Karl Berry submitted an update to the

                epstopdf

package.

Version number: 2.28
License type: other-free

Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

epstopdf 2.28 changes to output PDF version 1.5 by default. Before, it
output whatever version the underlying Ghostscript or other interpreter
had as default. In Ghostscript 9,25, that changed to 1.7, which would
cause many warnings in the TeX world.

To override the PDF version, use epstopdf
--gsopt=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.7 (for example).
