New or changed in 3.60:
added option (-minlinewidth) for adjusting very thin (e.g. zero-width) lines to a minimal width.
added an option (-pslanguagelevel) for easy switching the language level to be used by GhostScript during interpretation of the PostScript/PDF file.
new driver for the "Context Free" drawing tool (http://www.contextfreeart.org/ ) contributed by Scott Pakin.
fixed the windows binary version - some drivers were missing.
fixed some problems in handling composite fonts (FontType = 0)
windows 32 bit binary can call 64 bit ghostscript as exe (i.e. not via DLL interface)
support for 64 bit windows and Office 2010

While here, remove restriction, it's "please", not "have to".

New or changed in 3.50:
* added an option (-gs) to specify the full path to GhostScript (under
Windows - either the .exe or the DLL). This can be used by portable
applications to direct pstoedit to use a specific GhostScript version.
* Stanislav Brabec contributed several improvements to the PCB driver. See
http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/pstoedit-pcb/ on how these can be useful.
* Scott Pakin submitted several improvements to the mpost driver and the
font substitution mechanism.
* new driver for .vtk files e.g. for ParaView - http://www.paraview.org/
- but this is still a very basic version. Thanks to Mitesh Patel for
initiating and testing.
* new driver for cairo (http://cairographics.org/ ) contributed by Dan
McMahill. This driver generates C-code which can be compiled and linked
against the cairo libraries. See the contrib/cairo directory for an
example.
* several improvements on the DXF driver as suggested and sponsored by
Markus Meyer.
* because pstoedit may write its output to stdout, all output written by
GhostScript to stdout is now redirected to stderr in order to avoid mixed
output.
* added a -q option to suppress the initial startup message of pstoedit.
This can by useful when being called via a pipe, e.g. from inkscape.
However, note that this does not suppress all output written to stderr -
see also note above.
* John Bowman fixed a number of problems related to clipping and image
support for the Asymptote backend.
* fixed a compilation problem with g++ V4.x.
* new driver for gcode (.ngc files) (tested with emc see
http://linuxcnc.org). Contributed by Lawrence Glaister.
* some adaptations for newer versions of libming
* fixed a line width problem for xfig format.
* corrected the broken pstoedit.m4 - thanks to Ian Abbott
* some minor code beautifying.

New or changed in 3.45:
* Some minor corrections of warnings issued by Coverity Prevent
(security related checks).
* fixed a bug in the fig backend related to dotted lines.
* added better support for pagesize handling in the driver framework.
* better handling of fonts using 0 encoded characters (thanks to
Vladimir Eltsov)
* fixed a problem which caused newer versions of GhostScript to go
into an endless loop.
New or changed in 3.44:
* hotfix for the Aysmptote driver to make it compatible with
Aysmptote version 1.00.
* removed some diagnostic messages concerning temporary file
handling.
* removed the pstoedit-config.* since this is replaced by the
pkg-config file pstoedit.pc.
New or changed in 3.43:
* some usability improvements as proposed in Debian Bug
Report #347732
[1]http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/msg/c38e1f
79d75b3152?dmode=source&hl=de
* cleaned some minor problems found by the Klocwork checker
([2]www.klocwork.com )
* replaced tempnam with mkstemp where available.
* replaced several string related functions with the secure versions
where available (Windows - VC++2005)
* switched back again to calling GhostScript as .exe instead of via
the DLL in case pstoedit is called via gsview. Reason - there can
be only one instance of GhostScript per process and gsview needs a
second instance.
* a new driver for the OpenOffice metafile format (drvsvm)
contributed by Thorsten Behrens.
* source code cleanup considering messages issued by Gimpel's
FlexeLint/PC-Lint ([3]www.gimpel.com ).
* added a "-glyphs" option. Given this option, the PostScript
frontend passes also (if possible) the glyph names to the backend.
However, so far no backend really uses the glyph names. This is
only a preparation for future work.
* changed the way how Image/Graphicmagick is handled by configure.
Now configure tries to use pkg-config as proposed by the maintainer
of the Debian version of pstoedit (Ray Dassen).
* included a further patch for the Aysmptote driver.
