+Welcome to Gutenprint 5.0.2!  Please read these release notes
 carefully.
 
 Gutenprint, formerly named Gimp-Print, is a suite of printer drivers
 that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems,
 including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others.  These drivers provide high
-quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2, 10.3, and
-10.4) and Linux systems that in many cases equal or exceed proprietary
-vendor-supplied drivers in quality and functionality, and can be used
-for demanding printing tasks requiring flexibility and high quality.
-This software package includes an enhanced Print plug-in for the GIMP
-that replaces the plug-in packaged with the GIMP, and Ghostscript and
-CUPS drivers, as well as Foomatic data supporting the Ghostscript
-driver.

 type printing press.  Finally, the word "guten" means "good" in
 German.

 II) MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES
 
-A) NEW FEATURES AND FIXES IN GUTENPRINT 5.0.1:
+*) NEW FEATURES AND FIXES IN GUTENPRINT 5.0.2:
+
+   1) New printers supported in this release:
+
+      * Epson inkjet printers:
+
+	Epson Stylus CX4400
+	Epson Stylus CX4900
+	Epson Stylus CX5600
+	Epson Stylus CX7400

+	Canon MP740
+
+      * PCL laser printers:
+
+      	Sharp AR-M257
+	HP LserJet 1022
+
+   2) Preliminary support for the following printers:
+
+      * Canon inkjet printers:
+
+	Canon BJC5100
+	Canon BJC5500
+	Canon BJC8500
+	Canon Pixma iP4500
+	Canon Pixma iP5300
+	Canon Pixma iP8500
+	Canon Pixma iX5000
+	Canon Pixma MP170
+	Canon Pixma MP180
+	Canon Pixma MP610
+	Canon Pixma Pro 9500
+	Canon i80
+
+      * Dye sublimation printers:
+
+	Canon SELPHY ES1 (*)
+	Canon SELPHY ES2 (*)
+	Canon SELPHY ES20(*)
+	Shinko CHC S9045
+
+	(*) Note that these printers may not work on all systems due to
+	    communication requirements.
+
+   3) All native CUPS PPD files are now perfectly compliant with the
+      PPD specification, as tested under CUPS 1.2.  Fixing this
+      requires some changes to the internal resolution names.  These
+      changes should be transparent if PPD files are updated with
+      cups-genppdupdate.5.1.
+
+   4) Borderless printing on the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 now works
+      correctly.
+
+   5) The printer maintenance utility for EPSON inkjet printers,
+      escputil, now reports status more reliably.  Previously some
+      people reported errors of the form "Unknown IEEE 1284.4 error";
+      these errors have been resolved.
+
+      In addition, escputil now correctly reports the ink color for
+      certain printers (in particular, printers using Claria (TM) inks
+      and printers using alternate ink cartridges (for example, the
+      Stylus Photo 1400 that allows either a photo black or a matte
+      black ink cartridge to be installed).
+
+   6) A bug in which certain data was not printed correctly by Canon
+      inkjet printers was fixed (in areas where the entire area was
+      filled with maximum color density, some lines could be silently
+      discarded).
+
+   7) A bug involving excessive memory consumption in certain cases
+      has been fixed.  Printing multiple page documents on Canon
+      inkjet printers with the Duplex option set to Long Edge resulted
+      in very large memory consumption on alternate pages, which was
+      not released until the job completed.  For example, in color at
+      600 DPI, the memory consumption would be about 120 megabytes on
+      alternate pages, so printing a 100 page document would result in
+      6 GB of memory consumption.  Depending upon the system, the
+      results might be that the job would fail to print or would only
+      partially print, the system might run very slowly while the job
+      was being processed, or other components of the system might
+      fail.
+
+   8) Various fixes for the Canon iP4000, iP4200, and i560.  Color
+      improvements have been made on the iP4200.
+
+   9) The paper size for the CD - Custom paper size has been changed
+      to 120 mm from 118.8 mm to allow correct printing from CUPS.
+
+   10) A compile problem on Solaris has been fixed.
+
+   11) It is now possible to specify the printer model to all escputil
+      commands, via the -m option.  It is no longer necessary to use
+      the -u option to specify a new printer vs. an old printer.
+
+   12) The Epson driver will not select resolutions higher than
+      5760x1440 for the automatic quality settings, as we have
+      determined that many current printers offer poor quality at the
+      bottom of the page with resolutions of 2880x2880 and 5760x2880.
+      We have not removed these resolutions altogether, as they may
+      work well for certain applications, but they will not be
+      automatically selected by the Best or Ultra Photo quality
+      settings.
+
+   13) A problem where in some cases certain options were not handled
+      correctly by the CUPS driver has been fixed.  In particular,
+      yes/no options such as borderless printing were not handled
+      correctly in all cases when the printing system is CUPS 1.2 or
+      1.3.
+
+   14) The CUPS driver in Gutenprint, and all associated utilities,
+      are now licensed as GPL v2 or higher.  That code was previously
+      licensed as GPL v2 only.  While that did not cause any direct
+      problems, since the CUPS driver does not form a library that
+      other code may wish to link against, it was licensed differently
+      from the rest of the Gutenprint project.  That is now resolved,
+      and the entire Gutenprint code base is now licensed as GPL v2 or
+      higher.
