遗传算法工具箱 希望高手指点 GATOOLS

	- The PDF encodings weren't loaded properly in a system with both
PS Level 2 and PDF features.  (gs_res.ps, gs_init.ps)
	- If the next line after a stream keyword was blank, the line
wasn't skipped, which matters for binary data.  (pdf_base.ps)
	- A Q operator with no matching q operator caused an error.
(pdf_draw.ps)
	- The text position wasn't preserved across a fill or stroke
operator.  (gs_pdf.ps, pdf_draw.ps)
	- Embedded Type 3 fonts didn't work.  (pdf_base.ps, pdf_draw.ps,
pdf_main.ps)
	- Masked images with no Decode value had their polarity inverted.
(pdf_draw.ps)
	- Embedded Type 1 fonts referenced from within a stream didn't
work.  (pdf_font.ps)

Changes the PDF code so that it automatically recognizes PDF files as such.
(pdf_main.ps)

Splits out the PixelDifference filters as a separate "feature".  (gs.mak)

Streams
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- Closing the primary input stream caused an invalid memory access.
(stream.c)
	- Increasing the size of a buffer within a save resulted in a
dangling reference after the restore.  (files.h, sfilter.h, zfile.c,
zfilter.c)
	- The garbage collector didn't properly trace streams that referenced
strings directly.  (stream.h, stream.c, ziodev.c)

Library
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- An extraneous \ upset some compilers.  (gdevabuf.c)
	- Uncolored Patterns that completely filled their bounding box
caused an invalid memory access.  (gspcolor.c)
	- If a color image required clipping, black or white pixels might
be rendered with incorrect (random) colors.  (gxcpath.c)
	- Reference counts for color spaces were sometimes set too high, so
they would only be freed by restore or garbage collection.  (gscolor.c)
	- The character cache could get confused if the Encoding for the
character wasn't a name.  (gschar.c)
	- Character outlines were always rendered with flatness = 0,
causing very bad performance for large characters.  (gzstate.h, gschar.c,
gsimage.c, gxfill.c, gxstroke.c)
	- If a device (presumably uninitialized) had a
color_info.num_components of zero, an invalid memory access could occur.
(gsdparam.c)
	- Intersecting clipping paths that are not both rectangular didn't
properly set the outer box of new clipping path, leading to unnecessary
computation.  (gxcpath.h, gxacpath.c, gxcpath.c)
	- A call passed false instead of NULL.  (gschar.c)
	- On machines where sizeof returns a long, genarch.c failed.
(genarch.c)
	- xfonts were consulted, incorrectly, even for stroked characters.
(gxccman.c)
	- gstate/currentgstate/setgstate didn't work properly.  (gsline.c,
gsstate.c)
	- On CMYK devices needing halftoning, colors with C = M = Y were
always converted to gray shades.  (gxcmap.c)
	- Isolated horizontal lines, or the horizontal edges of rectangles,
could get drawn with one or both end pixels missing.  (gxfill.c)

Changes the character cache back so it oversamples characters at small
sizes.  (gschar.c)

Changes all occurrences of (void)x to discard(x), and defines discard in
stdpre.h as a cast to void, to make it possible to pacify compilers that
don't accept this construct for some kinds of x.  (gpcheck.h, stdpre.h,
store.h, gdevmswn.c, gp_mswin.c, gscoord.c, gxclread.c, igc.c, sfile.c,
sfileno.c, zcie.c, zht2.c, ziodev.c, zmisc1.c)

Increases the size of the halftone cache on large-memory machines from 35K
to 100K.  This substantially improves halftoning performance at higher
resolutions.  (gxht.c)

Version 3.22(beta) (11/30/94)
==================

This is primarily a bug fix release.  It also includes limited anti-aliased
graphics capability.  This release was not distributed to the public.

Procedures
----------

Fixes bugs:
	- The definition of ghost_h was misplaced, so changes in it or its
antecedents didn't force recompilation of its dependents.  (gs.mak)

Actually implements the -Z+ switch, for forcing small stack blocks.
(interp.c)

Makes the -dSAFER switch disable the %pipe syntax for file names, even for
reading.  (gs_init.ps)

Drivers
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- The dfax drivers incorrectly set EncodedByteAlign to false.
(gdevdfax.c)
	- softwareValue and dateTimeValue were declared as byte rather than
char.  (gdevtfax.c)

Platforms
---------

Fixes bugs:
	- The VMS DEC C compilers declare delete in unixio.h, and doesn't
declare unlink anywhere.  (stdio_.h)
	- The VMS compilers declare malloc and free in stdlib.h, which
wasn't being included in malloc_.h.  (malloc_.h)
	- The SCO Unix C compiler needs both <sys/time.h> and <time.h>.
(time_.h)
	- The VMS compilers declare abs in stdlib.h, which wasn't being
included anywhere.  (gshtscr.c)
	- The definition for A4 paper in VMS-AXP.MAK was incorrect.
(vms-axp.mak)

Renames VMS-AXP.MAK as VMS-DECC.MAK, with some changes that make it
appropriate for DEC C on both VAX and AXP platforms.  (vms-axp.mak =>
vms.decc.mak)

Fonts
-----

Fixes bugs:
	- gs_kanji.ps got an invalidaccess error.  (gs_kanji.ps)

Interpreter
-----------

Fixes bugs:
	- An off-by-1 test in the roll operator caused it to smash the
stack if the operand stack had overflowed into additional blocks.
(zstack.c)
	- The default CIE color rendering dictionary didn't assume a
reasonable intermediate (XYZ) space.  (gs_lev2.ps)
	- CIE color mapping tables weren't traced properly by the garbage
collector.  (gscie.h, gscie.c, zcie.c)
	- If the very last character of a file was a ^M, the scanner
(incorrectly) signaled a syntaxerror.  (iscan.c)
	- If an operator could return both a typecheck and a
stackunderflow, it always returned a stackunderflow, which doesn't match
the behavior of Adobe interpreters.  (opcheck.h, idparam.c, interp.c,
iutil.c, z*.c)
	- astore, dictstack, and execstack could return a spurious
invalidaccess error (or fail to detect an invalid access) if the operand
stack had overflowed into additional blocks.  (istack.c)
	- The garbage collector didn't relocate pointers to names!  (Bug
introduced in 3.20.)  (iname.h)
	- If the dictionary stack overflowed into additional blocks, the
cached value pointer for a name could get set incorrectly, and also not get
relocated by the garbage collector.  (idict.c)
	- If the dictionary stack overflowed into additional blocks, the
post-GC fixup of cached value pointers in names could cause an addressing
error.  (igc.c)
	- With the -Z? switch set, the garbage collector could incorrectly
report that objects or strings weren't in any chunk.  (igc.c)
	- << /a 1 /a 2 >> /a get gave the value 2 rather than 1.
(gs_init.ps)
	- Numbers in binary object sequences and encoded number arrays
didn't work properly on machines where sizeof(short) != 2 or sizeof(long)
!= 4.  (ibnum.c)
	- The put operator for dictionaries allowed null as a key.
(idict.h, idict.c)
	- >> didn't give an error if there were an odd number of values on
the stack above the next mark.  (gs_init.ps)
	- Operations that explicitly freed ref objects (setting a CIE
colorspace, resizing a dictionary, popping a block off a stack) could
corrupt storage.  (ialloc.c)
	- The -Z@ switch, which fills freed blocks with a recognizable bit
pattern, could incorrectly overwrite freed blocks in previous save levels,
causing invalid memory accesses.  (ialloc.c)
	- Since streams freed by a restore weren't marked as free, they
could confuse the garbage collector and lead to invalid memory accesses.
(zfile.c)
	- If one of the built-in dictionaries overflowed during
initialization, no error was reported -- entries were simply discarded.
(iinit.c)
	- If the level2.dev feature was combined with certain other
features, the current languagelevel was 2 when some gs_*.ps files were
loaded, causing them to load incorrectly.  (gs_btokn.ps, gs_setpd.ps)
	- If readline read a line that ended with only a CR (no LF)
followed by an end-of-file, it incorrectly closed the stream.  (zfileio.c)

Adds a .cond operator, similar to the Lisp multi-arm conditional.
(zcontrol.c)

Adds a .makeglobaloperator operator, allowing the definition of operator
procedures in local VM that turn into global operators, provided the save
level is zero.  (iref.h, opdef.h, iinit.c, interp.c, zmisc.c)

Note: the fix for returning typecheck vs. stackunderflow requires that all
operators (or other code) that uses return_error(e_typecheck) to indicate
an incorrect object type on the operand stack must change this to
return_op_typecheck(op), where op points to the operand.  THIS IS A
NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE CHANGE.

Implements string array and name array parameters for parameter lists.
(gsparam.h, iparam.c)

Brings filterdict inside the INITIAL_DICTIONARIES conditional.  (iinit.c)

Adds a .currentscreenlevels operator that returns the number of
distinguishable halftone levels.  (zht.c)

Streams
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- The 2-D case of CCITTFaxDecode could get confused by an input
data buffer boundary that fell immediately after a horizontal code.
(scfd.c)
	- The LZW decoder didn't detect invalid data unless DEBUG was
selected at build time.  (slzwd.c)

Library
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- The clipping region accumulator could refer to a clipping
rectangle even after it had been freed.  (No effect on execution unless the
-Z@ switch was selected.)  (gxacpath.c)
	- setbbox expanded the bounding box, but didn't place a limit on
further path elements, if the current path wasn't empty.  (gsdps1.c)
	- setbbox didn't make sufficient allowance for rounding.
(gsdps1.c)

Implements the ProcessColorModel parameter (read-only) for all devices.
(gsdparam.c)

Adds a gs_currentscreenlevels procedure that returns the number of
distinguishable halftone levels.  (gsht.c)

Version 3.21(beta) (11/17/94)
==================

This is primarily a bug fix release.  It also includes a substantial
improvement in the Type 1 font hinting algorithms.  This release was not
distributed to the public.

Documentation
-------------

Fixes bugs:
	- The `man' page referred to gnu.ghostscript.bug rather than
comp.lang.postscript.  (gs.1)

Documents the special entries in operator definition tables that allow
switching dictionaries.  (opdef.h)

Procedures
----------

Moves the definition of JSRCDIR to the individual platform makefiles, to
make it easier to change on platforms that don't have file links.  (*.mak)

Utilities
---------

Fixes bugs:
	- ansi2knr didn't recognize that a line ending with } couldn't be a
function definition.  (ansi2knr.c)
	- ps2epsi always returned an empty bounding box.  (ps2epsi,
ps2epsi.bat)

Drivers
-------

Fixes bugs:
	- The bitrgb device had an invalid depth of 3.  (gdevbit.c)

Replaces the color mapping code in the X driver with a much faster
algorithm, courtesy of Tim Theisen.  (gdevx.h, gdevx.c, gdevxini.c)

Platforms
---------

Fixes bugs:
	- Two variable names were misspelled.  (gdevpm.c, gp_mswin.c)
	- It wasn't possible to compile a non-DLL configuration under OS/2.
(os2.mak)
	- Compilation under Microsoft C/C++ 8.0 gave errors.  (gp_mswin.h,
gp_mswin.c, gshtscr.c)

Adds some more devices to the OS/2 makefile.  (os2.mak)

Fonts
-----

Fixes bugs:
	- wrfont.ps, and hence bdftops, didn't write out the FontType or
PaintType.  (Bug introduced since 2.6.1)  (wrfont.ps)
	- wrfont.ps omitted a 'begin' and 'end', causing -! or -| to be
undefined when the font was loaded.  (Bug introduced since 2.6.1)
(wrfont.ps)

Interpreter
-----------

Fixes bugs:
	- make_tasv_old called make_tasv_new with extra arguments.
(store.h)
	- currentcacheparams only returned 2 values instead of 3.
(zfont.c)
	- ustroke popped one element too many off the stack if a matrix was
supplied.  (zupath.c)
	- inu[eo]fill popped one element too many off the stack.
(zupath.c)
	- The color rendering dictionary was initialized to null rather
than a valid dictionary.  (gs_lev2.ps)
	- An invalid IODevice resource named "9" got created.  (gs_res.ps)
	- bytesavailable often caused an error rather than returning -1.
(zfileio.c, stream.c)
	- The insideness testing operators always returned true if the
aperture was defined by a user path rather than a point.  (zupath.c)
	- If INITIAL_DICTIONARIES was defined in the makefile, the
definition of the initial_dictionaries array was missing a comma.
(iinit.c)
	- Even if userdict appeared in INITIAL_DICTIONARIES, gs_init.ps set
its maxlength to 200.  (gs_init.ps)
	- Setting a CIE color space left a garbage value on the stack.
(zcie.c)
	- If a file or filter was opened and then closed, opening a file
subsequently within a 'save' could lead to a memory access error in the
garbage collector.  (zfile.c)
	- Setting an Indexed or Separation color space could cause a crash
either in the garbage collector or when printing out the e-stack.
(icsmap.h, zcsindex.c, zcssepr.c)
	- Invoking a filter with an invalid data source or sink could cause
a memory access error (bug introduced in 3.20).  (zfilter.c)
	- Invoking stringwidth on a font whose BuildChar procedure did a
save could cause a memory manager error or infinite loop, because
stringwidth attempted to use an inapplicable shortcut.  (gschar.c)
	- The bounding box for rendering stroked Type 1 characters didn't
take square caps and miter joins into account.  (gs_type1.ps)
	- Invoking filter with DCTDecode or DCTEncode could cause an
addressing error if no dictionary argument was supplied.  (zfdctd.c,
zfdcte.c)
	- The Generic resource, the Font resource, and half a dozen
resources with no predefined instances all shared the same Instances
dictionary.  (gs_res.ps)
	- The temporary null device allocated for stringwidth was never
freed.  (gschar.h, gschar.c, zchar.c)
	- Internal operators, and structures that might be freed on stack
unwinding, could "escape" from the e-stack.  (zcontrol.c, ztype.c)
	- makefont and scalefont didn't properly handle a font whose
Encoding had been changed.  (bfont.h, zfont.c, zfont2.c)
	- Type 1 fonts with PaintType
