cups-filters 1.11.5 released!
Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.11.5 now, with the following changes:
- cups-browsed: Fixed several typos in the documentation (Bug
#1378).
- gstoraster, mupdftoraster, pdftops, sys5ippprinter: Use
execvp() and execvpe() to call programs so that the $PATH
environment variable gets used to find the programs (Bug
#1378).
- build system: Several fixes, especially to make it work when
cross-compiling or using a build server (Bug #1378).
- cups-browsed: Silenced a warning.
- cups-browsed: For remote CUPS queues with a dot in their
name no local queue got created (Bug #1379).
- pdftopdf: Do the page logging also for IPP Everywhere
printers which use the PWG Raster data format as the
...toraster filters being the last filter then do not log.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster: Let filters generate PWG Raster if
the environment variable FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE is set to
image/pwg-raster, make sure full-page bitmaps are generated
in PWG_raster mode, and added mime conversion rules for
direct PWG Raster output.
- cups-browsed: Corrected checking of the PDLs of an IPP network
printer. Now PCL 5c/e printers (not HP inkjets) should get
recognized correctly.
- texttopdf: Added missing NULL check to avoid a segfault when
texttopdf does not find a suitable (monospace TTF) font.
- foomatic-rip: Replace old manpage macro calls from
foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20050114.
- cups-browsed: Allow changing BrowseInterval and
BrowseTimeout via cups-browsed.conf, as it was formerly with
CUPS (Debian bug #794655).
- pdftopdf: Count the actual output pages also if the
number-up option is not used, to correctly find out whether
we have an even or odd number of pages, even if the
page-ranges option is used. This is needed to correctly
decide whether for duplex printing a blank page has to be
added (Bug #1377).
Changes of the 1.11.4 release:
- gstoraster: Allow Ghostscript to use the center-of-pixel
method instead of the PostScript-standard any-part-of-pixel
method when rendering filled paths. This improves the
graphics output quality of low-resolution printers like
label printers, for example to assure readability of bar
codes (Bug #1373).
- cups-browsed: Fixes to avoid unneeded calls of
handle_cups_queues() and even infinite loops (Possible fix
for bug #1376). Also make sure that queues left over from
the previous cups-browsed session are integrated correctly.
These changes fix several issues with IPP Everywhere printers and also
other bugs.
I would appreciate if you could upload this to Debian soon so that I can
sync it into Ubuntu.
Till
