Here's what I have so far for 5.2.7. Comments please. I'd like to
get the release out in the next week or two if that's going to line up
(our last release was in August).
Gernot, how is the Canon stuff coming along?
Michael, is there anything outstanding for the dyesub driver?
Anything else people have in the pipeline?

2) Add additional photo modes to Canon inkjet printers.
3) Correct page size limit for EPSON Stylus Pro 7600, 7800, 7880,
9600, 9800, and 9880 (previously these printers had overly
restrictive page limits).
4) Correct printing to the EPSON Stylus NX200, NX215, SX200, SX205,
SX210, and SX215.
5) Corrected basic printer definitions of EPSON Stylus Pro 3800,
3880, 7800, and 9800.
6) Corrected media definitions and improve printing quality for
EPSON Stylus Pro 3800, 3880, 4800, 4880, 7800, 7880, 9800, 9880,
11800, and 11880. This will result in substantial changes in
output; if this is an issue, please use the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600
or 9600 driver as appropriate. There are new printer definitions
named "EPSON Stylus Pro 4800/4880 Back Compatible" and "EPSON
Stylus Pro 11800/11880 Back Compatible" available for people with
existing tuned workflows for those printers.
There are no back compatibility modes for the EPSON Stylus Pro
3800 and 3880 as those printers were previously marked
experimental with a note that their output was expected to change
substantially.
7) Allow EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880 to select matte and photo
black ink automatically based on ink set choice (it is no longer
necessary to set this on the front panel).
8) Improved reliability of escputil.
9) Corrected color matching profile used for Mac OS X 10.5.x.
sRGB will now be used instead of Generic RGB. Users with work-
flows dependant on the previously used Generic RGB can select
this color profile in the print window by using ColorSync to
choose the profile rather than using VendorMatching.
10) CUPS PPD files now correctly identify which options affect
color, for the Common Printer Dialog.
11) A build problem on Solaris has been fixed.
