New Ghostscript version available (9.55.0)

[MattiaCamponesco]

Hi everyone!
I was looking into this project today and I find out that there is a new available version of Ghostscript on the official website (9.55.0 - published on 2021-09-27). But it seems that now only the .exe file is downloadable.

In the readme of this project there's a link to Ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html) that is currently unavailable. The latest version of Ghoscript that we have installed on our systems downloaded from the link above is 9.53.3.
Anyway I can confirm that reading of EPS/PDF/PS file formats proceed witout errors with the older version.

Are you thinking about support the new version of the tool?

Thanks.

The ImageMagick library supports the latest version of Ghostscript. You can install and use it. They sometimes make breaking changes that will require a change in ImageMagick but that only happened once in the last 8 years. I will update the link to the correct downloads page later this week, thanks for letting me know.

Thank you so much for these clarifications.
The only problem that I noticed is that at the moment from Ghostscript website, it seems that only .exe installer of the application is available. Reading your documentation I see that in the Ghoscript folder of ImageMagick.NET are required both .exe and .dll file (as our currently working setup) but the last one doesn't appear anywhere as downloadable.

After you run the installer you will get the following files in your system:

Yes, sorry, I didn't remember how we made the last time.
I can confirm that new Ghostscipt version is working well.
Thank you.
