Second Release Candidate of the second generation of cups-filters released!

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

Hi,

I have done the Second Release Candidate of the new cups-filters 
components now!

It covers the fixes of bugs reported shortly after the release of the 
first two distros (Ubuntu 23.04, Fedora 38) including cups-filters 2.x 
(2.0rc1).

Also a fix resulting from testing the fully updated CUPS Snap are 
included, and the fix for our first security vulnerability report.

But I did not yet do the final release and did a second release 
candidate first, as I have synced the libppd code with the PPD file 
support code of current CUPS. The PPD support code of CUPS got spun out 
for starting libppd three years ago and after that there happened many 
changes not being synced during all this time, and therefore there 
should be a little more time for testing.

If nothing severe happens, I will release cups-filters 2.0.0 final in a 
few weeks, so that perhaps we can celebrate it on the GUADEC …

Here we go:

There are also GitHub discussions set up for each release.
