cups-filters 1.22.0 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.22.0 now, with the following changes:

	- pdftopdf: Use QPDF for flattening interactive PDF forms
	  (Issues #2, #23, #36, Pull request #88).
	- pdftopdf: Fixed bug of closing temporary file prematurely
	  when external PDF form flattening utilities fail (Thanks to
	  Tobias Hoffmann for finding this, see pull request #88).
	- pdftoopvp: More fixes for building with Poppler 0.72
	  (Pull request #83, Issue #75).
	- pdftoraster, pdftoijs, pdftoopvp: Removed support for
	  Poppler 0.18 (Pull request #83).
	- cups-browsed: Fixed crash in applying the BrowseFilter
	  cups-browsed.conf directives (Debian bug #916765).

From this release on the pdftopdf filter flattens interactive PDF forms and annotations internally, using QPDF, instead of calling external utilities. This especially eliminates slowing factors as additional piping of the data and unneeded use of PDF interpreters. Using external utilities for flattening is still possible in case of problems. In addition, a crash bug in cups-browsed got fixed and compatibility of the filters with Poppler 0.72 assured.

Please release this on Debian so that it syncs into Ubuntu.

Thanks in advance.

   Till
