Version: 0.3.9
Severity: wishlist


The PDF v1.6 spec has been out for 2 years, but ps2pdf is still "stuck"
at v1.4.

Is this because there is nothing more to gain in the v1.5 & v1.6 specs
in a blind ps-to-pdf converter?

Given that upstream hasn't made the change in 18 years, I don't expect it will 
materialise.  Therefore, closing this bug.
