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) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
? There are troubles with 64 bits machines: the use of x-pointers to
store data should be eliminated from the sources.
? It is not possible to zoom when viewing PDF 1.4 files. PDF 1.5 files are
