=============================================================================
pkpgcounter News :
* 3.50 :
- Added support for Canon BJ/BJC documents in page counting mode.
- Added support for Structured Fax documents in page counting mode.
- Added support for ASCII PNM (Netpbm) documents in page counting mode.
- Fixed a problem with the parsing of SPL1 (GDI) documents : all such
documents should now be correctly parsed.
- Improved the PCL3/4/5 parser.
* 3.40 :
- Fixed a major bug in the detection of OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300)
files.
- Added support for page counting in Microsoft Word (c) (tm) (r) (etc...)
documents.
- Added support for ink accounting in Microsoft Word (c) (tm) (r) (etc...)
and OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300) documents.
- Now automatically detects missing executable dependencies at runtime.
* 3.30 :
- Added support for all file formats supported by the Python Imaging
Library.
- Added a minimal parser for Hewlett-Packard LIDIL documents, as
produced by the hpijs driver.
- Improved general reliability.
- Improved detection of PCL3/4/5 jobs.
- Major code cleaning.
* 3.20 :
- Added a minimal parser for Brother HBP documents.
- Added support for Canon ImageRunner commands to the PCLXL parser,
much like it was already done for the PCL3/4/5 parser.
* 3.10 :
- Added a minimal parser for ESC/PAGES03 style documents.
- Fixed another problem in the code handling the output of Canon's
ImageRunner printer drivers.
* 3.00 :
- Fixed a problem in the code handling the output of Canon's ImageRunner
printer drivers.
- Licensing terms changed to GNU GPL v3.0 or higher.
* 2.18 :
- Fixed an incompatibility with Python v2.5
* 2.17 :
- Fixed problems in the handling of PJL number of copies (COPIES= and QTY=)
which caused the number of copies for each page to be squared.
* 2.16 :
- Fixed a problem in the PCL3/4/5 parser to accomodate line based
report generators which expect the printer to skip to next page
based on lines per page instead of sending a specific command.
* 2.15 :
- Fixed a regexp in the PDF parser which caused some files to be
incorrectly accounted for.
- Improved the detection of the number of copies in PostScript documents.
* 2.14 :
- Fixed a problem with some PS drivers which don't output %%Page:
comments.
* 2.13 :
- Nowrecognizes the GC colorspace if you only want to differentiate
grayscale pages from coloured pages. In this colorspace, the
percents are always "G : 100.0 C : 0.0" or "G : 0.0 C : 100.0"
respectively for a grayscale page and a coloured page.
* 2.12 :
- Fixed a problem with the PostScript parser.
* 2.11 :
- Improved overall robustness in ink accounting mode.
* 2.10 :
- Added a plain text parser, with support for both page counting and
ink coverage.
- Added a minimal SPL1 parser.
- Fixed a problem in the PCLXL parser related to Kyocera printer drivers.
* 2.00 :
- The PCL3/4/5 parser was rewritten from scratch and is now
table driven.
- Improved the PostScript parser.
* 1.85 :
- Added support for Samsung QPDL (aka SPL2) file format in page
counting mode, thanks to the work done by Aurlien Croc on
reverse engineering the file format.
* 1.85alpha :
- Added test document and program to generate the test document
to check the functionning of the ink coverage computation algorithm.
* 1.84 :
- Computation of ink coverage now works and is documented.
The supported file formats are : PS, PDF, PCLXL, PCL3/4/5,
DVI and TIFF.
* 1.84alpha :
- Added initial support for the computation of ink coverage.
See python analyzer.py --help for details. The same command
line options work for pkpgcounter, although it's not
documented yet.
* 1.83 :
- Fixed a famously known 'brown paper bag' issue with file type autodetection.
* 1.82 :
- Fixed PCL3/4/5 parser to detect recent Xerox drivers' output.
* 1.81 :
- Improved the gs+Acrobat Reader fix done in 1.78.
* 1.80 :
- Added support for Zenographics ZjStream input format.
* 1.79 :
- Fixed a small problem in PostScript parser with dvips output.
* 1.78 :
- Launches gs less often when printing is done from Acrobat
Reader.
* 1.77 :
- Fixed some problems with the code introduced in 1.76.
- Improved PCLXL parser's speed by almost 10%.
* 1.76 :
- Improved the PCLXL parser wrt undocumented tags.
- Preliminary support for Kyocera Prescribe commands.
* 1.75 :
- Added preliminary support for Canon ImageRunner's "LIPS" or "UFR"
(I don't know which) Page Description Language.
* 1.74 :
- Fixed a problem in the retrieval of named media sizes in PCLXL.
- Changed copyright years.
* 1.73 :
- Fixed duplex detection code in PCL3/4/5 parser.

- Fixed retrieval of custom media types' names in PCLXL.
- Added inactive code to compute ink coverage ala PrintBill.
* 1.72 :
- Improved heuristic to detect when ghostscript has to be used to do
the parsing.
* 1.71 :
- Now uses ghostscript as the parser when the PS stream was created by a
particular MSWindows driver.
- Only complains about Psyco missing at install time, and stays
quiet when running without Psyco.
* 1.70 :
- Fixed some PJL escaping issue in the PCLXL and PCL3/4/5 parsers.
* 1.69 :
- Improved PCL3/4/5 parser.
- Improved PCLXL parser wrt PJL stuff.
* 1.68 :
- Improved PostScript parser.
