cups-filters (1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
- pdftops: Allow selection whether Ghostscript or Poppler is used
at runtime, setting the "pdftops-renderer" option to "gs" or
"pdftops". This way one can switch to Poppler per-queue if there
are incompatibilities with certain PostScript printers.
- pdftops: Allow setting an upper limit for the image rendering
resolution, also at runtime, setting the option
"pdftops-max-image-resolution-default" to the desired limit in dpi.
"0" means no limit.
- pdftops: Fixed crash by wrong usage of sizeof() function when adding
"Collate" to the fifth command line argument for the "pstops" CUPS
filter call (LP: #982675).
- pdftops: Removed newline from copies value when reading it from
the "%%PDFTOPDFNumCopies" entry of the incoming PDF file.
- pdftops: Silenced compiler warning about ignoring the return
value of the write() function.
- pdftops: Added a crash guard.
- pdftops: Start determining the printing resolution with
cupsRasterInterpretPPD(), this is the most reliable as often
the choice names of the "Resolution" option are marketing names
with higher numerical values than the actual resolution. Also
ignore error exit values of cupsRasterInterpretPPD() as the
function can error out after having found the resolution
(LP: #984082).
- pdftops: If printing resolution is determined by
cupsRasterInterpretPPD() do not stick on 100 dpi if the
resolution cannot be determined (LP: #984082).
* debian/rules: Set default renderer for the pdftops filter to Poppler
due to many printer's buggy interpreters having problems with GhostScript's
PostScript and set image rendering resolution limit of the pdftops filter
to 360 dpi to prevents slow processing by the printer if very high
resolutions are used or if the printing resolution is mis-detected by the
pdftops filter (LP: #668800, LP #951627 (comment #30), LP: #998087,
LP: #992982 (comments #26, #27, #30, #31), LP: #997728, LP: #994477,
LP: #998087, LP: #978120, LP: #862167).

* Drop libtiff5-dev, just use libtiff-dev, this fixes the FTBFS due to

cups-filters (1.0.15-0bzr1) precise; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- pdftops: Suppress image compression only for Brother printers as they
really need this measure to print at all. This accelerates printer-
internal job processing on most other printers (tested on HP and
Kyocera). Also suppress page compression on Kyocera printers, this
works around a bug in Kyocera's PostScript interpreters which makes
printing pages with images very slow (LP: #977912).

cups-filters (1.0.14-0bzr1) precise; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- pdftops: Determine printing resolution from the PPD file and supply
it on the Ghostscript or pdftops (Poppler) command line, so that
the renderer does the image rendering with a resolution matching the
printer's resolution. This avoids too slow processing of the jobs
by the printer's built-in PostScript interpreter. In addition
a default resolution of 300 dpi is used for PPDs without any hint
of the printer's resolution, as most PostScript lasers use multiples
of 300 dpi as resolution (LP: #977912).

cups-filters (1.0.11-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
- Updated all code copied from Poppler to the current state of Poppler,
to fix any bugs or security vulnerabilities which were in that
Poppler code.
- Made Poppler-based PDF filters building with various versions of
Poppler.
- Deactivated NIME conversion rules which are not used by the PDF-
based printing workflow.
- Added generic PPD for native PDF printers.
- Cleaned up sample PPD file HP-Color_LaserJet_CM3530_MFP-PDF.ppd.
- imagetopdf: Added support for native PDF printers.
- imagetopdf, imagetoraster: Let image input "scale to fit"
by default. This makes photo printing via AirPrint work,
as the iOS devices send JPEG but do not allow setting options.
- pdftops: Generally do not compress fonts and images, and
also do not do CCITT compression for bitmap glyphs to make
the PostScript output more compatible with buggy PostScript
interpreters. The output gets 30-50% longer but will work on
many more different printer models. Problems were also
discovered on HP and not only on Brother (LP: #960666).
[ Martin Pitt ]
* Drop debian/patches/poppler-pre-0.18.patch and patch machinery around it.
It's not necessary with the current upstream version any more.

incompatibilities and interpreter bugs. Now sending a job with
"lpr -o psdebug" makes the filter sending uncompressed PostScript.
- pdftops: Additional workaround for a bug in the PostsSript interpreters
of Brother printers, calling Ghostscript with special command line
options (LP: #955553).
- pdftopdf: Correct handling of PJL output and page_log messages on
native PDF printers and on printers using a driver after pdftopdf
(including PostScript printers).
- texttopdf: Full fontconfig support, several bug fixes and improvements
to make the output work on more different PDF interpreters, including
built-in interpreters in printers.
- Fixed cupsfilters.drv PPD generator and rastertopclx filter to make the
supported HP DesignJet printers actually work.
- parallel backend: Use same method as CUPS to overcome infinite loop
on side channel errors (LP: #936647, CUPS STR #4044).
- "make clean" and "make distclesn" work also correctly now when called
repeatedly (Closes: #663564).
