[gs-devel] Rendering separations failures when transparency in PDF (xefitra)

[Ken Sharp]

Hi Nikolai,

This mail ended up in the spam folder for me, and may well have done so for 
other engineers. The usual technique to avoid this is to add 'xefitra' to 
the subject line of any gs-devel emails. Not a guarantee but it helps.

In general the improvements in transparency rendering are applicable to all 
devices, since the work was mostly done in the transparency compositor 
device (and other areas of the interpreter).

If you are encountering problems you should raise these as bug reports at
