+ChangeLog

+v1.16 2019/09/17
+ (2019/09/16) PS1 - portability: use AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
+ instead of individual feature test macros.
+ (2019/09/16) PS1 - automake: handle conditional sources better.
+ (2019/05/16) PS1 - normalize rotation angle
+ (2019/02/26) PS1 - portability: use binary file i/o in OS/2,
+ suggested by Dave Yeo.
+ (2018/07/27) PS1 - autoconf: renamed --enable-local-getopt as
+ --with-included-getopt.
+ (2018/07/26) PS1 - test suite: adjusted tolerances.
+ (2017/08/06) PS1 - fixed a potential arithmetic overflow. Fixes
+ bugs #23 and #24 reported by Henri Salo.
+
+v1.15 2017/08/05
+ (2017/08/05) PS1 - use round() instead of rint()
+ (2017/08/05) PS1 - portability: set both _POSIX_C_SOURCE and
+ _NETBSD_SOURCE to enable strdup prototype in string.h, as
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE=500 doesn't work on macOS, _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 doesn't
+ work on SunOS, and _POSIX_C_SOURCE alone doesn't work on Minix.
+ (2017/08/02) PS1 - fixed a potential arithmetic overflow.
+ (2017/06/17) PS1 - fixed a bug with very large bitmaps. Reported
+ by Michael Voříšek.
+ (2017/03/05) PS1 - autoconf: added --enable-local-getopt to avoid
+ using the system-wide getopt library (it may still end up being
+ used on GNU systems).

+ to be included only when needed. Reported by Daniel Macks.
+ (2017/03/05) PS1 - portability: use _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 to fix macOS
+ warning.
+ (2017/02/27) PS1 - fixed more buffer overflows (not security

+ fixes CVE-2017-12067.
+
+v1.14 2017/02/19

+ error handlers.
+ (2017/02/17) PS1 - mkbitmap: bugfixes and improvements in parsing
+ image files.

+ be "hanging" on a crafted input file.
+ (2017/02/14) PS1 - test suite: added tests for plain pnm files.
+ (2017/01/08) PS1 - fixed potential compiler issues due to signed
+ arithmetic overflow and arithmetic shifting.

+ to autoconf. Suggested by Nelson Beebe.
+
+v1.13 2015/10/22
+ (2015/07/18) PS1 - fixed heap overflows, null pointer dereference
+ bugs and a memory leak. Reported by Agostino Sarubbo.

+ based, and state more clearly that svg backend defaults to 72dpi.
+ (2015/04/11) PS1 - portability: ssize_t not supported on some

+ not scaling.
+ (2012/09/12) CH1 - added GeoJSON backend.
+ (2012/03/04) PS1 - minor change in behavior of alphamax parameter:
+ make a corner if alpha >= alphamax (instead of >). This makes

+ (2003/08/16) PS1 - added ability to read BMP files. Changed error
+ reporting in case of empty files, or if there is junk at the end
+ of a file in multipage mode.
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - as a convenience, now also read files in PGM
+ and PPM format and convert to bitmap by simple threshold method.
+ This is because many programs, including the Gimp and the *topnm
+ tools, produce PNM output which must be further converted to PBM.
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - rearranged order of options in usage message.
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - implemented -d1 option for SVG backend. This
+ outputs a jaggy bitmap with no smoothing.
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - autoconf: improved handling of
+ --enable-compress
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - added SVG backend.
+ (2003/08/14) PS1 - renamed old -s option as -S
+ (2003/08/12) PS1 - added README.win
+ (2003/08/12) PS1 - autoconf: fixed bug #787182: added non-standard
+ compile time options to help message for ./configure script
+
+v1.0 2003/08/10
+ (2003/08/10) PS1 - added file i/o code
+ (2003/08/08) PS1 - optimized number of times the penalty3 function
+ is called. Speedups of factor 2.7 were observed on large files.
+ (2003/08/08) PS1 - added --opttolerance and --alphamax options.
+ (2003/08/07) PS1 - autoconf: changed configure.in so that test for
+ compress is omitted when the user overrides it - this prevents a
+ wrong cached value to be read.
+ (2003/08/07) PS1 - keep output flushed in postscript mode
+ (2003/08/07) PS1 - fixed memory leak in multiple page mode
+ (2003/08/06) PS1 - replaced --opticurve by --longcurve option;
+ opticurve is now the default
+ (2003/08/06) PS1 - added opticurve sensitivity to pgm backend
+ (2003/08/06) PS1 - restricted opticurves to be bounded away from
+ 180 degrees
+ (2003/08/06) PS1 - allow margins and papersize to determine width
+ if it is not defined by other means in postscript mode
+ (2003/08/06) PS1 - added ability to read multiple bitmaps in
+ postscript mode
+ (2003/08/05) PS1 - new --longcoding option
+ (2003/08/05) PS1 - new optimized eps backend which works with
+ opticurve.
+ (2003/07/31) PS1 - replaced O(n^3) calc_lon algorithm by a new
+ O(n^2) algorithm. Observed speedups of factor 80.
+ (2003/07/27) PS1 - added --opticurve option and integrated
+ opticurve code in curve.c
+ (2003/06/04) PS1 - made bm_to_pathlist a lot more efficient by
+ scanning and clearing only bounding box of mask in inner scan.
+ (2002/11/17) PS1 - changed bm_to_pathlist prototype to use
+ explicit return value.
+ (2002/10/09) PS1 - autoconf: added automake/autoconf scripts in
+ preparation for public distribution.
