Overview
Request 708334 accepted
- 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.
