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.

page.

- 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.
- CUPS Filters v1.3.0 release on 9 December 2015 (Till)
- 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.
- cups-browsed: Auto-create queues for PCL-5c/e printers but
not for HP inkjet printers (which also advertise themselves
as PCL printers).
- cups-browsed, sys5ippprinter: Recognize PCL-5c/e printers
not only by the application/vnd.hp-pcl MIME type but also by
application/pcl and application/x-pcl.
