<h2><a name="Version9.22"></a>Version 9.22 (2017-10-04)</h2>

<p>This is the sixteeth full release in the stable 9.x series.

<p> Highlights in this release include:
<ul>
<li>
<p>Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite device) PDF 2.0
compliant files.
</li>
<li>
<p>The main focus of this release has been security and code cleanliness. Hence
many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and Coverity issues have been addressed.
</li>
<li>
<p>The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
</li>
</ul>
<p>For a list of open issues, or to report problems,
please visit <a href="http://bugs.ghostscript.com/">bugs.ghostscript.com</a>.

<h3><a name="9.22_Incompatible_changes"></a>Incompatible changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for this release, due to time pressures,
but we still intend to undertake the following:
We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device
procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc
takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a
very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to
anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that
you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen.
Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.
</li>
</ul>

of changes.
