cups-filters 1.0.73 released!
Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.0.73 now, with the following fixes and
new features:
- cups-browsed, implicitclass: Added load balancing
functionality. If there are several remote CUPS printers
with the same name, they for locally a cluster represented
by a print queue with this name. This printer prints through
a special backend (implicitclass) which makes cups-browsed
find the best destination remote queue (fewest jobs,
enabled) for this job.
- cups-browsed: Added protection against accidental deletion of
print queues generated by cups-browsed. These queues now get
automatically re-created.
- cups-browsed: Added LDAP support. Appropriately configured via
cups-browsed.conf remote printers made available via LDAP will be
looked up and local queues pointing to them created. Thanks to
Raphael Geissert (atomo64 at gmail dot com) for contributing this
patch (Debian bug #795185).
- cups-browsed: Introduced new handling for the default
printer using cache files. So we do not need to keep an auto-generated
queue because it is set as default printer. If the auto-generated
queue disappears, the old local printer is set as default again and
when it re-appears it returns to be the default printer.
- cups-browsed: Added infrastructure for subscribing to CUPS
notifications for things like improved default printer handling,
load balancing, ...
- foomatic-rip: Prevent crash when supplying "media" option with empty
value ("media=", Ubuntu bug #1479871).
- pdftoopvp: Adaptations to API changes on Poppler 0.34.0, note that
this patch disables color management in this filter. Thanks to
Vincent le Garrec and Andreas K. Huettel for the patch (Bug #1301,
Gentoo bug #554782).
- libcupsfilters, bannertopdf, foomatic-rip, gstoraster, pdftoijs,
sys5ippprinter, pdftoopvp, pdftops, pdftoraster, rastertoescpx,
urftopdf, texttopdf: Miscellaneous fixes for build compatibility with
different platforms, like config.h as very first include and so on.
Thanks to Richard Palo for the patch (Bug #1264).
- texttopdf: Request the generic 'monospace' font alias from fontconfig
instead of the hard-coded FreeMono. Thanks to Fabian Greffrath
(fabian at debian dot org) for the patch (Debian bug #788048).
I am very grateful if you could upload this to Debian (unstable) as soon
as possible (tomorrow, Wednesday, at the latest) so that I can sync this
into Ubuntu before Feature Freeze for Wily on Thursday.
Note that there can be new dependencies as "gdbus-codegen" is used for
the build.
Till
