debian/patches/samsung-ml-2570-recommend-hpijs-pcl5e.patch: Assigned also
PCL-5e drivers to the Samsung ML-2570 and recommended the PCL-5e driver
"hpijs-pcl5e" as (at least some copies of) the printer has problems with
the PostScript and PCL-XL drivers (LP: #855412).

debian/patches/canon-bj-330-dot-matrix-page-sizes.patch: Use the special
PageSize option for dot-matrix printers for the Canon BJ-330, as it has a
paper handling like a dot-matrix printer (LP: #854983).

* New upstream release
   - The Lexmark E120n does not work in PostScript mode when using
     generic PostScript PPD files. Updated comment and removed support
     by "Postscript" driver. Rated down to "Mostly" (LP: #802285).
   - Removed "Halftoning Algorithm" option, it does not work any more
     with current Ghostscript (LP: #659398).
   - Updated entry for the Lexmark E230: Added Device ID, support by
     PCL-5e drivers (LP: #821818).
   - Added the Brother HL-2070N (LP: #778620).

* debian/rules: Make sure that NUMJOBS is always defined. Otherwise the
  command line of foomatic-compiledb gets messed up. Also use more standard
  directory names for the collection of pre-built PPDs.
* debian/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.ppd-updater,
  debian/openprinting-ppds.ppd-updater: Content of the two files was the
  wrong way around. Corrected.

debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db-xml.install,
debian/foomatic-db.install, debian/foomatic-db-xml.postinst,
debian/foomatic-db.postinst: Renamed the foomatic-db-xml binary package
(Foomatic XML database) back to foomatic-db-xml, providing foomatic-db-xml
as virtual package. The renaming of a binary package is not accepted
by Debian. Driver packages which need the XMLs for building have to
Build-Depend on foomatic-db and Build-Conflict with
foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.

* debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db.install,
  debian/foomatic-db-xml.install, debian/foomatic-db.postinst,
  debian/foomatic-db-xml.postinst: Renamed the foomatic-db binary package
  (Foomatic XML database) to foomatic-db-xml, providing foomatic-db as
  virtual package. This way the buildds can explicitly install the XML
  database if it is requested by Build-Depends: in the package to be built.
* debian/rules: Moved apport hook into the foomatic-db-compressed-ppds
  package as this package is usually installed.

* New upstream release
   - Added 8 new Epson inkjet printers, 6 new Lexmark printers, and
     5 new printers from Ricoh and OEM, entries and PPD files
     supplied by the printer's manufacturers.
   - Added the Epson LX-300+ and the Dell 3000cn based on user reports
     (LP: #776326).
   - Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the Ghostscript command lines, as this makes
     Ghostscript significantly faster (LP: #668800, Ghostscript bug #691755).
   - Renamed the choice names of the manufacturer-independent "InputSlot"
     options to not use tray numbers any more as the tray numbering varies
     with the manufacturer (Closes: #530600).
   - Fixes in the XML schema files which describe the format of the Foomatic
     XML files.
   - Install the XNL schema files, to be used by the new foomatic-verify-xml
     utility in foomatic-db-engine.
   - Several fixes in the Foomatic XML files, many discovered during the
     development work on foomatic-db-engine in the Google Summer of Code.
* debian/foomatic-db.install: Include XML schema files in the foomatic-db
  package.

* New upstream release
   - Added custom page size to the most-used PageSize option entries, so
     that most Foomatic-generated PPD files get the possibility to select
     a custom page size. We do this as we do not know the complete sets of
     possible page sizes for most printers and probably many actually allow
     custom page sizes by hardware (LP: #726397).

70. By Till Kamppeter on 2011-02-18

* New upstream release
   - Added support for new printers from Lexmark and Epson.
   - Corrected some Epson printer entries.
   - Corrected all PPD files from Ricoh and OEM: Renamed 11x17 to Tabloid
     and HalfLetter to Statement, adapted naming scheme of installable
     options to CUPS, hardware collate for PCL-XL mode.
   - Corrected graphics and photo quality rating in the PCL-XL driver
     entries for Ricoh and OEM printers.
   - Added/corrected lots of device IDs for HP printers.
   - Removed unneeded executable bits from PPD files (Upstream bug #606).
   - General clean-up of the build system (Upstream bugs #609, #610, #611).
   - Fixed typos in README file (Upstream bug #608).

debian/control: Versioned conflict of openprinting-ppds-extra with
openprinting-ppds. Otherwise openprinting-ppds-extra is not installable.
