Changelog for cups-filters-1.28.17-kf.144.59.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Feb 02 2024 Johannes Meixner - Removed outdated and obsoleted \"Requires: cups > 1.5.4\" which was used to require a sufficient CUPS version at times when also CUPS <= 1.5.4 was available but it was not meant to require CUPS (boo#1216560)
* Wed Jan 24 2024 Johannes Meixner - Version upgrade to 1.28.17 See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/releases Bug fix release, to more reliably discover all printer capablities from driverless printers, especially borderless printing, and to preferably use Apple Raster instead of PWG Raster or PCLM.
* libcupsfilters: In PPD generator create only one
*cupsFilter2: line for raster. Only use the most desirable/reliable format, usually Apple Raster (Issue #498).
* libcupsfilters: In get_printer_attributes() poll media-col-database separately if needed. On some printers one gets media-col-database only this way. Often it reveals important functionality, like for example borderless printing (Issue #492).
* libcupsfilters: Let PPD generator also parse media-col-ready IPP attribute. media-col-ready lists the loaded media, in contrary to media-ready, as list of complete descriptions of the media (media-col data structure). This often lists also variants like borderless (it is the same physical paper). Especially useful when media-col-database is not available (Issue #492).
* libcupsfilters: In generate_sizes() consider all margin alternatives. When generating the PPD file for a driverless printer, and in the media-{left,right,top,bottom}-margin-supported printer IPP attributes there was more than 1 value, the first value (which often was the 0 for borderless printing) was not considered, leaving the borderless functionality of many printers undiscovered (Issue #492). Issues are those at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues- Version upgrade to 1.28.16 See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/releases Bug fix release, to make images be printed in their original size with \"print-scaling=none\" and to not use deprecated data types for reading TIFF images.
* imagetoraster, imagetopdf, libcupsfilters: Added support for reading the resolution of an image from its EXIF data when loading it. This way we get the image reproduced in its original size with \"print-scaling=none\" (Issue #362).
* libcupsfilters: Replaced deprecated data types uint16 and uint32. The function to read TIFF image files via libtiff in cupsfilters/image-tiff.c uses the deprecated types uint16 and uint32. The replacements for these types are uint16_t and uint32_t. Issues are those at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues
* Wed May 17 2023 Johannes Meixner - cups-filters-1.28.15-0001-beh-backend-Use-execv-instead-of-system-CVE-2023-24805.patch cups-filters-1.28.15-0002-beh-backend-Extra-checks-against-odd-forged-input-CVE-2023-24805.patch cups-filters-1.28.15-0003-beh-backend-Further-improvements-CVE-2023-24805.patch are the upstream 0001-beh-backend-Use-execv-instead-of-system-CVE-2023-24805.patch 0002-beh-backend-Extra-checks-against-odd-forged-input-CVE-2023-24805.patch 0003-beh-backend-Further-improvements-CVE-2023-24805.patch backported to cups-filters-1.28.15 to fix CVE-2023-24805: RCE in cups-filters, beh CUPS backend (bsc#1211340) and https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/commit/8f274035756c04efeb77eb654e9d4c4447287d65
* Wed Mar 01 2023 Adam Majer - require_cxx17.patch: qpdf dependency is using std::string_view which is a c++17 feature... so we can\'t use c++11... Maybe it made sense to force c++11 at some point when it was not default, but with new compilers, we are actually downgrading features sets.- removed spec configure references to filter (ijs, opvp) that were removed in version 1.25
* Fri Jun 24 2022 Martin Wilck - Spec file: Removed URL from source line
* Thu Jun 09 2022 mwilckAATTsuse.com- Update to version 1.28.15:
* pdftops: Identify old LaserJets more precisely for swicth to Poppler
* Make pdftopdf also work correctly with auro-rotating off
* libcupsfilters: Make pdftopdf() correctly working with \"landscape\" option
* rastertopdf: Filter fails if no PCLm default resolution given by printer
* pdftopdf: Fix N-up printing with long-edge-first
* libcupsfilters: In pdftopdf() fix cropping with long-edge-first
* pdftops: Use Poppler for all Apple LaserWriter models
* Thu Jun 09 2022 mwilckAATTsuse.com- Enable OBS source services. Stay at 1.28.12 for now.
* add _service file
* Tue Mar 22 2022 Aurélien Joga - Version upgrade to 1.28.12
* imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed comparison of the image size with the page size for print-scaling=auto. The image size in pixels was compared with the page size in PostScript points (1/72 inch).
* imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed the \"print-scaling=none\" (crop-to-fit) mode, also use crop-to-fit always when requested, do not fall back to fit-to-page when the image size differs significantly from the page size (Issue #362).
* libcupsfilters: Changed the default PPI resolution for images as input files from 128 to 200 (Pull request #446).
* implicitclass: Do not check availability of \"gs\" and \"pdftops\" executables, instead, check by the presence of \"gstoraster\" and \"pdftoraster\" filters whether we have configured cups-filters for Ghostscript and/or Poppler use.
* libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator for the driverless utility and cups-browsed add \"
*cupsFilter2: ...\" lines for all supported driverless data formats (PDF, Apple/PWG Raster, PCLm), and add lines for legacy data formats (PCL, PostScript) only if no driverless formats available.
* libcupsfilters: Always use encryption for ipps. RFC7472 requires that \'ipps\' must be used over HTTPS, but the driverless utility does not enforce encryption (Pull request #433).
* serial: Add a 10-msec sleep and at the end add a tcdrain(). For some unknown reason, every printing file need sleep a little time to make sure the serial printer receive data is right (Pull request #431).
* libcupsfilters: Fix resolver functions for DNS-SD-based URIs, to make resolve_uri() also work when DEVICE_URI env variable is set and to make ippfind_based_uri_converter() not re-direct stdin.
* pdftopdf: Set default for print-scaling to avoid \"should never happem\" log messages and undefined behavior.
* pdftopdf: Fix orientation-requested = 0. Consider this as automatic selection and not as error.
* pdftopdf: Fixed all combinations of print-scaling and number-up for printers with asymmetric margins (top != bottom or left != right) and for input files containing pages with different sizes and/or orientations. Fixes backported from 2.x branch.
* pdftopdf: Add 2% tolerance for input size larger than output page when \"print-scaling=auto\" or \"print-scaling=auto-fit\" is used and too large input pages should be scaled, fitting documents not. This prevents a random-looking behavior if input and output page size seem to be equal, but in reality there are slight differences between size dimensions.- Version upgrade to 1.28.11
* libcupsfilters: Let PPD generator take default ColorModel from printer (CUPS issue #277).
* Braille: In vectortopdf check inkscape version to call inkscape with the correct command line (Issue #315, Pull request #443).
* Build system: Make missing DejaVuSans.ttf non-fatal in ./configure as the font is only needed for test programs, not for actual use of cups-filters (Issue #411).
* libcupsfilters: In imagetoraster() fixed crash with SGray (Issue #435).
* cups-browsed: Naming of local queues is matched to CUPS\' current naming of temporary queues (no leading or trailing underscores), to avoid duplicates in print dialogs which support CUPS\' temporary queues.
* libcupsfilters: Make cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() work correctly with PPDs (Issue #436).
* libcupsfilters: Let colord_get_profile_for_device_id() not return empty file name, to avoid error messages in CUPS error_log.
* foomatic-rip: Debug message was wrongly sent to stdout and not to log (Issue #422).- Version upgrade to 1.28.10
* Sample PPDs: Add borderless page size definitions to Generic PDF Printer, HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP PDF, and Ricoh PDF Printer PPD files.
* Sample PPDs: From the PDF PPD files removed the unneeded \"
*cupsFilters2: ...\" line. For CUPS it does not make any difference.
* libcupsfilters: Fixed pdftopdf filter to correctly support page ranges without upper limit, like \"10-\" (Pull request #399).
* libcupsfilters: Use wildcard tag (IPP_TAG_ZERO) search for \"media-type\" and \"media-type-supported\" in the PPD generator (Pull request #398).
* implicitclass, parallel: Added missing newlines at error messages.
* libfontembed: Removed unneeded fontembed/main.c and ttfread executable. Eliminates the dependency on DejaVuSans.ttf (Issue #386).
* gstoraster: Refactor the filter a little to clarify handling of page counts and set job-impressions for TotalPageCount in PWG-Raster header (Pull request #394).
* cups-browsed: Make NotifLeaseDuration configurable and renew after half the lease duration not 60 sec before end. The early renewal improves reliability on busy systems a lot. For easier development and debugging short durations from 300 sec on can get selected (Pull request #378).- Version upgrade to 1.28.9
* libcupsfilters: Silenced compiler warnings
* libcupsfilters: Removed duplicate code in the apply_filters() function.
* driverless: If there are no driverless IPP printers available let \"driverless\" terminate with exit code 0 and not 1, to follow CUPS\' standard of backends in discovery mode terminating with 0 if there are no appropriate printers found (Issue #375).
* gstoraster, foomatic-rip: Fixed Ghostscript command line for counting pages as it took too long on PDFs from evince when printing DjVu files (Issue #354, Pull request #371, Ubuntu bug #1920730).
* cups-browsed: Renamed ldap_connect() due to conflict in new openldap (Issue #367, Pull request #370).
* pdftoraster: Free color data after processing of each page (Pull request #363).
* cups-browsed: Always save \"...-default\" option entries from printers.conf, regardless of presence or absense of PPD file (Pull request #359).
* cups-browsed: Start after network-online.target (Pull request #360).
* texttopdf: Set default margins when no PPD file is used (Pull request #356).- harden_cups-browsed.service.patch adapted to cups-filters-1.28.12
* Fri Oct 15 2021 Johannes Segitz - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400), see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Security_Features#Systemd_hardening_effort Added patch harden_cups-browsed.service.patch
* Tue Jun 08 2021 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- The cups-brf backend needs to run as root see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1657261 (bsc#1186844)
* Tue May 25 2021 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.28.8
* libcupsfilters: Made check whether the driverless PPD to generate should be a fax out PPD more reliable (Issue #343).
* foomatic-rip: Options in the 5th command line argument of the CUPS filter command line are separated only by white space and not by comma, also make sure that an option \"none\" is not considered a custom page size (Issue #348).
* implicitclass: Raise timeout for cups-browsed\'s answer from 20s to 60s (Pull request #346).
* libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator really give priority to Apple Raster against PDF (Issue #331).- Version upgrade to 1.28.7
* driverless: Removed the support quality check from Pull request #235 as it takes significant time for each printer being listed, making cups-driverd (`lpinfo -m`) timing out when there are many printers (OpenPrinting CUPS issue #65).
* libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator give priority to Apple Raster against PDF (Issue #331).
* libcupsfilters: Added NULL check when removing \".Borderless\" suffixes from page size names (Issue #314, Pull request #328).
* libcupsfilters: In the cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() map the color spaces the same way as in the PPD generator (Issue #326, Pull request #327).
* libcupsfilters: Fixed addition of grayscale mode in generated PPD files, to avoid duplicate entries (OpenPrinting CUPS issue #59).- Version upgrade to 1.28.6
* libcupsfilters: In generated PPDs add a grayscale mode if there are only color printing modes (from OpenPrinting CUPS).
* libcupsfilters: In generated PPDs add an \"OutputBin\" option also if it has only one choice (OpenPrinting CUPS pull request #18).
* libcupsfilters: Generated PPDs could have an \"Unknown\" default InputSlot (OpenPrinting CUPS issue #44).
* cups-browsed: Removed unneeded IPP attribute additions preventing the created local queues from preserving a location or description the user assigns to them (Issue #323).
* cups-browsed: Removed all calls of the resolve_uri() function of libcupsfilters, as these are not actually needed and in case the supplied DNS-SD-based URI is not resolvable, the function gets stuck for ~5 seconds.
* cups-browsed: Fixed several memory leaks, mainly from the code to merge printer IPP attributes for clusters (Pull request #322).
* cups-browsed: Silenced compiler warning.
* foomatic-rip: Fix infinite loop and input from file on raw printing (Pull request #318).
* foomatic-rip: Remove temporary file created during pdf-to-ps conversion (Pull request #313).- Version upgrade to 1.28.5
* cups-browsed: UUID from IPP response was used after its pointer was freed by ippDelete() (Pull request #311).- Version upgrade to 1.28.4
* driverless: Avoid duplicate PPD list entries from the same device via UUID
* driverless: Reduce ippfind calls by \"driverless\" and \"driverless-fax\"called by CUPS. Let \"driverless list\" list both print and fax PPDs and \"driverless-fax list\" do nothing.
* driverless: Avoid duplicate listings in printer discovery, by \"driverless-fax\" not listing any URI as \"driverless\" lists them all already.
* driverless: Vastly improve performance by doing only one ippfind call instead of two (IPP, IPPS) as ippfind accepts more than one reg type on the command line.
* Sample PPDs: Corrected manufacturer name in Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_CM305_df-PDF.ppd.- Version upgrade to 1.28.3
* libcupsfilters, cups-browsed: Fixed inconsistency between resolvers for DNS-SD-based URIs, resolve_uri() and ippfind_based_uri_converter(). Now both return a freeable string.
* libcupsfilters: Fix uninitialized buffer and parsing ippfind output in ippfind_based_uri_converter() function (Issue #308, Pull request #309).- Version upgrade to 1.28.2
* driverless: Free allocated memory, use MAX_OUTPUT_LEN (Pull request #304).
* driverless: Make the two ippfind tasks(for IPP and IPPS) run in parallel (Pull request #302, #305, #306).
* braille: Support new liblouis tables not containing a display name (Pull request #303)
* Build system: Let ./configure not error out when there is more than one DejaVuSans.ttf test font candidate (Issue #300).
* cups-browsed: Crash when a remote printer set as default gets removed, due to missing variable in printf() call (Issue #299).
* libcupsfilters: Removed all signal handling and global variables from get_printer_attributes() and ippfind_based_uri_converter(). This is overkill for these quick operations and causes problems when shutting down cups-browsed (Issue #298).- Version upgrade to 1.28.1
* COPYING: Fixed several typos
* libcupsfilters: Fixed typo in log message of get_printer_attributes functions.
* cups-browsed: Fixed typos in configuration file and man page
* libcupsfilters: Let the PPD generator not suffix page size names with \".Borderless\" if all page sizes would get this suffix, for example for printers which generally print borderless.
* libcupsfilters: Added \"faxPrefix\" option for generated IPP Fax Out PPDs, so that this option also appears in print dialogs.
* driverless: List addresses for local services correctly when using \"--std-ipp-uris\" (with \"localhost\" hostname).
* driverless: Make calls of the ippfind utility somewhat faster, setting the timeout of ippfind to automatic.
* libcupsfilters: Resolve DNS-SD-based URIs for local services correctly (using hostname \"localhost\").
* libcupsfilters: In get_printer_attributes() functions do not try to convert URIs which are not DNS-SD-based (Issue #294).
* libcupsfilters: In get_printer_attributes() functions also support URIs with \"dnssd://...\" scheme.
* libcupsfilters: Moved signal handling back into main function of the get_printer_attributes() variants, it got moved out accidentally.
* driverless: For generating a PPD, independent whether via \"driverless URI\" or \"driverless cat URI\", always allow CUPS driver URIs (prefixed with \"driverless: \" or \"driverless-fax:\") and pure IPP URIs.
* driverless: Accept clean IPP URIs also for \'driverless cat ...\' (Issue #295, Pull request #296).
* driverless-fax: Do not use fixed path for call of driverless itself (Pull request #293).- Version upgrade to 1.28.0
* 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).
* pclmtoraster: Added new filter to extract Raster data from raster-only PDF files, here for the special case of PCLm files (Pull request #243, #257).
* Sample PPDs: In Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd add option to switch between color and grayscale printing (Pull request #237).- Version upgrade to 1.27.5
* cups-browsed: Do not remove the created local queues on shutdown, to avoid their re-creation on restart, so that desktops get no cluttered with notifications of new queues being created. One can return to the old behavior via \"KeepGeneratedQueuesOnShutdown No\" in cups-browsed.conf (Ubuntu bug #1869981, #1878241).
* cups-browsed: Do not accept DNS-SD broadcasts of IPPS type of \"remote\" CUPS queues of another CUPS instance on the local machine. This way we get a local queue pointing to such a printer only in unencrypted version (IPP). For some reason printing from one CUPS server to another on the same machine works only unencrypted.
* foomatic-rip: Map two-sided-short-edge to DuplexTumble (Pull request #236)
* Build system: In configure.ac use AS_IF instead of AC_CHECK_FILE for font check (Issue #239, Pull request #240)
* cups-browsed: Cleaned up code for determining to which CUPS server (host/port/domain socket) to connect, so that connection via DomainSocket cups-browsed.conf directive, CUPS_SERVER and IPP_PORT environment variables and all defaults and methods of libcups, including CUPS\' client.conf work.
* gstoraster, rastertopdf: Do not pass NULL to fprintf() (Pull request #230).
* libcupsfilters: Silence compiler warning (Pull request #229).- Version upgrade to 1.27.4
* libcupsfilters, cups-browsed: Fix memory issues in ppdgenerator and cups-browsed (Pull request #226).
* pdftops: Mention cups-filters README, CUPS README in debug log (Pull request #225).
* pdftopdf, gstoraster, foomatic-rip: Use \"-dSAFER\" Ghostscript option, instead of the deprecated \"-dPARANOIDSAFER\" (Pull request #224).
* Build System: Replace \'==\' in configure.ac test with \'=\', as the former is a bashism (Pull request #222).- Version upgrade to 1.27.3
* cups-browsed: Allow sharing local queues pointing to remote CUPS queues and re-sharing printers discovered via BrowsePoll by default, using AllowResharingRemoteCUPSPrinters and NewBrowsePollQueuesShared directives in cups-browsed.conf (Issue #101, Pull request #218).
* driverless: Correctly unlink temporary file when generating PPD file (Pull request #220).
* cups-browsed: Fixed memory leaks (Pull request #219).
* foomatic-rip: PDF page count side-loads the PDF file to count the pages in, so it cannot be run in -dSAFER mode. Run even in -dNOSAFER mode to override the -dSAFER default of newer Ghostscript versions. This should not cause a security problem as we do not take an input file which could do arbitrary side-loads but we run hard-coded PostScript commands instead (Issue #216).
* libfontembed: Add checks to the test programs to not segfault if the test font file is not found (Pull request #214).
* Build System: Let ./configure fail if the supplied test font file path (or the default) does not exist (Pull request #214), also use the \"find\" command to find the test font file DejaVuSans.ttf under /usr/share/fonts, as every distribution has it somewhere else.- fix_upstream_issue348.patch is no longer needed because it is now fixed in the upstream sources, see the above entry about \"Issue #348\". Entries like \"Issue #NNN\" or \"Pull request #NNN\" mean cups-filters upstream issues or cups-filters upstream GitHub pull requests at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters
* Thu Apr 15 2021 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- fix_upstream_issue348.patch fixes https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/348 foomatic-rip segfaults with \'job-sheets=none,none\' but works with \'job-sheets=none\' (bsc#1182893)
* Tue Nov 10 2020 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- The wrapper backends /usr/lib/cups/backend/beh and /usr/lib/cups/backend/implicitclass must be installed with 0700 permissions so that cupsd runs them as root (backends with root-only permissions are run as root by cupsd) because otherwise wrapper backends cannot run other backends that need to run as root in particular the ipp backend runs as root and the implicitclass wrapper backend runs it to print via queues that are generated by cupsd-browsed, see the upstream issue https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/183 (boo#1178604).
* Thu Mar 05 2020 Dmitry Roshchin - Update to 1.27.2
* foomatic-rip: In some PostScript input files it was possible that option settings did not get inserted or lines inserted on the wron place (Issue #208, Pull request #210).
* foomatic-rip: For the PDF page count call Ghostscript in sandbox mode and fix pointer arithmetics (Pull request #212).
* foomatic-rip: Zero-page-job handling changes made the last page of PostScript files not printed, also turning one-page jobs into zero-page jobs (Issue #200, Issue #206, Issue #208, Pull request #209, Pull request #210, Pull request #211).
* cups-browsed: check_printer_with_option() function: Initialize the value, add further checks, freeing memory and stop allocating magic numbers (Pull request #204).
* cups-browsed: Additional checks against crashes in the is_local_hostname() function (Ubuntu bug #1863716)
* Wed Feb 19 2020 Javier Llorente - Update to 1.27.1
* libcupsfilters: Let the PPD generator not put any dashes into the PPD option and choice names when translating them from IPP attribute names, to avoid that on the back-translation by CUPS no double-dashes are generated. This broke paper tray selections with tray names like \"tray-1\", \"tray-2\", ... (Issue #192, Issue #201, Debian bug #949315).
* foomatic-rip: Fixed segfault when PRINTER environment variable is not supplied.
* pdftopdf, pdftops, gstoraster, gstopdf, gstopxl, rastertoescpx, rastertopclx, foomatic-rip: Handle zero-page jobs (Issue #117, Pull request #196, Pull request #197, Pull request #198, Pull request #200).
* texttopdf: Added support for CJK (double-width) fonts (Issue #135, Pull request #199).
* cups-browsed: Switched default for \"CreateIPPPrinterQueues\" from \"local-only\" to \"All\". The configure script options \"--enable-auto-setup-local-only\" and \"--enable-auto-setup-driverless-only\" can be used to change this default (Debian bug #921252).
* rastertoescpx: Fixed wrong freeing of a buffer.
* pdftops: Added options \"crop-to-fit\" and \"fill\" to the pdftopdf options which the pstops called by pdftops should not apply a second time.
* pdftops: Added missing \"-sstdout=%stderr\" to Ghostscript command line, to assure that all messages are redirected to stderr and do not mix up with the output data.- Drop add-cstring-include.patch: already present upstream- Drop foomatic-rip-fix-compilation-with-fno-common.patch: already present upstream
* Thu Jan 09 2020 Martin Wilck - Fix compilation with -fno-common, in preparation for gcc 10 (boo#1160387)
* Added foomatic-rip-fix-compilation-with-fno-common.patch (merged upstream as commit e6c5025)
* Tue Sep 03 2019 Ismail Dönmez - Add add-cstring-include.patch to include cstring for memcpy and strcmp
* Wed Jun 12 2019 Dominique Leuenberger - BuildRequire pkgconfig(systemd) instead of systemd: allow OBS to shortcut the build queues by allowing usage of systemd-mini
* Fri Jun 07 2019 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 1.25.0:
* pdftoijs, pdftoopvp: Removed these deprecated filters completely as there is no demand for them any more. They also used unstable, undocumented APIs of Poppler.
* pdftoraster: Changed from using unstable, undocumented APIs of Poppler to stable, documented ones, to improve maintainability of this filter, and with it of the cups-filters package.
* libcupsfilters: Added support for color spaces CMY and RGBW when using filters without PPD file (mainly for development and debugging, option \"print-color-mode\" with values \"cmy-XX\" and \"rgbw-XX\" with XX being the number of bits per color).- Changes from version 1.24.0:
* cups-browsed: Integration of Deepak Patankar\'s Google Summer of Code 2018 project with the main goal of clustering different printers and automatically selecting the destination printers by job content and option/attribute settings.
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: Support for mixed clusters of remote CUPS queues and IPP network printers. For this PPD files of remote CUPS queues are generated by cups-browsed based on IPP queries, as for native IPP printers, the number of jobs for load balancing is polled in a way that it works also with native IPP printers, the implicitclass backend sends jobs directly to the printer instead of re-queueing them via CUPS.
* cups-browsed: Merge IPP attributes of several printers to combined attributes for the cluster to generate the cluster\'s PPD file, including PPD constraints for option combinations not fulfillable by any of the member printers, and finding reasonable, non-conflicting default settings.
* cups-browsed: Selection algorithm for the destination printer for a job sent to the cluster. Based on the job settings requested such as page size, media type, print quality, the best most suitable printer in the cluster for the job will be selected.
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: Filter jobs to clusters already locally. Due to the fact that a cluster\'s member printers are not exclusively non-raw CUPS queues with the complete filtering framework on the remote server, but also native IPP printers, we need to support generic driverless printers as destination. So we cannot pass on the input data unfiltered but need to filter locally. We let the cluster\'s PPD file emulate a PDF printer, letting the local CUPS queue of the cluster run pdftopdf and any pre-filters to turn the input into PDF and we let the implicitclass backend turn PDF into a format understood by the destination printer, supporting the 4 formats of driverless IPP printing: PDF, PWG Raster, Apple Raster, PCLm.- Drop libpoppler-cpp0, libpoppler-devel and libpoppler-glib-devel BuildRequires.- Add pkgconfig(poppler-cpp) BuildRequires following upstream changes.
* Fri May 31 2019 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 1.23.0:
* This release adds support for the \"print-scaling\" IPP attribute and has the code for the support of MuPDF as PDF renderer vastly simplified.
* pdftops, mupdftoraster: Let pdftops call mutool directly and so that it directly outputs PostScript, eliminating the need to call the mupdftoraster and rastertops filters.
* mupdftoraster: Reduced the use of temporary files from 3 to just one.
* imagetopdf, imagetoraster, pdftopdf: Add support for print-scaling option.- Changes from version 1.22.6:
* Bug fix release, to address a further issue of cups-browsed removing user-created print queues, to make grayscale/monochrome PostScript jobs of colored input file actually output grayscale/monochrome files, to fix several bugs when using MuPDF as PDF renderer, and to silence compiler warnings.
* Mon Apr 08 2019 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.22.5
* foomatic-rip: Changed Ghostscript call to count pages in a PDF file to use \"runpdfbegin\" and not the undocumented Ghostscript internal \"pdfdict\", so that it works with Ghostscript 9.27 and later (Debian bug #926576, Arch Linux bug #62251, openSUSE boo#1131771, cupsAATTcups.org mailing list thread https://lists.cups.org/pipermail/cups/2019-April/074563.html).- Version upgrade to 1.22.4
* cups-browsed: Fix broken trailing space removal on \"NickName\" (Pull request #103).
* pdftops: Emit PostScript Level 2 instead of Level 3 for Brother PostScript printers as at least some of them report to support level 3 but ontly work with Level 2 (Ubuntu bug #1306849, comment #42).
* bannertopdf: When multiplying the page for N-up or Duplex printing one page too much was generated (Issue #102).- Version upgrade to 1.22.3
* libcupsfilters: Added error checks for processing GIF, to avoid crashes or hangs on broken GIF files (Issues #81, #82, Pull request #100).
* cups-browsed: Added hint to the man page and configuration file that with \"DebugLogging stderr\" the logging output goes to journal or syslog if cups-browsed is running as system service (Issue #28).- Version upgrade to 1.22.2
* cups-browsed: Let distribution of jobs sent to queues with \"implicitclass\" backend (usually clusters) be done by a \"job-state\" CUPS notification and not by \"printer-state-changed\" any more. The \"job-state\" notification already contains the job ID. Before we had to poll the job ID from CUPS via IPP which was sometimes unreliable (Issue #97).
* imagetopdf, imagetoraster, pdftopdf, libcupsfilters: Added new page scaling options: \"fill\" scales the input page (typically a photo) so that the output page (typically with different aspect ratio) gets completely filled, aloowing for some content of the input page getting lost. \"crop-to-fit\" allows for easy printing of documents on slightly different output page sizes (A4 <-> Letter) maintaining the size and centering and cropping into the destination page. Thanks to Dheeraj Yadav (dhirajyadav135 at gmail dot com) for the patch (Pull request #92).
* cups-browsed: Do not do IPP request for printer-is-shared option for remote cups queues with CUPS 2.2.x and newer (Pull request #91).
* cups-browsed: Fix crash bug when reading \"Cluster\" directive from configuration file (Issue #94).
* driverless: Updated man page as now also Mopria and Wi-Fi Direct printers are supported. Mentioned also ippusbxd.
* Wed Feb 20 2019 bjorn.lieAATTgmail.com- Update to version 1.22.1:
* braille: Use sort command with LC_ALL=C for reproducibility of the genrated files, needed for distribution packaging.
* cups-browsed, driverless: When polling the printer\'s capabilities via get-printer-attributes IPP request for driverless printing, use the attributes \"all\" and \"media-col-database\". Without \"all\" some printers do not report \"urf-supported\" and without \"media-col-database\" not all paper size and marging info gets reported.
* braille: Document how to rework output before embossing.
* Mon Jan 28 2019 bjorn.lieAATTgmail.com- Update to version 1.22.0:
* From this release on the pdftopdf filter flattens interactive PDF forms and annotations internally, using QPDF, instead of calling external utilities. This especially eliminates slowing factors as additional piping of the data and unneeded use of PDF interpreters. Using external utilities for flattening is still possible in case of problems. In addition, a crash bug in cups-browsed got fixed and compatibility of the filters with Poppler 0.72 assured.- Drop upstream fixed patches:
* 0001-Raise-minimum-poppler-version-from-0.18-to-0.19.patch
* 0002-Adapt-code-for-SplashXPathScanner-state-handling-sin.patch
* 0003-Support-some-more-methods-returning-const.patch
* 0004-Support-GooString-c_str-introduced-by-poppler-0.72.patch
* Sat Dec 29 2018 Stefan Brüns - Fix building with Poppler 0.72 Add 0001-Raise-minimum-poppler-version-from-0.18-to-0.19.patch Add 0002-Adapt-code-for-SplashXPathScanner-state-handling-sin.patch Add 0003-Support-some-more-methods-returning-const.patch Add 0004-Support-GooString-c_str-introduced-by-poppler-0.72.patch See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/pull/83
* Tue Dec 18 2018 bjorn.lieAATTgmail.com- Update to version 1.21.6:
* Bug fix release, mainly for cups-browsed to avoid crashes and infinite printer removal/re-creation loops and spurious local queues for local CUPS printers. Also expanded PostScript interpreter bug workaround to more Apple LaserWriter models.
* cups-browsed: To find out whether a DNS-SD-discovered printer is from the local machine, use not only the flags in the Avahi lookup result but also check the host name.
* cups-browsed: When a local CUPS queue pointing to a remote CUPS printer was removed and re-created to make it a permanent queue, on_printer_deleted() was triggered by cupsd\'s notification to re-create a lost queue. Now on_printer_deleted() checks whether the queue is really gone and only re-creates then.
* cups-browsed: When updating the CUPS queues, also removed and unregistered queues and not only created queues got checked for HTTP timeouts, which caused crashes on shutdown.
* pdftops: Use the PS interpreter of Poppler for all Apple LaserWriter 16/600, 4/600, 12/640, 12/600, 12/660 as they all seem to not work with Ghostscript\'s PS output.
* cups-browsed: On shutdown queues got removed even if they still had jobs.- Changes from version 1.21.5:
* Bug fix release, to build with Poppler 0.71 and with cups-browsed converting temporary CUPS queues reliably to permanent queues.
* cups-browsed: We cannot reliably determine whether a CUPS queue is temporary, so we apply the procedure to make a temporary queue permanent to any unshared queue.
* pdftoraster, pdftopdf, pdftoijs, pdftoopvp: Do not use the Poppler-specific \"GBool\", \"gFalse\", \"gTrue\" any more, as Poppler has switched to standard \"bool\", \"false\", \"true\" in version 0.71.0.
* Wed Nov 28 2018 bjorn.lieAATTgmail.com- Update to version 1.21.4:
* cups-browsed: cups-browsed: Limit the number of retries for creating a print queue when it comes to HTTP timeouts. Number of retries given by HttpMaxRetries directive in cups-browsed.conf.
* cups-browsed: Read out current time right before setting the timeouts.
* libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator for driverless IPP printing let \"
*cupsManualCopies: true\" lines get added to the PPD if printing is done in a raster format as then pdftopdf needs to generate the copies.
* pdftoraster, pdftoopvp, pdftoijs: Fix build with Poppler >= 0.70
* pdftopdf: Fixed printing multiple copies on driverless IPP printers. When printing collated copies the multiple copies got applied twice, resulting in n
*n instead of n copies.
* pdftoraster, pdftoopvp, pdftoijs: Poppler removed memCheck and gMemReport functions, remove appropriate calls.- Changes from version 1.21.3:
* foomatic-rip: Reset stdin after replacing the underlying file descriptor.- Changes from version 1.21.2:
* cups-browsed: Fixed freeing of literal string caused by Coverity Scan issue fix.
* Thu Aug 30 2018 Tomáš Chvátal - Do not diferentiate for service location, it is in sbindir on all systems we support now- Use license for license install- Version update to 1.21.1: - foomatic-rip: Fixed segmentation fault caused by wrong Coverity Scan issue fix (Issue #57, Debian bug #907026). - Build system: Require QPDF 8.1.0 or later as it is needed by bannertopdf (Issue #56). - libcupsfilters, cups-browsed, driverless, foomatic-rip, parallel: Silenced warnings from newest gcc. - libcupsfilters: When generating a PPD for driverless printing on a remote IPP printer, make pdftopdf not being run by the local queue if the remote queue is a CUPS queue to avoid running pdftopdf twice (CUPS Issue #5361). - libcupsfilters, cups-browsed, driverless, bannertopdf, foomatic-rip, pdftops, pdftoraster, rastertops, rastertoescpx, sys5ippprinter, beh: Fixed Coverity Scan issues. Thanks to Zdenek Dohnal (zdohnal at redhat dot com) for the tests and the patches. - bannertopdf: Switched over from using Poppler to using QPDF for generating the PDF pages. With Poppler unstable APIs were used which were subject to change. Thanks to Sahil Arora for this project in the Google Summer of Code 2018 (Pull request #25). - cups-browsed: Manually defined clusters (\"Cluster\" directive in cups-browsed.conf) caused cups-browsed to crash.
* Tue Jul 17 2018 alarrosaAATTsuse.com- Version upgrade to 1.20.4 - gstoraster: Removed unneeded \"if\"s (Ghostscript bug #692705). - cups-browsed: When checking whether there is already a local print queue with the same URI as the one of the discovered printer, consider also as equal URI if the URIs only differ by use of IPP or IPPS and/or use of HTTPS port 443 instead of IPP port 631. - cups-browsed: Also upgrade from ipp: to ipps: when the ipps: URI is on HTTPS port 443 instead of IPP port 631. This is common on IPP network printers. - pdftopdf: Removed support for hardware-implemented reversing of page order in PostScript printers. It was once not correctly implemented in cups-filters and second, such printers are extremely rare, and on Gutenprint PPDs with pseudo OutputOrder option hardware reversing was even wrongly assumed (Issue #47). - pdftopdf: Accept option \"output-order=normal/reverse\" for reversing page order (Issue #47) and also \"page-delivery= same-order/reverse-order\" (CUPS Issue #5340). - libcupsfilters: Let the PPD generator add \"
*PageStackOrder ...\" lines to the choices of the \"OutputBin\" option, to mark which output bins need the pages printed in reverse order (Issue #47). - libcupsfilters: Let the PPD generator correctly create a \"
*DefaultOutputOrder: ...\" entry, depending on whether the paper is put out face-up or face-down in the default output bin (Issue #47). - libcupsfilters: Fixed human-readable name of the OutputBin option in the PPD generator. - pdftoopvp: Silence compiler warning (Issue #42). - cups-browsed: If the user modifies/overwrites a print queue created by cups-browsed, it will now not only be automatically released from the control of cups-browsed, but we also create a replacement for our generated local queue under a new name. - cups-browsed: Make URIS for using the implicitclass backend correctly working also with queue names containing an \'AATT\' character. - braille: Strengthen error checking (Pull request #41). - braille: Index: Replace bogus characters with space (Pull request #41). - braille: Add print and braille page number options (Pull request #41). - braille: Index: Use standard duplex cups option (Pull request #41). - cups-browsed: Moved auto-generation of PPD file for IPP network printers from create_remote_printer_entry() function to update_cups_queues(). This allows re-creating accidentally removed or overwritten local queues without losing the PPD file. - braille: Add option to pick hyphenation rule according to current locale and make it the default for second translation table. (Pull request #38 and #39). - braille: Remove generated defs on \"make clean\". (Pull request #38). - braille: Turn non-breakable spaces to spaces. (Pull request [#38] and #39). - braille: Fix character encoding when extracting text. When extracing text from a zip file or a pdf, the resulting text is always utf-8 independently of the original locale, so we need to force that. (Pull request #38). - braille: Warn when no text translation was selected in case the user didn\'t notice. (Pull request #37). - braille: Fix spurious spacing after last Form-Feed (Pull request #45).- Drop pdftoopvp_Silence-compiler-warning.patch
* Tue Jul 10 2018 bjorn.lieAATTgmail.com- Add pdftoopvp_Silence-compiler-warning.patch: pdftoopvp: Silence compiler warning.
* Wed May 02 2018 luizlucaAATTgmail.com- Version upgrade to 1.20.3 to fix regression from 1.20.2 that ignores printers published using legacy CUPS broadcast
* Tue Apr 10 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.20.2 to provide upstream bugfixes also for SLE15 / Leap15 and be also already prepared for SLE12 (fate#323676). This is a bug fix release fixing the recognition of remote CUPS queues by cups-browsed, the behavior of cups-browsed when one creates a queue with the same name of a cups-browsed-generated queue overwriting it, and other bug fixes (for details see the NEWS file).
* Wed Apr 04 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.20.1 to provide upstream bugfixes also for SLE15 / Leap15 and be also already prepared for SLE12 (fate#323676). This is a bug fix release fixing several issues on the Braille support and other bugs, in particular (for details see the NEWS file):
* libcupsfilters: Silenced warning when using CUPS < 2.x by eliminating the use of a recently introduced CUPS library function, see https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1421
* cups-browsed: Fixed crash when CUPS reports a print queue without \"device-uri\" attribute when cups-browsed polls a list of local CUPS queues, see https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/16- fix_upstream_bug_1421.patch is no longer needed because it is now fixed in the upstream sources (see the \"libcupsfilters ... bug ... 1421\" entry above).
* Wed Feb 21 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.20.0:
* Mainly enhancements and fixes for the PPD generator.
* For detailed info see the NEWS file.- fix_upstream_bug_1421.patch is the upstream fix for https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1421- Use \'BuildRequires python3-cups\' only if suse_version >= 1330 (cf. \"Do not require python-cups but rather python3-cups\" below) which means after any SLE12 service pack and after any Leap 42.x i.e. for Tumbleweed, Leap 15.x, and the upcoming SLE15 and later otherwise still use \'BuildRequires python-cups\' to make it build and usable again not only on some newest systems according to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_the_Printing_project
* Tue Jan 23 2018 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Version upgrade to 1.19.0:
* See the detailed stuff in NEWS file
* New filters and poppler compatibility as always- Do not require python-cups but rather python3-cups in order to allow build on python2 less system- Explicitly enable ijs and opvp filters
* Fri Sep 29 2017 olafAATTaepfle.de- Obsolete also debuginfo subpackages of the packages marked as Obsoletes in this specfile (bsc#1047897)
* Sat Sep 16 2017 zaitorAATTopensuse.org- Version upgrade to 1.17.6:
* As the changelog is long for detailed info check the NEWS file.
* Package new filters.
* Compatible with poppler 0.58 and newer (Bug #1408).
* Fri Jun 02 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- The filter for Apple Raster input is rastertopdf for CUPS 2.2.2+ and urftopdf for older CUPS. Because Factory/Tumbleweed uses the newest CUPS for build (which is currently CUPS 2.2.3 as of this writing) the filter for Apple Raster input is rastertopdf for Factory/Tumbleweed so that /usr/lib/cups/filter/urftopdf must be excluded from the RPM files list for Factory/Tumbleweed.
* Thu Jun 01 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- The RPM scriptlet hack that created a special cupsfilters.convs so that the gstoraster filter can be used with CUPS <= 1.5.4 does no longer make sense and is therefore removed.
* Tue May 30 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Since version 1.14.0 there are no longer sub-packages (except cups-filters-devel) because nowadays cups-filters can no longer be built with CUPS < 1.6 with reasonable effort, see the entry below dated \"Wed Oct 7 11:16:13 CEST 2015\". On systems with CUPS >= 1.6 (i.e. since SLE12 GA / Leap 42.1) there is no good reason to keep cups-filters split into sub-packages and furthermore that split causes continuous (nowadays useless) efforts and bugs (like boo#1034877).- Version upgrade to 1.14.0: Some excerpts (for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: Added new setting \"LocalOnly\" for the CreateIPPPrinterQueues in cups-browsed.conf.- Version upgrade to 1.13.5: Some excerpts (for details see the NEWS file):
* foomatic-rip: When called via cupsfilter, foomatic-rip was not able to read the PPD file with (Bug #1388).
* cups-browsed: When creating a local queue for a remote CUPS printer, add the line \'
*APRemoteQueueID: \"\"\' to the PPD file so that CUPS sets the CUPS_PRINTER_REMOTE bit for the printer type of the local queue (Bug #1386).- fallback_read_ppd_file_from_environment.patch is no longer needed because it is now provided in the upstream sources (see the \"Bug #1388\" entry above).- Version upgrade to 1.13.4: Some excerpts (for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: Corrected determination whether an IPP status is an error, to avoid \"Unable to create/modify CUPS queue (Success)\" and infinite repetition of a succeeded operation (Debian bug #852436).
* Mon Mar 13 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- fallback_read_ppd_file_from_environment.patch lets foomatic-rip call read_ppd_file() with PPD filename from environment as fallback, see https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388
* Fri Jan 20 2017 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Version upgrade to 1.13.3:
* As the changelog is long for detailed info check the NEWS file
* Disable mutool switch to not build with mupdf package in order to not expand the dependencies too much
* /usr/lib/cups/filter/textonly was renamed to texttotext
* pstopdf filter dropped by upstream (cf. boo#1036220)
* Add new driverless binary/driver to work with new style IPP printers that do not require any driver
* Thu Mar 03 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.8.2
* 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).- Version upgrade to 1.8.1
* cups-browsed: Do not disable queues which still have jobs (and therefore cannot be removed) when avahi-daemon goes away, the print server is most probably still available and printing can be continued. Especially important on mobile devices where avahi-daemon is shut down when the print dialog is closed (and the job(s) still printing).- Version upgrade to 1.8.0
* COPYING: Replaced the COPYING file by a file in Debian format, derived from Debian\'s file but updated and corrected.
* braille: Added info about additional packages needed for Braille printing to the README file.
* braille: Let the Braille filters use lou_translate of liblouis if the more sophisticated file2brl of liblouisutdml is not installed. This is decided on at run time, so later installation of liblouisutdml will let the filters automatically switch to file2brl.
* braille: Allow to build with Braille support also if liblouis is not installed at build time.
* braille: Added checks for the presence of helper tools, to get clear messages in the CUPS error_log if something is missing.
* Fixed copyright headers of files inherited from CUPS or derived from CUPS, pointing to COPYING as license info file, removing Apple exceptions, removing hints that a missing license info file can be found at www.cups.org, and removing \"$Id\" SVN file ID placeholders.
* Updated COPYING file for missing implicitclass and beh backends.- Version upgrade to 1.7.0
* cups-browsed: Added possibility to trigger the auto shutdown by the queues of cups-browsed being without jobs. Before auto shutdown was only possible when all queues have gone away. This allows auto shutdown on mobile devices where avahi-daemon is also used for other things than printing.- Version upgrade to 1.6.0
* cups-browsed: Fixed use of CUPS domain socket, both detection during build process and permission check at runtime.
* foomatic-rip: Fixed buffer overflow when reading environment variables CUPS_FONTPATH, CUPS_DATADIR, and GS_LIB (Bug [#1336]).
* beh: Introduced beh, the Backend Error Handler, a wrapper backend to make handling of backend errors more configurable. This backend is a C re-write of the beh backend written in Perl which was part of the former foomatic-filters package. Several people asked for beh getting moved to cups-filters.
* braille: Make image printing working also if ImageMagick generates formatted images without header.
* braille: If the user does not select a Braille translation, let the embosser do the translation.
* cups-browsed: Added version info to help screen and start-up in debug mode, call help screen also via \"--version\" option.
* cups-browsed: Minor improvements in help screen and man page.- Version upgrade to 1.5.0
* cups-browsed: Allow use of an alternative configuration file via the \"-c\" command line option.
* cups-browsed: Allow supplying configuration settings via the command line using the \"-o\" command line option.
* cups-browsed: Command line help via the \"-h\" or \"--help\" command line option.
* Thu Dec 17 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.4.0 Changes in 1.4.0 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* foomatic-rip: SECURITY FIX: Also consider the semicolon (\';\') as an illegal shell escape character. Thanks to Adam Chester (adam dot chester at pentest dot co dot uk) for the hint CVE-2015-8560 (bsc#957531).
* brftoembosser, imagetobrf, imagetoubrl, imageubrltoindexv3, imageubrltoindexv4, textbrftoindexv3, textbrftoindexv4, texttobrf, braille.convs, braille.types, generic-brf.drv, indexv3.drv, indexv4.drv: Added support for Braille embossing via CUPS. Text and even images can now be sent to a Braille embosser like to a printer. Thanks to Samuel Thibault (samuel dot thibault at ens-lyon dot org) for this contribution.- BuildRequires liblouis-devel is needed for Braille embossers.- Version upgrade to 1.3.0 Changes in 1.3.0 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: Added new BrowseFilter directive in cups-browsed.conf. This directive allows filtering of the remote printers to be accepted on most properties/metadata supplied with the DNS-SD broadcasts. This allows, in addition to BrowseAllow/BrowseDeny/BrowseOrder, to reduce the amount of printers listed in print dialogs to a more useful amount.
* cups-browsed: Added support for BrowseDeny and BrowseOrder directives in cups-browsed.conf.
* cups-browsed: Let the BrowseAllow lines in cups-browsed.conf also apply to remote printers discovered via DNS-SD.- Version upgrade to 1.2.0 Changes in 1.2.0 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* foomatic-rip: SECURITY FIX: Also consider the back tick (\'`\') as an illegal shell escape character. Thanks to Michal Kowalczyk from the Google Security Team for the hint CVE-2015-8327 (bsc#957531).- Version upgrade to 1.1.0 Changes in 1.1.0 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* Version numbering scheme changed: Releases with feature addition/change have the minor number increased now, pure bug fix releases get the revision number increased, to make use of the minor number which stayed zero all the time.
* cups-browsed: Added \"DefaultOptions\" directive to cups-browsed.conf to allow defining default option settings for local queues to be generated for newly appearing remote printers.
* cups-browsed: Let option settings of a generated print queue be saved before taking the queue down so that when the remote printer appears again all user changes get restored, making user changes permanent on generated queues.
* cups-browsed: Added a mode in which IP-based device URIs for the generation of local print queues are used, for cases with problems in local host name resolution.
* foomatic-rip: Use -dFirstPage=... and -dLastPage=... only if really needed (Bug #1324).
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: Make the load-balancing configurable so that one can select whether the jobs get queued up locally like in a CUPS class or whether they get immediately distributed to the remote servers letting them queue up there.- FirstPage_LastPage_only_if_needed.patch is obsolete since version 1.1.0 because it is fixed in the sources.
* Wed Oct 07 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- FirstPage_LastPage_only_if_needed.patch lets foomatic-rip add -dFirstPage=N [and -dLastPage=M] to the Ghostscript command line only if those options are actually needed (i.e. if FirstPage > 1 [and when LastPage >= FirstPage]) cf. http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696246 and https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324- At least for now support for cups154 in the SLE12 legacy module is abandoned (by default SLE12 has CUPS 1.7.5) because newer cups-filters versions again use stuff that is provided since CUPS > 1.5.4 so that it does no longer build with CUPS 1.5.4. Perhaps I (jsmeixAATTsuse.de) find time to fix it again for CUPS 1.5.4 but when not, newer cups-filters will no longer work with CUPS 1.5.4.- Version upgrade to 1.0.76 Changes in 1.0.76 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: Let the load-balancing queue up the jobs in the local (generated) queue until a free (idle, enabled, and accepting jobs) remote queue is found (check every 5 sec if no free queue available). This gives a more even distribution of the work amongst the servers and protects against the case that a bunch of jobs gets inaccessible or lost if one of the servers fails.
* cups-browsed: Let the load-balancing also check whether the destination queue is actually accepting jobs.
* cups-browsed: If a generated queue is not removed on shutdown of cups-browsed due to remaining jobs in it, re-enable it in the next cups-browsed session even if it was disabled by something other than cups-browsed.
* implicitclass: Clean up debug and error messages.
* implicitclass: Fix exit codes for immediate retry of jobs.
* cups-browsed: Make absence of CUPS notifications via D-Bus non-fatal and fall back to the old behavior of cups-browsed (fail-over instead of load balancing for equally-named remote queues, do not remove generated queue if it is default instead of default printer management). This solves problems of CUPS and/or cups-browsed built without D-Bus support or absence of D-Bus on the system (Bug #1316).
* cups-browsed: Do not use g_warning() function, sneaked in by copy and paste of CUPS subscription functions.- Version upgrade to 1.0.75 Changes in 1.0.75 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* texttopdf: Really support BoldItalic (original texttops just maps BoldItalic to Bold).
* texttopdf: Fixed segfault when outputting BoldItalic (Bug #1314).- Version upgrade to 1.0.74 Changes in 1.0.74 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: Added NULL check when getting the notification of a printer starting to process a job and checking whether this printer is created by cups-browsed with the implicitclass: backend (Ubuntu bug #1488524).
* cups-browsed: Do not schedule printers for update when they are already marked as disappeared.
* cups-browsed: Added sanity checks when saving the default printer selection in a file.
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: If remote queues disappear or cups-browsed shuts down and a cups-browsed-generated queue still has jobs and needs to be kept therefore, disable it and re-enable it when cups-browsed starts again and/or the remote queue(s) re-appear(s). This avoids repeated retries of the jobs while the remote server is not available, causing unneeded system load and battery consumption.
* cups-browsed: After polling info from remote CUPS servers to find the best destination job, set the default CUPS server back to local.- Version upgrade to 1.0.73 Changes in 1.0.73 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: Added missing utils/org.cups.cupsd.Notifier.xml file.- Version upgrade to 1.0.72 Changes in 1.0.72 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed, implicitclass: Added load balancing functionality. If there are several remote CUPS printers with the same name, they for locally a cluster represented by a print queue with this name. This printer prints through a special backend (implicitclass) which makes cups-browsed find the best destination remote queue (fewest jobs, enabled) for this job.
* cups-browsed: Added protection against accidental deletion of print queues generated by cups-browsed. These queues now get automatically re-created.
* cups-browsed: Added LDAP support. Appropriately configured via cups-browsed.conf remote printers made available via LDAP will be looked up and local queues pointing to them created. Thanks to Raphael Geissert (atomo64 at gmail dot com) for contributing this patch (Debian bug #795185).
* cups-browsed: Introduced new handling for the default printer using cache files. So we do not need to keep an auto-generated queue because it is set as default printer. If the auto-generated queue disappears, the old local printer is set as default again and when it re-appears it returns to be the default printer.
* cups-browsed: Added infrastructure for subscribing to CUPS notifications for things like improved default printer handling, load balancing, ...
* foomatic-rip: Prevent crash when supplying \"media\" option with empty value (\"media=\", Ubuntu bug #1479871).
* pdftoopvp: Adaptations to API changes on Poppler 0.34.0, note that this patch disables color management in this filter. Thanks to Vincent le Garrec and Andreas K. Huettel for the patch (Bug #1301, Gentoo bug #554782).
* texttopdf: Request the generic \'monospace\' font alias from fontconfig instead of the hard-coded FreeMono. Thanks to Fabian Greffrath (fabian at debian dot org) for the patch (Debian bug #788048).- cups-filters-poppler-034.patch is obsolete since version 1.0.72 because it is fixed in the sources.
* Thu Sep 03 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- More appropriate URL entry in spec file: Now it is (wrapped URL) http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups /openprinting/cups-filters that shows mainly generic information instead of (wrapped URL) http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups /openprinting/pdf_as_standard_print_job_format that provides mainly technical details.
* Sun Jul 26 2015 zaitorAATTopensuse.org- Add cups-filters-poppler-034.patch: Fix build with poppler-0.34. See https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1301 pdftoopvp: Adaptations to API changes on Poppler 0.34.0, note that this patch disables color management in this filter.
* Mon Jul 06 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.0.71 Changes in 1.0.71 (cf. the NEWS file but there is a typo in the NEWS file that claims the CVE number is 3259 while the correct CVE number is 3279):
* texttopdf: The Page allocation is moved into textcommon.c, where it does all the necessary checking: lower-bounds for CVE-2015-3258 (bsc#936281) and upper-bounds for CVE-2015-3279 (bsc#937018) due to integer overflows for the calloc() call initialising Page[0] and the memset() call in texttopdf.c\'s WritePage() function zeroing the entire array. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch.
* texttopdf: Upper-bounds checking CVE-2015-3279 (bsc#937018).
* Mon Jun 29 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.0.70 Changes in 1.0.70 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* texttopdf: Fixed buffer overflow on size allocation of texttopdf when working with extremely small line sizes, which causes the size calculation to result in 0 CVE-2015-3258 (bsc#936281), thanks to Stefan Cornelius from Red Hat for the patch.
* cups-browsed: leak fixes
* cups-browsed: Further BrowseAllow fixing
* cups-browsed: BrowsePoll is an array of pointers, not structures, so allocate room for the pointers
* cups-browsed: Prevent NULL dereference when handling BrowseAllow without value
* cups-browsed: Use memory deallocation function corresponding to allocation function used
* cups-browsed: Fixes for glib source handling (Red Hat bug #1228555)- Version upgrade to 1.0.69 Changes in 1.0.69 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* cups-browsed: When checking whether a queue name already exists as a locally defined queue, do case-insensitive comparing as for CUPS printer names are case-insensitive. This assures that already existing queues do never get overwritten.
* cups-browsed: Added \"IPPPrinterQueueType Auto/PPD/NoPPD\" directive to cups-browsed.conf to allow controlling how cups-browsed creates queues fr native IPP network printers: with PPD, with System V interface script, or selecting automatically.
* pdftopdf: Center Landscape-oriented jobs correctly on the page if the \"fitplot\" or \"number-up\" options are used (Bug #1284).
* pstopdf: Removed \"-dUseCIEColor\" from the Ghostscript command line. In modern Ghostscript versions (9.11 and newer) it is recommended to not use it with the pdfwrite and ps2write output devices any more.
* imagetopdf: Corrections in PDF output: Let evince display the PDF with the correct size including margins and let ghostscript not complain about an invalid xref entry.
* sys5ippprinter: Renamed pdftoippprinter to reflect that it is once a System 5 interface script and second does not accept only PDF as input.
* pdftoippprinter: Support also PWG Raster and JPEG as input formats so that an auto-generated, PPD-less queue for an IPP printer emulates an IPP Everywhere printer.
* Thu May 14 2015 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Version bump to 1.0.68:
* cups-browsed: Numeric IDs for GSources of the glib event loop must be positive integers greater than zero according to the documentation of the g_source_get_id() function. Taken care of this at all places.
* cups-browsed: Added conditionals so that it also builds with CUPS 1.5.x (but then withou support for automatically creating queues for IPP network printers). Thanks to Johannes Meixner from SUSE for the patch (Bug #1268).
* Ricoh-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd: Added PPD file for Ricoh\'s PDF printers (experimental). Thanks to Ulrich Wehner from Ricoh for the file.- Remove upstream merged patch:
* fix-create_local_queue-ifndef-HAVE_CUPS_1_6.diff
* Fri Mar 20 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- For SLE12 build it with traditional CUPS 1.5.4 to ensure it works on SLE12 both with CUPS 1.7.5 and CUPS 1.5.4.
* Fri Mar 20 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- fix-create_local_queue-ifndef-HAVE_CUPS_1_6.diff makes it compile again without errors also for CUPS <= 1.5.4 by excluding code that uses CUPS >= 1.6 specific stuff, in particular by skipping create_local_queue for non-CUPS printer broadcasts for CUPS <= 1.5.4, see the upstream bug https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268
* Thu Mar 12 2015 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Reenable threads, seems to work fine. If there are thread related issues assign the bug to me.
* Thu Mar 12 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 1.0.67 Changes in 1.0.67:
* cups-browsed: Use g_source_remove() instead of g_source_destroy() for killing auto shutdown timers (Ubuntu bug #1427344).
* Sat Mar 07 2015 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Do no longer create foomatic-rip symlink that is now done by make install command (see linuxfoundation.org bug #1255 and the entry dated \"Mon Aug 25 15:30:37 CEST 2014\" below).- Fix postun call on cups-browsed to call right rpm macro
* Sat Mar 07 2015 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Version bump to 1.0.66:
* Many fixes in cups-browsed in particular a SECURITY FIX: Fixed a bug in the remove_bad_chars() failing to reliably filter out illegal characters if there are two or more subsequent illegal characters, allowing execution of arbitrary commands with the rights of the \"lp\" user, using forged print service announcements on DNS-SD servers (CVE-2015-2265, boo#921753, linuxfoundation.org bug #1265).
* Compat code for new poppler.
* For detailed listing see NEWS file in documentation.- Use .xz for tarball, bit smaller, adds dep on xz, no biggie- Changes in verion 1.0.63 (excerpts):
* foomatic-rip: Added hint to man page that direct, spooler-less mode is mainly for testing and debugging (linuxfoundation.org bug #1253, bsc#915545)
* foomatic-rip: Added a symlink of the filter to the binary executable directory (usually /usr/bin), so that LSB compliance test scripts work (linuxfoundation.org bug #1255, bsc#915545).
* Mon Nov 10 2014 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- During installation of a whole openSUSE system cups-filters-ghostscript can be installed before cups and then there is no /usr/share/cups/mime/ directory so that it is created if needed (bnc#904652).
