* New upstream release
   - Allow length limitations for the job parameter strings inserted for
     the special entities "&job;", "&user;", "&host;", "&title;", and
     "&options;" in code snippets for the renderer command line.
   - Make foomatic-rip determine correctly whether the input is PostScript
     or PDF also if the input is preceded by PJL.
   - Non-CUPS use: Do not blindly use the text filter requested by the
     configuration file, check whether it is supported.
   - Fixed several segfaults.
* debian/patches/strncpy-tochar-use-isempty.patch,
  debian/patches/unhtmlify-segfault.patch: Removed patches with fixes
  backported from upstream.

debian/rules: Perl scripts from this package don't use any perl modules,
so call dh_perl with "-d" to avoid the unnecessary perl dependency.

[ Till Kamppeter ]
* debian/patches/unhtmlify-segfault.patch: Made sure that the unhtmlify()
  function does not write the zero byte to mark the string end beyond the
  buffer. Also use a much larger buffer for parsing
  "*FoomaticRIPOptionPrototype:" in the PPD file (Upstream bug #515).
* debian/patches/strncpy-tochar-use-isempty.patch: In strncpy_tochar() use
  the isempty() function to check whether the input string is empty
  (Upstream bug #514).

[ Translation updates ]
* Italian (Luca Monducci, Closes: #593957)
* Russian (Yuri Kozlov, Closes: #593907)
* Swedish (Martin Bagge, Closes: #594078)

[ Didier Raboud ]
* Substitute the fallacious use of dpkg-vendor in the postinst by build-time
  distro detection.

[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
   - Made some string variables longer to avoid space problems.
   - Let foomatic-rip actually error out if something goes wrong. It simply
     continued or closed silently (exit status 0) in many cases (LP: #570522).
   - Corrections in the documentation, especially removed remainders of the
     need of libgs in former versions.
   - Fixed several causes of segmentation faults, especially also for
     spooler-less printing.
   - Fixed support for '0's as placeholders for a custom paper size in the
     prototype.
   - Made custom page size settings embedded in incoming PostScript be
     correctly recognized also if the initial comment is
     "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: PageSize=Custom", without the size and
     unit parameters.
* debian/patches/01_foomatic-rip-error-out-on-problems-longer-string-buffers.patch:
  Removed backported upstream fix.

[ Didier Raboud ]

debian/patches/01_foomatic-rip-error-out-on-problems-longer-string-buffers.patch:
Let foomatic-rip actually error out if something goes wrong. It simply
continued or closed silently (exit status 0) on several issues (LP:
570522). Also make string buffers bigger as many of them were too small.
This patch contains the changes which are planned to be introduced in
Foomatic 4.0.5, so this can be considered a test release for 4.0.5.

* 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.

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).
