS :
Bug 687678 "pdfwrite : A Type 3 character cut-off".
Bug 688327 "incorrect masking fill in pdfwrite".
The old patch for this problem appears to define a too weak
condition for recognizing a clipping set by setcachedevice, sectachedevice2.
Now we think that a special stuff for this condition isn't needed because
the condition may be united with the contition for "setcharwidth" :
both things need to skip the clipping path, which was set exactly by
setcachedevice, sectachedevice2 or setcharwidth.
Checking the rectangle coordinates is not relevant.
Therefore the change consists of 2 parts :
1. Unwinding the patch http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-July/005625.html (IM1358)
(see also http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-July/005626.html).
2. Remowing the (control == TEXT_SET_CHAR_WIDTH) check from pdf_text_set_cache,
so that the "caching" clipping path will be skipped in any case.
Will add Bug688327.ps to comparefiles.

Fix (PS interpreter) : Allocate gs_screen_enum in same space as its components.
DETAILS :
Bug 688330 "A dangling pointer in gx_screen_enum.".
The old code allocates gs_screen_enum in current memory space and frees to
the memory space of its components, which is obtained from
the 'setscreen' operand (the spot function).
In the test case the first memory space is local, and the second one is global.
We guess the last statement became true after a recent change to the PDF interpreter.
This patch allocates gs_screen_enum in same space as its components.
The pritotype of zscreen_enum_init has been changed due to no method for
obtaining a space attribute value for iref from a gs_memory_t instance
(well, generally it is impossible, but one could solve if the memory
allocator is a PS interpreter's allocator except stable ones).
We noticed that components of gs_screen_enum have pointers to memory
allocator structures, but don't list them in the related memory descriptors.
We're not sure whether a memory allocator structure may relocate or not -
our investigation through code didn't give an unique answer.
For now we leave component descriptors as they were before the patch.

Optimizing the transparency compositor.
DETAILS :
Bug 688255 "ai7 pdf fails on 7.03, runs for ten + minutes on 8.51".
The old code always allocates a transparency buffers for entire band.
The new code accounts group bbox to minimize buffers.
Due to that buffers appear empty for many of bands.
The time consumption for the test case of the bug 688255 is dropped in about 100 times
(from 8000 seconds to 71 seconds on a 3.07GHz machine, measured with debug build).
1. The transparency bbox computes in pdf14_begin_transparency_group from
the group bbox and the CTM (gdevp14.c).
2. Handle an empty buffer pdf14_buf_new, pdf14_pop_transparency_group (gdevp14.c).
3. Fixed a bug in the rectangle clipping in
pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle, pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle_ko_simple.
The old code didn't sense it because bbox always covered entire band (gdevp14.c).
4. Write the bbox to clist in c_pdf14trans_write and read it in c_pdf14trans_read.
5. The pdf14 compositor needs CTM to transform the group bbox to the device space.
Forced the writing of CTM to clist before writing the compositor in clist_create_compositor.
(Sorry, it appears some ugly due to pcte->type->procs.write creates a body
of a command, but we need to create a set of two commands;
Another minor optimization - a narrowing the set of bands - is delayed,
see comments in code in clist_create_compositor) (gxclimag.c).
6. New functions cmd_write_ctm_return_length, cmd_write_ctm are factored out for (5)
(gxclpath.c, gxclpath.h). This part of the change is algorithmically eqiuivalent.
7. Minor change : fixed coding style of "} else {" in gdevp14.c .

<h2><a name="Version8.52"></a>Version 8.52 (2005-10-07)</h2>
<p>This is the third stable release in the 8.5x series of Ghostscript.
It contains numerous bug fixes and improvements, particularly in the
area DeviceN (spot color) handling and the PDF interpreter.
<p>The pdfwrite device can now create PDF/X-3 compliant documents
using the lib/PDFX_def.ps prefix approach. See <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#PDFX">
Ps2pdf documentation.</a>
<p>Also new is a Beta version level 2 Postscript output device, ps2write,
which generates high-level PostScript including text and images and
graphics. We encourage its use instead of the older pswrite when Level 2
PostScript is desired. Please send any comments or problem reports to
<a href="mailto://bug-gs@ghostscript.com">bug-gs@ghostscript.com</a>
or submit it to <a href="http://bugs.ghostscript.com">http://bugs.ghostscript.com.</a>

<blockquote>
<pre>
Two changes needed to fix a single bug. First, the GC 'limit' logic was
collecting too frequently. Second, the PDF ICCBased colorspace logic was
repeatedly creating a ReusableStreamDecode filter for the DataSource
element. Fixes bug #687117 for customer #850.`
DETAILS:
The 'limit' value used to trigger a GC process was sometimes set to a
number smaller than the 'inheritied' value. This resulted in a GC scan
on every interpreter loop past the gc_signal check.
Even with this fixed, the file ran slower than the -dNOGC case because
the PDF interpreter 'csset' logic would set the ICCBased colorspace that
would create a new ReusableStreamDecode filter from the DataSource on
every 'Do' of the many images used to paint the logo (line by line).
The reusablestreamdecode logic would allocate a 64000 byte string (only
3144 bytes of which were actually retained) so after about 8 images the
allocations would exceed the limit and another GC would run (freeing up
the space used by those 8 large strings and 7 of the small ones along
with miscellaneous stuff).
The fix for the second issue was to check if the ICCBased colorspace
had already been 'resolved' (was a dicttype instead of a procedure that
was an indirect reference). Since the initial processing of the ICCBased
colorspace created a ReusableStreamDecode filter for the DataSource we
are able to skip all of this preparation logic.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES.
None (except a speed increase). The regression I ran reduced from 9000 sec
to 8700 sec.</pre>

Fix (pdfwrite) : Improve DCT compression quality with a hewristic choice of DCT encoding parameters (continued 2).
DETAILS :
The first patch for the subject defined an incorrect condition for matrix diagonal domination.
In same time, the regression test tool detected differences on Linux, which are not appeared
while testing on Windows. We found out that Windows and Linux builds apply
different DCT encode parameters.
We guess that the reason is that the patched code accesses
the [2][3]th element of a [4][3] array. Such element doesn't exist theoretically,
so the effect may be compiler dependent (rather we're wonder what exactly does it access on Linux,
because [2][3] is still inside the array memory area).
So now we fix the incorrect condition and then will check regressions again.

The "fonts with Subtype = /TrueType" and "Embedded font uses undefined proc"

point as well with this approach that only gives the warnings once at the

for the TrueType font issue it might make it easier to figure out which
fonts are missing (and thus substituted) since each font is only listed

Fix handling of EOD sequences when decoding CCITT data with EndOfBlock
false. Bug 688306 for customer 780.
DETAILS:
Although the PLRM implies that the CCITT EOD sequence(s) will not be present
when EndOfBlock is false (the default is 'true'), Adobe Acrobat will create
PostScript with EOD sequences after the CCITT even when EndOfBlock is false.
There was a comment in the CCITT decoder about this, but once 'rows_left'
went to zero, any EOD sequence was not consumed by the CCITTFaxDecode filter.
The fix checks for and consumes any trailing EOD sequence even when the
EndOfBlock parameter is false. IMHO, this is a really sloppy behaviour
by Adobe Acrobat since they seem to just copy the CCITT data from the input
PDF, but explicitly put EndOfBlock false even though the PDF did not have
the parameter to the filter (defaulting to EndOfBlock true).

path after the 'concat' done by 'cm' is straightforward, but since the path
may not be used, there may be coordinates that are WAY out-of-range after
an arbitrary 'cm' so we execute the 'uappend' inside a 'stopped' context.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
None. I did a check of all PDF's in the regression suite -- none had

4. gx_device_pdf::objname stores the last name for (3).
It is being saved and restored in the substream stack.

Fix (garbager) : Provide a method for relocating a parameter string and use it in the pdfwrite device.
DETAILS :
We occasionally detected that gdev_pdf_put_params wrongly handled the OPDFReadProcsetPath parameter :
the old code modifies the next field after gx_device_pdf::OPDFReadProcsetPath.
It happens because c_param_write assumes the parameter type is gs_param_string
(and doesn't check it neither at the compile time, nor at runtime),
but the actual field type is gs_string, which is smaller in 4 bytes.
When we fix the type of gx_device_pdf::OPDFReadProcsetPath,
a problem appears in the garbager descriptor : a warning about a type cast appears.
Analyzing it so far we found that in this case the garbager may relocate "persistent" parameter string,
which is not allocated in the heap.
For fixing the latter we define a new garbager method igc_reloc_param_string
and few accessors to it, and use them in the gx_device_pdf memory descriptor.
We choose this way because we know that other devices need same method for separation names.
This patch consists of 2 parts :
1. The enhancement for the garbager, which also moves the definition of gs_param_string
to the scope visible the garbager. This part modifies the files igc.c, igcstr.c, gsparam.h,
gsstruct.h, gstypes.h, igcstr.h
2. The improvement for the pdfwrite device, which modifies other files :
gdevpdfb.h, gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfu.c .
Other devices may need a revision.

Type 1 hinter : Improve the criterion for stem recognition.
DETAILS :
Bug 687727 "Type 1 hinter : A horizontal line condition maybe too strong".
Patch from Igor Melichev.
1. Many fonts, including URW TimesRoman, needs to apply alignemnt zones
to upper or lower corners of a glyph. An example is '1' in TimesRoman.
This patch detect upper and lower corners as local extremes by Y,
and pass them to t1_hinter__find_zone.
2. After the change (1) we detected, that the document comparefiles/LD.pdf
renders much worse. Analyzing it so far, we detected that the top of the left vertical arm
of 'm' applies same hint as horizontal arc stems. To avoid this,
this patch computes a "stem boundary quality", which is the tangent of the stem boundary,
and use it as a priority for choosing a pole for stem alignment
(the lower tangent, the higher priority).
After the change (2) we detected that most Genoa test render differently.
The reason appears that the old code erroneusely aligned a diagonal pole
of the character 'm', which is placed between the right vertical arm and
the nearest upper arc stem. This patch fixes that due to other (right) poles
get a better priority, but to our apologies this progression causes
numerous differences in rasters.

Fix for 688275 Overprint problems in Display driver - Gs 8.50 and Gs 8.51.
DETAILS:
The cause of the problem was that gx_default_get_bits_rectangle did not
properly handle a situation in which GX_RETURN_POINTER was not specified
for a get_bits operation. The overprint logic is one of the few situations
in which this option is not specified. The display device is one of the
few situations that uses the default get_bits logic. This is the second
problem that has been found in this combination.</pre>

This patch debugs soft mask groups.
1. The pdf14 device appears to use soft mask Background converted into DeviceGray.
We believe it is incorrect, but we don't want to fix it now.
To provide the correct data for high level devices we added a new field
GrayBackground, which keeps the Background color converted into DeviceGray.
Background now keeps the original Background, specified in the blend color space.
2. Do not use gsave-grestore when creating a soft mask with .begintransparencygroup,
because high level devices need to modify the graphic state with storing the sift mask ID.
The new code uses currentcolorspace-setcolorspace instead gsave-grestore.

Fix (device intervace, PDF interpreter) : High level devices need to know whether the mask is an image or a group.
DETAILS :
This is the fourth preparation for fixing the bug 687168
"(pdfwrite) Transparency as a high level object"
A high level device needs to know whether a transparency mask is
a group or an image. To provide this data we split the operator

Fix (pdfwrite) : Handling transparency as a high level objects.
DETAILS :
This is an initial commit for the high level handler to pdfwrite.
It fixes the bug 687168
"(pdfwrite) Transparency as a high level object"
It defines a new distiller parameter HaveTransparency.
When it is false (default), the behavior is equivalent to the old one -
the transparency is being converted into a plane image.
The value true only works with CompatibilityLevel>=1.4 .
In this case transparency is being written to output as high level objects.
The writtemn objects are not necesserily repear the structure of the
input document, because the PDF interpreter performs some simplifications,
which can't be recovered by the pdfwrite device.
The main conversion happens in gdevpdft.c . See comments in there.
Two new resource types are being added - resourceSoftMaskDict,
resourceGroup. Doing so to allow a further optimization
with merging duplicated objects of such types.

Partial support for a compressed %rom% iodevice. It is enabled by
adding romfs.dev to FEATURE_DEVS in the top-level Makefile.
This also includes a C commandline-utility 'mkromfs' that takes
a directory and creates a compressed image of it as a file. Currently
the %rom% iodevice in gsiorom.c reads this directly.
The compressed image is a list of paths with offset pointers,
each offset pointing to the beginning of a series of zlib-
compressed blocks comprising the file. This gets us pretty
good (typically 50% or better) compression of the support
files while still allowing relatively fast seek and random
access.
TODO:
1. Have mkromfs trace through the include directives in lib/
so that only those postscript files required by Ghostscript are
included, the same as geninit does now. Resources/ and fonts/
can still be included as-is.
2. Have mkromfs (or a separate tool) general a C file (or sequence
of them, so the data can be compiled directly into the Ghostscript
executable. And of course modify gsiorom.c to pull its data from
there instead of a literal file.
3. Integrate mkromfs into the build system and replace the existing
geninit code. Setting COMPILE_INITS=1 in the top-level Makefile
should automatically construct and compile in the compressed image
and enable the romfs FEATURE_DEV
4. Switch to a b-tree for the block pointer index, so that file
access remains fast if someone dumps in a huge number of Resources
or fonts. Right now it does a linear search, which is fast enough
for the current complement but will cause a problem as some point.</pre>

DETAILS :
This is a fix for a part of the bug 688065
"incorrect handling of type 1 fonts at 0 0 scale",
which relates to "1 0 scale".
The case "0 0 scale" was fixed earlier.
With degenerate CTM the old code fails with 'rangecheck'
due to the hinter logics needs an inverse CTM.
However some documents set "1 0 scale" to compute text width.
The new code does render a text with degenerate CTM with no hinting.
We could implement an optimized algorithm for this with
a simple rendering of a line which is a projection of the glyph,
but we have no engineering resources for this optimization.
We believe that such optimisation isn't much useful.

Fix: /SP pdfmark must synchronize the clipping path.
DETAILS :
Bug 687558 "Wrong clipping path with /SP pdfmark".
This patch consists of 2 parts :
1. A hack for synchronizing the clipping path in 'pdfmark'.
We need to use a hack, because the implementation of 'pdfmark'
is based on the device method put_params, and
there is no regular way to pass the imager state or the clipping path through it.
The hack paints something outside the device bbox,
so that the painting doesn't appear in the output.
2. An improvement to the pdfwrite device,
which skips a stroking, if it appears entirely outside the clipping box.
That improvement appears some imperfect due to a compatibility
to the hack (1) - see comment in code. The imperfection is
the synchronization of a clipping path when a document strokes outside
the clipping box. We believe that such cases are rare,
so the imperfection isn't important.
A progression appears while a charproc accumulation :
the old code accumulated strokes outside the bounding box
set by 'setcachedevice', but the new one does not.
The new one appears compatible to Adobe Distiller 5.

The filling algorithm : optimize paths with many subpaths.
DETAILS :
Bug 686996 "Orientation has massive effect on render time".
It fills a path consisting of 4440 subpaths,
each of which is a quasi-rectangle
(or a rectangle with a fixed_fraction noise).
If a path has over 50 subpaths,
we try to merge subpaths by common vertical lines.
This works around a poor 3d party software,
which generates a path as a huge number of contacting rectangles.
An additional complexity happens due to the sample document defines multiple
quasi-colinear lines instead colinear ones. An example : {{362254, 42905},
{362253, 204152}} and {{362253, 42881},{362253, 204152}}.
We believe that with a huge number of contours the precision of the rendering
doesn't need to be so strong as with a small number.
Therefore we replace quasi-colinear lines with colinear ones.
Another smart point is which pairs of lines to be checked for colinearity.
Obviousely checking all pairs would be too slow. Probably we can assume that the
Postscript writer orders rectangles by the trasversal direction, so
colinear pairs appear in the path within a small window, which roughly is the
number of spot holes multiplied by 4. (Well, one can construct a worse path,
but unlikely it is practical). This patch hardcodes few arbitrary
constants, which may need further improvements.
See commnmets in code for more details.

PDF interpreter now processes ToUnicode CMaps when the target device is pdfwrite.
DETAILS :
Bug 685335 "PDF interpreter doesn't process ToUnicode".
The PDF interpreter now converts ToUnicode CMaps into FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode,
which PS interpreter passes to high level devices,
and the pdfwrite device converts it again into ToUnicode.
Therefore re-distilling a PDF file with GS|pdfwrite
preserves the searchability. Before now it was lost.
Currently this stuff works only when the output device is pdfwrite.
Doing so to save the processor time with raster devices.
In future the condition in .processToUnicode may need an enhancement.
We found that some documents define ToUnicode incorrectly.
For now we skip cases, in which ToUnicode is defined to a name,

Fix : Unconforming line join.
DETAILS :
Ghostscript Bug 688126 "Wrong line join".
1. The old code applied a bewel join while flattening a curve.
Such behavior appears incompatible to Adobe CPSI 3010.105.
Language.htm said that it was done with .setcurvejoin
for a compatibility to Adobe implementations.
We believe that modern Adobe implementations are not such,
and therefore we change the default value of .setcurvejoin to -1,
which actually disables a curve join by default.
The documentation is being updated accordingly.
2. Since round join always paints a full circle (see comment in add_round_cap),
and since such circle doesn't appear when CPSI paints a flattened curve,
we conclude that round join isn't applied to flattened curves.
Therefore we change the condition in gxstroke.c
to replace round join with bevel join for flattened curves.
Note that PDF 1.5 requires to paint a "pieslice-shaped figure",
rather than PDF 1.4 and PLRM3 does a round.
Thus, GS code appears some obsolete, and we'll open a
separate bug 688269 about that.

Fix : Ignore XUID if Metrics[2] has been changed.
DETAILS :
Bug 674418 "093-01.ps : Wrong text".
When a fong is being cached, the metric data for a glyph is being taken from the cache.
If a font have a valid XUID, the XUID is used as the cache key.
Consequently, if Metrics[2] has been changed after a font is cached,
the font renders with the wrong (unchanged) metric.
This patch checks whether another registered font has same XUID
and another Metrics[2] dictionary. If so, the XUID is dropped,

Fix for 688052 Segv with test file for 687980 and the psdcmyk device.
DETAILS:
The 'put_param' routines for the routines which implement the handling of
the SeparationOrder, SeparationColorNames, and the MaxSeparation device
parameterswere always resetting the number of device components
(num_components in the color_info structure) when they were called. This
can cause problems with the PDF 1.4 transparency since the transparency
processing can have its own process color model. The fix involves only
changing the number of device components when one of the three device
parameters changes value. This should only occur at the start of a page.
The PDF 1.4 process color model is only active during the processing of
a page.</pre>

Fix (ps2write) : Some of Widths elements could be missed.
DETAILS :
This is the fourth partial fix for the bug 688169 "ps2write : text dissappears".
It relates to Comment #6 of the bug 688169.
Some elements of Widths array could be missing if the encoding defines
several codes for samne character, and only the first code is used.
The old code scanned Encoding and put a Metrics dictionary element
for each element of Encoding. However Encoding could contain dummy
elements witrh the value 0, and the value 0 replaced an useful value defined earlier.
This fix assumes that ps2write renames glyphs if they have several occurances in Encoding,
and more than one occurance is used. Under this assumption,
if only one occurance is used, other accurances will get the value 0
(using exactly 0 in this case is another ps2write feature being assumed here).
So is Metrics already has a non-zero value, it shouldn't be replaced with zero,
and the logic is pretty simple : don't replace non-zero values.
This patch causes ps2write progressions :

Fix undefined in -get- caused by previous (1.38) patch that ignored zero
length tables in TT font. Previous fix for 687457. Bug 688220 for customer
580.
DETAILS:
Some tables, such as 'glyf' are required by the ttf code even if they are
zero length. The 687457 bug omitted these tables since their position is
arbitrary, but they could cause false 'overlap' conditions, potentially
truncating a non-zero length table to zero length. The simplest solution
is to place all zero length tables at offset 0 (the offset is arbitrary
for zero length tables).

Fix handling of Some Type1C (CFF) font subsets where the tables may not
be completely contiguous. Seen with PDFs created by pdflib. Bug 688216
and 688040 for customer 562.
DETAILS:
The example subset CFF had the "Private" data about 30,000 bytes after
the end of the previous (CharStrings) data. While we try to process the
CFF file sequentially, there is no reason we cannot skip bytes. If we
encounter a CFF where positioning (backwards) is required, we will have
to further change the code to set us a "ResuableStreamDecode" file so
we can replace the "pos sub nextstring pop" with "f fileposition" which
will work forwards or backwards.
A CFF that requires this will get an error when loading the font from the
-string- operator (rangecheck). Since we have not seen one yet, we will
wait until this surfaces.</pre>

The problem was caused by an error in evaluting a sampled function with

as being (1 << bps) - 1. This calculation has a problem on x86 CPUs
when bps is 32. No shifting is done and the result ends up being 0

Fix (ps2write) : Embed standard fonts, which use extention glyphs due to encoding conflicts.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for the bug 688169 "ps2write : text dissappears",
which is related to the problem with ADOBE1-4.pdf .
When Widths array defines several widths for same glyph,
the PDF interpreter duplicates glyphs inserting extended glyph names.
However if the font name is standard, the font was not embedded and the
extended glyph names were missed. This patch forces embedding
the fonts what have extended glyph names.
This problem doesn't happen with pdfwrite, because it collapses
extended glyph names back to original ones.
Note that there exists a case, in which a font has extended glyphs but
they are not used in the document. In this case the font embedding is not necesary,
but ps2write does embed it. This happens because the current architecture
does not allow to detect such case, because the decision about a font embedding
is being made before a text is processed. Dalaying it until the end of the text would
need to delay object ID assignation for the font descriptor and for the font file.
This change would be too deep, so we don't do it now.
If an user strongly needs to minimise the output when
a standard font uses extended glyph name,
we recommend to perform a 2-pass distillation :
the first pass computes exact font subsets,
and the second pass won't receive unused glyphs.
We believe that such need is pretty rare.

Fix for 688206 rangecheck in --setcolorspace--. Actually there is a

The lookup table for this color space should contain 256 bytes. Instead it
contains 768 bytes (3 times the needed number of bytes).
The PDF 1.6 specification on page 233 (section 4.55) says:
The color table data must be m x (hival + 1) bytes long, where m is the
number of color components in the base color space.
Thus having 768 bytes is an actual error for this case.
Apparently Acrobat 6.0 ignores this error since it does not complain about the
file.
Since Acrobat accepts these files, I have modified the length test to
accept any look up table which has the needed number of data bytes.

Cast color components to type gx_color_index before shifting when
composing a chunked index color in gx_default_rgb_map_rgb_color().
Partial fix for bug 688204.
DETAILS:
Without the explicit casts, color components were only promoted to
the default int type before the shifts were applied. On 32 bit machines
this means that 16 bpc output generated nonsense, shifting the high
channel entirely out of the word, and only promoting to a 64 bit type
on assignment. With the explicit casts, the promotion to a 64 bit type
(assuming a 64 bit gx_color_index) happens first so that the shift logic
is correct for deep devices.
With this change the "24 bit RGB" default mapping works for 48 bit
color as well as for other spaces in-between. 24 bits remains special
cased; rough benchmarking showed no significant advantage to special
casing 48 bits as well.</pre>

Fix for 687989 PDF to any format raises /invalidfont in /R21. The test
file was created by an imposition program.
DETAILS:
The given file (the one with the four pages imposed together) has:
1. A Page dict with form Xobjects and the /R21 font is not in the
Resources/Font dict.
2. The Pg3 form XObject has the /R21 font in the Resources/Font dict.
3. /R19 is a Type3 font. There is not a Resources entry in the dict. This
font uses both the /R13 ExtGState and the /R21 font.
To find the /R13 and the /R21 resources, Ghostscript is first looking in
the /R19 font. Since it is not present (no Resources in /R19), Ghostscript
then searches the Page dict. Once again the resources are not found and then
the InvalidFont error is generated. (Ghostcript is silent about the missing
ExtGState /R13.)
From page 391 of the PDF REference, version 1.6 on the entries in the dict for
a Type3 font:
"Resources dictionary (Optional but strongly recommended; PDF 1.2) A list of
the named resources, such as fonts and images, required by the glyph
descriptions in this font (see Section 3.7.2, "Resource Dictionaries"). If any
glyph descriptions refer to named resources but this dictionary is absent, the
names are looked up in the resource dictionary of the page on which the font
is used. (See implementation note 64 in Appendix H.)"
This implies that Ghostscript is following the correct path for finding the
resources /R13 and /R21. (However one can make a case for a 'liberal'
interpretation of the spec. that implies that the form XObject resources
should also be checked.)
This fix checks the current resources when the Resources dictionary is not
present in a type 3 font.
I do not know why Acrobat 6.0 Pro does not find /R13 but does find /R21. If
Acrobat is not checking the Resources for the Pg3 form XObject then it should
find neither. If it is checking Pg3 Resources then both should be found.</pre>

Fix : A global restore was applied at save level 1.
DETAILS :
Bug 688157 "'invalidrestore' in pkmraw -r72 -Z?$@ tpc2.ps".
Bug 688161 "A dangling pointer with pkmraw -r72 -Z?$@ -c false 0 startjob pop -f - <113-01.ps".
The last patch appears incorrect. This one fixes that.
Bug 688157 happened because
tpc2.ps failed with 'invalidrestore' because
the global restore was applied at the level 1.
This happened because the last but one patch
appears incomplete - after that change the check for 'global'
in alloc_is_since_save become incorrect.
It assumed that mem->saved == save && mem->saved->save_level == 1 implies
save->state.save_level == 0. But with the last but one patch not it doesn't.
Bug 688161 happened due to same check, because alloc_is_since_save
is also used in restore_fix_stack to fix string and file objects,
which exist on stack and which would become invalidated due
to the restore. 'zrestore' do not check such objects on estack
(restore_check_stack is called with 'false'). Such objects appear when
'startjob' is called from a command argument (and establishes
a save level 0), and later another command line argument
is executed with '.runstdin', which executes .subfiledecode
at save level 1 and keeps the filter object on estack while
.runexec works (keeping the file for .runexec2).
So running the file 113-01.ps invoked 'exitserver', which executes a 'restore',
which unwinded the file object, and caused a heap inconsistency
(because restore_check_stack is called with 'false')
due to estack keeps the unwinded file object.
This change replaces it with (as we believe) the correct and simple check :
save->state.save_level == 0 /* Restoring to save level 0 */
which restores the consistency of restore_fix_stack to restore_check_stack.

Fix : A global restore was applied at save level 1.
DETAILS :
Bug 688157 "'invalidrestore' in pkmraw -r72 -Z?$@ tpc2.ps".
With the last patch memory problems gone avay,
but tpc2.ps failed with 'invalidrestore'.
We found that the global restore was applied at the level 1 -
a guess as a rudiment of code before NOOUTERSAVE is code.
When tpc2.ps issued a restore, with neither startjob nor NOOUTERSAVE
it appears at level 1 (due to gs_init.ps executes 'save')
but at that moment dstack contains some dictionaries,
created by the document. Those dictionaries cause 'invalidrestore',
because they are created after the 'save' issued by gs_init.ps .
At first time we wonderewd why this problem doesn't happen with
other documents. The answer is : they don't keep dicts
on dstack when execute the outermost 'restore'.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Fixes 'invalidrestore' in tpc2.ps .

Fix : Dangling pointers due to 'restore' left an internal save level.
DETAILS :
Bug 688153 "Reference to free object : ppmraw -r72 -Z?$@ Bug687489.ps"
Running :
gs sOutputFile=t.ppm sDEVICE=ppmraw -r72 -Z?$@ Bug687489.ps"
got :
Reference to free object 0xaf9e40(100), in chunk 0x3eca48!
The reason is that a gs_show_enum instance was created in some 'save' level,
and when it is released the 'save' level appears a higher one and the
memory manager left it unreleased until a further 'restore' does that.
However that instance pointed to a gx_path instance with a bigger 'save' level.
So when the garbager was invoked, the gs_show_enum instance had a 'path' field
pointed to a structure, which was already released by a 'restore'.
Analyzing it so far, we found that 'save' and 'restore' may
leave an extra level on the 'save' stack. More precisely,
alloc_save_state sometimes creates an "invisible" 'save' level,
which appears on the 'save' stack, but it has no save id and
it doesn't add to the 'save' level counter. The problem happened
when 'restore' finds its 'save' stack element. In that case
alloc_find_save returns the second additional 'save' stack element,
rather than the first one created by 'save'. Therefore
a consecutive execution of 'save restore' could add
one element on the 'save' stack (without increasing the save_level counter)
and cause dangling pointers as explained above.
We believe that the bug lived in alloc_save_state.
Really, a comment in alloc_save_state reads :
/* Do a second, invisible save. */
and in same time the code makes the first 'save' to be invisible,
and moves the id from the first 'save'. Thus the code does not
comply to the comment. We believe that the comment is correct,
and the code is buggy. Therefore we change the code so
that the second (internal) 'save' to be really invisible.

Bug 688145 "Segmentation fault : normal 244-01.ps (pkmraw/300/noband)"
The patch
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-June/005567.html
appears incomplete.
This ine fixes that.
1. gs_image_common_init must not change penum->memory since it is set by
gs_image_enum_alloc for a compatibility with gs_image_cleanup_and_free_enum.
2. gs_image_enum_init is removed from the graphics library interface
because after the change (1) it becomes potentially harmful.
We noticed that the PCL interpreter never calls it directly,
so making it be local against a potantial harm.
3. The memory argument of gs_image_common_init has been removed
because it became unuseful.
4. We notice that gs_image_common_init initializes an instance of gs_image_enum,
and gs_image_begin_typed initializes gx_image_enum_common_t.
We wonder with the assymmetry of using the word "common"
in these identifiers. It appears much confusible.
For now leave them as they are, rather we'd like to clean them up.

1. The ps2write device is a clone of the pdfwrite device.
We define a new file gdevpdfb.h and move the device static data to there
as a device template (gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfb.h).
2. pdf_open_document now writes out the copy opdfread.ps and few encodings
(gdevpdfu.c).
3. Propagated a return code from pdf_open_document.
4. A new device parameter OPDFReadProcsetPath handles a list of
files to be copied in the step (2) (gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdf.c, gdevpdfu.c, gdevpdfp.c).
5. pdf_close writes out the 0x04 character when working in the ForOPDFRead mode
and OPDFReadProcsetPath is set.
6. A number of makefiles are changed to include the ps2write device.
7. In lib\gs_pdfwr.ps added the handling of distiller parameters with ps2write device.
8. In lib\gs_pdfwr.ps added an automatic setting of the OPDFReadProcsetPath
device parameter for ps2write.
9. Added a new script ps2ps2.bat, which invokes Ghostscript with the ps2write devices.
The old script ps2write.bat still invokes the Ghostscript with the pdfwrite device
in the ForOPDFREad mode. It helps to debug ps2write with generating a PDF file
in the ForOPDFRead mode.
10. In the documentation added references to the new files lib/ps2ps2.bat, src/gdevpdfb.h .
(Develop.htm, Psfiles.htm).

ps2write : A named resource maintenance.
DETAILS :
Since named resources (such as psdfmarkBP) may be used on any page,
they conflich with the viewer resource management discipline,
which drops resources per page. This patch implements an exception
for that discipline.
1. (opdfread.ps) At page end don't drop resources marked with /.Global .
2. (opdfread.ps) Handlinging Form XObject.
3. Provide the /.Global mark for those resources,
which are used in a named resource. (dgevpdfj.c, gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdtw.c).
4. The flag pdf_resource_t::global marks resources,
which are used while accumulating a named resource object stream,
to provide (3) (gdevpdti.c, gdevpdfx.h).
5. gx_device_pdf::accumulating_a_global_object is added to designate the
state for (4). It is saved and restored while enterin or exiting a substream
(gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdfm.c, gdevpdti.c).
6. Removed 'const' from some function pritotypes to allow
pdf_add_resource to set pdf_resource_t::global (gdevpdfi.c, gdevpdfo.c, gdevpdfx.h).
7. Minor change : improved a condition for writing the /.CleanResources flag (gdevpdf.c).

Fix to allow CCITT data without EOFB when EndOfBlock is true (the default)
to return normal end-of-file (EOFC) status instead of ioerror (ERRC) as
long as the row count given by Rows is satisfied. Bug 687973.
DETAILS:
This bug was reported by a potential customer. The fix is minimal and
returns EOFC instead of ERRC if the count given by Rows has been read.
This seems to be the closest to what is implied by the Adobe description
about EndOfBlock in that the filter WILL continue to process data past
the Rows value if EndOfBlock is true (the default) as long as no error
is seen. This means that PostScript programs that depend on this action to
consume extra data will still operate correctly.

Fix for 688113 null ptr crash in gdevp14.c. With the -rXXXxYYY switch
specified and high resolution PDF 1.4 transparency files, GS would crash.
DETAILS:
The logic for deteriming band sizes was being bypassed if the -rXXXxYYY
switch was specified on the command line.
Specifying resolution on the command line was forcing the calculation of
band size. This occured before the determination that PDF 1.4 transparency
was being made. The band size was not being recalculated when the
determination was being done. The fix consists of including the
'page_uses_transparency' as part of the logic for determining when the
band size is recalculated.</pre>

Fix (pdfwrite, ps2write) : Wrong shading coordinates when converting to PDF 1.2 .
DETAILS :
1. Do not write "W n" when cvd->has_background == true,
because we do not write a clipping path in this case.
2. When a shading is being converted into a bitmap with a downsampling,
coordinate formulas in gdev_pdf_fill_path were wrong.
The new logic is :
sx,sy := the bitmap offset;
Scale down the color and the CTM;
Scale down the path to be filled;
The pdf_lcvd_t instance performs a shift of the shading coverage path with
path_offset := {sx,sy};
A sacale up and shift back matrix is written into PDF as a 'cm' argument.
{m.tx,m.ty} is same as the bitmap offset {sx, sy};
3. gx_dc_pattern2_has_background must account whether the shading
is instantiated with a shfill. In this case Background is being ignored.
4. In R_tensor_annulus, the assignation of curve[i].straight
was wrong when the patch boundasries applied a cyclic shift
with 'inside'.
5. In patch_fill, the computation of the shading contour sign was not correct.
Rather it gave a right sign for most cases,
we replaced it with a right general formula
(assuming a non-self-overlapped patch).

DETAILS:
The PDF overprintmode can be used to specify overprinting when the value
of an input color is zero. The problem was caused by an error in
determining when an input color was zero. The problem was only apparent
with a 'binary' halftone. Ie.e one in which on a single component is
being halftoned. The earlier logic would overprint all components which
were not being halftoned. The example case involved 100% black and 50%

Fix (pdfwrite, ps2write) : Shading background was missed in PDF1.2 .
DETAILS :
Bug 688109 "pdfwrite : shading background can erroneusly disappear".
1. A new function gx_dc_pattern2_has_background allows to know whether
a pattern color has a background.
2. If it has, when converting a shading to a bitmap, entire bitmap
is being filled, so the shading coverage is trivial,
and it doesn't need to convert into a masked image or
into a clipped image. Implemented with defining a new flag
pdf_lcvd_t::has_background .
3. Minor change : defined the identifier pdf_lcvd_s .
4. In gdevpdfb.c, applied lossles filters to an image,
if it is not big. The old code did in the
ForOPDFRead mode only. So now it works for pdfwrite.
It improves the view of patterns (including shadings),
rather the compressed iomage size is bigger.

to shadings (distorsions appear at patch boundaries and/or
at the shading coverage boundary).

Fix : 'setcachewdevice' must always clip characters.
DETAILS :
Bug 688096 " setcachedevice must clip characters".
'setcachedevice' establises a clipping box when rendering a glyph to a cache.
In same time, when rendering with no caching, the old code did not clip.
As a result, some glyphs were clipped, and some others were not,
depending on the glyph size.
This patch clips Type 3 and Type 10 charactrers when rendering with no cache,
and behaves as the old code with other font types.
We doing so to optimze the performance using the assumption that
"outline" (FontType != 3 && FontType != 10) fonts must not paint outside FontBBox,
which to be used for clipping in those cases.
Besides that, the patch rounds Type 3 and Type 10 charactrer
coordinates when renderingh with no cache, to provide
an uniform coordinate assignation with the cached mode.
The patch defines a new variant CACHE_DEVICE_NONE_AND_CLIP,
which is defined almost for clarity. Actually the code never
checks for this specific value.

DETAILS :
Bug 688103 "The dashing direction depends on the initial device CTM determinant".

The patch computes initial_matrix_reflected = true iff
the initial device CTM has a negative determinant.
Then it is accounted to orient stroke outlines
to a proper direction : they must form positive contours in the user space.
For doing so we properly orient dash caps
in gx_stroke_path_only_aux, and then compensate it in line_join_points.
Several local function prototype were changed to pass

<pre>
Partial fix for 687814 dithering artifacts. The given test file shows
some faint halftone dots in the background when rasterized using the
bmp256 device.
DETAILS:
The problem is caused by a combination of factors that aggravate the
situation plus some things in the color look up logic that cause minor
errors in the calculations.
The aggravating factors:
By default, Ghostscript uses a 16x16 halftone cell for low resolutions,
i.e. below 150 dpi. (I do not know the reasons why and it seems like a
poor choice to me. However for now, I am not changing the halftone.)
The bmp256 device utilizes a 6x6x6 RGB color cube. Thus there are 1281
levels ((16 x 16 x 5) + 1) for each halftoned colorant. This gives a step
size between each level of 0.00078. Thus even very small errors in the
calculations become visible as faint halftone dots.
The given test file is using a CalRGB color space. The WhitePoint is
[ 0.9505 1 1.089 ] which is the standard D65 white point. However with
the given CalRGB parameters and a pure white RGB input (1 1 1). the
resulting XYZ is [0.9505 0.99999 1.089] which has a very small error in
the Y value. (However the error is small enough that one would not expect
it to be visible.)
The calculations in Ghostscript's halftoning logic for determining the
halftone level truncate values. With an RGB process color model, this
means that only a pure white is not halftoned. Thus the small error
mentioned in the previous paragraph becomes visible. Note: The truncation
effects work the other way in a CMYK process color model, which is why
we do not see this problem with shades that are nearly white in CMYK
halftoned output.
The calculation errors:
To save CPU time, the color look up logic did not interpolate table
entries which were closer that 0.01. Thus output values could have an
error as large as 0.01.
The color look up logic clipped table entries to the specified output
range. This can cause errors with interpolated values when the interpolation
involves one table entry that is clipped and one entry that is not clipped.
The changes in this fix:
The calculations that determine the halftone levels was modified. Actually
it was simplified. Prior to the DeviceN changes (in revision 8.00) there
were three separate calculations for halftone levels. There was a separate
calculation for Gray, RGB, and CMYK color spaces. Revision 8.00 changed
the halftoning to be based upon the device's process color model (instead
of the color space) and merged the RGB and CMYK calculations. The two
separate calculations were kept to minimize regressions during the DeviceN
effort. This change basically keeps the logic that had been used for Gray
process color models. This version of the calculation does not have the
truncation problems that were present in the RGB/CMYK calculation. Another
simplification was removal of some logic that was checking for additive
versus subtractive process color model. Once again this logic was present
only to minimize regressions compared to pre 8.00 results. The final
result is that this calculation is much simpler, faster, and gives a better
result.
The 'do not interpolate' criteria was reduced to 0.001. Once again this
can add to the CPU time.
Changes which are not in this fix:
The clamping of look up table entries was not changed. Changing this
requires that the we would have to clamp the output after the table lookup.
The errors are small but they are large enough that problems are still
seen with the bmp256 device and a 16x16 halftone cell. There are several
different paths through this logic and thus the probability of creating
worse errors is relatively high. This change would add slightly to the
CPU time but is required to get the correct result.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
This change produces small changes in the halftone levels. The changes in
the 'do not interpolate' value affects many files which use CIE or ICC
color spaces. Between these two changes, this fix affects 165 files.</pre>

pdfwrite creates a Type 0 font for wrapping the CID font according to the PDF standard.
Doing so, the old code created a single type 0 font for all occurances of

Fix for 688048 ijs driver broken in 8.51 for ProcessColorModel=Gray versus 8.50
DETAILS:
There were a few minor problems with the gdevijs.c file.
1. The file has been corrupted with extra ^M's at the end of lines. (These
cause problems with the MSVC debugger since MSVC gets confused about which
source line is being debugged.. They can also cause problem with the Borland
Compiler.) This a reoccurring problem and I am getting tired of seeing it.
Unfortunately they are not visible in the diff shown below or in the MSVC
debugger.
2. The routine gsijs_read_string_malloc has some problems. The call to
gs_free has str as a parameter when it should have been *str. (str is a
pointer to a pointer.) This is the major cause of the reported problem.
The routine only released the old string when the new one needed to be
larger however it always allocated a new string. Since this is non GC memory,
this causes a leak.</pre>

Fix (pdfwrite) : Uninitialized variable when encrypting a string from a pdfmark.
DETAILS :
Bug 687809 "pdfwrite: A wrong encryption of bookmarks".
This bug may become another classic example,
which demonstrates a bad coding style.
The function s_PSSD_init incompletely performed the action,
which it is designed for. The reason is that the macro
s_PSSD_init_inline was made especially for optimizing
scan_token, and its name doesn't reflect its action.
When coded s_PSSD_init, its action was forgotten.
As a result we've got an indeterministic behavior.
This fix renames s_PSSD_init_inline into s_PSSD_partially_init_inline
for a better reflection of its action, completes s_PSSD_init,
and makes the letter be public for a regular initialization.

Fix (pdfwrite) : font file objects encryption was broken when worked on ps2write.
DETAILS :
Bug 688045 "gs 8.51 cannot create encrypted pdf file correctly".
1. With CompatibilityLevel == 1.2 did not create an uniquie font name.
Removing pdf_begin_fontfile and open the data stream
with reserving the object ID before font name is being computed (gdevpdtb.c).
Detected occasionally, and it is not related to the bug.
Fixed to establish a correct order of processing,
setting a proper context for other changes.
2. pdf_write_embedded_font must not set DATA_STREAM_ENCRYPT
because the font object is being written into the temporary file pdev->streams.
It will be encrypted when copyed from the temporary file to the output file.
See comment in pdf_begin_encrypt.
The old code actually encrypted it twice, what is equivalent to no encryption.
We guess it was broken while working on ps2write,
due to writing font descriptor object before font file object.
3. pdf_write_cmap had same problem as pdf_write_embedded_font.
4. pdf_write_contents_cid2 had same problem with CIDToGIDMap.
5. In pdf_encrypt_encoded_string, the PSSD filter did not move
the cursor of the underlying stream when closing by EOD.
We believe that it worked when it was coded,
and we guess it was broken relatively recently.
As a workaround, setting close_at_eod = false,
because this mode appears to move the underlying stream.
We didn't analyze why PSSD moved it a long ago and doesn't longer move now.
6. pdf_write_cid_system_info_to_stream must not encrypt
when called from pdf_write_cmap due to (3).

Speed up shadings : fixed a crash with unlinear color devices.

Bug 688050 "C stack overflow with 464-01-fixed.ps (pbmraw/72dpi/noband)".
Bug 687948 "Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00" (a 7th partial fix).
The C stack overflow happened due to quadrangle_color_change
didn"t account the quadrangle size, causing an infinite
subdivision in case of a non-contiguous color function.
This happened with unlinear color devices only,
because otherwise the quadrangle was mapped to
a linear color fill device function, which doesn"t
perform a subdivision by color.
1. Passed the quadrangle size information to quadrangle_color_change.
2. Used it with unlinear color devices.
3. Trying to use it with a linear color device doesn`t
give a speed up. Disabling this branch
but saving it for historical purpose.
4. Inserted a check against the C stack overflow to
simplify the debugging and the diagnostics.

Speed up shadings with optimizing fn_Sd_is_monotonic.
DETAILS :
This change is a fifth partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
Implemented a new function fn_Sd_1arg_linear_monotonic,
which optimizes fn_Sd_is_monotonic in the case of
1-argument linear sampled function.
It doesn't use the pole cache and the tensor-based algorithm,
saving significant time from the cache allocation,
which otherwise happens once per shfill.
We would like to optimise 1-argument cubic sampled function.
For now delaying it due to the absence of practical cases
which need a high performance.

Faster shadings with setting a stronger clipping box.
DETAILS :
It's another partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
The old code computed a shading clipping box
as an transform of the shading BBox
to device coordinates. However with a rotation matrix
it significantly expanded the box,
so that more shading parts appear inside the paint region.
The new code sets clipping box equal to the bbox
of the clipping path, so that the rasterization
covers a smaller part of the shading, and the
shading becomes faster.
SHADING_FILL_RECTANGLE_PROC changes the prototype.
The new prototype adds a clipping rectangle in device coordinates,
which provides a stronger clipping of the paint region.
Probably we could drop the old argument "prect",
but leaving it untill the NEW_SHADINGS cleanup.

Faster shadings with a better function monotonity check.
DETAILS :
It's a partial fix for the bug 687948
"Performance of shading fill much worse than 8.00".
If an axial or radial shading use a sampled function
with many samples, the shading speeds up in 1.2 - 2.5 times.
1. The old code returned an unknown monotonity when the
interval covers several cells of a sampled function.
The new code summarizes the monotonity through multiple cells.
Rather shadings need 1- and 2-dimensional functions only,
we developed an N-dimensional algorithm for
a future use with color spaces and color renderings.
1.1. Generalized the function sample cache to linear functions
(the old code cached cubic ones only).
1.2. Made the branch POLE_CACHE to be permanent.
1.3. The new function is_lattice_monotonic
summarizes the monotonity through multiple cells.
1.4. The virtual function is_monotonic
now returns a mask about a monotonity by each coordinate.
2. The shading decomposition is adopted to the new monotonity check.
2.1. When decomposing a patch into stripes,
the color monotonity doesn't matter,
because further decomposition accounts it.
2.2. When decomposing a quadrangle,
the decomposition axis is being chosen according
to the function monotonity along each axis.
3. In the shading decomposition,
cached the monotonity separately from the linearity
with a new flag linear_color.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
A minor difference in shading color with all devices and resolutions :

<pre>
Fix: use identity matrix (rather than scaling by font matrix) to prepare
parameters for CDevProc procedure in pdfwrite code path. Fixes bug
#688033.
DETAILS
The problem in the 688033 test file was that the CDevProc procedure
for the font was getting called with values that were already scaled
down by .001, even though the PLRM3 says "all of the numeric values
are expressed in the glyph coordinate system of the font." (5.9.2,
p. 350)
My proposed fix is to pass in the identity matrix, instead of the font
matrix, to the gs_default_glyph_info procedure. This patch was tested
with both the 688033 test file and the test file from 687681, which was
the bug that motivated the changes to pdfwrite CDevProc handling. The
patched code also passed a full local regression.</pre>

<pre>
Fix for SEGV when PreserveHalftoneInfo=true is given as a pdfwrite
option. Bug 688018.
DETAILS:
The initial problem was that the num_comp was not being looked at
when HalftoneType 5 was written and if num_comp was 3, the 4th
element of ht_ids[] was being used (UMR-wise). The solution to
this was to only write the three halftones and to use the 'Green'
halftone (arbitrarily) for Default.
After fixing the SEGV, another problem surfaced because the object
dictionary was not being terminated with the ">>".
Since I suspected that the threshold_halftone writers were also
broken I tested with 258-01.ps and found more problems. This
code was also quite broken. Since the Threshold array is the
stream data for HalftoneType 6 and 16, I changed this a lot to
emit valid PDF.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
None, since we don't set PreserveHalftoneInfo.</pre>

<pre>
Fix for 688019 /configurationerror in --setpagedevice--. The PDF
interpreter was incorrectly determining the size of the page.
DETAILS:
The test file specifies the following media box:
/MediaBox [ 0 1080 1620 0 ]
The PDF 1.6 specification says the following about media box rectangles:
"3.8.4 Rectangles
Rectangles are used to describe locations on a page and bounding boxes for a
variety of objects, such as fonts. A rectangle is written as an array of four
numbers giving the coordinates of a pair of diagonally opposite corners.
Typically, the array takes the form
[llx lly urx ury]
specifying the lower-left x, lower-left y, upper-right x, and upper-right
coordinates of the rectangle, in that order. The other two corners of the
rectangle are then assumed to have coordinates (llx, ury) and (urx, lly).
Note: Although rectangles are conventionally specified by their lower-left and
upperright corners, it is acceptable to specify any two diagonally opposite
corners. Applications that process PDF should be prepared to normalize such
rectangles in situations where specific corners are required."
The PDF interpreter was assuming that the MediaBox and the CropBox were
in the 'typical' form. This fix consists of creating a pair of procedures
for converting rectangles into the typical form and then using the
procedures.</pre>

<blockquote>
<pre>
Conveys input tray selection info (/ManualFeed and /MediaPosition)
setpagedevice requests to PCL devices. Fixes bug #687899.
DETAILS
1. The behavior of MediaPosition is changed significantly. Previously,
it was ignored (i.e. omitted altogether from setpd merging). Just
adding it to setpd merging would not be good - if set at the PS
level, then it would get checked for equality at the C level (by
zmatchmedia), and fail horribly if it didn't match. In accordance
with the PLRM3 text (it will be honored provided it can satisfy the
normal media matching), in the new version a mismatch simply adds a
.001 penalty to the matching score.
2. The ljet4 device now contains ManualFeed and MediaPosition fields,
with appropriate putparams logic to set them.
3. The MediaPosition and ManualFeed strings now create an ESC & l H
init string, according to the following logic. ManualFeed sends
ESC & l 2 H; if ManualFeed is false (or not set), then MediaPosition
0 sends ESC & l 5 H, and MediaPosition1 sends ESC & l 1 H. If none
of these are set, then no extra init string is generated.
Obviously, for this feature to be useful, there needs to be an
InputAttributes dictionary in effect, for which the PageSize of
positions 0 and 1 match the PageSize of the setpagedevice request.
[Actually, if only ManualFeed is desired, then there is no need to
fiddle with InputAttributes].
I think these changes bring our media selection more in line with
what Adobe intended, and could be useful for embedded PS projects as
well. I believe the risk of unwanted changes is small, but considering
the delicacy of the setpagedevice logic, review and testing is
warranted.</pre>

<pre>
pdfwrite : Implementing a viewer's resource memory control, part 1.
DETAILS :
This patch implements a primitive viewer's resource memory control.
A new device parameter MaxViewerMemorySize specifies the number of bytes
available for storing resources in the viewer's memory.
This parameter defined almost for future extensions.
Currently we distinguish two cases only : if the parameter is greater
than 10000000 bytes, no resource control is being applied,
i.e. pdfwrite assumes that the viewer can store all resources of entire document.
Othervise pdfwrite assumes that the viewer can store resources of a single page.
In the second case pdfwrite cleans internal resource caches after each page,
so that any new resource usage will generate another resource instance
in the output PDF file.
To inform the viewer that the resources may be cleaned,
we add a new key to a page contents stream dictionary.
This is our extension to the PDF specification in order to control
the resource management in the viewer.
The new key name is /.CleanResources.
Currently we provide only the value /All. It means that resources
may be cleaned *after* ending the contents stream.
In future on necessity we can split a page contents stream into substreams
and provide a finer control by resource types with providing
more values for the key /.CleanResources.
When the viewer is informed with allowing to clean resources,
it is not obliged to do so. Further resource appearences simply replace
old ones, if they have same resource name.
Actually now this happens only with font and CID font resources.
Other resource instances may persist in the viewer's memory until
the viewer's garbager frees them when they are not
referred from resource tree dictionaries.
The resource control is mainly intended for ps2write.
An implementation of the viewer's side (in opdfread.ps) will be a separate patch.
Note that when a resource control is being applied,
the output document size may increase significantly.
Currently we don't add MaxViewerMemorySize to user's documentation,
because it depends on another undocumenmted parameter ForOPDFRead
through the ResourcesBeforeUsage flag. First we need to take a decision
whether ps2write will become a new Ghostscript device or it stays a tool
represented with a script. The latter gives more flexibility to users
about composing the header procsets of the generated Postscript document.

Fix : LZWEncode filtyer template didn't provide a set_defaults method.
DETAILS :
A problem happens when converting comparefiles\PT.ps with ps2write :
an encoded stream could not decode. The reason is that pdf_flate_binary

ps2write : Convert shadings into a clipped image (continued 4).
DETAILS :
Implement a downsampling when converting a shading into bitmap.
1. A new device parameter MaxShadingBitmapSize controls the downsampling.
Shadings, which give a (uncompressed) bitmap over the specified size,
will be scaled down.
2. The scaling algorithm goes to gdevpdfd.c .
It appears pretty tricky because we need to setup a device with a smaller
resolution than the target device. Due to that we need to scale paths and colors,
which are represented in the device space. The function scale_path works for it.
3. The scaling creates a local copy of a device color (which handles the shading)
and scales the color. Since we can't access further spatial transformations of the color,
we apply some unusual operation : multiply matrices in the reverse order
than usual 'concat' does. This makes some useful equations to be soluble
due to the offset is being scaled as well.
4. A code portion was copied from gx_default_fill_path
(see comment in code).
We're unhappy about uncomfortable code structurization.
5. path_scale is implemented with floating point for a debug purpose,
but in production we use only integers being a power of 2.
6. There is a problem with
<</PatternImagemask false /MaxClipPathSize 12000 /MaxShadingBitmapSize 100000000>>
The problem happens when dividing the scaled bitmap in smaller ones
due to clip path overflow. This mode to be debugged separately.
For now set either smaller bitmap size of bigger clip path size.
Default settings work fine for most cases.

When FitPages is defined in the target device,
the opdfread procset scales pages for a better fitting
into the page size.
Note thet if both options are specified,
the procset first rotates and then scales a page.
No rotations happen if a page fits with no rotation or
if a rotation doesn't improve the fitting.
Rather the RotatePages option looks similar to
the distiller parameter AutoRotatePages,
it affects a PS interpreter in the target printer
rather than the distiller in the ps2write host.
Thge implementation accounts /.HWMargins,

Fix for 687434, 687835, and 687982. These reports are /vmerror in
--eofill-- or --fill--. They are caused by the pattern accumulation
device trying to allocate excessively large buffers.
DETAILS:
The pattern accumulation device allocates an image buffer for holding
patterns. The size of the pattern buffer (prior to this fix) is based
upon the bounding box specified with the pattern. For the problem files,
the pattern bounding boxes are excessively large. The vmerrors are the
result.
This fix consists of comparing the pattern bounding boxes to the size
of the page to be imaged. (All of the files have bounding boxes which
are much larger than the page.) We determine which part of the pattern
will actually be used and limit the pattern accumulation to the area
which is needed. Most of this fix consists of stepping the pattern to
check the intersection between the pattern and the page. The major
complication in this process is simply due to the arbitrary transform
matrix which can be applied between the coordinate space used to define
the pattern and the coordinate frame of the output page.
This fix significantly reduces the buffer sizes required for these
test files. However it is still possible for a pattern buffer to
exceed available memory. It is possible to create a solution using some
version of a band list. However my estimate on that task keeps getting
larger as I look at the details.</pre>

Fix : Coding style and MSVC8 warning in gsciemap.c .
DETAILS :
This change is algorythmically equivalent.
The old code applies macros to generate 3 expressions like this :
(8 >= ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) :
(10))) ? (((pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10)))] +
(frac)(((long)((pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))) + 1] -
(pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ?
((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10)))]) * ((int)(tabc[0]) & ((1 << ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ?
((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))) - 1))) >> (((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) :
(10))))) << (8 - ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10)))) :
(((pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10)))] +
(frac)(((long)((pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))) + 1] -
(pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
[((tabc[0]) >> ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10)))]) *
((int)(tabc[0]) & ((1 << ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) :
(10))) - 1))) >> -(8 - ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) :
(10))))) >> (((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))))
(the other 2 ones replace "[0]" with "[1]" and "[2]").
We gues that MSVC8 is not enough intelligent to prove that the static (sub)expression
((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))
is always within the interval [0, 10] and therefore it claims a possible error.
This patch replaces it with a dynamic constant 's',
so that the warning doesn't appear.
In any case we believe that the huge expression above isn't a
good coding style since humans need to read the code sometimes.
For ones who wish a further simplification,
we're happy to bring some useful definitions :
XXX = ((((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) < (10)) ? ((1 << 2) * 8 - 9 - 2) : (10))
YYY = ((int)(tabc[0]) & ((1 << XXX) - 1))
ZZZ = ((tabc[0]) >> XXX)
TTT = (pcrd->caches.EncodeABC[0].fixeds.ints.values)
Using them the expression reduces to :
(8 >= XXX) ? ((TTT[ZZZ] + (frac)(((long)(TTT[ZZZ + 1] - TTT[ZZZ]) * YYY) >> (XXX))) << (8 - XXX))
: ((TTT[ZZZ] + (frac)(((long)(TTT[ZZZ + 1] - TTT[ZZZ]) * YYY) >> (XXX))) >> -(8 - XXX))

<pre>
Fix for 687696 PDF 1.4 transparency can use large chunks of memory.
Prior to this fix the handling of PDF 1.4 transparency features used one
or more full size image buffers. With high resolutions and large images,
these buffers can be multiple gigabytes. As a result, we were not able
to handle these files.
DETAILS:
PDF 1.4 transparency is handled by a device which is inserted into the
device chain. Prior to this fix, this device was via the 'device filter'
logic. With this fix, the PDF 1.4 transparency device is inserted via
the compositor device mechanism. This change was made since the device
filter logic did not allow other devices to control where the PDF 1.4
transparency device is placed in the device chain. There is a device
proc which implements the create compositor action. This allows more
control than the device filter logic.
The first step in this fix was to convert the PDF 1.4 transparency
logic to use the create compositor mechanism. For situations in which
the clist logic is not being used, the PDF 1.4 transparency device is
created and placed in the same location in the device chain as it was put
by the device filter logic. In this situation, there is very little
logical difference in the operation of the PDF 1.4 transparency.
For situations in which the clist is used, there are two PDF 1.4
compositing devices created. There is one device before the clist when the
clist is being written. There is a second device after the clist when
the clist data is being read.
The device before the clist serves two purposes, it provides a means for
implementing the process color model for the PDF 1.4 compositing. (The
PDF 1.4 compositing may used a different process color model from the output
device.) Thus this device has color_info and encode/decode color procs
which match the PDF 1.4 blending color space. This device also ensures
that the PDF 1.4 blending parameters (blend mode, shape, opacity, etc.)
are passed through the clist to the second PDF 1.4 device.
The second PDF 1.4 device (the one when the clist is being read) is the
same PDF 1.4 compositing device which is used when the clist is not being
used. This is the device which does the blending operations. Since the
device is after the clist, the buffers that it needs are the size of a
single band instead of the full page. This device is placed prior to
the memory device which is used for drawing the raster data.
Two changes were made in the 'create compositor' logic. The imager state
was being passed as a 'const'. It is no longer const since the PDF 1.4
transparency compositing changes the cmap procs in the imager state to not
use transfer functions during color calculations. The transfer functions
are applied later (and the cmap procs restored) when blended image data
is output from the PDF 1.4 compositing buffers.
The second change to the create compositor logic is the addition of two
more procedures to the gs_composite_type_t.procs list. These procedures
are used by the clist device create compositor routines. The first
is used to create the PDF 1.4 clist write device. The second saves and
restores the color_info field for the clist device (see below).
Default versions of the added gs_composite_t.procs were also added for
use by the other compositor devices. The defaults are no-ops.
The clist logic has a few changes. Since the PDF 1.4 compositor device
may use a different process color model from the output device, the number
of colorants and the depth (bits per pixel) can be different for the PDF
1.4 compositor and the output device. Thus changes were needed in parts
of the clist logic which assumed that these items were constant during the
processing of the clist. An extra field was added to the device halftone
to indicate the number of colorants in effect when the device halftone was
created. This data is included when the halftone is serialized for the
clist. (Fortunately the PDF 1.4 compositing does not use halftones or
transfer functions. So the device halftones and transfer functions do
not need to be changed when the PDF 1.4 compositor is installed.)
As previously mentioned the create compositor procedures for the clist
writer and reader now call a couple of compositor specific routines. These
allow the compositor to implement actions related to the clist device.
(The PDF 1.4 compositor uses these routines to create the 'write clist'
PDF 1.4 compositor and to save and restore the clist device color info.
The color_info field of the clist device is changed to match the process
color model of the PDF 1.4 compositor while the PDF 1.4 compositor is active.
A additional device parameter (PageUsesTransparency) was added. This
parameter is sent by the PDF interpreter to indicate if PDF 1.4 transparency
will be used on the page. The banding/no banding decision and the size
of a band includes an estimate of the size of the PDF 1.4 blending buffers
if this parameter is true. Note: The estimate of the size of the
blending buffers is not exact since this calculation is made before the
actual number of buffers, the number of blending colors and alpha channels
is known. Fixed values are used for the estimated buffer size. This is
still much better than the pervious situation, in which the only the
output raster size was being used. The blending buffers can easily be
30 or more times larger than the raster buffer.
This fix also involves the removal of the PDF 1.4 'marking' devices.
The marking devices were used to actually implement the pixel marking.
The marking devices were created at the start of each high level drawing
operation and deleted after the completion of the operation. The marking
device action has been merged into the primary PDF 1.4 compositing device.
This change eliminates some device creation overhead. The overhead would
have been worse since most information about high level drawing operations
is not passed through the clist. As a result it would have been necessary
to create marking devices for each low level operations.
The following issues are not included in this fix but need to be considered.
1) The device filter logic is no longer used. It may be desired to remove
this logic.
2) We currently have a 'create_compositor' device proc. However there
is not a 'delete_compositor' device proc. As a result, compositor devices
can stay in the device chain even when they are no longer needed. The
current fix turns the PDF 1.4 compositor into a 'forwarding' device. This
is the same method used by the overprint compositor device. I do not like
leaving these devices since there is some extra overhead and there may be
possible side effects. (Testing has been done to try to find side effects
and none has been found with the current code.)
3) This change only affects devices which can use the clist logic. This
excludes the 'high' level devices. These include the 'display', 'x11',
and 'pdfwrite' devices. Thus these device will continue to use a full
image buffer. It is possible to extend this fix to use a clist device
for the PDF 1.4 device for these devices.</pre>

Compile Ghostscript for 64-bit Windows with AMD64 processor.
Change the default install directory to "c:\program files\gs".
DETAILS:
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 with Windows Server 2003 DDK,
or Microsoft Visual Studio 8 (.NET 2005 beta) are required
to compile for 64-bits.
Dialog boxes return type INT_PTR not BOOL.
Install to the "Program Files" directory as default,
instead of c:\gs. This allows 32-bit and 64-bit
versions to be installed in separate locations.
For 32-bit GS on 32-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files\gs"
For 32-bit GS on 64-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files (x86)\gs"
For 64-bit GS on 64-bit Windows, "c:\Program Files\gs"
The " (x86)" is added by Windows when a 32-bit program asks
for the "Program Files" folder on 64-bit Windows.
Other languages will translate "Program Files".
The programs still have "32" in their names: gswin32c.exe,
gswin32.exe and gsdll32.dll. They are distinguished from
the 32-bit versions by their install location.
This avoids changes to many batch files.
The registry entries written by the installer do not
conflict between 32 and 64-bit.
For 32 on 32, or 64 on 64, the location is
HKLM\Software\AFPL Ghostscript\N.NN
For 32 on 64, Windows adds "WoW6432Node\" to make it
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\AFPL Ghostscript\N.NN
If the "Program Files" folder has a " (x86)" suffix,
this is used as a suffix on the Start Menu items. This
allows 32-bit and 64-bit GS to be installed without
conflict. The start menu item for 32-bit GS on 64-bit
Windows is "Ghostscript N.NN (x86)".
Building 64-bit GS on 32-bit Windows can be done
by the usual method - either execute genconf.exe on
a 64-bit platform or hand edit arch.h.
A separate patch will fix the display device DisplayHandle
parameter which is currently truncated to 32-bits.
There is a warning from the linker about exports being
defined multiple ways. This is not a problem with the
32-bit compile. This is due to the C code
specifying export and the module definition file
also specifying the export. Removing the function
names from the module definition file would make the
warning message go away, but may affect 32-bit compiles.</pre>

Change display device parameter DisplayHandle from an integer
to a string, to add support for 64-bit platforms.
DETAILS:
The display device passes a (void *) handle to callback functions.
The handle is set before the device is opened, and attempting to
change it afterwards is an error.
The handle may be used by the caller to identify an instance of
the display device, for example it may point to the display instance
object in the caller.
This handle was set using a PostScript integer which is 32-bits long,
typically with -dDisplayHandle.
The existing code will not work correctly on 64-bit architectures.
The display device is changed to return a string as the
DisplayHandle parameter.
Previously the handle would be set using -dDisplayHandle=1234.
The changed code allows it to be passed as
-dDisplayHandle=1234
-sDisplayHandle=1234
-sDisplayHandle=10#1234
-sDisplayHandle=16#04d2
This should be backward compatible, since users of the
display device will most likely only set the DisplayHandle,
not read its value.
The ghostscript example code in dw*.c, dx*.c and dp*.c
does not use DisplayHandle, so is unaffected by this change.
GSview does use DisplayHandle and will require this
change for operation on 64-bit platforms.
It is assumed that size_t is an integer with the same size
as a pointer.

Eliminate a performance problem when a TT font has a large 'loca' table.
A fix for 687889 used .sort on the 'loca' table but this takes a long
time if the table is large. Only run the .sort if the table is out of
order which is rare since the TT font spec requires an in-order table.
Bug 687968.
DETAILS:
Apparently our conversion of the 'japan.ps' file creates a TT font with
a loca table that has 20458 entries (even though the original font
in japan.ps didn't have that many). This is needed because there are
many glyphs that are not present, but we need loca table slots that
represent the missing glyphs (same starting offset as next glyph).
The time was being spent doing the '{ lt } .sort' of the array :-(
I added logic that checked the order as the loca table was converted
to an array so that the .sort could be skipped as long as the table is
in order (which it *should* be for a valid TT font). After this change,
the HEAD time is 1.16 CPU seconds versus 1.08 seconds for gs8.50.
(with the .sort, the time was 257 seconds).
I suppose that we could optimize the .sort (put it into 'C') but
for now I'll just avoid it most of the time.
Note that since the .sort has a procedure callout for the ordering test,
it might not speed up that much in 'C'. That's the other reason that it
is worthwhile to avoid the .sort when possible.</pre>

pdfwrite : Use character codes instead CIDs when creating a ToUnicode CMap.
DETAILS :
Bug 687954 "copy and pasting asian text problems".
The problem depends on what a Postscript printer driver
puts into the GlyphNames2Unicode table.
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented feature, which PScript5.dll uses to
communicate with Adobe Distiller. A long ago from its name
we concluded that it maps character names to Unicode, and it was
confirmed with multiple documents. Now we got a document
(the test case of the bug 687954), which uses character codes instead CIDs,
(CIDs are usually interpreted as "glyph names" in the case of CID fonts).
In the test document CIDs are not equal to character codes due to the embedded CMap
named WinCharSetFFFF-H2. We did not notice this problem before
due to most old documents from PScript5.dll use an identity CMap WinCharSetFFFF-H,
Now we change Ghostscript with using character codes instead CIDs
as keys to GlyphNames2Unicode. We have no technology for a regression test
of the related behavior. We will pass this revision to users in order to study
consequences of this patch from users' responses.

Fix handling of broken TrueType fonts that have a loca table that is not
in order. Bug 687889 for customer 670.
DETAILS:
This is clearly a questionable TT font since the Apple TT font reference
manual clearly states that the length of glyphs can be inferred from
the difference in successive offsets.
Note that the PostScript code only needs to deal with the sorted 'locatable'
in order to decide where to split the glyf strings in the sfnts array
(in the .dividesfnts proc). Otherwise the PostScript code doesn't care.
If the .dividesfnts uses a sorted locatable, but doesn't replace the 'loca'
table written into the sfnts, then the VMerror occurs because the C code
in 'default_get_outline' calculated the glyph_length for the gs_alloc
using loca table entries that might be out of order.
In order to effect the entire fix, I sorted the 'locatable' for the PS
code in .dividesfnts as well as creating a new 'len_glyphs' array in
the gs_type42_data structure that holds the actual glyph lengths.
The glyph lengths are calculated once when the font is initialized in
gs_type42_font_init. If the 'loca' table is in order, then nothing
changes, but if it is out of order, we get the lengths by finding the
next higher glyph offset anywhere in the loca table.
These changes let the file run and show the same glyphs as Adobe Acrobat
Reader.</pre>

ps2write : Implementing a conversion of images into ProcessColorModel, step 1.
DETAILS :
This patch defines overall logic and data exchange for converting images to
ProcessColorModel color space. For a while, the real convertion is stubbed
with conversion into a bitmask (a 1 bit per sample image).
1. When pdf_begin_typed_image calls pdf_color_space,
a failure means that the image can't represent in the output PDF.
Then we setg up a n image color conversion filter with
psdf_setup_image_colors_filter.
2. The function psdf_setup_image_colors_filter currently is stubbed
with etting up the "image_to_mask" filter instead a general color conversion filter.
Implementing the general filter will be the next step.
3. When conversion happens, pdf_begin_typed_image writes
a ProcessColorModel colore space instead the image color space.
Currently it is stubbed with gs_color_space_index_DeviceGray
to comply with the stub in psdf_setup_image_colors_filter.
4. Multiple bugs (mainly the order of bits in the stream,
and row to tyte alignment) have bin fixed in s_image_to_mask_process.
5. We continue to use pdev->OrderResources as a general switch
for the ps2write mode, rather it's not fully correct.
The new code will be useful for pdfwrite with CompatibilityLevel < 1.3,
so later we'll need to remove the switch from pdf_begin_typed_image.

DETAILS :
When applied the last patch,
we decided to convert ICC profile into a CIEBased color space.
But ICC profiles (especially ones coming from PDF documents from wild)
may contain a general lookup table, and a general lookup
table can't convert into M1*T*M2 transformation,
where Mi are 3D linear transformations, and and
T is unlinear 3-component transformation.
Since a CIEBased color space is restricted with
M1*T*M2 transformation, in a general ICC profile

Besides that, the ICC-based method can't apply to DeviceN spaces.
Therefore now we choose another implementation strategy.
Single colors will be converted into low level colors in

ps2write : Allow ICCBased color spaces when writing a ps2write output.
DETAILS :
Since CIEBased is not a PDF 1.2 object, we need to convert it somehow.
One possible way is to write CIEBased into PDF.
We do not choose this way because (1) it will generate an invalid PDF
so that we'll not be able to verify the output with PDF readers;
(2) we have no code for writing a CIEBased color space to PDF or Postscript,
but we do have one for ICCBased.
Another way is to write ICCBased into the ps2write output
and to implement a parsing of ICC profile in opdfread.ps .
We prefer this way since a part of this algorithm (an ICC writer)
already presents in Ghostscript.
Strongly saying, a PDF with ICCBased is not a valid PDF 1.2 document.
But as we noticed before, Adobe PDF viewers simply ignore
pdf level from the document header. So we'll be able to view it
as it is or after a small modification of the header.
We continue to use the flag OrderResources as a general switch for
ps2write mode. Doing so because we still have no
a perfect decision about the list and logics of configuration options.
Later we'll need to bring more order to this field.
Possibly writing a "restricted PDF1.3" would be better that
writing an "extended PDF 1.2".
By the way, pdfwrite appears to have a rudimentary branch
pdf_convert_cie_to_lab, which currently is a stub,
which always fails. We think that this conversion isn't possible
in general due to Lab restricts with a very special class of
transformations. So lakely this branch will never be implemented
and it must always fail.
Please note that with this patch ps2write successfully converts
a smaller class of input files then before it,
because the writer becomes inconsistent with
the reader coded in opdfread.ps . But we do need this step
in the develoipment technology. Actually the files outside the class
were converted into a too long PDF.

BTW, we're unappy of all this stuff,
becauase actually the compression chooser filter doesn't need any target.
A dummy one was inserted only to work around a crash in
s_add_filter, in the check of the buffer size compliance,
and now we fix a problem with the dummy thing.
Maybe a simpler way would be patching s_add_filter
to allow NULL target (I mean no target at all,
rather than a null filter as the target),
but we don't want to modify that fundamental thing,
which is handled by another engineer.

ps2write : Implementing a conversion of type 4 images into an 'imagemask' with a pattern color.
DETAILS :
The mask is being generated with a new 4th alternative stream of pdf_image_writer.
Note it's a completely different way than image type 3.
1. Fixed a typo in 'pdf_image_writer_num_alt_streams'.
2. pdf_image_writer_num_alt_streams is increased to 4,
and added pdf_image_writer::pres_mask.
3. Garbager methods of pdf_image_writer are updated with (2) in gdevpdfj.c .
4. Factored out pdf_begin_image_data_decoded (an equivalent code change).
5. Factored out pdf_end_and_do_image (an equivalent code change).
6. pdf_begin_write_image now may be called at 2nd time to set up the 4th alternative stream.
The branches for mask==true work for that.
7. Implenented a new filter image_to_mask for converting a colored
image with MaskColors into an imagemask (gdevpsds.h, gdevpsds.c).
8. psdf_setup_image_to_mask_filter helps for (7). (gdevpsdf.h, gdevpsdi.c)/
9. pdf_begin_typed_image now creates 4th alternative image stream with
applying the image_to_mask filter - see the branch
"if (pic->type->index == 4 && pdev->CompatibilityLevel < 1.3)".
See comment in there.
10. pdf_image_end_image_data handles the 4th stream
with the branch "if (pie->writer.alt_writer_count == 2)".
11. pdf_choose_compression_cos preserves the 4th alternative stream (gdevpdfj.c).

This is yet another example of PDF's that Acrobat Reader can handle that

'auto-sense' PostScript, EPS and PDF and they can just ignore garbage
before the %PDF header. We don't have that advantage.
We've had previous proposals to operate the way AR does, but this would
require a command line switch to force PDF language mode (akin to the
PJL ENTER LANGUAGE functionality of PCL).

Fix for 687935 rangecheck in stroke while overprinting on the display device.

This fix corrects a problem in gx_default_get_bits_rectangle. The fix
forces the 'actual_data' parameter to NULL when the GB_RETURN_POINTER
option is not included in the parameter options. A value of NULL in the
actual_data parameter forces the get_bits routine to copy data instead of
simply returning a pointer to the data.
The default implementation of overprinting uses the device get_bit_rectangle
proc to retrieve the current pixel data. This one of the few situations that
only uses the 'GB_RETURN_COPY' option to the get_bits routine. (Most cases

Implementing a conversion of a shading to a raster image for high level devices (continued).
DETAILS :
1. In pdf_copy_color_data, allowed the new value 2 for the parameter for_pattern.
In this case non-lossless filters are allowed.
2. In gdev_pdf_fill_path, fixed the grouping of clip paths for all
meshes|patches of a shading.
3. In gdev_pdf_fill_path, used the shading BBox to minimize
the size of the raster image.
4. In gdevpdfp.c allowed CompatibilityLevel=1.1 .
Now this is done mainly for debug purpose,
but likely we'll use it in ps2write when the target doesn't handle TT fonts.
5. The new function gx_dc_pattern2_get_bbox works for (3).
6. The function shade_bbox_transform2fixed has been renamed into
gx_dc_pattern2_shade_bbox_transform2fixed with making its scope bigger
to work for (5). It has been moved into gsptype2.c,
which is mode fundamental than gxshade.c .
The following changes happened due to that : gsptype2.c, gsptype2.h,
gsshade.c, gxshade.c, gxshade1.c, gxshade4.c.
We would like to do more cleanup with replacing it with
gx_dc_pattern2_get_bbox, but currently we delay that to simplify this patch.
7. Introduced a new field patch_curve_t::straight to know whether a patch
boundary is a straight line. patch_fill uses it when passing the
shading coverage area.
8. mesh_triangle now passes the coverage area.
An auxiliary function mesh_triangle_rec is factored out for that.
9. patch_fill checks for self-overlapoped patches
and prints a warning is the patch appears suspicious.
Comments in patch_fill about that have been improved.
10. patch_fill and mesh_triangle check the sign odf the coverage area,
and change the contour direction for making all contours be positive.
This works for proper clipping.

1.The device virtual function pattern_manage now handles
a new request pattern_manage__shading_area.
If it returns 1, the graphics library will pass
the shading area as a special call to fill_path,
with passing NULL images\r state and NULL clipping path.
Such call immediately follows pattern_manage(...., pattern_manage__shading_area).
Currently it goes only to a special converter device (see below),
other devices and the default implementation return 0
for pattern_manage(...., pattern_manage__shading_area).
2. A new local type pdf_lcvd_t implements a subclass for
memory device, which is used especially for converting shadings
to raster image. It is defined locally in pdfwrite.
The subcalss redefines 4 device methods :
2.1. fill_rectangle with shifting the device space.
It is used to mapo the shading and its paths to the image coordinate system.
2.2. get_clipping_box returns the target clipping box,
to deceive a cut-off condition in the shading algorythm.
2.3. pattern_manage returns 1 for pattern_manage__shading_area.
2.4. fill_path is used only for handling the shading area.
It sets a clipping when instantiating the bitmap.
3. gdev_pdf_fill_path implements the convertion with (2).
4. gs_shading_fill_path doesn't set up a clipper device
when it works with the shading convertion device.
Instead that the clipping path is being passed through (2.4).
5,. patch_fill in gxshade6.c checks if the devices needs the
shading area, and if so, passes the area throuhg the special call to
fill_path.

(pdfwrite) : Don't skip white color while painting a pattern (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This change is important for ps2write only.
It is algorithmically equivalent for other invocations.
1. The patch http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2005-January/005163.html
broke the OrderResources mode. Fixed in gdevpdfu.c .
This is another fix to that.
2. Removed the hack about writing non-eexec fonts
because PDF specification doesn't allow it.
Rather ps2write can handle them, we use a PDF viewer
to debug the writer.

Fix for an infinite loop in a PDF file that uses Patterns. Bug 687802
for customer #850.
DETAILS:
The problem was that the DefaultQstate used when making a Pattern
was the device *BEFORE* the pdf14 device filter was inserted as
the device. If the underlying device had a different 'depth' than
the PDF14 device, the pattern cache lookup would always fail which
would then cause the fill to return e_RemapColor and perform the
PaintProc again. The 'depth' comparison is in gsptype1.c in the
gx_pattern_cache_lookup function.
The fix is to set the DefaultQstate *AFTER* the pushpdf14devicefilter
is performed (and of course also reset it after popdevicefilter
is done).
Expected Differences:
None (we didn't have any regression tests that use Patterns in pages
with transparency). In fact, we only had two pages with ANY transparency:
ai2.pdf and dina3_watermark.pdf.</pre>

1. If the target device doesn't support Postscript version 2010,
convert Type 42 fonts into bitmap fonts.
2. Ever convert Type1C into bitmaps since Postscript
level 2 can't handle Type 2 charstrings.
3. Convert CIDFontType0 into bitmap if the target device has no
CID system installed or the font has Type 2 subfonts.
4. Convert CIDFontType2 into bitmap if the target device has no
CID system installed or it doesn't support Postscript version 2010.
5. A new device parameter HaveCIDSystem is defined to the pdfwrite device
to provide information for (3), (4).
A new function gs_cid0_has_type2 is defined to implement (3).
Also fixed a header comment gs_cid0_indexed_font, which was entirely wrong.

It is being ignored without OrderResources.
Reserved for future development.
2. pdf_refine_encoding_index allows lesser encodings with OrderResources.
3. MacRomanEncoding and MacGlyphEncoding are still needed for True Type fonts.

Bug 687846 "parenthesis misplaced and text strings too long with vertical text".
The bug title is mosleading - actually all glyphs were shifted,
but parenthesis were shifted in another direction due to a different WMode.
We didn't pass actual glyph width to CDevProc when
use_FontBBox_as_Metrics2 is true - see the patch.

Fix : Unimplemented CIDFont feature with a Type 3 font descendent.
DETAILS :
Bug 645316 Quark EPS file with CID fonts
Bug 687845 text doesn't appear from embedded japanese font
Bug 687847 text missing from CIDFont
From PLRM3 section 5.11 page 389 :
Under special conditions, a CID can be used when the descendant is a Type 3
base font. The font's BuildGlyph or BuildChar procedure is invoked to render a
character whose code is the last byte originally extracted from the show string.
If this procedure executes setfont to establish a CIDFont as the current font
and then executes a show operation on a string consisting of just that character
code, the code is ignored; instead, the CID determined by the earlier CMap
mapping is used to look up the glyph in the CIDFont. This special case exists
for compatibility with applications that substitute Type 3 fonts for base fonts
in a composite font hierarchy to achieve certain special effects.
This patch fixes the PS interpreter,
but pdfwrite processing needs a separate improvement,
which is described in the new bug 687875.

The bug title above is misleading.
Real problem is missing characters and rendering .notdef instead.
This patch improves hewristics for choosing an encoding
for True Type fonts. Obsolete versions of Distiller and Ghostscript
wrote a cmap 1.0 (Macintosh Roman) into a PDF, which really uses a
random encoding. For example, the test case of the bug 687828
encodes Arabian characters with cmap 1.0.
Thits patch prefers to use 'post' table instead cmap 1.0,
when a 'post' table presents, and font resource dictionary
doesn't specify Encoding.
Also improved a debug printing.

Fix : A hang adding over 256 glyphs for a stable font copy.
DETAILS :
Bug 687816 "Hang in named_glyph_slot_hashed".
1. Added gs_copied_font_data_s::num_glyphs to monitor
the current number of glyphs in a stable font copy (gxfcopy.c).
2. copy_glyph_data maintains gs_copied_font_data_s::num_glyphs (gxfcopy.c).
3. gs_copied_can_copy_glyphs checks whether the preallocated
size of the glyphs array doesn't exceed (gxfcopy.c).
4. copy_glyph_data is fixed to return error code when
trying to add a glyph over the preallocated size of the glyphs array (gxfcopy.c).
5. pdf_obtain_font_resource_encoded is changed to handle the case when
new glyphs overflow the font copy (gdevpdtt.c).
The changes above fix the bug, but we also provide an additional optimization
with GLYPHS_SIZE_IS_PRIME 1 (gxfcopy.c):
6. Preallocate at least 257 ghyphs rather than 256 ones by the old code;
This coners a font of 256 glyphs and 1 .notdef (gxfcopy.c).
(Well, that could fix the hang in the sample case of the bug 687816,
but generally there exist other cases due to the font merging,
which require the changes 1-5 above.
7. Use primes numbers for the size of glyphs array instead powers of 2
against unprodactive expense of RAM (gxfcopy.c).
When the changes 5 was done, a regression happened with tpc2.ps :
pdfwrite generated an incorrect PDF. To fix that, we forced to do more changes :
8. pdf_register_charproc_font recieved a gs_id of the PS font instead
the PDF object id. It caused a problem with multiple muster fonts,
because MM instances have same id as the MM font.
pdf_encode_string is changed to pass a correct resource id (gdevpdte.c),
9. Since tpc2.ps generates hundreds of MM font instances, the field
pdf_font_resource_s::u.s.used_fonts may not have a staticly defined size.
replaced with a dynamicly allocated array (gdevpdtf.h, gdevpdte.c).
10. Garbager descriptor for pdf_font_resource_s is changed to maintain (9).
11. A new function pdf_find_resource_by_resource_id is defined for
the correct implementation of pdf_used_charproc_fonts (gdevpdfu.c).
After it another tpc2.ps regression persisted : the character 'y'
dissapperaed in some words. The following changes are done to fix that :
12. Improved thge hash function in pdf_add_subset_prefix (gdevpdtb.c).
13. Defined FINE_GLYPH_USAGE 1 for a better precision of the font subset,
in the case when a PS interpreter callout happens fro CDevProc or for a Type 3 BuildChar
(gdevpdfx.h, gdevpdte.c). Currently it works for non-CID fonts only.
14. Improved the diagnistics for the missed glyph in a Type 1 font (gs_type1.ps).
Actually the last regression reflects another problem in the PDF interpreter,
which is described in a new bug 687856.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :

The distilled tpc2.ps gets 1 progression and 1 regression.
The progression is the glyph width. The regression is an ununiform

<h2><a name="Version8.50"></a>Version 8.50 (2004-12-10)</h2>
<p>This is the first release in the new stable series of Ghostscript.
In addition to many bug fixes it contains numerous new features. Most
obvious will be improved font handling and rasterization, and better
support for PDF 1.4 and 1.5 documents.
<p>
New features since the last stable release:
<ul>
<li><p>
Topological grid fitting,
an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
feature.
<li><p>
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
information.
<li><p>
A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
rasterization on continuous tone devices.
The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
functions.
<li><p>
Better support for running Ghostscript in "Job Server" mode as a daemon
to continually accept and convert a series of independent files.
<li><p>
Also new is the Rinkj deivce, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening
and color profiles to achieve very high quality output for tuned output.
See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
<li><p>
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
<li><p>
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. In this release this support is only enabled as in
the default autoconf (POSIX) and MSVC builds.
</ul>
<p>
This release also has major internal improvements toward thread safety,
although we have not yet reached this goal. Nevertheless Ghostscript
should be more robust when used as a library, and these changes were
an important precursor to complete virtualization.

MacOS platform build cleanup.
DETAILS:
Since the libctx changes, stdio hasn't been directly available.
Therefore we no longer support '-' as a special filename in

to an eprintf() which is more correct in any case.
This change also removes the fprintf() and fputs() implementations
in the MacOS build. Metrowerks CW libc has for some time provided
implementations, but they're even less needed now that we're being

Added macros for assertions:
GS_ASSERT(false)
returns -1 in a release system
asserts in a debug system
GS_DBG_ASSERT(false)
is a NOP in a release system
asserts in a debug system
Both versions will printf to stderr first.
Raw assert() should not be used.
GS_ASSERT will not compile in a void function, as it returns -1.
This means you can not use assertions to change the standard error return
exception handline mechanism in Ghostscript.
You can use them to catch programmer usage errors in a debug build.
gs_misc::gs_assert() is the one place the operating system's assert is called.
This can be modified in a embedded system, again assert is only called in
a debug build.</pre>

Fix: in implementation of n operator in clip mode, put pathbbox in stopped
context so that completely empty paths have the same behavior as paths
with empty bbox, rather than causing an error. Fixes bug #687820.
DETAILS
The test file has a "n W n" sequence, which is a request to clip to
a totally empty path. The error comes from code added to pdf_ops.ps v
1.33 to handle the case where a path is defined but has an empty
bbox. See bug 687136 for more details on this change. Comment #8 of
that bug report suggests that our PDF interpreter always maintains a
currentpoint, which would justify the use of an unprotected
pathbbox. However, that assumption seems to be false. This fix wraps
the pathbbox added in the 1.33 change in a stopped context.</pre>

Add a platform-specific JASPERCFLAGS makefile variable to assist with
proper compilation of the jasper jpeg2k library. Set this variable
correctly in the autoconf build.
DETAILS:
The jasper library natively supports building under both autoconf+cc and
MSVC, but expects a preprocessor define to be set to distinguish the
two. While we do carefully construct a special JAS_CC for compiling the
jasper source into Ghostscript, as with all the other 3rd party
libraries, there is only a facility to set special CFLAGS globally.
This change adds a new top-level makefile variable for passing
platform-specific CFLAGS into gs.mak for addition to that global
set.
Also, set JASPERCFLAGS=-DJAS_CONFIGURE in Makefile.in so that the jasper
sourcr expects the autoconf generated configuration header when
compiling as part of Ghostscript.</pre>

<h2><a name="Version8.33"></a>Version 8.33 (2004-11-20)</h2>
<p><strong>This is a release candidate for the next stable
version of Ghostscript.</strong>
<p>
New features since the last stable release:
<ul>
<li><p>
Topological grid fitting,
an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
feature.
<li><p>
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
information.
<li><p>
A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
rasterization on continuous tone devices.
The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
functions.
<li><p>
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
<li><p>
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
<li><p>
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
</ul>

<pre>
Copies over new-style color procs when making a null device with a
target, to avoid inconsistent states. Fixes bug #687770.
DETAILS
The problem was a null device (for implementing stringwidth) with
inconsistent color info; the color_info struct specified 4 components,
but the get_color_mapping_procs was
gx_default_DevGray_get_color_mapping_procs, which is the desired value
for null devices instantiated through gs_copydevice
(i.e. -sDEVICE=null). As a result, cm_comps[1] through [3] were left
uninitialized, and, when negative, would crash the halftone logic.
This patch copies over the new-style color mapping procs (the
old-style were already copied) in the gs_make_null_device routine. A
strong argument could be made for changing the logic in
gx_device_copy_color_procs() instead, but it was felt that this change
was more localized.
Dan reviewed this patch during a phone conversation, so I am going ahead
and committing. I'm also opening a new bug to encourage a closer look
at other uses of gx_device_copy_color_procs() to see whether a change
there is beneficial or harmful.</pre>

Add utility mkcidfm.ps to create a cidfmap file based on fonts

Change MS-Windows installer to optionally update lib/cidfmap

DETAILS:
Ghostscript does not ship with CJK fonts.
If support for Chinese, Japanese or Korean is added to MS-Windows,
CJK TrueType fonts and font collections are added to the MS-Windows
fonts directory. These can be used by ghostscript by specifying
mapping and aliases in the lib/cidfmap file.
This patch looks in the MS-Windows fonts directory for known
CJK fonts, and if present it appends appropriate mappings or
aliases to the lib/cidfmap file.
The font names and aliases are currently fixed, but can
be changed by editing mkcidfm.ps.
A new checkbox is added to the installer dialog
"Use Windows TrueType fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean"
Only if the user selects this will lib/cidfmap will be updated.

<pre>
Fix for Bug 687459 (SEGV) addressing several problems: (i) Elements
fetched from a font dictionary have to be dereferenced into a ref
since pointers change if the dictionary is resized (to add entries);
(ii) The glyph_cache used by gs_font_cid2 fonts needs to be in stable
memory since elements might be added after a 'save' and the list will
still be refereced by the font, so cannot be freed by 'restore';
(iii) The gs_glyph_cache__release was never being called so creating
a memory leak -- font notification (called by gs_font_finalize) is
now used to free the cache list; (iv) The gs_glyph_cache__release
did not work (probably was never tested since it was not being used).
DETAILS:
Using stable_memory means that the objects created need to be freed
properly, that's why the font_notify mechanism was used. This fixes
the problem reported by the bug and doesn't seem to have created
any other problems (regression test passed).
A 'memory' element was added to the gs_glyph_data_s structure so
that the 'bits' can be allocated using the desired memory (stable
memory in the case that we are using the cache). This was deemed
preferable to always using the pfont->memory->stable_memory since
changing to this might cause other problems. This did create a
fair number of changes since every place the get_outline was used,
the glyph_data structure needed to have the 'memory' element set.
We could have used 'NULL' to signal pfont->memory, but this might
have masked uninitialized memory issues that can be tracked with
tools such as valgrind.
The gs_glyph_cache__release was totally broken, and since it was
not previously used, fixing and testing it presents no risk of
other clients relying on broken behaviour.
The implementation of the cache is VERY RUDIMENTARY -- a linked
list of elements with a hard-coded number (32767) limit to the
size of the cache. The size is too small to be useful for Asian
fonts, but making it bigger will result in a lot of time spent
finding a 'miss' condition. At least the current logic has LRU
slot re-use behaviour (which should be retained). Fixing this,
and making the cache limit larger are left for a later change
(post 8.50 release).

Fix : toolbin/pdfinflt.ps did not decompress some streams (continued).
DETAILS :
The 2nd Patch from SaGS for the bug 687746
"gs\toolbin\pdfinflt.ps doesn't unpack a stream"
The previous patch contained on over-optimization that leaded to a corrupted
operand stack. "{ [ {proc} {proc} ] }" (note: 2 identical inner procs)
can be optimized:
either as "{ [ {proc} dup ] }" - use VM for only 1 copy of "{proc}"
or as "{ { {proc} {proc} } }" - the 2-element array is allocated
only once, by the parser, not at
each execution of the enclosing proc
but we cannot apply both these optimizations at the same time.
This error affects PDF files that include a /Filter and/or /DecodeParams
specified as 1-element arrays. PDFs for which these entries are a single
name (for /Filter) or dict (for /DecodeParams) or arrays with 2 or more

Fix (pdfwrite) : Forget cancelled resources.
DETAILS :
Bug 687749 "PS to PDF generates very large PDF document"
1. An indeterministic bug fixed in gdevpdfi.c, hunk #1.
2. Implemented a recognition of equal patterns in gdevpdfi.c
and provided a PDF pattern substitution.
We caould not provide a substitution in the PS interpreter
because an accumulated pattern instance doesn't point
to the corresponding client color.
3. pdf_forget_resource is applied when a resource is cancelled and
is not longer needed. This applies to all redundant resources except patterns,
because patterns keep the substitution data.
We would like to save memory from substitured patterns with
a special substitution table,
but we have no time for such optimization now.
4. The function pdf_forget_resource is some slow
because the data structure was not designed for
removing resources from lists.
We would like to implement dual linked lists,
but we have no time for such optimization now.
5. Since pdf_forget_resource is not applied to patters,
we need to prevent a big growth of the number of stored patterns.
We implemented pdf_drop_resources for that purpose
and drop all substitured pattrens after 300 ones
have been accumulated, but not frequenter than once per page.
This solution isn't perfect, but should work for most cases.
If a substituted pattern is dropped erroneusely,
it will be accumulated again, maybe causing some slowdown.
6. Implemented a new device parameter PrintStatistics.
The new function pdf_print_resource_statistics
prints a statistics to stdout.

<h2><a name="Version8.32"></a>Version 8.32 (2004-10-26)</h2>
<p>This is the third beta release leading up to the stable 8.5x series.
It contains numerous bug fixes since the last testing release, but
a few outstanding issues remain.
<p>
New features since the last stable release:
<ul>
<li><p>
Topological grid fitting,
an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
feature.
<li><p>
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
information.
<li><p>
A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
rasterization on continuous tone devices.
The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
functions.
<li><p>
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
<li><p>
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
<li><p>
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
</ul>
<p>

Fix (pdfwrite) : Glyph positions were wrong for vertical CID fonts (continued).
DETAILS :
Bug 687603 "vertical text misplaced after distilling", reopened.
Bug 687753 "Text not aligned when viewed with Acrobat Reader", re-testing.
Disposition :
D1. The PDF spec requires X-compomenent of v-vector always equals to half glyph width.
D2. AR5 appears to use W|DW to compute the X-component of the v-vector of WMode 1.
The previous patch fixed most problems, but one left unfixed.
When a glyph is used with WMode 0, and later with WMode 1,
the second usage doesn't store Width and V due to the 'used' flag is already set.
This patch introduces 2 separate sets of flags for WNode 0 and WMode 1.
Changes :
1. Defined a new field 'used2' fro WMode 1 in gdevpdtf.h .
2. Allocated the used2 array, provided garbager methods,
and a resizing on demand in gdevpdtf.c .
3. gdevpdtc.c sets used2.
4. Improved the computation of the v-vector in gdevpdtt.c .
Now pdf_glyph_widths should be conforming to (D1) and (D2).
5. The coordinate adjustment in gdevpdte.c is not longer useful
due to (4). Removed.
6. When writing W, W2, glyphs are being enumerated with used, used2
correspondingly (gdevpdtw.c).
7. The accedd to Widths2 sometimes was incorrect. Now fixed (gdevpdtf.c).
8. gdevpdtc.c misused Widths2 as Widths when storing the WMode 0 width
as a component of theWMode 1 v-vector. Now fixed.

Fix (pdfwrite, PDF interpreter) : Glyph positions were wrong for vertical CID fonts.
DETAILS :
Bug 687753 "Text not aligned when viewed with Acrobat Reader".
Disposition :
D1. The PDF spec requires X-compomenent of v-vector always equals to half glyph width.
D2. AR5 appears to use W|DW to compute the X-component of the v-vector of WMode 1.
Changes :
1. With WMode 1, pdf_obtain_cidfont_widths_arrays obtains both Widths and Widths2 arrays
(gdevpdtf.c, gdevpdtf.h, gdevpdtc.c).
2. For CID fonts gdevpdtc.c computes both WMode 1 and WMode 2 width
when WMode 1 is requested.
3. Due to (D1), must compensate the half width when computing a glyph position
in gdevpdte.c (hunk #2).
4. In gdevpdte.c internal data glyph_origin_shift used opposite signs for
CID and non-CID fonts. Now made uniform.
5. The Type 0 font matrix and the descendent CID font matrix were applied
in a wrong order in gdevpdte.c .
6. To satisfy (D2) when WMode 1 is only requested,
write DW 0 when WMode 1 is only requested.
7. After fixing all above, from the test file of the bug 687753 pdfwrite
generated a PDF, which GS failed interpret due to a curious failure
with e_dictfull while checking for an absent key /File in the font dictionary.
Patched zfcid1.c to provide a tolerance.
Meanwhile we're not sure that it's the best way for fixing that,
so if someone can bring a better method, feel free to improve.
8. The PDF interpreter is patched to comply with (D2) - pdf_font.ps, hunk #2 .

DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
It's a preparation for fixing the reopened bug 687660
"incorrect font rendering/missing glyphs from ps2pdf".
For 1-byte fonts now we allocate a singe instance of
pdf_char_glyph_pairs_t for storing the character list for entire text.
Now it is done once per text as an extention to pdf_text_enum_t.
The intention is to provide an access to it from pdf_find_same_charproc.
CID text is still processed in chunks, which
are delimited by font changes or CDevProc callouts.
It may cause a searchability problem with some viewers,
when converting a composefont with a Type 3 descendent.
But unlikely we'll met such case in practice,
due to we have no exmples of composefont with a Type 3 descendent.
We would like to improve the CID text processing sometimes with
with building a complete character list for a text portion
delimited with font changes. The new algorithm for scan_cmap_text
should be like this : first delimit a single font portion,
then construct the character list for the portion,
and then process the portion with possible CDevProc and charproc callouts.

Fix : toolbin/pdfinflt.ps did not decompress some streams.
DETAILS :
Patch from SaGS for the bug 687746
"gs\toolbin\pdfinflt.ps doesn't unpack a stream"
Current version of pdfinflt.ps uncompresses only streams that have a single
filter applied, and only if that single filter is /FlateDecode. Proposed
patch (attached) ads support for procesing streams with multiple filters.
However, not all decompressing filters can be removed, and not in all cases
it would be desirable to remove them. The /filterstoremove dictionary lists
filters that are to be processed, and omits filters that are to be preserved
in the output. For streams with multiple filters chained together, the new
version of pdfinflt.ps removes all filters from the first in the
decompressing chain up to, but excluding, the first filter that is to be
preserved. The list of preserved filters, with the reason why these are not
removed, follows:
/RunLengthDecode, /CCITTFaxDecode, /DCTDecode:
These are normaly used for compressing raster images. I assume the main
purpose of this tool is to decompress page streams for debugging, and
decompressing images only adds a huge amount of binary data, making harder
to find and examine content streams. If this is not the case, and getting
raw image data is necessary, simply uncomment the lines corresponding to
these filters.
/JBIG2Decode, /JPXDecode:
There's no (standard) PostScript filter that corresponds to these PDF
filters. (I think) GhostScript implements these filters in the PostScript
interpreter, but not for all platforms, so I added some detection code for
them. The preceding paragraph applies too, so I left the lines corresponding
to these filters commented out.
/Crypt (PDF1.5-specific):
This is a generic interface with decryption plug-ins, and has no PostScript
counterpart (and I don't see how it could have one).

Fix (pdfwrite, PDF interpreter) : Correctly handle different widths for same glyph (continued).
DETAILS :
This patch continues a long story about the handling of different widths for same glyph
in a PDF embedded font.
The last patch in this series was
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-September/004834.html
That patch caused a problem with pdfwrite,
which needs to write an original glyph name
rather than a substituted one.
This change establish a new discipnile for
passing the original glyph name from the PDF interpreter to pdfwrite
inside a substituted glyph name, with using an
implementation specific separator (~GS~).
Before writing a font, we apply copied_drop_extension_glyphs
to remove extended glyph names. We don't like to
modify the font, but choose this minimal solution for now.
A better solution would be to introduce another flag to glyph slots
to mark ones, which to be skipped when writing the embedded font.

Since this was UMR related, and affected the clist mode, the jpeg device

different on different platforms.
The premature 'CloseTarget' action when the stream->close_strm was not

Fix for 687706 Display device 8-bit native incorrectly dithers grays.
This is a partial fix and also needs Dan Coby's fixes to the post
DeviceN halftoning. The DeviceRGBK color model is added.
DETAILS:
Prior to GS 8, the display device 8-bit native format would use 32
gray levels to avoid halftoning, and a 4x4x4 color cube which did use
halftoning. The halftoning logic was changed with the introduction
of DeviceN and in GS 8 both grays and colors were being halftoned.
The DeviceRGBK color model is added and used by the display device
native 8-bit format. The RGB color space to RGBK color model
conversion converts pure RGB grays to the K (black/gray additive)
component. This allows the 32 gray levels to be recognised by the
halftoning logic as being sufficient to avoid halftoning.</pre>

Fix for 687718 The tiffsep device fails when the size of gx_color_index is 32 bits
DETAILS:
The comments on bug 687705 "Compile of 8.31 fails on OS/2" point out that the
tiffsep device fails during device initialization if the size of
gx_color_index is 32 bits.
This is due to a recent change which made the default number of components for
this device equal to 8. This works if the size of gx_color_index is 64 bits.
But it fails with 32 bits.
This fix changes the default number of components for this device to be
based upon the size of gx_color_index. It also changes the psdcmyk device
to use the same logic for its default number of components.
This fix also includes changes to doc/Devices.htm which explains that the number
of components will differ based upon the size of gx_color_index (and a link
giving more details on gx_color_index). More information about the parameters
for the tiffsep device is given including an example command line.</pre>

This is a partial fix for 687706 Display device 8-bit native incorrectly
dithers grays. Russell Lang is improving the 8-bit (256 color) display
device to allow more shades of gray. This change is required for that
effort.
DETAILS:
The pre 8.00 release had more gray levels for the 8-bit display device
but the pre 8.00 release had other related problems in halftoning. The
fix for those problems eliminated the extra gray levels.
Russell's effort dug up some problems with the handling of halftones
for devices in which the max_color and max_gray values are different
and gray_index is set to an actual component number. This fix corrects
those problems.
Russell has a patch for the remainder of the effort. His changes
involve changing the 256 color display device to use a DeviceRGBK process
color model: red, green, blue and an additive black (gray). New
device color mapping procs also have been created for this process color
model. (This is the first example of this process color model in
Ghostscript.)</pre>

Fix (the filling algorithm) : Unite trapezoids if they have a common side.
DETAILS :
Bug 687716 "Assertion fails in gzspotan.c".
The spot analyzer can't reconstruct the topology when there are
two trapezoids with a common side.
We patched the spot decomposition algorithm with
uniting such trapezoids, because (1) it's too hard to
unite them in the "spotan" device, and (2)
the post-condition of the spot decomposer simplifies.
For more details see a new comment in code.
This patch causes a rendering difference.
We believe that a big part of differences happens due to the bug 687717,
which is currently unfixed due to the QA overload.
If the bug 687717 is fixed before this patch,
a small rendering difference can also appear,
because we unite trapezoids by the equality of x_current, x_next,
which have an arithmetic error. Therefore ununited trapezoids
may have a pixel center between them, which is not painted,
but shifting a boundary to x_current, x_next the pixel center
may fall into a trapezoid, then it is covered by the union and painted.
Besides that, with dropout prevention, a pixel set for the union of
two trapezoids may differ from the union of pixel sets for ununited trapezoids
when at least one of the trapezoids is narrow.
Particularly, two narrow trapezoids may paint 2 pixels,
but its (narrow) union does a single pixel.
Contacting trapesoids are not regular in characters,
which only use a dropout prevention,
but the test file of the bug 687698 (same as for 687667)
demonstrates some ones in a CJK TT font,
which composes hieroglyphs from subglyphs with a deformation and shifting.

Fix : Pattern metrics was imprecize.
DETAILS :
Bug 687581 "A pattern truncated".
This bug is a regression since the December 09 2003 revision.
We still think that we insufficiently understand the Adobe's method,
but now we've got one closer to CPSI than it was before the December 09 2003 revision.
Particularly the pattern step now appears better than on December 09 2003.
This patch includes a change, which is well defined by the math :
the usage of float2fixed_rounded instead float2fixed.
It is a part of the PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT stuff.
The rest of the patch is a kind of hewristic.
We guessed that a pattern size should always round up to allow
a similar logics as for a clipping - "any part of pixel inside".
As before December 09 2003, we improved the case with neither skewing nor rotation.
A further work on the general case may be useful.
At last, some old problems, which existed on December 09 2003,
are still unfixed. An example is -r300 298-09.ps :
a line appears outside the pattern box.
For now living them as they are, because
the primary purpose of this patch is to fix regressions.

<pre>
CDevProc|Metrics|Metrics2 did not work with CIDFontType 0.
DETAILS :
Bug 687681 "Character spacing incorrect".
The old implementation, which comes from the gs-cjk team,
has a bug accessing the replaced metrics of a CIDFontType 0 font,
which effectively caused the replaced metric to be ignored with CIDFontType 0 fonts.
1. Bug : With CIDFontType 0, CDevProc|Metrics|Metrics2 was searched
in the descendent type 1 or 2 font rather than in the parent type 9 font.
1.1. A Type 9 font needs to be accessed via a descendent Type 1|2 font
in pfont->procs.glyph_info. Added a new field gs_type1_data_s::parent,
and provided an access through it with a new function gs_font_parent.
1.2. Metrics|Metrics2 is now accessed through gs_font_parent.
1.3. To access CDevProc implemented a new function zchar_get_CDevProc,
which also works through gs_font_parent.
1.4. gs_type1_data_s::parent needs to reset while a type 9 font finalization,
due to a reason, which we could not understand for sure.
Likely descendent fonts appear to have a bigger lifetime than
their parent type 9 font. Probably the descendents are pointed from
somewhere besides FDArray (maybe the font registry ?
or maybe after scaling the type 9 font from a type 9 copy ?),
and we think it's not good.
We believe that they should be released together with the type 9 font.
For now leaving it as it is, working around with a hack notify_remove_font_type9.
1.5. In stable font copies gs_type1_data_s::parent is set to NULL
to simplify the finalization. They are not used now.
2. Bug : In some cases the glyph bytecode was used instead the CID
as a key for searching a Metrics|Metrics2 element (zchar1.c).
3. Bug : The PDF interpreter wrongly scaled W,W2,DW,DW2 for CIDFontTYpe0 (pdf_font.ps).
4. pdfwrite : Improved the generation of W, W2 for CID fonts,
because after implementing (1) re-distilled 401-01.ps rendered incorrectly.
4.1. Prefer a non-zero width when computing DW, DW2 (gdevpdtw.c)
(debugged with 401-01.ps).
4.2. Don't skip zero W, W2 elements. The old code recognized zeros as
unused glyphs, but must do with the real glyph set in the font copy
(debugged with the test file of the bug 687681).
5. zcharstring_outline still ignores CDevProc. We believe that it is correct,
because it is used to compute font features with no dependence on
the relaced metrics.
6. pdfwrite : Allowed a CDevProc callout for CIDFontType 0, because
pdfwrite needs to know replaced widths, as well as it was done a half year ago
for CIDFontType2. Actually after implementing (1) pdfwrite stopped
to work correctly when re-distilling a PDF file with CIDFontType0,
due to now it uses W,W2,DW,DW2.
6.1. A new function z1_set_cache is defined for this purpose
similarly to zchar42_set_cache.
6.2. gs_font_procs::glyph_outline now retrieves the side bearing and width.
Added a new argument 'sbw' to all implementations.
6.2.1. Currently this function extension is implemented for charstring fonts only,
which need to interpret a charstring to retrieve the info :
type 1,2,9, because we don't want to run the type 1 interpreter 2 times
for getting sbw and bbox. Other font types retrieve zeros,
which currently are not used.
6.2.2. type1_cis_get_metrics has been made public.
7. We believe that the implementation of W,W2,DW,DW2 in the PDF interpreter,
which was contributed by the gs-cjk team, is unreasonably overcomplicated,
because it is based on CDevProc, which needs an interpreter callout,
which appears extremily hard from pdfwrite.
For now leaving it as it is (except a small improvement in (3)).
We would like to generate Metrics, Metrics2 instead that.
Note that a small part of this patch (the part (1)) is necessary
for generating Metrics, Metrics2 for CIDFontTYpe 0.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Almost all differences are a single pixel glyph shift.

Partial fix for 687657 Text in transparency mask yields rangecheck in
discardtransparencymask.
DETAILS:
Three problems have been found with this file.
The rangecheck is actually a secondary effect. The actual problem
was a typecheck in setrgbcolor. However that error occurred inside
a stopped context.
1) The file has a mask group. This group specifies a color space (CS).
The previous code set the current color space to the given value.
However the FillColorSpace and StrokeColorSpace were not set. As a
result, a DeviceRGB color space was being used instead of the specified
DeviceGray color space. This resulted in a mismatch in the number
of operands when the color as set (1 versus 3). The fix consists of
setting both StrokeColorSpace and FillColorSpace when a mask group
contains a CS value.
2) The file uses scn for setting color values for a DeviceGray color
space. FillColor and StrokeColor can contain wither a single numeric
value (which is common but not required for DeviceGray) or an array
of values for all other color spaces. The scn and SCN operators were
always assuming that these values always contained arrays. The fix
consists of checking for the non array cases in the operators.
3) The appearance produced by Ghostscript with the test file does not
match Adobe. A solid magenta rectangle is produced by Ghostscript.
Adobe shows magenta text. This problem is NOT fixed by this patch.
Note: If the test file is opened with Illustrator CS and then saved,
Ghostscript does produced the same appearance as Adobe for the saved
file. The reason for the differences are not currently known. However
there are some more details in the bug report on this issue.</pre>

Fix for 687403 Poor halftoning for 16 color (4 bit) devices.
DETAILS:
This bug is a brother to bug 687390. That bug was for 256
color (8 bit) devices. Russell Lang suggested testing the 4 bit
devices and they were found to have problems caused by the same
logical error. The halftoning logic assumes that all components
for a device have the same number of shades. This was not true
for the implementations of the 4 and 8 bit color devices.
This fix converts the 16 color devices to using a 2x2x2 cube.
Note: A possible future enhancement would be to convert these
devices to using a 4 level gray for shades of pure gray (R = G
= B).</pre>

Fix for 687664 tiffsep sometimes producing apparently corrupt files
sometimes.
DETAILS:
The tiffsep device did not properly handle multiple page input files.
This change adds multiple page handling to the tiffsep device. Most
of the various tiff related routines already properly handled multiple
pages so changes were only required inside the tiffsep device.
The changes consists of:
1. Moving several variables which were local to tiffsep_print_page
into the tiffsep device structure and adding initialization. These
variables provide state information to the general tiff handling
routines and the file pointers for the separation files.
2. Add logic for determining if the output file name includes a
numeric format specification. If so then we create individual separation
files for each page. If not then we create a single file for each
separation.
3. A device close procedure was added to ensure that the separation
files were closed.</pre>

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Correctly handle different widths for same glyph.
DETAILS :
Bug 687672 "incorrect font rendering".
An Encoding may specify various character codes for same glyph, and
Widths may specify different widths for those codes.
Thus same glyph may be used with different widths.
This patch continues a long story about the handling of different widths for same glyph,
which includes my old hacks (pdf_font.ps Revision 1.22 and 1.26)
and Alex's change pdf_font.ps Revision 1.57 .
Alex defines new glyph names for same glyph to resolve the widths conflict.
After the Alex's change my old hacks appear low useful, and can be removed.
This patch
1. Removes the hacks;
2. Improves the Alex's change with the case when CharStrings has no referred glyph
(debugged with 1_2001.pdf)
3. Improves the Alex's change with minimizing a number of newly generated names,
because the test file of the bug 687672 maps many charcodes to .notdef with various widths.

Ignore MediaPosition when selecting a media type. Adobe CPSI does it this
way, and the PLRM suggests that this is advisory only. Bug 687547 for
customer 780.
DETAILS:
Adobe CPSI also ignores this parameter without generating any error or
warning. The PLRM says:
This parameter does not override the normal media selection process
described in the text, but if specified it will be honored--provided it can
satisfy the input media request in a manner consistent with normal media
selection--even if the media source it specifies is not the best available
match for the requested attributes.
Since an input PS file is unlikely to have a PPD that accurately reflects
the 'slot' numbers of our InputAttributes dictionary, we also ignore this
option and instead give the 'best fit' based on size and orientation (and
other parameters that may exist).</pre>

<pre>
A new implementation of shadings, step 83.
DETAILS :
This is a partial fix for the bug
687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background".
It fixes various secondary problems :
1. gx_default_fill_linear_color_scanline could miss pixels at the end of the scanline
(bug 687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background", the right boundary).
2. decompose_linear_color could miss pixels when swapping axes of the clip rectangle.
(bug 687585 "A shading renders narrower than its background", the top boundary).
Defined adjust_swapped_boundary and applied for this purpose.
3. mesh_padding cauld miss pixels when swapping axes of the padding.
Defined adjust_swapped_boundary and applied for this purpose.
4. Moved the fill adjustment from gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path to gsshade.c
and disabled it in the NEW_SHADINGS build, because NEW_SHADINGS build never
needs it. Instead that it applies mesh_padding.
The new function gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path_adjusted access the new functionality
from outside gsshade6.c .
Also renamed gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path_adjusted with gx_dc_pattern2_fill_path
for a better reflection of its new purpose.
5. Implemented VD_TRACE_DOWN in try_device_linear_color.
The old code did a misleading drawing.
6. Fixed a conflict of the 's' flag in the -T argument.
Changed the documentation to reflect that.

Fix (Type 1 hinter) : A further improvement of the glyph rendering quality, step 1.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent,
because new code is disabled wirth configuration switches
listed below.
1. FINE_STEM_COMPLEXES
1.1. Stem complex could miss a common boundary.
1.2. Stem width could be distorsed due to a common boundary missing
(Bug 687578 "T1 hinter disturbs stem width".).
1.3. Overall hint (if presents) should have a bigger priority.
2. ALIGN_BY_STEM_MIDDLE
2.1. A stem middle could be shifted too much due to
independent grid-fitting of boundaries and the change 1.2 -
see 'i' in ccc-.pdf attached to Bug 687578.
Fixed with an improved alignment with t1_hinter__align_stem_to_grid.
2.2. This isn't applicable for top|bottom zones from the TT stem recognizer,
because we want to force outer boundaries to keep the glyph height.
2.3. 033-52-5873.pdf defines "pseodo-stem" hints,
which have only one boundary corresponding to real poles.
recognize them with t1_hinter__mark_existing_stems,
and don't apply the improved alignment,
because those stems designate outer glyph boundaries,
which we want to force the uniform glyph height.
Apparently fixes Bug 687579 "Type 1 hinter disturbs glyph height".

Fix for 687640 Unable to set default halftones for PDF.
DETAILS:
To support both PS level 1 and PS level 2 interpreting modes,
Ghostscript defines two routines for setting a default halftone.
PS level 1 does not support resources. Thus for PS 1 we have
.setdefaultscreen which sets a default halftone which is defined
inside of gs_init.ps. For PS 2, we have .setdefaulthalftone
which is similar to .setdefaultscreen except that it also checks
for a default halftone resource.
The PDF interpreter's handler for the /HT gstate parameter
called .setdefaultscreen if the parameter value was /Default.
This fix changes the handler to use .setdefaulthalftone instead.
This results in the PDF interpreter using the default halftone
resource if it is present.</pre>

Fix for 687607 Text missing with TextALphaBits=2 and tiffsep device.
DETAILS:
The TextAlphaBits and GraphicsAlphaBits device parameters were not working
for devices with a depth of more than 32 bits. The fix involves replacing
the copy_alpha device procs in the 40, 48, 56, and 64 bit memory devices
with the gx_default_copy_alpha routine. These devices previously had a
copy_alpha routine which did nothing. This was a mistake from when these
devices were created as part of the DeviceN work.</pre>

<h3><a name="Version8.31"></a>Version 8.31 (2004-08-28)</h3>
<p>
This is a beta release of the development tree. It contains a number
of new features and is made available for those interested in testing
the new version before it becomes the next stable release.
<p>
This second beta contains a large number of bug fixes over the earlier
8.30 version.
<p>
New features since the last stable release:
<ul>
<li><p>
Topological grid fitting,
an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
feature.
<li><p>
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
information.
<li><p>
A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
rasterization on continuous tone devices.
The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
functions.
<li><p>
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
<li><p>
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
<li><p>
We have beta support for JPEG 2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
</ul>

<pre>
Close the font file after the font has been processed (loaded into VM).
This prevents a problem with using up too many file handles detected on
Solaris. Thanks to Alex Cherepanov for the patch. Bug #687066.
DETAILS:
The patch has no effect on the cache. There is no point of not closing
the file after the content has been copied to memory.
On GNU/Linux GS has 250K VMThreshold and 1024 handles. That's enough.
On Windows GS has 1M VNThreshold and 512 handles. This is still OK.
On Solaris GS has 1M VMThreshold and 256 handles. Handles can be used up
before garbage collection starts. The following program fails on Solaris.
(a)(w) file closefile
1000 { (a)(r) file pop } repeat
Dependence on VMThreshold indicates that GC is not activated by
open(2) failing with EMFILE . This is a real bug, the patch is
just a work around that we may need to fix later, but not likely to
be a problem.</pre>

Changed iapi to use a void* instead of a gs_main_instance pointer.
Cleaned up warning related to function pointer signature miss-matches.
DETAILS:
iapi.h no longer defines a type for gs_main_instance *
This will likely need to be put back in for backward compatibility.
The iapi interface now uses a void * instance handle reflecting
that it is an opaque type to the outside world.
Note that function pointer argument miss-matches generate warnings in
msvc but not in gcc. These have been fixed.</pre>

Enable progressive updates for the image window of
the MS-Windows ghostscript command line program.
Change update method to use a Windows timer.
DETAILS:
In the MS-Windows GUI executable (i.e. text window managed by
ghostscript rather than using a system console window), the image
window is progressively updated every second or so as each page
is drawn. The console executable did not do this.
The update code for both GUI and console executables is changed to
use a timer. The display update code is called whenever particular
device drawing operations happen, and if a timer is not already
running, it starts an update timer. The minimum update interval
is shortened from 1s to 100ms. The time to refresh the window is
measured, and the update interval may be increased to make sure
that updates account for no more than 10% of processing.
The update interval is decreased if subsequent updates are
much quicker. The timer is stopped by any sync.</pre>

in a small unwanted dot, but that is probably not an issue since it is

Windows only:
check_interrupts() with a mem pointer to access the poll function.
DETAILS :
This is windows specific since only windows uses the polling
function in check_interrupts() macros. If the gs_dll interface
is used then a single instance is forced since the design of that
interface forces one thread per process. The iapi interface can not
but enabled for more than one thread until the stream calling check_interrupts()
calls are fixed.
process_interrupts(NULL) calls are currently hacked to access a global memory
pointer intended for access to stderr. This is a place holder until the
stream object changed that guarantee a valid memory pointer in process_stream
calls are committed. Basically it is common to allocate a stream object on the
stack and use it in a functional manor with an uninitialized memory pointer in the
object.</pre>

<pre>
Addition of a Library Context to start the process of removing globals.
DETAILS :
The goals is to remove globals from the system, this includes static
globals that would hinder multiple threads from running at once.
gs_lib_ctx is intended to be used as the opaque "handle" object
that a client would use to associate with a thread running through
the library. Independent of a gs or a language switch build, this
needs a new iapi2.h that allows the use of better job control from the
client side.
gs_lib_ctx is stashed under the gs_memory_t object and all memory objects
used by a thread refer to the same gs_lib_ctx. This storage location was
choosen as a convenence since a memory_t pointer is common throughout the
system. Most of the turmoil is adding memory_t pointers to functions that
used global variables but didn't have a memory pointer.
FILE stdin, stdout, stderr are one per process by default.
stdin and stdout may be changed but stderr may not.
FILE stderr is one per process and shouldn't be changed.
Note the stderr_fn is also one per process, changing this function pointer
will not help as most users of stderr printing do not have a thread handle.
Changing to a thread local storage mechanism can solve this.
gs_id's are currently per thread with each thread starting over at 1.
This can be moved to per process with mutexes if so desired.
A library context has a pointer to the top_of_system the intent is that this
a void handle avaliable to make top of the system calls without knowing the
data type. In a postscript only build this would be gs_main_instance but
in a language switched build this would be an object above that main_universe.
Other members of gs_lib_ctx_t are nothing more than global objects relocated
to this "bag". gs_name_table, dict_autoexpand are examples of this. There
are a few more globals that will be moved.
At the moment iapi is still constrained to one thread, since some of the
globals haven't been removed yet.
The display device's callback function setting is supported for now
but this interface should be changed to a sDEVICE style call.
gs_memory_t is the base type the abstract type gs_raw_memory_t is gone,
this means that all memory types must derive from gs_memory_t.
In addition to a pointer to the gs_lib_ctx there is a pointer to a
non_gc_memory this will always point to a non garbage collected memory,
it maybe the current object or an object below the current gargabe
collected memory space. This can be used were the previous code
used the global gs_malloc_memory. gs_malloc() now takes a memory pointer,
it finds the non-gc memory from a valid memory pointer and allocates from it.

The test case embeds a font with an instandard FontMatrix [ 0.00039 0 0 0.00039 0 0 ].
For passing it to pdfwrite, the procedure .completefont adds the
/.OrigFont key to the font dictionary. However the key was added after

More work upon 687551 Implement the remaining TN 5044 procedures.
This commit implements the setcmykoverprint procedure.
DETAILS:
We received a posting against 687551. This posting indicated that some
files in arXiv.org were failing with the current version of Ghostscript
but worked with older versions. The files were all created by a package
called Canvas by Deneba Systems. They failed because setcmykoverprint
was not defined.
Evidently the people at Deneba Systems did not read the following comment
from page 15 of TN 5044:
"Note The setcmykoverprint operator has not been adopted by the industry.
It remains on the list of color convention operators because it has some
perceived usefulness, but it is not supported by any shipping host-based
separation applications today."
The even stranger detail is that the Deneba Systems people have a
dummy version of this procedure that does not implement overprinting.
Thus if they do not need overprinting, they have no need to use this
procedure.
The files also fail with Distiller 6.0, Illustrator CS, and Photoshop 6.0.
However this change allows these files to work with current Ghostscript.
The change consists of putting in a dummy version of the setcmykoverprint
procedure. This version does not actually implement overprinting.</pre>

1. Fix (PS interpreter) : The FontBBox validation check was too strong.
2. Fix (pdfwrite) : Explicitely set line parameters in a charproc.
DETAILS :
Bug 687594 "Barcode Width".
See comments in the new code.
This solution is a partial one.
With the current architecture of the Postscript interpreter,
a device can't recognize whether a PS charproc sets line parameters or not.
Therefore we copy to PDF the values, which appear at a first use
within a charproc. The old code copied only values, which differ from defaults.
The new behavior appears closer to Adobe Distiller.
A complete solution should copy the PS behavior to PDF,
i.e. the PDF charproc should set those and only those parameters,
which are set by the PS charproc. For doing that we need flags in the graphic state structure
per each graphic state parameter, reset all them before running a charproc,
and set whenever a parameter is changed. Without the flag, when the charproc sets
a value equal to the old one (which was inherited from the context of
the glyph usage), the event of setting is lost and causes a line width and other problems.
We don't want such a deep change now, and go with the partial solution,
because the partial solution appears enough for customer's needs.
Likely Adobe Distiller have same architectural problem, and resolves it in same manner.

The scn operator uses .pdfcount (inside of scresolve) to determine

We use the OrderResources parameter to decide about (not)converting Type 1

because we don't want to convert them in C code).

Fix to pdfwrite initialization to make sure initial distiller params are
incorporated into the device. Also add collection of distillerparams when
building currentpagedevice. Fixes bugs 687325, 687436 and 687458.
DETAILS:
Earlier change to use .putdeviceparamsonly in gs_pdfwr.ps so that the
use of setdistillerparams does not reinitialize the device caused the
initial parameter settings to not be set in the device. The change to
gs_pdfwr.ps accomplishes this.
Part of the investigation by Igor Melichev discovered that the values of
disillerparams would not be correctly reflected in the pagedevice. The
change to gs_setpd.ps collects the currentdistillerparams when the device
is pdfwrite and merges new values into the pagedevice dictionary. The
method is similar to that used for the dynamicppkeys such as PageCount
that can be changed by the device. For the distillerparams, the values
are changed dynamically by setdistillerparams.

Fixes bug 687451 "default resolution for display device"
Set the display resolution from the MS-Windows display resolution,
using a device parameter -dDisplayResolution=DPI.
DETAILS:
The initial resolution must be set in display_put_params.
Setting it in display_open is too late because this leaves
the device resolution and currentpagedevice reporting
different values. Callbacks can't be used in display_put_params
because the callback structure is not yet initialized.
This leaves a device parameter on the command line as
the cleanest implementation.
If HWResolution is set (e.g. from -r72), then use that.
Otherwise, if DisplayResolution is set, use that in the
initial display_put_params. After that, ignore all further
use of DisplayResolution.
The Windows client adds -dDisplayResolution=DPI to the
command lines, similar to the existing -dDisplayFormat.
The Windows client gets the resolution from the GDI.
The default Windows display resolution is 96dpi (the same
as the display device). This can be changed to 120dpi by
selecting "large fonts", or other values in recent versions
of Windows.</pre>

Fix for 687565 Incorrect equiv color for Orange in Altona test file.
The altona test file Altona_Visual_bb_1v1_x3.pdf contains a spot color
called Orange. An incorrect equivalent CMYK color is being determined for
this spot color. The result is that the spot color is being displayed as
black for the devices which handle spot colors and attempt to determine
equivalent CMYK colors for the spot colors. These are the psdcmyk,
tiffsep, and display (with -dDisplayFormat=16#a0800) devices.
DETAILS:
The Orange spot color is used in two different DeviceN color spaces. The
first color space has components named 'None'. These components are used
as part of a special feature described in section 4.5 of the PDF 1.5 spec.
This feature uses the None components as a means for passing values to
the color space's alternate tint transform function. In the example in
the spec., these values are an equivalent color in the alternate color
space.
Our logic for determining an equivalent CMYK color for a spot colorant
sets all color components except for the desired spot color to zero and
then uses the tint transform function to form an alternate color. This
results in the equivalent CMYK color being black since the None values
contain the real information for the tint transform function.
This change consists of check for the presence of DeviceN color space
components named None. If any are detected then the equivalent CMYK
color logic exits rather than determine an invalid color. This is
sufficient for this case since the second color space which contains
the Orange spot color does not have the None components. For the
general case, a solution needs to be found which samples colors given
actual values for the None components.</pre>

Log Message:
Fixes bug 686956 Display device does not support separations.
Add support for separations to display device.
This requires a change to the display callback structure.
Support is maintained for clients using version 1 of the structure.
DETAILS:
Add support for a new color format, DISPLAY_COLORS_SEPARATION,
which supports CMYK and spot colors. A new callback
display_separation() is used to tell the client about
the names and CMYK equivalents of each separation.
The callback structure version number is incremented to 2
to show that has changed. The display devices checks
whether it is passed the older v1 structure or the newer
v2 structure, and only calls the new separation callback
if it was given a v2 structure.
Only 8-bit/pixel, up to 8 components and 64-bit depth are supported.
In the Windows and gtk+ clients, a subset of these 8 separations
can be selected for display.
The new code is based on the tiffsep device.</pre>

Fix for 687553 rangecheck in .sethalftone5 and SeparationOrder.
DETAILS:
If a file specifies a type 5 halftone and the SeparationOrder device
parameter is specified then a rangecheck can occur. This happens when
the halftone includes two or more colorants that are not in the
SeparationOrder parameter or one colorant and a 'Default' value.
The problem occurs because the get_color_comp_index device procs use
GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS to indicate colorants which are not
being imaged due to the colorant not be included in the list for the
SeparationOrder device parameter. However the
gs_color_name_component_number routine was using the same value to
indicate 'Default' halftones.
The fix consists of modifying gs_color_name_component_number to look
for GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS from the get_color_comp_index
device proc. If found then the component is treated the same as
a component that is not present in the device. The halftoning
logic is only concerned with the colorants which are actually being
used by the device.</pre>

<pre>
This change implements the enhancements described in 542629 CMYK
tiff driver and 687440 Support for outputting PDF separations
separately. This change implements three devices: tiffgray
which produces an 8 bit gray output with uncompressed data,
tiff32nc which produces 32 bit CMYK with uncompressed data, and
tiffsep which produces a tiffgray file for each separation
(CMYK and spot colors) and it also produces a CMYK output file
which is created using the CMYK image data plus the spot
colors image data. The spot colors are converted to CMYK using
the logic in 687431.
DETAILS:
This change requires that 687504 be included in the sources.
The tiffgray and tiff32nc devices are logically similar to the
tiff24nc device except for the use of gray and CMYK process
color models.
The tiffsep device uses much of the logic which has been created
for the psdcmyk and spotcmyk devices. These include logic for
implementing the SeparationOrder setpagedevice parameter 687423,
logic for determining an equivalent CMYK color to spot colors
687431, and automatically detecting spot colors (without requiring
that they be specified via the SeparationColorNames setpagedevice
parameter 687504.
The tiffsep device also prints the names of any spot colors
detected within a document to stderr. (stderr is also use for the
output from the bbox device.) For each spot color the name of
the color is printed preceded by '%%SeparationName: '. This
provides a mechanism for external applications to be informed about
the names of spot colors with a document.
Due to the 64 bit pixel size limitation, the tiffsep can handle
a maximum of 8 colorants per pass. However it is possible to
handle more than 8 colorants by doing multiple passes. For each
pass after the first one, the names of all of the separations need
to be specified via the SeparationColorNames parameter and the
names of the desired separations need to be specified via the
SeparationOrder parameter. When colorants are selected via the
SeparationOrder parameter, the composite CMYK output contains
the equivalent CMYK data only from the selected colorants. It is
possible to create an overall CMYK composite for more than 8
colorants by then adding together (via an external application like
imagemagick) the composite CMYK output files from the individual
Ghostscript passes.
Internally each spot color is assigned a spot color number. These
numbers start with 0 for the first spot color. The spot color
numbers are assigned in the same order as the names are printed to
stderr (see above). This order also matches the ordering in the
SeparationColorNames list, if this parameter is specified. The
spot color numbers are not affected by the SeparationOrder parameter.
This device creates multiple output files. The file specified
via the OutputFile command line parameter is used to contain the
composite CMYK equivalent. File names for the separations for the
CMYK planes are created by appending '.Cyan.tif', '.Magenta.tif'
'.Yellow.tif' or '.Black.tif' to the to the end of the file name
specified via the OutputFile parameter. File names for the spot
color separation files are created by appending '.sn.tif' (where n
is the spot color number) to the end of the file name specified via
the OutputFile parameter.
The src/gdevtsep.c source file does have a compile time option for
including/not the '.tif' at the end of the created file name. It
also has a compile time option for using the name of the spot color
as part of the file name. However this is not enabled since there
may be conflicts with spot color names (in which Adobe allows almost
anything) and the operating system's conventions on file naming.
This change consists of the new source module src/gdevtsep.c,
changes to devs.mak for defining the new devices, changes to the
various top level make files for including these devices in their
DEVICE_DEVS definitions, and changes to the documentation files.</pre>

<pre>
Fix for 687534 Unable to determine equivalent CMYK for spot colors
that are only used with overprint.
DETAILS:
The given test file uses spot colors. However the psdcmyk device
was creating output files which did not contain equivalent CMYK
colors for the spot colors. The cause was that the previous
version of the logic was capturing the equivalent CMYK colors
when the psdcmyk device's high drawing procs were called. However
if overprinting is enabled, then the overprint device was inserting
its own versions of these routines. Since it only took one call
to a high level drawing handler, the previous logic would capture
the equivalent CMYK colors if there were any drawing operations
with a spot color that did not have overprinting enabled.
The fix consists of moving the capturing of the equivalent CMYK
colors to a new device proc. This new device proc is called
update_spot_equivalent_colors. This device proc is called whenever
a Separation or a DeviceN color space is installed.
The default version of the proc does nothing. Thus there is only
a small amount of overhead added for the installation of Separation
and DeviceN color spaces for devices which do not need the equivalent
CMYK colors for spot colors.
Most of the change consists of the standard details of adding a
new device proc. There are several places that have to be updated
when this is done. The documentation in doc/Drivers.htm was updated
to include this new proc. The high level drawing handlers in the
psdcmyk devices were removed and a new psd_update_spot_equivalent_colors
procedure was added. Some minor changes were made in the logic in
gsequivc.c since it is no longer necessary to scan through base and
alternate color spaces looking for Separation and DeviceN color spaces.
The comments at the beginning of gsequivc.c was changed to reflect
the changes in the logic for capturing equivalent CMYK colors for
spot colors.</pre>

687504 Enhancement: Imaging spot colors without using the
SeparationColorNames parameter.
DETAILS:
The purpose of this enhancement is to provide an example of how
to implement imaging spot colors without requiring that they be
specified in advance via the SeparationColorNames setpagedevice
parameter. Note: Spot colors are only supported on a few devices
which have output file formats which allow for spot colors. These
are currently the psdcmyk, spotcmyk, and xcfcmyk devices.
This commit only implements this feature on the psdcmyk, spotcmyk
and devicen devices.
In order to implement this feature, a device needs to be able to
allocate image buffer memory for each colorant and to detect when
a new colorant is being used inside of a color space. The
implementation has the following pieces:
1. The handling of the MaxSeparation setpagedevice parameter was
extended. Previously this parameter was always set to one. For
most devices it now indicates the number of colorants being used
by the device. For most devices this is a fixed quantity, however
for the psdcmyk device, this parameter can be used to tell the
device to allocate image buffer memory for up to eight colorants.
(The eight colorant limit is due to the fact that the psdcmyk
device uses 8 bits per colorant and we currently have a 64 bit
maximum pixel size.)
2. The devices already have a 'get_color_comp_index' routine which
is used to query if a colorant is supported by the device. However
this routine is used for both real components in color spaces and also
for some special cases. For instance, the same halftone may be used
either for a cyan or a red colorant. To handle this case, the halftoning
setup logic will query the get_color_comp_index routine to check if
cyan is supported by the device. If not then a query is made to see
if the device supports red. By monitoring the names of the components
passed to get_color_comp_index routine, a device can detect when a new spot
color is being used. However it is necessary to be able to detect
the special cases so that the device does not believe that it has a
'red' spot color. To do this the third parameter of the
get_color_comp_index device proc was logically modified to indicate
if a name represents a name actually in a color space or one of the
special case situations. Previously this parameter was not being used.
3. The get_color_comp_index routine for the psdcmyk device was
modified to look for new spot colors and to add then to its list of
colorants if there was space available. Note: This also required
that the psdcmyk device have its own structure descriptor, pointer
enumeration and relocation procedures. The macro which was used to
define the psdcmyk and psdrgb devices needed to be changed since the
previous macro used the st_device_printer structure descriptor instead
of the new structure descriptor for the psd devices.</pre>

(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued 4).
DETAILS :
Recent changes about charproc variations caused an appearence of idle entries
in the xref table. Those entries pointed to zero length objects
and were never referred.
Idle entries appeared due to the substream accumulator reserved an object id
before entering a substream, but later the object (a charproc) was cancelled.
This patch delays the reservation of an object id until we decide
that the object won't be cancelled. Added a new argument of pdf_enter_substream

Fix (type 1 hinter) :
1. Ever align the Y-coordinate of a glyph origin to pixels.
2. Improve the unaligned pole interpolation;
3. Set a waeaker angle threshold in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
4. Allow an offset fuzz in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
5. Align upper/lower horizontal stems by the upper/lower edge.
6. A dependency was missed in lib.mak .
DETAILS :
Bug 687419 "poor font rendering on X11 with gs 8.14".
The intention of this change is to improve the rendering quality
with TextAlphaBits > 1, but actually it modifies glyph rendering in all cases.
1.
The test file of the bug 687419 shows that we had 3
inconsistent requirements :
- the analigned glyph origin;
- uniform glyph size;
- and contrast stems.
Since an uniform glyph height looks critical,
we drop the analygned Y-coordinate of the glyph origin.
In other words, now we ever align
the Y-coordinate of the glyph origin to pixels.
This also reduces the number of glyph raster variants in the cache.
2.
The old interpolation algorithm could cause
significant distortions with flex-like serifs, which are not marked with flex.
The character 'L' in the test document of the bug 687419 demonstrates that.
If the path goes outside the interpolation interval
and have no turns, now we shift the "outer" parts rather than
breaking the path at extremal poles. (We wanted this change
a long ago but haven't got a strong reason for it.)
3.
The threshold in t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable changed from
1/3 to 9/10. This makes more stems to recognize. The reason for that
is the same character "L".
4.
Allowed a blue_fuzz offset t1_hinter__is_stem_hint_applicable.
Debugged with comparefiles/tpc2.ps .
5. In the test file of the bug 687419 the small font has no
upper alignment zone for lowercase. This caused an uniform glyph height
due to wide and norrow horizontal stems aligned ocasionally
by top or bottom. Implemented a choice of the aligned edge
depending on the Y-coordinate of stem middle relative to
the glyph middle.
6. gxhintn_h was defined in lib.mak after it is used at once.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Almost all comparefiles render differently.</pre>

DETAILS :
Bug 687487 "(pdfwrite) redundant ExtGState objects".
Now we represent ExtGState objects as cos_dict_t instances,

Redundant equal objects are being substituted and skipped.
This patch consists of 4 parts :
1. Creting an ExtGstate object, replaced old calls to stream functions
with calls to cos_dict_t functions.
2. Implemented the comparizon/substitution logic in pdf_end_gstate.
3. pdf_prepare_drawing now doesn't pass keys to
pdf_update_halftone, pdf_update_transfer, pdf_write_transfer_map,
because we don't want them to become a part of a value.

Fix for 687477 Bad incremental update to a PDF file.
DETAILS:
The given test file had a bad incremental update. This update
has two problems:
1. The trailer dict only had a Prev entry. None of the required
entries were present. To fix this problem, entries from previous
trailer dicts are placed into the initial trailer dict if there is
no entry with the same key in the initial trailer dict.
2. The update had an xref table with two entries. One of them
was bad. (Not a very good percentage.) To fix this problem,
all entries in the composite xref table are scanned to verify that
they point to a valid objects. If not then the rebuild logic is
used to attempt to recover the xref data. This can be disabled
by adding -dNoVerifyXref to the command line. In most cases,
the verification time is not noticeable but I did find a file with
104,000 xref entries and it took about 2 seconds to verify the
xref table.</pre>

(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued 2).
DETAILS :
This is a final step of fixing the bug 687489
"pdfwrite creates invalid Type3 font -- missing characters".
This patch provides a check whether a color was changed while
a PS charproc interpretation. A color command is written
into the PDF charproc if and only if the PS charproc changed the color.
This patch discovers a bug in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 :
with the test document of the bug 687489 it paints an "invisible" text in the 4th page.
That text isn't visible when viewing with Adobe reader 6 and with GS.
The text is painted with a white color, but AR 5 erroneusly paints it with black.

This is second step of fixing the bug 687489

The problem happens due to the old code could run a charproc while
executing a stringwidth, when device color is not evaluated.
This patch provides the device color loading with no dependence
on the text operation.
dev_proc(dev, text_begin) now receives a device color in any case.

<pre>
(pdfwrite) : Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations (continued).
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for fixing the bug 687489
"pdfwrite creates invalid Type3 font -- missing characters".
The problem happens due to the old code could run a charproc while
executing a stringwidth, when the PDF viewer state isn't syncronized
with the PS graphic state.
We don't synchronize in this case because stringwidth doesn't paint.
Our intention is to know whether a charproc changes graphic state parameters :
current color, line width, etc. For doing so we need
(1) to save the viewer state in the viewer state stack,
and then (2) synchronize with the PS graphic state without
writing commands to the PDF. This patch does provide (1)
but does not implement (2) because we want to check
the change (1) for no regressions.
The change (2) will be a separate step.
Saving a viewer state in a stack when entering a charproc
was contributed with the recent patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-May/004507.html
as an improvement of pdf_enter_substream, which was called from
pdf_install_charproc_accum called from pdf_text_set_cache.
In other words, the viewer state saving was deferred until setcachedevice/setcharwidth.
However we need to save the viewer state in the beginning of a PS charproc.
This patch moves the call to pdf_enter_substream from pdf_install_charproc_accum
to the TEXT_PROCESS_RENDER branch of pdf_text_process.
We believe that the new logic is more straight :
we start the charproc stream accumulation immediately before the PS interpreter
enters a charproc interpretation.
Minor changes :
1. Defined pdf_start_charproc_accum as a symmetric one for pdf_end_charproc_accum.
2. Renamed pdf_install_charproc_accum into pdf_set_charproc_attrs.
3. Improved the argument list of pdf_prepare_text_drawing.

<h2><a name="Version8.30"></a>Version 8.30 (2004-05-29)</h2>
<p>
This is an beta release of the development tree. It contains numerous
new features and is made available for those interested in testing out
the new version before it becomes the next stable release.
<p>
New features in this version :
<ul>
<li><p>
Topological grid fitting,
an original method developed for Ghostscript by Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves
the rendering of True Type fonts at small resolutions.
See the documentation for <a href="Language.htm#GridFitTT">GridFitTT</a> for information on this
feature.
<li><p>
The PDF writer now implements PDF 1.4 encryption.
See the <a href="Ps2pdf.htm#Encryption">encryption parameter</a> documentation for more
information.
<li><p>
A new rendering method for shadings, developed for Ghostscript by
Dr. Igor V. Melichev, improves the quality and performance of
rasterization on continuous tone devices.
The new method allows hardware or software acceleration with help of
customizable routines for filling areas with a linearly varying color.
functions.
<li><p>
This version contains the first release of Rinkj, an
experimental new driver for some inkjet printers using ETS screening.
See the <a href="Devices.htm#Rinkj">Rinkj</a> section for more information.
<li><p>
We now support PDF 1.5 files, including the new compression
and encryption modes.
<li><p>
We have beta support for Jpeg2000 compressed images, using the JasPer
compression library. This is only enabled as part of the default build
in the autoconf (POSIX) build system in this release.
</ul>

The display device needs to explicitly call check_device_separable
because it is closed and reopened when the callback is set,
which causes linear_and_separable to be reset.

(pdfwrite) : 1. Implementing a dynamic recongnition for Type 3 charproc variations;
2. Bug : Viewer state could desynchronize when entering a charproc accumulation.
DETAILS :
Bug 687472 "barcode wrongly converted to type3 font".
Type 3 glyph variations may appear if BuildChar uses setcharwidth.
If a charproc uses setcharwidth, we perform the charproc accumulation
for each character occurance, and compare the accumulated stream with older
ones if they exist. In the case of exact equality
(including the character name and character code),
the old charproc is used. Othervise we embed a new one.
If the character code was used with another charproc,
we create another PDF font to resolve the conflict.
Thus a single PS Type 3 font may convert into several
PDF Type 3 fonts, and the text may be broken into smaller pieces.
Particularly this happens with the test file of the bug 687472.
Viewers must account that implementing the text serchability.
A new array pdfont->u.simple.s.type3.cached is used to remember whether
a charproc uses setcachedevice[2]. If a character used it at ones,
we assume that all further its occurances to do same.
We think that this assumption is implied by PLRM.
Viewer state was not saved when entering a charproc accumulation,
and was not restored after exiting it (a bug).
This could cause wrong object attributes
and excessive commands written into PDF.
This patch fixes that.
Some PDFs become longer due to excessive ExtGState objects
generated for dropped copies of charprocs.
Opened a new bug 687487 for tracking this issue.

Handle some errors that could halt the regression run.
DETAILS:
When running a raster comparison, the test case generates a ShortDescription
that includes the modification date of the baseline raster date. If no such
file exists, the baseline gs is run to create an entry. However, if that
insertion attempt fails, there is no baseline raster for reference. While
the test case itself handled this properly, the ShortDescription logic did
not, throwing an error that terminated the whole run.
Also, makesum was returning '0' instead of None on failure, which was
incompatible with the use of its return value as a dbm key. It now
returns None in that case, and when it cannot stat the file argument
at all.</pre>

Fix reference count of overprint compositor so that it doesn't get freed

DETAILS:
This only showed up when banding was being used.
This only showed up when a high level image was being rendered from the
clist since this installed a 'clipper' device on top of the overprint
compositor. When the clipper device was closed, the finalization proc
decremented the reference count for the 'target' device of the clipper

Log message:
Revised fix for 687418 WTS does not work with bitcmyk driver.
DETAILS:
The changes in this revised fix are pretty extensive. Note: This
patch includes several items from Russell Lang. I am including these
since they are required for the proper execution of the patch and
it does not seem reasonable to require possible testers or reviewers
to have to track down and install these patches separately.
The list of changes includes:
1. Added logic to check_device_separable to also set the gray_index
value. This suggestion came from Russell Lang.
2. Add verification that a colorants bits are consecutive. (from
Russell Lang in:
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-code-review/2004-May/004501.html
3. Changes to gx_default_encode_color and gx_default_decode_color
to use position and bit count info from the device's color_info data.
(Also from Russell Lang in the previously mentioned submission.)
(See the comments in item 21 below about the gx_default_decode_color
routine.)
4. Included test routines. (Also from Russell Lang in the previously
mentioned submission.)
5. Added calls to check_device_separable prior to calls to the
various 'fill_in_procs' routines (gx_device_fill_in_procs,
gx_forward_fill_in_procs, fill_in_procs). The fill_in_procs routines
use the separable information in choosing default routines for
the encode_color and decode_color routines. Thus we have a chicken
and egg problem since check_device_separable also uses the device's
encode_color routine. The test routines from Russell were a great
help in debugging
Also various changes that were found while testing this patch:
6. The various color deskjet drivers (gdevcdj.c) was incorrectly setting
the dither_grays and dither_colors values to 5 instead of 256. (I
have no idea why.) The max_gray and max_color values were set to
being set correctly to 255.
7. The color deskjet devices (gdevcdj.c) were doing BG and UCR
removal inside of the encode_color routines. These devices use the
default color_mapping_procs which also do these tasks. The code in
the encode_color_routine was removed since it could cause conflicts
with the overprint routines. The code in the encode_color routine
was also using a fixed BG/UCR logic (from PS level 2).
8. Corrected a problem in the color desk jet decode_color routine
which was always returning zero for the black value.
9. Changed the casting for values assigned to the std_colorant_names
field. Note: MSVC and gcc complain about different conditions.
There does not seem to be a combination that will keep both happy.
This set produces no complaints from gcc.
10. Corrected the setting of dither_grays and dither_colors for the
devicen device. Previously this was being set to 1 when it should have
been set to 256. Found by Russell Lang.
11. Modified check_device_separable to only check for appropriate
values of the max_gray/dither_grays and max_color/dither_colors
pairs only for gray/color devices.
12. Added check for encode_color routines which encode zero
bits for a colorant. Previously this condition would have caused
an infinitely in check_device_separable. Change suggested by
Russell Lang.
13. Removed a previous call to set_linear_color_bits_mask_shift
in gx_default_fill_in_procs. This has been logically replaced by
the calls to check_device_separable which have been added.
14. Corrected a problem in the ppm_map_rgb_color in gdevpbm.c.
This routine was calling gx_default_encode_color which requires
15. Corrected problem in pcx256 device which incorrectly setting
the dither_grays and dither_colors values.
16. Removed the check_process_color_names routine from gdevpsd.c
since it not used.
17. Modified the dci_alpha_values macro in gxdevcli.h. This
macro was setting some devices as 'separable' but was not setting
the related color_info fields (comp_shift, comp_bits, comp_mask).
Now this macro sets a devices as 'unknown'. The check_device_separable
routine will change this for devices which are separable. Devices
which want to change their process color model need to either set
themselves as 'unknown' and let check_device_separable handle things
or else the device needs to setup its own values for separable
color_info fields.
18. Added a call to check_device_separable into gdev_x_open in
gdevxini.c. With this addition, the x11 device is detected as being
sperable. This is need since the x11 device sets up a color map in
gdev_x_open. Prior to this, the encode_color routine for he x11 device
returns 0 regardless of its input.
19. Modified the uniprint device (gdevupd.c) and color laser jet
devices (gdevcljc.) to use 256 instead of 5 for its dither_gray and
dither_color values with devices that have 8 bits per colorant. This
is appropriate since the the max_gray and max_color values are 255.
(I do not know why these values were being set to 5. This same error
was found in gdevcdj.c. My only guess is that it was a typo in gdevcdj.c.
Since this device is recommended as an example of how to code a color
raster device (in Devices.htm), the error was propogated into the
other devices.
20. Added more comments to gxdevcli.h explaining the use of the
gray_index, max_gray, dither_grays, max_color, and dither_colors
fields in the device color_info structure.
21. Changed the gx_default_decode_color routine (again). Russell
Lang created two revisions to this routine as part of his efforts on
this task. However one version was slow but produced the desired
results. The second version was faster but its output was slightly
different. This revision produces the same output as the first
version but does so without the while loops that slowed its operation.
Note: There is another related submission from Russell Lang that is
not included in this patch. This consists of changes to the display
device for making it 'separable'. This change is needed for Igor's
linear shading work.

Apply a recursive 'configure' step to the autoconf build to generate
required code for the jasper library.
DETAILS:
The jasper library also ships with an autoconf build framework for POSIX
systems. Unfortunately, it relies on this framework to generate a header
file with defines describing the local system. This header, located in
jasper/src/libjasper/include/jas_config.h can be generated by hand from
the jas_config.h.in template, but it must be available when we're directly
compiling the source as part of Ghostscript.
We could attempt to construct one of our own, but within the confines
of an autoconf build, using jasper's native configure is more robust.
We could also go ahead and use recursive make to build the library
natively, but we would need a static makefile for non-autoconf builds.
Jasper provides an alternate header, jas_config2.h for use with MSVC.</pre>

<pre>
A new implementation of shadings, step 73.
DETAILS :
The new code is disabled with NEW_RADIAL_SHADINGS in gxshade4.h .
The old implementation of the radial shading extensions appears
incompatible with the tensor representation of the radial shading
due to different spatial subdivision. Collisions at extension
boundaries caused dropouts.
Besides that, the old implementation
can't handle the case in which circles contact each another and one
circle is inside another. Also we suspect that with the old implementation
the trailing extension can overlap the shading when represented as "triangles".
This patch implements extensions with tensor patches.
Rather they have a constant color, we need the wedge logics
to work with them. Also we reworked the analyzis of
special cases of mutual placement of the base circles.
The new code works, but there are known problems :
1. Extensions to be tested systematically.
2. Debug mesh_padding and wedges with zero length sides.
3. Skip painting outside the clipping area.
4. Optimize for constant color.
5. Why "STEUER-RollingMesh 2(radial).ai-.pdf" generates so many triangles ?

Limit the number of timing runs we're willing to do to detect the cache
size, preventing an infinite loop if the os timing calls never measure
appreciable elapsed time. After a patch from Patrick TJ McPhee. Bug 687095.
DETAILS:
It looks like there's a bug in some versions of FreeBSD which cause
time_clear() to always return 0, even though the loop is being run.
This is clearly incorrect behaviour of clock() on these systems,
or the user is mistaken in debugging the problem, since we've been
unable to reproduce. But in either case our code is arguably wrong.
The later measurements will obviously not detect a nonlinearity if
the timing loop continues to return 0. However, they will terminate
at MAX_BLOCK (4MB) and so the misdetection isn't egregious. It was
only the estimation of the measurement error that could loop forever.</pre>

Implement 687423 Implement SeparationOrder for psdcmyk device.
DETAILS:
The following changes are for implementing the SeparationOrder
parameter for the psdcmyk device.
The change consists of the following:
1. Several routines which were duplicated in the spotcmyk
and psdcmyk devices were restructured to allow the use of
common subroutines. As part of this effort the various
common DeviceN related parameters were separated into a
substructure (call devn_params). This allows the use of
common routines even though the devices do not have the
same overall device description structure.
2. Changes to the src/gdevpsd.c module for actually collecting
the SeparationOrder parameter data and then using it. Note:
The treatment of separations is different for the process
color model colorants versus the spot colors. The colorants for
the process color model do not have their order changed. The
output file always starts with information for the CMYK channels.
If one of these colorants is not specified in the SeparationOrder,
then the output channel data in the file will simply be 'blank'.
Spot colors follow CMYK data. They are rearranged. Only the
spot colors specified are output.
3. Several checks in src/gdevdflt.c and src/gxcmap.c had to
be removed or modified. These checks were assuming that a
device with a single component uses a gray process color
model and a device with three components used RGB.</pre>

Fix to make sure that both stroke (CA) and non-stroke (ca) opacity is set.
Support for customer #32 that wants to create transparent effects in PDF
from PostScript input.
DETAILS:
Previously the opacity was set for one or the other (whichever was first)
and only updated when the value changed. Since the 'state' only retained
a single value, the following PS snippet would not set the CA value as it
should to 0.5. Since we never use the 'b/B' fill + stroke painting methods
(our graphics library currently has no device function for this), a PDF
that contains a 'b' method will be decomposed into a 'f' followed by 's'
operation, setting the opacity from the PDF interpreter's retained ca/CA
between the operations.
PostScript snippet to test this:
<< /CompatibilityLevel 1.4 >> setpagedevice
% work around rectfill mapping directly to device fill_rectangle
/rectfill { gsave 4 2 roll moveto 1 index 0 rlineto

Fix 687189 for bbox_forward_add_rect infinite recursion.
This problem caused segment faults or apparent hangs with
the x11alpha device. This fix also works for 656414
segfault when using x11alpha
DETAILS:
The problem was due to the bounding box device creating
more and more bounding box devices in the device chain
when the overprint compositor was being used. The x11alpha
device uses the bounding box device. The overprint logic
uses the 'create compositor' logic when a change is made
in the status of the overprint or overprint mode parameters.
However a new compositor is not created each time. Instead
the overprint device simply updates its parameters. The
bounding box device has its own create compositor. This
routine would call its target device's create compositor
routine and then wraps a new bounding box device around the
target's compositor. The combination of many create
compositor calls from the overprint logic and the fact that
the bounding box device adds a new bounding box device
could result in hundreds of bounding devices in the chain.
The fix consists of checking if the bounding box's target
device actually created a new compositor device. Only when
a new compositor was added is a new bounding box also added
to the chain.</pre>

"IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS PAGE: This page was created for the testing

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (and modified using Acrobat 6.0). The displaying of
each annotation is specified in the annotation. By default, Acrobat sets
link annotations so that they are normally displayed by 'viewer'
applications. They are not normally displayed in printed output. That is
the case with these annotations.
Ghostscript checks the display specifications for each annotation. By
default, Ghostscript assumes that the output is 'printed' if the
'OutputFile' parameter is defined. Adding '-dPrinted=false' to the command
line will force Ghostscript to display 'viewer' annotations in all output.
Adding '-dPrinted=true' will disable the displaying of these annotations."</pre>

Fix : MSVC6 compiler warnings.
DETAILS :
An "initialized data" warning appeared when MSVC6 performs a release build
with inline optimizations on (The inline optimization inlines small function bodies,
being not marked with the inline keyword).
1. The "uninitialized data" warning in alloc_name_index_is_since_save
in isave.c was a real bug with an indeterministic behavior :
nref.tas.rsize was accessed by names_index_inline from names_string_inline
from alloc_name_is_since_save from alloc_name_index_is_since_save
with no advance initialization.
This bug was not detected because this function is only
invoked when a 'save' unwinds glyph names added to an incremental font,
but doesn't unwind the font - we have no such examples.
IMO existing PS drivers never cvreate such documents.
2. The "uninitialized data" warning in cos_array_add_object appears due to
cos_copy_element_value copies entire 'value' when another variant of an union
has a bigger size and was uninitialized.
The copying of the uninitialized data looks not harmful due to the 'int' type,
but generally it could cause an interrupt on platforms with a tagged memory.
We prefer to suppress the warning with an unuseful initialization,
because the processor time consumption is pretty small and happens not frequently.

during the advance glyph raster cache lookup.
2. Removed

because I can't guess it's reason/purpose.
It looks as a rudiment from a pre-repository versions.
3. The assertion also failed with

/* gx_show_text_retry could reset it when bbox_draw

Glyph raster params could change then. */
4. gx_show_text_retry must reset penum->pair due to possible FontBBox change,

Fix for 687390 GhostScript 8.11 inserts rendering artifacts
with GIFs as source. The actual problem is an error which
resulted in a pale yellow being shown as a pale pink. This
occurs when dithering on devices which use a 256 color palette.
DETAILS
The halftoning logic assumes that there are the same number
of shades of each color. However the 256 color palette
devices were using a 7x7x5 color cube. I.e. there were 7
shades of red and green, however there were only 5 shades of
blue. The data in the device's color_info (max_color, max_gray,
dither_colors, and dither_grays) indicated that there were
7 shades. The halftoning logic, using this information, was
attempting to display the given pale yellow color by dithering
between 6/7ths and 7/7ths of each component. However the
encode_color routine returned colors which include solid blue
for all cases. This biased the resulting halftoned color
toward blue.
The fix involves changing the 256 color palette devices to
use a 6x6x6 color cube. The same routine pc_8bit_map_rgb_color
is used for all of the 256 color palette devices. Thus the
change consists of modifying this routine and the associated
pc_8bit_map_color_rgb routine. The specification of each of
the devices has to be changed to represent the change in the
cube size.</pre>

Fix for incorrect Annotation scaling when an Appearance (/AP) had
scaling that was not unity (1) and the Subtype was not /Stamp.
Fixes Bug #687288 for customer #32.
DETAILS:
The scaling difference in the annotation (object 14 0) was due to
Ghostscript not recognizing the bsiTextStamp annotation Subtype.
Careful reading of the Adobe PDF specification says that if there
is an Appearace stream (/AP dict), then the Form XObject should be
scaled using the method that we perviously only used for /Stamp
Subtype annotations (calcstampscale). The section of the PDF 1.5
Reference Manual is 8.4.4.
The patch is fairly simple, but testing of the regression suite
showed one file, foo.pdf, that was missing the require /Rect entry
in the Annot dict. The patch includes a check and warning for this
problem.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:
With this patch, some of the regression files will have slightly
different scaling for some of the annotations, but the differences
are all too small to compare to Adobe. The largest variations are
seen with annots.pdf (our test file) where the scaling ranges from
a low of 0.979191 to a high of 1.01636. The files are:
filename scaling range (was 1)
01_001.PDF 1.0
SyscoCorrugatedprintcard.pdf 1.0 .. 1.00268
annots.pdf 0.979191 .. 1.01636

Fix for 687364 rangecheck in buildshading2 from Quark XPress PS file.
This fix involves the creation of the findcmykcustomcolor and
setcustomcolor functions.
DETAILS:
Ray found that the error message was due to an invalid shading
dictionary being given to shfill. The dictionary has a function
which has a single input and a single output. The numbers are
determined from the sizes of the Domain and Range arrays. Since
the shading dictionary is using a DeviceCMYK color space, Ghostscript
is generating a rangecheck since the function does not have four
outputs.
The file is generating an invalid shading dictionary. Specifically
it generates:

This dictionary has a Separation color space. The given function
is a reasonable function to use with the Separation color space.
As Ray mentioned, it is not correct for a DeviceCMYK color space.
The file is generating a different dictionary for the two interpreters.
In the case of Ghostscript, the dictionary is invalid,
Backtracking through the various procsets inside of the given file
shows that is a mess of function definitions, followed by replacement
of the functions with new definitions. Some of it may be Quarks.
Some of it is labeled:
%%BeginResource: file Jaws_custom_colour_blend_level3_emulation 2.1 0
The results of the search are:
1. Ghostscript does not define 'setcustomcolor' but Adobe Distiller
6.0 does define it.
2. The procsets in the file do provide a definition for
setcustomcolor. Actually the file provides about 16 versions of
setcustomcolor. However the versions provided in the file do
not work.
The PLRM does not mention setcustomcolor. However it is
described in Adobe's "Technical Note #5044 Color Separation
Conventions for PostScript Language Programs". TN 5044 says:
"The following "operators" are not defined in the PostScript
Language Reference Manual, but should be used as pseudo-operators
in your PostScript language output. Separation applications from
Adobe Systems and other vendors will redefine these convention
operators to separate your documents. Your application should
conditionally define procedures with these special names, as shown
later in this document."
The fix to the problem is to provide the functions:
findcmykcustomcolor and setcustomcolor. These are placed at the
end of the lib/gs_lev2.ps. They are placed there because the
implementation requires Separation color spaces which is a level
2 feature.</pre>

Fix to implement PDF specification for '/' as a valid name as opposed to
the PS token scanning. Previously //name would be incorrectly scanned as
an immediately evaluated name rather than two names '/' and '/name' which
is correct. Fixes Bug #687277 for customer #440.
DETAILS:
Care is taken to reset the scanner behaviour after a PDF file is finished
and also after an invalid number is scanned. Note that to reset the flag,
the parameter must be set to 'null', not 'false' due to the implementation
in the ztoken.c. Caveat impelementor.
Previously the PDFScanRules was set when an invalid number was found and
was never reset, so this may result is *LOTS* of pdfformaterror messages
for files that have lots of invalid format numbers, but that's what they
get. If this is ever a problem, reseting the PDFScanInvNum can be moved
to pdf_main.ps where PDFScanRules is set to null.

A new implementation of shadings, step 43.
DETAILS :
1. An optimization :
If an area has a monotonic color,
each subarea has a monotonic color as well,
so the color monotonity doesn't need to recompute.
Doing so because the color monotonity function is not fast
when appied to a ShadingType 1 with a bicubic color interpolation.
2. Bug: is_color_monotonic returned 'true' when the intrval
has zero width by the 1st coordinate.
This is wrong for with ShadingType 1, which uses a 2-argument function.
( The check was a rudiment from a 1 month old implementation of fn_Sd_is_monotonic,
which returned 'false' when the low boundary is at the end of some cell,
and the upper boundary is at the beginning of the next cell.
Actually this case is a zero width interval and the function must return true.

Implementing is_monotonic for cubic interpolation functions.
DETAILS :
The old code ignores extremes of a cubic interpolation function
(except ones at a cell boundary).
It could cause a wrong rendering of shadings with replacing a
randomly big part of the shading near an extremum with a constant color.
The new code fixes that.
The new code caches the interpolation coefficients.
This may cause problems if the function data stream is
modified after the function is build. Likely this must not cause
problems due to gs/lib caches the stream with ReusableStreamDecode.
Also we don't know practical cases.
POLE_CACHE_IGNORE 1 avoids this problem with some slowdown,
(the slowdown exponentially grows with >=3 arguments,
but again we don't know practical examples with >=3 arguments).
The configuration flag POLE_CACHE allows to revert to the old code.

Fix for 687337 Zerodivide in cie_cache_mult. Note: There
was a typo in the previous fix.
DETAILS:
The direct cause of the problem, and also the reason that we
have not seen this problem in real world files is that the
050-01.ps test file contains the following color rendering
dictionary.
/RenderDict2
12 dict begin
/BlackPoint [ 0 0 0 ] def

/EncodeABC [ {} {} {} ] def

/RangePQR [ 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] def
/TransformPQR [ {} {} {} ] def
/WhitePoint [ 1 1 1 ] def
Note: The matrices full of zeroes do not represent real
world data. The zero matrices will result in all output
component values being zero no matter what the inputs.
Using this data, Ghostscript uses the given ranges and
matrices to calculate values for DomainABC and DomainLMN.
The results are [0, 0] for each domain. The domain values
are later used to calculate a scaling factors which is
also 0. Calculations, which use one of these values as
a divisor, then generate a divide by zero exception.
One option to fix this problem would be to check for zero
before doing any calculations with the scaling factors.
However another and simpler option is to check for the zero
factors when they are crated and set the value to a value
which will not cause the divide problem. Note: Even though
we are using a dummy factor (1.0), the zero matrices still
result in zero output values from the calculations.</pre>

They dramatically improve the development technology.
Automated Precompiled Header speeds up the compilation slightly.

Incremental Compilation speeds up the rebuilding after editing source code.
Edit&Continue is a powerful tool for debugging. Together with incremental compilation
it allows to regenerate the object code during a debug session,
and continue the debugging with the new code without restarting the program.
Press F10 after you changes source code and enjoy.
F7 resets the session - forget it.
Another related tool is the "Set instruction pointer" debugger command,
which is available only from Tools/Customize/Commands/Debug.
It looks as an yellow arrow with a blue thin curved arrow.
Move it to your toolbar and enjoy.

Working on bug 687351 with CAIB_highres_page4.pdf, we detected a set of old bugs.
They caused a heap corruption and crash.
To reproduce the crash apply the patch of the bug 687351 to lib/pdf_font.ps

1. pdf_resize_resource_arrays was called with a wrong array size (gdevpdtc.c).
2. pdf_resize_resource_arrays did not expand CIDToGIDMap (gdevpdtf.c).
3. gs_type42_glyph_info accepted a wrong type of the return value of get_glyph_index.
4. Copying a CIDFontType 2, CIDCount was wrong (gxfcopy.c).
5. pdf_obtain_cidfont_resource wrongly processed the case of shared font descendents :
font compatibility was not checked, rather they may have different Metrics,
Metrics2, CDevProc, CIDMap (gdevpdtt.c).
6. Implemented a dynamic expansion of CIDMap for copied fonts.
7. In font copies CIDMap used the code 0xFFFF for representing unmapped glyphs.
8. Inserted the comment into gdevpdtf.c :
/* fixme : Likely pdfont->u.cidfont.CIDToGIDMap duplicates
pdfont->FontDescriptor->base_font->copied->client_data->CIDMap.
Only difference is 0xFFFF designates unmapped CIDs.

Implementing current point with double precision.
DETAILS :
The old code stores the current point in pgs->ppath->position
with the 'fixed' representation in the device space coordinates.
This appears insufficiently precise if a document constructs a path
with multiple 'rlineto' or 'rcurveto'. A significant to error accumulation happens.
We implement the current point with 'double', duplicating pgs->ppath->position
with the new field gs_imager_state::current_point.
We can't replace pgs->ppath->position with the new one due to several reasons :
- Sometimes (in the text processing, in arc processing and in reversepath)
a new current point is computed when imager state is not accessible.
- Don't want to spend processor time for conversion double to fixed,
whenever a fixed is needed.
- Don't want to modify many of low level modules;
Text operation always round the current point to 'fixed'.
Note that the convertion from fixed to double is always precise,
therefore we widely use it with text operations.
Thus this improves the precision of moveto, lineto, curveto,
rmoveto, rlineto, rcurveto, but the precision of other operators
left as it was. Likely there is no strong need to improve text operations
due to pixel rounding, but it would be useful to improve arc, arcn, arct, arcto.
However an improvement of arc operations isn't a high priority,
and after this patch becomes a local change.
We removed ppath->outside_position, because
pgs->current_point now effectively handles this feature.
Due to that the rounded pgs->current_point may be unequal to pgs->ppath->position
when the current point is outside the range.
The configuration flag PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT defined in gxstate.h
helps to debug the new code with raster comparizon with the old code.
PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 0 works same as the old code except the
coordinate clamping. Therefore once tested with the comparison,
the further validation reduced to a validation of the code
swtched by the flag - this part pof code is pretty small.
The mode (PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 0) **MUST**NOT** go to production
due to the dropped clamping. PRECISE_CURRENTPOINT 1 handles the clamping.

Log message:
Implement 687347: Implementation of the PDF encryption feature:
EncryptMetadata. Past versions of the PDF encryption have always
encrypted metadata. With this feature it is possible to NOT encrypt
metadata streams. I.e. By adding '/EncryptMetadata false' to the
encryption dictionary.
DETAILS:
There are two pieces to the implementation:
1. The calculation of the user password key includes an additional
step of feeding 0xffffffff to the md5 input if EncryptMetadata is
false. (Ask Adobe, not me.) The PDF 1.5 spec. says that
EncryptMetadata is an undocumented feature of PDF 1.4. This
implies that this action needs to be done for values of R in the
Encrypt dictionary of 3 or higher. However testing with Acrobat
5.0 and Acrobat 6.0 shows that this is not done for R = 3. Thus
we check for R >= 4.
2. Testing with Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0 has verified that the encryption
of metadata streams is controlled by EncryptMetadata in both versions.
Thus we check for PDF 1.4 and higher (R >= 3) and if so then we check
the stream type and the EncryptMetadata flag to determine if a stream
needs to be decrypted.</pre>

We make no attempt to parse the required metadata (resolution and so on) ourselves. It would be
simple to add this so that the program can stand alone. On the other hand, jasper is capable of
opening a number of other image formats and encoding them to jpx streams. We don't do that either,
but it would also be easy to add support for so that JPXDecode versions of arbitrary images could

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Wrong metrics when 2 font resources for same embeded font.
DETAILS :
Bug 687308 "Text in PDF Form field renders incorrectly".
The document contains 2 font resources for same embedded font.
PDF interpreter first creates a copy of the font, replacing the metrics with Widths.
Then it creates another copy of the with no replaced metrics. But
it used the first copy (through findfont) instead the original font,
and the Metrics in the second copy appears wrong.
This patch applies pdfcachefont for embedded fonts,
to allow retrieving original fonts for subsequeent font resources.

Switching to the new code.
Now trapezoid sides are independent on bands, clipping and scans.
Any trapesoid side is equal to some flattened piece of an outline segment.
A massive difference happens due to the old code recognized low trapezoids as rectangles.
The new code does not because it checks the verticality with longer bars.

Implementation of 687326 Enhancement: Handling of PDF 1.5encryption.
DETAILS:
The PDF 1.5 specification has added several some features for
encryption of PDF documents.
1. The new encryption changes are indicated by a /R value of
4 in the Encryption dictionary. Note: The encryption algorithm
is the same as /R = 3.
2. The encryption handling for strings and streams may now be
specified independently. Current possibilities are 'Identity'
and the standard handler.
Note: There are more encryption features in the PDF 1.5 specification.
HowevertThe only means that I have for generating test files for these
new encryption features is Acrobat 6.0. This patch will decode files
which are encrypted using Acrobat 6.0. There is one more feature
(EncryptMetaData) which will be the subject of a separate patch.
Between the features covered by the current patch and the EncryptMetaData
patch, this includes all of the capabilities that are available to a user
of Acrobat 6.0. Since Acrobat 6.0 is the major producer of files with
these new encryption features, Ghostscript will have the ability to
decrypt files which we are likely to see in the near future.</pre>

Fix for 687274 White areas appear shaded.
DETAILS:
This 'problem' is caused by a 'feature'. The high resolution transfer
function deliberately has a piece of logic that forces any shade of gray
that is not pure white (i.e. greater than 0.998) to halftone with at
least one pixel being set in the output. This keeps nearly white shades
from being washed out.
We have seen several instances in which this 'feature' causes a problem.
The fax output format tiffg4 has been bitten by this problem since it is
commonly used at 204 dpi.
This change removes this feature.</pre>

Fix (pdfwrite) : Errors were missed processing a shading data stream.
DETAILS :
Bug 687307 "A ShadingType 7 differs from Adobe."
shade_next_flag interpreted a wrong data as End-Of-Data,
so that some wrong documents were passed with no error.
Now pdfwrite handles the bad shading data exception separately from
other errors: the shading is fully written and the error is signaled
to the PS interpreter after that. Note that other errors terminate immediately
with inconsistent data written to the PDF output. We did the special
processing to provide a better conformity to some buggy Genoa tests,
which paint a shading with a wrong data in a stopped context.
Besides that, we cancelled the default implementation fallback
when pdf_setfillcolor fails. The old implementation caused
shadings to convert into a huge set of rectangles written to PDF.
We believe that signalling an error is the right reaction for this case.

pdfwrite :
446-01.ps now prints error message to the raster. This is a progression.

Add a parameter which prevents the non-standard four element PageSize

with PostScript programs that examine the InputAttributes entries in an
attempt to pick the 'best fit' rather than relying on the setpagedevice

<pre>
Initial implementation of the JPXDecode filter using the JasPer library
for decoding the JPEG 2000 data. This version only implements a
postscript-level filter; PDF support will follow in another commit.
DETAILS:
A new FEATURE_DEV, 'jpx.dev', is added to the makefile to enable
support. The jasper library must be available to link with in this case.
The library is autodetected in the autoconf build, but not yet enabled
on other platforms.
The implementation leaves a little to be desired. While JasPer is
robust, it provides no way to connect its internal stream architecture
to ours, so we end up buffering all the data. This seems to be the best
we can do without modifying the library.
We try to handle data from a number of colorspaces, but the spec is a
little vague on what is required. We convert YUV to RGB internally, but
do not handle sub-sampled planes.</pre>

Optimized the patch decomposition.
1. Triangles are divided along the color gradient.
Since the color gradient is vector, actually we divide
along the gradient of the Manhattan"s color norm.
2. Rectangles are divided into 2 triangles by the diagonal
with smaller color difference.
3. Improved conditions for compiling wedge_buf.
4. Implemented VD_TRACE_TRIANGLE_PATCH.

Improving the filling algorithm, step D7.
DETAILS :
When filling an individual trapezoid, a shortcut
for parallelograms could miss some pixels.
When the left boundary rounds to a vertical line
and the right one does not, for the right boundary it
wrongly applied same zero sampling as for the left one,
in spite of the right boundary can cross pixel centers.
We realize that the shortcut could improve a view
of some parallelograms. But in same time we detected that
in alphabet.ps with 72dpi a parallelogram was replaced
with a wider one, causing a worse view of the character '#'.
So its usefullness is arguable.
Both features can't provide simultaneousely
due to the device interface can't pass a flag whether
an exact coverage is required.
Therefore we drop the shortcut.

Adapt makefile support for compiling in zlib to support v1.2.x rather
than 1.1.x. Linking to a shared version is unaffected.
DETAILS:
The zlib source was re-arranged from the 1.1.4 to the 1.2.x releases.
While binary compatibility was maintained, and we link just fine to a
separately build dynamic zlib, our custom makefile support for compiling
in the library source no longer works.
Rather than add a 'ZLIB_VERSION' makefile variable and the attendent
configuration costs, we've simply migrated completely to the new (much
faster) 1.2.x series. 1.2.1 is now the minimum version to be used if you
wish to compile zlib as part of Ghostscript.</pre>

<pre>
Improving the filling algorithm, step D6.
DETAILS :
The algorithm for for filling an individual trapezoid
used a wrong formula when rounding a coordinate to pixel index.
An intersection of a trapezoid boundary with a scanline
is represented as a rational value, in which the fraction
represent a part of an unit of 'fixed'.
Computing a pixel index, the fraction was ignored.
Due to that the spot sides were biased into about 1/256 pixels.
The bias appears important when some trapezoids are fixed with
swapped coordinate axes, because the bias appears in an opposite
direction to one with unswapped axes. Therefore a decomposition
of a shading missed pixels, which fall exactly into the biased
boundary, causing a dropout.
Here is the analyzis of the old rounding :
We must paint pixels with index i such that
Xl <= i + 0.5 < Xr
The condition is is equivalent to
Xl - 0.5 <= i < Xr - 0.5
which is equivalent to
(is_integer(Xl - 0.5) ? Xl - 0.5 : ceil(Xl - 0.5)) <= i <
(is_integer(Xr - 0.5) ? Xr - 0.5 : floor(Xr - 0.5) + 1)
(the last '+1" happens due to the strong comparizon '<')
which is equivalent to
ceil(Xl - 0.5) <= i < ceil(Xr - 0.5)
trap_line represents the intersectiion coordinate as a rational value :
Xl = xl + e - fl
Xr = xr + e - fr
gxdtfill.c computes l.x = x0l + (fixed_half - fixed_epsilon).
In our notation it is equal to :
xl' := xl + 0.5 - e
xr' := xr + 0.5 - e
Then
xl = xl' - 0.5 + e
xr = xr' - 0.5 + e
Xl = xl' - 0.5 + 2e - fl
Xr = xr' - 0.5 + 2e - fr
ceil(xl' - 0.5 + 2e - fl - 0.5) <= i < ceil(xr' - 0.5 + 2e - fr - 0.5)
which is equivalent to
ceil(xl' + 2e - fl) - 1 <= i < ceil(xr' + 2e - fr) - 1
We have :
ceil(xl' + 2e - fl) - 1 ==
(is_integer(xl' + 2e - fl) ? xl' + 2e - fl - 1 : ceil(xl' + 2e - fl) - 1) ==
(is_integer(xl' + 2e - fl) ? xl' + 2e - fl - 1 : floor(xl' + 2e - fl))
Since -e <= fl < 0, it is equal to
(is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? xl' + 2e - fl - 1 : floor(xl' + 2e - fl)) ==
(is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? xl' + e - 1 :
is_integer(xl' + e) && e != fl ? floor(xl' + 2e - fl)
!is_integer(xl' + e) && e != fl ? floor(xl' + 2e - fl)
!is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? floor(xl' + 2e - fl)) ==
(is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? xl' + e - 1 :
is_integer(xl' + e) && e != fl ? xl' + e :
!is_integer(xl' + e) && e != fl ? floor(xl' + e)
!is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? floor(xl' + e)) ==
(is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? xl' + e - 1 : floor(xl'))
And the condition is equivalent to
(is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl ? xl' + e - 1 : floor(xl')) <= i <
(is_integer(xr' + e) && e == fr ? xl' + e - 1 : floor(xr'))
But the old code computes
floor(xl') <= i < floor(xr'))
Thus when is_integer(xl' + e) && e == fl,
it wrongly shifts the rounded boundary in 1 pixel to the left.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
Almost all tests render differently.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Charproc can change scale before calling setcachedevice.
DETAILS :
Bug 687290 "pdfwrite generate too large glyphs".
To know that CTM changed by a charproc before setcachedevice or setcharwidth,
we set identity CTM before entering the charproc.
If setcachedevice or setcharwidth decides to fall back to
the default implementation, we restore the CTM in there.
The condition in gdevpdtt.c 1931 is changed,
causing minor differences with Bug687044.ps and muur.eps .
We found that a further improvement would be useful for
a better handling of a composite font with a Type 3 descendent.

Fix: Improving the decision whether the dropout prevention to be applied.
DETAILS :
1. The old code applied the dropout prevention
if gx_fill_params::adjust = 0.
It worked since the latter was set to 0 only for characters.
Now we intend to discontinue the fill adjustment with shadings,
so the old condition won't be applicable in further revisions.
Therefore we reserve the value -1 of gx_fill_params::adjust
especially for designating characters with a dropout prevention,
and percept it in the filling algorithm (We tried to use
new special flag for designeting characters,
but it requires an enhancement to the clist language.).
2. The old code has a problem with PaintType 2 fonts :
it applied the dropout prevention to strokes.
This patch fixes that with checking PaintType in gxtype1.c .

<pre>
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C17.
DETAILS :
Do not filter out short flattened segments.
We believe that the old code was not conforming to PLRM due to filtering small
segments after flatteingng a curve.
We believe that the filtering has 2 purposes :
1. Prevent the filling algorythms from zero length segments;
2. Speed up the filling with reducing the number of vertices in a polygon.
The new filling algorithm handles zero length segments with no problem,
and the speeding up appears within 1% except for shadings.
We believe that the rendering quality is more important.
The performance of shadings to be fixed separately.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes rendering differences with almost all of comparefiles :

Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C16.
DETAILS :
Switching to the new scanline algorithm based on the flattened iterator.
Now both the trapezoid and the scanline algorithm use same flattened path.
Differences in rasters appears due to 2 reasons :
1. An inprecise expressions used in the old algorithm in gx_curve_x_at_y :
the iteration of midpoint_fast accumulates a big rounding error.
The new algorithm have smaller error due to 3*log2(N) fraction bits
while the coordinate accumulation, where N is the number of flattened segments.
2. The old algorithm used inprecise expressions in pco_monotonize.
The new algorithm applies a flattening instead the monotonization.

<pre>
Simplifying the filling algorithm, step C7.
DETAILS :
This is a preparation for removing the coord_near filter
from the flattening algorithm.
We believe that the the coord_near filter was implemented for
two purposes : (1) prevent the filling algorithm from
zero-height segments, and (2) speed up the filling with
reducing the number of vertices in the polygon.
Now the filling algorithms can handle zero length segments
due to conformity to gx_flattened_iterator.
Thus the reason (1) is not longer important.
The skipping of some vertices speeds up in 3% at 600dpi
rendering with ppmraw to null file.
But sometimes it produces raster distortions,
such as an asymmetric raster for symmetric outlines.
When we fixed the distortions,
the speeding up appears within 0.5%.
We decided to remove the coord_near filter, because so small
echonony of processor time is less important than the distortions.
This patch introduces a new swicth DONT_FILTER_SMALL_SEGMENTS,
and make the compilation of coord_near filter to depend on it.

pdfwrite : Implementing the PDF 1.4 encryption, step 14.
DETAILS :
Elements of pdfmark elements were not encryptrd.
Since gs/lib/gs_pdfwr.ps serializes pdfmark elements,
we would like to encrypt them before the serialization.
However it would require to implement a new PS operator to pass the
encription keys from the device to the PDF interpreter.
Since this way appears cumbersome, we decided to
unserialize data in the device. For doing that we implement
a simple parser in pdf_put_composite.

Fix : Partially restoring the old behavior of the filling algorithm.
DETAILS :
When we dropped the compatibility with the patch
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-January/004061.html,
one case of the flattening condition was not perfect.
Sorry for detecting this late.
Now we put another condition, which differs from both the old and the last one,
but the new one is symmetric and provides lesser distortions.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This change causes a massive difference,
which may partially undo the difference of the patch mentioned above.

Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B6.
DETAILS :
The previous patch left some rudinents, removing them now :
1. Switch off the self-testing.
2. Remove gx_check_nearly_collinear.
3. Removed the CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL0_COMPATIBLE 0 section from
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered because it
can't provide the backscan consistency.

<pre>
Fix for Bug 687255 pcl output shifted to bottom of page. Correct
the order of the PCL commands at the start of page for the ljet devices.
DETAILS:
This problem surfaced when a previous fix 686815 was made. That fix
corrected a line of code which was setting the page seize in the output
file.
With the correct page size being specified in the output file, there were
some side effects. Setting the page size resets several other items,
including the starting page X and Y offsets.
The fix for this problem consists of simply moving the setting of the page
size three lines earlier in the file. Now the page size is set prior to
the page X and Y offsets, which are set as part of this line:

Simplifying the filling algorithm, step B1.
DETAILS :
This starts a new sequence of patches to the filling algorithm.
It's goal is a further simplification.
We deetected that MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS 1 section is an old optimization,
which speeds up in 1.3% and complicates the code in 30%.
Besides that, it causes inprecise results with the dropout prevention.
At last, the name "MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS" doesn't reflect
its effect : actually it merges segments nearly parallwel to coordinate axis,
which may be unlimitedly long and have an unlimited angle.
Therefore we believe that this optimization is not well defined,
appears unuseful, and to be cancelled.
This patch is a preparation for removing the MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS
section. We made this switch global and we bracketed more code sections,
which appear unuseful without MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS.
This patch almost is a change to a disabled code.
But the change to gxfill.c ln 1238,1241 goes to the enabled code
and appears algorithmically equivalent :
with MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS 1 this branch is equivalent to noop.

Create a new dynamic header 'gconfigd.h' for non-platform-specific defines. Variables like
GS_LIB_DEFAULT which were previously tacked onto the end of gconfig.h have been moved to the new
header. This change is necessary to pass the default path for the persistent cache from the
makefile.
DETAILS:
The persistent cache is implemented in the gp layer, but previously it was illegal to access
gconfig.h from code inside the graphics library, it the sense that the build would fail. This is
because of the crazy way operator definitions are collected in dev files before they are
consolidated in gconfig.h.
We don't want to use gconfigv.h because that header is platform-specific is generated by different
code on every platform. Therefore, while this isn't a real fix for gconfig.h circular inclusion
issue, a new header is reasonably motivated.</pre>

Fix : The PCL interpreter doesn't provide pattern streams.
DETAILS :
gx_pattern_cache_lookup falied when called by the PCL interpreter
because the PCL interpreter doesn't provide high level pattern streams.
Actially the compatibility of the graphics library to the PCL interpreter
was broken since gsptype1.c revision 1.16.
This patch introdices a new argument for the function gs_state_set_client.
Using the argument, a client tells to the graphics library
whether the client provides pattern streams. If not,
the graphics librery emulates the old behavior based
on raster parretns only.
The new flag gs_imager_state::have_pattern_streams stores the
compatibility mode. We would prefer it to be a member of the
graphics library instance, but the instance is not implemented yet.
Storing it to gs_imager_state may cause some undeserable effects,
especially when a device creates a temporary graphic state for
an internal use (the clist device is an example).
We assume that none of devices provides pattern streams,
and this assumption should be reasonable for current applications.
The mechanizm for generating patters streams is still
coded specifically to the PS interpreter in pattern_paint_prepare
in zpcolor.c . This solution to be considered as a temporary one.
We should refactor it into 2 parts : one specific for the PS interpreter,
and another one being common for all applications,
which should be a part of the graphics library.
This patch had passed the regression test with the PS interpreter,
but it was not tested with the PCL interpreter.
Debugging it with PCL to be a next step.

Fix for "687252 subfiledecode errors on includes greater than the
size of a uint". In spite of the bug name, the problem is not
related to the actual size of the subfile or to the size of a uint.
The actual problem is a missing required parameter: EODCount.
However Adobe once again ignores the missing parameter and what is
specified in the PRLM-3rd.
DETAILS:
The given test file has a SubFileDecode filter without the required
EODCount parameter.
Ghostscript is rejecting the test file because the parameter is not
defined. The RangeCheck error message is the result of the following
piece of code in zfilter.c:
if ((code = dict_int_param(op, "EODCount", 0, max_int, -1, &count)) < 0)
return code;
This sets a default value of -1 for EODCount and then checks it
against the range 0 to max_int. Thus when EODCount is not found
we get the rangecheck since -1 is outside the allowed range.
In spite of the fact that the EODCount is a required parameter,
Adobe Distiller 6.0, my CP1700PS printer, and CPSI 3010.105 print
this file without complaint.
This fix changes the default value to 0 to match Adobe and adds a
comment explaining why the code differs from the spec.</pre>

Fix (type 1 hinter) : Wrong outline with a huge scale.
DETAILS :
An arithmetic error happened when scaling a glyph to a huge size
(about 100000 pixels), causing a wrong outline.
Actually some coordinate values were replaced with zeros.
Thanks to Jeong Kim for detecting that.
The bug was detected with -r1500 with the test file of
the bug 686975 "Black box when converting to tiff".
Note that the bug report is wrong :
it says that the document with -r150 is bad and -r1500 is good.
Comparing rasters with Adobe we concluded exactly vise versa :
-r150 was compatible and -r1500 was incompatible.
After this patch both resolutions are compatible to Adobe.
Probably the user won't like them due to a bug in the document :
it paints a huge glyph, which is a hundred times bigger than the page size.
The document needs a fix.

possibly other 256 color devices, use a slightly different path. First
the color is processed in direct mode. If a color is not in the palatte

Also improving the log messages because this revision appears better than was explained.
It works fine with 40 bits keys and with 128 bits keys.
With other key lengthes it creates PDFs that GS can open with either user or owner password,
but Adobe Reader 6 doesn't open them, reporting a wrong password.
That's a problem though.

<pre>
Initial commit of the persistent cache implementation. This version supports only the *nix
platform and does not include any eviction logic. Also currently the cache directory and
empty 'gs_cache' index file must be created manually.
DETAILS:
Two new calls have been added to the gp layer: gp_cache_insert() and gp_cache_query(). These
take a byte buffer as a key under which another buffer can be stored or recalled. In addition to
the key, buffers are filed by 'type' which provides a separate namespace for each kind of
data. These types should be one of the GP_CACHE_TYPE_* defines in gp.h.
The query call takes a callback for allocating the buffer to be filled. Thus, all memory
management for the key and value buffers is handled by the client and the query returns
the data (if any) within a single call.
A pair of postscript test operators, .pcacheinsert and .pcachequery are provided in zmisc.c,
however they are disabled by default to prevent access to the cache by malicious postscript
programs. They operate only with the 'test' type, so a denial-of-service attack is the only
real risk; however we anticipate all access will be from C code. Compile with the DEBUG_CACHE
preprocessor symbol to enable these.
Improvements and implementations for other platforms are to follow.</pre>

Fix problems with the "image" device when the palette is an 8-bit gray
palette (uses the image8 device with num_components == 1). Since the
DeviceN changes, changing num_components requires also setting the
gray_index value appropriately. Also the rgb to color mapping function
did not allow for num_components == 1 and used uninitialized values for
the green and blue comonents. Fixes bugs 458261, 686909 and 687204.
DETAILS:
The gray_index value was being left at GX_CINFO_COMP_NO_INDEX, so the
gx_device_has_color macro indicated a color device. This means that
when the gs_initialize_wordimagedevice function changed the num_components
value to 1, the gray_index was incorrect (should be 0 for a gray shade
device).
Also the mem_mapped_map_rgb_color function didn't check for num_components
== 1, thus using uninitialized cv[1] and cv[2] values and getting incorrect
palette selections. Also I optimized the single component case a bit as
well as an "early out" for both color and monochrome when diff == 0 (can't
get any better than a perfect match).
I guess 8-bit monochrome image devices haven't been used much.

pdfwrite : Merge redundant images.
DETAILS :
Bug 687224 "large pdf file size".
With this change pdfwrite compares images for equality
and merges same images into a single XObject, except for inline images.
A new pdfwrite device parameter MaxInlineImageSize controls
inline images. See gs\doc\Ps2pdf.htm . Use it to disable
inline images if the source document contains multiple redundant
small images.
A new vitrtual function cos_object_t::cos_procs->equal is implemented
for object comparizon. But the current implementation is restricted
with current needs. Particularly it doesn't implement cos arrays,
and assumes equal stream segmentation for equal streams.
To be improved someday.
Note that an image is copied to temporary file before a comparizon.
If the image appears redundant, the current implementation sometimes doesn't
release the space consumed in the temporary file. Therefore the disk must
have enough space for storing all copies. We could improve this using
a smarter method than cos_stream_release_pieces, because an image can interlive
only with same image of an alternative compression.
To be improved someday.

Unequivocally include stdlib.h in echogs.c to avoid a warning on the Sun ONE Studio 7 compiler as
reported in bug 687234.
DETAILS:
The code in echogs.c calls exit() which is defined in stdlib.h. However it was not including that
header (except) on VMS because of portability concerns, resulting in the reported 'implicit
function definition' warning. The echogs program must be available before genarch runs and the
std.h-based portability headers are available, so wide build support for this code is important.
However, such platforms are now very old and comments elsewhere in the code suggest that any
compiler supporting ANSI prototypes as we now require will also have a stdlib.h that defines
exit(). If this change causes a problem, #ifdef code similar to what was used in gp_unix.c can be
used instead.</pre>

Implementing a True Type grid fitting, step 8.
DETAILS :
1. Renamed monotonize_internal to gx_curve_monotonize.
2. Allowed the curved trapezoid algorithm for non-characters.
2 fragments changed for this purpose : passed all_bands to intersect_al
and removed the restriction in gxfill.c ln 482.
This causes minor differences in rasters listed below.
3. Introduced false_stub for better readability.
This change is algorithmically equivalent.
4. Improved 2 cases in scan_contour with p.monotonic check.
The old code was wrong, but our testbase doesn't have
such cases in characters. Discovered with (2).
5. In gxttfb.c applied a curve monotonization after
decoding a True Type glyph. It allows to
apply Type 1 hints to non-monotonic stems.
This change currently is disabled.

Fix for fonts being displayed using .notdef character (empty boxes or other
appearance). While the test file doesn't follow the PDF 1.3 or later manual
recommendations for providing a [1,0] cmap for an embedded symbolic TT font,
Adobe Acrobat Reader can display these characters. When the 'post' table
doesn't provide the glyphs required by the /Differences list, try another
cmap [3,0] to get the correct glyph (names and glyph #'s). Bug #686959 for
customer #1060.
DETAILS:
The Adobe PDF 1.4 Reference Manual has some "hints" for producing portable
PDF's, but as far as reading PDF's that don't follow these hints, all that
is said (in section 5.5.5, p.333) is:
Note: Some popular TrueType font programs contain incorrect encoding
information. Implementations of TrueType font interpreters have
evolved heuristics for dealing with such problems; those heuristics
are not described here. For maximum portability, only well-formed
TrueType font programs should be used in PDF files.
The approach of trusting the 'post' table unless the glyphs given do not
include glyphs that are mentioned in the 'prebuilt_encoding' (Differences),
is a heuristic that works for this file and doesn't interfere with any
other PDF's in the regression test. The thing about heuristics is that
the 'intelligence' they embody is no better than the understanding of the
best solution, so this may crop up again later (but we hope not).
Note that simply using the 00030000 cmap [3,0] format causes the regression
file 'test_multipage_prob.pdf' to fail with some .notdef characters.</pre>

Fix : Trapezoid algorithm could cause topology distortions.
DETAILS :
There were 2 types of possible distortions : inversed or self-intersecting trapezoids,
and overlapping trapezoids. Rather they are pretty rare (and a consequtive
pixel miscoverage are extremily rare), they break the topology analyzis with
the spotan device.
The distortion happen due to inprecize computations of line intersections.
The coordinate of the intersection is represented in 'fixed', which can't be
precise in most cases. Therefore the intersection point appear slightly shifted.
The harmful thing was a different shift of the same point for each of
the intersecting lines.
This patch brings 2 improvements :
1. Intersecting 2 lines, assign same X to both.
A special care is taken about vertical lines.
2. After intersections are computed, we check whether the coordinates
appear in a wrong order by X. If so, we fix it with computing the average coordinate
and assigning it to all lines. This must give a correct topology with
a small processor time expense.
Monor change : fixed some Cygwin/gcc warnings.

Raster depended on the band size (a partial fix).
DETAILS :
The old code used the Y coordinate of a top boundary of a band
as a basis for computing a sampling factor of sloped lines.
Therefore sloped lines generated "stairs" with a dependence of
the phase on the band coordinate.
This patch removes that dependence. Therefore the new banded
raster appears closer to the unbanded raster.
But the banded raster still can be different.
We don't intend to fix it now. We did only a simplest part, which
is neccessary for the current development needs.
This patch also causes some differences, which are not related to the banding.
This happens due to bands and clip boxes come to the filling algorithm
in same data field. The dependence on the clip box is dropped as well.

Fix : The dropout prevention code could render an occasional raster.
DETAILS :
We discovered that the old filling algorithm has a non-well-defined behavior
when painting a group of contacting vertical stems with dropout prevention.
The result of the old code appears depending on the order of lines in the X list.
However when vertical lines have same X coordinate,
their order was occasional, and the resulting raster appears
deterministically occasional.
A new section in gxfill.c near line 1629 fixes that, see comment in there.
Another included change to a disabled code brings the curved trapezoid algorithm closer
to the uncurved one. It fixes 2 minor problems with horizontal lines.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes a minor difference in some rasters,
which we consider as progressions due to lesser dropouts.
(Well, it is arguable whether the old feature is a dropout at all,
but we'd like to have a well defined raster with no dependence
on unimportant things such as which contour point is choosen for the starting point).

Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 14.
DETAILS :
This patch changes a disabled code only.
Before this patch the backward iterator works fine, but we are
unhappy of its complexity. Rather it passed the full testing
with comparefiles, a theoretical proof of its correctness is too hard.
Also it highly depends on the old code in MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS section,
which doesnt look as a well defined code.
Therefore we went back to the implementation based on a bitmask.
It represents which points were filtered out while the forward iteration.
It consumes some bigger memory (488 bytes per active line),
but we believe that the C stack consupmtion
is still lesser than one in the Type 1 hinter.
Now we bring both implementations into a single revision,
and define a configuration macro FLATTENED_ITERATOR_BACKSCAN
for switching between them.
The KISS principle strongly votes for the bitmask implementation.
This patch also renamed CHECK_BACKSCAN_CONSISTENCY with FLATTENED_ITERATOR_SELFTEST
for a better structurization, and removed some low useful comments.

DETAILS:
As noted, "real" printer devices such as laserjets, and inkjets should
set up their own InputAttributes dictionaries that do not include the
'range' type page size.
If the page size is not an exact match (off by less than 5 points), then
the page size range will take priority. This is in a non-standard area
of Ghostscript, but must be preserved for those that want exact PageSize
such as for generating raster images of a specific dimension. If the
range page size is present, then automatic rotation will not be used.
If a PageSize is present in both orientations, such as [612 792] and
[792 612], then priorty will be given to the slot that matches without
automatic rotation.

Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 11.
DETAILS :
This patch contains a minor change to the enabled code, and
a big change to the disabled code.
The change to the enabled code only inserts some new fields
into gx_flattened_iterator, actually defining a subclass.
The enabled code doesn't use them, but provides some initialization.
The change to disabled code defines a backward iterator for
filtered flattened curve segments. Actually we define two ones :
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered1 - filters points with 'coords_near'
gx_flattened_iterator__prev_filtered2 - filters points with 'coords_near' and
'gx_check_nearly_collinear'.
The forward and the backward iterators are made to enumerate same points,
which the old does while flatteining a curve. The old code has
a lot of anomalies, therefore the backward iterators appear
very coplicated. We're planning to drop the compatibility and
simplify the iterators after the curved trapezoid algorithm passes
the compatibility test.
The compilation mode CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL0_COMPATIBLE 1 is not completed.

This is the first pass at the changes to support the PDF 1.5 revisions
to the PDF format.
DETAILS:
The PDF 1.5 revision to the PDF specification contains two major
additions to the format of a PDF document. Objects can be encoded
in compressed data streams called and object streams. Xref tables
were also changed to allow the identification of objects in
object streams and also to allow the compression of xref tables.
Together these changes reduced the size of the PDF 1.5 specification
from 13.5 MB (PDF 1.4 version) to 8.7 MB (PDF 1.5 version).
pdf_main.ps and pdf_rbld.ps - The changes in these modules were for
the support of compressed XRef tables. The major part of these
changes consist of the refactoring of readxref into pieces. One
piece identifies the old format versus compressed XRef tables.
A second piece supports the reading of old format XRef tables.
The procedure readpdf15xref was added to read compressed XRef
tables. A new larray called ObjectStream was added for
identifying the location of objects which are inside a compressed
object stream. The changes for the addition of ObjectStream
also affect pdf_base.ps.
pdf_base.ps - The procedures resolveR and resolved? had to be extended
to support the presence of the objectstream type. A new procedure
called resolveobjectstream was added for resolving objects inside
of object streams.
The code listing below has two versions of the resolveobjectstream
procedure. I want to keep a record of both versions of this
procedure in CVS. The first version is theoretically more robust
than the second. It unpacks and processes objects from an object
stream one at a time. To insure that this occurs, it creates a
string of the exact size of an object and then unpacks and processes
the object. However it is also very slow. Processing of a test
document (PDF 1.5 spec.) with this routine is 4 times slower
than processing a version of the PDF 1.5 spec. which does not use
object streams. The second version of the procedure unpacks the
entire object stream and then processes each object. Thus any
problem which occurs with one object could, in theory, affect another
object. The second version is much faster. There is about a 4%
penalty for processing the compressed version of the PDF 1.5 spec.
After the initial check in, the first version of resolveobjecstream
will be removed unless some need is found for its robustness.</pre>

Fix a premature closedevice leading to a SEGV when a setpagedevice follows
a setdevice with the only reference to the device in the graphics state.
Bug #687204 detected with ps2epsi.ps.
DETAILS:
the ps2epsi.ps sets an image device, then does a .setsafe which uses
setpagedevice to set .LockSafetyParams. Eventually setpagedevice results
in a call to gs_setdevice_no_init, but the reference count to the current
device is 1 so even though the device is not being changed, the device
was being closed (which freed the buffer and line pointers). Usually
the currentdevice reference count is > 1 since there is more than one
gstate containing a pointer to the device.
This has been broken since 8.10 when version 1.19 was released with
some changes to device finalization.
Note that ps2epsi.ps is extremely fragile and still doesn't work with
examples/alphabet.ps after the patch (due to the "clear cleardictstack
alphabetsave restore" logic at the end. This patch is ONLY for the SEGV.

Fix .gethalftone to prevent /undefinedresource or other error from being
left in the $error dict. Seen with UnusualFontMatrix.ps when running under
startjob encapsulation.
DETAILS:
Internal procedures like .gethalftone that want to use stopped but don't
propagate the error up should use .internalstopped since this doesn't
set /newerror in $error.
The file mentioned has a 'quit' following the showpage which when running
under job encapsulation (false 0 startjob) is redefined to do 'stop'.
This means that the /newerror flag in $error was being seen when the
'stop' after the showpage was executed.</pre>

Fix : The flattening algorithm inaccurately filtered points.
Bug 687154 "Bugs in gx_flatten_sample".
DETAILS :
The old algorithm has 2 problems, which persist since March 20, 2000 or later :
1. When points buffer overflows, it doesn't filter
the next point with MERGE_COLLINEAR_SEGMENTS.
2. With sn_not_first the first point was duplicated,
and the last one was missed.
This patch fixes both problems.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes differences flattening long curves.
311-03.ps and 205-13.ps at 300dpi demonstrate a strong progression.
Other differences should be progressions as well.

Fix incorrect handling of the '\' escape character in the filenameforall
implementation on Windwows. Fixes bug #687151. Also fix logic in the
.scanfontdir that relied on the incorrect filenameforall implementation.
DETAILS:
The previous NT filenameforall implementation did not translate the
template string to be used by the FindFirstFile Windows call. This
meant that the template was being passed the '\' escape characters
which were not correctly handled by the OS call.
Also testing -sFONTPATH=\Winnt\Fonts showed that this was also broken
in gs_fonts.ps since it didn't duplicate the '\' characters for the
template to filenameforall.
Note that other gp_* implementations of file enumeration don't
seem to handle escapes such as gp_unifs.c. The gp_macio.c doesn't
do anything, and the gp_dosfe.c (deprecated) seems totally broken.
The gp_os2.c appears to be a clone of the gp_ntfs.c, so should be
fixed. About the only version that seems to be handling the '\'
character according to the PLRM is gp_vms.c (can you believe that?).

Simplify the filtering of points while flattening a curve.
DETAILS :
This change is algorithmically equivalent due to algebraic laws.
Thesis : (coord_near(x2, x0) && coords_in_order(x0, x1, x2)) implies
coord_near(x2, x1).
Proof:
case 1:
x0 >= x1 >= x2 ==> abs(x2 - x1) <= abs(x2 - x0);
case 2:
x0 >= x1 >= x2 ==> abs(x2 - x1) <= abs(x2 - x0);
Therefore coord_near(x2, x1) doesn't need to check and has been removed.
Same for Y.
Then merged 2 branches with '||' because they appear same.
The performance slightly increases, and the behavior is easier to understand.

Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 6.
DETAILS :
This change modifies a disabled code,
and includes a minor change to the enabled code,
which should be algorithmically equivalent.
In the enabled code factored out the new function add_y_line_aux.
This patch fixes the dropout problem in CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL 1.
The problem was unprocessed horizontal segments of curves.
Now we create a new temporary horizontal line for
each horizontal segment of a curve, and add it to the Y list.
Then it immediately goes to H list, and then processed and freed.
Due to the modification of the Y list during the main
trapezoid loop (which did not happen before) the cycle
commented with
/* Move newly active lines from y to x list. */
is improved with providing a consistency of local copies
of the Y list pointers.
Good tests for this stuff present in a.pdf .
With this patch with ppmraw 72dpi it renders equal to
with CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL 0 code.

<pre>
Generalize the trapezoid filling algorithm for curves, step 5.
DETAILS :
This change modifies a disabled code only.
This patch provides more compatibility of the
CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL & FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR0_COMPATIBLE build
to the old code. Doing it with implementing the new function
gx_flattened_curve_iterator__prev.
We're not planning to pass this function to production
because it slows down. Only reason is to simplify testing with
exact comparison of results of the old and the new code.
The macro CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL_SCANS_BACK helps to remove it later.
A new field skip_points is inserted into active_line_s for same purpose.
While enumerating curve segments in a backward order,
it helps to skip same division points as the old code
does in the forward order. This thing consumes too much RAM.
It won't go to production.
One problem is left unsolved. While flattening a curve,
it can generate a horizontal segment. It must be passed to h-list
for dropout prevention. It is not done yet.
This problem causes a dropout in a Chinese glyph in a.pdf
with ppmraw 72 dpi.
For a while we don't apply CURVED_TRAPEZOID_FILL for non-characters.
The reason is that pco_monotonize works imprecisely.
Will improve someday. Most characters are free of non-monotonic curves,
but we notices a number of such in Genoa tests
and in other files.
The fragment INTERTRAP_STEM_BUG is an attempt to improve a
serif suppression while dropout prevention. The coded condition
isn't perfect. It is disabled. A better way would be to depend on
Y projection contiguity, checking sect->y0, sect->y1.
Keeping it to simplify further experimenting.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Type 1,2 composite glyphs could point to wrong subglyphs.
DETAILS :
This is a continuation of the recent patch for
Bug 687172 "Jaggies appearing for some characters".
The old code converted subglyph names to char codes with the font's Encoding.
However arguments of 'seac' command always encode glyphs by StandardEncoding.
If the fon't Encoding specifies different codes, the result was wrong.
Since the font copying routine uses gs_glyph values taken from the global
interpreter's space (see gsccode.h), which are PS name indices,
it needs to convert a glyph name string to a name index.
Before now we had no support for this.
To provide it we add a new graphics library callback
gs_font_dir::global_glyph_code.
A recommendation for PCL interpreter :
if it is called with pdfwrite, zfont_global_glyph_code to be implemented.
Maybe an implementation with gs_c_known_encode helps.
There exists a connected minor problem (PS interpreter only),
which this patch doesn't fix.
If a font is freed and then reloaded, the glyph names can get
different name indices, if a garbager is invoked and freed
the names before the second loading. As the result, the copied font
can embed duplicated glyph definitions (charstrings).
It can't give an invalid PDF, but it's size may increase. Hopely this case is rare.
Opening a new bug 687187 about this.

Correct a long standing problem that caused non-optimized builds with
MSVC on Windows. The default TDEBUG was 1, which circumvented a change
made to msvccmd.mak to enable /O2 for MSVC_VERSION != 5. Note that
with MSVC 6 Service Pack 3 is required to avoid an INTERNAL COMPILER
ERROR when compiling src/idict.c.

<blockquote>
<pre>
In the autoconf build, add the general cflags generated by the configure script to the definition
the the definition of CCAUX. This works around a problem building on cygwin.
DETAILS:
Older versions of cygwin do not provide stdint.h but do define some of the types in sys/types.h.
More recent versions do provide the header but also define them by inclusion in sys/types.h. This
caused a problem with the 'fixup' code we added in response to bug 687162 which defined the
missing half of the types if stdint.h was not detected by the configure script. In versions of
cygwin that do provide stdint.h, most files compile as expected, but genconf.c is compiled with
the alternate CCAUX compiler definition and was not receiving the -DHAVE_STDINT_H argument from
configure, causing a type conflict between the complete set of stdint types pulled in by
sys/types.h and the platform-specific fixup set included when stdint.h is supposedly not
available. Adding the GCFLAGS line to the definition of CCAUX works around the problem and has
little potential to confuse the build in the future.
A similar change made to unix-gcc.mak would need to document the -DHAVE_STDINT_H option for
cygwin. I felt this was unecessarily excessive; we already recommend the autoconf build on systems
that can support it.

Generailze the trapezoid fillling algorithm for curves, step 1.
The new code is disabled with CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 0 in gx.h .
DETAILS :
This patch slightly changes the enabled code
with adding more arguments to process_h_lists and end_x_line,
and with renaming gx_flatten_sample and gx_path_is_monotonic.
The new arguments are not used with CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 0.
With CURVED_TRAPEZIOD_FILL 1 the trapezoid filling algorithm
doesn't need to faltten the path in advance, and should work faster
due to smaller number of segment allocations.
Instead the generating of flattened segments and storing them to RAM
it breaks curves into pieces on-fly with help of
the gx_flattened_curve_iterator. Meanwhile it needs "small" curves.
To provide that we generalized gx_path_is_monotonic to gx_path__check_curves,
and gx_path_add_monotonized to gx_path_copy_reducing(..., pco_small_curves).

As Raph pointed out in the Wednesday's support call, there are actually
two problems.
1. We were not correctly recognizing that we can use a CalRGB color space
for the output. This patch corrects this problem. One of the tests in
that process was assuming an incorrect ordering to the transforms. This
fix corrects this problem.
2. The ICC color space which is being created is not equivalent to the
original CalRGB color space. This results in differing colors between

This patch :
1. Defines of the gx_flattened_curve_iterator.
2. Emulates of the old code with gx_flattened_curve_iterator.
3. Provides a compatibility to the old code bugs with FLATTENED_CURVE_ITERATOR0_COMPATIBLE.
4. Improves a debug printing in the old code, to allow a trace comparizon with the new one.
5. Improves an old comment "Fast check for n == 3" ('n' was not explained).
6. Saves stack space when gx_flatten_sample recurses.
7. Inserts a 'const' into vdtrace.* .

Replace the code that removes the additional CFLAGS added by the AC_PROG_CC autoconf

DETAILS:
On linux with gcc, AC_PROG_CC adds '-g -O2' to the general CFLAGS. This was overriding
the -O we add in Makefile.in, and the bug complains that this confuses gdb because of
code re-organization.
This change also means we no longer include full debug symbols in the normal build. I
don't consider this an improvement personally, but will bow to the traditionalists. Note
that 'strip' still reduces the size of the executable by 20%, so it's still worth
running if you're concerned about install-size.

DETAILS :
The old code wrote UCR (undercolor removal) functions with mapping 0 to 0.00392,
causing a solid black to convert to a non-solid color with pkmraw device.
The fix reduces the sample range to [0:254] and generates an appropriate Decode array.
Bug 687109 "PDF-->pkmraw: 0 0 0 RG isn't solid:.
Bug 687138 "pdfwrite is adding poor UCR functions to output files".
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
This patch causes multiple differences with pdfwrite->pkmraw.
The change to pdfwrite definitely is a progression,
but it discovers a new bug 687146 "(pdfwrite) CalRGB wrongly converts to ICCBased".
We did not check which differences are coused by the new bug.
Will see after the bug is fixed.
Updating the baseline should be fine for entire list.

Fix: Adobe Acrobat Reader ignores an empty path when setting the clip

DETAILS:
We never encountered this problem in a 'real' file, but one of Raph's
test files showed the difference in the way our PDF interpreter handled
an zero area path to setting clipping versus the way Adobe does.
Igor tested CPSI and determined that PostScript results in a zero area
clipping box, but Acrobat Reader works differently, so the patch detects
a zero area path and does not change the clipping path in that case.
The details of the determination of 0 area is commented here:
pathbbox % get the path bounding box
3 -1 roll % roll to get upper and lower Y coordinates together
sub abs % form absolute delta Y of path bbox
3 1 roll % roll upper and lower X coordinates to TOS
sub abs % form absolute delta X of path bbox
add % sum abs delta X and abs delta Y
0 ne % if it is non-zero, then perform the clip/eoclip

Fix : ..includecolorspace caused an abnormal recursion.
DETAILS :
1. With -dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS the procedure ..includecolorspace called
setcolorspace, which recursively called ..includecolorspace .
This recursion would be infinit unless an ocasional error
in a stopped context terminates it. We replace setcolorspace
with _setcolorspace_nosub to avoid the recursion.
This fixes the bug 687134 "-dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS causes text to disappear".
2. An optimization done with a new dictionary ..page_default_spaces,
which now keeps up to 3 global flags for Default* color spaces,
to reflect whether they were included into a current page.
It prevents redundant calls to _setcolorspace_nosub, .includecolorspace
from ..includecolorspace .
3. Moved .PurgeDict to gs_init.ps because now it is called from showpage, copypage .
4. Added a name argument to .includecolorspace and passed it through
a set of functions in the graphics library and pdfwrite.
Before that Default* color spaces were included into the PDF output
with wrong resource names.
5. Minor change : fixed a procedure header comment in gs_devcs.ps .
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None, because the nightly regression doesn't test -dNOSUBSTDEVICECOLORS .

Fix for 686796 tiffg4 device and incorrect halftone frequency.
This eliminates a problem with not choosing the best halftone cell size
when more than one possible cell size has the exact angle requested.
DETAILS:
Previously the logic for determing the size of the halftone cells used
the product of the error in frequency times the error in the angle as
the metric for determing the best cell size. For many common angles,
0, 45, 90, etc., this results in an angle error of zero. This then
gave a value of zero for the metric no matter what the frequency error.
The result was that in many cases we ignored cell sizes that gave a
better frequency match. The fix revies the metric to choose a cell
size which is closest (geometrically) to the ideal cell size.

Fix (font resource machinery) : Provide correct font names for graphics library.
DETAILS :
The old code passed names of substitutes rather than font names referred by a document.
This patch fixes that with adding a special ney entry /.Alias to the font dictionary.
Besides that, multiple problems are fixed in gs_fonts.ps,
some of them appeared before the repository was created.
Lising them here :
1. Several comments about stack layout in procedure headers were wrong
since the repository was created.
We repaired some of them, but possibly not all.
2. The old code assumed that SubstituteFont adds
a name to the stack rather than replaces it.
See comment inserted into .dofindfont .
The patch for the bug 637424 (Revision 1.24, Nov 21, 2002) broken the
old behavior and left multiple rudiments in code.
Now we restore the old functionality, and make SubstututeFont
to be compartible with CPSI, which replaces a name.
3. Now we define fonts for all aliases in the aliasing/substituting chain.
Not sure it is better than defining only the final one,
but the pre-repository code did so, and was
unintentionaly broken by multiple patches.
4. .stdsubstfont dropped some aliases with no strong reason.
Restoring the old behavior.
5. .tryloadfont damaged the stack balance. It was not visible due to (4).
6. We use a hack to provide the main functionality.
See comment in .aliasfont . A complete solution is too hard.
7. Inserted auxiliary comments about the stack layout.
This change fixes the bugs
687047 "fonts renamed in resulting pdf file"
687111 "Quality of output wth gs8.11 for pdfwrite device is faded as compared to gs6.12"
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
MANY OF pdfwrite TESTS RENDER DIFFERENTLY due to the font substitution had changed.
Now pdfwrite does not embed /NimbusMonL-Regu, but recognize its alias Courier
as a standard font name.

Fix (garbager) : The back pointer validity constraint was wrong.
DETAILS :
Bug 687021 "A crash in memory manager"
Here is what happens :
A big chunk is allocated by i_alloc_struct_array.
Later a part of the array is released.
Then another object is allocated in the released area.
Then the object is being relocated.
The old validity constraint in igc_reloc_struct_ptr assumed that the object
is in a chunk of the standard size.
However it is not.
The check fails, and gs_exit() is called.
The latter calls vm_reclaim and falls into an infinite recursion and crashes.
This patch enhances the constraint for instandard (big) chunks.
Unfortunately their sizes can't easy obtain from igc_reloc_struct_ptr,
therefore the new check only works for pointers to same chunk.
A new field (DEBUG=1 only) is inserted into gc_state_s to access the chunk from
igc_reloc_struct_ptr. We're not happy of this solution,
but there is no idea how to improve it.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Shared CID font descriptors did not work properly.
DETAILS :
When a CID font descriptor is shared with several CID font resources,
must create several font objects with different CIDToGIDMap, DW, DW2
taken from CID font resource dictionaries.
The old code created a single font object with one randomly chosen CIDToGIDMap,
making some glyphs inaccessible, and glyphs could misplace.
New procedures adjustCIDType0, adjustCIDType2 are added into the adjustfont
dictionary, so that now CID fonts are processed in same way as fonts.
Bug 687048 "fonts not rendered correctly".
Besides that, the old code on pdf_font.ps created a CDevProc
for processing DW[2], but it was not properly added to the font dictionary and
was not executed. The new code fixes that.
This issue causes rendering differences.

Fix : Disable the grid fitting while charproc accumulation.
DETAILS :
This is a partial (minor) fix for the bug 687087 "pdfwrite : A mangled /trademark glyph".
The glyph looks fine but still converts to outline.
This change works for pdfwrite only.
It changes several files in the graphics library, but other devices
should percept this change as algorithmically equivalent.
The core of the change is explained in the comment inserted into gdevpdtt.c :
if (pdev->font3 != 0) {
/* A text operation happens while accumulating a charproc.
This is a case when source document uses a Type 3 font,
which's charproc uses another font.
Since the text operation is handled by the device,
the font isn't converting to a raster (i.e. to a bitmap font).
Disable the grid fitting for the convertion to get a proper outlines,
because the viewer resolution is not known during the accumulation.
Note we set identity CTM in pdf_text_set_cache for the accumilation,
and therefore the font may look too small while the source charproc
interpretation. The document tpc2.ps of the bug 687087 is an example.
*/
penum->device_disabled_grid_fitting = true;
}
It is implemented with defining the new field device_disabled_grid_fitting
into gs_text_enum_common.
Minor changes :
1. In gs_type1_state_s renamed charpath_flag to no_grid_fitting.
We believe the new name reflects the semantics better.
Several function prototypes changed the argument name.
2. decompose_matrix in gxttfb.c changed the prototype,
and disables the TT grid fitting for very small fonts.
(We consider it as a minor change, because currently this portion
is disabled with NEW_TT_INTERPRETER 0 in gx.h).
3. A problem discovered in t1_hinter__set_mapping that
impedes implementing a grid-fitting disabling for small Type 1,2,11 fonts.
A comment is inserted into gxhintn.c about that.
Very samll glyphs can be mangled diring a rasterization, but the mangling
isn't visible in raster with such small sizes.
Therefore the problem isn't important.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES :
None with comparefiles.
The test file tpc2.ps of the bug 687073 doesn't cause a mangled glyph,

Use igs->color_space to track the current color space.
Fix bug 687080 from customer 710.
DETAILS:
The problem in bug 687080 is definitely a conflict about the current
color space while the PaintProc is being executed. There are two
color space indicators: pgs->color_space and igs->colorspace. Most
of the time these two agree and there is no problem. However during
pattern accumulation pgs->color_space has been temporarily changed
from a pattern color space to DeviceGray. This causes a problem
when the currentcmyk operator is called. Currently, before this fix,
it calls currentcolor which returns a DeviceGray color. Then a
color to CMYK routine is called based upon the color space being
a pattern color space. This then fails since it has the wrong input
color values.
The fix looks at the current color space, in pgs->color_space,
and is special casing DeviceGray. The fix should work better than
the current logic. The only problem area would likely be if we have
other 'temporary' color spaces besides DeviceGray. I do not know of
any and the current logic would also fail.

Fix: Pattern color spaces that used save/restore within the PaintProc
would result in infinite looping with high level devices such as the
pdfwrite device since the restore cleared the pattern cache so that
after the restore, the pattern PaintProc would need to be executed
again. Bug #687052 for customer #411.
DETAILS:
The 'is_dummy' flag in the pattern cache indicates that the cache
entry does not contain bitmap or tile bits, but rather is just
a placeholder for the pattern 'id'.
The patch does not delete entries for pattern color spaces that
have is_dummy != 0. The pdfwrite device creates all pattern cache
entries as dummies.
This change does not result in any regression and, of course, prevents
the infinite looping.

In adesso7.pdf, adesso8.pdf a TT font renders some worse, but it's unfortunate.
With the new TT interpreter and -dGridFitTT=1 it renders fine.

Basically I prefer that switches which stop an action begin with NO.
However changing COLORSPACES to DEVICECOLORS is a definite improvement
since COLORSPACES is overly general and thus inaccurate. The only
color spaces which are substituted are the device colors.

DETAILS :
This completes the fix for the

The "default" color space resources are being included only if all 3 conditions are satisfied :
1. -dUseCIEColor is set;
2. -dNOSUBCOLORSPACES is set;
3. The source document defines the resource.
If the document doesn't define the resource, but the user wants to include it,

Fix (PDF interpreter) : Adjust the currentpoint saved back into TextMatrix so that it
does not include the effect of TextRise.
DETAILS :
Bug 686837 "PDF with subscript rendered wrong"
Patch from Raph Levien.
Here is analyzis from Raph Levien :
[beg quote]
the test file is using PDF's Ts operator to adjust the
"text rise", exactly as shown in section 5.2.6 "Text Rise" of the
PDF manual (3rd ed). Ghostscript's rendering is incorrect because
the "settextposition" function (in pdf_ops.ps) updates the TextMatrix
using the current point after showing the text. However, this point
already contains the effect of TextRise. Then, the next time
settextmatrix is invoked, it applies TextMatrix, followed by a
second TextRise.
The patch below simply reverses the effect of TextRise before setting
TextMatrix. I believe that the correct invariant is that
"settextposition" followed by "settextstate" should result in (0, 0)
being the current point in the resulting CTM. I argue that the patch
fulfills the invariant, as follows. Let the current point be (x, y),
relative to TextSaveMatrix. Then, settextposition sets the translate
portion of TextMatrix to (x, y - TextRise). Then, settextmatrix (as
invoked from settextstate) applies TextMatrix followed by TextRise,
for a net translation of (x, y).
Query: is this reasoning still valid for arbitary rotations and scales
in TextMatrix (as set by Tm)? It seems so to me, but I believe testing
is required to establish this definitively.

I've tested it with comparefiles and found no differences.

Note that some font may mix both grid-fitted and non-grid-fitted glyphs.
GridFitTT=0 forces the TT interpreter to skip the grid fitting.

This is part of the fix for 687055. This change splits the DeviceN
parameter handling. The SeparationOrder parameter handling is split
into a separate routine.
DETAILS:
The DeviceN parameter SeparationOrder is used to select which separations
are to be included in the output. This parameter is not appropriate for
high level devices like pdfwrite. The pdfwrite device does not attempt
to separate its output into separations. However the pdfwrite device
does use its process color model colors for specifying output colors in
some backup cases. If a separation were missing then the it would create
an incorrect output color. By splitting out the SeparationOrder parameter
we can still use common routines for pdfwrite and other DeviceN output
devices.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Don't use Tj when real width is smaller than 1% of Widths.
DETAILS :
This is a workaround for the bug 687051
"freehand patterns cause incorrect result".
See comment in code.
Our workaround is hewristical.
To get a strongly guaranteed result a bug to be reported to Freehand,
which sets a wrong character size with setcachedevice :
the setcachedevice arguments appear 144 times bigger when the actual glyph size.
After converting to PDF it causes too big numeric errors in a PDF viewer.
Adobe Distiller converts this text into a paintings of
individual glyphs, loosing the text features, and enlarging the uncompressed output.
The Adobe's method appears acceptable with this document
because the text actually represents a texture, and the text features (Encoding, etc.)
appears unimportant. We can't implement the Adobe's method because we have no idea
how to recognize in pdfwrite the case of a Type 3 font represents a texture.
Users may want to apply an idiom recognition in PS level for that texture,
to convert it into a regular images for a better coordinate precision.
The ideom approach is independent to this patch, and we believe that
both things can work togeter.

Don't apply Type 1 hinting to charpath.
THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : charpath now creates a different outline than before.
DETAILS :
Adobe doesn't hint charpath.
Not sure why GS did.
This change makes GS to be closer to Adobe and
partially fixes the bug 687044 "strange elements with text".
Note that 'charpath fill' never was equal to 'show'. Neither the old hinter,
nor the new hinter, nor any combination of them in the pair ('charpath', 'show')
give same result. This happens because 'fill' uses the "center pixel inside" rule,
but 'show' uses a different one. With the new hinter 'show' performs
a spot topology analyzis during the rasterization. This rule doesn't belong
to the class of rules, which can be explained in terms "a part of pixel inside".
Thus, since "same" or "closer" result isn't possible,
the criterion for the choice must lie in another space.
I believe that the "Adobe compatibility" is the right one.
Besides that, Ghostscript PDF imperpreter emulates the text rendering modes 1,5,6
with 'charpath stroke', and with the hinted charpath the results look strange.

Provide a means for disabling color space substitution.
DETAILS:
Ghostscript supports substituting CIE and ICC color spaces for DeviceGray
DeviceRGB, and DeviceCMYK color spaces. This is part of the support for
the UseCIEColor feature in PostScript. This substitution is done inside
the PostScript code in lib/gs_devcs.ps.
The recent improvements to the pdfwrite device mean that the interpreter's
color space and color values are now passed to the output file. Since
the color space substitution is done prior to passing the color space to
the interpreter, the original color space is lost if UseCIEColor is
set. This change provides a means to prevent the substitution. Thus
the original color space is passed to the interpreter and on to the
output file for pdfwrite.

pdfwrite : Implement CDevProc handling for CIDFontType 2.
DETAILS :
It defines a new gs_text_process return value TEXT_PROCESS_CDEVPROC,
which allows a device to request a special interpreter callout
for executing CDevProc. The processing is some tricky :
we apply zchar_set_cache to prepare interpreter stacks,
and hook its results in pte->procs->set_cache .
This patch handles CDevProc only for CIDFontType 2.
Other font types should be a separate patch.
This patch causes progressions in pdfwrite :

pdfwrite : A minor code cleanup.
DETAILS :
'sclose' is inserted for a conformity, rather it has no effect in this case.
The "fixme" comment is removed because it appears wrong.
If the color space is new, it needs a complete serialization
for storing the data to PDF resource. We can't delay the serialization
because the life time of the original color space may exceed before
the next comparizon happens. Contrary, if the color space is not new,
it also needs a complete serialization for a full comparison,
to know whether it is same color space.
Thus, a complete serialization is required in any case.

Defining a new device virtual function fill_rectangle_hl_color.
This fuction is used to implement gs_rectfill and gs_fillpage
with a high level color handling.
DETAILS :
The old device virtual function fill_rectangle has no way to pass a high level color.
Therefore high level devices always used process colors with rectfill and fillpage.
See gxdevcli.h for the definition of the new function.
The new function is used to implement gs_rectfill and gs_fillpage in pdfwrite.
gs_rectfill and gs_fillpage are modified to provide the new logics.

Fix for 686948 Dotted lines messing in PDF. Draw all line cap
types for zero line lengths. Previously only rounded caps were
drawn.
DETAILS:
This is a (minor) revision to a the previous fix from Jeong for
this problem.
For those people who do not remember, this problem involves a dashed
line with a zero line length for the imaged (pen down) part of the
dashed line. Ghostscript currently calls this a degenerate situation
and does nothing except for round line caps. Jeong had previously
proposed changing the test to any line cap except butt caps. Jeong
removed this proposal after testing and finding that Adobe Acrobat
drew thin line segments even for butt line caps.
This proposal simply removes the test for line cap type completely.
It does still leaves a test for dot length = 0.
The routine already contains code for using adjacent line segments
to determine a 'direction' for zero length segments.
Testing with both butt and square line caps and with on axis and
diagonal lines produces results comparable to Adobe Acrobat.
(Acrobat is not consistent with segment widths for the butt joints.)

pdfwrite : Implementing a high level color handling.
DETAILS :
pdfwrite now passes colors identically except minor problems,
which should be fixed soon :
1. rectfill still converts colors.
This happens because gs_rectfill calls dev_proc(pdev,fill_rectangle),
which doesn't pass device color.
Therefore high level color is not available for pdfwrite.
This is an architectural problem which requires a hard decision.
2. Some documents (gs.anotherfailure.pdf is an example) generate
too many color space objects to the output PDF.
Requires an optimization.
3. 477-03.ps embeds a color space that can't write to PDF due to PDF limitations.
Process colors are written into PDF.
4. Few tests cause significant difference in colors :
0.pdf (yellow background)
MagicEye.pdf (yellow background)
Fixed_Original.pdf
Testform.v1.0.2.pdf (a gray rectangle disappears)
To be analyzed.

<pre>
A preparation for high level color handling in vector devices.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for devices derived from gx_device_vector.
Now they must implement the new virtual function can_handle_hl_color.
A simplest impementation compatible to the old behavior is to return false.
DETAILS :
The new code uses the new functions gx_hld_save_color and
gx_hld_saved_color_equal instead the old gx_saved_color_update.
This allows devices to know when the client color changes and
to generate the appropriate output. This affects
pdfwrite, pswrite, epswrite, pxlmono and pxlcolor devices.
However the devices still write device colors to output.
An implementation of writing the client color
in pdfwrite, pswrite, epswrite will be the next improvement.
Since a big part of color code is shared with pxlmono and pxlcolor,
we need a switch for checking whether the device can handle
high level colors. For this purpose we add a new
virtual function can_handle_hl_color to gx_device_vector_procs.
Currently all implementation of this function return false,
and all devices still write process colors.
A minor change : psdf_setfillcolor and psdf_setstrokecolor
are removed because they were never called.

<h2><a name="Version8.11"></a>Version 8.11 (2003-08-16)</h2>
<p>
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.
<p>
Users may want to experiment with the new -dAlignToPixels=0 setting,
which enables subpixel positioning for antialiased font rendering.

<pre>
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. Intended as a final fix for
bug #686922.
DETAILS:
1. The permissions behavior of .tempfile is changed so that simple
prefixes are always allowed, absolute pathname prefixes are checked
using the PermitFileWriting logic, and other cases are disallowed. In
particular, it is no longer possible to specify temp prefixes relative
to the current directory, or as subdirectories of the standard temp
directory. Both such cases are potential security holes, and are
probably not useful in any real application.
2. The meaning of gp_open_scratch_file() is made more consistent
across the platforms. In particular, it is now the clear
responsibility of this function to add the appropriate temp
directory. As such, gp_gettmpdir() is no longer exported in the public
gp.h interface (gpmisc.h is intended only for the convenience of gp_
implementations).
3. On VMS, gp_open_scratch_file() didn't previously add the
temporary directory pathname. Now it does.
4. On Windows, gp_open_scratch_file()'s behavior was somewhat
inconsistent, calling GetTempPath() only when the length of the TMPDIR
or TEMP environment variables overflowed the buffer provided. It
now additionally uses GetTempPath() in the cases where these
environment variables are not set.
5. Since gp_open_scratch_file() now takes responsibility for
determining the temporary directory, ztempfile() no longer attempts
to do this.

Convert ASCII range font names found during the FONTPATH scanning to
simole ASCII aliases (original Unicode names preserved). Fixes bug 686861
for customer 131.
DETAILS:
This is an interim patch that establishes the alias in the ASCII code
range if (and only if) the high byte of ALL characters in the name are
NULL (\000).
The future improved implementation would be to add a UTF-8 fontname when
the TTF font has the name in Unicode. This would allow simple PostScript
applications that use the 8-bit character name to work as this patch does.

Pass path across grestore using base "identity" coordinates to prevent
limitcheck errors. The upath operator returns coordinates in the current
user space, but these are no longer valid across a CTM change such as
"grestore" or "setgstate" causes. Fixes SF bug #687001 for customers
580 and 590.
DETAILS:
The patch gets the upath using identity user space, then stuffs it into
the graphics state after the grestore in the same identity space
restoring the CTM of the grestore after the uappend.
Both grestore_nopath and setgstate are modified. These could probably
be refactored later to share PS code, but the value is minimal (IMO).

Fixes two pointers to freed objects that were left dangling
in the PDF 1.4 transparency logic. Fixes bug #686994.
DETAILS:
With some test files, saved graphics states had held on to pointers to
the device filter stack that had already been freed by a
gs_pop_device_filter() call. These dangling pointers can cause garbage
collection corruption. This patch introduces reference counting
discipline to these pointers so that the dfilter_stack objects are not
actually freed until the last reference is dropped.
A similar but simpler argument applies to the pdf14_ctx object in the
pdf14_device. This patch simply sets the pointer to NULL when freeing
the context.

Fix for Bug 686991 Memory leak in CET test file 12-07.ps.
DETAILS:
A pointer to a free object was found while running the CET with the

space and the pointer was inside a gs_image_enum_common structure.
The situation occurs when an error is found in the data source for
for an image. The actual cause was that the image enum common
structure should have also been released.
Note: The data source checking is the only place that has this
problem. After the data source checking, the image enum common
structure pointer is placed into an image enum structure. Errors
that are detected after that point call gx_image_cleanup which
handles all of the data in the image enum structure including the
image enum common structure.

Add an initial outermost save unless -dNOOUTERSAVE option is specified.
Fixes Bug #686972 and others that were closed with the instructions to
use -c "save pop" prior to the file.
DETAILS:
The initial save is needed for several ProcSets from Adobe applications
and those of other vendors that expect objects in global VM to be retained
after a restore that would otherwise remove objects in global VM defined
after the corresponding save.
This kept recurring because several ProcSets from Adobe, Quark and others
expect to run under a job server. The -dNOOUTERSAVE is needed for backward
compatibility and for those that want to run under a job server and want
global VM to be restored between jobs (as expected under a job server).
Note that the save object is discarded so that it cannot be used to restore
to the state prior to .setsafe and thus circumvent security when -dNOSAFER
is used and .setsafe or .locksafe is subsequently used to go to SAFE mode.

DETAILS:
Filter implementations can be called with <source> <paramdict> or just

supported the former. This went undetected because previous files we'd
encountered from the CVISION and Adobe encoders included a /JBIG2Globals

Improve native font enumeration on MacOS. This feature is still not enabled.
DETAILS:
There are six different api calls to open a resource file on MacOS Carbon,
all of various provenance and history. We were using FSOpenResourceFile()
in our FOND parsing code because it will open the data fork of .dfont files
or the resource fork of resource font files. Very convenient. However, it
fails for some common font files with broken resource maps. Therefore we
now fall back to FSpOpenResFile() which only tries the resource fork, but
can handle the broken maps, if the first attempt fails. I've not encountered
any .dfont files with broken resource maps; they're a recent phenomenon so
we should be safe there.
Also contains changes to skip the FOND parsing for .ttf and .otf filenames,
to ask for 'Local' instead of 'Global' fonts in the enumerator (the difference
is unclear) and changes to use the Carbon headers in the Carbon build.

Read a PostScript embedded ICC input profile into a bytestring (.bigstring)

DETAILS:
Since we don't know the size of the bytestring needed to invoke .bigstring,
we read the ICC profile data into an array of 64,000 byte strings, then
create the bytestring and fill it with putinterval.
This bytestring then becomes the source for a ReusableStreamDecode filter
which is a seekable filter. We'd like to have simply used SubFileDecode
filter and ASCIIHexDecode as the source for ReusableStreamDecode, but
this only works if SubFileDecode has a count.

<pre>
Initial check in of the native font enumeration mechanism with an implementation for MacOS. The
code is currently disabled pending resolution of bugs regarding some font files.
DETAILS:
This adds a trio of gp_enumerate_fonts calls which implement an interator for querying the native
operating system for font files. This is essentially required to make use of the support for
reading resource-based font collection files on MacOS since there is no convenient way to
construct a Fontmap by hand. Thus our initial implementation focusses there and only stubs are
provided on other platforms. However, it would generally be a useful feature on any system that
provides such services.
An iterator object is created with gp_enumerate_fonts_init() and released with
gp_enumerate_fonts_free(). Between these calls, each font is returned by a successive
call to gp_enumerate_fonts_next() as a pair of C strings giving the access path and reported font
name.
On MacOS these are implemented using the FMFontIterator API from Carbon. Unfortunately, while this
returns font names and files, it does not provide details about the resource internals so we must
open the file and extract the resource id corresponding to the font itself. It also is not always
possible to obtain the correct postscript name from the OS call.
Connection is made to postscript through the .getnativefonts operator, implemented in zfontenum.c.
I handles the interation and places the results on the stack as an array of two element arrays,
each representing the name and path as postscript strings. New code in gs_fonts.ps calls this and
adds the entries to the fontmap after first calling .findfontname on each path to verify
accessibility and in case the reported font name is unreliable. This is implemented as the
.buildnativefontmap procedure, which is called by the font location logic if a requested font
is not found in the Fontmap.
Caveats: This can be a very expensive operation, so like the FONTPATH directory scanning it should
probably only happen once in a given session, instead of every time a font isn't found. The macos
implementation could also be considerably streamlined.

Fix (Type 1 hinter) : -dAlignToPixels=0 was ignored with -dNOCACHE.
DETAILS :
Now we pass the oversampling scale and the number of subpixels
to the Type 1 hinter in separate parameters. The old interface
was wrong when alpha buffer is installed with -dNOCACHE.
The patch cause difference in rendering with -dTextAlphaBits=2,4.
These cases are not tested by the regression test tool.
Minor changes :
- fixed C-style in gxhintn.c;
- removed "const gs_log2_scale_point no_scale = {0, 0}" to simplify calls
to gs_type1_interp_init.

Remove <limit.h> inclusions as it defines types that conflict with our
std*.h on HPUX and probably other systems. Fix for bug 686920.
Also correct the copyright dates for gxhintn.c.
DETAILS:
limits.h was defining ushort on HPUX which conflicts with the definition
imported in stdpre.h. There are two approaches within our portability
framework: don't use these defines, or make them part of the
output from genarch. Since there's only one use in the code (for
MIN_LONG) I simply defined it at the top of the file.
The test used should work on all 2's complement systems and would
probably fail miserably on anything else. It was the most portable
define I could come up with. A less assuming variant
((long)(ARCH_MAX_ULONG>>1)+1) also works but generates a warning about
the overflow.
genarch.c could of course test a variety of candidates and look for the
rollover. We could also switch to autoconf for provisioning the whole
set of defines. This was chosen as the simplest fix for the time.

Permit explicit specification of /GDBytes equal to 0 for incrementally
downloadable CIDFonts.
Fixes bug 686890 from customer 131.
DETAILS:
Incrementally downloadable CIDFont has GlyphDirectory key. According to
PLRM3 p. 376 "The binary data section of a CIDFont with a GlyphDirectory entry
does not need a charstring offset table or charstrings; if present, they will
be ignored". PLRM3 says nothing about GDBytes entry but it seems logical that
the entry is no longer needed when the structure it describes is ignored.
Old code used 0 as a default GDBytes value but required explicit specification
to be > 0. New code permits explicit 0 value because "Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0 for

Fix (pdfwrite) : Convert Type 0 fonts with multiple CID font descendents into
Type 0 fonts with single CID font descendents (the part 3).
DETAILS :
At last we got a non-degenerate test for multiple CID font descendents
and could debug this stuff with a real document.
This patch mixes several changes :
- In some cases CIDFontType 2 fonts wrongly computed glyph indices ignoring GlyphDirectory.
The new function z11_glyph_info works for it.
- The text decomposition in gdevpdtc.c mixed font indices of various font descendents.
- font->procs.get_glyph_info sometimes received glyph indices
instead glyph names or CIDs. This happened with subglyphs of a CIDFontType 2 glyph.
This patch improves the semantics of gs_glyph with distinguishing
CIDs and GIDs with a new tag in the 2nd high order bit.
The new macro GS_MAX_GLYPH_INDEX and related stuff
works for it.
- gdevpdtd.c tried to compute CID font features using glyph names,
which don't exist in this case. Replaced with CIDs.
- In gdevtrac.c a wrong glyph space was specified enumerating glyphs
(a minor change, since gdevtrac.c is almost an example).
- Fixed a compiler warning in gdevdevn.c .
Working on this patch, we can see rudiments
in pdfwrite code, which are inherited from pre-8.00 code
(before stable font copies are implemented), which to be fixed someday :
- subset_glyphs arguments in gdevpsft.c looks always NULL
and probably to be removed;
- COPY_GLYPH_BY_INDEX is now obsolete and to be removed;
- glyph enumeration procedures (*enumerate_glyph*) sometimes retrieve
a wrong tag in gs_glyph values. The new macro GS_GLYPH_TAG works against it,
rather an improvement to enumeration procedures would be useful.
The patch is debugged with korea.ps from the bug #686894.
After this change the embedded composite font with 2 CIDFontType 2
descendents is correctly decomposed into 2 Type 0 fonts with
single descendents (the old (gs8.10) code converts it into a Type 3
with outlines). The generated PDF satisfies the PDF specification
and Ghostscript can handle it. Meanwhile Acrobat Reader 4,5,6
fails with it. It appears an old known problem :
if a Type 42 font and a CIDFontType 2 with a non-standard CMap
appear in same PDF document, Acrobat Reader fails.
We believe it's a bug in Acrobat reader, because if we
modify the document with removing portions of text so that
only one of the 2 fonts is really used, Acrobat Reader renders it fine.
It fails only when both things are really used for rendering.
A workaround for this problem to do separately.

DETAILS:
Metrowerks CodeWarrior doesn't really have an equivalent of the -D commandline option to set CPP
defines at compile time. This makes it difficult to set target-specific #ifdef's, for example the
__CARBON__ switches used in the MacOS support code. The closest thing offered is a hook in the
project file for a 'prefix' header file that will be prepended to each source file as it is fed to
the preprocessor. We add such a file for the carbon build, and enable it in the project file xml.
The conditional in macgenmcpxml.sh is a direct comparison for the Ghostscript carbon shlib name,
which is excessively brittle. Something like perl's =~ /carbon/i on the target name would be
preferable, but I couldn't figure out how to do that reliably in sh.

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

Fix (pdfwrite) : Convert Type 0 fonts with multiple CID font descendents into
Type 0 fonts with single CID font descendents.
DETAILS :
Bug 686869 "Rasterized characters".
Our testbase doesn't test this case. Rather the test file for 686869
contains a font with 2 CID descendents, it actually uses only the 1st
descendent, so it's not a complete test.
The new code fails with 401-01.ps . This test file is buggy and
requires a special workaround, which should be a separate patch.

- added a new argument to a set of CMap management functions to access a
submap corresponding to a specified font index;

<h2><a name="Version8.10"></a>Version 8.10 (2003-05-21)</h2>
<p>
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.
<p>
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).
<p>
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.
<p>
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.
<p>
This release also contains an important security fix. If you are using
Ghostscript in a security-critical application, we recommend you
upgrade now.
<p>
Finally, we include the usual bug fixes and improvements. Please
exercise this release thoroughly, so we can make the next release
rock-solid.

DETAILS:
Turned out I'd forgotten to modify makehist.tcl to handle the new

was done manually. Fortunately this is much simpler now.
We will also need a separate 'detailed history' file in which to archive
the Details documents before the next release.
N.B. those trying to regenerate this: the gs8_00 tag was accidentally
modified in April, so the date-from-tag filtering recommended in the

1. Ignore data after %%EOF whicl scanning for objects or trailer.
2. Allow objects with duplicate object and generation numbers.
3. Change heuristic for finding the trailer dictionary.
DETAILS:
The previous testing had on the rebuild facility had verified that
all test files ran without apparent problems. However a full check
of the files in the regression test suite has found three cases of
the output images not matching between the normal PDF processing
and the rebuild processing.
1. Many real life PDF files contain garbage after the final %%EOF
marker. Ghostscript has known about and tolerated this situation for
some time. I found a test case (adesso6.pdf) in which the repair
logic was finding what it considered a valid object in this garbage.
The revisions determine the location of the last %%EOF and form a
count of the data left in the file after the %%EOF. This count is
used to exclude this data from the object scanning and the trailer
location scanning.
2. A test case was found in which two objects were found to have
the same object number and revision number. By my reading of the
PDF spec, the newer object should have a higher revision number.
However the object scanner was changed to accept the last such
object as the desired one. Most PDF editors (at least Adobe) put
updated objects at the end of the file.
3. A test case was found in which a Linearized PDF file had been
edited and a new xref list and trailer dictionary were placed at
the end of the file. The heuristic for finding the trailer dictionary
was changed to check the specified location of the 'first' xref list.
If this location is in the first half of the file, then the start of
the file is searched for the first trailer. Otherwise the end of the
file is searched for the last trailer.
With these three changes, all of the PDF files in the regression
test suite produce matching results using either the normal PDF
processing or the rebuild procedures.

The TrueType font loading was quite a bit slower than it should be. This
optimized font loader is up to ten times faster. Fixes bug #686851.
DETAILS:
Analysis of the time spent during TT font loading led to two problem areas.
The first was that the cmap array was built inefficiently when their was
a large glyph range, that had large holes was built with a loop that
called a PostScript function 'putglyph' to fill unused areas with .notdef
(glyph ID 0). The revision pre-fills the 'glyphs' array with .notdef from
a static array pre-filled with 1024 zeroes.
The second problem was the code that built the encoding using the 'post'
table. This code had a 'repeat' loop to find the name from the start of
the glyphNames section of the 'post' table for each named glyph in the
encoding. By creating a temporary cross reference, only one pass through
the names is made.

Correct the implementation of the new file_name_combine operators for MacOS.
Details:
The parent directory reference prefix is '::' rather than ':'. Also, a path
that begins with the ':' directory separator is a relative path from the
current working directory.
The more substantive change is in the implementation on gp_check_root(), intended
to return the 'root' prefix of a path, if any. The previous implementation returned
the location of the first patch separator, causing initialization to fail when
attempting to determine if GenericResourceDir ends in a directory separator in
gs_res.c.
Absolute paths are not a well defined concept on Classic MacOS. In that case we just
return 0, as if no path were ever absolute. This likely causes other problems not
addressed here. In the Carbon build, we make use of the FSGetVolumeInfo() call
to enumerate all mounted volumes, attempting to match each one. This call returns a
16-bit char unicode name for each volume which we make no attempt to convert to
whatever 8-bit encoding ghostscript might receive the path in orginally; however
we do match the lower 8 bits for the first 256 characters, which works well enough
for English volume names.
Note that this patch only provides support for MacOS-style paths with ':' as a
separator. The Metrowerks Standard Library also accepts unix-style paths and
on MacOS X users will expect to be able to use them. Support will need to be
extended to include this.

<blockquote><pre>
This is a set of routines for attempting to recover PDF files which
have been mangled by EOL conversions. This is a facility which Adobe
Acrobat has and thus we need to duplicate.
DETAILS:
THE PROBLEM:
The basic problem is that PDF files contain 'xref tables' which are
really object location indexes which contain the absolute position of
objects in a file. If a file is changed by converting the type of
EOLs then the file size is changed and the xref data is no longer
valid. In many cases, Acrobat can rebuild these files. It is not
always possible to always rebuild files. If the files contain binary
data which contains line feed or new line characters then the binary
data may be mangled and cannot be rebuilt. We need to be able to
duplicate Acrobat's ability for rebuilding files. (Note: In theory
one can get more and more sophisticated about rebuilding files. The
techniques used in this code are quite simple but effective.)
THE BASIC SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem consists of several pieces. The first piece
was to modify the pdf interpreter's internal representation of the xref
data. The xref data is stored into two larrays. The larray Generations
contains the object's generation number. This was not changed. The
larray Objects contained the location of the xref entry in the file.
This was set initially by the readxref routine. Since the xref entry
data is not valid (for mangled files) this was not useful. Objects
was changed to contain the actual location of the object in the file.
This actually eliminates one step in the process. Previously when an
object was referenced, the location of the xref entry in the file was
obtained from Objects and then the xref entry was read to determine
the actual location of the desired object.
The second part of the process was to put .internal_stopped trapping
around the two usages of readxref to catch any failures of that routine.
An error message is printed and we then try to rebuild the locations
of the objects and find the proper trailer dictionary.
The third part of the process is to locate the objects in the file.
This is done by a simple scan of the file looking for lines beginning
with x y obj where x is a object number and y is object generation
number and obj is the text 'obj'. In theory this simple strategy can
be confused by binary data but with over 156 files tested, no problems
were found.
The fourth part of the process is to locate the appropriate 'trailer'
dictionary. There is a trailer dictionary with each xref list. In
theory there can be many trailer dictionaries in a file. The only
desired trailer dictionary is the one associated with the 'first'
xref list. Unfortunately since we cannot count on the location
information in a mangled file, following the xref links is problematic.
The solution used is simple. For Linearized pdf files, we find the
first (at the front of the file) trailer dictionary otherwise we use
the last trailer dictionary in the file. This simple method works
for the 151 known good files (see testing below) and all five known
bad files.
Included are diffs for the changes and the new file lib/pdf_rbld.ps.
The only change in the src directory was the addition of pdf_rbld.ps
to the int.mak file.
TESTING:
There have been two sets of test run on this code. The first set
consists of running 151 pdf files from our regression test suite.
These files are not mangled. However by disabling the normal readxref
routine, the new code was exercised. All 151 pdf files were displayed
correctly.
The second set of tests consists of actual problem files. I was able
to locate five files that we have been sent that have been mangled.
file name Ghostscript Acrobat 5.0.5
1003.pdf okay okay
cm_test.pdf okay okay
precon.pdf okay fail
ServletReport.pdf fail fail
dauben.pdf fail fail
As expected, not all files can be recovered. I was pleased that,
for this small sample, we did better than Acrobat.

If reopening the display device fails after setting the

bitmap using a low level allocator to avoid exceeding the memory
limit of the previously used device stable memory allocator.
Fixes bugs 686836 "-r doesn't work" and duplicate 686838
"Ghostscript doesn't do anything".
DETAILS:
The display memory device and the raster including line pointers
was allocated using the stable allocator of the display device.
This had a limit of 1Mbyte, which was exceeded when the
resolution was greater then 114dpi. This would cause subsequent
allocations to fail, but it appears that nothing else tried to
use this allocator after the display device. The display device
was changed to allocate the line pointers separately to allow
the raster to be allocated in special memory, e.g. video memory
or shared memory. This caused the subsequent allocation of the
line pointers to fail when resolution exceeded 114dpi.
The modified code now allocates the raster with
gs_alloc_byte_array_immovable, which allocates directly from the
C heap, not subject to any memory limit apart from the overall
-K limit if specified, and is not subject to garbage collection.
The normal allocator now has sufficient memory to allocate the
line pointers without problem. The raster pointer is removed
from the pointers that are enumerated during garbage collection.

Log Message:
This is the fix for 686798 /typecheck in --setcolorspace-- with
-sDEVICE=x11cmyk. This fix increases the stack checking while sampling
tint transform functions. It also makes the error handling more robust
for invalid tint transforms.
DETAILS:
It is sad to say but this is a bug that we have seen before, several
times. Ray and I fixed this problem at the last code fest in September.
However that fix did not make its way into CVS.
The cause of this problem is that certain proc sets from Adobe violate
the PLRM. In the test file, the proc set is from Adobe Photoshop
Version 5.5. The proce set contains tint transform functions which
violate the specification in two different ways. In one case, the tint
transform function changes stack values outside of the given color value.
This is used as a test to see if the interpreter supports the given
duotone color space. If so then the proc set creates a color space with
a tint transform which is unbalanced in its stack usage. This could
cause a stack overflow/underflow during sampling of the tint transform.
Adobe apparently assumes that this tint transform is never executed
since the function starts with the name /NeverReached.
The fix involves checking the stack depth after each execution of the
tint transform function and verifying that it matches the correct
position given the number of function inputs and outputs. If so then
the stack is returned to its original position and the sampling is
aborted. Changes in lib/gs_sepr.ps make the tint transform sampling
logic more robust in case the tint transform modifies the top of the
stack. (This occurs in this case since the tint transform is actually
popping extra items off of the stack.) We also create a dummy tint
transform function if sampling fails. The later was done to prevent
the /typecheck error and give pdfwrite something with which to work.

A preparation for non-convert PatternType 1 to rasters with pdfwrite.
DETAILS:
The patch defines a new device virtual function pattern_manage,
and a default implementation for it. The purpose is to inform
the device about pattern accumulation and to bypass the installation of
gx_device_pattern_accum when the device can handle the pattern command stream.
The new code is temporary disabled with PATTERN_STREAM_ACCUMULATION 0
macro defined in gx.h . When it is 0, the new device virtual
function is provided but never called. The behavior should not change.
The rest of this log message describes PATTERN_STREAM_ACCUMULATION 1.
In this mode pdfwrite doesn't convert PatternType 1 to rasters.
It creates good PDFs at least with 012-09.ps and 269-01.ps
(these are very complicated cases with patterns inside charprocs and patterns),
but there are problems when rasterizing the resulting PDFs with GS.
(A new bug 686834 issued for tracking this problem).
When a pattern stream is handled by the device,
we can't create a proper content of gx_color_tile.
However we need a correct content if the pattern is used
for rasterization of an object which the device can't handle
at the high level. An example is pdf14 device during a PDF re-distillation,
which handles transparency. Another example is
a conversion of composite fonts, which have multiple CID descendents -
pdfwrite still converts such fonts to raster fonts.
Since a proper contents may be needed for gx_device_color,
we define a new flag gx_color_tile::is_dummy, and account it in
gx_pattern_cache_lookup. Thus, if the current device is cache device
installed for the font conversion, the tiles with is_dummy == true
are being be dismissed. Vice versa, tiles with is_dummy == false are
being dismissed when current device is pdfwrite.
We do not move parts of zpcolor.c code to gx_default_pattern_manage,
because we don't see a proper place for it to be compatible to
the FEATURE_DEVS configurability. Instead that, we implement
a branching inside gsptype1.c and zpcolor.c . If more branches will
be necessary in future, this to be improved with moving code
fragments to specific implementations of pattern_manage,
together with improving the FEATURE_DEVS modularity.
Delaying this reorganization until a strong reason appears.
NOTE: The patch extends the device interface with gs_pattern1_instance_t.
Minor Changes :
1. Fixed some MSVC warnings.
2. gx_pattern_alloc_cache passed a wrong client ID to memory manager.
3. Skipped some unuseful graphic state parameters while a contents substream accumulation.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Use cos_write_stream for charproc accumulation.
DETAILS:
pdfwrite crashes with -r72 012-09.ps due to 2 nesting separates :
one for charproc accumulator, and another one for graphic state object inside it.
This problem does not happen with comparefiles with the default value of -r.
Meanwhile the problem is harmful because it occasionally depends on CTM.
Minor changes :
- A misprint in "pdf_begin_char_proc_gerneric".

Fix (dropout prevention) : sfill was unintentionally slowed down.
DETAILS:
In some cases the scanline algorithm appears to speed up the sfill in about 2 times.
This patch enables the scanline algorithm when DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on,
except for characters. It brings the shfill case closer to the old algorithm.
This patch causes minor differences while filling a path,
especially with shfill, but such differences should be small
and almost unvisible.
Minor change :
The condition in gxfill.c line 2075 is changed to be closer to
the old algorithm when filling non-characters, because
dropout prewvention is not neccessary for this case.

<blockquote><pre>
Switching to the new logics of resource file location.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because the default resource path is now different :
resource files are moved to gs/Resource .
See gs/doc/Use.htm#Finding_files and gs/doc/Use.htm#Resource_related_parameters.
DETAILS:
This patch does not include necessary changes to Ghostscript installer.
The main code change in one to gp.h .
Rudiments of old code in gs/src and gs/lib are marked with NEW_COMBINE_PATH.
They to be removed after beta-testing.
Change to makefiles provide extended default values for
file search paths, which are platform dependent.
For convenience, here we summarize all related issues,
which were mentioned in previous patches :
1. The search method with multiple resource directories
appears not fully conforming to PLRM. We cannot ever call
ResourceFileName while executing findresource
or resourcestatus, because per PLRM it always
returns a single path. Therefore we implement
an extended search method in findresource,
resourcestatus and resourceforall, which first calls
ResourceFileName and checks whether the returned path
points to an existing file. If yes, the file is used,
othervise we search all directories specified in
LIB_PATH. With a single resource directory
it appears equivalent to Adobe.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
2. ResourceFileName may be used for obtaining a path
where a resource file to be installed. In this case
Ghostscript to be invoked with -sGenericResourceDir=path,
specifying an absolute path. The default value for
GenericResourceDir is a relative path. Therefore
a default invocation with a Postscript installer
will install resources into gs/Resource.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
3. We do not distinguish lib and Resource directories.
There is no file name conflicts because
lib does not contain subdirectories, but Resource
always store files in subdirectories.
4. We implement a new flag in gs_context_state,
which informs lib_file_open whether it is invoked
with a file specified in a command line argument.
Doing so because command line argument files
don't need to check permissions, and they
are executed with a special PS operator .runfile .
We cannot use a .runfile argument for passing this
information, because it would be a security hole
due to .runfile is available for documents
and cannot be hidden.
5. We still have a security hole while loading
resources from gs_init.ps .
Both the old and the new code load some resources
(such as CIDInit ProcSet) before entering
the SAFER mode. Therefore it is a way for
Postscript viruses to migrate.
To be fixed later.
6. Default values for GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir
are platform dependent.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
7. Default value for GenericResourcePathSep is platform dependent.
The value is used before non-directory items only.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
(The old code used the value before directory items - a bug on OpenVMS).
8. If a path starts with a number of parent references,
a template with same number of parent references
must be added to permission list to allow the access in SAFER mode.
The template (*) allows access to any file.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because
the old code ever rejects parent directories.
9. GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir are not being added
to permission list while .locksafe. Instead that,
we generate (*/*) templates with all LIBPATH items.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but for non-exotic cases
(such as "(./Resource/CMap/H) .libfile" in a document)
it should not be visible.
A. Scratch files with a non-absolute prefix always open
in a scratch directory. The old code can open them
in current and parent directories if an user modified
a default prefix in C code.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for users who had modified
a scratch file prefix in C code.
Permission for scratch directory is not checked
as well as in old code.
B. The operator .filenamedirseparator is removed,
because it cannot work properly on OpenVMS.
On OpenVMS it needs both prefix and trailer to
determine a correct separator.
We removed it because the new logics never needs it.
C. The operator .pathstring_not_bare is removed,
because .file_name_combine performs it's job better.
D. The functions gp_pathstring_not_bare, gp_file_name_references_parent,
char *gp_file_name_concat_string are removed.
E. New operators added to maintain the new logics :
<string> <string> <bool> .file_name_combine <string> true
<string> <string> <bool> .file_name_combine <string> <string> false
Combine a file name with a prefix.
The first argument is a prefix, the second is a file name.
Internal syntax of arguments and result is platform dependent.
The combination is being reduced to a shortest equivalent,
but if it starts with cwd reference, the starting
cwd reference persists.
If the <bool> argument is true, it considered to use the
"no sibling" mode. It prevents reduction of
(x/../y) to (y) for any x != y. With false such reduction
is allowed. The <bool> argument appears a rudinemt from
a dead branch. The new code always sets it to false.
On success, the result is a combined, reduced path and false.
On failure, the argument strings left on operand stack,
followed with false.
- .file_name_separator <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between directory item and file item.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourcePathSep.
- .file_name_directory_separator <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between two directory items.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir
and FontResourceDir.
- .file_name_current <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a reference
to current working directory. Used for making the default
value of GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir.

Use fstat() function to determine whether the file is seekable.

Bug #686773
DETAILS:
Windows API documentation seems to imply undefined results when seeking
of retrieving file position of a special file. MSDN documentation requires
programmers to check file type using GetFileType() function before seeking.
MSVC 6 CRTL doesn't check file type before calling the corresponding
Windows API functions. fstat() is the only function in MSVC 6 CRTL that
calls GetFileType(). S_ISREG() is a POSIX macro that check whether the
file is ordinary. It can be easily emulated if missing.

Add news script to generate split abbreviated/detailed changelogs in the new

DETAILS:
After the 8.00 release we switched to a new format for Changes.htm and the
History files, based on the more traditional Changelog format instead of
grouping commits by section, which often resulted in duplicate posts. At
the same time we began a convention of including any notes too extensive
for such a listing below a 'DETAILS:' separator, with the idea that we'd
create two changelogs, with hyperlinks between so detailed information was
still available even in the new easier to browse format.
The method we've adopted uses the cvs2cl perl script, available from
http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/ to parse the output of 'cvs log' and
generate an xml file containing the merged entries. This script is
more robust than our own cvs2hist. The split_changelog.py script is
then run to convert the xml changelog to the two sizes of linked html
changelogs.
split_changelog isn't very bright about constructing links, so it should
be run from inside the doc directory for now.

Initial commit of native MacOS font loading. This implements a %macresource% iodevice for

Remove the non-HAVE_STDINT_H non-win32 attempts to define stdint types
and related sys/types redefine hacks. Also warn in the configure script
if stdint.h is not found.
DETAILS:
Compiling libjbig2dec requires the size-specific types in stdint.h, as
does compiling in the headers. Therefore these types must be made
available in ghostscript if jbig2.dev is included in FEATURE_DEVS.
The best way to integrate this is to create a stdint_.h for ghostscript
that contains discovered and/or platform-specific typedefs for the
types. This is still the plan, but to speed integration we just through
some defines into stdpre.h. If -DHAVE_CONFIG_H is passed by the makefile
(as configure does) then the C99 header is used, and we make specific
defines for MSVC which doesn't yet ship the header. We also had some
fallbacks for other systems (vendor unix mostly) but these caused
collisions with partial definitions of what became the C99 types in
sys/types.h and the redirection hack we do with ulong et al. did not
work on all platforms (notably macosx).
It is the fallback defines that have been removed; users building
on older platforms will probably have to patch the types in to use JBIG2
support.

Prevent UMRs and when an image3x type image only has one of the possible

operated on the InterleaveType of the mask. While I could have added the
mask[i].depth check, setting mask[i].InterleaveType to zero when a mask

pdfwrite : The old code copied parameters of PS interpreter's graphic state
to the output PDF. However some of them are installation dependent and must not copy.
THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE : the generated PDFs will render some differently
on printers.
DETAILS:
We provide a signal to pdfwrite at very end of gs_init.ps - see
the change to gs_pdfwr.ps, the priority=2000.
The signal is handled in gdev_pdf_fill_path,
and stores a copy of PS interpreter's graphic state parameter values.
Those valuess are used for comparizon with current parameters of PS interpreter
when an object is written. Therefore, if a value of a parameter was not
changed by a document, it is not written to PDF.
Note that if a PS document sets parameters equal to the
installation defaults, the setting in missed in PDF.
This is unfortunate.
The patch causes multiple differences in rendering distilled
comparefiles with pkmraw, because transfer functions changed from a
HP-specific (defined in gs_init.ps) to none. Those differences were
checked with the fuzzy compare utility and look fine. It should fix
the 2003-03-26 regressions, but new differences will appear.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Provide a complete monitoring of the viewer's graphic state
while generating a PDF output. The old code misses the synchronization
of the viewer's graphic state with its internal copy when generating
a 'grestore' command to undo a clipping.
Bug 686763 "pdfwrite is not correctly handling OPM distiller parameter".
DETAILS :
This change affects all vector devices, but it should be equivalent
for all them except pdfwrite, and except for the pointer lifetime bug
explained below.
Here is an example when the desynchronization appears :
f1 settransfer
0 setcolor
path1 fill
f2 settransfer
1 setcolor
path2 fill
gsave
path3 clip
path4 fill
grestore
path5 fill
After 'grestore' it uses f1 instead f2.
The old code does not remember the viewer's graphic state,
which was immediately before 'gsave', and resets the internal copy of
the graphic state to default values when it generates 'grestore'.
This logic is fully wrong : if after 'grestore' a parameter is equal
to the default value, pdfwrite does not generate a set command for this parameter,
but the viewer uses the value which was set before 'grestore',
which can differ from the default one.
Moreover, gdevvec copies the device color from local memory
to global memory, and doesn't ask garbager to process pointers in
the copy. When the device color contains pointers
to patterns or so, the live time of the copy appears bigger
than the live time of the pointed structure. The old code only
compares the pointed addresses without accessing the pointed data,
so that a crash can't happen. But if garbager moves another color
to same address, the comparison answers "equal" when actually colors
are not equal, and the generated PDF appears wrong.
To exclude the pointer lifetime problem, the patch uses the 'save_dc' method
instead the 'equal' method for colors. But the implementation
of save_dc was dummy for patterns. To complete it, gs_id is
inserted into gs_pattern_instance_s, and more variants added to
gx_device_color_saved_s. The clist device appears tolerant
to this change.
Note that macros color_unset, color_set_null, color_is_null,
gx_dc_is_null are now applied to gx_device_color_saved.
For complete monitoring the viewer's graphic state,
we implement a 2-elements stack 'vgstack' in gx_device_pdf_s,
save the viewer's graphic state in it when generating 'q' commands,
and restore from there when generating 'Q'. If a 'gs' parameter
needs to change, we move to 'PDF_IN_STREAM' context, because
we must not insert 'gs' into a text context. New functions
pdf_try_prepare_stroke and pdf_try_prepare_fill provide
the "try" logics for this.
If a 'gs' parameter changes with changing a clipping,
first we need to undo the old clipping with 'Q',
and then generate new 'gs' parameters relatively to the
restored graphic state. The new function pdf_unclip
works for this.
With this patch the length of generated PDF appears longer
for some tests. The most important ones are :
acrobat.pdf Lengths differ in 6141.
adesso8.pdf Lengths differ in -8316.
HeiseiMinStd.pdf Lengths differ in 4000.
narrow_font.pdf Lengths differ in 6141.
RealCities.pdf Lengths differ in 12370.
RodinCIDEmbed.pdf Lengths differ in 101698.
It happens because pdfwrite doesn't remember 'gs' dictionaries,
and therefore redundant copies can appear.
This problem to be fixed separately.
Expecting a progression : 093-01.ps (was a wrong stroke widths with a PaintType 2 font).
Expecting a regression : with this patch, re-distilled
Testform.v1.0.2.pdf paints good with Adobe, but wrongly with GS.
Maybe a bug in GS PDF interpreter.

not shipping stdint.h is MSVC, and we provide specific typedefs for that

Bugzilla Bug 686759 "pdf to pdf doesnt work".

The previous patch appears wrong and caused a regression

in gdevpsft.c . This patch unwinds it. Also the log message
of the previous patch is fully wrong. The CID font in the test document
for 686759 does not contain cmap and the cmap must not
be written. But with the previous patch a corrupt cmap
was written. Accessing the wrong font copy pdfwrite
failed to compute glyph widths and therefore converted the font
into a bitmap font. This patch restores the code
to "have_cmap = no_generate,". The bug 686759 is reopened.
Also we detected that the OS/2 table was written
wrongly in some circumstances : its position in font

Add pngalpha device that uses RGBA, with the alpha channel
providing pixel coverage. Used for generating PNG images with a

DETAILS
Add missing initialiser for get_clipping_box to
prn_color_params_procs macro. (src/gdevprn.h)
Avoid cast warning for software_key (src/gdevpng.c).
Add pngalpha device that uses RGBA. This requires custom
encode_color and decode_color procedures to put RGB in the
first three bytes while leaving the fourth A byte as opaque.
To avoid gx_no_color_value, the alpha is stored inverted so
opaque is 0x00 and transparent is 0xff.
If pngalpha is told to fill the entire page with white, it uses
the kludge of instead filling with almost white and transparent
(0xfefefeff). This works because it is triggered by "erasepage",
but not by "1 setgray clippath fill". A custom open_device and
put_params are needed to save the clist or memory device
fill_rectangle, and to restore the pngalpha_fill_rectangle.
A custom copy_alpha is required to correctly blend RGBA. The
blend is based on pixel coverage, not true transparency
Ghostscript doesn't pass transparency to the device. Alpha blend
maths from Porter and Duff 1984 paper for "A over B". RGB values
are stored without pre-multiplication. A custom
pngalpha_create_buf_device is used to replace the memory device
implementation gx_default_copy_alpha with pngalpha_copy_alpha,
but not to replace clist_copy_alpha.
The pngalpha device is successful at giving a transparent
background to many images such as colorcir.ps and golfer.eps,
but not tiger.eps which fills the clipping path with grey.
It does not implement a transparent background for PDF 1.4

Adobe implementations do so.
We are not happy with the change of VM with no regard to 'restore'.
It appears compatible with the test document,
because it calls setweightvector before rendering each glyph.
(Another interesting point is that the test document executes
"0 setcachelimit" before rendering a glyph).
But it is not compatible to CPSI (a special test done).
Providing a correct restore appears too complicated -
need to change the data representation to 'ref'.
Delaying it until it is really needed.

file_name_combine : (1) Implement the extended search method in resourceforall,
resourcestatus, ResourceFileName. (2) Don't check permissions for command line argument files.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
To skip the permission check with argument files we added a flag into
gs_context_state. This is only a secure way to pass the information
across PS interpreter, which executes .runfile with any argument file.
Per Adobe specification, a resource category can define the ResourceFileName procedure,
which generates a resource file name from resource instance name.
Since Ghostscript uses an extended search method for finding resource files,
the strong Adobe's semantics appears inapplicable.
Ghostscript implements an extended semantics.
Finding a resource file while executing findresource or resourcestatus,
Ghostscript does not call ResourceFileName. Instead that, it searches directories
with an extended method explained in How Ghostscript finds files.
ResourceFileName may be called from a Postscript program such as a resource installer.
The default implementation for ResourceFileName first checks whether
GenericResourceDir specifies an absolute path. If so, ResourceFileName uses its value
to generate the result. Otherwise, it tries to find an existing resource file with
the extended method. If it succeeds, ResourceFileName returns the path
to the resource file found. Otherwise it uses GenericResourceDir to combine a default path.
Note that with a single resource directory and an absolute ResourceFileName the behavior
appears equivalent to Adobe's one.
The new search method doesn't distinguish 'lib' and 'Resource' directories.
Minor changes :
The operator .file_name_parent is removed.
The operator .file_name_current is removed.
Improved some error messages.

file_name_combine : Adding the 'no_neighbour' argument.
DETAILS:
This patch does not change any behavior with a regular build.
It slightly change behavior when built with NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1.
The 'no_neighbour' is a boolean, which protects steps from
a directory to its neighbor directory in file_name_combine.
With true argument the combination
(x/y) + (../z/t) fails
but
(x/y) + (../y/t) succeeds.
With false argument both combinations succeed.
The argument is added to both C function and PS operator.
We apply false argument while executing .libfile
and while generating PermitFileReading.
True argument is used in FAPI support to locate
FAPI-handled font files (which generally are not PS files,
and they are not being read with PS operators).
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1, THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
To access resources, run Ghostscript with specifying

<blockquote><pre>
Initial commit for the new SAFER logics.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior unless
NEW_COMBINE_PATH is changed to 1. With 0 a minor meanful
change is the replacing .pathstring_not_bare with .file_name_combine
in gs_fapi.ps (which fixes a bug in FAPI support,
and doesn't affect builds with no FAPI).
The change is compatible unless NEW_COMBINE_PATH is 1.
Incompatibility issues with 1 are explained below.
With NEW_COMBINE_PATH 1 the patch defines a new logic for
.libfile, SAFER, and related things :
1. Default values for GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir
are platform dependent.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
2. Default value for GenericResourcePathSep is platform dependent.
The value is used before non-directory items only.
(The old code always use Unix notation - a bug).
(The old code used the value before directory items - a bug on OpenVMS).
3. PLRM specifies GenericResourceDir to be a single absolute path name.
But Ghostscript's tradition is to load library files
form a list of directories. Since we want to propagate
this tradition to resource files, we get a conflict.
To resolve the conflict, we allow GenericResourceDir
to be a relative path, which is being concatenated with
LIBPATH items. Thus we provide an extension of Postscript.
4. When a LIBPATH item is being concatenated with GenericResourceDir,
an abnormal behavior appears when GenericResourceDir references parent.
Exactly, concatenating the (.) item of LIBPATH with
the default GenericResourceDir, which is (../Resource/),
we get (../Resource/), i.e. it searches in a directory,
which users don't expect to. We work around the abnormal
behavior with skipping such paths while executing .libfile .
More precisely, the .libpath algorithm is :
For each LIBPATH item :
- combine it with the argument string;
- if the (reduced) combination refers the parent, skip it;
- otherwise try to open the path. If succeeded, exit with it.
If no success, fail with undefinedfilename or invalidfileaccess.
Here and below we used Unix notation just for simplifying
the log message. All statements to be generalized for any platform,
and they are true for any supported platform.
5. A consequence of our workaround for (4) is a new constraint to .libfile :
Let x is a cwd.
Let x/../y exists. Lets mark it as y1.
Let LIBPATH contains cwd and a directory z, which is not cwd.
Let z/../y exists. Lets mark it as y2.
Consequently y1 != y2.
Executing
(../y/f) .libpath
searches y2/f, but does not search y1/f .
The old code searched both in non-safer mode.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.
6. A better workaround for (4) would be an implementation
of RESPATH, which by default generates from LIBPATH
with replacing (../Resource/) with (./Resource/).
This requires to maintain a new directory lists.
.libfile should get an additional argument,
which specifies a search list - LIBPATH, RESPATH or FONTPATH.
We do not make this improvement now,
but will add it to Issues.htm .
7. If a path starts with a number of parent references,
a template with same number of parent references
must be added to permission list to allow the access.
The template (*) allows access to any file.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, because
the old code ever rejects parents.
8. GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir are not being added
to permission list while .locksafe. Instead that,
we combine them with all LIBPATH items,
and add the combinations to the permission list
unless it references parent.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but for non-exotic cases
(such as "(../Resource/CMap/H) .libfile" in a document)
it should be equivalent to the old behavior.
9. Scratch files with a non-absolute prefix always open
in a scratch directory. The old code can open them
in current and parent directories if an user modified
a default prefix in C code.
THIS IS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE for users who had modified
a scratch file prefix in C code.
Permission for scratch directory is not checked
as well as in old code.
A. The operator .filenamedirseparator is removed,
because it cannot work properly on OpenVMS.
On OpenVMS it needs both prefix and trailer to
determine a correct separator.
We removed it because the new logics never needs it.
B. The operator .pathstring_not_bare is removed,
because .file_name_combine performs it's job better.
C. The functions gp_pathstring_not_bare, gp_file_name_references_parent,
char *gp_file_name_concat_string are not longer in use.
D. New operators added to maintain the new logics :
<string> <string> .file_name_combine <string>
Combine a file name with a prefix.
The first argument is a prefix, the second is a file name.
Internal syntax of arguments and result is platform dependent.
The combination is being reduced to a shortest equivalent,
but if it starts with cwd reference, the starting
cwd reference persists.
- .file_name_separator <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between directory item and file item.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourcePathSep.
- .file_name_directory_separator <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a separator
which is used in file names between two directory items.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir.
- .file_name_parent <string>
Returns a readonly string, which represents a parent reference.
Used for making the default value of GenericResourceDir
and GenericResourceDir.
<string> .file_name_parents <integer>
Returns an integer equal to the length of maximal
anchor substring, which includes parent references and separators only.
Used in generating the permission list from LIBPATH and
[GenericResourceDir FontResourceDir] as a workaround
for (6).
We believe that all them are necessary, except the last one,
which is temporary used in (8) as a workaround for (6).

Implementing gp_file_name_combine.
DETAILS :
This patch introduces a new code, which is currently
disabled with "#define NEW_COMBINE_PATH 0" in gp.h .
The new function gp_file_name_combine concatenates
two paths and then reduce the concatenation with excluding
parent references when possible. It is platform dependent,
but we could factor out a big common part - see gp_file_name_combine_generic.
Platforms define 8 small helpers for it.
The gp_file_name_combine and its helpers were debugged on Windows
with emulating other platforms. A help wanted to
test them on real platforms. For testing them
replace 0 with 1 in the definition of NEW_COMBINE_PATH
in gp.h and rebuild.
We do not protect definitions of new functions with
NEW_COMBINE_PATH switch, because we want them to be syntax-checked.
Some old functions, such as gp_pathstring_not_bare,
gp_file_name_concat_string will be reconsidered later,
because the helpers perform similar work in a generalized way.
Probably some of old ones to be removed. Our strong intention is
to remove gp_pathstring_not_bare, because it's behavior looks
strange from the user's end.

Fixing the device finalization problem.
DETAILS :
pdfwrite (and possibly other devices) perform a huge work within close_device.
Since close_device is called via finalization method from memory
manager, some device structures could be released before calling
device_close, so that the huge work could not safely complete.
Also it could return error codes, which were entirely lost.
This patch calls gs_closedevice implicitly when a device
is about to uninstall. We catch 2 such events : when the interpreter
is about to exit, and when the interpreter executes setdevice.
This should be enough for "external" devices, such as printer drivers.
Internal devices do not receive these calls.
Note that a call to gx_device_fill_in_procs is added after assign_dev_procs
from gx_default_create_buf_device. Not sure why it was not done before.
After assign_dev_procs, ppmraw had ununitialized procs.
Also note that is_open flag is now unconditionally resets in gs_closedevice.
The new code needs to reset it to prevent redundant call to close_device from
device finalization method. The redundant call causes
a crash if pdfwrite has insufficient disk space to store the
output file (debugged with dina3_watermark.pdf) .

This is initial commit for implementing static resources.
DETAILS :
1. Adding a new iodevice %static% with the new file ziodevst.c .
It is used for opening files placed in static data segment.
They need to be accessed as PS files due to multiple reasons,
including the implementation of gs_ciddc.ps and for PS procedure
ResourceFileName defined in PLRM.
2. Implementing a queue for delayed invocation
of initialization functions at end of gs_init.
This feature is necessary due to customized
builds of Ghostscript : some 'dev' depend each
on other and some functions are needed to execute
after all devs are preset. Currently it is only used
for obtaining the Unicode Decoding resource,
but later it will be used for perfectly consistent
processing of font and CID font map files,
both with FAPI and without it.
3. gs_resmp.ps slightly changed for handling
resource maps which are not defined as files.
4. The new file gs_resst.ps implements a procset
for handling static resource files. Both gs_resst.ps and
gs_ciddc.ps use the %static% iodevice.
5. The new file gs_resst.ps creates a map of resource files
placed in static segment. Later it would be nice
to generate it during GS installation. With the defined
resource set gs_init.obj grows up to 1.5Meg,
but both MSVC and gcc/Cygwin could handle it.
Currently all resources in gs_stres.ps are COMMENTED OUT
to prevent problems building Ghostscript with COMILE_INITS=1
on Mac and VMS. To uncomment them, replace '%-' with empty string.
This patch was locally tested with entire comparefiles
with COMPILE_INITS=0. It should not cause regressions.
Also it was slightly tested with COMPILE_INITS=1 :
the static resources work fine.
The patch assumes that during a GS build resource files
are placed in gs/Resource/ . It uses 1 Decoding and
a dozen of CMaps, which are necessary for the CID font emulation
and for FAPI to work. You need to uncomment them
in gs_stres.ps .
When GS is invoked, resources are being loaded from both
the static segment and from the OLD(!!!!!) default path.
In other words, the resource machinery works fine,
but the default resource path is not fixed yet.
I intend to fix it in the next day or two.
The patch depends on
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2003-February/002950.html
The patch does not include CMaps and Decodings resources.
They to be added separately.

Fix : Improving the CIDFontType 2 font copying.
DETAILS :
I believe that the code about copying CIDFontType 2 glyphs
is overcomplicated with mixing CIDs and GIDs, and needs to be
cleaned up. The old code had an obvious inconsistency :
it allocated a smaller array for glyph indices than written,
causing a heap damage. This patch simply makes the code to be
self-consistent. I can't say that I completely
understand whether CIDs/GIDs passed correctly or not.
Now it is working, but the correctness was not proved,
and Acrobat Reader doesn't show the glyph with /CIDTTEMUL
(see below).
The problem was detected with COMPILE_INITS=1 with emulating
a CID wont with mshei.ttf . The following program had crashed
with pdfwrite :
/glyph 2300 def
/ShinGo-Bold /CIDFont findresource
100 scalefont setfont
100 200 moveto glyph glyphshow
/CIDTTEMUL /CIDFont findresource
100 scalefont setfont
100 100 moveto glyph glyphshow
showpage
with the cidfmap file like this :
/ShinGo-Bold << /FileType /TrueType /Path (f:/WIN2000/Fonts/batang.ttf) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/CIDTTEMUL << /FileType /TrueType /Path (f:/WIN2000/Fonts/mshei.ttf) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
The effect is indeterministic.
When I build GS with regenerate gs_init.c,
it crashed if run in same session of Developer Studio.
But if I close-open the Developer Studio and run GS,
it doesn't crash.
The patch should enlarge the array, which was written outside
the index range. The problem looks gone.
Meanwhile the CID/GID logics in gxcopy.c to be revised someday.

pdfwrite : Account GlyphNames2Unicode while creating ToUnicode CMaps for simple fonts.
DETAILS:
This patch improves the previous one.
It generalizes the GlyphNames2Unicode processing for any simple font.
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented facility, which Adobe Postscript
printer driver PScript5.dll Version 5.2 uses to communicate with
Adobe Distiller. Adobe applies it to Type 3 and Type 42 fonts.
Adobe uses Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode only for compatibility
with interpreters, which cannot handle Type 32. With other
interpreters (including Ghostscript) the generated PS program
skips GlyphNames2Unicode data. Therefore the feature
is now implemented for Type 3 but it is not involved while
processing such documents. Need to patch "32 /FontType findresource"
to involve it. Probably with pdfwrite the DSC parser should recognize
the creator and exclude 32 from /FontType resource category.
This patch unwinds the enhanced functionality of gs_font_procs::glyph_info
with GLYPH_INFO_UTC16, which was done with the previous patch,
and introduces a new virtual function gs_font_procs::decode_glyph.
Doing so because GLYPH_INFO_UTC16 causes multiple redundant code
for various font types due to dependence on interpreter structures.
SF bug #684120 tracks additional issues.

pdfwrite : Account GlyphNames2Unicode while creating ToUnicode CMaps

DETAILS:
GlyphNames2Unicode is an undocumented facility, which Adobe Postscript

Adobe Distiller. Adobe applies it to Type 3 and Type 42 fonts.
Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode is used only for compatibility
with interpreters, which cannot handle Type 32.
Since Ghostscript is not such, there is no need to implement
Type 3 with GlyphNames2Unicode. We don't do that.
This patch enhances the functionality of gs_font_procs::glyph_info
with retrieving Unicode UTC-16 code for a glyph. This enhancement
is implemented for practically useful cases only, which are
restricted with Type 42.
The gs_font_dir::glyph_to_unicode
callback is now removed because it is not longer useful.
SF bug #684120 tracks additional issues.
Working on this patch, I tried put the Unicode Decoding table
as a default value to FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode and remove the unicode_decoder.
But it appears not working, because test.ps for SF bug #529103 needs to
collect substitutions from both FontInfo.GlyphNames2Unicode and Unicode Decoding.
I removed the "WARNING: /Unicode /Decoding resource in not accessible",
because the flag for preventing its repetitions is not accessible from
gs_font_procs::glyph_info. A similar warning in lib/gs_pdfwr.ps still works.

pdfwrite : Generating ToUnicode CMaps for simple fonts.
For fonts with random encoding it allows to Copy-Paste text

DETAILS:
This code requires /Unicode /Decoding resource.
If the resource is absent, PDF will be written without ToUnicode CMap,
a warning is written to stdout explaining that the resource may be useful,
and another warning may be written to stderr if the resource is actually
useful for the document.
To access the resource I introduced a special operator .setupUnicodeDecoder .
It is called from gs_pdfwr.ps and stores the resource to gs_font_dir,
together with a callback which performs the decoding.
This is only a way to pass the resource through the graphics library.
It is definitely not a device parameter, and converting it to
C structures would be hard.

a better idea where to put it.

The CID to TT mapping : Providing a single map file
for both the CID font to CID font substitution and
True Type font to CID font substitution.
DETAILS:
Minor changes :
- Allowed a mapped category redefinition with no map file.
The map file may be delayed until a later redefinition.
- Changed the order of CIDFont category redefinitions in int.mak .
- Removed the usage of gs/lib/cidttmap.
- Improved a comment in gs/lib/cidfmap about its format.
- Provided an automatic choice of SubstNWP.
- Added an idle entry into the SubstNWP collection.
- Added a comment in zfapi.c . It's a problem.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is almost complete except 2 features :
1. Relative paths are not allowed in the gs/lib/cidfmap file.
2. An optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.

The CID to TT mapping : Building CIDMap with SubstNWP.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
With this patch narrow, wide and proportional Romans
may substitute each another while emulating a CJK CID font
with True Type font. Usually True Types contain insufficient
glyph to render all them. The substitution prevents missed glyphs.
This patch introduces a new special operator .fillCIDMap .
It composes a CID map from a Decoding, a True Type cmap,
and SubstNWP. PS code would be too big and slow for this purpose.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is almost complete except 2 features :
1. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
2. An optimization is wanted for gs_type42_get_outline_from_TT_file.
See comment in there.
Minor changes :
- Fixed a bug in gs_cidfn.ps which tried to store a local
FontMatrix to a global font dictionary.
- A portion of code is factored out from zfapi.c to share with .fillCIDMap

CID font emulation : Choosing a cmap with gs/lib/xlatmap.
DETAILS:
This patch only changes a code which work for
FAPI or for CID font emulation. Regular GS invocation
should not change a behavior.
This is a next step of the CID font emulation.
Now it can handle all Windows JCK charsets, including Unicode-16.
In other words, a CJK font with any Windows charset can be used for emulation.
To handle other CJK charsets one should create an appropriate
CIDDecoding resource and add it into gs/lib/xlatmap.
Minor changes :
- Speeded up the TT file parser using the 'setfileposition'.
- Improved some diagnostic messages.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is still incomplete :
1. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -

The CID to TT mapping :
1. Providing an access to glyphs on demand.
2. Handle TTC font format.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
With this patch glyf and loca tables are being skipped while loading
a True Type into RAM. An access by demand is provided instead
(This works for CIDFontType 2; it is not used for Type 42).
Map file may contain records with SubfontID, which
specifies a font number in a TTC collection.
TTC format is implemented for disk files only,
because embedded fonts never use it.
To provide the on-demand access, the patch introduces a special
extension of the Postscript language.
A CIDFontType 2 dictionary may contain /File with a file value.
It should be a positionable file of the TTF or TTC format.
When it presents, the dictionary must contain /file_table_pos,
which's value is a dictionary of 2-element arrays, which specify
position and length of a TT table in the file. 2 arrays
must present with keys /loca and /glyph.
We would like to optimize this implementation.

Fix for 673108. The test file has a stream which contains an invalid
stream length. However Acrobat handles the file.
Details:
The invalid stream length was bad enough that we were positioning beyond
the end of the file when we searched for the endstream. A check was
added for this case and if so then we ignore repositioning the file
before searching for the endstream. Note: There is already logic in
the code which emits a warning message if the endstream is not found.
A second part of this fix was to clean up the stack if the endstream
is not found.

CID font emulation : Adding a code for CIDMap generation,
and moving the xlatmap scanner to gs_fntem.ps .
DETAILS:
This patch only changes a code which work for
FAPI or for CID font emulation. Regular GS invocation
should not change a behavior.
This is a next step of the CID font emulation.
Now it correctly maps most CIDs to Unicode fonts.
Secondary changes :
- I made xlatmap accessible from gs_ttf.c .
It should be used choosing a cmap.
- improving some comments and function names.
- Removed a redundant definition of a CIDFont,
which was unintentionally introduced with the previous patch.
The implementation of the CID font emulator is still incomplete :
1. Entire True Type fonts are loaded into VM.
2. SubfontID is being ignored.
3. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
4. Access to glyphs by demand is not done.
5. SubstNWP is being ignored.
6. The choice the Unicode cmap is hardcoded.
Should use xlatmap instead.
The previous log message recommends to use PMINGLIU.TTF.
Actually it requires a True Type bytecode interpreter,
which GS doesn't provide. The font mshei.ttf does not.

Enhancing the resource machinery with mapping CID fonts to True Types.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior if a new file
gs/lib/cidttmap is not added. Normally it is not.
Adding 2 new files gs_fntem.ps and gs_cidtt.ps and reorganizing
old files gs_cidfn.ps, gs_fapi.ps, gs_resmp.ps with them.
This moves a part of FAPI support to a more general level.
The moved stuff is shared with the FAPI and the new CID font mapper.
After this change Ghostscript can load Unicode True Type fonts
as a substitution to a CIDFontType 2 and render it.
At least the Windows font PMINGLIU.TTF succeeds.
But the implementation is very incomplete :
1. The CID to GID mapping is fully wrong.
2. Entire True Type fonts are loaded into VM.
3. The CID font to CID font mapper and
the True Type to CID font mapper use different map files -
cidfmap and cidttmap.
All these 3 solutions are temporary and to be improved later.
To involve the new feature, create a new file gs/lib/cidttmap,
and put records to there of the following format :
/ShinGo-Bold << /FileType /TrueType /Path (F:/WIN2000/Fonts/PMINGLIU.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] /SubstNWP /Japan1 >> ;
It is similar to gs/lib/FAPIcidfmap, see Use.htm about the latter.
This patch does not include a change to documentation,
because it is too early to announce it to users.

<blockquote><pre>
Implementing a new user parameter AlignToPixels and
a new command line argument AlignToPixels.
They allow to choose the alignment of glyphs to
integral pixels or to subpixels while a text rendering.
DETAILS:
This patch should not change any behavior except
-dAlignToPixels=0 is specified.
A change to documentation about the new parameter is included.
With NEW_TYPE1_HINTER = 1 the value 0 of AlignToPixels implies :
1. Caching a glyph raster, fractional glyph origins
give different images, which are stored
in individual slots. The space consumption in the
character cache increases. This happens for all font types.
2. While hinting a Type 1 or 2 font, glyph origins and widths
are rounded to subpixels rather than to pixels, and the grid fitting
is done to the subpixel grid.
CIDFontType 0 descendents had NULL pointer to gs_font_dir.
The new code needs to access the font directory,
so the pointer is now set.
The new code needs glyph origin and log2_scale to lookup
a glyph in cache. Therefore show_proceed and
set_cache_device were reorganized with a new function
compute_glyph_raster_params. The new algorithm uses a
slightly different (and more complicated) logics
for computation and initialization of penum->origin.
It was well tested, but in case of problems please
consider it as a weak point.

New Type 1 hinter : (1) It did not work with pdfwrite because
gx_path_init_bbox_accumulator doesn't provide a memory.
(2) Coded an alignment to subpixels.
(3) Removed a hack about suppressing a microscopic segment.
DETAILS:
This patch changes a disabled code only.
It codes an alignment to subpixels, but for a while
it is permanently turned off.
gx_path_init_bbox_accumulator is used by gs_default_glyph_info for
computing a bounding box for a glyph. It does not
store segments to memory, therefore a reference to memory manager
is not provided. But the new hinter accesses it
if a stack-allocated array overflows.
Implementing an immediate transfer of outline poles to
the output path without storing them intermediately in arrays.
This mode works when a grid fitting is not required.
Only exception is flex poles : up to 9 of them
are stored in arrays while flex accumulates.
It must not overflow arrays.
The hack about microscopic segment was a rudiment of old code.
gs_op1_closepath was unintentionally called while
exporting an outline from the hinter. I believe that
the hack is incorrect and should not be applied.
Some outlines render differently.
I'm sorry for mixing 3 things in a single patch.
I've started the subpixel alignment, and
then occasionally discovered other problems.
It's hard to separate changes after they are done,
and I don't think that the separation is so important.

pdfwrite : Implementing widthshow and xshow for composite and CID fonts.
The old (default) implementation converted to raster fonts

convert fonts to raster except for Type 3.
DETAILS:
This also closes the Source Forge bug
"[ 663635 ] ps2pdf cannot tune spacing by xshow for CJK text".
and provides better glyph positions with ashow for WMode 1.
There are small changes to graphics library :
1. Added interface function gx_current_char, which retrieves
a code of current character from a gs_text_enum_t instance.
The function was factored out from an old code.
2. Provided a default metrics for CID fonts for WMode 1.
This is done pretty roughly, because the interface
function glyph_info cannot pass some necessary information (WMode).
Minor changes :
1. Removed the comment "We know that the Tw and Tc values are zero",
It was wrong a long time ago.
2. Inserted a comment about unimplemented DW2. An old code near the
comment depends on the fact that DW2 is not implemented.

Fix for [ 664473 ] 64bit color indexes break X driver.
This fix corrects some problems found with the X window
driver and 64 bit gx_color_indexes found by customer 1110.
DETAILS:
The problems were found on Sparc workstations running the
Solaris 8.0. The problem has not been reported on other
systems. However the fix is simple (and contributed by
customer 1110) and should work on all systems. The fix
is simply to use "long" for values passed to X windows
system routines. This is done via a combination of casts
or local variables depending upon the situation. The use
of "long" for gx_color_index was the default prior to the
8.0 release. The X windows device does not need the extra
size for color values.

Within the display device, correctly allocate the memory device
with the correct structure descriptor.
DETAILS:
The display device was allocating a memory device by taking a
memory device prototype from gdev_mem_device_for_bits and then
using gs_copydevice on it. This allocates the wrong size
because the prototype does not have a structure descriptor. The
correct way is to allocate it with gs_alloc_struct with
st_device_memory as an argument. This bug was found when using
the display device in GhostPCL, which was complaining on
shutdown about the unfreed structure descriptors left behind by
gs_copydevice.

The prior code in pick_cell_size used an unusual metric for
measuring the "closeness of fit" of an actual screen cell to the
requested frequency and angle. If the angle variation was 0 (quite
likely for the common 0/45/90 degree angles), the frequency
variation was ignored. In addition, this metric was very sensitive
to floating-point arithmetic round-off errors. The new metric is

Reducing the C stack consumption in ztype1execchar.
The new code must be equivalent to the old one.
DETAILS:
The new type 1 hinter (with NEW_TYPE1_HINTER = 1 in gx.h)
puts more 11K of data to C stack. Perhaps due to a recursion
in bbox_draw 2 instances of the hinter were placed in C stack
simultaneously, causing C stack overflow with gswin32c.exe on
Windows NT 4.0 (but not on Windows 2000).
Perhaps the recursion is not necessary.
Reorganizing the sequence of calls to avoid the recursion.
New argument 'exec_cont' was added to several
functions for transferring the call request to clients.
Corresponding comments are added in code.
Also z1_glyph_info prototype was added in ichar1.h .
It was missed a long time ago, Cygwin/gcc warned.
A further improvement may be done with factoring out
a common code from bbox_finish_fill, bbox_finish_stroke,
bbox_fill, bbox_stroke. Delaying it until a regression testing.

DETAILS:
This is a fix for systems without interlibrary dependencies. We don't use
the LIBS variable constructed by default by the AC_CHECK_LIB macro and
did not maintain it in our previous zlib test, thus -lz was not included
on the link line in the libpng test.
Our primary test systems for the autoconf build (Debian GNU/Linux and MacOS X + fink)
include an interlibrary dependency, so this did not cause a problem. On

With the old type 1 hinter, hinted outlines get

With self-intersections, the side of spot interior
may be different for different parts of same line.
This patch completely replaces the handling of
horizontal lines. It maintains 2 lists of

<blockquote><pre>
Initial commit for a new type 1 hinter.
This patch must not change any behavior.
DETAILS:
This is a porting from HINTER branch.
The old hinter cannot handle overlapping hints,
but real fonts do use them.
The handling of overlapped hints cannot be done within
a single-pass algorithm. Therefore we intend to replace entire thing.
Besides, it should fix a set of known problems :
- stem degradation at small resolutions;
- stem missing or misrecognition;
- proper adjustment of dependent stems;
- suppress overshoots closer to Adobe;
This patch introduces a couple of new macros,
which will be removed later.
For switching to the new hinter, change the definition of
NEW_TYPE1_HINTER in gx.h . It is not well debugged yet.
New files added : gxhintn.c, gxhintn.h .

Reduce state.width delta radius calculation for shadings that was made too

DETAILS:
Previous commit mistakenly included the state.dr value as both the X and

The hypot is actually all that is required to handle getting the correct
scaled radius distance independent of the CTM rotation.
The use of state.dr for both X and Y preceded the use of hypot on dev_dr
and wasn't taken out when the hypot function use was added.
This should eliminate most, if not all regressions caused by the 12/24

Improving the dropout prevention algorithm
This patch changes disabled code only.
DETAILS:
In zchar42.c I set path adjustment to zero.
It is the correct value with dropout prevention.
The last revision of dropout prevention algorithm
appears buggy : the order of margins in margin_list
can be wrong and causes dropouts. This is essentially
important with CJK True Types, which have thing horizontal
stems and no hinting with GS.
This revision replaces the representation of margins
with a simpler one. It is not optimized for bold
characters, perhaps the optimization is not hard.
See comment in code about "bold".
A good advantage is the removal of insert_pseudo_margin.
It appears done due to insufficient knowledge of the old algorithm.

Improving and optimizing the dropout prevention algorithm
with splitting gx_default_fill_parallelogram into 2 variants.
DETAILS:
This patch almost changes a disabled code.
A simple reorganization of some enabled code should not
cause a behavior difference.
Filling a "small" character, we always subdivide trapezoids into
rectangles instead passing them to device virtual function.
It allows :
1. Not passing narrow trapezoids to applications
which implement fill_trapezoid with own means;
Narrow trapezoids could cause dropouts in there.
2. Optimize variants of fill_trapezoid algorithm which
are used for different purposes (preventing about 10% slowdown
with shadings).
We believe this change isn't harmful because
regularly we render small characters to cache device,
which simply forwards trapezoids to default implementation.
Alternatively we could insert a check for narrow trapezoids
into loop_fill_trap, but such check appears complex and
it would sensibly reduce performance.
New files added : gdevddrw.h, gxdtfill.h .
Change to lib.mak accounts them.
Besides that, with dropout prevention we now skip empty paths
in characters, because Adobe doesn't paint them.

Initial commit for the dropout prevention code in rasterizer.
It doesn't not change any behavior.
DETAILS:
Switching to new code is being controlled with DROPOUT_PREVENTION
macro defined in gx.h . Now it is set to "use old code".
This patch :
1. Ports the "margin" algorithm from HINTER branch.
Now the algorithm renamed to "pseudo-rasterization".
2. Ports the dropout prevention to gx_default_fill_trapezoid from HINTER branch,
providing a contiguous fill for slightly slanted trapezoids.
3. Adds CONNECT_RECTANGLES into gx_default_fill_trapezoid
providing a contiguous fill for highly slanted trapezoids.
4. Fixes some problems in the "pseudo-rasterization".
5. Disables all hacks about path adjustment and oversampling
when DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on. Those hacks were attempts
to fix dropouts for small characters, but they do not solve
the problem completely.
6. Provide visual trace instructions for debugging purpose.
Changes to gxpcopy.c and gxpflat.c only insert visual trace instructions for
debugging purpose. Currently all them compile to empty code.
Changes to gdevddrw.c, gxchar.c, gxtype1.c, gx.h
are protected with DROPOUT_PREVENTION. With current settings they
compile to old code.
Changes to gxfill.c are not so obvious. I was unhappy with duplicating
a thousand of lines in #if...#else...#endif. Therefore
I've inserted some dynamic checks. They are controlled with
'pseudo_rasterization' flag. Currently it always false,
so that inserted sections are either bypassed or immediately
return from subroutines.
Changes to lib.mak only add some dependences on vdtrace.h .
In local testing the patch caused no difference with
Comparefiles (if DROPOUT_PREVENTION is 0).
If someone wants to try new code, DROPOUT_PREVENTION to be modified in gx.h .
In this case all old hacks about path adjustment are disabled,
and therefore characters render some lighter.
Visual trace may be activated with -Tf option in gs command line.
Note that it paints a big draft for any character rendered,
so you should run only simple PS files with a single character.
Also the draft scale is hardcoded in VD_SCALE constants,
so it may give an unuseful result with big character rasters.
At last please remember that visual trace window is implemented
only for Windows - other platforms will not paint anything.
The visual trace window does not implement a regeneration of painting,
therefore windows must not overlap. Run gswin32.exe with no file,
move windows and then perform 'quit' to store window layout to system Registry.
here is a simple test, which visualize improvements when
DROPOUT_PREVENTION is on :

100 350 moveto
/Courier findfont 2 scalefont [5 0 0 1 0 0] makefont setfont
(/) show
showpage
With 72dpi the old code paints nothing.
The (DROPOUT_PREVENTION=1) paints a spot.
Testing the new code with -r300 001.01.ps, the box 001-12 renders better :
no dropouts in "4", characters look better.
In gx.h I've added FILL_TRAP_WITH_SWAPPED_AXES flag. The goal is to archive
and document a dead branch of the development. I'd like to store it into
archive and then remove it in the next revision.
Two temporary configuration switches added for benchmarking purpose :
- PSEUDO_RASTERIZATION in gxfill.c disables the pseudo-rasterization
separately from other changes.
- CONTIGUOUS_FILL disables additional checks in gdevddrw.c
separately from other changes.
With text documents performance change is almost invisible.
With Coons01.ps each of these flags give a 10% slowdown.
I guess the reason is that the code becomes too complex for
global optimization with MSVC 6.0 for Intel Pentium 3.
Other compilers/processors may give different results.
Thanks to Ray Johnston and Raph Levien for useful remarks.
This patch accounts them.

Prevent the bbox put_params from using the color mapping
functions before the device is opened.
Fixes Sourceforge bug #645531 "seg fault: bbox device + PAPERSIZE".
DETAILS:
Using "-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=bbox" crashes in GS 8 when the
device parameters are being set prior to opening the bbox device.
bbox_put_params calls bbox_copy_params, gx_device_black
then the bbox encode_color which is NULL.
This is wrong because encode_color must not be called before
the device is open. See doc/Drivers.htm#Life_cycle for details.
Prior to the DeviceN changes this did not matter because
the map_rgb_color function was valid. Post DeviceN the
encode_color procedure is called and this is NULL until
just before the bbox device is opened.
The fix prevents bbox_copy_params from calling the
encode_color procedure while the device is closed.

DETAILS:
The file contains an embedded TT font subset that has a badly formatted
'post' table. This table is used to replace names in the standard encoding
for specific glyphs. The 'post' table in question maps a bunch of glyphs
that are not part of the subset to the first name in glyphnames section,
but the glyphnames section is empty. It should have at least a single byte
of 0x00 to form a zero length Pascal string.
I also added a warning that prints if the DEBUG is enabled. Since the
'postglyphs' string is automatically extended with a 0x00 byte when the
problem is detected, the warning only prints once for the font.

<blockquote><pre>
Handling of OpenType (OTTO) fonts with CFF fonts inside would fail if the
CFF table was not the first table in the table directory. Also stack
overflow could occur when building the FDSelect array. Now Asian fonts
sold by Adobe (as OpenType .otf fonts) can be used with Ghostscript.
DETAILS:
The initial table scanning checked the 32-bit table type against the
(CFF ) string, but then failed to skip the following 12 bytes if the table
was not CFF. Since the initial table is usually BASE, most OTTO fonts were
not usable.
Also the FDSelect array construction used the stack, so could easily
overflow if there was a largest glyph index in the font was too large. The
method used creates a 65535 element array, then fills it using the info
from the font's FDSelect info. The extra elements of the array are 'trimmed'
using getinterval.

<blockquote><pre>
When adding a missing showpage to an EPS file,
don't bind showpage to allow user to override it.
DETAILS:
The EPS encapsulation code in ghostscript adds a showpage
if one is not present, so that displaying, printing and
converting all behave the same. Some users are feeding
multiple EPS files to ghostscript, intending to print them
on a single page. The current code will print each EPS file
on a single page. For example following code would print
three pages:
save
/showpage {} def
save (file1.eps) run restore
save (file2.eps) run restore
restore
showpage
With this fix, it will print a single page.
Other ways to avoid this problem are to use -dNOEPS,
or (file.eps) (r) file cvx exec

active. (lib/gs_cspace.ps [1.5]: 2002/11/18 23:42:18 dan)
- Packed array is accepted now as an encoded user path in insideness
testing operators. Bug #640855 (zupath.c [1.7]: 2002/11/20 18:17:28
alexcher)
- Fix : (1) gc_status.requested was not initialized for stable
memories, but used by alloc_acquire_chunk. (2) setting
gc_status.vm_threshold and gc_status.enabled for stable memories
synchronously with non-stable ones. This allows to control stable memories
with setvmthreshold and vmreclaim. With default settings pdfwrite now works
faster. SourceForge bug "[ 621243 ] (pdfwrite) slow mahle.pdf"
(zvmem2.c [1.7]: 2002/11/20 18:56:56 igor)
- Bring /SubstituteFont procedure prototype up to the standard:
<name> SubstituteFont <name> . Do traditional GS font
substitution after the standard font substitution. Use no-op standard font
substitution for backward compatibility. Bug #637424 Customer #71
