The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution as test 
releases:

* ghostscript-9.56.1-1
* libgs9-9.56.1-1
* libgs-devel-9.56.1-1

GNU Ghostscript is a PostScript interpreter capable of converting PS files into 
a number of printer output formats.  Ghostscript can also render PS files into a 
number of graphics file formats.

This is an update to the latest upstream release in the 9.x series [*], with 
some patches from Fedora.  See

   http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.56.1/News.htm

for a summary of the changes since the previous release.  The most interesting 
change is that the PDF Interpreter has a new implementation written in C (rather 
than PostScript).

[*] The latest upstream release is 10.0.0, but I am not uploading it yet because 
of reported problems with TeX Live.
