As of 5.2.11, Gutenprint no longer supports Macintosh OS X
10.5.
Upstream changes are voluminous and have many details and have
therefore been aggressively summarized. See NEWS in the sources.
* Changes from 5.2.10
1) Added support for many following dye sublimation printers.
2) Enhanced support (and bugfixes) for many dye sublimation
printers.
3) Added support for the Datamax-O'Neil PCL printers, the Performance
series (p1115, p1115s, p1120n, p1125, p1725, h8308) and the
Datamax-O'Neil Workstation printer.
Also added common Imperial and Metric label sizes to the Paper
Selection menu.
4) Added support for the following Epson inkjet printers:
EPSON L120
EPSON L210
EPSON L1800 (preliminary)
5) Add support for the following laser printer:
Kyocera FS-1135MFP
6) Canon inkjet driver enhancements:
Added support for many models and multiple enhancements.
7) Canon inkjet driver bugfixes:
6.1 Ink compression fixed
A problem with a new ink level compression added in 5.2.7 had
affected multiple printer models. The bug has been fixed in the
present release, thus all modes previously affected should work
normally.
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package acroread7: missing distfile AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.tar.gz
Package acroread8: missing distfile AdobeReader_enu-8.1.7-1.sparc.tar.gz
Package cups-filters: missing distfile cups-filters-1.1.0.tar.xz
Package dvidvi: missing distfile dvidvi-1.0.tar.gz
Package lgrind: missing distfile lgrind.tar.bz2
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Gutenprint 5.2.10 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.4 or earlier.

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
1) This release fixes an inappropriate change to the internal
library version number (.soname or equivalent) made in 5.2.8.
All distributors should immediately apply this update to their
distributions to avoid other software linking against
libgutenprint breaking.
2) Duplicate Transparency entries in the media types for Canon
iP4100 and similar printers have been removed.
3) The range of fine position adjustment of CD media has been
increased for Epson printers.
4) The German translation has been updated.
5) Canon PIXMA Pro9000 plain media high quality mode bug fix.
* 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

Kodak EasyShare G600 Printer Dock
Kodak PD-4000
Kodak PD-6000
Kodak Photo Printer
Kodak Photo Printer 500
Kodak Printer Dock Plus

2) Corrected color matching profile used for Mac OS X 10.5.x.
sRGB will now be used instead of Generic RGB. Users with work-
flows dependant on the previously used Generic RGB can select
this color profile in the print window by using ColorSync to
choose the profile rather than using VendorMatching.
9) Corrected base density for Photo Paper on printers using Claria
ink (use 20% less ink). The default results in heavy ink
puddling in some cases.
12) A problem whereby certain malformed PPD files would cause the
PostScript driver to crash has been fixed. In addition, the
PostScript driver now runs considerably faster.
