gv NEWS:
========
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GV 3.6.1 (27 December 2004) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
# New set of command line arguments. This solves the horrid bug on
gv 3.6.0 that made such release nearly unusable. See the
documentation for details about the new argument list.
# The "Reopen" entry on the File menu has been renamed to "Reload" in
order to be coherent with the "Reload" button.
# The distributed package structure have been fixed, now conforming a
legal GNU source package.
# The delete key now work as expected, that is, it deletes the next
character rather the last character when typed on text entries.
# Dot files are not shown by default on file selection forms.
# If you try to open an empty file you get a coherent error
message.
# New manual page
* Most of the Debian patches has been applied to gv:
162830_scanf.diff (Fix a security risk involving buffer overflows)
167029_argv.diff (Fix an access beyond end of array on process.c)
206008_flicker.diff (Add double-buffering to pixmap operations)
223556_hidden_dir.diff (Do not show dot files on file listings)
250854_tmp_umask.diff (Tempfiles should not be created worldreadable)
252548_errno.diff (Wrong error message while opening empty files)
179643_bad_dsc.diff (Make DSC parsing case-insensitive)
159433_delete_key.diff (Change behaviour of Delete key on text entries)
* The gs command used for PDF to PostScript conversion has been fixed to allow
document saving.
? It is not possible to zoom when viewing PDF 1.4 files. PDF 1.5 files are
not supported at all.
? The quality of postcript files generated by saving PDF files is poor.
? See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gv for more known bugs on
this release.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GV 3.6.0 (20 November 2004) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
# New configuration/compilation/installation using GNU Autotools
# Documentation is now distributed in texinfo format.
# "Redisplay" button has been renamed to "Reload".
# Some GNU standard command line arguments are supported now:
--help, --usage and --version.
# Antialiasing is now used by default.
# Solved bug #11014: gv is capable to open files with spaces (or other
harm character) in the filename.
