- IPPUSBXD is feature complete
  - including udev-config-printer

- IPPUSBXD will go into Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn)
  - Till will commit before feature-freeze on Thursday 21 August
  - to be bundled in CUPS Filters (quick path to inclusion)
  - to be new separate package in later Ubuntu and Debian releases

- IPPUSBXD bug fixing will continue, as needed

(4) Status of CUPS and CUPS Filters (Till)

- CUPS Filters v1.0.57 released 14 August 2014 (Till)
  - rastertopclx:  Fixed implicit declaration of
    colord_get_inhibit_for_device_id

  - Build system:  Explicitly link to libm as -lm was dropped from
    cups-config --libs.

  - libcupsfilters, foomaticrip, gstoraster, imagetoraster, pdftoraster,
    rastertopclx, rastertopdf:  Handle absence of colord or D-Bus

- CUPS Filters v1.0.56 released 13 August 2014 (Till)
  - rastertopdf:  Some code polishing and removal of now unneeded
    functions

  - rastertopdf:  Reduced color space handling to only PWG-supported
    color spaces

  - rastertopdf:  Added colorspace calibration function; included
    optional "/Alternate" PDF key for ICC profile embedding

  - rastertopdf:  Colorspace sRGB now embeds srgb icc profile;
    implemented ICC Profile embedding (PDF 1.3 spec)

  - rastertopdf:  Added basic color calibration

  - rastertopdf:  Implemented ICC Profile creation code for IPP
    Everywhere (from PWG raster)

  - pdftoraster:  Added colord handling of ICC profiles

  - kmdevices.cpp/.h:  Added interface for Kolor Manager

  - cups-browsed:  Do not consider a remote CUPS queue as raw if
    the TXT record is NULL as for queues broadcasted by the
    legacy CUPS method the TXT record does not exist.
    Now consider a queue with NULL TXT record only as raw if the
    domain entry is not empty (which tells that the queue is
    Bonjour-broadcasted

  - cups-browsed:  Do also not mark a discovered printer as
    already provided by another server when the other server's
    queue has "unconfirmed" status.  Mark the other queue with
    "disappeared" or "unconfirmed" status as duplicate of the
    discovered printer so that the new queue for the discovered
    printer does not get removed when the entry for the other
    queue times out
