  (Closes: #570157)

[ Nicolas Boulenguez ]
* Enhance cups' init-script(Closes: #718798)
  - Specify SCRIPTNAME instead of relying on N=${0##*/} bashism
  - Replace restart_xprint() implicit parameter (success) with an
    explicit first parameter for readability
  - Replace log_begin_msg() calls by log_daemon_msg() to use the
    vendor-specific formatting
  - Clarify exit statuses handling by making sure only the result of
    start-stop-daemon is returned
  - Don't call coldplug_usb_printers when the daemon fails to start
  - Use status_of_proc from lsb-base >= 3.2.14 instead of a
    hand-written implementation
  - Unimplemented actions must return 3

[ Till Kamppeter ]

  closing, so that config files (like printers.conf) do not
  mysteriously disappear (LP: #1157972)
* In the AppArmor profile, allow execution of programs in
  /etc/cups/interfaces/, needed to make CUPS working with queues based
  on System V interface scripts, especially PPD-less queues
  auto-generated by cups-browsed from cups-filters 1.0.41 on.
* Silenced AppArmor noise from udev.conf in syslog (LP: #1229766)

    only configuring it to Yes
  - to fix a stringpool corruption issue

    handling SIGTERM
* Move manpage-translations patch at the very end of the patch series

    call fsync before closing any configuration/state files it writes
  - Added USB quirk rule for Lexmark E238
  - Closed server connections were still not always detected
  - The libusb-based USB backend now loads its list of quirks from
    files in /usr/share/cups/usb instead of using a hardcoded table
  - The scheduler did not properly register ICC color profiles with
    colord

[ Adam Conrad ]
* Update the cupsfilters tests patch to reflect the filter list in
  cups-filters 1.0.36 and fix the testsuite
* Remove versioned Suggests/Recommends on ghostscript-cups (LP: #1212239)

[ Till Kamppeter ]
* debian/local/cups-daemon.cups.upstart: Increased timeout for waiting for
  the CUPS daemon to get ready before automatically configuring printers
  from 3 sec to 30 sec, on slower systems CUPS often needs more than 3
  seconds and so the automatic printer configuration does not get done
  (LP: #933308).
* debian/cups.dirs: Create empty /etc/cups/interfaces directory
  (LP: #499585).
* debian/control: Use "Recommends: cups-filters (>= 1.0.36) |
  ghostscript-cups (>= 9.02~)" as the CUPS filters in ghostscript-cups moved
  to cups-filters.

[ Didier Raboud ]

  path
* Bump cups-filters B-D to 1.0.38 to make sure the tests run as
  expected
* Fix typo in README.Debian
* On upgrade to 1.6.4, keep a copy of obsolete stanzas to let
  cups-browsed's postinst read them. This eases the 1.5->1.6 upgrade.

[ Helge Kreutzmann ]
* Update German manpages translation.

121. By Didier Raboud on 2013-07-18

* New 1.6.3 upstream release:
