- The default password function did not work on some platforms
(STR #4750)
- The scheduler should not exit under memory pressure

- The EPL2 and ZPL sample drivers did not properly support the
CutMedia option.
- Pending subscriptions would prevent the scheduler from idle exiting
(STR #4754)

(<rdar://problem/24137160>)

- Localization fix (STR #4756)
- CUPS Filters 1.8.4 release plans (Till)
- README: Fixed typos. Thanks to Pranjal Bhor (bhor dot pranjal
at gmail dot com) for the patch.
- braille: Recognize application/vnd.cups-pdf-banner MIME type
and read standard input directly instead of using /dev/stdin.
- braille: Drop output of the "type" command when checking the
presence of helper utilities.
- braille: Do not send EOF twice to the braille embosser.
- cups-browsed/sys5ippprinter: Fixed documentation about the
allowed input formats for auto-created network printer queues
using sys5ippprinter, also improved NEWS entry about renaming
of sys5ippprinter (Debian bug #819665).
- CUPS Filters v1.8.3 release on 23 March 2016 (Till)
- cups-browsed: When creating or modifying a local print queue
set the printer-is-shared bit to false in a separate IPP
request as this operation errors on queues directly pointing
to remote CUPS queues with the IPP backend. This way we can
ignore the error and assure that all other settings are
applied (Ubuntu bug #1560099).
- Fixed pkg-config support so that $PKG_CONFIG gets used and
cross compilation works (Bug #1347).
- gstoraster: Put conversion rules for this filter into a
separate file, so that they do not get installed when we
build without Ghostscript support (Bug #1346).
- Allow disabling dependencies on IJS (Bug #1345).
- pdftops: Switch to Poppler as PDF renderer also for the
Apple LaserWriter 12/640, to work around a bug in the
printer's PostScript interpreter (Bug #1344).
- GSoC did not accept Linux Foundation as a mentor for 2015
- many *new* organizations were accepted instead
- Till sent in mentor application for Linux Foundation - accepted!
- added project descriptions
- reused applicable project ideas from last year
- Open Printing projects for 2016
- Add muPDF support to CUPS Filters
- Pranjal Bhor (from India)
- Using the lightweight MuPDF PDF interpreter allows for a
smaller and less resource-consuming printing stack on mobile
devices and appliances.Work will consist of adding a rastertops
filter, adding MuPDF support to the existing filters, and
adding a facility to flatten filled forms in PDF files to
static PDF content to assure filled in data will get printed.
