What's new in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.9
Jul 30, 2014
- fixed problem with the PDF invisible layers (the optional content groups which will be left unmarked if processtrailerattrs is not executed).
- fixed text rasterization problem for some pdf's, it seems that the 'pdfopen begin' did not initialize everything required to render pdf properly so we replaced it with the 'runpdfopen' method which corrects everything (problem reported by "xatabhk").
- changed GhostscriptRasterizer methods to support Stream insted of the MemoryStream.
- fixed handling files without the extension in GhostscriptViewer and Rasterizer.
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.8 (May 8, 2014)

- added better initialization checking
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.7 (Apr 30, 2014)
- implemented Ghostscript native library verification with a friendly error message that will clear out the confusion when used native Ghostscript library is not compatibile with the running process.
- fixed the pipe client handle disposal bug when the GhostscriptPipedOutput is used.
- fixed problem with the applying PDF page orientation for the GhostscriptViewer and the GhostscriptRasterizer.
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.6 (Apr 30, 2014)
- simplified GetInstalledVersions and GetLastInstalledVersion functions

- license changed to AGPL
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.5 (Mar 26, 2014)
- fixed the default cropping to the BoundingBox problem for the EPS file format in the GhostscriptViewer and GhostscriptRasterizer (reported by "midora").
- exposed GhostscriptViewer.EPSClip and GhostscriptRasterizer.EPSClip properties with a default value set to true (affects only EPS format).
- fixed problem with the paths that contains diacritics (reported by "GambitRicky")
- added GhostscriptProcessor.Started and GhostscriptProcessor.Completed events (requested by "Ray H.").
- all methods that works with MemoryStream are changed to use a generic Stream type (suggested by "midora").
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.4 (Mar 26, 2014)
- fixed problem with applying GraphicsAlphaBits and TextAlphaBits which improved antialiasing in GhostscriptViewer and GhostscriptRasterizer.
- fixed problem with output through main stderr callback handler.
- added support for MemoryStream in the GhostscriptPdfInfo.GetInkCoverage method.
- added GraphicsAlphaBits and TextAlphaBits properties in GhostscriptViewer and GhostscriptRasterizer so antialiasing can now be changed from the outside...
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.3 (Feb 6, 2014)
- added GhostscriptPdfInfo.GetInkCoverage function which has ability to return ink coverage for the CMYK inks, separately for each single page (for RGB colors, it does a silent conversion to CMYK color space internally). This function can be used to check if the pdf is grayscale or color.
- fixed problem with opening MemoryStream EPS files which contains "EPS Preview Header" (reported by "Chanan Eli")
- fixed problem with empty %%BoundingBox value when handling PostScript files (thanks to by "Shane_S")
- fixed problem with rasterizing EPS files created with Adobe Illustrator (reported by "Chanan Eli")

New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.2 (Dec 14, 2013)
- Fixed GhostscriptPipedOutput.Data property get accesor in order to prevent a race condition. (thanks to "Marc Klenotic").
- Added GhostscriptPipedOutput class as part of the Ghostscript.NET library.
- Fixed GhostscriptException error code text message resolving.
- Implemented better methods parameters checking and exception handling.
- Changed ImageMemoryHelper class from public to internal.
- Implemented opening files represented as MemoryStream from GhostscriptRasterizer and GhostscriptViewer. (that was some users request although there is no point of passing PDF as MemoryStream (or byte array) as it will anyway end up on the disk before it will be interpreted as PDF language, unlike the PostScript language, inherently requires random access to the file).
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.1 (Oct 10, 2013)
- fixed problem in GhostscriptRasterizer and GhostscriptViewer when MediaBox contains negative llx or lly values. (problem reported by "Prasenjit Das")
- added GhostscriptPngDevice, a friendly output device class with all png devices related switches. (GhostscriptPngDevice supports: png16m, pngalpha, pnggray, png256, png16, pngmono, pngmonod)
- added GhostscriptJpegDevice, a friendly output device class with all jpeg devices related switches. (GhostscriptJpegDevice supports: jpeg, jpeggray)
- extended GhostscriptProcessor.StartProcessing method to support GhostscriptDevice base class as StartProcessing parameter
- for each constructor / method that requires GhostscriptVersionInfo parameter, now there is one more constructor / method available with a same functionality but without a need to pass GhostscriptVersionInfo parameter. This new constructors and methods automatically retrieves and use last installed Ghostscript version
- added new samples to the Ghostscript.NET.Samples project (AddWatermarkSample, ProcessorSample, DeviceUsageSample)
New in Ghostscript.NET 1.1.0 (Oct 7, 2013)
- added GhostscriptViewer state handling (SaveState, RestoreState)
- GhostscriptRasterizer constructor is extended in order to support usage of the existing GhostscriptViewer instance.
- fixed problem while using a 32-bit assembly with 32-bit version of Ghostscript on 64-bit Windows: It couldn't find a registry key of installed Ghostscript. Reported and fixed by "r0land".
