- Version 1.0 1993-08-05
- ----------------------------
-
- Saved media name in an array so it is available in write_profile().
- Previously, closing gsview from the system menu would cause
- write_profile() to be called twice, the second time after the
- window and menu had been destroyed. Consequently the media
- name could not be obtained from the non-existent menu.
-
- Added command line option /S[port] to spool file (File | Print File).
- This allows files dropped on the Print Manager to be sent
- direct to a PostScript printer.
-
- Changed default timeout to 5 minutes per page. This timeout
- only affects printing. Timeout for displaying was dropped
- in version 0.8 beta (when pipe code was changed).
- Timeout for opening or closing Ghostscript is still 20 seconds.
-
- Added "Safer" option to select Ghostscript -dSAFER flag which
- disables the deletefile and renamefile operators, and the
- ability to open files in any mode other than read-only.
- The default is now "Safer".
-
- Added %%EndImage before %%EndPreview of EPSI preview.
-
- Changed default file extensions so that .ps indicates an ASCII
- postscript file and .eps indicates a DOS EPS file with a
- binary header and preview.
-
- ----------------------------
- Version 0.8 beta 1993-07-07
- ----------------------------
-
- DSC file is now closed after each page is displayed.
- The file is reopened just before the next page is displayed and
- if the file length or date stamp have changed, gswin is killed
- and the file rescanned. Version 0.7 kept DSC files open which
- caused problems if another program changed the file.
-
- Documented that gsview produces TIFF 5.0 Class B images.
- Added a menu option for creating a TIFF 4.0 preview for
- Word Perfect 5.1 which requires a narrow minded interpretation
- of the TIFF 4.0 specification.
-
- Moved imitation pipe code to a separate module.
- Changed implementation of imitation pipe. Instead of creating
- many temporary files, gsview now keeps a single read/write file open.
- When gsview writes to the imitation pipe the data is written to this file.
- When the pipe is flushed gsview reads the file and passes it to gswin
- in global memory blocks. When gswin asks for data and there is no more
- to give, gsview resets the file.
-
- If a file is specified on the gsview command line do not use the
- saved directory. If a path to the file is given, use it as the
- current directory, otherwise use the gsview working directory.
-
- To stop documents that change the paper size from interfering with
- gsview's orientation commands, gsview now adds paper size commands
- (e.g. letter, a4) to the userdict to replace those in the systemdict.
-
- Generate error if user attempts to overwrite open document file.
