ghostscript-9.20

[bdubbs@…]

New minor version.

Changelog is too long to add, but I'll put here in instead:

Version 9.20 (2016-09-26)

This is the fourteenth full release in the stable 9.x series, and is purely a maintenance release.

Highlights in this release include:

    The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.

Incompatible changes

    The planned device API tidy did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.
