ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.5-pre1

Gimp-Print 4.2.5-pre1 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.2.4:

1) The Epson Stylus Photo 950/960/PM-950C and 2100/2200 are now tuned. The 950 and 960 are fully tuned, while the 2100 and 2200 are fully tuned with Photographic Black ink. Matte Black ink on the 2100/2200, and dark yellow ink on the PM-950C, are not tuned at this point.

As a special note, all of these printers print especially fast at 360 DPI in Four Color Standard mode (in color, grayscale, and monochrome). For this reason, we recommend use of Four Color Standard for printing text and low-resolution graphics on plain paper with these printers.

2) Epson Stylus Photo printers with an automatic paper cutter option (the Stylus Photo 925, 950/960/PM-950C, and 2100/2200) now enable the cutter. This has received some testing, but has not been tested comprehensively.

3) The Epson Stylus Pro 5000 should now print correctly, although this is not yet tested.

4) The Epson Stylus Color 640 now prints properly in grayscale and monochrome at 720 DPI and above.

5) DESTDIR now works with 'make install' in the Gimp plugin directory (this is generally of interest only to packagers).

6) The user manual should now install correctly on all platforms.

7) The version of libtool used to build this release has been changed to 1.4.3. This enables the packaged source to compile correctly on a few architectures (this is generally of interest only to packagers).

8) Updates to the Debian packaging (this is of interest only to Debian packagers).

The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.5-pre1:
