cups-filters 1.25.12 released!



Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.25.12 now, with the following changes:

	- libcupsfilters: Use the text names "Draft", "Normal", and
	  "High" instead of 3, 4, and 5 as choice names for the
	  "cupsPrintQuality" option as CUPS does (Issue #171).
	- libcupsfilters: If a printer supports both Apple Raster and
	  PWG Raster let the generated PPD use Apple Raster as there
	  are several printers which report PWG Raster support but do
	  not actually print PWG Raster (Pull reguest #168, Issue
	  #171, CUPS issue #5238).
	- cups-browsed: Fix unset location check to use DNS-SD field
	  (Pull request #172).
	- libcupsfilters, beh, implicitclass, foomatic-rip,
	  imagetopdf, mupdftoraster, pdftops, sys5ippprinter,
	  cups-browsed, driverless: Silenced all compiler warnings to
	  make the build process of cups-filters completely free of
	  warnings.
	- pdftops: Fixed crash when using filter without PPD file.
	- pdftops: If printing grayscale jobs with Ghostscript as PDF
	  renderer, add "-sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray" to
	  Ghostscript command line.
	- pdftops: Do not use the ugly "pdftops -level1 ..."
	  workaround to get grayscale PostScript output from
	  Poppler. It leads to huge output files with Poppler's
	  "pdftops" utility and does not work at all with
	  "pdftocairo".  Poppler itself does not support PostScript
	  output converted to grayscale. Issue a warning with the hint
	  to use Ghostscript or MuPDF as PDF renderer (Issue #169).
	- libcupsfilters: In the cupsRasterParseIPPOptions()
	  accept also "Mono", "Monochrome", and "Gray" as color
	  space names.

Bug fix release, to address a bug of grayscale jobs not printed on PostScript printers when Poppler is used as PDF interpreter, to allow printing on printers which claim to accept PWG Raster but actually do not print this format, and to eliminate all compiler warnings when building the package.

Please release this on Debian so that it can sync into Ubuntu.

Thanks in advance.

   Till
