Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.28.0 now, with the following changes:
- 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).
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.
Please release this on Debian so that it can sync into Ubuntu.
I appreciate a lot if you could put this into Debian as soon as possible
as we have Feature Freeze for Groovy on Thursday.
Thanks in advance.
Till
