This file highlights changes unique to the GhostPDL languages:
PCL/PXL, XPS, SVG and the language switch configuration.  Ghostscript
changes are documented in its own NEWS file.  GhostPDL uses a lot of
Ghostscript's code, in particular the graphics library and many output
devices are shared, so many items in the Ghostscript NEWS file are
relevant to GhostPDL.  GhostPDL users should consult both files.

GhostPDL Release 9.0.4 (August 2011)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* This release is primarily a bug fixing release with some
  improvements to auto configuration for unix and Mac OS X
  environments.

 
GhostPDL Release 9.0.2 (March 2011)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Revised approach for applying a halftone to sampled image data
  for monochrome output devices.


GhostPDL Release 9.0.1 (February 2011)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Adds this file (NEWS) to document newsworthy changes since the last
  release.

* Profile configurations for Visual Studio projects are now supported.

* Implementation for JPEG-XR (previously known as HD-Photo) has been
  completed for XPS.

* The languages: PCL, XPS and SVG, now support and default to the
  display device on Windows.

* Optimizations related to clipping and blank pages, for details see
  logs for revisions 12036 and 12027.

* pcl/PCL5C_Color_Laserjet_4700_Differences.xls and
  pxl/PXL_Color_Laserjet_4700_Differences.xls document and illustrate
  differences between the Artifex PCL interpreter and the HP Color
  Laserjet 4700.

* Include the new tiffscaled device.  This entry overlaps with a
  similar news entry in ghostscript news but the device is important
  for PCL fax customers and was worthy of mention here as well.  See
  Ghostscript news for details.

* The languages (PCL, XPS and SVG) now support the ps2write device.
  This is intended to replace pswrite which will eventually be
  deprecated in a future release.  The output of ps2write is
  DSC-compliant level 2 PostScript.
