cups-filters 1.28.12 released!
Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.28.12 now, with the following changes:
- imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed comparison of the image
size with the page size for print-scaling=auto. The image
size in pixels was compared with the page size in PostScript
points (1/72 inch).
- imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed the "print-scaling=none"
(crop-to-fit) mode, also use crop-to-fit always when
requested, do not fall back to fit-to-page when the image
size differs significantly from the page size (Issue #362).
- libcupsfilters: Changed the default PPI resolution for
images as input files from 128 to 200 (Pull request #446).
- implicitclass: Do not check availability of "gs" and
"pdftops" executables, instead, check by the presence of
"gstoraster" and "pdftoraster" filters whether we have
configured cups-filters for Ghostscript and/or Poppler use.
- libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator for the driverless
utility and cups-browsed add "*cupsFilter2: ..." lines for
all supported driverless data formats (PDF, Apple/PWG
Raster, PCLm), and add lines for legacy data formats (PCL,
PostScript) only if no driverless formats available.
- libcupsfilters: Always use encryption for ipps. RFC7472
requires that 'ipps' must be used over HTTPS, but the
driverless utility does not enforce encryption (Pull request
#433).
- serial: Add a 10-msec sleep and at the end add a tcdrain().
For some unknown reason, every printing file need sleep a
little time to make sure the serial printer receive data is
right (Pull request #431).
- libcupsfilters: Fix resolver functions for DNS-SD-based
URIs, to make resolve_uri() also work when DEVICE_URI env
variable is set and to make ippfind_based_uri_converter()
not re-direct stdin.
- pdftopdf: Set default for print-scaling to avoid "should
never happem" log messages and undefined behavior.
- pdftopdf: Fix orientation-requested = 0. Consider
this as "automatic selection and not as error.
- pdftopdf: Fixed all combinations of print-scaling and
number-up for printers with asymmetric margins (top !=
bottom or left != right) and for input files containing
pages with different sizes and/or orientations. Fixes
backported from 2.x branch.
- pdftopdf: Add 2% tolerance for input size larger than output
page when "print-scaling=auto" or "print-scaling=auto-fit"
is used and too large input pages should be scaled, fitting
documents not. This prevents a random-looking behavior if
input and output page size seem to be equal, but in reality
there are slight differences between size dimensions.
Bug fix release, containing backports of many of the bugs recently fixed
during the preparation of the cups-filters 2.x release. This time many
page geometry bugs in the pdftopdf and imageto… filters were fixed
especially with print-scaling and number-up, but also bugs in
cups-browsed and in the serial backend got fixed.
Please release this on Debian so that it can sync into Ubuntu,
preferably before Feature Freeze for Ubuntu 22.04 on Thu, Feb 22.04.
Thanks in advance.
Till
