New version of Ghostscript was silently released again with improved TIFF support and better rasterization of fonts.

Changes:

• uses libtiff for TIFF output now;
• does halftoned TIFF separations at 1 bit-per-pixel;
• much improved support for FreeType as a type rasterizer, still needs work though;
• the graphics library was updated for more accurate scan conversion of vector art;
• handling of transparent objects was improved;
• pxl output was improved;
• various bug and robustness fixes were made.
