Port related changes:
- apsfilter port isn't interactive anymore, we can now put it onto FreeBSD CD 1
- use bzip2 for apsfilter sources to save space on FreeBSD Disk 1
- new run dependency to recode and a2ps
- when BATCH is defined set PAPERSIZE to a4, to avoid problems with a2ps port
- updated DESCR (listed some of the new apsfilter features)
- updated PLIST
- new post-install target to inform people to run SETUP to complete installation
Apsfilter related changes:
- new supported file types (BMP, FAX G3, troff)
- possible to print in different print resolutions (see example in INSTALL),
i.e.: lpr -P{low,med,high} some_files...
- ghostscript can make use of additional type1 fonts by setting the gs
environment variable GS_FONTPATH. gs automatically recognizes
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 and
/var/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
if present. Other Paths can be configured global or printer type
dependend by admin or user as usual. See precedence of apsfilterrc
and .apsfilterrc files above.
- printer driver type dependend config files in that order:
- /etc/apsfilterrc
- /etc/apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
and if defined INSECURE:
- $HOME/.apsfilterrc
- $HOME/.apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
- CRLF translation and perforation skip for more HP models
- new environment variable USE_RECODE_NOT_A2PS, so you can use
reecode as an alternative over a2ps
- new environment variable RECODE_OPTS
defaults to "-q latin1:ibmpc"
- new environment variable PAGES_REVERSE_ORDER for forcing dvips
to print in reverse order
- detection of printer resolution revamped and more clear
- Precedence of definition of print resolution:
a) by name of filter script (symlink to apsfilter)
b) by setting GS_RESOL in apsfilterrc config files
c) autodetected by apsfilter (PS_xxx, printer driver name)
d) otherwise defaults to 300dpi (for dvips commandline)
- some dvips settings cleanup, use -Z only when resol >= 400dpi
- when printing html use some sane defaults for HTML2PS_OPTS
if not set in apsfilterrc files

NPS is a POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms which
provides non-preemtive scheduling for multiple threads of execution
("multi-threading") inside server applications. All threads run in the
same address space of the server application, but each thread has it's
own individual run-time stack and program-counter.
The thread scheduling itself is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the
threads are managed by a priority- and event-based non-preemtive
scheduler. The intention is that this way one can achieve better
portability and run-time performance than with preemtive scheduling.
The event facility allows threads to wait until various types of
events occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, elapsed
timers, pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination,
and even customized callback functions.

to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs(Mule) based on SEMI API. Namely it
contains whole features of SEMI thus it is a replacement of SEMI.
This is a development version.
I forgot to put this in previous commit log.
