* debian/patches/25_fix-driver-in-printer-xml-without-driver-xml.patch:
  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
  "Foomatic/Gutenprint" driver entries in the printer setup tools
  (LP: #373371).

* debian/patches/20_fix-jcl-options-as-members-of-composite-options.patch:
  Upstream fix in the PPD generator: In Foomatic PPDs JCL options were
  broken when they where member options of a composite options. In addition
  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
  LP: #361772 which usually is worked around by the PDF printing workflow.

debian/foomatic-db-engine.postinst: Silenced non-fatal error messages when
post-install script updates PPDs and there are PPDs not belonging to
a CUPS queue in /etc/cups/ppd/ (LP: #345866).

debian/patches/10_string-password-options-and-driver-description-in-ppds-fix.patch:
fixes for the generated PPD files:
o The "*ParamCustom..." lines in the PPDs were incorrectly generated for
string and password options (Upstream bug #297).
o The short description of the driver was inserted into the PPD files
in a way that if it is longer than 80 characters the resulting PPD
violates the PPDF specs.

debian/foomatic-db-engine.postinst: Let the PPD files of the existing
print queues get automatically updated after each installation of this
package.

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.

New upstream release
o Use "Oki" instead of "Okidata" when normalizing manufacturer names.

20. By Till Kamppeter on 2008-08-13

New upstream release
o Added "*cupsFilter" line to accept PDF as input to the generated PPD
files.
o Added support for separate driver command line for PDF input
("*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF" keyword).
o Allow XML files with header lines ("<? ... ?>", "<! ... >") in the
beginning.
