Gimp-Print 4.3.19 (development)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=300227

Can we help you?X

    Gimp-Print 4.3.19, released August 8, 2003, is a development release of     this package. Like all development releases, this version is considered     unstable and should only be used by those individuals tolerant of the     likelihood of problems. Individuals desiring a stable release of     Gimp-Print should use the latest 4.2 release. Gimp-Print is a suite of     printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling     systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide     high quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and     newer) and Linux systems in many cases equal to or better than     proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and can be used for many of the     most demanding printing tasks. This software includes the Print plug-in     for the Gimp, and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic     data. The Print plugin for the Gimp requires the Gimp 1.2 (later     versions of the Gimp are not supported). You may need to install a     package named "gimp-devel" or the like on many distributions. The CUPS     driver requires CUPS 1.1.15 or higher. You may need to install a     package named "cups-devel" or the like on many distributions. The     Foomatic data will work with either Foomatic 2.x or 3.x. Foomatic 3.x     has additional capabilities that this package detects and takes     advantage of. The IJS-based GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU     Ghostscript 6.53 or later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL     GhostScript 7.04 or later. Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can     use this package, as the printing system is based on CUPS, which is     supported by Gimp-print. Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1     (including 10.1.5) cannot use this package. Please read the README file     for full instructions on installing this package. Gimp-Print 4.3.19     contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.3.18: 1) An     ImageType setting has been added, with several settings for common     types of image (text, graphics, photograph, mixed). This setting     controls a bundle of other options, considerably simplifying the     available choices. The Manual Control setting enables setting the     individual options. 2) The ImageOptimization setting has been renamed     ColorCorrection. The main effect of this is that settings for the     ImageOptimization control in the GIMP plugin will not be carried     forward from 4.3.18; they will need to be changed back. 3) The Cyan,     Magenta, Yellow, and Black controls have been renamed CyanGamma,     MagentaGamma, YellowGamma, and BlackGamma to avoid technically illegal     constructs in the PPD files. 4) Preliminary support for the Epson     Stylus Photo 935, C43SX, C43UX, C44SX, and C44UX. 5) The     cups-genppdupdate script and PPD files are fixed such that     cups-genppdupdate will work in future releases. The script relies upon     new information in the PPD files, so the script will not correctly     update PPD files from 4.3.18. However, going forward the script will     operate correctly. In addition, the cups-genppdupdate script no longer     requires the non-standard Compress:Zlib perl module. 6) Color quality     has been improved substantially for Epson printers. 7) The CUPS driver     (rastertoprinter) now prefixes all messages with "Gimp-Print: " to     simplify recognition of messages in the CUPS error log. 8) The Quality     setting now controls additional options in the core (dithering and     color correction). 9) The escputil utility has been changed to use the     core package for its printer information database, so all Epson     printers recognized by the core package will now be recognized by     escputil. In addition, the -d option now prints out only the printer     model name rather than the entire status line, and adds an option to     print out only the short name. Finally, certain cases where escputil     did not wait correctly for output from the printer have been fixed. 10)     The XML code has been updated to mxml 1.1.2. 11) A bug in the curve     code whereby rescaling wraparound curves increases the number of points     has been fixed. 12) Constraints have been added to the PPD files such     that using grayscale or black and white mode, or using the Quality or     Image Type settings, will disable certain options. 13) Support and     tuning for Epson Watercolor - Radiant White paper has been added for     printers using Ultrachrome ink (matte black). In addition, Premium     Luster and Premium Semigloss papers have been tuned on most printers.

PasswordSafe 1.9.2c released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=300400

    Password Safe is a password database utility. Users can keep their     passwords securely encrypted on their computers. A single Safe     Combination unlocks them all. Release 1.92c is available for download.     This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor annoyances: Bugfix
[783314] Clearing the clipboard now properly trashes the password in
    process memory, as well as emptying the clipboard. Bugfix [760656]     Passing a filename that contains spaces via the command line now works     correctly. Previously, the quotation marks confused PasswordSafe.     Bugfix [777367] The Edit/View Item dialog box's Help button now works     correctly. RFE [772212] Pressing Cancel when prompted for the password     when unminimizing the application no longer exits the program. (Would     happen only if "Lock password database on minimize" is set) Bugfix
[769820] Pressing Cancel in the Clear Clipboard dialog box will now
    prevent the passowrd from being copied to the clipboard. Previously, it     was equivalent to pressing OK. (Would happen only if "Confirm item copy     to clipboard" was selected) RFE [768870] Added a manifest file for     native Windows XP theme support. RFE [754790] The option "Clear the     clipboard when minimized" has been changed to "Clear clipboard upon     minimize or exit". Previously, the clipboard was unconditionally     cleared upon exit. This allows the user to change the behaviour. The     PocketPC release incorporates the fixes of the Windows release. In     addition, the endianness of devices built around the SH3 CPU is now     correct. Thanks to Gregg and Karlo for their work fixing the bugs, and     to Kevin for building the PocketPC versions.

GPL in Court - Good or Bad?

    Irvu asks: "[0]The Register has a lengthy opinion piece today about     IBM's lawsuit, and the GPL. Barring a settlement this case will see the     first test of the GPL in a court of law. Previously the GPL has     functioned as a social contract with the implicit (albeit untested)     force of law behind it. Any ruling now could radically alter the     free-software/open-source landscape for good or ill. Andrew Orlowski     dwells on these possible ills in his piece.
