- CUPS Filters v1.0.74 release on 25 August 2015 (Till)
- 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).
- backends: Include unistd.h and fcntl.h in backend-private.h for
all platforms, not only Linux, so that the backends build also
on non-Linux platforms (Bug #1308).
- 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)
reappear(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
- CUPS Filters v1.0.73 release on 18 August 2015 (Till)
- Released minutes after 1.0.72 due to a forgotten file
- cups-browsed: Added missing
utils/org.cups.cupsd.Notifier.xml file.
- CUPS Filters v1.0.72 release on 18 August 2015 (Till)
- Last major feature release before Feature Freeze of Ubuntu 15.10
- 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).
- libcupsfilters, bannertopdf, foomatic-rip, gstoraster, pdftoijs,
sys5ippprinter, pdftoopvp, pdftops, pdftoraster, rastertoescpx,
urftopdf, texttopdf: Miscellaneous fixes for build compatibility
with different platforms, like config.h as very first include and
so on. Thanks to Richard Palo for the patch (Bug #1264).
- 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).
