release has minor bug fixes over 5.2.1. Please read these release
notes carefully.

Log message:
Update to 5.2.1 (first release in new 5.2 series). (Soon
print/gutenprint-lib will be changed to 5.2.1 and this package
deleted.)
See NEWS for more about:
II) CRITICAL UPGRADE NOTE
If you are using CUPS with Gutenprint on a non-Macintosh system, and
are upgrading from an earlier version of Gutenprint or Gimp-Print,
please read this note carefully as there are special procedures that
you should follow in addition to the normal procedure of running
cups-genppdupdate.
* Changes from 5.2.0-rc1
1) Preliminary support for the following printers. These printers
may be retuned for improved quality or performance in future
releases.
Epson inkjet printers:
[many, see NEWS]
2) Experimental support for the following printers. These printers
may not function correctly, and may be retuned for improved
quality or performance in future releases.

Log message:
Update to 5.2.0beta3. Many minor changes and bugfixes omitted; see
NEWS in the distfile.
* CHANGES FROM GUTENPRINT 5.2.0-BETA2:
4) Printing speed, and possibly quality, have been improved in
certain cases on newer Epson inkjet printers (C120, Stylus Photo
2400, RX700, and all printers using Claria ink). The speed
improvement should be most noticeable with plain paper at lower
resolutions. Quality improvements may or may not be noticeable.
5) The Epson driver is in the process of being converted to use data
stored in files external to the binary library. While this
should have no impact on end-user use, it is a substantial change
that people should be aware of. Please report any issues.
6) Test coverage has been significantly increased.
7) New printers supported in this release:
(450+ lines of printers omitted)
* GENERAL CHANGES FROM GUTENPRINT 5.0:
1) Gutenprint 5.2 and beyond no longer support GIMP 1.2. Please
ensure that you are using GIMP 2.0 or above.
2) The PostScript driver has been rewritten, offering enhanced
functionality approaching that of the native printer drivers.
This driver is used by the enhanced Print plugin for the GIMP,
and by other packages (such as PhotoPrint) that utilize
Gutenprint. In particular, the following specific functionality
has been added:
- All PPD file options are now offered.
- CMYK input is now handled correctly.
- The PostScript driver recognizes Gutenprint PPD files (from
the native CUPS driver, not from Foomatic) and presents
floating point options correctly.
Note that this driver does not offer the curve options offered
by the native drivers.
----------------
* CHANGES FROM GUTENPRINT 5.0.2 AND 5.1.7:
1) cups-genppdupdate is no longer versioned, as it was in 5.0 and
5.1 (cups-genppdupdate.5.0 and cups-genppdupdate.5.1). It also
supports the following options:
-r Specify the major.minor version to update to, e. g. 5.0 or
5.1.
-f Bypass ownership/permissions checks on update PPD files.
-i Interactively ask whether to update each PPD file.
2) The performance of cups-genppdupdate has been improved
significantly.
3) cups-genppdupdate no longer updates PPD files that differ only
in case of the file extension (e. g. printer.ppd and
printer.PPD). This avoids updating PPD files twice on
filesystems that are case insensitive, such as OS X.
4) cups-genppdconfig has been removed from this release. This
command was used to configure CUPS printer queues, but is not
necessary as there are ample other tools available to configure
printer queues.
8) L-size photo paper (3 1/2x5 inches) has been added.

(Note that a number of the PictureMate printers that were
previously included generated grossly incorrect output. Not
all of the PictureMate printers have been fully tuned at this
point.)
* Canon inkjet printers:
Canon PIXMA MP520 (#1872394)
Canon PIXMA iP6000D
2) Printing for the Canon PIXMA iP4500 has been fixed (#1834153).
3) Printing near the bottom of the page has been improved for many
modern Epson inkjet printers. In addition, we have determined
that most of these printers can print with consistent high
quality at 2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI. Therefore, these
resolutions will be used for Ultra Photo and Best qualities
respectively on these printers.
Printers affected include:
* Stylus Photo R800, R1800, PM-G820
* Stylus Photo R2400
* All printers using Claria ink
4) Full bleed printing now works properly on the Epson Stylus Photo
R2400.
5) The Epson Stylus C120 now allows printing at 2880x2880 and
5760x2880. However, print quality near the bottom of the page
may be poor, and these settings are therefore not used for Ultra
Photo and Best quality.
5) The ink drop sizes on the Epson Stylus Photo printers using
Claria ink have been retuned, yielding improved quality at lower
resolutions.
6) A problem with determining the system printer queues in the GIMP
plugin on certain systems using languages other than English has
been fixed.
7) Envelope paper sizes are now offered in both portrait and
landscape form factor, as some printers expect envelopes to be
fed long edge first while some expect them to be fed short edge
first.
8) PCL laser printers now offer paper trays with adjustable guides.
Many laser printers use adjustable guides for manual feed of
papers narrower than letter size.
9) The GIMP plugin now offers reset buttons for individual
settings, so it is possible to reset a single setting to its
default without resetting all settings.
9) Various new controls and settings have been added to assist in
printer calibration. While the tools for using these controls
are not yet created, these tools will assist in calibrating
printers in the future.
* The Epson driver now offers additional controls for adjusting
the relationship between light and dark ink:
+ The Value parameters (such as Light Cyan Value) specify the
relative darkness of the light vs. dark inks.
+ The Cutoff parameters now specify the point at which the
darker ink is first used, relative to the value of the light
ink.
+ The Scale parameters now specify the amount of light ink
used (essentially the density of the light ink). This is
the same as the parameters previously called Cutoff.
* The Epson driver now exposes as defaults the actual GCR
settings used for the printer, paper, and ink combination in
use.
* The Epson driver now allows passing low level settings such as
printer base resolution, ink drop size selection, and relative
ink drop size as parameters. The ink drop size can be
accessed in the GIMP plugin, while the base resolution and ink
drop size selection can only be used via the test pattern
generator or other application that allows setting integer
parameters.
* Two new dither algorithms, Segmented and Segmented New, have
been added. These are not intended for normal use, and will
normally behave like Ordered and Ordered New. However, if Raw
color correction is selected and a printer with multiple drop
sizes is used, the range of input will be divided up such that
the high order bits will select the drop size to be used and
the lower bits will specify the amount of ink. High order
bits of 0 indicate that all drop sizes should be used.
For example, if a printer offers 3 drop sizes (2 bits), the
range of 0-16383 will print all drop sizes normally (with the
range of 0-16383 being scaled to 0-65535), 16384-32767 will
use the small drop size, and so forth.
This is intended to assist in tuning ink drop sizes.
* A new parameter allowing dumping out of color correction state
(lookup tables, GCR data, curves, etc.) has been added, and is
accessible in the GIMP plugin. At present, this data cannot
be used directly, but it is intended that in the future this
mechanism be used to allow calibration information to be saved
and restored.

Log message:
Gutenprint 5.1.6. Like gutenprint-lib, this package has warts but is useful.
Gutenprint is a package of high quality printer drivers for Linux,
BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and other UNIX-alike operating systems. In many
cases, these drivers rival or exceed the OEM drivers in quality and
functionality. Our goal is to produce the highest possible output
quality from all supported printers. To that end, we have done
extensive work on screening algorithms, color generation, and printer
feature utilization. We are continuing our work in all of these areas
to produce ever higher quality results, particularly on the
ubiquitous, inexpensive inkjet printers that are nonetheless capable
of nearly photographic output quality. Earlier versions of Gutenprint
were called gimp-print.
This package contains the base library, the Epson utility escputil,
cups support, and a gimp2 plugin.
This package contains a "development release".
