* Wed Oct 16 2024 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Drop rcFOO symlinks for CODE16 (PED-266).
* Fri Feb 02 2024 Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@suse.com>
- Removed outdated and obsoleted "Requires: cups 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 <jsmeix@suse.com>
- 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).

- 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.

* Wed Mar 01 2023 Adam Majer <adam.majer@suse.de>
- 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 <mwilck@suse.com>
- Spec file: Removed URL from source line
* Thu Jun 09 2022 mwilck@suse.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 mwilck@suse.com
- Enable OBS source services. Stay at 1.28.12 for now.
* add _service file
* Tue Mar 22 2022 Aurélien Joga <aurelienjoga@gmail.com>
- 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 <jsegitz@suse.com>
- 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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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

- 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,

* 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).

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 <javier@opensuse.org>
- 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 <mwilck@suse.com>
- 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 <idonmez@suse.com>
- Add add-cstring-include.patch to include cstring for memcpy
and strcmp
* Wed Jun 12 2019 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- 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 <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- 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 <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- 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 jsmeix@suse.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,
cups@cups.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.lie@gmail.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.lie@gmail.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:

* Tue Dec 18 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.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.lie@gmail.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 <tchvatal@suse.com>
- 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 alarrosa@suse.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 '@'
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.lie@gmail.com
- Add pdftoopvp_Silence-compiler-warning.patch: pdftoopvp: Silence
compiler warning.
* Wed May 02 2018 luizluca@gmail.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.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 olaf@aepfle.de
- Obsolete also debuginfo subpackages of the packages marked as
Obsoletes in this specfile (bsc#1047897)
* Sat Sep 16 2017 zaitor@opensuse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 (jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 zaitor@opensuse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.com
- Reenable threads, seems to work fine. If there are thread
related issues assign the bug to me.
* Thu Mar 12 2015 jsmeix@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.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 tchvatal@suse.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 jsmeix@suse.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).
* Mon Aug 25 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- A /usr/bin/foomatic-rip -> /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
symlink is added to the cups-filters-foomatic-rip sub-package
to make our lsb RPM installable again (bnc#892604).
LSB currently requires /usr/bin/foomatic-rip but future LSB
will require /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip see
https://lsbbugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3900
* Mon Aug 25 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.58
Changes in 1.0.58 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* pdftoraster: Changed ICC profile get function to accept a
PPD fallback profile.
* pdftoraster: Fixed handling of cupsColorSpaces 18,19,20.
* rastertopdf: Grayscale color conversion now properly inverts
bits.
* rastertopdf: Implemented basic 8bit->8bit color space
conversions.
* rastertopdf: Added black point compensation.
* rastertopdf: Added handling of color rendering intent.
* gstoraster, imagetoraster, pdftoraster, rastertopclx,
rastertopdf, foomatic-rip: Use color management functions in
libcupsfilters.
* libcupsfilters: Modified code formatting and documentation in
the color management functions.
* libcupsfilters: Fixed string handling and added debug log
messages in the color management functions.
* libcupsfilters: Fixed Adobe RGB matrix for proper rendering
(transpose)
* libcupsfilters: Moved color management functions from the
individual filters to the libcupsfilters library.
- Version upgrade to 1.0.57
Changes in 1.0.57 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* 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 gracefully (Ubuntu bug #1356405).
- Version upgrade to 1.0.56
Changes in 1.0.56 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* Major regression fix in cups-browsed (introduced in 1.0.55
by no longer creating a local queue pointing to a remote
raw queue that causes no longer creating local queues for
traditional CUPS Browsing remote CUPS queues):
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
(linuxfoundation.org bug #1223).
* 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.
* 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
* Wed Jul 30 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.55
Changes in 1.0.55 (excerpt - for details see the NEWS file):
* pdftopdf: Fixed manual duplex by adding a blank page to even
pages if the total number of pages of the document is odd.
Otherwise the last page of the document would stay in
the input tray. This fixes also a side effect as the set of
even pages reducing to a zero page job if the job consists
of only one page, making Poppler's pdftops error out
(Ubuntu bug #1340435).
* cups-browsed: Do not mark a discovered printer as already
provided by another server when the other server's queue has
"disappeared" status. This queue can be from the same server
before it changed its name.
* cups-browsed: Do not create a local queue pointing to a
remote raw queue (Ubuntu bug #1335211).
* foomatic-rip, imagetoraster, pdftoraster, rastertopclx,
rastertopdf: Added colord "device_inhibit" support for
color-managed filters.
* bannertopdf: Fixed "Printer Location" and "Driver Version"
entries on test page/banners (linuxfoundation.org bug #1209).
* bannertopdf: Added new PDF template files which contain the
text strings appropriate to the banners, before the banners
were all equal, without text (linuxfoundation.org bug #1209).
* pstopdf: Use "grep -E" instead of "grep -P" as the latter
generates executable code and executes it, requiring
"execmem" privileges which could be not available in some
security policies. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the
patch (Red Hat bug #1079534).
* pdftoraster: Fixed segfault caused by introduction of
"no-color-management" option (linuxfoundation.org bug #1214).
* libcupsfilters: Let cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() also accept
"pwg-raster-document-type" settings with hyphen between
color space name and color depth.
- Our separated source files classified.pdf confidential.pdf
secret.pdf standard.pdf topsecret.pdf unclassified.pdf (see
the entry below dated "Thu Jun 12 17:27:56 CEST 2014") are
no longer needed because it is now provided in the upstream
sources (see "linuxfoundation.org bug #1209" entries above).
- Added CVE-2014-4336 CVE-2014-4337 bnc#883543 and
CVE-2014-4338 bnc#883536 to the matching entry below
dated "Mon Apr 28 10:49:21 CEST 2014" because those CVEs
and bncs have not been known at that time (cf. bnc#871327
therein comment#47 and bnc#883307 therein comment#2).
* Thu Jun 12 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Have different header texts for the PDF-BANNER printouts
(same headers as on the CUPS <= 1.5.4 banner pages):
Provide PDF template files classified.pdf confidential.pdf
secret.pdf standard.pdf topsecret.pdf unclassified.pdf and
modify the matching /usr/share/cups/banners/ template files
accordingly to use those PDF templates
(see https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209).
* Wed Jun 11 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.54
Changes in 1.0.54 (excerpt):
* pdftoraster: Support for output in the color spaces 18
(CUPS_CSPACE_SW, sGray), 19 (CUPS_CSPACE_SRGB, sRGB), and 20
(CUPS_CSPACE_ADOBERGB, Adobe RGB). No color management
appropriate to these color spaces is added yet.
* rastertopdf: Added new filter to convert PWG Raster input
into a PDF file (using QPDF). This filter makes CUPS
supporting the PWG Raster input format which is required to
be supported by IPP Everywhere printers, making a shared
CUPS queue emulating an IPP Everywhere printer. This is a
first implementation which supports the black, RGB, CMYK,
sGray, sRGB, and Adobe RGB color spaces (all mapped to
DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, and DeviceCMYK resp. in the PDF
output) with 1, 8, and 16 bits per component color
depth. sGray, sRGB, and Adobe RGB are currently also mapped
to DeviceGray and DeviceRGB and do not have the correct
color management yet, so color output is not absolutely
correct. Note that mime.types of CUPS up to 1.7.2 has a bug
which prevents PWG Raster to be recognized, the
"priority(100)" of the rule needs to be changed to
"priority(150)".
* cups-browsed: Create local queues also to access classes on
remote CUPS servers (Ubuntu bug #1313741).
* cups-browsed: Let a newly discovered printer not only
overtaking an existing printer entry if it is from the same
host (usually IPP -> IPPS) or without host entry
(unconfirmed local queue from previous cups-browsed session)
but also if it is marked disappeared. So printer entries get
correctly migrated when things like a host name change of
the remote server happen.
* cups-browsed: Always do case-insensitive comparing of
strings, as CUPS queue names and URIs are case-insensitive
(CUPS STR #4411).
For details see the NEWS file.
* Mon Apr 28 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.53
Changes in 1.0.53:
* foomatic-rip: Fixed segfault when creating log file, see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1206
* cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX: Fix on usage of the
"BrowseAllow" directive in cups-browsed.conf. Before, if the
argument of a "BrowseAllow" directive is not understood it
is treated as the directive not having been there, allowing
any host if this was the only "BrowseAllow" directive. Now
we treat this as a directive which no host can fulfill, not
allowing any host if it was the only one. No "BrowseAllow"
directive means access for all, as before, see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204
(CVE-2014-4338 bnc#883536 and bnc#871327 therein comment#23
and subsequent comments).
* cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX: Further improvement on the fix
in 1.0.51 as it was insufficient. In addition, some fixes
against OOB access are done (CVE-2014-4336 CVE-2014-4337
bnc#883543 and bnc#871327 therein comment#30 and subsequent
comments).
- Removed the "# BrowseAllow cups.example.com" example line in
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf because hostnames do not work, see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1205
* Thu Apr 24 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Split cups-browsed into a cups-filters-cups-browsed sub-package
so that cups-browsed can be installed without all the other
stuff from cups-filters (bnc#873204).
- Have libcupsfilters.so.* in the cups-filters-ghostscript
sub-package because gstoraster is linked with libcupsfilters
so that now cups-filters-foomatic-rip requires
cups-filters-ghostscript which is still o.k. because
cups-filters-ghostscript does not require cups-filters
(cf. the entry dated "Thu Apr 10 10:22:25 CEST 2014" below).
- Do no longer rename installed /usr/share/cups/banners/* files
and the installed /usr/share/cups/data/testprint
(cf. the entry dated "Fri Aug 30 12:53:57 CEST 2013" below)
because since CUPS 1.7.2 those files are no longer provided
in our cups RPM package because since CUPS >= 1.6
the CUPS banners and testprint do no longer work because
there is no longer a filter for Linux that can convert
the CUPS banner files. Since CUPS >= 1.6 only the banners
and testprint in cups-filters work (bnc#873376).
For CUPS <= 1.5.4 (where CUPS banners and testprint works)
this does not make a difference because the cups-filters
main package conflicts with CUPS <= 1.5.4.
* Thu Apr 10 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Have libcupsfilters.so.* in the cups-filters-foomatic-rip
sub-package because foomatic-rip is linked with libcupsfilters
so that it must be in the cups-filters-foomatic-rip sub-package
to ensure the cups-filters-foomatic-rip sub-package can be
installed on its own without a RPM requirement for the
cups-filters main package which would cause conflicts
with CUPS <= 1.5.4 in particular when building packages
with CUPS <= 1.5.4 that have foomatic-rip as build requirement
(e.g. hplip via "BuildRequires: foomatic-filters").
* Tue Apr 08 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.52
Changes in 1.0.52 (excerpt):
* texttopdf, imagetopdf, imagetoraster:
Range-check paper dimensions and margins taken
from the PPD file and correct them if needed, see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195
* Thu Apr 03 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.51
* cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX to prevent arbitrary code
injection into the System V interface scripts generated for
queues for discovered native IPP printers by a malicious IPP
print service with forged make/model and/or PDL string
(CVE-2014-2707 bnc#871327).
- Version upgrade to 1.0.50
Changes in 1.0.50 (excerpt):
* pdftops: Let old HP LaserJet printers (model number without
letter, like "LaserJet 3" or "LaserJet 4000") use Poppler
instead of Ghostscript.
* pdftops: Improved workaround for Toshiba printers. Instead
of using Poppler do not emit TrueType fonts with Ghostscript.
* Thu Mar 27 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Provide foomatic-filters with the exact foomatic-rip version
that is included in cups-filters and conflict with any other
foomatic-filters version (bnc#870621).
* Wed Mar 26 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Upgrade to current tarball cups-filters-1.0-20140326.tar.gz
that is is version 1.0.49 plus the fix for
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187
"percent-encode component parts of the CUPS device-URI"
see also (bnc#869692).
- Prepare spec files to build both releases and current tarballs
easily in the future by using special different version strings.
* Tue Mar 25 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.49
Changes in 1.0.49 (excerpt):
* pdftops: Fixed typo which always made PostScript level 2 being
generated when using Poppler's pdftops.
Changes in 1.0.48 (excerpt):
* cups-browsed: Fix for a crash which happens on Bonjour reports
of printers without "product", "usb_MDL", and "ty" fields
Changes in 1.0.47 (excerpt):
* pdftoopvp: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6474, CVE-2013-6475,
and CVE-2013-6476: Introductionof gmallocn and gmallocn3
to protect against arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the "lp" user via malicious PDF files. Also
restrict the directory from where OPVP drivers can get
loaded.
* urftopdf: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6473: Two heap-based
buffer overflow flaws in urftopdf. If a malicious URF file
were processed it could lead to arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the "lp" user.
* cups-browsed: Check for changes of the URI of a queue which
we have created and correct the URI if needed
Changes in 1.0.46 (excerpt):
* gstoraster: Ignore SIGCHLD, rely on waitpid instead and
fix two instances of insufficient EINTR handling.
Changes in 1.0.45 (excerpt):
* cups-browsed: Added auto-shutdown feature for on-demand use
of cups-browsed (for example on mobile devices). With auto
shutdown active, cups-browsed terminates after a certain
time interval (30 sec by default) without having any remote
printer to make available locally. The mode can be turned
on, turned off (default) or set to automatically be off
while avahi-daemon is running an on otherwise (controlled by
avahi-daemon running on-demand). The mode and the timeout
interval can be selected by command line options, the
configuration file, and sending signals to cups-browsed
(on/off only).
* cups-browsed: To make Bonjour-discovered printers locally
available avahi-daemon does not need to be started before
cups-browsed and does not need to stay continuously running
while cups-browsed is running. Bonjour-discovered printers
are now added whenever avahi-daemon starts and removed
whenever avahi-daemon stops and cups-browsed keeps running.
* pdftops: Log command lines of renderer (Ghostscript, pdftops,
pdftocairo, acroread) and of pstops in CUPS' error_log (in
debug mode).
Changes in 1.0.44 (excerpt):
* README: Documented the "hybrid" choice for the PDF renderer
in the pdftops filter.
Changes in 1.0.43 (excerpt):
* cups-browsed: When automatically setting up a PPD-less print
queue for an IPP network printer add make/model info as an
additional "make-and-model" command line option to the call
of the pdftoippprinter filter, this way filters can do
make/model-specific exceptions.
* pdftops: Ignore "landscape", "orientation-requested",
"fit-to-page", and any page geometry options. The first two
do not make sense on PDF input and therefore should only be
used in ...topdf filters used before pdftopdf, the others
are already taken care of by pdftopdf so that pdftops gets
pages with print-ready page geometry.
* pdftopdf: If there is no PPD file or no
"*LandscapeOrientation:" keyword in the PPD file, rotate
counterclockwise, not clockwise to fit a landscape-oriented
page on a portrait-oriented sheet.
* pstopdf: Support for the "landscape" and
"orientation-requested" options.
* pdftops: After fixing the output of rotated PDF pages
(usually landscape-oriented pages rotated by pdftopdf) in
Poppler (Poppler/freedesktop.org bug #72312) corrected the
use of "pdftops -origpagesizes" in pdftops appropriately.
Changes in 1.0.42 (excerpt):
* pdftoraster: Take into account rotate field in PDF header,
when pdftopdf rotates a page to fit the paper it sets the
rotate field and does not swap the width and height entries.
* cups-browsed: Fixed several memory leaks by adding missing
free() calls and removing an unneeded strdup().
* foomatic-rip: Moved foomatic-rip's upstream home from the
foomatic-filters package to cups-filters, to make it easier
for distributions to ship and maintain a complete printing
stack and also to make upstream maintenance and development
easier.
* foomatic-rip: Removed support for all the non-CUPS printing
environments as they are discontinued upstream. Now
foomatic-rip only works as a CUPS filter and in a
spooler-less direct mode, where the latter is mainly
for testing and debugging.
Changes in 1.0.41 (excerpt):
* cups-browsed: Added support for automatic PPD-less setup of
print queues for IPP printers discovered on the network via
Bonjour. Supported are printers with known languages (PWG
Raster, PDF, PostScript, PCL XL, PCL 5c/e), especially also
IPP Everywhere printers. This functionality is especially
ment for mobile devices to be able to print without printer
setup tool and without printer driver/PPD collection.
* pdftoippprinter: New filter for PPD-less printing. The filter
will be configured as System-V interface script for a print
queue for a discovered IPP network printer generated by
cups-browsed.
* cups-browsed: Fixed socket leaks in recent IPP subscriptions
changes.
- Since cups-filters version 1.0.42 foomatic-rip is also
provided by cups-filters so that there is a file conflict
with the foomatic-filters package (both provide
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip and
/usr/share/man/man1/foomatic-rip). Therefore foomatic-rip
is separated in the sub-package cups-filters-foomatic-rip
and only that sub-package conflicts with foomatic-filters.
* Thu Mar 13 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Added "Recommends: poppler-tools" because /usr/bin/pdftops
(provided by poppler-tools) is needed (but not required
for non-PostScript printers) to print PDFs on PostScript
printers (bnc#868148).
* Thu Jan 30 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Moved /usr/lib/libcupsfilters.so /usr/lib/libcupsfilters.so
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcupsfilters.pc /usr/include/fontembed/*
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libfontembed.pc /usr/include/cupsfilters/*
to the cups-filters-devel sub-package to fix rpmlint
"devel-file-in-non-devel-package" errors.
* Fri Jan 10 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Split /usr/share/cups/ppdc/escp.h and /usr/share/cups/ppdc/pcl.h
into a cups-filters-devel sub-package and let cups-filters-devel
conflict with cups-devel < 1.6. because up to CUPS 1.5.4
those files are provided by the cups-devel package
(see the next entry below).
* Thu Jan 09 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
- Conflict with CUPS < 1.6 because up to CUPS 1.5.4
the following files are provided by the cups binary RPM package
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtoescpx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtopclx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/imagetops
/usr/lib/cups/filter/imagetoraster
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoescpx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertopclx
/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttops
/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
/usr/lib/cups/backend/serial
and the following files are provided by the cups-devel package
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/escp.h
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/pcl.h
* Thu Dec 19 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Split binary RPM sub-package cups-filters-ghostscript
which is needed for Ghostscript version upgrade to 9.10.
Since Ghostscript version 9.10 the CUPS filters
gstoraster and gstopxl are removed from Ghostscript.
Those filters are now provided by cups-filters.
The binary RPM sub-package cups-filters-ghostscript
provides only those CUPS filters for Ghostscript.
This way cups-filters-ghostscript can be used
with the traditional CUPS up to version 1.5.4
where the other filters, backends, and cups-browsed
from cups-filters would cause conflicts because
CUPS <= 1.5.4 already provides them. In contrast
for CUPS versions since 1.6 the whole cups-filters
is usually needed (but not strictly required).
* Wed Oct 30 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.0.40
Changes in 1.0.40 (excerpt):
* pdftops: Introduced new "hybrid" renderer: Here usually
Ghostscript is used, but if the printer is a Brother,
Minolta, or Konica Minolta Poppler's pdftops gets used. This
is a quirk rule to work around bugs in the PS interpreters
of the printers.
Changes in 1.0.39 (excerpt):
* pdftops: Fix for landscape PDF handling.
Changes in 1.0.38 (excerpt):
* pdftops: Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the Ghostscript command
line for quicker processing of embedded bitmaps.
* pstopdf: Added "-dUseCIEColor" to the Ghostscript command
line to assure compatibility with newer Ghostscript
versions (9.08 and newer).
Changes in 1.0.37 (excerpt):
* Added example configuration files for systemd and Upstart, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c46
(obsoletes cups-browsed.service).
* Build system: Make sure that gstoraster gets linked against
the libcupsfilters of the currently built package and not
of the system (obsoletes broken-autotools.patch).
* cupsfilters.convs: Reworked the cost factors of the filters
to avoid bogus filter chains like pstotiff|imagetopdf
instead of pstopdf|pdftopdf for PostScript->PDF, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c53
* cups-browsed: Fixed building with CUPS 1.5.x and older,
ippSetVersion() was missing under the accessor function
definitions for backward compatibility
(obsoletes cups-15-compat.patch).
For details see the NEWS and README files.
- cups-browsed.service is obsolete (provided in upstream sources).
- broken-autotools.patch is obsolete (fixed in upstream sources).
- cups-15-compat.patch is obsolete (fixed in upstream sources).
* Fri Aug 30 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Rename installed /usr/share/cups/banners/* files
and the installed /usr/share/cups/data/testprint
because those files are also provided by CUPS
but CUPS provides them in a different format and
I not want to overwrite CUPS files but I do not like
to delete the cups-filters version of those files
instead I like to provide them at least for now as well
so that we could evaluate which ones we may use finally.
* Wed Aug 21 2013 tchvatal@suse.com
- Version bump to 1.0.36:
* new manpages
* many small adjustments see NEWS
- Remove obsolete patch fix_cups-browsed_init_script.patch
- Remove obsolete patch BZR_revision_7085_7084.diff
- Add new patch to compat with old cups cups-15-compat.patch
- Add new patch to fix borked autotools broken-autotools.patch
- Adjust the service call for older distros it was in /sbin
- Enable tests
* Fri Aug 02 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Added support for systemd (mainly done by tchvatal@suse.com).
cups-browsed.service is openSUSE's systemd unit file.
Nevertheless a traditional SysVInit script
/etc/init.d/cups-browsed is still available.
* Tue Jul 30 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- BZR_revision_7085_7084.diff makes the code working
with Poppler >= 0.23.x see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1144
- Version upgrade to cups-filters-1.0.35
that provides in particular various bugfixes,
for details see the NEWS and README files.
* Fri Apr 19 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to cups-filters-1.0.34
that provides in particular various enhancements for
cups-browsed, for details see the NEWS and README files.
* Wed Mar 13 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to cups-filters-1.0.30
- cups-filters-1.0.30 does no longer build for openSUSE 12.1
because configure requests 'glib-2.0 >= 2.30.2' but
version of GLib in openSUSE 12.1 is 2.30.1.
* Fri Jan 04 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to cups-filters-1.0.29
that adds cups-browsed.
- fix_cups-browsed_init_script.patch
adds LSB header line to cups-browsed init script
otherwise the openSUSE brp-55-boot-scripts aborts build
with "ERROR: found one or more broken init or boot scripts"
and this patch changes "$avahi-daemon $cups" to "avahi cupsd"
because there is no $avahi-daemon $cups in /etc/insserv.conf
but /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon "Provides: avahi"
and /etc/init.d/cups "Provides: cupsd"
otherwise RPMLINT reports "init-script-undefined-dependency"
and this patch removes runlevel 4 from Default-Start
otherwise RPMLINT reports "init-script-runlevel-4".
* Fri Jan 04 2013 mmeister@suse.com
- Adapted and simplified spec file to make it build.
* Wed Oct 17 2012 p.drouand@gmail.com
