Changes for version 2.00

  • Numerous API changes, mostly minor, but there could be problems with backwards compatibility.
  • Changed ISOLatin1Encoding to match PostScript's The HYPHEN-MINUS (\x2D) is now /minus instead of /hyphen. Use SOFT-HYPHEN (\xAD) to get a proper hyphen. Made the same change to Win1252Encoding (cp1252).
    • Please read Hyphens and Minus Signs in PostScript::File for details.
  • Added auto_hyphen attribute with get/set methods
  • Added need_fonts attribute
  • Added as_string, embed_font, need_resource, & testable_output methods
  • add_resource accepts all DSC 3.0 resource types, but no longer accepts generic 'Resource' type
  • Reencode fonts added using embed_font or add_resource
  • Added PostScript::File::Metrics, which includes the metrics for the standard PostScript fonts. No more trying to configure Font::AFM!!!
  • PNG output has been removed. Use PostScript::Convert instead.
  • embed_document now handles & removes TIFF, WMF, or EPSI preview
  • output accepts an open filehandle as a filename alternative
  • Passing undef to output always returns the PostScript as a string
  • Minor changes in 2.00:
  • Don't reencode Symbol; it doesn't use the StandardEncoding. This is not backwards compatible, but I doubt anyone was using Symbol-iso, as it's not very useful.
  • Mapped some control characters as accents in Win1252Encoding, since the Red Book suggests they are required in langlevel 1
  • add_default, add_resource, add_setup, add_page_setup, add_page_trailer, & add_trailer now append instead of overwriting previous value
  • add_function is now a no-op if has_function returns true
  • add_resource uses BeginResource instead of deprecated comments
  • get_strip now returns 'none', 'space', or 'comments' instead of the regular expression being used
  • In eps mode, output now returns a list of pages
  • Multiple calls to output no longer cause duplicate resources
  • Passing a filename to output does not permanently set the filename
  • Fonts & resources appear in the document Setup section instead of the Prolog
  • Include a Local Variables section for Emacs in the %%Trailer describing the file's encoding
