09.10.2002 - Deleted temporary copies of the PPD files after use
(Thanks to Carl Schaefer, schaefer@alumni.stanford.org,
for the patch).
28.05.2002 - Removed default values from functions "setLoginInfo()" and
"setHostInfo" in cupshelper.*, such default values are not
supported with gcc 3.1.
08.01.2002 - Version 1.1
- Removed function overloading for the password dialog, used the
new method of CUPS 1.1.3
- Added support for the "natural-scaling" image size option
introduced in CUPS 1.1.9

linuxprinting.org (numerical options appeared twice before).
The old CUPS-O-Matic files can still be used.
04.03.2001 - The COMDATA lines in the PPD files of the new XML Foomatic
changed in a way incompatible to the parser for the numerical
options in XPP. Modified parser to read both the old and the
new format.
28.01.2001 - Version 1.0
- Let jobs from standard input get the name "STDIN" instead of
"(stdin)", because the parantheses caused problems with Samba
or Windows servers.
- Let the first printer be selected when CUPS does not report a
default printer
- Banner page support
- Raw output support
- Renamed "Cancel" button of main window to "Close"
- Added comment in "Instances" to tell the user that he has to
copy an existing instance of the desired printer when he wants
to add an instance.
27.01.2001 - Support for adding, copying, renaming, and deleting printer
instances.
18.01.2001 - Rearranged option widgets for media settings on the "Basic" tab
of the "Options" dialog: Now there is a seperate widget for the
media type and widgets for options which are not supported
according to the PPD file are grayed out.
- Fixed bug of the duplex widget on the "Basic" tab of the
"Options" dialog: The widget was sometimes linked to the
"Duplexer installed?" option.
17.01.2001 - All sliders for numerical options (both CUPS and CUPS-O-MATIC)
have fields for typing the values now.
30.09.2000 - Version 0.7
24.09.2000 - Integer and floating point options of CUPS-O-MATIC PPD files are
supported now.
23.09.2000 - Let "Authentication ..." line in login/password dialog also be
displayed with CUPS 1.1.3.
07.09.2000 - Made main window resizable.
23.08.2000 - Deactivated positioning of the printer list scroll to make default
printer entry visible. "position" method of Fl_Scroll widget of
FLTK does not work when Y position is higher than a certain value.
- Optical enhancements of the printer list.
20.08.2000 - Version 0.6
- Made support for password-protected printers working
- Added information to the printer list
- Fixed a bug with instances in the printer list
- Printing with or saving conflicting options not possible any more
16.08.2000 - Version 0.5
15.08.2000 - Orientations "Reverse Landscape" and "Reverse Portrait" are
supported now.
- Window does not close any more when printing leads to an error.
One can correct the settings and click the "Print" button again.
- Implemented HP-GL/2 option support
- Implemented support for adjusting the margins when printing text
files
13.08.2000 - Coupling between the widgets "Paper source", "Media size", "Duplex
Printing" on the "Basic" tab and the appropriate PPD options
- Instance names and types of destinations without PPD files are
shown in the printer list.
09.08.2000 - Version 0.4
- Improved check for FLTK in configuration script again because of
problems under Mandrake 7.1 with GL
- Added some hints in the README file
26.07.2000 - Improved check for FLTK in configuration script because of a
compatibility problem with SuSE 6.4
23.07.2000 - Version 0.3
17.07.2000 - Inserted button to choose the image position on the "Advanced" tab
of the "Options" dialog (new feature of CUPS 1.1 (final),
"lpr -o position=top-left <file>").
- Redesigned the sliders on the "Advanced" tab of the "Options"
dialog.
- When there is no printer available, the program aborts with an
error message now.
14.07.2000 - Graphical dialog for password prompt, now password-protected
printers are supported by XPP (not many tests done yet).
09.07.2000 - Usage of GNU Autoconf/Automake
08.07.2000 - Fixed segfault which occurs when one adjusts the 'Scaling' value
(Image Printing) by two step without adjusting another option
before.
- Fixed bug of red display of the tabs where there are a conflicting
option: Formerly, if the options of one PPD option group needed
more space than the window has and therefore there appeared two
tabs for that group, always the first tab got red, even if the
conflicting option is on the second one. This made it somewhat
more difficult to find conflicting options.
- Added setting 'Default' to the types how the image size is
described. The former default setting 'Scaling: 100' was not the
default when one printed with neither '-o scaling=...' nor '-o
ppi=...'. Now 'Default' gives none of the two options and the
other two give the appropriate option with the adjusted value
(Image Printing).
- Redesigned the 'Printer Independent' page of the options dialog
to have two pages: 'Basic' to choose the printing media and which
pages to print, and 'Advanced' to do image, text, and appearance
settings. Now there is more space for the widgets so that one
finds the right ones more easily, the layout is clearer and the
sliders for image adjustment are bigger, so that one can set them
much more precisely.
26.06.2000 - Version 0.2
- Added printer specific options derived from PPD file to the option
dialog of XPP
- If XPP is started without a file name on the command line the
input line is left blank, so that when the user chooses the file
by the 'Browse' button he has not to delete the '<stdin>' entry.
Standard input is also printed when the 'Print' button is clicked
with an empty input line.
- Stripping of the final executable in the Makefile introduced
20.06.2000 - Version 0.1
- Initial release of XPP
