[Markus Steinborn]

GNU gv 3.6.6 has been released today. It is available for download in
the GNU ftp, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gv

I'd like to thank every contributor.

Please note that I have a new e-mailaddress (address@hidden), 
please switch to the new one. My old address will expire on some day in 
January 2009.


* New in this release

GNU gv 3.6.6 has some new features:

# Updated maintainer's e-mail address

# libzio is now used if available during compile time

# gv-update-userconfig now offers the options -n resp. -N to switch to an 
alternative navigation: After each page switch (except if selected by the 
page number) the page is scrolled to the top (if switching forward) resp. 
the bottom (if switching backward).

# gv-update-userconfig can remove the resources inserted by -n resp. -N 
with the new option -s.

# Support for encrypted PDF files. New command line switch 
"--password=PASSWORD" for opening encrypted PDFs. If the password is not 
supplied via command line, the user will be asked to enter it.

# Support for files > 2GB on file systems with large file support.

? Interactive prompting for the password of encrypted PDF files do not 
work if and only if DSC is turned off. As a workarouund, you can load the 
file with DSC turned on and then turn DSC off.

# the current coordinate can be saved to a file by the z resp. the u key. 
See gv.info for details.

# The return key now scrolls through the whole document vertically. Unlike 
the space key no horizontal scrolling is performed. The old function of 
the return key is still available through the "Page Down" and the "f" key.

# *.ad and *.dat files are installed to $PREFIX/share/gv

# "ERROR:" and "error:" now also trigger the info popup in error mode

# Xinerama support. It can be configured by the "xinerama"-resource. Its 
values can be "On", "Off" or "Auto". "Auto" is the default.

# New helper Script "gv-update-userconfig", which is a simple script to 
update an .gv config file to the current version of gv.

# Should build on Solaris now using sun studio 11 compiler
