cups-filters 1.9.0 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.9.0 now, with the following changes:

- foomatic-rip: Removed page logging via insertion of PostScript code.
  This works only with Ghostscript and PostScript input and even
  then it can break things or simply not work. We do the page logging
  for foomatic-rip in pdftopdf now, which is more universal and more
  reliable.
- sys5ippprinter: Added page logging (to /var/log/cups/page_log)
  functionality.
- pdftopdf: Added functionality for logging pages in the
  /var/log/cups/page_log file. Logging can also be forced or
  surpressed via command line (page-logging=on/off/auto) and
  page logging is also done for filters which should do but
  actually do not do: foomatic-rip, gstopxl, hpps (CUPS issue #4798,
  Ubuntu bug #1585380).
- pdftopdf: Whitespace and indentation clean-up.
- README: Removed the documentation of the old Poppler-based pdftopdf
  filter which is not included any more.
- cups-browsed: Do not schedule failed operations for later repetition
  during shutdown.
- cups-browsed: Added support for debug logging into a file (usually
  /var/log/cups/cups-browsed_log, to be activated via "-l" or
  "--logfile" option or via "DebugLogging file" option in
  cups-browsed.conf.
- cups-browesd: Consistent use of debug_printf() in the LDAP support.
- cups-browsed: Added "Requires=cups-service" to the
  cups-browsed.service file, so that systemd keeps CUPS running while
  shutting down cups-browsed on system shutdown (Ubuntu bug #1579905).
- README: Extended pdftopdf's documentation.
- README: Added documentation for the pdfAutorotate option in
  pdftopdf.
- gstoraster: Treat status output of the waitpid() function properly,
  to avoid gstoraster exiting with zero status when Ghostscript
  exited with non-zero status or got terminated by a signal
  (Bug #1354).
- README: Fixed typos. Thanks to Pranjal Bhor (bhor dot pranjal at
  gmail dot com) for the patch.
- braille: Recognize application/vnd.cups-pdf-banner MIME type and
  read standard input directly instead of using /dev/stdin.
- braille: Drop output of the "type" command when checking the
  presence of helper utilities.
- braille: Do not send EOF twice to the braille embosser.
- cups-browsed/sys5ippprinter: Fixed documentation about the allowed
  input formats for auto-created network printer queues using
  sys5ippprinter, also improved NEWS entry about renaming of
  sys5ippprinter (Debian bug #819665).

I would appreciate if you could upload this to Debian soon so that it syncs into Ubuntu.

   Till
