Removed print/ghostscript; moved to print/ghostscript-agpl.
Changes 9.07:
As of this release (9.07), Ghostscript and GhostPDL are distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL).
Ghostscript now has the option to be built as thread safe. Note that not all devices are thread safe. See the GS_THREADSAFE option in: GS_THREADSAFE
The pdfwrite devices now supports linearized (or optimized for fast web view) output directly ("-dFastWebView")
The Font API (FAPI) has been moved from the Postscript interpreter (psi) into the graphics library (base), and extended to support the other languages (PCL/PXL/XPS). All interpreters now use Freetype by default to render all viable font types.
Ghostscript has been extended to support Postscript string and array objects with >64k entries.
Ghostscript has been extended to support file sizes >4Gb - in particular reading and writing PDF files. As a side effect of this, Ghostscript also now supports 64 bit Postscript integer objects.
All CMYK devices can now support simulated overprint of spot colors using the "-dSimulateOverprint" command line option.
Support for use of DeviceN ICC color profiles as the output profile with the tiffsep and psdcmyk devices.
Support for customized named color handling with DeviceN colors
Support for black point compensation
Support for K preservation in CMYK to CMYK conversions
Support for DeviceLink profiles for graphic, image and text objects
Support for custom color replacement
Increased control in specifying color conversions as a function of object type
Full details of the color management features can be found in: GS9_Color_Management.pdf
Provide BigTIFF output option: the tiff devices can write BigTIFF files using the "-dUseBigTIFF" option. This requires libtiff version >=4.0.0 (the option is ignored for versions <4.0.0)
LittleCMS updated to 2.4
Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
(1) Bump version 8.71 to 9.05 (importing from wip/ghostscript).

OK'ed by wiz@, thanks a lot.
update to 8.71 This is the second release in the stable 8.7x series. It features improved handling of fonts, nesting and color fixes with transparency objects, reduced memory footprint for the halftone cache, as well as improvements to the pxl output devices, and the usual number of bug and robustness fixes.
Convert @exec/@unexec to @pkgdir or drop it.
Remove @dirrm entries from PLISTs
update to 8.64 Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release. Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents. Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and support for using the system's default paper size on unix. The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from PostScript code to C. A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution and paper tray selection.
Build libgs as a shared library as increasingly other packages expect it to be there and want to link with it. Bump PKGREVISION.
update to 8.63 changes: -bugfixes -multithreaded rendering -Images are now always interpolated in their source colorspace -Support for OpenPrinting Vector devices has been upgraded to version 1.0 -two new devices: cairo, svgwrite -maximum number of color components has been reduced to 8 (from 252) -The -Z: debugging option now uses 'realtime' instead of 'usertime'
Convert to use PLIST_VARS instead of manually passing "@comment " through PLIST_SUBST to the plist module.
Try removing share/ghostscript directory during uninstall. Bump PKGREVISION.
update to 8.62, fixes a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-0411) (it appearently doesn't fix the font embedding problems in PDF generation reported recently)
Conditionally add cups files to PLIST. From Matthias Drochner. Partially addresses PR pkg/37888.
update to 8.61 changes: a number of bug fixes and improvements Note: The default device in the gcc build is now the 'x11alpha' device which provides antialiasing for display. To recover the old default behaviour add '-sDEVICE=x11' to the command line.
Pull over the "cups" option, based largely on the implementation of the "cups" option in ghostscript-esp, although there it was on by default. Here it is off by default, which is more in keeping with how the "cups" option is generally used - it is usually off by default, and a CUPS user would usually add "cups" to the global options.
*blink* check-files didn't run for some reason, so update the PLIST and bump revision.
update to 8.57 In addition to the usual bug fixes, there are specific performance and quality improvements in the areas of patterns, shading and image filtering. Also new in this release is an implementation of the Well Tempered Screening algorithm in an output device, using Graeme Gill's IMDI library for efficient color mapping. pkgsrc change: use the bundled jasper as the pkgsrc one is incompatible
Update to gpl ghostscript-8.54 aka print/ghostscript-afpl relaunched under GPL with options.mk. This was discussed on tech-pkg@.
Add x11 option to the various ghostscript packages, and get rid of the separate ghostscript*x11* packages.
