Changelog

ghostscript (9.04~dfsg-2ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/020111114-4258227-lzw-encode-filter-fix.patch: In the LZW
    encoder filter increment the code size before writing out EOD when the
    last code reaches the current limit code. Fix incorrect bytes or decoding
    errors at the end of some LZW-encoded streams. Fixes problems of
    ps2write producing PostScript output with spurious extra bytes
    (LP: #890270, upstream bug #692679).
  * debian/patches/029111114-08dc129-ps2write-truetype-fix.patch: Improved
    the TrueType composite glyph handling of the "ps2write" output device.
    This way PDF output of LibreOffice gets correctly converted to PostScript
    for PostScript printers and PostScript-based drivers (LP: #879977, upstream
    bug #879977).
