* Changes from 5.2.7
1) The Canon driver has been significantly overhauled for this
release, and output (and in some cases functionality) may be
significantly different from previous releases. We expect to
perform further work in future releases. Specific changes
include:
[Massive list of Canon printers with changes]
2) New printers supported in this release:
[many]
3) A problem whereby printing did not work at all on some Linux
distributions has been fixed (3299815 CUPS PPD broken on Linux).
4) A crash with the EPSON Stylus Photo R3000 has been fixed.
5) Printing on the Epson Stylus NX200, SX200, and SX205 is believed
to be corrected.
6) A build problem with libgutenprintui2 and testpattern on certain
platforms has been fixed.
7) Chinese (Mandarin), Galician, and Ukrainian translations have
been added.
8) (API) Added function stp_vars_copy_from() to override settings in
one settings object with those in another.
They already weren't bl3'd in, so this is to ensure they aren't
accidentally picked up (as happens on Mac OS X).
It remains to optionize them or (better) make split packages.

MuPDF 1.0 (2012-04-24)
The 1.0 release is here!
MuPDF 1.0 RC1 (2012-03-29)
The 1.0 release rapidly approaches! This version brings with it a whole host of features, including:
Removal of all global variables: we now pass a context pointer
through the code freeing us from the use of globals within the
library.
Multi-threaded operation: while MuPDF does not require a thread
library, hooks are in place so that if one is used, significant
speedups can be gained from using multiple cores to render.
New error handling: a portable exception-like system is used
to allow neater handling of errors. This leads to more stability
and better resilience to broken files.
Public/Private API: the API has undergone a significant revision
(required by some of the above changes, plus renaming/revising
for clarity and consistency), and has been split into public
and private headers. The plan is that the public portion of
the API should remain much more static in future.
Improved Text Extraction device: a cleaner API to the experimental
text extraction device, offering a list of styles, and more
cleanly delineated content.
Documentation: All public header entry points/structures are
now documented and overviews of how to call the library to
render pages both in single and multi-threaded mode are given.
A new scavenging memory manager; makes much better use of the
memory available by freeing cached items 'just in time'.
Many, many, bugfixes.
This is such a large and significant version that we're doing a
release candidate first to allow us to correct any obvious bugs
that are found. Please try it and let us know how you get on!

The perl man page generation script has an unnecessary file type check
that causes no man pages to be generated on DragonFly and possibly other
platforms.
After properly identifying the template file, it checks to see if it's type
nroff, troff, or groff. On DragonFly it is type "ASCII". Just skip the
check completely, the templates were extracted from the verified tarball.
Apparently references to man/cat* on the PLIST are now being filtered out
by PKG_DEVELOPER=yes. Now there is an error that cat pages are present
without being on the PLIST when actually they are.
So remove the installation of the jcabc2ps cat page despite there being no
man page version.
HPLIP (Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging & Printing) is an HP-developed
solution for printing, scanning, and faxing with HP inkjet and laser
based printers in Linux.
The HPLIP project provides printing support for 1,980 printer models,
including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy),
Business Inkjet, LaserJet, Edgeline MFP, and LaserJet MFP. See [1]
for more information on supported printers.

changes:
-Addition of the GiveLife Color System(R) swatch palettes
-Addition of undo steps for path operations and page moving
-Enhancements to scripter
-Translation updates
-Relocation of profiles and swatches to the share directory
-bugfixes
pkgsrc note: switched from lcms1 to lcms2 -- this was not necessary
technically, but it is harder to keep cmake from picking up lcms2
if both versions are present
Based on wip/tex-svninfo packaged by Christopher M. Fuhrman.
A package for incorporating the values of Subversion keywords
into typeset documents. Information about Subversion (a
replacement for CVS) is available from
http://subversion.tigris.org/
v1.1.0 (25th March 2012)
- new PageState class for handling common state tracking in page receivers
- see PageTextReceiver for example usage
- various bugfixes to support reading more PDF dialects
This collection of tools includes: support for short commands
starting with @, macros to sanitise the OT1 encoding of the
cmtt fonts; a 'do after' command; improved footnote
support; mathenv for various alignment in maths; list
handling; mdwmath which adds some minor changes to LaTeX
maths; a rewrite of LaTeX's tabular and array environments;
verbatim handling; and syntax diagrams.
This package allows you to typeset pseudocode in the style of
Introduction to Algorithms, Second edition, by Cormen,
Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein. The package was written by the
authors. You use the commands the same way the package's author
did when writing the book, and your output will look just like
the pseudocode in the text.
