CHANGES - Common Print Dialog Backends - File Backend - v2.0b5 - 2023-08-02

CHANGES IN V2.0b4 (2nd August 2023)

  • Remove CPDB backend info file The frontend libraries now use only the D-Bus to find available backends. This makes sure that everything works also if the frontend and/or any of the backends are installed via sandboxed packaging (like Snap for example) where the components cannot read each other's file systems.

  • Build system: Removed unnecessary lines in tools/Makefile.am Removed the TESTdir and TEST_SCRIPTS entries in tools/Makefile.am. They are not needed and let make install try to install run-tests.sh in the source directory, where it already is, causing an error.

CHANGES IN V2.0b4 (20th March 2023)

  • Added test script for make test/make check The script rc/run-tests.shstarts this backend and the pdb-text-frontendtext mode example frontend of cpdb-libs in one dbus-run-session environment. The frontend discovers the backend and some test tasks are done with it, like listing options and printing a job.

  • README.md: Updated for renaming of cpdb-libs tools. The test/development frontend print_frontend is renamed to cpdb-text-frontend now.

  • Fixed buffer overflow caused in log line in the backend

CHANGES IN V2.0b3 (20th February 2023)

  • Option group support

  • Log messages handled by frontend

  • Removed hardcoded paths (PR #3)
