Changes
==================
0.8.1 (2025-05-28)
------------------
Bugfixes:
* Fix crash on Windows for Python >= 3.12, caused by
distutils module been removed from Python 3.12.
0.8 (2025-05-28)
----------------
Bugfixes:
* Fix unnecessary runtime dependency on setuptools.
High-level API:
* Explicitly require a first argument called "progname". This is to
avoid the common error not passing a progname by pointing users to it.
This is fully backward compatible
* Issue a warning if first argument looks like an option.
* Fix crash if gs.new_instance() fails.
Low-level API:
* Breaking change (only effecting the low-level API):
init_with_args() no longer catches e_Quit,
but raises an exception like for any other error except e_Info.
* Pass correct value to gslib if user_error is set.
Improved Documentation:
* Enhance documentation
* Add some doc-strings.
* Fix some linting issues.
Misc:
* Add testing with Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.
* Revise testing, packaging and CI/CD.
* Make tests independent of fonts, thus avoiding test failures.
* Enhance examples.
0.7 (2021-03-06)
----------------
* BREAKING: ``Ghostscript()`` no longer allows passing arbitrary
keyword arguments.
* The high-level interface now allows passing unicode strings as
arguments. Passing bytes as arguments is still possible, but now
deprecated.
* The high-level interface now requires ghostscript >= 9.0.8 (released
2013-08-14).
* Allow multiple Ghostscript instances. Actually using this requires
the library is compiled with -DGS_THREADSAFE.
* Ensure proper clean-up on error.
* High-level revision() now returns unicode strings instead of byte
strings.
* Add low-level interface for set_arg_encoding().
* Miscellaneous small fixes.
* Drop support for Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
Minimum required Python version is now 3.6.
0.6 (2018-01-16)
----------------
* Add support for Python 3.x (tested with Python 3.4).
Minimum required Python version is now 2.7.
* Add support for display callback and an example program
using it. Thanks to Lasse Fister.
* Add context-interface (for the ``with``-statement).
* ``GhostscriptError`` now has an attribute ``code`` holding
the numeric error-code.
* ``Ghostscript()`` now accepts keyword-arguments ``stdin``,
``stdout``, ``stderr`` for setting the respective stream. This was
already implementd in version 0.4.1, but not documented.
* Add unittest suite (using pytest).
* Several bug fixes and smaller changes.
* Switch version control to git and move project to gitlab. See
Readme-file for the new URL.
* Set up continuous integration tests.
0.5 (skipped)
-------------
* v0.5 was skipped to avoid version conflicts with fork
`python3-ghostscript`. All changes of that fork are integrated
into v0.6.
0.4.1 (2011-02-09)
------------------
* Fixed import module on Windows XP. Thanks to Akihiro Takizawa for
the patch.
0.4 (2011-01-29)
----------------
* Fixed typo in function call name ctypes.util.find_library
* (Unix) No longer try to load a specific version (version 8) of
libgs.so
* Added low-level interface for set_stdio() plus wrappers for
file handles
* (win32) Improved search for best Ghostscript installation:
Consider Aladdin and GNU Ghostscript, too; Check for existence of
DLL found in registry; take highest version available.
* Added win32 example-batch file for testing and other
improvements/fixes on examples an documentation.
0.3 (2010-08-12)
----------------
* Added support for win32: The DLL to load is searched in registry.
* On other platforms: Be more inteligent about finding Ghostscript
shared object file (fall back to ctypes.util.find_library() if
`libgs.8.so` can not be loaded
* Better error messages if lib/dll is not found.
* Removed relative imports, so older versions of Python can be used.
* Added nice project logo
0.2 (2010-08-06)
----------------
* Fixed several bugs, esp. for running strings by Ghostscript.
0.1 (2010-08-06)
----------------
* This is the first public release of the Python Ghostscript C-API
interface.
