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.

? There are troubles with 64 bits machines: the use of
x-pointers to
store data should be eliminated in subsequent versions.
