Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for
all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers

Support for Cups is enabled by the "cups" option (on by default).

Log message:
ghostscript-agpl: update to 10.07.0.

Version 10.07.0 (2026-03-16)

Highlights in this release include:

  • The 10.07.0 release is a maintenance release:
  • This release addresses CVEs: TBC (Two applied for)
  • The wider adoption of "C99" and later features has reached the \ 
point where
    we must ease our policy on this area. The Ghostscript/GhostPDL codebase
    will remain "C89" plus widely supported extensions but, as of the \ 
10.08.0
    release, our included third party libraries will will be permitted to use
    "C99" and potentially later features.
  • The 10.07.0 removes the non-standard operator ".tempfile", and \ 
removes the
    "temp" directory from the default file permission lists. By \ 
default, such
    access is now only available internally, not from "user level" \ 
PostScript
  • Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
  • The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental
    improvements.

Log message:
ghostscript-agpl: update to 10.06.0.

Version 10.06.0 (2025-09-09)

Highlights in this release include:

    The 10.06.0 release is a maintenance release:

    This release addresses CVEs: TBC

    The 10.06.0 removes the non-standard operator "selectdevice", all \ 
code should now be using the standard "setpagedevice" operator.

    We now support production of PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-4a in addition to the \ 
existing support for PDF/X-3

    Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.

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

    (9.53.0) We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR \ 
engine. In such a build, new devices are available (pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32) \ 
which render the output file to an image, OCR that image, and output the image \ 
"wrapped" up as a PDF file, with the OCR generated text information \ 
included as "invisible" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).

    Mainly due to time constraints, we only support including Tesseract from \ 
source included in our release packages, and not linking to Tesseract/Leptonica \ 
shared libraries. Whether we add this capability will be largely dependent on \ 
community demand for the feature.

    See Enabling OCR for more details.
