  log: "ghostscript-agpl: Update to 9.53.2\n\nChangelog:\nVersion 9.53.2 (2020-09-25)\n\nHighlights
    in this release include:\n\n    The 9.53.2 release is primarily maintenance.\n\n
    \   Three issues arose with 9.53.0/1 that prompted the release of\n    a .2 patch:\n\n\tA
    crash (or silent, erroneous exit) on 64 bit Windows and\n\tother LLP64 type environments.\n\n\tA
    parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostcript to\n\terror out during initialisation,
    which affected 64 big,\n\tbig endian architectures.\n\n\tAn expected side effect
    of another change that prevented\n\tmultithreaded rendering and background rendering
    from\n\tworking correctly.\n\n    Details of those can be found in the changelog.\n\n
    \   The most obvious change is the (re-)introduction of the patch\n    level to
    the version number, this helps facilitate a revised\n    policy on handling security
    related issues.\n\n    To clarify: in the event we decide to release a patch revision,\n
    \   it will replace the release with the previous patch number.\n    Release notes,
    highlights and warnings will remain the same,\n    except for the addition of
    whatever fix(es) prompted the patch.\n\n    Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability
    continue.\n\n    We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR\n
    \   engine. In such a build, new devices are available\n    (pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32)
    which render the output file to an\n    image, OCR that image, and output the
    image \"wrapped\" up as a\n    PDF file, with the OCR generated text information
    included as\n    \"invisible\" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).\n\n
    \   Due to some patches to the Tesseract sources that are required\n    (integrated
    upstream, but awaiting release), time constraints,\n    and the experimental nature
    of the feature, we only support\n    including Tesseract from source, not linking
    to Tesseract shared\n    libraries. Whether we add this capability will be largely\n
    \   dependant on community demand for the feature.\n\n    See Enabling OCR for
    more details.\n\n    We have added Python bindings for the gsapi interface, can
    be\n    found in demos/python. These are experimental, and we welcome\n    feedback
    from interested developers.\n\n    For those integrating Ghostscript/GhostPDL
    via the gsapi\n    interface, we have added new capabilities to that, specifically\n
    \   in terms of setting and interrogating device parameters. These,\n    along
    with the existing interface calls, are documented in:\n    Ghostscript Interpreter
    API\n\n    IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of (OpenPrinting)\n
    \   it is our intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future,\n    remove
    the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers (that\n    is, the opvp and oprp
    devices).\n\n    If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch\n
    \   with us, so we can discuss your use case, and revise our plans\n    accordingly.\n\n
    \   IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt (the\n    \"mt\" indicating
    \"multi-thread\"). LCMS2 is not thread safe and\n    cannot be made thread safe
    without breaking the ABI. Our fork\n    will be thread safe and include performance
    enhancements (these\n    changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream).
    We\n    will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for\n    a time,
    but not in perpetuity. If there is sufficient interest,\n    our fork will be
    available as its own package separately from\n    Ghostscript (and MuPDF).\n\n
    \   The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and\n    incremental
    improvements.\n"
