* debian/patches/usb-backend-no-crash-on-libusb-failure.patch: Upstream
  patch to fix the gutenprint52+usb CUPS backend crashing on failure
  of USB access via libusb (LP: #1297326).
* debian/rules, debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.lintian-overrides: Set
  gutenprint52+usb CUPS backend to 700 permissions so that CUPS runs it as
  root (LP: #1297326).
* debian/rules: Touch the *.ppd-updater files in override_dh_fixperms, as
  in override_dh_install-arch the change does not stay.

* New upstream release
   o Minor bug fixes.
* debian/patches/fix-big-endian.patch: Removed, fixed upstream.

64. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2014-02-19

Fix FTBFS on big-endian machine, unmatched parenthesis and missing
semicolon.

63. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-02-19

* New upstream release
   o Added a unified CUPS backend to support selected dye sublimation
     printers.
   o Added support for many new Epson and Canon inkjets and for many dye
     sublimation printers. Support for new Canon inkjets mostly experimental.
   o Improved support for many already supported dye sublimation printers.
   o Corrected page dimensions for borderless printing with Canon
     printers.
   o Added duplex support for the EPSON WorkForce 645.
   o Expanded printable area at the bottom of the page for the Epson
     Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880.
   o Added IEEE1284 device IDs for many Epson and Canon inkjets
     (LP: #1248303), monochrome laser printers of all manufacturers, and dye
     sublimation printers of all manufacturers.
   o Added Catalan, Turkish, and Vietnamese translations.
* debian/patches/added-device-ids.patch: Removed, included upstream.
* debian/patches/ppc64el.diff: Refreshed with quilt.
* debian/control: Build-depend on libusb-1.0-0-dev for the new CUPS backend
  for dye sublimation printers on USB.
* debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.install.in: Install new USB printer
  blacklist file for the CUPS USB backend (for dye sublimation printers using
  Gutenprint's own backend).
* debian/rules: Copy USB printer blacklist file into debian/build/ tree so
  that "make install" finds it.

62. By Matthias Klose on 2014-01-14

Patch libtool.m4 and configure to support ppc64el.

debian/patches/added-device-ids.patch: Added the device IDs for some Canon
printers from the upstream repository, to more reliably auto-assign the
Gutenprint drivers to these printers (LP: #1248303).

60. By Till Kamppeter on 2013-08-13

* debian/control: printer-driver-gutenprint: Replaced dependency on
  ghostscript-cups by "cups-filters (>= 1.0.36) | ghostscript-cups" as
  Ghostscript's CUPS filters moved to cups-filters from cups-filters
  1.0.36/Ghostscript 9.08 on.
* debian/rules: Do not depend on CUPS version number to build with CUPS
  1.2 enhancements and without CUPS PPD files. This allows also building
  with CUPS versions like 1.7rc1.

* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
  - debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.ppd-updater,
    debian/foomatic-db-gutenprint.ppd-updater,
    debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.postinst,
    debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.install.in,
    debian/foomatic-db-gutenprint.install.in,
    debian/rules:
    Use the PPD updater script of the cups package to update the PPD files
    (in /etc/cups/ppd/) of all already existing print queues using this
    driver when updating this package. In contrary to Gutenprint's own
    cups-genppdupdate the script of the cups package can also migrate PPD
    files. In our case we migrate Foomatic/IJS PPD files to the equivalent
    PPDs using the CUPS Raster driver of Gutenprint and we replace simplified
    PPD files by the corresponding standard PPDs, as we discontinue the
    simplified PPDs in Ubuntu to reduce the delta to Debian and to make
    printer model/driver listings in printer setup tools less cluttered.
    printer-driver-gutenprint.postinst is not needed any more and therefore
    removed.
  - debian/control: Removed dependency on perl, all what is needed from Perl
    is in perl-base.
  - debian/ubuntu/apport-hook.py, debian/rules: Install Apport hook if the
    package is built under Ubuntu (decides via "dpkg-vendor").
  - debian/control: Added transitional package ijsgutenprint-ppds. The
    Ubuntu-only package with this name got dropped in favor of migrating
    users of the IJS flavor of Gutenprint to the CUPS Raster flavor.

* New upstream release
   - Added support for Canon PIXMA DS700, DS810, 50i, 80i, 450i, 455i, 470PD,
     475PD, 550i, 560i, 850i, 860i, 865R, 900PD, 950i, 960i, 990i, 6100i,
     6500i, 9100i, 9900i, i450X, i455X, i475D, i550X, i560X, i905D, i965,
     i990, i9950, iP90, iP90v, iP100, iP6320D, MP260, MX320, MX370, MX430,
     MX510, MX710, MX890, E500, E600, PIXUS iP2700, iP3100, iP4100,
     EPSON Stylus NX420, SX420, TX420
   - CD printing on many Canon printers.
   - Non-working Canon's removed.
   - More Japanese models supported.
   - Printer modes for most printer models are now determined by the
     media, based on information from the corresponding Windows
     driver. If an incompatible mode is selected by the user, a
     suitable mode is substituted, based on the other active
     parameters and quality setting. Modes are also substituted
     based on cartridge selection and duplex selection. Inktype is
     then automatically adjusted.
   - Added support for 8-bit inks to Canon backend, and modes using
     them.
   - Adjusted margins and page sizes of Canon printers.
   - Added borderless functionality to most Canon printers.
   - A problem whereby printing did not work at all on some Linux
     distributions has been fixed.
   - Printing on the Epson Stylus NX200, SX200, and SX205 is believed
     to be corrected.
* debian/patches/0002-genppd-don-t-write-color-profile-information-with-br.patch,
  debian/patches/0003-upgrade-getopt.patch,
  debian/patches/0004-no-data-dumper-needed.patch,
  debian/patches/0005-use-dnointerpolate-in-ghostscript-command-lines.patch:
  Removed, change applied upstream.
* debian/rules: Touch ppd-updater file(s) so that they have the time stamp
  of the build of this package The time stamp of the ppd-updater files tells
  CUPS' trigger script whether they come from different package versions or
  not (LP: #932882).

* debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.postinst: Use old method to update the
  PPDs of existing print queues on the transition from Gutenprint 5.2.7 to
  5.2.8 (LP: #932882, LP: #960496).
* debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.ppd-updater: Improvement of NickName
  matching rules.
