ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.2-rc1

Gimp-Print 4.2.2-rc1, released August 13, 2002, is the first release candidate for Gimp-Print 4.2.2.

This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data.

The Gimp Print plugin requires the Gimp 1.2.

The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.9 or higher. 1.1.14 or above is highly recommended, as certain translation-related bugs are fixed and it is possible to print true CMYK.

The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 5.10, 5.50, 6.51, or any later GNU Ghostscript release based on 6.51 (e. g. 6.52).

The IJS GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or later or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or later.

Please read the README file for full instructions on building and installing this package.

Gimp-Print 4.2.2-rc1 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.2.2-pre4:

1) The IJS Ghostscript driver works properly in all locales. Previously it did not work correctly in locales with different numerical conventions than the "C" locale, due to problems parsing certain numeric options.

2) The Gimp Print plugin now installs correctly on all supported systems.

3) A crash problem with the Lexmark driver is fixed.

4) Further improvements for the Epson Stylus Photo 950.

5) Updated Swedish translation.

The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.2-rc1:

586960 Gimp Print plugin installs incorrectly on some systems 592093 IJS driver sets page size incorrectly in some non-US locales 594637 Lexmark Z52 driver crash
