cups-filters 1.28.0 released!
Feature release (probably the last one before 2.0.0) which adds IPP Fax
Out support, IPPS support, and a command line option to reveal satndard
IPP URIs to the “driverless” utility, added log file size limitation and
command line options to control what happens to generated queues on
shutdown to cups-browsed, fixed several bugs when printing PostScript
input files, several bugs and memory leaks in cups-browsed, crashes on the
presence of certain fonts, and many more fixes.
driverless, driverless-fax, libcupsfilters: Added IPP Fax Out support.
Now printer setup tools list an additional fax “driver”. A fax queue is
created by selecting this driver. Jobs have to be sent with “-o
phone=12345” to supply the destination phone number (Pull request #280).
libfontembed: Silenced warning with gcc 10.x (Pull request #287).
cups-browsed: Added ./configure options –enable-saving-created-queues
and –with-remote-cups-local-queue-naming (Pull request: #253, #285).
cups-browsed: Fixed several memory leaks, mainly from the code to
merge printer IPP attributes for clusters (Pull request #281, #283).
driverless: Added “–std-ipp-uris” command line option to show listed
URIs in standard hostname-based form (not the CUPS DNS-SD-service-name-
based form. Only for manual call of the utility, for debugging purposes
(Pull request #277).
libfontembed: Removed assert() calls which cause crashes when
unsupported emoji fonts are installed (Issue #254, Pull request #276).
driverless: Added support for IPPS (use “ipps://…” URIs if possible,
Issue #251, Pull request #270, #273).
gstoraster, gstopdf: When converting PostScript to PDF use the
“pdfwrite” output device with “-dPDFSETTINGS=/default” instead of with
“-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer”. This reproduces bitmaps in the PostScript file
with their original image quality (Issue #272).
cups-browsed: Limit log file size and add backup file for previous log
entries. Introduced the configuration option DebugLogFileSize in cups-
browsed.conf to set the actual limit in kilobytes or 0 to get the old
behavior of an unlimited size for the log file (Issue #260, Pull request
#267).
gstoraster, gstopdf: Do not apply margins when output format is PDF,
as then we convert an incoming PostScript file to PDF (pre-pdftopdf) and
do not prepare the pages for the printer (post-pdftopdf, Issue #250).
cups-browsed: Do not write any log messages directly to stderr, there
were some concerning timeouts on queue creation (Issue #260).
Build system: Fix cross-compilation without DejaVu test font in
configure.ac (Issue #262, Pull request #263).
libcupsfilters: Respect the fact that PPD keywords are case-sensitive
when adding “*cupsManualCopies: True” in PPD file (Issue #242).
libcupsfilters: Older versions of libcups (< 2.3.1) had the enum name
for fold-accordion finishings mistyped. Added a workaround.
cups-browsed: Remove left-over local queues from the previous session
more quickly when CUPS legacy browsing is turned on.
cups-browsed: Left-over local queues from the previous session for
which the corresponding remote printer did not appear again did not get
removed as they were considered externally overwritten.
gstoraster, gstopdf: Add option “-dDoNumCopies” to Ghostscript command
line if we are outputting PDF (called via gstopdf wrapper) and the number
of copies supplied to CUPS is 1 (4th command line argument). In this case
we convert incoming PostScript to PDF and need to respect embedded
PostScript commands to implement the number of copies (Issue #255, CUPS
Issue #5796, OpenSUSE bug #1173345).
imagetoraster: Potential null dereference fix (when no valid PPD is
supplied, Pull request #256).
cups-browsed: Call cupsGetNamedDest() only if “OnlyUnsupportedByCUPS
No”
Sample PPDs: Corrected ColorModel default for Generic PWG Raster PPD
to Color (Pull request #247).
cups-browsed: Mark the temp queue as cups-browsed-generated during
setting printer-is-shared (Pull request #246).
cups-browsed: Remove mentions of README and AUTHORS files in the man
page (Pull request #244).
Sample PPDs: In Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd add option to switch
between color and grayscale printing (Pull request #237).
