[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
   - foomaticrip.h: Raised PATH_MAX to 65536 bytes so that CUPS
     filter calls with many command line options work (LP: #1019662).
   - options.c, renderer.c: Fixed problems discovered by a Coverity scan
     (Upstream bug #752).

* New upstream release
   - Fixes LP: #1002699.
   - Fixed off-by-one bug which has cut off the last character of the
     option string for CUPS (5th command line argument) and so made the
     last option setting not being applied.
   - Fixed wrong access to command line option list which prevented the
     command line options being passed on to the pdftops CUPS filter
     when incoming PDF is converted to PostScript.

* New upstream release
   - Improved check whether a driver works with PDF input data:
     Do not take into account bogus options which appear due to bugs in
     PPD files (type is TYPE_NONE) or composite options and in addition
     add debug output to show the reason for the decision to convert to
     PostScript (LP: #953962).

* New upstream release
   - If the input data is PDF but the driver requires PostScript, use the
     pdftops CUPS filter when CUPS is the spooler. This way we always use
     the same method to convert PDF to PostScript in the whole system,
     including any workarounds applied in the CUPS filter.

17. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-03-02

* New upstream release
   - Do not use a string buffer limited to 512 characters for the options
     string supplied by CUPS through the fifth command line argument. Some
     PPD files can produce much longer option strings.

[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
   - If incoming PDF needs to be converted to PostScript
     due to the filter command line not being a standard Ghostscript
     command line, no separate PDF command line being supplied, or
     options in the PPD being implemented by PostScript code, use
     preferrably Ghostscript (with the "ps2write" device) for this
     conversion as Ghostscript is better optimized for printing and
     has a more sophisticated color management compared to Poppler.
   - SECURITY FIX: Use the mktemp shell command/mkstemp() function to create
     the debug log file and the renderer input data file (both files only
     generated when foomatic-rip is un in debug mode) with file names with an
     unpredictable part. The names are /tmp/foomatic-rip-XXXXXX.log and
     /tmp/foomatic-rip-YYYYYY.ps where the XXXXXX and YYYYYY are replaced by
     random strings. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for for the patch
     (Upstream bug #936, CVE-2011-2924).
* debian/patches/use-ghostscript-for-pdf-to-ps.patch: Removed, merged
  upstream.
