Hope it is not offtopic to copy relevant news from my web site
(www.behrmann.name):
Ghostsript, the most often used postscript / pdf interpreter in the
free software world, recently released version 8.50 under the GPL
license. This allowes distributions to update to a high quality
renderer for image processing.
Most notably the colour relyability is much improoved. Ghostscript
honours ICC profiles and allowes PDF/X-3 processing.
Weak points are the spot colour handling, which nevertheless is better
than in version 8.15, and the antialising, which becomes evident on
screen displaying. As well it is to been expected that some bugs in PDF
handling remains, which are allready fixed in higher versions.
As usual some utilisation needs to be done before actual using the new
version in desktop systems.
