Changes

==================

0.8 (2025-05-28)

----------------

Bugfixes:

* Fix unnecessary runtime dependency on setuptools.

High-level API:

* Explicitly require a first argument called "progname". This is to

  avoid the common error not passing a progname by pointing users to it.

  This is fully backward compatible

* Issue a warning if first argument looks like an option.

* Fix crash if gs.new_instance() fails.

Low-level API:

* Breaking change (only effecting the low-level API):

  init_with_args() no longer catches e_Quit,

  but raises an exception like for any other error except e_Info.

* Pass correct value to gslib if user_error is set.

Improved Documentation:

* Enhance documentation

* Add some doc-strings.

* Fix some linting issues.

Misc:

* Add testing with Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.

* Revise testing, packaging and CI/CD.

* Make tests independent of fonts, thus avoiding test failures.

* Enhance examples.
