Description:
gtklp - Frontend for CUPS written in GTK2
Closes: 153779 170025 170642 174518 177478 218608 226839 249494
Changes:
gtklp (0.9s-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream version, merged patches in 0.9p-1 to upstream source:
- "Look" check boxes now work properly (Closes: #153779)
- (Some) typos in the man page have been corrected (Closes: #170642)
- Spanish translation of "even" and "odd" are now correct (Closes:
#226839)
* GTK2 is now the default, fixed debian/control and description
* Fixed debian/rules to deal with leftover .gmo's
* Fixed debian/copyright, but source should also be changed to conform with
GPL licensing rules (i.e., putting the license declaration _inside_ the
source, it's not enough to just include the COPYING file ;)
* Rebuilt gtklp against libcupsys2-gnutls10 (Closes: #249494)
* Upstream says the following bugs have been fixed since 0.9p:
- Printer instances ought to be supported (Closes: #218608)
- Now doesn't dump core when no printers are available (Closes: #170025)
- Should now save page option on being told to do so (Closes: #174518)
- Printing on localhost should now recognize printer settings (Closes:
#177478)
