cups-filters (1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Till Kamppeter ]
  * New upstream release
     - pdftops: Allow selection whether Ghostscript or Poppler is used
       at runtime, setting the "pdftops-renderer" option to "gs" or
       "pdftops". This way one can switch to Poppler per-queue if there
       are incompatibilities with certain PostScript printers.
     - pdftops: Allow setting an upper limit for the image rendering
       resolution, also at runtime, setting the option
       "pdftops-max-image-resolution-default" to the desired limit in dpi.
       "0" means no limit.
     - pdftops: Fixed crash by wrong usage of sizeof() function when adding
       "Collate" to the fifth command line argument for the "pstops" CUPS
       filter call (LP: #982675).
     - pdftops: Removed newline from copies value when reading it from
       the "%%PDFTOPDFNumCopies" entry of the incoming PDF file.
     - pdftops: Silenced compiler warning about ignoring the return
       value of the write() function.
     - pdftops: Added a crash guard.
     - pdftops: Start determining the printing resolution with
       cupsRasterInterpretPPD(), this is the most reliable as often
       the choice names of the "Resolution" option are marketing names
       with higher numerical values than the actual resolution. Also
       ignore error exit values of cupsRasterInterpretPPD() as the
       function can error out after having found the resolution
       (LP: #984082).
     - pdftops: If printing resolution is determined by
       cupsRasterInterpretPPD() do not stick on 100 dpi if the
       resolution cannot be determined (LP: #984082).
  * debian/rules: Set default renderer for the pdftops filter to Poppler
    due to many printer's buggy interpreters having problems with GhostScript's
    PostScript and set image rendering resolution limit of the pdftops filter
    to 360 dpi to prevents slow processing by the printer if very high
    resolutions are used or if the printing resolution is mis-detected by the
    pdftops filter (LP: #668800, LP #951627 (comment #30), LP: #998087,
    LP: #992982 (comments #26, #27, #30, #31), LP: #997728, LP: #994477,
    LP: #998087, LP: #978120, LP: #862167).

  * Drop libtiff5-dev, just use libtiff-dev, this fixes the FTBFS due to
    incompatibility with cups.
