Gutenprint is a package of high quality printer drivers for Linux,
BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and other UNIX-alike operating systems. In many
cases, these drivers rival or exceed the OEM drivers in quality and
functionality. Our goal is to produce the highest possible output
quality from all supported printers. To that end, we have done
extensive work on screening algorithms, color generation, and printer
feature utilization. We are continuing our work in all of these areas
to produce ever higher quality results, particularly on the
ubiquitous, inexpensive inkjet printers that are nonetheless capable
of nearly photographic output quality. Earlier versions of Gutenprint
were called gimp-print.
This package contains the base library, the Epson utility escputil,
cups support, and a gimp2 plugin.
This package contains a "development release".

changes: a number of bug fixes and improvements
Note: The default device in the gcc build is now the 'x11alpha' device
which provides antialiasing for display. To recover the old
default behaviour add '-sDEVICE=x11' to the command line.
changes:
* Tiff documents were rendered with wrong colors
* Fix endless loop when zero pages per sheet is selected
* Do not jump to the first page when reloading from command line
* Memory leak fix
* Fix printing with poppler splash backend
* Fix a crash when printing with the gnome-print dialog
* Warning fix
-translation updates
* Make output 7-bit clean
* Add support for No. 9 and No. 6 3/4 envelopes.
* Add support for many new Avery layouts
* Add a new "orientation" setup option which can be set to "portrait"
or "landscape", with "portrait" being the default.
This switches to the new 0.6 branch which is not source compatible
to 0.5.x.
Most notable changes:
-Merge xpdf 3.02 changes
-Support for Sound objects
-Support for Opening/Closing page actions
-Support for page duration
-Improve PS Tokenizer performance
-Beginning of Interactive Form support
-xpdfrc is no longer used for anything

-Lots of bugs fixed
actions on every page or on the current page. Specifically, actions
are performed after the page is composed, but before it is shipped,
so they can be used to prepare the output page in tasks like putting
watermarks in the background, setting the next page layout, etc.
then automatically generate a PLIST that says "${PKGNAME} has no files".
* If PLIST_SRC and GENERATE_PLIST are not set in a package Makefile,
and no PLIST files exist, then fail during the package build with
PKG_FAIL_REASON.
* Remove "intentionally empty" PLISTs again.
Now, the easy way to say that a package installs no files is to just
add the following to the package Makefile:
PLIST_SRC= # empty
that directly manipulate empty PLISTs.
Modify plist/plist.mk so that if the PLIST files are missing and no
GENERATE_PLIST is defined, then the package fails to build.
option in ghostscript-esp, although there it was on by default.
Here it is off by default, which is more in keeping with how the "cups" option
is generally used - it is usually off by default, and a CUPS user would
usually add "cups" to the global options.
doesn't currently pull in CUPS itself. Generally that means the
package builds without CUPS support. However, if you are
using Pkgsrc on a system with CUPS installed via some other means (E.g.
Linux with another packaging system, or even a second Pkgsrc root probably)
then things can go wrong.
I solve this case here by explicitly disabling CUPS support. For
normal cases this should mean "No change", but in exotic cases it fixes
the build and install.
Of course, there may be value in using the CUPS support, but it isn't clear
whether the right way to do that is to add a "cups" package option or to
have a second ghostscript-cups package that CUPS depends on - it kind of
looks like the latter is closer to correct at first glance.
libgnomeprint 2.18.1
* Fix a crash in Gedit caused by a typo.
(Jeremy Messenger, Joe Marcus Clarke)
* Fix compiler warnings (Damien Carberry, Michael Wolf)
* Updated translations:
- fi (Ilkka Tuohela)
- ga (Ignacio Casal Quinteiro)
- si (Danishka Navin)
- ta (Tirumurthi Vasudevan)
- vi (Pham Thanh Long)
of an emulated operating system. Instead of proliferating things like
SUSE_VERSION_REQD, NETBSD_VERSION_REQD, SOLARIS_VERSION_REQD, etc., a
package can say:
EMUL_REQD= suse>=9.1 netbsd>=2.0 solaris>=10
all in one, succinct line.
CUPS 1.2.12 fixes several file typing issues, a bad error message in the
scheduler, a web interface setting problem, and a bug in the PHP language
binding. It also includes an updated Italian translation. Changes include:
* The PHP cups_print_file() function crashed if the options array
contained non-string option values
* The image/tiff file matching rule incorrectly identified some text files
as TIFF files
* The filter(7) man page incorrectly documented the "PAGE: total #-pages"
message
* PCL text files were mis-identified as HP-GL/2 and caused the HP-GL/2
filter to hang
* When printing to a queue with user ACLs, the scheduler incorrectly
returned a quota error instead of a "not allowed to print" error
* cupsaddsmb could get in a loop if no printer drivers were installed
* cupsRasterReadHeader() did not byte-swap the header properly when
compiled with certain versions of GCC.
* The IPP backend did not send the document-format attribute for filtered
jobs
* Some PPD files could cause a crash in ppdOpen2
* The web admin interface incorrectly handled the "share printers" and
"show remote printers" settings
* The scheduler's log messages about AuthClass and AuthGroupName advised
using a replacement directive but had the wrong syntax
* Updated the PostScript/PJL and HP-GL/2 MIME rules to look in the first
4k of the file, not just the first 1k
* Updated the Italian localization
The major milestone of this release is a merge from the ESP Ghostscript
fork, used to support the CUPS printing system. This means that free
operating systems can now ship a single copy of upstream Ghostscript with
their releases. Thanks to Till Kamppeter and Mike Sweet for making this
possible.
This release also includes numerous important bug fixes over the previous
stable versions, as well as improvements to performance, memory footprint,
shading and image handling. We recommend this upgrade to all free users.
While here, add DESTDIR support.
binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native
operating system. Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more
details.
* Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing
PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition.
* Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the
emulator framework. Most of them have been tested to install and
deinstall correctly. This involves the following cleanup actions:
* Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM}
more consistently.
* Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code.
* Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc.
Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support,
and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64
uses.
* Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc. The framework will
automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux.
Specific changes to packages include:
* Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages
due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all
of the packages.
* Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any
packages.
* cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for
all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo"
instead.
* lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR}
instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find
the shared libraries.
* mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary
distributions for supported platforms.
* multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
* security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that
it's not necessary to install library symlinks into
${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib.
* www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
In addition to the usual bug fixes, there are specific performance and
quality improvements in the areas of patterns, shading and image
filtering. Also new in this release is an implementation of the Well
Tempered Screening algorithm in an output device, using Graeme
Gill's IMDI library for efficient color mapping.
pkgsrc change: use the bundled jasper as the pkgsrc one is incompatible
Major changes:
- New class option compsoc to support the IEEE Computer Society format.
- New class option captionsoff disables the display of figure/table
captions. endfloat.sty is now mentioned in the docs. Thanks to Geoff
Walker for suggesting these changes.
- Bug fixes and new interfaces.
the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GV 3.6.3 (June 2007) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
# gv is now able to work with latest ghostscript: gs 8.57
# The bug causing the version not to figure in the manual has been
fixed.
# The SIGINT signal is now masked (ignored) by gv.
# gv no more segfaults when reading a configuration file as produced by
State -> Setup Options -> Save

`getopt' gnulib module has been imported to fix this.
# gv now correctly adjust the page index window after PAGE-UP and
PAGE-DOWN events.
# gv is now able to open files with minus character beginning
filenames.
# X resources related bugs has been fixed. gv is now able to get
resources from the display database, user file, gv system database
and command line doing the Right Thing (TM).
# gv is now able to correctly understand DocumentMedia and other DSC
directives that uses postscript strings. It was not possible with
previous versions due to a bug in the postscript names scanning
routine.
* Vulnerability CVE-2006-5864 has been fixed.
* gs is now invoked with `-dFIXEDMEDIA'
* The internal gettext implementation has been renamed to `ps_gettext'
to avoid collisions with the builtin `gettext' function.

? There are troubles with 64 bits machines: the use of x-pointers to
store data should be eliminated in subsequent versions.
- Added support for per-document DVIPS_FLAGS and DVIPDFM_FLAGS.
- Avoided the use of hardcoded csh in some scripts.

Changes since 20050831:
- Xref and object stream were implemented for PDF v1.5 or higher to reduce the
size of the PDF output.
- New program "xbb" is included, which generates ".xbb" file containing the
bounding box information. For bitmap images, DVIPDFMx generates the same
result as pdfTeX if ".xbb" is used, and as DVIPDFM if ".bb" is used.
- Many bug fixes.
CUPS 1.2.11 fixes several build system, printing, PPD, and IPP conformance

Algorithm2e is an environment for writing algorithms in LaTeX2e.
An algorithm is defined as a floating object like figures. It
provides macros that allow you to create different sorts of key
words, thus a set of predefined key words is given. You can
also change the typography of the keywords.
Ruby-GNOME 2 is a set of Ruby language bindings for the various
application development libraries included with the GNOME/GTK+
environment.
Ruby/Poppler is a Ruby binding of poppler-glib.
Ruby-GNOME 2 is a set of Ruby language bindings for the various
application development libraries included with the GNOME/GTK+
environment.
Ruby/GnomePrint is a Ruby binding of libgnomeprint.
The glossaries package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries.
New entries are defined to have a name and description (and optionally
an associated symbol). Plural forms can also be specified. New
glossary styles can be defined, and preambles and postambles can be
specified. There is provision for loading a database of terms: only
terms used in the text will be added to the relevant glossary.
This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional
macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options.
The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the
macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions;
these all help use in documents where several packages define their own
sets of keys.
New features:
* Support for printer's instances.
* Support for stdint (i.e, '-') as filename from command line.
Interface improvements:
* About box's link is now clickable (#45).
* "Open" and "Save As" dialogs now use extension patterns in
addition to mime types filters (#50).
* Full screen support.
* "Save As" dialog sets the current file's name as the default
save name.
Bug fixes:
* Prevent showing the menu entry twice.
* Fixed typo that check for Poppler version 0.5.2 or higher in
order to show the index).
* The cache is emptied between file loads, so the previous
file's page are displayed.
* Changed the "Save As" dialog's button from "Open" to "Save".
* Prevent crashes in FreeBSD when searching in a document.
* Fixed some bugs rendering pages under some systems.
* Fixed problems printing documents under some systems, specially
64-bit systems.
It skips the check for the math library on Darwin because the math
functions are included in the system library. It however later aborts
because it didn't find a math library.
Work arround this by not skipping the math library check on Darwin.
The "configure" scripts now finds "/usr/lib/libm.dylib" which is
a symlink to the system library.
This is based on a suggestion by Yorick Hardy, who reports that it
improved behavior. Without the patch, the cups usb driver tries to
read status from ulpt(4) (for most printers), and this results in no
output.
pkgsrc changes: fix locale path
patch a bug in pstops's n-up handling (reported to upstream)
CUPS 1.2.10 fixes the init script used to start the scheduler, a recursion
bug in the pdftops filter, and several other issues reported after the
1.2.9 release. Changes include:

name used by the ppdmerge program from the CUPS DDK 1.1.0
* _cupsAdminSetServerSettings() did not support changing of top-level
directives as designed.
* The init script path check was broken.
* CUPS incorrectly used the attribute "notify-recipient" instead of
"notify-recicpient-uri" in several places
* Fixed a configure script bug on MirBSD
* The pdftops filter did not limit the amount of recursion of page sets
* Custom page sizes with fractional point sizes did not work
* The lpoptions command would crash when adding or removing options on a
system with no printers
CUPS 1.2.9 fixes several printing issues and scheduler crash bug.
Changes include:
* The scheduler did not use the default job-sheets (banners) for implicit
classes
* The scheduler could crash when listing complete jobs that had been
unloaded from memory
* The French localization was doubled up
* Build system fixes for several platforms
* The scheduler's openssl certificate generation code was broken on some
platforms
* The scheduler's log rotation check for devices was broken

Perry Metzger for the nudge.
flpsed is a WYSIWYG PostScript2 annotator. You can't remove or modify
existing elements of a document, but flpsed lets you add arbitrary
text lines to existing PostScript 2 documents. Added lines can later
be re-edited with flpsed. Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf one can
convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them. flpsed
is useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc. GsWidget is now
part of flpsed. flpsed is released under the GPL.
Features:
* Add arbitrary text to existing PostScript documents.
* Reedit text, that has been added with flpsed.
* The overall structure of the PostScript document is not
modified. flpsed only adds the additional text.
* Batch processing (no X11 required) to modify tagged text lines
that have been entered interactively with flpsed before. This
is very useful for repeatedly filling in forms.
* Text lines can be imported from other flpsed-modified documents.
* Import and export PDF. Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor as well.
A new bug fix release of Xfce 4.2 is available. This release is supposed to
be the last release for the 4.2 branch. It includes several fixes ported from
the current developpment branch. This release should not be confused with the
upcoming Xfce 4.4 release [1], it's a bug fix release of the previous stable
branch.
[1] Xfce 4.4.0 is already in pkgsrc-wip.
Changes:
- AUCTeX and preview-latex have been changed in order to accommodate
file names containing spaces. preview-latex now tolerates bad
PostScript code polluting the stack (like some Omega fonts).
- Support for folding of comments was added.
- The `polish' language option of the babel LaTeX package as well as the
`polski' LaTeX package are now supported. Most notably this means
that AUCTeX will help to insert quotation marks as defined by
polish.sty ("`..."') and polski.sty (,,...'').
- There has been quite a number of bug fixes to various features and
documentation across the board, most critical probably the tool bar.
