CHANGES IN V1.1.1

	- The ppdmerge utility incorrectly used "jp" for the
	  Japanese locale (STR #2300)


CHANGES IN V1.1.0

	- The ppdpo utility no longer includes the
	  LanguageEncoding or LanguageVersion strings (STR #1525)
	- The PPD compiler now provides a -D option to set
	  variables from the command-line (STR #2066)
	- If the PCFileName uses a lowercase ".ppd" extension,
	  the PPD compiler will not convert the entire filename
	  to lowercase (STR #2065)
	- Added the ppdmerge utility.
	- The "dymo" driver has been renamed to "label", which is
	  the name used in CUPS 1.2 and higher.
	- The PPD compiler now supports generation of compressed
	  PPD files.
	- The PPD compiler now supports generation of PPD files
	  with line endings other than just a line feed.
	- The PPD compiler now supports generation of globalized
	  (multi-language) PPD files.
	- Fixed the MacOS X Universal Binary support.
	- The drivers now have their own man pages.
	- The drivers are now bundled in a separate
	  "cupsddk-drivers" package to allow vendors to provide
	  the drivers separate from the developer kit.


CHANGES IN V1.0.1

	- The ppdc utility did not return a non-zero exit code
	  when it was unable to load a message catalog.
	- The ppdc utility now looks for and uses existing
	  ModelName, NickName, ShortNickName, LanguageEncoding,
	  and LanguageVersion attributes; if missing, the
	  previous auto-generated values are used (STR #709)
	- The ppdi utility could add extra "*" characters to the
	  beginning of main keywords in UIConstraints depending
	  on the version of CUPS that was used (STR #703)
	- Added man pages for the rastertoescpx and rastertopclx
	  filters (STR #626)
	- The ppdi utility crashed when importing a PPD file
	  without Manufacturer, ModelName, PCFileName, or
	  FileVersion attributes (STR #883)
	- The configure script did not use the cups-config
	  reported compiler options when testing for the presence
	  of the cups/cups.h include file (STR #748)
	- Fixed MacOS X 10.4 compilation problems.
	- Fixed the comments in the included localization files.
	- Fixed the R300 tutorial.
	- Some attribute values were incorrectly quoted (STR
	  #706)
	- UIConstraints were incorrectly quoted (STR #705)
	- The attribute strings containing quotes were not
	  quoted properly when saved in the driver information
	  file; this was most visible in the ppdi utility (STR
	  #702)


CHANGES IN V1.0

	- No changes.


CHANGES IN V1.0rc2

	- Fixed some makefile errors that prevented installation
	  of the software.
	- Added ppdhtml utility to produce a summary of the
	  options for each driver in a file.
	- The configure script did not use the output of
	  "cups-config --ldflags" to properly set the LDFLAGS
	  variable (STR #657)
	- The ppdi utility didn't remove the leading
	  manufacturer prefix from the existing ModelName
	  string.
	- The ppdi utility added an extra * in front of the
	  option keywords in constraints.
	- Imported PPDs might contain NULL code, causing
	  problems with exported files.


CHANGES IN V1.0rc1

	- Much improved documentation.
	- Added support for cupsAllXY and cupsAllGamma CMYK
	  transform attributes.
	- Updated ESC/P driver to support both the old ESC . and
	  new ESC i graphics commands.
	- The ESC/P driver no longer uses the individual remote
	  mode model number bits, but instead relies on the CUPS
	  attributes instead.
	- The ESC/P driver now supports automatic paper feed
	  value computation.
	- The ESC/P driver now uses a more intuitive value for
	  the row count.
	- Added the CUPS simple profile generator, cupsprofile.
	- Added driver types for the CUPS sample drivers.
	- Changed the default PCL media type to "PLAIN" instead
	  of "Plain".
	- The PCL driver did not set the default PPD options.


CHANGES IN V0.20

	- First public release.
	- Updated dither lookup code to support density values
	  beyond 2.0.
	- Added PCL command filter for cleaning the print heads.
	- The PCL driver did not support grayscale/black output
	  with Mode 10 compression.
	- The PCL driver did not support 7-color modes.


CHANGES IN V0.15

	- The cupsCheckValue() function did its comparisons
	  incorrectly, causing missing lines.
	- The PPD compiler internally limited the size of code
	  in PPD files to 1024 bytes; this has been increased to
	  10240 bytes (10k)
	- The ESC/P driver did not support the softweaved modes
	  properly.
	- The PCL driver did not initialize the seed buffer
	  correctly for mode 3 compression, causing spooky
	  prints on PCL color devices in RGB mode.
	- The PCL driver did not set the DISPLAY variable in its
	  PJL JOB command, so some printers did not display the
	  job info on the printer's LCD.
	- Initial prototype of GUI development environment
	  (ppddevel).
	- First draft of PPDC manual.


CHANGES IN V0.14

	- Improved the performance of the ppdi utility.
	- The ppdc utility now converts the PCFileName string to
	  lowercase when creating PPD files.
	- Added new "Fonts *" directive to include base fonts;
	  otherwise PS PPD files would get non-PS base fonts.
	- Added new "CustomMedia" directive for non-standard
	  media sizes/commands.
	- Generated PPD files now use attributes instead of
	  the standard values if defined (e.g. PSVersion's,
	  Product's, etc.)
	- The advanced PCL driver now uses non-standard cupsXYZ
	  option names for all finishing options to avoid
	  conflicts with HP and Lexmark PPD plug-ins on OSX.
	- The advanced ESC/P driver now sets the correct top
	  margin and position.


CHANGES IN V0.13

	- Added the advanced PCL driver.
	- The cupsCMYKLoad() function looked for the
	  cupsBlackGeneration attribute instead of
	  cupsBlackGamma for the black gamma correction and
	  density lookup table.
	- Fixed some spots where the ppdcDriver class did not
	  localize the UI strings using the current message
	  catalog.
	- UIConstraints for Custom options now correctly map to
	  NonUIConstraints in the output PPD file.


CHANGES IN V0.12

	- Added hooks for cut method and pressure on high-end
	  EPSON Stylus Pro models.
	- The CMYK LUT code incorrectly required the
	  cupsBlackGeneration attribute.


CHANGES IN V0.11

	- Added hooks for keeping track of the driver "type" so
	  that known drivers (ESC/P and PCL) can have meaningful
	  ModelNumber values in the driver info/source files
	  when saved.
	- Now support localization via GNU gettext-like .po
	  files.
	- Changed the names of all CMYK lookup table attributes
	  to be shorter and less specific to the CMYK code.
	- Fixed the CMYK lookup table XY code - need to do a
	  reverse transform from the provided data to get the
	  proper results.
	- The Lab color management code now generates 8-bit
	  N-channel data for use with the CMYK lookup table
	  stuff.  This should make profiling a lot easier.
	- The ESC/P driver now uses more PPD attributes for
	  printer-specific stuff.


CHANGES IN V0.10

	- Initial private release.
