<news date="20 Feb 2006" title="Apsfilter update to 7.2.8">
<newsp>
Apsfilter feature release. See ChangeLog.
Enables Apsfilter to play audio files.
So the lineprinter scheduler becomes the job of a music jukebox.
<p>List of supported audio file types: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Wave.
<p>FreeBSD port will be updated soon.
<p>Playing music on a central sound server feeded by several print clients in the network is untested but should be possible. Would be nice to get some feedback on this. 
<p>Hint: the audio processing must take place where the soundcard resides. So the remote print job sends the file "as is" to the remote print queue, where finally tools like mpg321 do their job.

<news date="26th November 2002" title="Loosing print jobs with LPRng 3.8.15">
<newsp>
If you use LPRng as line printer scheduler - most Linux distributions
do - please note, that LPRng 3.8.15 is known to cause loss of print jobs !!
<p>It could be the case that also other newer LPRng releases have that bug.
<p>Some people report, that a downgrade to 3.8.10 and 3.8.12 fixed the
problem.
<p>A workaround for 3.8.15 seems to be, configuring "done_jobs=0" in
/etc/lprng/lpd.conf (on Debian, other systems use other paths).
<p>I can't give a recommendation whats better, to downgrade or to
use the workaround or perhaps even both.
<p>Check this Debian bugreport that describes bug, workaround
and what downgrade has been successful for some people:

<news date="11th January 2002" title="Important HP driver (HPIJS 1.0) porting notes">
<newsp>
According to HP the HPIJS 1.0 driver core dumps when being compiled with
gcc's optimizations options -O or higher. Removing any optimization flags
from CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS (see configure.in) before running configure
in the hpijs-1.0 subdir (and compilation) cures the problem.
<br>This has been tested on FreeBSD 4.5-RC. Both FreeBSD <i>ghostscript</i>
ports (-gnu, -afpl) have been fixed last recently. You should update
your ports collection and reinstall the <i>gs</i> port if you intend to
use the original HP driver, that offers excellent printing quality for
some of HPs most popular printer.

This is my last apsfilter release before holidays ;-)
<br>It includes some bug fixes, manpage cleanups and <b>two new cool
features</b>. As usual, see the ANNOUNCE and ChangeLog files for details.
<br>In short: we introduced a new <i>apspreview</i> script, that allows
you to preview your print session using <i>gv</i>, <i>kghostview</i> or
<i>ghostview</i>. If the result fits your needs you can directly print
from within these PS viewers using a printer of your choice.
Of course with lpr commands using apsfilters features via -C/-Z options.
<br>The 2nd goody is an <i>apsfilter-bug</i> script that assists you in
releasing bug reports, which are mailed automatically to the proper
mailinglist.
<br>Bugfixes I want to mention are a new ljet4 driver, unbreaking of
hardware duplex printing for all true Postscript printer, fix for
a2ps <b>not</b> to use the <i>delegation</i> feature, so its now
possible to print Latex sources using <i>lpr -C ascii</i> option.

<news date="11th August 2000" title="Moved 64Bits pages to www.apsfilter.org">
<newsp>
  The apsfilter slogan "apsfilter rocks" had the positive side effect
  of moving the 64Bits webpages to www.apsfilter.org, which looks a lot
  better than my personal homepage. Feel free to visit our bands webpages
  to download some or all of our 4 titles in mpg3 format.

<news date="11th August 2000" title="Fixed FreeBSD port today">
<newsp>
  I manually created the diffs for apsfilter 5.4.2 for the FreeBSD
  ports collection and updated the FreeBSD port.
  For all other operating systems you can get the latest patch
  for apsfilter 5.4.2 from here, until I have time to fix the make-release
  script:
  <a href="$(ROOT)/download/patch-5.4.2-RELENG_5-20000811.gz">patch-5.4.2-RELENG_5-20000811.gz</a>.

<news date="10th August 2000" title="Broken apsfilter diffs">
<newsp>
  The apsfilter diffs generated on www.apsfilter.org were all
  broken. Fixing and testing the make-release script will last
  some days. During that time apsfilter diffs for 5.4.2
  will not be available.
<br>
  Workaround is to checkout an apsfilter-STABLE release (RELENG_5)
  using anonymous cvs.
<br>
  Sorry folks for any inconveniances involved with this...
