Hi,
NOTE: Please wait with uploading to unstable until QPDF 7.0~b1 is
readily available there!
I have released cups-filters 1.17.7 now, with the following changes:
- braille: Add a mirror option for graphical output. Thanks to
Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Rename the internal cups name of the Resize option
to the standard well-known and well-documented fitplot
option. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Add support for margins in graphical mode,
defaulting them to 15 points (a bit more than 5mm). Thanks
to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Updated French translation. Thanks to Samuel
Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Add a PPD which generates UBRL output, i.e. Braille
expressed in Unicode. This is not useful for actual
embossers, but very convenient to check output to be
embossed without wasting paper. Thanks to Samuel Thibault
for this patch.
- braille: Add virtual BRF backend for generating
ready-to-emboss BRF files with CUPS, similarly to the
cups-pdf backend. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Some tools seem to emit true/false instead of
True/False, so let us cope with it. Thanks to Samuel
Thibault for this patch.
- braille: "make uninstall" did not remove all the
links. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Add support for embossing MusicXML files, through
the FreeDots transcriptor. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for
this patch.
- braille: Add proper support for hardware margins on braille
embossers. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Fix the disabling of the text margins in Index
graphics mode. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for this patch.
- braille: Support for direct, structured embossing of XML and
XML-based file formats (like odt, docx, ...). Thanks to
Samuel Thibault for this patch.
This release contains tons of fixes for Braille embossers.
Please release this on Debian so that I can sync it to Ubuntu.
Note that there are several new symlinks to be installed. Please apply
attached patch (which Samual supplied to me) to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging.
Thanks in advance.
