foomatic-filters (4.0.4-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- Removed dependency on libgs to avoid license conflicts in the future
and to make packaging easier.
- Made more clear that foomatic-filters is released under GPL 2 or later.
- Made suppression of CUPS accounting PostScript code into a PostScript
data stream requested by the PPD file actually working (LP: #513690).
- Added NULL pointer check to avoid segfault when custom margins option
is added to the PPD file via the alignmargins script (Upstream bug #413,
Debian bug #539676).
- Make incoming PDF which needs to be converted to PostScript due to
requirements of the driver really converted with Poppler's pdftops
(LP: #463059).
- When building the driver command line do not use the
empty code fields of automatically generated choices of
numerical options of Foomatic-based PPDs (Upstream bug #399).
* 10_foomatic-rip-use-poppler-pdftops-with-cups.patch,
20_foomatic-rip-suppress-page-accounting.patch: Removed patches with
upstream fixes.
* debian/copyright: Fixed license info: foomatic-filters is under GPL 2 or
later.
* debian/control: Removed build dependency on libgs-dev, foomatic-rip
does not need libgs any more.

foomatic-filters (4.0.3-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low
* debian/patches/20_foomatic-rip-suppress-page-accounting.dpatch:
Make the insertion of page accounting code into PostScript data streams
actually suppressed if instructed appropriately by the PPD file
(especially for Foomatic/Postscript PPDs) (LP: #513690).

foomatic-filters (4.0.3-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low
* debian/patches/10_foomatic-rip-use-poppler-pdftops-with-cups.patch:
CUPS manipulates $PATH when calling filters and this makes foomatic-rip
calling CUPS' pdftops instead of Poppler's pdftops. This fails and so
always the awkward Ghostscript/pswrite fallback is used, producing
huge temporary PostScript files which the following process (driver
or PostScript printer) renders very slowly or does not render at all
due to excessive memory usage (LP: #463059).

foomatic-filters (4.0.3-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
* debian/control: Recommend poppler-utils 0.11.2 or newer, as the
PDF-to-PostScript conversion with Poppler works much better than
with Ghostscript.
