ghostscript (8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-1) unstable; urgency=low
As the ESP Ghostscript development is discontinued now, the extra
functionality of ESP Ghostscript is merged into upstream GPL Ghostscript
from version 8.60 on. This is the first Debian/Ubuntu package of this
merged Ghostscript. It contains the following added functionality from
ESP Ghostscript:
- Enhanced PCL XL driver.
- Shared library and driver (X11) support for Linux/UNIX.
- The CUPS "driver" that generates a series of raster
images for CUPS printer drivers.
- Nearly all known free printer drivers which have to
be compiled into Ghostscript - drivers listed with
"Execution style: Ghostscript" on openprinting.org.
Not included are some obsolete drivers such as hpdj
which is replaced by the included pcl3 driver.
- All known Uniprint configuration files (*.upp) as
listed on openprinting.org.
- Patches to add the NOMEDIAATTRS option to Ghostscript,
which allows CUPS drivers to use media options
separate from Ghostscript.
- KRGB support for IJS drivers.
- OpenPrinting Vector interface
- Support files for CUPS.
- Enhanced build system (easy driver selection, font
search path setting, ...).
This package has everything activated.
Due to Ghostscript's head development being under GPL now, and all important
functionality being developed at ghostscript.com, forks are not needed any
more. This makes gs-esp, gs-afpl, and gs-common obsolete. gs-gpl is also
renamed to ghostscript now, so that it can be found in repositories more
easily. This new ghostscript package automatically removes all gs-* packages.

gs-gpl (8.01-5) unstable; urgency=low
For CJKV users: GPL gs 8.x does not contain CJK TrueType font
support (it still has CJK CID font support, though), so you can not
use CJK *.ttf/ttc with gs-gpl. I strongly urge you to use
gs-esp for the time being.

gs-gpl (8.01-3) unstable; urgency=low
Currently gs-gpl has stp support, but please note that this driver
will be removed after sarge's release since stp has been obsoleted
by ijs (ijsgimpprint). Those of you who still use stp are strongly
recommended to migrate to ijsgimpprint ASAP.
