and earlier.
2005-09-06: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. 5700L error interpretation improvements
. commented on multiple copies limited to 255

checking in new postscript code for turning on well-tempered
screening in ghostscript 8.00+.

6200L read interpretation.

. finish long-overdue nowhere-bid write functionality for
similating mis-understood/failed read.

2004-09-13: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. x86_64 platform issue: shared libraries requires -fPIC
to build. Removed libijs.so and the original ijs*example* targets
from makefiles. We link statically with libieee1284 or libusb
as always, so there is no need to do anything about these two.
2004-06-18: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. update IJS component to 0.35
2004-06-02: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. ppc 'unsigned char'/x86 'signed char' fix in epl_compress.c

. Ooops, forgot to activate the polling on 6100L.
2003-09-10: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. Added prelimary null transport skeleton code to debug bid problems.
2003-09-08: cvs - Roberto Ragusa
. Added epl_61interpret.c.
. First attempt to do (free mem) flow control on 6100L.
2003-09-04: cvs - Roberto Ragusa
. Unified all sleeping functions into sleep_seconds(double s).
. We try to accurately detect how big is the buffer of the printer
(this will be useful for future enhancements).
. Flow control is now more cleanly integrated. At the moment
there are two speed limiters: a stripe to stripe delay
(used only for 5700L) and a closed-loop free mem delay
(5800L, 5900L only; it should work for 5700L too but it's
disabled because htl doesn't want it :-) ).
. The free mem flow control now uses a better estimation
algorithm.
. Small misc fixes (code style, debug output).
. Added epl_time.c, a lot of code has been moved around.
2003-07-18: cvs - Hin-Tak Leung
. fixing the autoconf code to detect correctly kernel versions of the form
"2.4.21-0.13mdk" (extra dot) reported for mandrake 9.x.

2003-04-11: cvs - Roberto Ragusa
. Added adaptive flow control algorithm for 5800L/5900L/6100L
(5700L unchanged). It appears to be rock solid, according to
first tests.
. Printer replies are now interpreted and logged (if debug is on) for
5800L/5900L. 5700L and 6100L need some work to implement that.
. epl_test.sh can be run without having to "make install".
. Misc fixes and moved some code around.
2003-04-10: cvs - Roberto Ragusa

reverting "USB=on" in ps2epl to "off", as there is now
two ways of doing 5700L USB printing.

* !!Changed behavior!!:
ps2epl now has "TonerSave=on", and also "USB=on" for 5700L.
