cups-filters 1.4.0 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.4.0 now, with the following changes:

        - foomatic-rip: SECURITY FIX: Also consider the semicolon
          (';') as an illegal shell escape character. Thanks to Adam
          Chester (adam dot chester at pentest dot co dot uk) for the
          hint (CVE-2015-8560).
        - brftoembosser, imagetobrf, imagetoubrl, imageubrltoindexv3,
          imageubrltoindexv4, textbrftoindexv3, textbrftoindexv4,
          texttobrf, braille.convs, braille.types, generic-brf.drv,
          indexv3.drv, indexv4.drv: Added support for Braille
          embossing via CUPS. Text and even images can now be sent to
          a Braille embosser like to a printer. Thanks to Samuel
          Thibault (samuel dot thibault at ens-lyon dot org) for this
          contribution.

I would appreciate if you could upload it to Debian soon so that it syncs into Ubuntu, as it is needed for further development work on Ubuntu.

Note that this time I have already done everything in the Debian GIT repository, as for the Braille embossing support there is a new dependency on liblouis and a lot of new files. I have also moved the "implicitclass" backend into the cups-browsed binary package as this backend is needed by cups-browsed (and therefore already in the level-1 printing stack).

   Till
