a2ps converts ASCII text into PostScript. This feature is used by apsfilter, for example, to pretty-print ASCII text. Warning: a2ps is not able to convert complex Unicode (UTF-8) text to PostScript. Only language text which can be converted from UTF-8 to Latin encodings are supported.

* Tue Feb 20 2024 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Use %patch -P N instead of deprecated %patchN.
* Mon Sep 18 2023 jun wang <junguo.wang@suse.com>
- Updated to 4.15.5
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.15.5 (2023-06-22) [stable]
* Bug fixes:
- Fix psnup delegation. It was incorrectly changed in 4.14.90.
- Fix to read configured paper size correctly with libpaper 1.x.
- Fix fixps to use GhostScript’s ps2write device instead of defunct
pswrite.
- Fix old crash when using --stdin="".
- Use “grep -F” rather than obsolete fgrep.
- Fix broken a2ps-lpr-wrapper script, and translate to sh for
portability.
* Build:
- Fix a problem building PDF version of manual.
- Make configure stop if libpaper is not found.
- Enable building the manual for gnu.org.
* Build system:
- Fix tests when building with libpaper 1.x.
- Require gperf for bootstrapping, and use it correctly in build system.
- Require a new-enough version of texinfo.

* Fri Mar 17 2023 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
- Updated to 4.15
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.15 (2023-03-07) [stable]
* Features:
- Replace the 'psmandup' utility with simpler 'lp2' to directly print
documents to a simplex printer.
- Remove the outdated 'psset' and 'fixnt', and simplify 'fixps' to
always process its input with Ghostscript.
- Use libpaper's paper sizes. This includes user-defined paper sizes
when using libpaper 2. It is still possible to define custom margins
using "Medium:" specifications in the configuration file, and the
one size defined by a2ps that libpaper does not know about, Quarto, is
retained for backwards compatiblity, and as an example.
* Documentation
- Remove some obsolete explanations.
- Reformat --help output consistently to 80 columns.
- Some English fixes.
* Bug fixes:
- Avoid a crash when a medium is not specified; instead, use the default
libpaper size (configured by the user or sysadmin, or the locale
default).
- Fix some other potential crashes and compiler warnings.
- Fixes for security bugs CVE-2001-1593, CVE-2015-8107 and CVE-2014-0466.
- Minor bugs fixed.
* Predefined delegations:
- Remove support for defunct Netscape and proprietary Acrobat Reader.
- Add lpr wrapper for automatic detection of different printing systems,
including CUPS support.
* Encodings:
- Use libre fonts for KOI-8.
- Composite fonts support.
* Build
- Update build system to more recent autotools and gettext versions.
- Build man pages in a simpler and more robust way.
- Document runtime dependencies.
- Minor code quality improvements.
- Minor tidy up and removal of obsolete code.
- Require libpaper.
- Remove OS/2 support.
* Build
- Build man pages in a simpler and more robust way, using x-to-1 from
gnulib.
- Don't install useless liba2ps.h.

autoconf and gettext.
- Don't require help2man or gperf to build from source.
- Document runtime dependencies.
