cups-filters 1.12.0 released!

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.12.0 now, with the following changes:

	- cups-browsed: Added new "CreateRemoteCUPSPrinterQueues"
	  directive to cups-browsed.conf, which allows to decide
	  whether to auto-create local print queues for shared CUPS
	  queues on remote machines. This way one can also set up
	  servers which only create queues for IPP network printers.
	- driverless: Added new /usr/lib/cups/driver/driverless
	  utility to make CUPS auto-generate PPD files for printers
	  designed for driverless use (IPP Everywhere, Apple Raster)
	  when they are set up with a printer setup tool. This gives
	  transparency to set up these printers with legacy printer
	  setup tools. This utility is also linked to /ustr/bin to
	  manually generate PPDs via command line.
	- libcupsfilters, cups-browsed: Moved the PPD generator for
	  IPP network printers from cups-browsed to libcupsfilters, so
	  that it can also be used by other utilities.
	- cups-browsed: When auto-generating a PPD set the cost values
	  in the filter lines to give the highest priority to PDF,
	  then PWG Raster, Apple Raster, PCL-XL, PostScript, PCL 5c/e.
	- cups-browsed: Synced the PPD generator with the one of CUPS,
	  giving the best possible support for IPP Everywhere and
	  AirPrint printers. Especially support for more media types
	  and for finishing units got added. Also support for more
	  different ways to represent the printer capabilities via
	  IPP attributes got added.
	- cups-browsed: Added support for auto setup of IPP printers
	  understanding the Apple Raster input data format (.urf, on
	  AirPrint printers), only if CUPS 2.2.2 is used, which can
	  generate this format via its rastertopwg filter.
	- cups-browsed: Added new "NewIPPPrinterQueuesShared"
	  directive to cups-browsed.conf, which allows to decide
	  whether the auto-created local print queue for a newly
	  discovered IPP network printer will be shared or not. For
	  printers discovered earlier, cups-browsed remembers the
	  previous setting.
	- cups-browsed: If a user changes the printer-is-shared bit of
	  an auto-created print queue for an IPP network printer (not
	  for a remote CUPS queue), record this fact and recover the
	  change when creating this queue in the next session.
	- cups-browsed: For automatic creation of print queues for IPP
	  network printers also allow only creating queues for IPP
	  Everywhere printers, only for Apple Raster printers, or for
	  both printer types designed for driverless printing and not
	  only for all suitable printers, configurable via the
	  CreateIPPPrinterQueues directive in cups-browsed.conf.

These changes improve the support for IPP network printers which are 
designed for driverless use, especially support for printers based on 
the Apple Raster data format (image/urf, AirPrint printers, around 2600 
models), more configuration options, sharing of auto-created queues for 
IPP network printers, support for more media types and finishing units 
in generated PPD, "driverless" command line utility to easily manually 
auto-create PPDs for driverless printing or to let CUPS generate the 
PPDs when using legacy printer setup tools.

Please do not upload this version before uploading CUPS 2.2.2. It uses 
the new Apple Raster data format support of CUPS 2.2.2 and later and to 
have Apple Raster support by itself it need to get built against CUPS 2.2.2.

So please wait for the release of CUPS 2.2.2 and upload this first. If 
it is ready, upload cups-filters 1.12.0 (or later version). Thanks.
