Version 9.54.0 (2021-03-30)
The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release, and also adds new functionality.
Highlights in this release include:
Overprint simulation is now available to all output devices, allowing quality previewing/proofing of PostScript and PDF jobs that rely on overprint. See the -dOverprint option documentation in: Overprint
The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output to Microsoft Word "docx" format. See: docxwrite
The pdfwrite device is now capable of using the Tesseract OCR engine when it is built into Ghostscript to improve searchability and copy and paste functionality when the input lacks the metadata for that purpose. See: UseOCR
Ghostscript/GhostPDL now includes a "map text to black" function, where text drawn by an input job (except when drawn using a Type 3 font) can be forced to draw in solid black. See: BlackText
Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition "internally". See: NupControl
Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
