cups-filters 1.6.0 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.6.0 now, with the following changes:

	- cups-browsed: Fixed use of CUPS domain socket, both
	  detection during build process and permission check at
	  runtime.
	- foomatic-rip: Fixed buffer overflow when reading environment
	  variables CUPS_FONTPATH, CUPS_DATADIR, and GS_LIB (Bug
	  #1336).
	- beh: Introduced beh, the Backend Error Handler, a wrapper
	  backend to make handling of backend errors more
	  configurable. This backend is a C re-write of the beh
	  backend written in Perl which was part of the former
	  foomatic-filters package. Several people asked for beh
	  getting moved to cups-filters.
	- braille: Make image printing working also if ImageMagick
	  generates formatted images without header.
	- braille: If the user does not select a Braille translation,
	  let the embosser do the translation.
	- cups-browsed: Added version info to help screen and start-up
	  in debug mode, call help screen also via "--version" option.
	- cups-browsed: Minor improvements in help screen and man
          page.

I would appreciate if you could upload it to Debian soon so that it syncs into Ubuntu, as it is needed for further development work on Ubuntu Mobile. This release contains an important fix for cups-browsed to work correctly in environments where CUPS runs on-demand.

   Till
