It did intermittently change during the last development cycle after I
mistakenly removed "CompatibilityLevel 1.4" and recent Ghostscript
versions defaulted to 1.7. The old behavior was restored soon after to
avoid the warnings from XeTeX mentioned above. If there is an advantage
in using a newer compatibility level, it would be great if you could
open an issue on GitLab with more details.
