[Printing-architecture] PAPPL 1.1b1

[Michael Sweet]

All,

The first beta release of PAPPL v1.1 is now available for download.  PAPPL v1.1 adds support for Wi-Fi configuration, IPP-USB, printer driver lookup and auto-add functionality, improves management of multiple printers, and adds support for Microsoft® Windows® 10 and higher.

	https://github.com/michaelrsweet/pappl/releases/tag/v1.1b1

Changes in 1.1b1 include:

- Added support for Windows 10 and higher.
- Added `PAPPL_SOPTIONS_NO_TLS` option to disable TLS support.
- Added Wi-Fi callbacks to support configuration over IPP-USB (Issue #45)
- Added buttons and sub-commands to pause and resume printers (Issue #124)
- `papplMainLoop` now uses a persistent location for state and spool files by
  default (Issue #128)
- `papplMainLoop` now supports clients talking to a system-wide server running
  as root (Issue #148)
- Added a "set default" button to the web interface (Issue #150)
- The `drivers` sub-command now reports the IEEE-1284 device ID for a given
  driver (Issue #157)
- Jobs can now be canceled and printers deleted when a processing job is trying
  to connect to a printer (Issue #163)
- The default media is now updated if the ready media for a given tray is
  updated (Issue #164)
- Fixed an issue with the "drivers" sub-command not working if you don't have a
  system callback.
- Fixed a deadlock issue on macOS.
- Added a new `papplJobCreateWithFile` API to allow printer applications to
  submit print jobs internally.
- Refactored the `papplSystem` hostname/port APIs to be consistent with the
  naming used for the `papplClient` APIs.

Enjoy!

Michael, thanks for the announcement.

Now everyone can test the new PAPPL features on the Ghostscript Printer 
Applications and the PostScript Printer Application.

They are rebuilding now in the Snap Store, using the newest PAPPL as 
announced here and will be ready in 30 min to 1 hour depending on 
architecture (amd64 is fastest).

Then they can get grabbed from the Snap Store and the new functionality 
of PAPPL can be tested. Anyone who already has one or another of these 
Printer Applications installed as Snap will get an automatic updated.

    Till
