News
- 16 May 2014--PPR 2.00a1 has been released. This release has better IPP
support. The code is much cleaner and various half-completed and
obsolete features have been dropped. We have been using it in
production for about seven years now. As soon as any installation
problems which early users may report have been fixed we will
release version 2.00. Because this is a major release, it installs
itself alongside PPR version 1.XX. For example, the configuration
files for PPR version 1.XX are in /etc/ppr while for PPR 2.XX
then are in /etc/ppr2.
