cups-filters 1.13.2 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.13.2 now, with the following changes:

	- cupsfilters.drv: Corrected cupsFilter entry for the "Generic
	  IPP Everywhere Printer".
	- driverless: Fixes on the man page (Debian bug #849075).
	- driverless: Do not error-exit (non-zero status) when run by
	  CUPS as backend or PPD generator when no driverless printer
	  is found or Avahi not running. When run from thr command
	  line, exit status is the same as of ippfind.
	- imagetoraster: Removed (incomplete) PWG Raster support. For
	  PWG Raster output we let the rastertopwg filter from CUPS do
	  the finalization (mainly adding white pixels at the borders
	  to get a full-page bitmap).
	- imagetoraster: Fixed several bugs in the calculation of the
          page geometry (Debian bug #849380).
	- libcupsfilters: If the IPP-polled printer has the
	  "sides-supported" attribute, determine the need of a
	  "Duplex" option solely whether the attribute has a
	  "two-sided-long-edge" choice and ignore the "duplex"
	  parameter of the ppdCreateFromIPP() function call. This lets
	  the more precise information coming from the IPP query
	  always be preferred against information from the Bonjour
	  record.
	- driverless: When listing printers let the device ID contain
	  "AppleRaster" (for Apple Raster printers) and "PWGRaster"
	  (for IPP Everywhere printers) in the "CMD" field.
	- driverless: Added "-T 3" to the ippfind command line. This
	  makes ippfind search the Bonjour broadcasts for up to 3
	  seconds when searching for IPP printers, raising the
	  reliability in finding all of them (Debian bug #848712).

This fixes important bugs in 1.13.1.

Let this again build-depend on your experimental version of CUPS, as otherwise cups-filters builds without Apple Raster support.

Also let the cups-filters-core-drivers binary package have a "Depends: cups-ipp-utils" as the new "driverless" utility needs "ippfind" of "cups-ipp-utils".

Thanks in advance.

   Till
