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.
