ghostscript (9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Ghostscript 9.06 final release
     - PDF/A-2 - pdfwrite now supports the creation of PDF/A-2 files. The
       'PDFA' command line switch can now take a numeric parameter:
         0 = not PDF/A compliant
         1 = PDF/A-1b compliant
         2 = PDF/A-2b compliant
       Simply specifying "-dPDFA" continues to have the old behaviour of
       creating PDF/A-1b files. For PDF/A-2 the command line should include
       "-dPDFA=2".
     - pdfwrite "Server mode" - pdfwrite can now be run in "server mode" which
       allows the device to be closed without closing the interpreter. This
       means it is no longer necessary to terminate GS before starting a new
       PDF conversion. This leads on to:
     - pdfwrite now supports the "%d" format in the OutputFile switch. If this
       is set then pdfwrite will output each page of input to an individual
       file.
     - ps2write - recent exposure to a range of PostScript devices has thrown
       up some interesting deficiencies in those devices. ps2write now emits
       PostScript in slightly different ways in order to produce output on a
       wider variety of devices. In some cases this also results in improved
       print times but it is still important to set the resolution
       appropriately for the output device, especially if the input contains
       transparency.
     - Ghostscript can now use output intents defined in PDFs by using the
       "-dUsePDFX3Profile" command line option. See ICC Color Parameters for
       details.
     - tiffsep/tiffsep1: support for large numbers of separations improved.
       The previous implementation of those devices utilised a "compressed
       color encoding" to represent the tints for all the plates in one 64 bit
       value. As the number of plates increased, fewer bits were available for
       the tint for each plate, ultimately resulting in an "unencodable pixels"
       error. These revisions remove the reliance on the compressed color
       encoding, thus ensuring that we have a consistent color bit depth,
       regardless of the number of plates, and ensuring the "unencodable
       pixels" error will never occur.
     - Also as a result of these changes, there are substantial performance
       improvements in jobs with separations and transparency.
     - tiffsep, psdcmyk and psdrgb now support the "downscaler" functionality.
       This brings the "tiffscaled" style functionality to the DeviceN output
       devices, so jobs can be rendered internally in contone and at a high
       resolution, and the output optionally downsampled by a level specified
       by "-dDownScaleFactor=n", and also optionally error diffused to 1bpp
       output.
     - clist storage, for rendering pages in bands, is now a run-time option:
       -sBandListStorage={file|memory}.
     - Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
       incremental improvements.
     - Using built-in libopenjpeg with security fixes for CVE-2009-5030,
       CVE-2012-1499, and CVE-2012-3358.
  * debian/rules: Updated DEB_UPSTREAM_TARBALL_MD5
  * debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
    which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
