Fri Mar 17 13:09:38 UTC 2023 - Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
- Updated to 4.15
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.15 (2023-03-07) [stable]
* Features:
- Replace the 'psmandup' utility with simpler 'lp2' to directly print
documents to a simplex printer.
- Remove the outdated 'psset' and 'fixnt', and simplify 'fixps' to
always process its input with Ghostscript.
- Use libpaper's paper sizes. This includes user-defined paper sizes
when using libpaper 2. It is still possible to define custom margins
using "Medium:" specifications in the configuration file, and the
one size defined by a2ps that libpaper does not know about, Quarto, is
retained for backwards compatiblity, and as an example.
* Documentation
- Remove some obsolete explanations.
- Reformat --help output consistently to 80 columns.
- Some English fixes.
* Bug fixes:
- Avoid a crash when a medium is not specified; instead, use the default
libpaper size (configured by the user or sysadmin, or the locale
default).
- Fix some other potential crashes and compiler warnings.
- Fixes for security bugs CVE-2001-1593, CVE-2015-8107 and CVE-2014-0466.
- Minor bugs fixed.
* Predefined delegations:
- Remove support for defunct Netscape and proprietary Acrobat Reader.
- Add lpr wrapper for automatic detection of different printing systems,
including CUPS support.
* Encodings:
- Use libre fonts for KOI-8.
- Composite fonts support.
* Build
- Update build system to more recent autotools and gettext versions.
- Build man pages in a simpler and more robust way.
- Document runtime dependencies.
- Minor code quality improvements.
- Minor tidy up and removal of obsolete code.
- Require libpaper.
- Remove OS/2 support.
* Build
- Build man pages in a simpler and more robust way, using x-to-1 from
gnulib.
- Don't install useless liba2ps.h.
- Other minor build system improvements, including updating to more recent
autoconf and gettext.
- Don't require help2man or gperf to build from source.
- Document runtime dependencies.
- Minor code quality improvements.
