I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new GNU Ghostscript
release: gnu-ghostscript-8.16.
This release is an adaptation of GPL Ghostscript version 8.15, with
changes to make it compliant with GNU standards and policies. It is
available from the GNU Ghostscript project page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/
This release includes many bug fixes over GNU Ghostscript 8.01, improved
font rendering, and offers significantly better PDF generation and
handling.
Help wanted: We need to add an interface for Emacs to talk to so it can
efficiently use one Ghostscript process to display a series of images,
and output them into pixmaps specified by Emacs. If you can work on
coding this feature, please write didier.link@wanadoo.fr.
Enjoy !
Didier

Subject: GNU Libtool 1.5.18 released. (fwd)
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
1.5.18.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,
which hides the comlexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries
(modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.
This release mainly fixes a libltdl regression in 1.5.16, plus a
small list of other bugs.
New in 1.5.18: 2005-05-16
* Fix regression in 1.5.16 to not install libtldl data files from
`libtoolize --ltdl'ed software packages.
libtool-1.5.18 is available now from ftp.gnu.org, along with diffs
and xdeltas against libtool-1.5.16 that are also available from
ftp.gnu.org. Please use a mirror to reduce stress on the main gnu
machine:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz
Here are the xdeltas and diffs against libtool-1.5.16:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.xdelta
Here are the gpg detached signatures:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.diff.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.xdelta.sig
You should download the signature named after any tarball you download,
and then verify its integrity with, for example:
gpg --verify libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz.sig
Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:
3c6630a02bf0858c365ee32e0599255e libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz
d478f462b3f848e3e1d81bff0bfed3c4 libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.diff.gz
d2f34a4555c9b76bbb1a866a0c0927ba libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.xdelta
9eae4a25cf386f2dd3937f215368c9cc090009df libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz
4dd50894e7b57b76b64511c3b68e214cd17492df libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.diff.gz
039465e18d4b65318b543aa21c29f50dc831b7ea libtool-1.5.16-1.5.18.xdelta
This release was bootstrapped with Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.9.5,
but is useable with Autoconf 2.50 & later and Automake 1.4 & later in
your own projects.
Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from
anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when
you are prompted for the password):
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool \
co -r release-1-5-18 libtool
You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake
(1.9.5) and Autoconf (2.59) installed to bootstrap the checked out
sources yourself.
Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>, along with the verbose
output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool --help.'
