December 11, 2020
1 minute read
The first stable release of PAPPL is now available for download. PAPPL is a simple C-based framework/library for developing CUPS Printer Applications, which are the recommended replacement for printer drivers.
Changes in 1.0.0 include:
papplSystemLoadStatewould not load printers whose device IDs contained the#character (Issue #92)- Passing "auto" for the driver name would cause a crash if there was no auto- add callback.
- Added
papplPrinterGetPathAPI to get the path for a printer web page (Issue #97) - The
papplPrinterAddLinkandpapplSystemAddLinkfunctions now accept an "options" argument instead of the "secure" boolean in order to allow links to be added to multiple places on the web interface in addition to requesting a secure (HTTPS) link (Issue #98)
Enjoy!
