This is the second release in the stable 8.7x series. It features
improved handling of fonts, nesting and color fixes with
transparency objects, reduced memory footprint for the halftone cache,
as well as improvements to the pxl output devices,
and the usual number of bug and robustness fixes.

Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release.
Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and
spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF
and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and
support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents.
Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing
modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and
support for using the system's default paper size on unix.
The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from
PostScript code to C.
A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been
updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several
long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution
and paper tray selection.

changes: a number of bug fixes and improvements
Note: The default device in the gcc build is now the 'x11alpha' device
which provides antialiasing for display. To recover the old
default behaviour add '-sDEVICE=x11' to the command line.

option in ghostscript-esp, although there it was on by default.
Here it is off by default, which is more in keeping with how the "cups" option
is generally used - it is usually off by default, and a CUPS user would
usually add "cups" to the global options.

In addition to the usual bug fixes, there are specific performance and
quality improvements in the areas of patterns, shading and image
filtering. Also new in this release is an implementation of the Well
Tempered Screening algorithm in an output device, using Graeme
Gill's IMDI library for efficient color mapping.
