Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 14:53:18 -0800 From: "L. Peter Deutsch" <ghost@aladdin.com> To: gnu@gnu.org Subject: Re: Does info-gnu@gnu.org post to gnu.announce? Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10, originally released in November 1997, has now been released with the GPL as GNU Ghostscript 5.10. It is available for downloading from ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/gnu/gs510/ and also ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu and mirrors of that site (see list below). Please DO NOT report problems with GNU Ghostscript 5.10 to Aladdin, unless we accidentally did something really stupid like omit a crucial file. To the best of our ability and subject to the constraint that there are only 24 hours in a day, problems in Ghostscript 5.10 have been fixed in Ghostscript 5.50, released in September 1998 with the Aladdin Free Public License and scheduled for re-release in September 1999 with the GPL. If you have a problem with GNU Ghostscript 5.10, we suggest you seek help on the gnu.ghostscript.bug newsgroup. -- L.
