## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

libgxps is a GNOME C library and toolset for reading, rendering, and converting XPS and OpenXPS documents. It fills a practical desktop gap: support for Microsoft's XML Paper Specification in GTK/GNOME document workflows without treating XPS as a first-class platform format.

### Projektgeschichte

The GNOME wiki describes libgxps as a GObject-based library for handling and rendering XPS documents, built on GLib, GObject, GIO, cairo, libarchive, and FreeType, with optional image and color-management libraries. The same page frames XPS/OpenXPS as an XML-based electronic-paper format originally developed by Microsoft and later standardized as an open document format.

The NEWS file records libgxps 0.1.0 on October 12, 2011 as the first public release. Version 0.2.0 followed on November 19, 2011 with API changes and documentation work, while version 0.3.0 on August 8, 2017 added OpenXPS fixed-representation schema support and switched the build system to Meson.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

libgxps was adopted as a distribution library because document viewers and converters need occasional XPS support even on systems where XPS is not a native document culture. The GNOME wiki listed Evince as a project using libgxps and linked to packages for Arch, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu; the batch input also shows Homebrew, Nix, pacman, and openSUSE package coverage.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The library is used by applications that need to inspect or render XPS documents. Its command-line tools, including xpstopdf, xpstopng, xpstojpeg, xpstops, and xpstosvg, make it useful in scripts that convert XPS files into more common Unix document and image formats.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

libgxps is a format-bridge package: small enough to be invisible most days, but important when a user receives an XPS file and expects the desktop stack to do something sensible. It also shows the GNOME pattern of wrapping document parsing, cairo rendering, and conversion utilities around a specific file format.

### Zeitleiste

- 2011-10-12: libgxps 0.1.0 was the first public release.
- 2011-11-19: libgxps 0.2.0 added API and documentation changes.
- 2017-08-08: libgxps 0.3.0 added OpenXPS fixed-representation schema support and switched to Meson.
- 2021-02-16: libgxps 0.3.2 added Windows WIC support for WDP images and conversion crash fixes.

### Related projects
