Hi

New versions of 'pstoedit/libpstoedit0/libpstoedit-devel' have been uploaded to a server near you.


Cygwin NEWS:
============

 o Changed hardcoded path to ghostscript from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin

pstoedit NEWS:
===============
  
New or changed in 3.45:

  * Some minor corrections of warnings issued by Coverity Prevent (security related checks).
  * fixed a bug in the fig backend related to dotted lines.
  * added better support for pagesize handling in the driver framework.
  * better handling of fonts using 0 encoded characters (thanks to Vladimir Eltsov)
  * fixed a problem which caused newer versions of GhostScript to go into an endless loop.

New or changed in 3.44:

  * hotfix for the Aysmptote driver to make it compatible with Aysmptote version 1.00.
  * removed some diagnostic messages concerning temporary file handling.
  * removed the pstoedit-config.* since this is replaced by the pkg-config file pstoedit.pc.

New or changed in 3.43:

  * some usability improvements as proposed in Debian Bug Report #347732 http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/msg/c38e1f79d75b3152?dmode=source&hl=de
  * cleaned some minor problems found by the Klocwork checker (www.klocwork.com )  
  * replaced tempnam with mkstemp where available.
  * replaced several string related functions with the secure versions where available (Windows - VC++2005)
  * switched back again to calling GhostScript as .exe instead of via the DLL in case pstoedit is called via gsview. Reason - there can be only one instance of GhostScript per
    process and gsview needs a second instance.
  * a new driver for the OpenOffice metafile format (drvsvm) contributed by Thorsten Behrens. 
  * source code cleanup considering messages issued by Gimpel's FlexeLint/PC-Lint (www.gimpel.com ).
  * added a "-glyphs" option. Given this option, the PostScript frontend passes also (if possible) the glyph names to the backend. However, so far no backend really uses the
    glyph names. This is only a preparation for future work.
  * changed the way how Image/Graphicmagick is handled by configure. Now configure tries to use pkg-config as proposed by the maintainer of the Debian version of pstoedit (Ray
    Dassen).
  * included a further patch for the Aysmptote driver.


DESCRIPTION:
============
Converts Postscript and PDF files to various editable vector
graphics formats, including xfig, ai, idraw, metapost, gnu metafile,
and others.
