Overview

Request 1072656 accepted

- Updated to 4.15
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.15 (2023-03-07) [stable]
* Features:
- Replace the 'psmandup' utility with simpler 'lp2' to directly print
documents to a simplex printer.
- Remove the outdated 'psset' and 'fixnt', and simplify 'fixps' to
always process its input with Ghostscript.
- Use libpaper's paper sizes. This includes user-defined paper sizes
when using libpaper 2. It is still possible to define custom margins
using "Medium:" specifications in the configuration file, and the
one size defined by a2ps that libpaper does not know about, Quarto, is
retained for backwards compatiblity, and as an example.
* Documentation
- Remove some obsolete explanations.
- Reformat --help output consistently to 80 columns.
- Some English fixes.
* Bug fixes:
- Avoid a crash when a medium is not specified; instead, use the default
libpaper size (configured by the user or sysadmin, or the locale
default).
- Fix some other potential crashes and compiler warnings.
- Fixes for security bugs CVE-2001-1593, CVE-2015-8107 and CVE-2014-0466.
- Minor bugs fixed.
* Predefined delegations:
- Remove support for defunct Netscape and proprietary Acrobat Reader.
- Add lpr wrapper for automatic detection of different printing systems,
including CUPS support.
* Encodings:
- Use libre fonts for KOI-8.
- Composite fonts support.
