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



0.8 (unreleased)

0.8 (2025-05-28)

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



- Nothing changed yet.

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.
