- CUPS Filters principal changes (Till)
- cups-browsed: Optionally generate also local queues pointing
to remote raw queues. Usually only queues pointing to remote
queues with PPD/driver are created. Users who use forwarding/
relaying backends like tea4cups asked for that.
- More flexibility for the package build, allowing build on
systems without Ghostscript, IJS, and/or Foomatic, interesting
for mobile, appliances, IoT, ...
- Quirk rule for Apple LaserWriter 12/640 (seems that someone still
makes toner for this beast).
- CUPS Filters v1.8.3 release plans (Till)
- gstoraster: Put conversion rules for this filter into a
separate file, so that they do not get installed when we
build without Ghostscript support (Bug #1346).
- Allow disabling dependencies on IJS (Bug #1345).
- pdftops: Switch to Poppler as PDF renderer also for the
Apple LaserWriter 12/640, to work around a bug in the
printer's PostScript interpreter (Bug #1344).
- CUPS Filters v1.8.2 release on 11 February 2016 (Till)
- Allow disabling dependencies on Ghostscript and Foomatic
(Bug #1342).
- cups-browsed: Optionally generate also local queues pointing
to remote raw queues. Usually only queues pointing to remote
queues with PPD/driver are created (Debian bug #814020,
Debian bug #756724).
