So  9 Jul 2006 13:29:15 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Release 7.2.8

	* SETUP, bin/apsfilter, Makefile
	  Jukebox Mode; Support to play audio files via lpr
	  Supported audio file types: mp3, Ogg Vorbis, wav

Mo 20 Feb 2006 18:15:33 CET     Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Release 7.2.7

	* SETUP
	  MFC: make printer name with spaces possible for samba printer

So 13 Feb 2005 10:45:16 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Release 7.2.6

So 13 Feb 2005 10:24:01 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* driver/hpdj/550C, driver/pcl3/hpdj550c
	  adjustments to ColorMode/ColorModel
	  as suggested by Zahemszky Gábor <Gabor@Zahemszky.HU>

So 11 Mai 2003 09:56:27 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* apsfilter.in:
	  printing of PDF files: use acroread5 before v4 and v3 if present
	  as suggested by Dr. Edward Ajhar <ajhar@physics.miami.edu>

Fr 22 Nov 2002 19:40:37 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* roll new bugfix release 7.2.5 which fixes windows/netware/
	  appletalk remote printing for Unix systems with secure lpd
	  installation, that doesn't run under root privileges
	  (FreeBSD, ...).

Fr 22 Nov 2002 19:13:29 CET     Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: important bugfix
	  config files for remote printing have been secured too much
	  so that lpd, who runs under "daemon" permissions under BSD,
	  was unable to read the config file smbclient.conf with
	  permissions 600 root:daemon.

So 10 Nov 2002 17:02:27 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* update the apsfilterrc(5) manual page. Every option is now
	  documented. Updated especially the section concerning the
	  different apsfilterrc conifg files. Big warning NOT to use
	  user manageable config files. But I documented it, because
	  this option is still useful for "single-user" systems, where
	  security is not an issue.

So 10 Nov 2002 13:54:56 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* document new pretty command line option introduced with
	  ml-2002-04-14.patch

          setup/printer-ijs
          template/apsfilterrc.in

Fr  8 Nov 2002 05:38:26 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* wrong manual reference in apsfilter manpage
	  changed from smbprint to smbclient(1)

So  3 Nov 2002 23:47:31 CET     Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Martin.Kraemer@Fujitsu-Siemens.com
	  set umask in SETUP to make it possible to install apsfilter
	  under root environments, that are very restrictive concerning
	  umask settings.

So 27 Okt 2002 23:24:10 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* release version 7.2.3

So 27 Okt 2002 22:22:19 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* prepare for version 7.2.3

	* Michael Lossin: unbreak printing via smbclient, SETUP was
	  o.k., but a typo in apsfilter broke things.
	
        * Michael Loßin, ml-2002-04-14.patch
	- add support for "ijsgimpprint" driver (in new driver/gimp/ directory)
	- update support for "ijs" driver (hpijs-1.0.x) to accomodate to new
	  interface
	- add "pretty=0/1/2" command line option (plus PRETTY_PRINTING=0/1/2
	  variable) to explicitly set the highlight level for text-to-PostScript
  	  converters (none/normal/heavy)
	- add RECODE_PROLOGUE and RECODE_EPILOGUE variables to be used
	  before/after "recode" conversion (will be used in addition to
	  RAW_PROLOGUE and RAW_EPILOGUE)
	- fix "remote copies" parameter to lpr
	- move several SETUP files to the .../etc/apsfilter
	  directory instead of .../share/apsfilter (which
	  might be write-protected)
	- clean up template apsfilterrc to separate default
	  values from examples

	Note: If you want to test the ijsgimpprint driver, please bear in mind
	that any strange behaviour you'll get is most likely caused by the
	driver itself, not apsfilter.  The driver itself is still kind of
	buggy (I checked 4.2.1-pre5), but apsfilter support should be robust
	(since it's only syntactic stuff compared to the "stp" driver).

	The gimp-print folks have announced that the "stp" driver will be
	phased out after 4.2.x, so I guess support for it will eventually
	be removed from apsfilter as well. (Maybe we should do the same 
	with "hpdj" and the old "hpijs" driver, since both have been obsoleted.)

So 24 Mär 2002 09:27:49 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	Added FAQ entry regarding:
	"Is is possible to persuade apsfilter to attach EOT to PS jobs?"

So   3 Mär 2002 21:10:50 CET    Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

        * Michael Loßin <phallobst@web.de>, ml-2002-03-03.patch
        - introduce DUPLEX_REVERSE_{EVEN,ODD} and
          DUPLEX_ODD_FIRST variables for page order
          selection in fake duplex mode
        - add optional blank page to make document
          have even number of pages; introduce new
          BLANK_PAGE variable
        - drop "pstops" check, since both psselect
          and pstops are part of psutils psckage
        - don't bother printing a 1-page document
          in duplex mode
        - make "fake duplex" work correctly with
          "remote copies" mode
        - move PS_UTILS command to end of pipeline
          during ps_postprocessing to allow pages
          to be reversed at the correct time
        - add "iso-8859 html" pattern for file
          type recognition
        - make apspreview use *local* restrictions
          config file as well
        - explain fake duplex more elaborately in
          handbook (plus a couple of fixes)
        - use "install -c" in Makefile
        - add MEDIA default in SETUP
        - new "cdj670" script (without BPP setting)
        - new "omni/Canon_S450" script

So  24 Feb 2002 16:23:18 CET    Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

        * Michael Loßin <phallobst@web.de>, ml-2002-02-24.patch
        - replace awk "duplex" function with psset call
        - adjust psnup rotation to various converters
          for landscape mode
        - add landscape option to enscript command line
        - introduce IGNORE_LPD_RAW variable to please buggy
          spoolers that send jobs in raw mode
        - sanitize ": ${foo:-bar}" to ": ${foo:=bar}"
        - make n{c}print line whitespace-safe
        - save return code in global temporary file
        - typo in wmf2eps line
        - make apspreview use global "restrictions" file
        - get basedir in SETUP from configure
        - protect $foo[bar] contructs from being expanded
          to array elements by zsh
        - add "-dPARANOIDSAFER" for gs7.04 (harmless for all
          older releases)
        - save "rm" and "rp" in SETUP.cfg
        - add some hints w.r.t landscape and n-up in handbook
        - remove media types in scripts for some PCL printers
        - be more helpful with "invalid method"
        - LaserJet 4L needs fixed 300dpi
        - LN macro in Makefile needs -n switch -- we must
          create a directory link even if one exists already
        - add .PHONY targets in Makefiles
        - MAPPING update
        - change email

Fr  18 Jan 2002 09:28:11 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Josef Karthauser <joe@tao.org.uk>
	- support for some more HP printer according to linuxprinting.org
	  database. Not all entries are tested with all print resolution,
	  so some feedback would be fine.

Do  17 Jan 2002 09:25:26 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2002-01-14.patch
	- while in aps2file mode, don't deliver error mails, rather
	  send messages to stderr only
	- setup/devices-6.01, setup/printer-6.01 and setup/printer-ps
	  are obsolete
	- new printer: pips/sc70s
	- cleanup for setup/printer-epson

Fr  11 Jan 2002 23:01:13 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Release apsfilter 7.2.1 (MFC)
	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- Makefile.in: use ln -sf ("force")
	- SETUP, aps2file, apspreview: fix sed (old style) regular
	  expression problems by using awk. Some systems does't use
	  gnu sed for backward compatibility reasons (FreeBSD,...) not
	  to break existing scripts. GNU sed (Linux) uses "modern REs",
	  FreeBSD for example uses "basic REs" as of 1003.2.
	  See re_format(7) for more info.
	- use "chown user:group" syntax, since some OS doesn't support
	  old style (chown user.group) anymore (FreeBSD-current, ...)
	- fix some HP driver mapping in MAPPING file

Do  10 Jan 2002 21:38:30 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* For 7.2.0, MFC
	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	* make handbook build process cleaner
	- new doc/Makefile
	- new doc/handbook.html.in
	- get rid of source.html.in
	- convert apsfilter4.gif to apsfilter4.png
	- Makefile: install apsfilter4.png
	- configure: remove source.html.in

Mi   9 Jan 2002 22:03:18 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Change Version to 7.2.0, because of new features like
	  supporting Novell remote printer.

	* Adjust ANNOUNCE file for new apsfilter version

        * MFC: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2002-01-09.patch
        - support for NetWare printer servers (with ncprint or nprint);
          configuration via .../QUEUE/netware.conf
        - fix: aps2file and apspreview handle printer aliases
        - fix: hpijs drivers were wrong in setup/printer-7.00
          (but correct in setup/printer-hpijs)
        - fix: only preview if aps2file generated PostScript
        - stp/escp2-1160 fix (thanks to <andrew@ugh.net.au>)
        - various fixes in driver/MAPPING
        - adjusted various omni/ scripts to use more reasonable
          resolution settings
        - configure variables:  --with-printcap=...
          and --with-spooldir=... (nice for local installations in $HOME)
        - relaxed SETUP: don't check for "root", just for read/write
          permissions in (probably $HOME) dirs; as root do a full check,
          however
        - new REMOTE_COPIES variable: tells lpd and NetWare printer servers
          to do copies themselves (enabled by default), so we save some
          network traffic
        - enable PSgs to honor HARDWARE_COPIES
        - never ending story: the bjc600 driver script has
          four new siblings (bjc50, bjc70, bjc4000, bjc7000)
          to properly handle printers with varying resolutions
        - use secure temporary directory in SETUP
        - various small SETUP clean-ups
        - create "basedir" link at install time already
        - doc/Makefile: "make clean" should remove handbook.html
          since "configure" re-creates it from handbook.html.in

Sa  29 Dez 2001 21:39:10 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Roll new release 7.1.1

Sa  29 Dez 2001 21:35:27 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	- MFC (Merges From Current):
	- manpage cleanups, update BUGS and USER FORUM section
	- include in all manpages BUGS, DOCUMENTAION and USER FORUM
	  section from apsfilter(1) manpage, to guide people more
	  to "do the right thing(tm)".
	- doc/Makefile is missing a RM define
	- on a make clean we shouldn't remove handbook.html since
	  we have handbook.html under CVS control and distribute it
	  with the apsfilter sources. And we need it for toplevel
	  Makefile's "install:" target !

Sa  29 Dez 2001 19:43:21 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* HOWTO-BUGREPORTS: revamped, since apsfilter-bug is available now.
	  Will keep it under configure control, maybe wee need it later and
	  now it saves a repository copy.

Sa  29 Dez 2001 18:00:10 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Preparation for apsfilter 7.1.1
	* MFC (Merges From Current):
	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2001-12-29.patch
	- new "ljet4" script (thanks to Udo Schweigert); MAPPING update
	- add "--delegate=no" to A2PS_BASIC (thanks to Camille Dominique)
	- remove color options from {A2PS,ENSCRIPT}_BASIC, rather handle
	  them dynamically
	- don't complain if input turns out to be empty, just quit gracefully
	- handle multiple input files in apspreview
	- warn about using {2,4,8}pps with both apspreview _and_ printing
	- when doing "make clean", don't forget doc/ dir
	* From me:
	- manpage fixes (see also: apsfilter-preview -> apspreview)

Sa  29 Dez 2001 15:59:40 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

Mo  24 Dez 2001 20:01:22 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	- duplex printing fix for pcl3 driver u970 according to handbook
	  (gs-pcl3.html). My Duplex hardware seems to be malfunctioning,
	  so I can't test.

So  23 Dez 2001 18:47:21 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	- manpage correction
		* apsfilter.1.in:
		- added lpr -C / -Z options

		- update list of supported filetypes
		- correct info concerning FAQ (included in Handbook)
		* aps2file.1.in:
		- HISTORY section fix
	- Holger Petersen <hp@kbbs.org>:

	- put some more files under configure control:
		HOWTO-BUGREPORTS, setup/test.ps, template/apsfilterrc

	- add new configure variable DOT_IN_FILES, which allows
	  automatic creation of a complete make "distclean:" target
	  in Makefile.in

So  23 Dez 2001 10:51:30 CET    Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2001-12-21.patch
	- Makefile:
		fix: define RM
		target clean: is now an empty target
		new target distclean: removes files created by configure
	- configure:
		display the real destination of datadir, sysconfdir,
		docdir (when defining own paths, configure appends
		string "/apsfilter", to make sure, that apsfilter
		gets a subdir of its own. Please tell us, if you have
		problems with this extra caution.

Do  20 Dez 2001 22:27:27 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2001-12-20.patch
	- fix bjc600/800 driver scripts
	- configure: VERSION read via "." command
	- new manpage aps2file
	- Makefile.in: introduce DESTDIR var
	- INSTALL: introduce configure for installation
	- Solaris fixes
	- handbook updates
	- copyright corrections

Do  20 Dez 2001 16:27:27 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, aps-configure.tar
	- apsfilter gets configure script, that sets paths and
	  version correctly

So  16 Dez 2001 19:24:05 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* general preparation for 7.0.1:
	- resolve bin/apsfilter.rej (removal of set -x)
	- update Copyright to -2002
	- update release strings to 7.0.1
	- update -stable docu, this document is for version 7.0.1

So  16 Dez 2001 18:05:58 CET    Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>, ml-2001-12-16.patch
	- ANNOUNCE: update to 7.0.1, document changes
	- SETUP:
		- additional sanity checks for
 			- character special print device
			- PRINTER, INTERFACE, PAPER variable (has to be set)
		- support for new hpijs driver 1.0 and old hpijs driver
		- PRINTER, PAPER, INTERFACE, DEVICE are left blank now,
		  user HAS TO choose proper settings. Everything other
		  seems error prone.
	- bin/apsfilter:
		- support for new hpijs 1.0
		- remove "set -x for debugging", "aps2file -D" is now
		  "the right thing(tm)", when debugging apsfilter.

		  (print_data and print_ps) has been removed as well,
		  since aps2file does the job now.
	- updates for handbook
	- new driver files for new hpijs driver v 1.0 (driver/ijs subdir)
	- additional fix for bjc driver, it turned out 600 and 800 have
	  different capabilities, therefore another driver script needed
	- update for the MAPPING file (bjc800 and ijs driver)

So  16 Dez 2001 16:21:51 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* MFC: fix BJC600 driver, use -sPrintQuality instead of -dPrintQuality
	  (Michael Lossin)

	- fix1: update Makefile (some files from setup are missing)
	- fix2: correct filename to "non-printer"
	- fix3: cp -d is not portable *sigh*, use tar

So   9 Dez 2001 13:21:21 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* preparing for new apsfilter release 7.0.0
	- DONATIONS: style
	- FAQ: be more verbose and up to date

Mi  28 Nov 2001 20:06:42 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>
	
	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- JUMBO update for Omni (~100 new devices, many covered by
	  the MAPPING file)
	- gimp-print (update to 4.2.0): dropped 3 (not working)
	  printers, added Lexmark Z43
	- pips: added SC60
	- replaced wmftopng+wmftofig by wmf2eps
	- minor typo fixes

Di  20 Nov 2001 20:27:51 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- support for lzop (de)compression
	- print_auto: stricter case patterns, less mismatches
	  caused by freeform strings
	- more archive formats (file listings):
	  arc, arj, lha, rar, zoo
	- support for PAM pixmaps (aka p7 aka xv thumbnails)
	  and tgif drawings
	- do_convert changes: -monochrome switch,
	  output to PostScript Level 1 (seems more reliable)
	- slight handbook update (links, typos)
	- stp: Lexmark Z42 (mapped to Z52)
	- typo fixes for some Omni scripts

Sa  17 Nov 2001 15:26:21 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	* merge in changes from his experimental version of Nov 9th 2001
          (http://y42.briefcase.yahoo.com/losse)
	* lots of changes, new driver design etc:
	* ->>> tagged old -current with PRE_DRIVER_SCRIPTS
	* Doesn't support gs5.x anymore, you NEED at least ghostscript 6.x !!!
	  This is possible, since gs6.x has been GPL'd, so supporting
	  old gs 5.x is not necessary anymore...
	- each printer driver is now configured with (hopefully) correct
	  options via shell scripts (see driver/ directory)
	- command line options have been unified, no driver-specific
	  stuff anymore; see doc/handbook.html for details
	- command line options are now case sensitive (this will allow future
	  watermark specifications and other special things to use mixed-case
	  strings)
	- cleaner SETUP: GS_RESOL, BPP have been replaced by RESOLUTION
	  and COLOR; QUALITY and METHOD are new
	- PostScript printer devices are now called "PS" and "PSgs"
	  resolution is set separately
	- "raw" printer queues are now installed manually
	  (this helps future printer admin tools -- one APS block in printcap
	  will only contain exactly one printer queue)
	- "unspec" devices of hpdj and pcl3 are now called "hpdj/unspec" and
	  "pcl3/unspec" resp. (instead of just "hpdj" and "pcl3")
	- PPA_OPTS is gone; this is now a special case of the more general
	  POST_FILTER and POST_FILTER_OPTS mechanism
	- you need at least ghostscript 6.51 (GNU), 7.00 (AFPL) or higher
	- "aps2file" script to allow printing directly to a file
	- ghostscript 7.00 support
	- full support for gimp-print/stp, omni, hpijs, pips
	- support for many more third-party drivers (gs add-ons or via
	  additional filters)
	- HARDWARE_COPIES variable (set this if your driver can print
	  multiple copies by itself)
	- option settings can be restricted by the administrator
	  (-> "/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/restrictions" for all printers,
	  "/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/QUEUE/restrictions" for just one queue)
	- htmldoc is another html->ps converter (which we right now prefer
	  over html2ps)
	- new papersize: tabloid (which is the same as 11x17; now we clearly
	  state that "ledger" is 17x11 in SETUP)
	- print summaries of AR, RPM, TAR, CPIO, CAB and ZIP files
	- support for X window dumps and Windows Metafiles
	- non-printer devices (e.g. image creation or PDF distiller) for
	  print-to-file mode
	- awk executable path can be adjusted (useful for Solaris people)
	- /etc/printcap gets a verbose comment for each printer (this will
	  be displayed in any "lpq" listing)
	- SETUP provides some defaults to prevent incomplete configuration
	- error messages are also sent to the user now (via Cc:)
	- unknown command line options cause a message to appear in the log
	- sk2ps can convert FIG drawings to PostScript
	- Omni update
	- fix ANNOUNCE: get help from majordomo via "help" keyword in the
	  _Body_ of the mail (NOT subject line).


Do   4 Okt 2001 08:25:21 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* From: "Jose M. Alcaide" <jose@we.lc.ehu.es>
	  pcl3 and hpdj driver have different commandline options
	  for selecting color model.
	  Fix: hpdj and pcl driver now get separate case structures
	  with suitable commandline options, i.e.:
	  hpdj: GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColourMode=CMYK" ;;
          pcl3: GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColourModel=CMYK" ;;

Sa  15 Sep 2001 13:17:01 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* hpijs support:
	  SETUP:
		- gs -h only prints hpijs, not all the models, so the
		  hpijs printer selection function had to be modified.
		- Additionally printing of test page needed modofication.
	  apsfilter:
		- fix of hpijs support needed modifications at different
		  places in the source.
		- added -C option debug, so that you can enable set -x
		  on the commandline. Although this doesn't enable
		  debugging at a very early stage it should be
		  sufficient for certain situations where you
		  only want to see some stuff + how gs has been called.
		- because of debug options, check printer independend
		  options first
	  Makefile:
		- install new setup profiles in FreeBSD for gs 7.0
		  and hpijs printer models

So   1 Jul 2001 10:49:06 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Added a FAQ entry, ASCII print problems because of
	  `out of date' a2ps version

So  15 Apr 2001 12:13:32 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- update for ghostscript 7.00
	  (-> setup/printer-7.00, setup/devices-7.00)
	- support for HP's official "hpijs" drivers
	  (-> setup/printer-hpijs); right now they appear in
	  setup/printer-7.00 as well, since gs7.00 includes them
	- _again_ new duplex key generation routine (in a
	  silly attempt to make it portable); uses awk's rand()
	- customizable AWK executable (mostly for Solaris,
	  which has a default awk not suitable for apsfilter)
	- expressive /etc/printcap comment for each printer
	- setting the hpdj/pcl3 printer model on the command line
	  isn't really useful (who changes printers dynamically?)
	- defaults for some SETUP variables
	- handbook updates to reflect these changes
	- "SUN rasterfile" entries in printer databases were rather
	  useless
	- minor code cleanups

Maybe someone with an HP printer is willing to test the hpijs drivers
(see  http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/  or the gs7.00 release).


Michael


So   1 Apr 2001 13:36:04 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- fix for duplex printing on FreeBSD, we need to use hexdump
	  + od -A n -t x -N 8 /dev/urandom
	    od: illegal option -- A
	    od: od(1) has been deprecated for hexdump(1)
	  special quoting necessary for Linux using the hexdump command
	* Andreas
	  bin/apsfilter: set -x is new default for apsfilter-current
	  this is a developer release. I'm getting sick of commenting
	  it out every time when I check new code ;-)

Do  29 Mär 2001 21:31:40 CEST

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	- The duplex password generation routine and the reading from
	  the fifo don't happen to behave correctly in all cases,  
	  mostly due to possible space/tab characters in the key.
	  This fix just strips all non-alphanumerical characters from
	  the password, just to be sure.

Di  20 Mär 2001 15:50:26 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* minor fix: HOWTO-BUGREPORT, release = 7.x
	* install README.BSD for FreeBSD ports collection

Di  20 Mär 2001 00:37:00 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* wrote ANNOUNCE file
	* remove TROUBLESHOOTING file, see handbook now
	* FAQ, reference to handbook
	* Merge from Stable, trim DONATIONS, add reference to webserver
	* update INSTALL file
	* move comments about patching lpd for CLASS support to a 
	  separate file README.BSD

So  18 Mär 2001 18:30:51 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* update manual pages in nroff format.

Di  13 Mär 2001 18:36:10 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
        - TEXINPUTS was exported in the wrong context;
          it also gets extended by "$HOME:/tmp:/var/tmp"
          to help users provide the embedded files
        - PRINT_DVI gets its input from a seekable file
        - PRINT_DVI was documented as DVI->PS, but is
          actually DVI->PrinterLanguage
        - some "eval vs. whitespace" fixes
        - add warning if duplex fifo couldn't be created
        - convert had some problems with reading from
          pipes (at least with bmp and sgi files)
        - nconvert couldn't read ilbm files from a pipe

Do   8 Mär 2001 04:33:39 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	- TMPDIR fix: apsfilterrc entry was ignored
        - html2ps fixes:
	  - ghostscript needed for DSC output (issue a warning if gs
	    can't be found)
          - honor LANDSCAPE and PAPERSIZE settings
        - omni update: -sproperties='...' used for parameters
        - setup/printer-stp update
        - handbook updates

Sa   3 Mär 2001 11:52:25 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apfilter.org>

	* Michael Graywane <graywane@home.com>:
	  typo/bugfix: correct bj200 driver name in printer-5.50 file

Do   1 Mär 2001 06:49:12 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
        SETUP:
        * samba passwords with ' characters are used correctly now
          (a password  a'b'c  was saved as  SMB_PASSWD='a'b'c'  which was
           read as  abc  ; now it becomes  SMB_PASSWD='a'\''b'\''c' )
        * spool dir owner/group is correctly recognized in most cases,
          so use "yes" as a default answer

        bin/apsfilter:
        * more papersize hints for various filters:
                pnmtops, tiff2ps, pdftops, pdf2ps
          some need sizes in points, some need inches
        * nconvert can't read fits images from a pipe (for whatever reason),
          so we need a temp file (-> fitstopnm is preferred now)

        doc/handbook.html:
        * no output from the printer can be caused by (unwanted use of)
          a default "lp" printcap entry or speaking to the wrong printer queue

Mo  26 Feb 2001 10:14:30 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Bugfix: tmpdir didn't get set properly because we need
	  := not :- in this case.

So  25 Feb 2001 17:04:20 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Lars Köller <Lars.Koeller@uni-bielefeld.de>
	  Add -size ${PAPERSIZE} to acroread options for better
	  A4 printing (and probably printing of other formats)

So  25 Feb 2001 13:16:48 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Joerg Wunsch
	- apsfilterrc file: add another sample A2PS_BASIC entry
	  #A2PS_BASIC='-Eplain'
	  prevents a2ps for example to preformat troff documents

So  18 Feb 2001 21:26:54 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- replaced "psset" from the a2ps package with
          an inline function 'ps_set_tumble()'
        - PS_EXIT will be parsed by gs after the data
        - PS_INIT was not whitespace safe
        - true random duplex passwords (if available)
        - duplex notification uses USER@HOST
        - new filters: g32pbm, tiff2ps
        - cleanup of TEMP and TMPDIR usage
        - Omni drivers use PRINT_MODE_1_ANY for b/w
        - handbook.html fixes and updates
        - printer-omni: added Epson Stylus Photo 1270
        - some case pattern fixes

Do   1 Feb 2001 22:57:15 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- convert has some problems with file magic (most notably Targa
	  files), so now there's an additional command line option which
	  sets the image format the hard way (to be on the safe side,
	  all image formats got that)
	- PC bitmap files were not recognized correctly
	- match patterns for compressed file types were too greedy
	- bonus for no extra cost: 3 new printer models for the Omni driver
	  collection

Do  25 Jan 2001 19:45:27 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- handbook got some more links and a decent coverage
	  of the error messages created by apsfilter
	 (plus some minor stuff), and the gimp-print driver knows
	 more printer models.

Di  23 Jan 2001 08:24:42 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- take first draft of apsfilter handbook under CVS control
	
Mo  22 Jan 2001 21:09:14 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
        - setup/printer-addon was split into several files
          (basically one for each driver type): now we have
          cdj, hpdj, omni, pcl3, ppa, ps, stp
        - the driver type next to the printer model is useless now
        - changes to the driver selection menu
        - listing of ghostscript devices also shows version number
        - pcl3 fully integrated (compatibility to hpdj assumed)
        - color depth menu was a bit large for 25 line screens
        - slight changes to the papersize menu
        - apsfilter copy machine is actually implemented
        - changes to variable handling ("parallel" vs. "sequential"
          setting)
        - RAS2PS_OPTS removed
        - "(STDIN)" for LPRng recognized
        - checking the ghostscript version with class options was
          basically useless (SETUP already checks it, and the
          options are known to all current versions anyway)
        - bug fix: "pswrite" vs. "psgray" usage was reversed

So  21 Jan 2001 11:02:47 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	* checked out before his patch: ml-20010112.patch
	* applyed reworked patch: ml-20010117.patch
	- apsfilter can print multiple copies of the same
	  document, independent of the spooler -- it only has to
	  pre-process the input once (including gs rendering),
	  then sends the raw data multiple times, and it even
	  work correctly in "fake" duplex mode
	  [use "lpr -C copies=42 file.txt" for 42 copies --
	  the default maximum copy count is 10, however] 
	- IBM Omni update -- 30 additional Canon models
	- LPRng uses "(STDIN)" as the job title (again) --
	  now check for "stdin", "(stdin)" and "(STDIN)"
	- PSgs_* devices use "pswrite" and "psgray" drivers
	- a2ps needed some help with file types -- now heavy
	  markup is the default (via A2PS_BASIC)
	- new filters: ilbmtoppm, jpegtopnm, mgrtopbm, rletopnm
	- recode always uses "-q"
	- unneeded options to djpeg and ras2ps have been removed
	- TMPDIR clean-up in SETUP
	- gs >= 6.60 use 6.50 as the feature base
	- SETUP pretty-prints gs devices
	- Linux USB device paths shown during SETUP

Di   9 Jan 2001 13:41:14 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Ian Heggie <ianh@microskil.com.au>
	  - fix samba remote printing bug.
	    Export password using PASSWD (not PASSWORD) variable
	    as of samba 2.0.7 (man smbclient...)

Di   9 Jan 2001 13:20:52 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin
	  - SETUP: allows user enter an apsfilter ETC_DIR of his choice
	    Please Note: this is still in discussion and will probably
	    be replaced in the near future by a configure script
	  - bin/apsfilter:
		- in traps use signal *number*
		- set umask 077 for apsfilter script (we are already
		  secure, because the tmp directory for a print job
		  is secure. But but now we are even more secure by
		  setting this file creation mask for every tmp file in
		  the already secure tmpdir.
		- changes concerning etcdir ($CONF_DIR, $QUEUE)
		- make functions better readable and quoting easier
		  old:	functions are given the command arguments which
			will generate their input.
		  new:	These now all take their input from stdin (again);
			the previous approach (to provide commands as
			parameters that generate the proper input) would
			only save two (at most three) trivial cat commands,
			but it was very picky w.r.t quoting -- and also a
			pain to read and debug.

So   7 Jan 2001 16:48:50 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* new developement version 7
	  - ANNOUNCE: trim file, so that new features can be
	    documented but keep keep things that are still valid
	    (support, mailinglists)
	  - HOWTO-BUGREPORTS: change version strings
	  - INSTALL: trim file, there is currently no FreeBSD port
	    of apsfilter developement snapshot available.
	  - KNOWN_BUGS: remove version string so that we don't need
	    to update it on release changes, currently none
	  - LICENSE: update copyright, add year 2001
	  - SETUP: update version to 7.0 devel, change copyright (year 2001)
	  - bin/apsfilter: update version string and add year 2001 to copyright

Fr  22 Dez 2000 18:26:04 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	  update for the gimp-print (stp) and IBM Omni drivers...
 
Sa  16 Dez 2000 13:24:46 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	  SETUP: support for gs 6.50

Do  14 Dez 2000 08:09:32 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Ilya Martynov <m_ilya@agava.com>
	  Fix syntax error in apsfilter script

Mo  11 Dez 2000 22:17:28 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* choose another syntax for dd and use 16k instead of 8k
	  otherwise file doesn't detect all filetype right as binary.

Sa   9 Dez 2000 17:20:24 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

        * support for printing MS Windows applications of type
          'ms windows coff unknown cpu' on standard printer lp 
          (no need for an additional raw queue for the same physical printer)

So  26 Nov 2000 16:08:53 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- support for cdj970 3rd party driver from www.harsch.net
	  and hardware duplex support in apsfilter for HP DeskJet 970
	  Currently SETUP doesn't make an HARDWARE_DUPLEX=set entry
	  in /etc/apsfilter/.../apsfilterrc
	  You should set it manually until this minor issue is resolved.

Sa  11 Nov 2000 08:39:10 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* quick commit before holidays
	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	- support for IBM omni driver
	- updates for gimp-print/stp
	- support for pswrite devices, which are devices, that
	  add an additional rendering stage:
	     input -> conversion to PS -> gs -sDEVICE=pswrite ... -> printer
	  to enable PS printer to recognize non-standard PS fonts, that
	  are not embedded in the PS file. Same for images.
	  For example: Sketch can be configured to use Type1 fonts.
	  these are referenced by name in the *.sk file and
	  (after conversion with sk2ps) also in the PS file.
	  These devices are now named PSgs_XXXdpi or PSgs_XXXXdpi

Mo  11 Sep 2000 08:41:18 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	  - add support for the stp driver from gimp-print
	  - add support for the pnm2ppa tool
	  setup/printer-6.01 has been split into several files
	  for real PostScript printers, add-on drivers for gs
	  and PPA-printers, so people get better overview of
	  printer types and drivers this way.
	* Andreas:
	  - update setup/README
	  - remove not used printerdb

Sa   9 Sep 2000 17:41:31 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: bugfix: cleanup after removal of GLABAL.sh:
	  TMP was undefined, so testpages have been created
	  in "/" instead of "/tmp"

Sa   9 Sep 2000 11:10:51 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* release new developement snapshop

Sa   9 Sep 2000 09:51:55 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Andreas Reuter <ar205@bonzo.geowiss.nat.tu-bs.de>
	  watermark.ps is very simple and makes some assumptions
	  that can easily be broken by postscript documents.
	  Created watermark routine with whole calculation code,
	  maybe this fixes up some of the oddities.

Sa   9 Sep 2000 09:03:37 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* based on idea and feedback from: Jeffrey Moskot <jef@math.miami.edu>
	  SETUP: hint to enter 'raw' as remote queuename when configuring
	  remote printer with HP Jetdirect network card. The JetDirect card
	  has two queues on it, 'raw' is the one we may use to print, the
	  other is for text only.

Fr   8 Sep 2000 15:44:53 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:

Do   7 Sep 2000 20:02:12 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	* samba password is not used on the command line anymore, but in
          the PASSWORD environment variable
        * custom printer queue names really work now (the given default
          name is "lp" if it isn't used already)
        * /etc/apsfilter/$QUEUE/apsfilterrc.$USER  is another config file
        * new config variable: DISABLE_DUPLEX (needed if apsfilter is not
          running on the host the print job was started)
        * more verbose apsfilterrc template
        * some documentation updates

Mi   6 Sep 2000 22:08:56 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	  NIS corrections.

Di   5 Sep 2000 21:11:13 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* statement concerning personal e-mail to me and SUPPORT in general.

Di   5 Sep 2000 20:37:33 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* make it possible to run apsfilter in NIS environment
	  extraction of $HOMEDIR works now.
	  idea from: Volker Seebode <vas@plesnik.de>

Mo   4 Sep 2000 21:34:06 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* fixes for hpdj printers, special treatment for driver hpdj_u970
        * BITSPERPIXEL can't be changed for hpdj
        * due to popular demand: ASCII_PPS and ASCII_LANDSCAPE change the
          printout just for ASCII files, independent of PS_NUP and LANDSCAPE
          (but these provide default values if needed)
        * BINDING now uses "short" and "long" instead of psset-switches
        * fixed printing on PS-printers and during debugging

Sa   2 Sep 2000 18:53:41 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* replace list of apsfilter contributors with this link:
	  http://www.apsfilter.org/contrib.html

Sa   2 Sep 2000 12:57:15 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* added working watermark template 
	  from Andreas Reuter <ar205@bonzo.geowiss.nat.tu-bs.de>
	  this file is the basis to _dynamically_ create backgrounds
	  for every printed page, i.e.: "internal use only", "Top Secret"
	  etc. Probably we'll use it this way in the future:
		lpr -C wmark="Top Secret" file

Sa   2 Sep 2000 10:40:32 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* be more verbose about what A2PS_OPTS gives you
	  (overwrites the complete a2ps commandline)

Fr   1 Sep 2000 17:25:12 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* yes, we can remove the two entries from KNOWN_BUGS
	  These entries are no apsfilter bugs.
	  Have been added to FAQ
	* FAQ has been updated on webserver.

Fr   1 Sep 2000 16:19:35 CEST	Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

        * custom printer queue names, as suggested by Jef Moskot
        * cloning spool dir permissions with chmod (I think this needs
          the GNU version)
        * call checkpc after printcap fiddling (will be ignored by
          BSD spoolers)
        * faster code insertion for paper tray selection with awk, as
          suggested by Beat Rubischon
        * color mode fixed for hpdj
        * small changes in class option code
        * INSTALL, README and apsfilterrc updates
        * remove unneeded docu .... doc/methods, doc/features,

	and by me:
	* still keep KNOWN_BUGS have to test this ...
	* update Makefile (remove nuked stuff)
	* check for checkpc before using it.
	* add /usr/local/sbin for checkpc

Do  31 Aug 2000 20:00:33 CEST	Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

	* read command in ash already has the functionality
	  to "raw" read the input. Check if the read command
	  can handle "-r" and use it if possible
	* fix some minor bugs with PostScript handling

Mo  28 Aug 2000 18:09:55 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
        * ASCII_STYLE is gone; use PS_NUP and LANDSCAPE now (class
          options: 1pps, 2pps, 4pps, 8pps, landscape, portrait)
        * new config option: HARDWARE_DUPLEX; set this for printers
          that can handle duplex printing by themselves
        * new function: ps_postprocessing() handles all PS_UTILS etc.
        * tray selection for duplex printers (as a shell function)
        * more class options: shortbind, longbind, tray0...tray9,
          book; related config options: BINDING, PAPERTRAY, PS_BOOK
        * give some more info on how to manually flip sheets
        * SETUP: fix SMB_FLAGS line for smbclient.conf
        * use "-r" option for many read operations

	  "-c'print -'" -> "-c 'print -'"
	  Thanks to: max@dotcom.fr (Maxime Soulé)

So  27 Aug 2000 15:24:01 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	--------------------------------
	  Here are some small changes to the duplex code, more class stuff
	  and several minor tweaks:
        * duplex printing:
                - "forced simplex" mode was totally fscked up
                  (infinite loop _and_ wrong print command)
                - use psselect _or_ pstops to extract odd/even pages
                - one less temporary file
        * new function send_mail for duplex and failure messages
        * DVIPS_REVERSE and ACROREAD_REVERSE are gone; PS_UTILS
          should be used to correct _all_ file formats
        * new class options:
                - a3,a4,letter,legal,ledger  (paper size)
                - a2ps,mpage,recode  (ASCII filter)
                - 1pps,2pps,4pps,8pps  (pages per sheet)
                - border,noborder,header,noheader  (ASCII style)
                - landscape  (force orientation for ASCII and DVI)
                - simplex  (force non-duplex mode)
                - color,mono  (color handling)
        * FAQ update
        * slight manpage fixes
        * Makefile fixes
        * small cosmetic changes here and there

	changes from me:
	----------------
	* SETUP: A -> abort, I -> install a printer, Q finish installation
	  I think quit is the usual leave operation
	* hint for FreeBSD ports collection, not to install manpages
	* SETUP, apsfilter: Change my mail address to andreas@apsfilter.org
	* SETUP: make more clear how to restart the lineprinter scheduler
	* SETUP: install_man_pages:
		- document 'default' to not install manpages when simply
		  hitting RETURN, ie. when installing from FreeBSD ports
		  collection
		- its not clear if FreeBSD user used ports collection or
		  not, so ask if manual pages should be installed or not
	* SETUP: save 2 seconds sleep by combining a message
	* FAQ, use the SGML based version
	  Changes to the FAQ should directly be made to the doc tree !
	* TODO: remove resolved items, update some ITEMS and one new.

Sa  26 Aug 2000 18:26:51 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: fix permissions of $SPOOLDIR
	  700 was to restrictive for BSD.
	  TODO: "clone" permissions of $SPOOL
	* SETUP: bugfix: BSD needs /usr/sbin in PATH to find chown.
	  added /sbin as well, since this is unexpensive and possibly
	  needed for other systems.

Sa  26 Aug 2000 17:58:33 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: cosmetic, reformat menues to still fit within 25 lines

Sa  26 Aug 2000 13:48:40 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: fix: grep -c needs an argument (".") in echo "\c" | grep -c .
	  to work on FreeBSD and possibly other BSDs with GNU grep 2.4

Fr  25 Aug 2000 18:44:38 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* update apsfilter.1 man page concerning duplex printing.
	* fix default installation directory, which is now
	  /usr/local/share.
	* nuke GLOBAL.sh entirely

Fr  25 Aug 2000 17:45:21 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	  - enable apsfilter to fake a duplex PostScript printer.
	    What is basically does is:
            - extract the even pages from a ps file and print them
            - mail a notification to the user to flip the pages and
              to echo a "secret" key into a named pipe which is used
              for communication
            - wait for the key by busy-reading the named pipe
            - print the odd pages
	    This probably only supports remote printing if apsfilter
	    is running on the local host.
	    Local printers work (as far as I tested).
	    Maybe the page order of the odd pages has to be reversed
	    this can be done with a new config variable if needed.
	    BTW: use "lpr -C duplex file.ps" to try it
	  - GLOBAL.sh is gone (apsfilter and SETUP now have everything
	    "on board")
	  - apsfilter man page got an update.

Fr  25 Aug 2000 11:07:42 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP, mention USB ports for BSD ...

Di  22 Aug 2000 17:56:28 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* From Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>
	  use warn_about_missing_gs in SETUP

Di  22 Aug 2000 08:42:01 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* installation destination for FreeBSD ports collection
	  ${PREFIX}/apsfilter -> ${PREFIX}/share/apsfilter
	  reason: apsfilter libdir can be exported.
	  NFS clients theoretically could install apsfilter by
	  simply calling SETUP from the mounted directory.

Mo  21 Aug 2000 19:35:10 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* From Michael Loßin <losse@germanymail.com>:
        - decent quoting for configuration files
        - return codes for LPRng in case of fatal_*() exit (I hope
          this doesn't upset BSD-lpr)
        - use of local variables
        - TEMP directory for gs is now APS_TMPDIR (gs doesn't always
          remove its temp files; this is fixed now)
        - use of do_pager in SETUP instead of more
        - small fixes here and there

Sa  19 Aug 2000 10:47:58 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* clean up Makefile after src subdir has gone
	  create a new snapshot, since FreeBSD port apsfilter6
	  had problems with that

Mi  16 Aug 2000 11:49:01 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* make developement version available

Mi  16 Aug 2000 10:36:59 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* From Michael Loßin <losse@germanymail.com>
	  SETUP
          - mass installation of printer
          - New configuration directory (/etc/apsfilter/...)
          - raw-printer optional
          - /etc/printcap, cosmetic change
          - keep non apsfilter entries in /etc/printcap, even if overwrite
	    has been selected
          - you can skip installation of manpages.
          - Tab 4
          - minor bugfixes
          - misc optimization / fixes.
	  bin/apsfilter:
          - use new config dir /etc/apsfilter
          - prefer use of do_convert instead of do_nconvert
          - new env var RAW_PROLOGUE and RAW_EPILOGUE substitute
	    RAW_SETUP and RAW_ADD_FF
          - Bugfixes and optimizations
	  apsfilterrc changes to reflect changes in apsfilter and SETUP
	  All configuration now in /etc/apsfilter
	  a) global config for all printer - /etc/apsfilter/apsfilterrc
	  b) APS_BASEDIR in printcap is gone, new basedir file:
	     /etc/apsfilter/basedir
	  c) /etc/apsfilter/apsN  contains:
		* link  apsN-...  to  ../basedir/bin/apsfilter for :if=...:
		* apsfilterrc  (optional)
		* smbclient.conf  (optional)
		* pap.conf  (optional)
	  Advantages: everybody has access right for configuration
	  SPOOLDIR now may get restrictive access rights again !

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 16:54:52 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	    * print_ascii: Must use `a2ps -b...' instead of `a2ps -b=...'.
	    * print_pcd: pcdtoppm needs `-' as second argument.
	    * Check for LPRng Z options.
	    * print_pdf:
	      * pdftops 0.80 and earlier don't support `-q', so don't force
		it.
	      * acroread always needs to be run with `-toPostScript'.
	      * Create a temporary input file for acroread because it creates
		one in the pipeline mode too, but forgets to remove it.
	    * print_ps: A simpler default for $GS_FONTPATH and $GS_LIB.
	    * print_dvi: Simplified the setting of a default resolution.
	    * Simplified the parsing of the lock file.
	    * Noted support for WordPerfect graphics and XCF.

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 17:18:29 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* bin/apsfilter: Simplified the parsing of the lock file.
	* SETUP: Fixed a copy/paste oversight.
	* Makefile: Removed the obsolete `release' and `webpage' targets.

Mon Jul 31 22:29:17 CEST 2000	Andreas Klemm <andreas@apsfilter.org>

	* change make-release to operate on apsfilter.org
	  Matej and I are now both possible to roll apsfilter releases.

Sun, 30 Jul 2000 15:10:20 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* SETUP: Determine whether user is super-user by checking the UID
	  instead of the username.
	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * do_nconvert: Check whether pnmtops is present.
	  * Better comments.
	  * print_pdf: Support for pdftops (part of Xpdf).
	  * ash doesn't do word splitting on WORD from ${PARAMETER:+WORD},
	    while bash does.  Both should be satisfied now.

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 16:30:16 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * find_filter: Use `type' instead of `command -v' because the latter
	    (although a part of POSIX) isn't supported by the FreeBSD and the
	    NetBSD version of ash.
	  * More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	    * Support for FBM, FITS, IFF ILBM, MGR, MIFF, Kodak Photo CD, PNG,
	      RLE, SGI, Sketch, Targa, WordPerfect graphics, GIMP XCF,
	      X pixmap.
	    * print_ascii: Renamed $A2PS_STYLE, $A2PS_BORDER, $A2PS_HEADER to
	      $ASCII_STYLE, $ASCII_BORDER, $ASCII_HEADER, respectively; now
	      used both by a2ps and mpage.  Added a default for $MPAGE_BASIC.
	    * Shortened class options handling.
	    * Process LPRng Z options like class options.
	  * (By Andreas.)  unpack: Run file without -b since the FreeBSD
	    version doesn't support it.
	  * Fixed a quoting problem with $A2PS_BASIC, $HTML2PS_OPTS, and
	    $RECODE_OPTS.
	  * print_dvi: Always run dvips with `-q -o -'.
	  * Renamed the convert and the nconvert function to do_convert and
	    do_nconvert, respectively, to avoid convert and nconvert being
	    always detected as present by type in find_filter.
	  * Style and consistency improvements.
	  * print_ps: Use $PS_INIT for UPP printers too.
	* template/apsfilterrc:
	  * Corrected `PSUTILS' to `PS_UTILS'.  Removed a superfluous `|'.
	  * Corrected a `=' to `!'.
	  * Commented out default values.
	* Moved $NOTIFY from global/GLOBAL.sh to template/apsfilterrc since it
	  is used only in apsfilter.

	* Testing: reverted to shell syntax for configuration files.  If you
	  want user configuration files, you should run apsfilter under a
	  specialized UID -- see the apsfilterrc template.

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:22:18 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	    * Support for convert (part of ImageMagick).
	    * Support for PGM.
	    * Support for nconvert (part of XnView).
	  * Changed indent to 4 spaces for readability; made everything fit in
	    78 columns for context diff.

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 18:21:20 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@apsfilter.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * Reworked the option processing.
	  * Style and consistency improvements.
	* More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	  * bin/apsfilter:
	    * Print raw when given the -c option.
	    * LPRng provides $SPOOL_DIR.
	    * print_ps: Check whether gs is installed.
	    * print_sunraster: Fixed missing evaluation.
	  * lib/redir_gs_msg.ps: Removed because it doesn't work on gs 6.01.

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 15:48:48 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * Reworked the handling of temporary files -- using a temporary
	    subdirectory is simpler to implement and more portable.
	  * More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	    * Run dvips in secure mode (-R).
	    * Run html2ps in grayscale (-g) when appropriate.
	    * Run djpeg without `-colors 256'.
	    * Get $HOMEDIR via tilde expansion when available.
	  * Fixed a missing bracket.
	  * Run groff in safer mode (-S).

	* Filter presence is now checked at run-time; filtersetup is gone.
	  Still need to update the documentation...

	* Merged from the RELENG_5 branch:
	  * HP DJ 970C support.  hpdj bug fixes.
	  * PAP support.
	  * bin/apsfilter:
	    * Run acroread with -fast; also -reverse when appropriate.
	    * Discard -dBitPerPixel options for the hpdj driver -- it doesn't
	      like them.
	    * Run gs 6.x using -_ instead of - for efficiency.
	    * Replaced $RAW_SUPPRESS_FF with $RAW_ADD_FF.
	  * SETUP: Use the suppress formfeed (sf) printcap setting for raw.
	  * Removed occurences of /etc/apsfilterrc from the documentation.
	  * New/revised uniprint profiles from
	    Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>.

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 23:02:10 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* More contributions from Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>:
	  * bin/apsfilter:
	    * SIGINT is no longer ignored.
	    * Fixed a missing redirection.
	    * Always export $GS_LIB.
	    * unpack: Pass on the handler command line when recursing.
	    * Stricter label checking.
	    * When LPRng is used, parse the command line options instead of
	      $CONTROL.
	  * Epson Stylus Color 640 profiles updated.

Fr  26 Mai 2000 13:39:24 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP: tell the user, that he has to use at least gs version 5.50,
	  but 6.01 is really recommended.

Fr  26 Mai 2000 12:22:59 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* new file doc/README.SuSE, installation hints for SuSE 6.3 and 6.4
	  submitted by robin@cosby.demon.co.uk

Do  25 Mai 2000 21:42:12 CEST   Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

        * make-release: path for sitebackup directory changed
        * make-release: use diff -kk

Mi  24 Mai 2000 17:38:04 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* call apsfilter-current apsfilter 6.0

Sun, 14 May 2000 03:18:12 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* bin/apsfilter: Corrected `$GS_VERSION' to `$gs_version', as noted by
	  Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>.

Wed, 10 May 2000 18:16:35 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* Added preliminary mpage support, as suggested by Michael Lossin
	  <losse@germanymail.com>.

Sat,  6 May 2000 18:21:27 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* Implemented the rest of the suggestions from Michael Lossin
	  <losse@germanymail.com>:
	  * bin/apsfilter:
	    * Print recode(1) output using print_raw.
	    * Look for `*.upp' instead of `uniprint' in print_dvi.
	  * SETUP:
	    * Disabled changing the resolution on Uniprint and PostScript
	      printers.
	  * Added the uniprint profiles for Epson Stylus Color 640.

Thu,  4 May 2000 22:26:52 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* bin/apsfilter: Fixed a design flaw in the rewrite -- files were not
	  unpacked for `lpr -C ascii' -- by separating the auto_print function
	  to two new functions, unpack and print_auto, and calling them
	  appropriately.

Wed,  3 May 2000 07:19:53 +0200	Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

	* bin/apsfilter:
	  * An experimental rewrite.
	  * Added search for sendmail in several standard places.
	  * Fixed the control file location determination for lpr.
	  * Replaced dd with tr because of the size difference on FreeBSD.
	  * Fixed print_raw to comply with the general calling convention.
	  * Changed to new recode invocation syntax.
	    Thanks to Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com> for noting this.

	* setup/filtersetup: Added mktemp and pdf2ps to $SUPPORTED_FILTERS.

	* TODO: Spelling correction.

Di   2 Mai 2000 01:36:06 CEST   Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

        * released apsfilter 5.4.3 as release branch for RELENG_5
        * introduce tag RELENG_5 for apsfilter-stable
        * HEAD branch is apsfilter-current, which will become
          apsfilter 6.x in the future ...

So  30 Apr 2000 16:34:53 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* roll release 5.4.2

So  30 Apr 2000 16:34:53 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Change make-release for better Apsfilter Software Center webpage.
		- don't create hypertext links for old apsfilter releases
		- but provide patches for updates

	* remove note about manually installing manpages on Linux Systems

	* update version number in different files as always

	* new TODO item: automate update of apsfilter release number
	  should perhaps go into make-release, since make-release _has_
	  to be updated manually.

Do  27 Apr 2000 21:19:16 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* APSFILTERRC hasn't been used, so INSECURE didn't have any effect

Mi  26 Apr 2000 06:31:25 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* rolled release 5.4.1

Di  25 Apr 2000 22:43:11 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Update infos (News) in SETUP
	  Change setup, that internet resources stay on screen as last point

Di  25 Apr 2000 21:59:00 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* come-back of INSECURE variable
	  reading environment variables from user customizeable apsfilterrc
	  files is still NOT save and therefore forbidden by default !
	  You have to set it as administrator in every apsfilterrc file
	  (in every printers spooldir)
	  Reading variables using awk was a major improvement over sourcing
	  the apsfilter files (executing them as script),
	  but these two problems remain:

		- ENVVAR="evil_script", eval $ENVVAR
		- ENVVAR="`evil_script`"

	  apsfilter security fix is:

		if [ -n "$INSECURE" ]; then
			APSFILTERRC="$SPOOL_DIR/apsfilterrc \
				$HOME_DIR/.apsfilter/apsfilterrc.${LABEL}"
		else
			APSFILTERRC="$SPOOL_DIR/apsfilterrc"
		fi

Di  25 Apr 2000 20:41:10 CEST

	* TMP has to be declared before using ID for debugging permissions

Mo  24 Apr 2000 14:04:56 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter:
		- style put '"' around variable names in apsfilter
		- style use tabs instead of spaces in CLASS section

	* additions to Matej's hpdj support
		- set HPDJ_MODEL before CLASS features
		- if driver is only called hpdj in list of supported printers
		  then set HPDJ_MODEL to unspec, which causes the HPDJ driver
		  to produce code for newer DeskJets
		- user is permitted to choose another HPDJ printer model
		  via CLASS support (lpr -C)
		- added many hpdj driver options, available via CLASS support
		  (lpr -C)

Mo  24 Apr 2000 12:00:04 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* filtersetup: after making use of mktemp to create a workfile
	  filters_found file has been created with unsufficient read
	  permissions (0600) for apsfilter script

Mo  24 Apr 2000 10:48:35 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Patches from Debian Project
	  Big thanks to Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>
	  especially for his patience ;-)

	- code improvements SETUP, GLOBAL.sh
		- do_pager function
		- do_view_perflog and gs -h uses new do_pager function
		- better newline on echo detection (without tmp file)
	- bugfixes
		- GLOBAL.sh:
			- missing #!/bin/sh
		- SETUP:
			- no testpage in serial setup
			- Startbits unimplemented
	- support for Martin Lottermoser's hpdj driver
	  got patches for apsfilter 5.1.4, changed it to fit in 5.4.x
	- apsfilter -> a2ps: LPRng uses `(STDIN)' for jobs
		 coming from stdin, strip this as well from header
	- "spalling" errors ;-)

So  23 Apr 2000 19:45:05 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP, apsfilter:
	  reduce the amount of printcap entries to 2
	  ascii printer can vanish
	  if you want to treat file as ASCII file, then use CLASS option:
	  lpr -C ascii

So  23 Apr 2000 19:12:42 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* use acroread4 or acroread for printing pdf files, it
	  produces better PS code
	  don't pipe through acroread since it leaves a tmp file in tmpdir
	  add acroread4 and acroread to filtersetup
	  From: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

So  23 Apr 2000 19:06:20 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter -> print_dvi
	  use 360x360dpi when printing DVI files using uniprint driver

So  23 Apr 2000 19:02:30 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter: Use additionally to GS_FONTPATH GS_LIB
	  then additional Fontmap files are also read in
	  From: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

So  23 Apr 2000 18:53:00 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter + SETUP:
	  gs: use -_ instead of - when reading from pipe
	  Use.html: The difference between "-" and "-_" is that
	  "-" reads the input one character at a time, which is useful
	  for programs such as GSview that generate input for Ghostscript
	  dynamically and watch for some response, whereas "-_" reads the
	  input in blocks, which is more efficient for ordinary (batch)
	  execution.                         
	  obtained from: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

So  23 Apr 2000 18:44:56 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* add -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER when printing with uniprint driver
	  although all upp driver (gs 6.01) already contain this.
	  To be sure...
	  obtained from: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

So  23 Apr 2000 18:17:56 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* add missing evals in print_ functions
	  detected by: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

So  23 Apr 2000 13:33:19 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter, setup, GLOBAL.sh, uppdescr
	  use mktemp to create tmp file names
	  failover to "less secure" method if mktemp fails for some reason
	  removed it from TODO list
	  use of mktemp suggested by: Michael Lossin <losse@germanymail.com>

	* add Michael to list of contributors

	* SETUP, style: print test page functions better formatted by
	  splitting funtion into two parts

Fr  21 Apr 2000 23:33:05 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* remove unnecessary TODOs

	* INSTALL/TODO: installation of Linux manpages

Fr  21 Apr 2000 21:52:47 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Clean import of patch submission from
	  Bjorn Hansson <Bjorn.Hansson@signal.uu.se>
	  SETUP:
	  - Print as Windows GUEST user, yes/no fix
	  - fix print test page on samba printer
	  apsfilter:
	  - Printing to a remote printer through apsfilter results in an empty
	    SPOOL_DIR. This should either be considered a misconfiguration of
	    apsfilter (easiest) or be handled (on my RedHat system the working
	    directory is the spool directory).
  	  - Printing files other than PostScript cannot be redirected to a Samba
	    printer (or remote). Also, choosing PRINT_TO_FILE for a Samba or 
	    remote printer still results in data sent to Samba printer.
  	  - Printing to Samba printer did not work if ip no. and/or workgroup
	    were absent.
	  - Print redirection missing for non PS print_xxxx() functions.
	  - Raw printing to a HP printer does not reset printer.
	  - Some eval:s missing (or am I completely wrong here) in front of
	    $PRINT_PS string, see print_html and print_sunraster.
	  - If no ip no. and/or workgroup were given, the test page couldn't be
	    printed on a samba printer.
	  - patch that makes it possible to choose remote printers in the same
	    way Samba printers are chosen, i.e. through a .conf file in the spool
	    directory. It uses the file lpr.conf

Fr  21 Apr 2000 21:01:00 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* INSTALL:
	  - Add note to read platform specific installation notes,
	    i.e. doc/README.TurboLinux
	  - comments on different print resolution when using uniprint driver
	  from: Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>

Fr  21 Apr 2000 19:42:00 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* uniprint driver profile finetuning
	  by Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
	  medium definition driver (lqx70cm.upp) changed to unidirectional 
	  print to reduce alignment problems. It is only slightly slower,
	  but produces much nicer print.

Fr  21 Apr 2000 19:42:00 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

So  12 Mär 2000 09:19:49 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Forgot to mention:
	  Released apsfilter 5.2.0

Sa  11 Mär 2000 17:54:30 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP + apsfilter
	  allow windows (samba) remote printing as 
		- GUEST user
		- real user and (optionally) password
	* SETUP: allow printing of testpage on local, local Postscript
	  and windows remote printer (via smbclient -> SAMBA)
	* Change version to 520
	* update INSTALL and ANNOUNCE file

Mi   8 Mär 2000 20:02:58 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* write GS_RESOL only to apsfilterrc file, if
	  resolution = default has been chosen.
	  This is because the x-res/y-res in the symlink name
	  (if=....) has now precedence over everything.
	  Only if you choose default, then you can use GS_RESOL
	  to customize print resolution

Di   7 Mär 2000 22:27:26 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP fixes, you can now toggle back to gs default resolution
	* SETUP: when overwriting printcap it will be nuked entirely
	* SETUP: when adding entries to printcap old entries won't be
	  commented out
	* complete revamp of print resolution.
	* Now you can create different printer with different resolution
	* if you choose default print resolution, then you are allowed
	  to overwrite print resolution in apsfilterrc with GS_RESOL
	  value

Di   7 Mär 2000 21:15:38 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP creates symlinks with print resolution or "default"
	* If you need two different print resolutions, simply create
	  2 printers with SETUP.

Di   7 Mär 2000 19:39:34 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* reduce the amount of printer entries per printer
	  I think it's matter of the application to do color or b&w printing
	  So we have now 3 printcap entries per printer
	* Introduce apsfilterrc variable color, to make it possible
	  to choose "mono" if needed

Di   7 Mär 2000 17:20:01 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP / Global.sh / apsfilter / make-release : prepare for 5.2.0

Di   7 Mär 2000 13:50:37 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* revamp control over a2ps operation and look&feel
	  either configure
		- A2PS_OPTS
		- or a combination of
		  A2PS_BASIC A2PS_STYLE A2PS_BORDER A2PS_HEADER

	  A2PS_OPTS  =	overwrites complete a2ps command line,
			only exception: apsfilter auto file type recognition
			adds a file type parameter
	  A2PS_BASIC  = basic options
	  A2PS_STYLE  = how many pages per sheet, portrait or landscape
	  A2PS_HEADER = want a page header
	  A2PS_BORDER = want a border around pages
	  A2PS_PAPERSIZE = want to use an own customized a2ps printertype
			which has been defined in /usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg

Di   7 Mär 2000 13:03:33 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* fixes in SETUP because of new config variables

	  PAGES_REVERSE_ORDER		DVIPS_REVERSE

	* apsfilterrc files have different format defining above variables
	  field separator is "!" (because all other possible good signs are
	  already used by command options), i.e.:
	  A2PS_FEATURES!1n!
	  Please use the 2nd "=", so that only "1n" will be fetched and
	  nothing more from the rest of the line which might be a comment.
	  note: the file itself looks like shell syntax, but won't be sourced !

	* changed the field separator of smbclient.conf file from ':' to '!'
	  so that this is unique within apsfilter
	  SETUP and apsfilter script are affected

	* modified apsfilterrc template file to reflect new file format
	  (field separator '!')

	* modified SETUP to write some defaults in that format.

Mo   6 Mär 2000 23:58:36 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* fix samba remote printing, -c 'print -' was missing...

Mo   6 Mär 2000 21:31:17 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Extended samba support
	  SAMBA printer is automatically recognized if there is a
	  smbclient.conf file in the printers spool directory
	  Following format:
		SMB_SERVER:SALOME:	# NetBIOS name, i.e.: "NT40SRV"
		SMB_PRINTER:EPSON:	# service (printer) name, i.e.: "EPSON"
		SMB_IP:172.16.1.2:	# IP Address of NetBIOS server
		SMB_WORKGROUP:KLEMM:	# Workgroup Name
		SMB_BUFFER:1200:	# finetune send buffer size (def. 65520)
		SMB_FLAGS:-N:		# suppress password prompt
	  The environment variable SAMBA_PRINTER is unnecessary now
	* Added Samba Printer support in SETUP
	* trim sleeps a bit in SETUP

Mo   6 Mär 2000 19:13:12 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* when testing and setting PRINT_TO_FILE
	  if you want trash:
	  	KEEP_PRINTOUT="YES" # set to keep $TMP_PRINTOUT          
	  if you want to postprocess tmp printout with gs
		POSTPROCESS_PRINTOUT="YES" # set to pipe it through PRINT_PS
	* style: "! -z" -> "-n" in string tests
	* GLOBAL.sh: add /home/local/bin as local path

Mo   6 Mär 2000 13:35:12 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* some style fixes from Debian concerning tmp file handling
	  in apsfilter. Declare tmp variables at the beginning of
	  apsfilter.
	* introduce TMP variable, might be set to /var/tmp,
	  if root- or memory filesystem too small
	* document PRINT_REMOTE a little bit more verbose
	* Fix e-mail address in README, to get postal address

Do   2 Mär 2000 17:30:14 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* released apsfilter 5.1.5

Do   2 Mär 2000 17:13:24 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP: added support for configuring remote printer
	  Beware: you still have to make sure, that your line printer
	  scheduler supports input filter processing with remote printers
	  as it is the case for FreeBSD 3.x and later with a "fixed" lpd
	  as well as for Unix systems with LPRng installed as lineprinter
	  scheduler, which is the case for some (not all !!!) Linux Systems.
	* updated HOWTO-BUGREPORT, former name APS-BUGFORM, moved it to toplevel
	* updated TROUBLESHOOTING

Do   2 Mär 2000 16:38:25 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Added menue entries in SETUP for the contributed uniprint
	  driver settings for Epson Stylus Color 740
		stc740ih.upp : Epson Stylus Color 740, 1440x720DpI, Inkjet Paper
		stc740p.upp  : Epson Stylus Color 740, 720x720DpI, Plain Paper
		stc740pl.upp : Epson Stylus Color 740, 360x360DpI, Plain Paper

Do   2 Mär 2000 14:26:45 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Bugfix for installing multiple printer of different flavor

	  Old behaviour: SETUP creats an /etc/apsfilterrc file for
	  1st printer. When installing 2nd printer - which differs in
	  gs-driver - then /etc/apsfilterrc file gets overwritten 
	  and the settings at the end of apsfilterrc file are lost.
	  Even worse, your 1st printer which might be a color printer
	  might be confused by the B&W settings of the 2nd printer.

	  FIX:	/etc/apsfilterrc (global settings, created only by 
		system administrator, not SETUP script)
	  SETUP now installs only
		/etc/apsfilterrc.PRINTER config file

	* changes in SETUP and apsfilter to get rid of UP_PROFILE
	  variable. apsfilter script now is capable of detecting
	  uniprint driver by scanning the name of the printer:
	    case $PRINTER in
		*.upp) PRINT_PS="gs command with uniprint syntax";;
		*) PRINT_PS="gs command with normal syntax";;
	    esac

	* Default for A2PS_OPTS still wrong ... did it right now
	  Got a wrong submission from a user and I didn't test it
	  thoroughly in the past
	  -X iso1 --portrait --no-header --borders=no -1

So   2 Jan 2000 16:49:46 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

So   2 Jan 2000 15:48:16 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* rodney simioni <rodneysimioni@yahoo.com>
	  SETUP and setup/filtersetup doesn't run under Solaris 7
	  /bin/sh doesn't grok [ -z $var ], have to use
	  [ -z "$var" ] like in apsfilter script
	* make-release changes, so that only _missing_ apsfilter
	  release tar archives are re-created to prevent frequent
	  md5 checksum changes...

So  28 Nov 1999 11:06:36 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* Update FAQ, how to get rid of the borders when printing
	  ASCII documents.
	* Change apsfilterrc, to state out, that A2PS_OPTS is the
	  now recommended way to configure a2ps text formatting
	* Be more verbose about difference of legacy config option
	  FEATURE and the A2PS_OPTS config variable, wich overwrites
	  a2ps printing options completely.
	* Feature request by John Culleton <john@ccpl.carr.org>:
	  Changed default to print portrait without border, since
	  many people seem to want this as (better) default.

	  Lars Köller. Now we have a umask of 077.

	* Better guidance to uniprint drivers, it was previously
	  a little bit hidden.

	* SETUP many display enhancements to make the setup script
	  more informative for the user.

	* change destination (download directory) in make-release script
	  after homepage directory redesign.

		fi                                

Do   3 Jun 1999 13:56:58 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* SETUP: print time to compute testpage and time to print testpage

	* SETUP: pipe these times with tee into logfile, to help to decide 
	  later, which driver to choose...

	* when selecting uniprint, don't show uniprint in SETUP menue, instead
	  display selected uniprint driver settings...

	* apsfilter: missing PAPERSIZE in PRINT_PS command for uniprint

	* SETUP: missing PAPERSIZE in PRINT_PS command for uniprint

	* Andreas Reuter <ar205@bonzo.geowiss.nat.tu-bs.de>
	  contributed a PS file (redir_gs_msg.ps) to redirect Postscript

	  Needed for lpr -P{low,medium,high}

Di  25 Mai 1999 22:16:25 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* make use of psutils package to print 2 pages on one
	  added this to PRINT_PS variable
	  to enable this you only have to set PSUTILS in
	  one of the apsfilterrc files
	  Then two pages on one is not only limited to print_ascii

Mo  24 Mai 1999 11:44:08 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* release apsfilter 5.11

	* fix resolution calculation, don't simply default to 300dpi
	  if user only want's to use gs-driver default resolution.
	  This leads to the necessary change to move code concerning
	  dvips resolution calculation into print_dvips routine.

	* enhance apsfilter bugform

	* move entry of rogue printers into other case struct

	* cosmetic changes, move copyright more in front...

So  23 Mai 1999 13:00:59 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* release apsfilter 5.10

	* changes for FreeBSD ports collection:
	  don't call SETUP automatically on "make install"
	  so isn't interactive anymore, so IS_INTERACTIVE has gone and
	  apsfilter will reside on the next FreeBSD CD-ROM...

	* remove all occurrences of BETA version ....

	* add env variable for dvips PAGES_REVERSE_ORDER to force adding
	  -r switch, apsfilterrc updated as well

	* revamped the code to detect print resolution, now we have
	  the following variables and priorities (a) is highest prio)
		RESOLUTION is used for ghostscript commandline
			(for setting GS_CMD_RESOL)
		XRES is used for setting resolution on dvips commandline
	  a) if resolution is part of filter script name
		 DPI=XXXxYYY
		 -> RESOLUTION=$DPI
		 -> XRES=XXX, YRES=YYY
	  b) if DPI is not set and
	     if GS_RESOL has been set by the user (XXXxYYY)
		 -> RESOLUTION=$GS_RESOL
		 -> XRES=XXX, YRES=YYY
	  c) if DPI and GS_RESOL have not been set
	     and we have a PS printer PS_xxx, then set:
	         -> RESOLUTION=XXXxYYY
	         -> XRES=XXX, YRES=YYY
	  d) default to 300dpi, to be able to set resolution 
	     for dvips commandline, gs uses the default resolution
	     of the printer driver...
	         -> RESOLUTION=""
	         -> XRES=300, YRES=300

	* add installation instructions to INSTALL, how to manually
	  configure apsfilter, to use different print resolutions, to
	  get the following functionality:
		lpr -Plow test.ps	(print in 180dpi)
		lpr -Pmed test.ps	(print in 360dpi)
		lpr -Phigh test.ps	(print in 720dpi)

	* save UP_PROFILE variable in SETUP.cfg as well

	* Get some enhancements from SuSE version of apsfilter (v 1.6)
	  with some modifications
		- CRLF translation and perforation skip for more HP models
		- printer type dependend apsfilter setup files with the
		  following precedence:
			/etc/apsfilterrc
			/etc/apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
			$HOME/.apsfilterrc
			$HOME/.apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
		- new GS_FONTPATH environment variable to make use of
		  additional fonts, i.e.: X11R6's type1 fonts
		  a) can be set in apsfilterrc files
		  b) if not set it defaults to
			/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 or
			/var/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
		- default printer resolution now also defineable
		  in apsfilter filter script name
		  please note, apsfilterrc file settings GS_RESOL
		  have precedence over the new configuration scheme
		- new user settable environment variable USE_RECODE_NOT_A2PS
		  use recode instead of a2ps to print ascii files, so:
		  - print_ascii has been renamed to print_ascii_a2ps
		  - new shell function print_ascii_recode has been introduced
		- new environment variable RECODE_OPTS
		  defaults to "-q latin1:ibmpc"
		  overwriteable by the apsfilterrc files
		- new supported filetypes
			- bmp
			- FAX G3
			- troff

	* some dvips settings cleanup, use -Z only when resol >= 400dpi

	* cosmetic, sort order of shell functions for printing and
	  "case" structure by file type

	* when printing html use some sane defaults for HTML2PS_OPTS
	  if not set in apsfilterrc files

Mo   1 Mär 1999 16:41:21 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* RELEASED apsfilter 5.0.1 

	* file command now doesn't need to read from stdin, I forgot this
	  in 5.0.0, now file works directly on the tmp file. Had to remove
	  one "shift" to make this work properly.

	* Added this to the contrib section
	  From: Skliarouk Peter <penn@usa.net>
	  Wrote filter for russian fonts for matrix 9-pin printers.
	  It uses only ESC-consequences to transform chars to theirs
	  graphics representations.

Do  18 Feb 1999 22:13:29 CET	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	RELEASED apsfilter 5.0.0

Do  18 Feb 1999 21:15:27 CET	Joachim Achtzehnter <joachim@kraut.bc.ca>

	* LPRng support
	* writing the first 8k into a tmp file makes rewindstdin unnecessary

	* apsfilter 4.9.8 released
	* support printing of PDF files, sorry we need tmp files,
	  since pdf2ps (gs) needs direct file access, see gs docu
	* fix bug in SETUP script, when having a color printer,
	  create the necessary printcap entries and spooldirs
	* set the default printer "lp" to the auto-color printer
	  if you have a color printer. New variable 
	  DEFAULT_PRINTER controls this (2=mono, 4=color)
	* fix mksymlinks utility, create all necessary color links

Do   4 Jun 1998 23:17:20 CEST   Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* apsfilter 4.9.7 released
	* Added support for new HP DeskJet Driver in FreeBSD port of
	  ghostscript 5.10. As a result apsfilters SETUP needs to know
	  about the new printer drivers.
	  See:		http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850.html
			http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850-readme.1.3.html
	* Put license.hp8 and readme.hp8 files from the new HP driver
	  into the doc directory. PLEASE READ THE README FILE, IT
	  CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFOS, WHAT THE NEW DRIVERS DO AND WHAT NOT.
	  THE OUTPUT OF THE NEW DRIVERS CAN BECOME HUGE !!!
	* If you want that for Linux as well, you have to patch the 
	  ghostscript sources and to rebuild ghostscript 5.10.
	  The URL's above contain some (not complete) instructions
	  how to do that.
	* For more hints you can browse through my diffs in the 
	  FreeBSD ports collection.

	*  apsfilter 4.9.6 released

Di  26 Mai 1998 21:10:11 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>

	* From: Neil Hart <nhart@magma.ca>
	1. the script setup/compile refers to the directory a2ps-4.2-akl-new,
	   but the source is actually in the directory a2ps-4.2-akl
	2. the script setup/compile doesn't invoke Makefile.linux, but 
	   instead simply defaults to use the (non-functional) Makefile
	   in that directory
	3. the install_it script in the rewind-stdin directory has the 
	   line ''cp rewindstdin $BINDIR" commented out, so it never
	   actually installs the program

So  17 Mai 1998 22:59:07 CEST	Andreas Klemm <andreas@klemm.gtn.com>
	* Release 4.9.5
	* Nice idea from wizant.keidel@t-online.de (J.Keidel)

	* released apsfilter 4.9.2, special version for FreeBSD 4.9.2
	  but same functionality as 4.9.1, so Linux users don't are
	  in any disadvantage ;-)


	* make some little changes to apsfilter 4.9.1 to fit into
	  FreeBSD package format fine ;-)
	* Added in setup a README file
	* Modified the README in template
	* globally changed version numbers to 4.9.2
	* Modified ANNOUNCE file to inform people, that 4.9.2 is functionally

	* Klaus-Dieter Henkel <henkel@aega84.AAT-F.AEG-F.DE>:
	  can't print PS and ASCII files onto a PS printer, because of 
	  "HAVE_GS = True" checks in the wrong context. Obviously he doesn't 
	  need ghostscript when having a PS printer. Moved the check to the 
	  4th section when creating the PRINT_PS variable.
	  Thanks, this was a important fix !!
	* Andrew Young <aty@mintaka.sdsu.edu>
	  Mr. ispell && grammer checker ;-))
	  fixed some chicken english mistakes ;-))

	- Test for empty variables changed ( -z "$XXX" )
	- okidisplay.tar.gz into new contribution dir

Mon May  1 17:41:25 MET DST 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.GUN.de>

	* bin/setup_dvips.sh fixed: RES=RES_X added

Mon May  1 13:54:51 MET DST 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.GUN.de>

	* 4.9 Test release released

	* Since there seem to be two different flavours of dvips program,
	  I introduced a DVIPS_RESOL_DorP Flag, to use -P or -D option when
	  changing print resulution. Defaults to -D for Thomas Essers
	  dvips (teTeX-0.3).

	* Added an INSECURE Flag that can be set in /etc/apsfilterrc
	  globally. Only by setting INSECURE to True, its possible,
	  that users custom configuration file is executed with
	  lpd (sometimes root) Permissions.

Thu Mar  2 20:05:38 1995  Thomas Bueschgens  <sledge@hammer.oche.de>

	* created setup_dvip.sh to support newer versions of dvips. Thanks
	  to Thomas Esser for some metafont-tips.

	* created README.TeX, just first version, but it'll suffice :-)

	* Changed -D (RES) to -P (RES) in apsfilter (DVIPS_OPTS)

Mon Feb  6 19:30:55 MET 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* uphya001@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (Lars Koeller)
	  His flavour of file command prompts with
	  "ascii text (with  escape sequences)" when printing
	  PCL (HP command language) files. So the case structure
	  gets an alternative *escape*|*data*). And the case data
	  has to be moved before the case ascii clause.

Tue Jan 31 12:54:07 MET 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* joe@fred.iaas-berlin.de (Joachim Schoenberg):
	  - in 4.9-gamma, typo in line 461, wrong fi at end of a command
	  - added "from $LOGINNAME" in fault filetype (for network print.)

Sat Jan 28 19:10:12 MET 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* joe@fred.iaas-berlin.de (Joachim Schoenberg):
	  print data failed, solution: case *data*)

	* eleminated GS_RESOL in apsfilter script. Trust ghostscripts defaults
	  in its printer driver. If you need it, the set it via apsfilterrc.
	  Modified sample apsfilterrc file.

Mon Jan  2 20:17:49 MET 1995 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* daub@einstein.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de:
	  apsfilter: A2PS_STD_OPTS changed to A2PS_STD_OPTIONS

	* Christoph Junge <chris@cj.in-berlin.de>:
	  esc2 wrong -> escp2, changed in apsfilter
	  added st800, Stylus support.

	* Michael_Nelson <nelson@seahunt.imat.com>
	  FAQ: problems with LJIII and 1 MB Ram when printing
	  with a2ps two pages on one and resol. = 300dpi.
	  Solution: resol 150x150.

	* SETUP: touch SPOOLDIR/lock and chmod 644 for Slackware 
	  2.1.0 necessary.

	* Corey Sweeney <corey@bbs.xnet.com> and many others ...
	  want remote printing functionality ... ;-)
	  Here it is, the ugly hack:
	  bin/apsfilter: when setting REMOTE_PRINTER=True
	  then we print to a printer named remote.
	  So make a printer entry in /etc/printcap for your
	  printer named remote and set the environment variable
	  in bin/apsfilter ( ~ line 55)
	  Please note, now everything is being sent to the 
	  _one_ remote printer ... sorry ... !!!!
	  Added some comments to the FAQ.

	* Donald R. Newcomb <dnewcomb@whale.st.usm.edu>
	  Support for Panasonic KX-1123 (KX-1123P?).
	  Take type epson. Added epson support in bin/apsfilter
	  Hope dvips X and Y coordinates 360x180 are in the correct
	  order ... I'll hear from you ;-) FAQ updated.

	* Lucas James <jj@ldjpc.apana.org.au>
	  rewindstdin fails for FreeBSD 2.X, because of the new
	  64 bit offsets. Added support for FreeBSD 2.X.

	* From: Thorsten Frigger <thorsten@elmos.elmos.de>
	  SunOS 4.1.X / Solaris 1.1.X - file(1) can't read from pipe
	  Added FreeBSD's sources of file command. Solaris sysadms
	  can now fiddle around with that version. But beware, you
	  are on your own ... Don't know if its suitable to replace
	  the originally file command completely ... be careful !!!

	* Steve Whorwood <steve@vertex.demon.co.uk>
	  Patch for a2ps.c. Slackware 2.0 with man 1.3 produces
	  other escape sequences for boldface, so a2ps fails
	  printing boldface correctly when printing manpages.
	  A fix for a2ps.c in the src tree provided ....

	* bumped version counter to 4.9 in different files

	* Updated FAQ

	* fixed Toms e-mail address in the file DONATIONS,
	  to keep him happy ;-)

Tue Nov  1 09:20:17 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	Stefan Roehrich <sr@stefan.tricbbs.fn.sub.org>
	* changed typo in apsfilter, esc2 -> escp2.

Sun Oct  9 19:39:06 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* changed mknew, not to include new and unfinished setupaps
	  stuff and RCS files for rel 481.

	* gs isn't a public domain product. Changed this in ANNOUNCE 
	  and WHO_AM_I. Hope I removed all occurrences.

	* rolled Rel. 481

Sun Oct  2 17:27:51 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* Vince Skahan wanted landscape printing:
	  Added a new a2ps feature in apsfilter: 1l and 1ln
	  Allows you to print one page landscape with and without
	  header.
	  Changed the code around a2ps, basic (needed) a2ps opts,
	  that must be kept even if user overwrite the A2PS_OPTS
	  variable in their apsfilterrc files. Updated apsfilterrc file.

Sun Oct  2 13:39:22 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* bcr@physics.purdue.edu (Bill C. Riemers) asks for more security, so:
	  Security enhancements to SETUP. Check if we are installed
	  in a directory, that is owned by root, daemon or bin.
	  Otherwise inform user, ask for permission to fix it,
	  show user waht will be done. Exit, if user isn't willed
	  to give us permissions ...
	  Only exception are our developement machines knobel and
	  hammer ... since we develope under our user accounts ... ;-)

Fri Sep 30 10:43:06 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* Work on bug (7), try to give each printer his own spool dir.

Sun Sep 25 17:48:12 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* changed mknew, so that GNU tar follows symbolic links

	* introduced a form to report bugs APS-BUG-FORM
	  added this info into INSTALL file

	* bumped version to 4.8, changed 4.8 to 48 in GLOBAL.sh
	  so that mknew produces aps-48.tgz, as announced !!!

Sun Sep 25 12:55:41 MET 1994 Andreas Klemm

	* removed the silly benchmark from SETUP

	* a2ps manpage will be installed if certain fix
	  man-dirs are found.

	* added option -nL for a2ps to suppress the user Login ID
	  as well when printing pages with no borders
	  (FEATURE 1n and 2n)

	* updated documentation / installation

	* introduced a TROUBLESHOOTING file, debugging hints ...

	* changed the name of the variable DEBUG_TO_FILE 
	  to PRINT_TO_FILE to make more clear, that print data
	  will be put into this file.
	  Real debugging output will be found in the file
	  PRINTER_SPOOLDIR/log as before !

	* disabled debugging in the filter for the final 
	  _release_ version 4.8

	* added LOCAL_PATH in global/GLOBAL.sh, to be in sync with
	  TROUBLSHOOTING docu, how to add more local search paths
	  to needed programs.

	* updated docu a bit. renamed some files, added some files
	  to be more clear.

Sat Sep 17 20:27:36 1994  Thomas Bueschgens  (sledge@hammer.oche.de)

	* Added PROBLEMS file so people know what to do in case of
	  trouble, whom to send mail to and so on!

	* Let RCS take over the revision/release-numbers to avoid those
	  4.01Beta-names!! Two number should be sufficient, right?

	* README: added pointer where to get pbmplus & jpeg-stuff if
	  someone needs to add this stuff to his machine to print
	  pictures.

	* setup/filtersetup: added support for djpeg needed for printing
	  JPEG-Pictures. Introduces HAVE_DJPEG for  apsfilter
	  automatically.

	* bin/apsfilter.tom: added support for JPEG-pictures for both,
	  color and mono-printer. Due to that new Variable DJPEG_OPTS
	  which is set depending on color/mono-printer.

Wed Aug 31 21:28:20 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* rolled new version 403 Beta

Wed Aug 31 21:23:36 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* bug in SETUP, filtersetup run very early and don't find
	  a2ps and rewindstdin, filtersetup wasn't repeated later,
	  when a2ps and rewindstdin are compiled and installed ...

	* since we compile in background, we wait for that ...

	* introduced fun stuff ... do you have humour ?! ;-)

Sat Aug 27 18:38:48 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* bumped version count to 4.02 (Beta) to avoid confusion

Sat Aug 27 18:29:55 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* introduced global apsfilterrc file /etc/apsfilterrc
	  Therefore changed SETUP again.

	* read apsfilterrc now erlier in apsfilter, not in the case
	  structure or functions ... Perhaps a bit overhead, but
	  shorter and better

	* read global apsfilterrc first, so that there are sane
	  defaults, and then - if present - the users one ...
	  so the user gets his customization but if he has an
	  old template I keep apsfilter happy for the case, it
	  contains needed stuff for runtime.

Sat Aug 27 16:52:17 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* bumped version to 401B (Beta) to avoid confusion when
	  speaking about the new release ... ;-)

Sat Aug 27 15:23:33 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* Better documentation of template/apsfilterrc

	* new compile/install utility setup/compile

	* Enhanced the SETUP script in many ways ...
		- script calls setup/compile
		  to automatically compile and install
		  a2ps and rewindstdin.
		- additional remarks concerning user setup
		  (apsfilterrc) and remote printing...

Sat Aug 27 13:17:23 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.gun.de>

	* My e-mail address changed ! ;-) Please note this ;-)

	* Changed mknew to create smaller uuencoded Beta versions
	  If a apsfilter Release contains the letters {a,A,B,b}
	  ( -> see GLOBAL.sh ) then this smaller archive is created
	  without doc and testfiles.

	* End of SETUP utility tells you now what to do next:
	  compile and install a2ps and rewindstdin.

Wed Aug 24 18:22:18 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.kirsch.de>

	* Some more installation instructions for a2ps and rewindstdin
	  in the README file.

Wed Aug 24 17:56:43 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.kirsch.de>

	* changed apsfilter's fault_filetype function to be smarter
	  and nicer. Better formatted output and tells user now
	  about "unsupported" filetypes ... and that he might solve this
	  by typing lpr -Pascii or lpr -Praw.
	  Since it might be possible that he tried to print ascii files
	  containing control characters or such ... who knows what file(1)
	  reports ...

	* fixed bug in SETUP, it didn't ask properly for BAUDRATE when
	  installing a serial printer. Asked for Device twice, removed
	  one question ;-)

	* bj10e doesn't have 360dpi, changed it to 300dpi, hope that's
	  correct now.

Wed Aug 24 16:28:13 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.kirsch.de>

	* Rolled the version 4.0-Beta

	* Changed global/GLOBAL.sh to version 4.0

	* Merged older changelog files into this one (beginning from 
	  apsfilter 1.3 !!!) 

	* added Q 1.4 "Printing of long ascii listings 
		(C-Source,...) is dog slow..."
	  to FAQ

	* added Q 1.5 "how to manage strange search paths for programs..."
	  to FAQ

	* FAQ Q 1.1, ypu have to run filtersetup, not mksymlinks,
	  to add new filters to the apsfilter program.

	* created a KNOWN_BUGS file - a todo file ...

Wed Aug 24 16:15:32 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.kirsch.de>

	* removed doc/INSTALL since its meaningless ;-)
	  It explains to you how to extract the gnu zipped tar archive
	  aps-XXX.tgz. But to get that file/information you have to extract
	  the archive first ...  you get the clue ?! ;-)

Wed Aug 24 15:22:34 MET DST 1994  Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.kirsch.de>

	* Updated README and WHO_AM_I to reflect the latest changes

	* Changed the name WHO_AM_I to WHAT_AM_I to reflect the
	  purpose of this file better.

	* removed README_QUICK_INSTALL since it didn't contain
	  valuable stuff and README is already smart to the user ;-)

	* Created a file MANIFEST which is a list of all files
	  that belong to apsfilter with a short description for
	  what purpose they are. Removed that stuff from README.

	* Added more information into README, which documents to
	  read next.

	* Changed README to tell the user to install the template
	  file apsfilterrc into his home directory.

	* introduced the file FAQ in apsfilters top level directory.

	* put only apsfilter under RCS revision control
	  starting at apsfilter 4.1

	* stripped apsfilter a bit more, moved changelog and
	  thanks to contributors into this file

Wed Aug 24 15:02:09 MET DST 1994 Andreas Klemm <andreas@knobel.knirsch.de>

	* After Thomas had his `creative time' the version is again
	  owned by me ;-) This means testing and writing docu ;-)
	  Thanks Tom for your valuable work when I had no time
	  to change the things in the filter !

	* Changed Makefiles of src/a2ps-4.2-akl-new and src/rewind-stdin.
	  Introduced the shellscripts install_it. These scripts are looking
	  in /etc/printcap, where apsfilter is really installed, to place
	  the binaries of a2ps and rewindstdin exactly in
	  $APS_BASEDIR/bin, which is on top of the search path in apsfilter.
	  This makes sure, that the enhanced a2ps will be used instead of
	  older ones. Same for other tools needed for apsfilter.

	* The install_it scripts checks and makes sure, that apsfilter
	  has to be installed first before attempting to install
	  a2ps and rewindstdin.

Thu Aug 11 14:23:15 1994  Thomas Bueschgens  (sledge@hammer.oche.de)

	* setup/mksymlinks: create necessary symlinks if color printers
	  are choosen.

	* SETUP: added support for color-printers so the correct entries
	  for /etc/printcap are computed.
	  
	  remove FEATURE from setup, this is user-configurable by now from
	  .apsfilterrc

Wed Aug 10 10:06:53 1994  Thomas Bueschgens  (sledge@hammer.oche.de)

	* bin/apsfilter.tom: added PNMTOPS-variable to control wether
	  color or mono-pics are created.
	  
	  recompute HAVE_PNMTOPS to depend on HAVE_PPMTOPGM if mono is
	  used to ensure correct error-messages if pbm-utils are installed
	  incomplete.

	* setup/filtersetup: added ppmtopgm to the list of
	  needed/supportet filters so color-data may be converted to
	  mono-data.

	* bin/apsfilter.tom: moved A2PS_MARGIN-definition to print_ascii()
	  so it is only defined if necessary.

Tue Aug  9 16:36:59 1994  Thomas Bueschgens  (sledge@hammer.oche.de)

	* bin/apsfilter.tom: changed 'echo $0' to 'basename $0' sp
	  paths with '-' are recognized correctly, too. 

Mon Aug  1 09:09:05 1994  Thomas Bueschgens  (sledge@hammer.oche.de)

	* SETUP: removed the choice wether to modify /etc/magic or not
	  since this caused errors on many systems
	  Corrected some typos

	* template/: changed the README and added a warning that
	  double-entries in /etc/magic may cause malfunctions of apsfilter

	* global/GLOBAL.sh: changed one path to reflect my systems
	  tex-installation

	* doc/: changed the documentation a bit to keep track with the
	  newest changes

	* SETUP: read BAUD if installing a serial-printer, don't write
	  APS_BASEDIR to /etc/printcap if addinga printer

	* template/apsfilterrc: added the HAVE_MAKETEXPK and
	  FEATURE-templates to the example-apsfilterrc

	* bin/apsfilter.tom: clean up documention in apsfilter, changed
	  a2ps-options, added HAVE_MAKETEXPK-flag
	  
	  moved FEATURE-recognition from apsfilters name to users config
	  file .apfilterrc, prepared use of color-property

	  added support for compacted ASCII-files if ascii-filetype was
	  forced

================================================================================
changes 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2
================================================================================

 [ some fixes from Bob Trush <rd@tarpit.oau.org> ], thanks !
 - corrected typo in README, README_QUICK_INSTALL and setup
 - added support for HP Laserjet 4l "ljet4l"
 - support for BSD/386 from BSDI
 - new variable MAGIC defines where the magic(5) file can be found
 - grabs HOME_DIR more precisely using grep "^$LOGINNAME:" ....
 - more precise and effective usage of the shells eval command
   for eval $PRINT_PS ...
 - added/changed PATH in GLOBAL.sh
 - added HAVE_MAKETEXPK to decide wether to create fonts while
   print_dvi or not
 
================================================================================
changes 3.0 -> 3.0.1 (AKL)
================================================================================

 - changed $APS_BASEDIR/bin/GLOBAL.sh to $APS_BASEDIR/global/GLOBAL.sh
 - lowercase the output of the file(1) command to be more portable
   rewritten the queries in the case structure

================================================================================
changes 2.3 -> 3.0 (AKL)
================================================================================

 - removed reverse print order for nec printers
 - added -M option not to call MakeTeXPK to create missing fonts
   when printing with dvips because of a bug in the script that causes
   an exit of apsfilter and not printing anything.
 - ascii->a2ps: added missing -1 option when printing in portrait.
 - HOME_DIR is users homedir. Here we look for ps files that might
   be included when printing dvi files with dvips using the feature,
   to include Postscript pictures produced by xfig or other programs...
 - introduced a .apsfilter config file in each users home directory
   allows the user to add printer specific initialization when printing
   raw ascii text 
	var. PRINT_RAW_SETUP_PRINTER allows to set special init commands
	var. PRINT_RAW_SUPPRESS_FORMFEED suppresses formfeed after print_raw
 - modifications for EPSON STYLUS (gs' printer type esc2 wasn't managed
   by the filter.
 - added support for esc2 printers ;-) I forgot them uiiii ;)
 - removed $ECHO which represented an echo command that can handle
   control characters \xxx since printf is used for that ...
 - introduced user custom print and feature commands in some
   print functions ... print_dvi, print_raw, print_ps ....
   user defineable via $HOME/.apsfilterrc file
 - removed Preserving of TMP_FILE since we don't have any ...
 - added a global setup file bin/apsfilterrc that is created during 
   installation by bin/filtersetup. It contains env. variables that tell
   us, which filter programs are available or not (gs, dvips, a2ps,...)
   If you add a filter, then you have to edit filtersetup and rerun it.
   In apsfilter you should ask then, if a special filter is available
   before trying to call it .... 
 - added sun rasterfile support
 - read PATH from GLOBAL.sh
 - removed all occurrences of TMP_DIR, since not necessary anymore
 - added /usr/openwin/bin to searchpath for Sun's Solaris 1 to
   find ras2ps....
 - added filter support for gif and fig
 - print sunraster using Poskanzer bitmap utilities, if ras2ps isn't there
 - can print compressed files compressed by: compress, gzip, pack, freeze
   one exception, doesn't work on compressed dvi files (dvips -> gs)
 - and certainly some more .... ;-)

# A last minute hack caused file type autorecognition to fail :-(

# A possible solution is to force the script to handle imput data as text or
# something else.
#
# exit 1 on print fault caused lpd to print the file again and again
# and lots of tmp files made TMP_DIR full.. so we have to exit 0 in any case
#
# Introduced MAILX variable. /bin/mail = elm on Linux. Elm didn't find
# ~/Mail directory, so it failed to send $NOTIFY a mail when a print error
# occurred.
#
# David Frey <dfrey@stud.ee.ethz.ch>:

Major changes since apsfilter-1.3:
---------------------------------
o I changed the copyright to the GPL, since in my first public 
  version it was to rigid. My fault .. but now everything is ok !

o Main feature in this version is a total rewrite of the configuration
  section that makes printer specific modifications very simple !
