cups-filters 1.17.5 released!



Hi,

NOTE: Please wait with uploading to unstable until QPDF 7.0~b1 is readily available there!

I have released cups-filters 1.17.5 now, with the following changes:

	- libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator for driverless printing
	  renamed the "print-quality" option back to
	  "cupsPrintQuality" as the support for this option got fixed
	  in CUPS (CUPS issue #5090).
	- braille: Improvements on the braille support for bitmap
          images: Moves the graphical dot distance option to the image
          conversion group, add an option to avoid image resize, and
          make the rotation option easier by proposing to just fit
          paper instead of fitting portrait or landscape. Thanks to
          Samuel Thibault for this patch.
	- braille: Support for embossing vector images as braille.
	  Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
	- braille: Fix liblouis1.defs installation. Thanks to Samuel
	  Thibault for this fix.

This release is to revert the renaming of the "print-quality" option in the auto-generated PPDs for driverless printing back to "cupsPrintQuality" to be consistent with the PPD generator of CUPS. Also the support for this option is now fixed in CUPS. In addition, several issues with Braille embossing, especially for graphics got fixed.

I have already uploaded this to Ubuntu as 1.17.5-0ubuntu1 so that users can start testing. Please use this Ubuntu package to make your Debian package.

Thanks in advance.

   Till
