if you want apsfilters so called "CLASS support" when suppressing the
printing of banner page.
CLASS support enables you to enter gs driver specific commands
on the command line via lpr's -C option, i.e.:
lpr -C high:presentation file.ps
Normally this only works when you configure lpd to print the banner page.
Only then additional lines are inserted in the print jobs control file.
apsfilters standard printcap installation always uses :sh:,
therefore you need the patch for lpr.c, to write those "CLASS informations"
into the print jobs control file, no matter if :sh: is configured in
printcap or not.
- contains security fixes
- make-release: web page design
- remove note about manually installing manpages on Linux Systems
this is done by SETUP
- new TODO item
- SETUP: order of manpage install paths (Matej Vela)
reduce alignment problems. It is only slightly slower, but produces much
nicer print.
- Added $Id$

an enhanced PCL3 (PCL3+) driver
that was part of gs5 port and got lost in gs55 port.
Now it reappears in gs 6.01 ;-)

print/acroread-commfont:
- Use CATEGORIES+= to follow after a slave's lang-specific category.
{chinese,japanese,korean}/acroread-*font:
- Set only the lang-specific category for each.
Anomalies found:
- autoconvert was missing "zh-" in front of PKGNAME
- xcin (both 2.3 and 2.5) had invalid version strings
- neither of xcin ports had NO_LATEST_LINK
- telnet8-1.0 thinks PKGNAME is zh-telnet-1.0
Fixed all except the last (I wasn't sure if it was intentional).
PORTNAME/PORTVERSION change, cpiazza must have accidentally hit a
"~" in his vi or something. :>
I have a hunch that the "?=" in PORTNAME and PORTVERSION can be
changed to "=" too but I'll leave those for now.
remote printing with samba was broken because of syntax error in shell.
only occurred when a SMB_PASSWD has been set.
Thanks to Olivier !

syntax error in SETUP
which is detected by bash2 but not by our shell
So all Linux user trapped over this
result is, that you can't select a printer and loop in printer selection
forever...
+ doesn't work:
+ PRINTER=`awk -F "|" \
^----- missing "
+ "{ if (FNR == $answer ) print \\$2 }" \
+ < $PRINTER_LIST"`
^^----- wrong order
+ works:
+ PRINTER="`awk -F "|" \
^----- o.k.
+ "{ if (FNR == $answer ) print \\$2 }" \
+ < $PRINTER_LIST`"
^^----- o.k.
Is it a bug in our shell ???
Fixes BUG in apsfilter 5.3.0
SETUP: you entered a "printer selection loop" when selecting uniprint
printer
Includes the previous patch for CLASS support and such ...
New features in 5.3.0
=====================
- Major enhancements in SETUP, therefore version bump
- checks your version of ghostscript
- is aware of gs version 5.50 and 6.01 printer drivers
- new driver selection mechanism
- fetches list of available printer driver from file
- you can browse/search this list using more
- you select printer driver by number
- sanity check, if the printer driver is present in your gs binary
- at the end of your selection you get a list of printers
as confirmation, that are supported by your driver selection
- you can repeat this step as often as you like until you
choose a valid printer driver
- After printer driver selection you can as usual print test pages
if you like or repeat the step of selection another driver in this
more user friendly manner.
- upp profile contribution for
Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 ESC/P2 24-pin Dot Matrix printer
- 3rd party additional driver for
HP 812C, 815C, 832C, 880C, 882C, 895C, 932C, 970C
http://www.proaxis.com/~mgelhaus/linux/software/hp880c/hp880c.html
- Generic Postscript printer Support
- added more resolutions in SETUP script and apsfilter script
- bugfix: some resolutions were missing in apsfilter script
- Adding driver support information is now more easy, since you only
have to add it to a file setup/printer-<gs-version>
- internal: download page: enhanced make-release script
produces now diffs from every version to latest version
- latest apsfilter patches can be found on download page
- info: new URL -> http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas
- new URL -> http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas
- make-release: generate more diffs (every release to latest) and
patch from latest to head branch
- Added files with an up to date printer list for gs 5.50 and 6.01
SETUP will be modified later...
- devices-5.50 - list of driver options
- devices-6.01 - list of driver options
- printer-5.50 - list of supported printers
- printer-6.01 - list of supported printers
