Hi A new version of 'gv' has been uploaded to a server near you. DESCRIPTION: ============ A PostScript and PDF viewer for X using 3d Athena Widgets CYGWIN NEWS: ============ o Routine update to latest upstream release gv NEWS: ======== %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GV 3.6.3 (June 2007) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% # gv is now able to work with latest ghostscript: gs 8.57 # The bug causing the version not to figure in the manual has been fixed. # The SIGINT signal is now masked (ignored) by gv. # gv no more segfaults when reading a configuration file as produced by State -> Setup Options -> Save # gv should compile in non-GNU system that doesnt have glib2. The `getopt' gnulib module has been imported to fix this. # gv now correctly adjust the page index window after PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN events. # gv is now able to open files with minus character beginning filenames. # X resources related bugs has been fixed. gv is now able to get resources from the display database, user file, gv system database and command line doing the Right Thing (TM). # gv is now able to correctly understand DocumentMedia and other DSC directives that uses postscript strings. It was not possible with previous versions due to a bug in the postscript names scanning routine. * Vulnerability CVE-2006-5864 has been fixed. * gs is now invoked with `-dFIXEDMEDIA' * The internal gettext implementation has been renamed to `ps_gettext' to avoid collisions with the builtin `gettext' function. * --quiet and --noquiet now works as expected. ? There are troubles with 64 bits machines: the use of x-pointers to store data should be eliminated in subsequent versions. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GV 3.6.2 (14 December 2006) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ?
