I am pleased to announce that GNU gv 3.6.3 has been released today. It
is available for download in the GNU ftp, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gv

Changes in this version:

# gv is now able to work with latest ghostscript: gs 8.57

# gv is now able to correctly understand DocumentMedia and other DSC
  directives that uses postscript strings. It was not possible with
  previous versions due to a bug in the postscript names scanning
  routine.

# The bug causing the version not to figure in the manual has been
  fixed.

# The SIGINT signal is now masked (ignored) by gv.

# gv no more segfaults when reading a configuration file as produced by 
  State -> Setup Options -> Save

# gv should compile in non-GNU system that doesnt have glib2. The
  `getopt' gnulib module has been imported to fix this.

# gv now correctly adjust the page index window after PAGE-UP and
  PAGE-DOWN events.

# gv is now able to open files with minus character beginning
  filenames.

# X resources related bugs has been fixed. gv is now able to get
  resources from the display database, user file, gv system database
  and command line doing the Right Thing (TM).

* Vulnerability CVE-2006-5864 has been fixed.

* gs is now invoked with `-dFIXEDMEDIA'

* The internal gettext implementation has been renamed to `ps_gettext'
  to avoid collisions with the builtin `gettext' function.

* --quiet and --noquiet now works as expected.


See the `NEWS' file in the distribution for more information.
