* New upstream bug fix release
   - texttopdf: Make sure that margin changes for prettyprint
     get applied.
   - texttopdf, imagetopdf, imagetoraster: Range-check paper
     dimensions and margins taken from the PPD file and correct
     them if needed (Bug #1195).

* New upstream bug fix release
   - cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX to prevent arbitrary code
     injection into the System V interface scripts generated for
     queues for discovered native IPP printers by a malicious IPP
     print service with forged make/model and/or PDL string.

* New upstream bug fix release
   - pdftops: Let old HP LaserJet printers (model number without
     letter, like "LaserJet 3" or "LaserJet 4000") use Poppler
     instead of Ghostscript (Closes: #742765).
   - pdftops: Improved workaround for Toshiba printers. Instead
     of using Poppler do not emit TrueType fonts with Ghostscript
     (LP: #998087).
   - cups-browsed: Build the device URIs for all local queues we create
     with the CUPS library function httpAssembleURIf() for proper
     percent escaping of characters which are not allowed in URIs
     (Upstream bug #1187).

67. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-03-24

* New upstream release
   - pdftops: Use Poppler also for Toshiba printers (LP: #998087).
   - pdftops: Fixed typo which always made PostScript level 2 being
     generated when using Poppler's pdftops (LP: #1294370).

66. By Marc Deslauriers on 2014-03-18

* Use upstart job in source tree so AppArmor profile is correctly
  loaded before cups-browsed is started (LP: #1276630)
  - debian/local/cups-browsed.upstart: removed
  - debian/rules: copy upstart job from utils directory, stop using
    deprecated --upstart-only.

65. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-03-12

* New upstream release 1.0.48
   - cups-browsed: Fix for a crash which happens on Bonjour reports of
     printers without "product", "usb_MDL", and "ty" fields in the
     text record (LP: #1284834).
   - cups-browsed: In README and in the sample startup scripts/configs
     for System V Init and Upstart taken into account the fact that it
     is not required any more to start avahi-daemon before starting
     cups-browsed.

64. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-03-10

* New upstream release 1.0.47
   - pdftoopvp: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6474, CVE-2013-6475,
     and CVE-2013-6476: Introduction of gmallocn and gmallocn3
     to protect against arbitrary code execution with the
     privileges of the "lp" user via malicious PDF files. Also
     restrict the directory from where OPVP drivers can get
     loaded.
   - urftopdf: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6473: Two heap-based
     buffer overflow flaws in urftopdf. If a malicious URF file
     were processed it could lead to arbitrary code execution
     with the privileges of the "lp" user.
   - pdftopdf: Fixed typo in initialization which sets the default
     value page border to an undefined value. Thanks to Helge
     Blischke for the patch.
   - cups-browsed: Check for changes of the URI of a queue which
     we have created and correct the URI if needed, especially if
     a queue was not removed on shutdown of cups-browsed (default
     printer or still having jobs) and before restart of
     cups-browsed the server's DNS-SD-provided has changed.
   - bannertopdf: Support PDF forms as banner template. This allows
     especially internationalized banner pages. Forms can contain
     fields for any CUPS/IPP value and get automatically filled
     Thanks to Andrew V. Stepanov from ALT Linux (Bug #1170,
     also first step to fix Ubuntu bug #1196986).
* Removed hard dependency of cups-browsed on avahi-daemon, demoted Depends: to
  Recommends: and removed "on started avahi-daemon" from the "start on ..."
  rule in /etc/init/cups-browsed.conf (LP: #1242185, LP: #1178172).

63. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-02-19

* New upstream release 1.0.46
   - gstoraster: Ignore SIGCHLD, rely on waitpid instead. Thanks
     to Lauri Tirkkonen (Upstream bug #1184).
   - gstoraster: Fix two instances of insufficient EINTR handling.
     Thanks to Lauri Tirkkonen (Upstream bug #1184).

62. By Didier Raboud on 2014-02-14

* New upstream release 1.0.45
  - cups-browsed: Under Upstart load the AppArmor profile (LP: #1276630)
  - foomatic-rip: Do not use PATH_MAX for the length of static strings
    which are supposed to hold a command line. Use our own CMDLINE_MAX
    constant to set them to a length of 65535 bytes
    (LP: #1019662, Closes: #738440).

* Drop the upstart patch now included upstream
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5 without changes needed

61. By Didier Raboud on 2014-02-05

[ Jamie Strandboge ]
* Add patch to ensure that under upstart, the apparmor profile is
  loaded in the kernel before cups-browsed is started (LP: #1276630)

[ Didier Raboud ]
* Drop specific fonts' dependencies from cups-filters, as a reasonable
  set of fonts is provided through fontconfig already, thanks to
  Fabian Greffrath (Closes: #735223, #670059)
