  * New upstream release
     - Rearranged gcc command line so that linking works with gcc 4.5.x
       (LP: #687973).
     - Allow generating a printer XML files also from more than one PPD file
       for the same printer with only one call of the foomatic-ppd-to-xml
       script.
     - When generating XML files, use exactly the same style as the
       OpenPrinting web server uses on daily synchronization. This avoids
       automatic BZR commits without real changes.
     - Personal comments and optional suppression of automatic driver
       assignments when generating printer XML files from PPDs with
       foomatic-ppd-to-xml.
     - Let the functions of the DB.pm Perl module not abort the whole program
       when a C helper program fails.
     - When generating PPDs with foomatic-ppdfile (also
       /usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic) handle driver names with a dash (like
       "hpijs-pcl3") correctly.
     - Documented special entities for inserting job parameters into
       renderer command line code snippets, like "&job;", "&user;", "&host;",
       "&title;", "&options;", ...
  * debian/patches/db-pm-do-not-die-on-c-helper-failure.patch,

  * debian/control: Do not recommend foomatic-db at all, as foomatic-db-engine
    makes sense without foomatic-db to build packages, especially foomatic-db.
    The system-installed foomatic-db-engine can also be used for inplace builds
    of PPDs from Foomatic data, pointing to the Foomatic data with the
    FOOMATICDB environment variable. This way we can install foomatic-db-engine
    easily with apt-get also on desktop installations where foomatic-db cannot
    be installed as it conflicts with foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. We put
    foomatic-db into Suggests: now.

  * debian/control: Demoted foomatic-db from Depends: to Recommends:. We now
    also use foomatic-db-engine to pre-build the PPDs when building
    foomatic-db.
  * debian/patches/db-pm-do-not-die-on-c-helper-failure.patch: Upstream fix
    to let the functions/methods of the DB.pm library not abort the program
    if one of the C helper programs foomatic-combo-xml or foomatic-perl-data
    fails.
  * debian/patches/fix-ppd-generation-for-driver-name-with-dash.patch:
    Upstream fix to assure that printer and driver IDs in PPD URIs are
    separated correctly if the driver name contains a dash. Before,
    foomatic:Apollo-P-2100-hpijs-pcl3.ppd got interpreted as printer
    Apollo-P-2100-hpijs and driver pcl3.

  * New upstream release
    - foomatic-printermap-to-gutenprint-xml: Use same XML indentation scheme
      as the MySQL data export on the OpenPrinting web site
    - When creating XML files from PPDs, do not add "lj5mono" to the driver
      list any more as this driver entry got removed.
    - Build system fixes.
    - Fixed some hyphen-used-as-minus lintian warnings caused by the man pages.
    - Support for new "fingerprint" parameter for the "<package>" tag.
  * debian/patches/fixPerlModulesInstall.patch,
    debian/patches/manpagesFixes.patch: Removed patches for backported
    upstream fixes.
  * debian/foomatic-db-engine.install: With the transitional package
    foomatic-filters-ppds re-introduced we need a .install file to tell the
    package build process which files should go into the foomatic-db-engine
    binary package.

  [ Didier Raboud ]
  * Re-introduce foomatic-filters-ppds as dummy package to ease migration away
    from it (Closes: #588093)
  * Putting under Debian Printing Group umbrella.

       auto-generation

       XML files for the given printer/driver pair.
     - Fixes in listing of all available PPD files for CUPS.
     - Improvements in utilities to generate XML files from PPDs.
     - Foomatic PPDs advertize a monochrome printer if a color printer is
       used with a monochrome-only driver.
     - Removed "*cupsFilter" lines for Apple, they broke printing with some
       printers.
     - Documentation updates and fixes (README file)
  * foomatic-bin.README.Debian, debian/foomatic-bin.dirs: Removed obsolete

  * debian/foomatic-db-engine.postinst: Fixed "lpstat -r" check for the
    auto update of PPDs of existing queues. "lpstat -r" exits always with
    status 0, we must check the actual output. Call lpstat, lpadmin, and
    cupsctl with "-h /var/run/cups/cups.sock" to avoid querying remote
    servers set up in /etc/cups/client.conf, and asking for passwords.
    Thanks to Martin-Éric Racine for tracking this down and the solution!
    See Debian bug #543468. Use signal names instead of numbers for trap.

    If a printer XML entry has a driver in its driver list but for which
    there is no driver XML entry, this printer/driver combo was considered
    as producing a PPD because the driver is not in the list of drivers
    without command line prototype. This leads for example to non-working

    Upstream fix in the PPD generator: In Foomatic PPDs JCL options were

    to these options not being correctly applied this made them also be
    interpreted as a PostScript options which in turn made foomatic-rip
    converting PDF jobs to PostScript. This made some printers suffering

foomatic-db-engine (4.0.0-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (4.0.0 final release, BZR rev 234)
    o PPD listing of the PPD generator for CUPS showed some wrong PPD
      file name (Upstream bug #281).
    o Improved printer search. Now searches with model number but without
      product line name also work (ex: "Ricoh MPC3500" finds the "Ricoh
      Aficio MP C3500").
    o All printers with <postscript> in their <lang> sections got listed
      as supported by the "Postscript" driver. Now explicit assignment of
      this driver is needed.
    o Generate correct CUPS PPD extensions for numerical, string, and
      password options.
    o Generate JCL options in the PPD the standard way. Use Foomatic
      keywords only if needed.
    o Fixed segfault of foomatic-perl-data if a printer XML entry has no
      functionality rating.
    o Improved recognition of printer device ID items.
    o Added new "foomatic-ppd-to-xml" tool to generate Foomatic XML files
      corresponding to a given PPD file.
    o Prevent busy loop shortening long PPD nicknames.

      files.
    o Added support for separate driver command line for PDF input
      ("*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF" keyword).
    o Allow XML files with header lines ("<? ... ?>", "<! ... >") in the
      beginning.

  * debian/patches/10_safer_default_margins.patch: Do not use zero unprintable
    margins if no margins are defined for printer, driver, or printer/driver
    combo, use safer settings: 1/4th of an inch left and right, 1/2 of an
    inch at top and bottom.

    foomatic-searchprinter utility also search for all printers of a
    given manufacturer supplying the manufacturer name with an empty model
    name, like "ricoh|".
  * debian/watch: Corrected URL.

foomatic-db-engine (3.0.2-20070719-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Added support for suppressing CUPS' page accounting on a per-driver
       basis. If a driver XML file is marked with "<nopageaccounting/>" in
       its "<execution>" section, the line "*FoomaticNoPageAccounting: True"
       is added to the PPD file to let foomatic-rip suppress inserting the
       page accounting code into the PostScript data stream. This will allow
       to turn on the page accounting of foomatic-rip by default again (bug
       LP#126139).

foomatic-db-engine (3.0.2-20070711-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Replaced "Gimp-Print" by "Gutenprint" in scripts and documentation.
     - Allow group names preceeded by asterisks
       ('*') in PPD files ("*OpenGroup: ..."/"*CloseGroup: ..." lines).
       This is needed by the PPD for the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5430
       DL, provided by KONICA MINOLTA and probably also by several other
       manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
     - Let the PPD files listed in the XML version of the overview also
       get listed in the Perl version.
     - Improved find_printer() method. Now searches of make and model
       names do not consider other characters than letters and numbers
       any more. All other characters and boundaries between letters and
       numbers are converted to single spaces.

foomatic-db-engine (3.0.2-20070303-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Bug fixes on automatic PPD generator for CUPS, especially the
       previous version listed PPD files for printers with the PostScript
       driver where the PPD files could not be generated (happened when
       the printer was not in the list of supported printers in the
       Postscript driver XML file but the printer XML file had a link to
       a manufacturer-supplied PPD, closes: LP#81787), listed ready-made
       PPDs provided by foomatic-db twice, and generated Foomatic generic
       PostScript PPDs where manufacturer-supplied PPDs were available.
