All,
It occurs to me, after looking at the current stable draft of IPP Finishings 2.1, that we don't have a high-level "Changes" section detailing the changes between published versions of PWG 5100.1 like we do for RFC2910bis and RFC2911bis, and that such a section would help our discussions at the F2F as well as providing useful context for readers once the update is published.
Proposed content:
11. Overview of Changes
11.1 Changes in IPP Finishings v2.1
The following changes were made for IPP Finishings v2.1:
- Added finishing enums and templates for multiple-hole punching and an engineering Z fold.
- Defined an extension naming convention for the "finishing-template" member attribute.
- Added the "media-sheets-supported" member attribute for the "finishings-col-database" and "finishings-col-ready" attributes.
- Added the "stitching-method" member attribute for the "finishings-col", "finishings-col-database", and "finishings-col-ready" attributes.
- Added the "printer-finisher-supplies" and "printer-finisher-supplies-description" attributes.
11.2 Changes in IPP Finishings v2.0
The following changes were made for IPP Finishings v2.0:
- Moved definition of PWG 5100.3 "finishings-col" attribute to this document and added new member attributes for all finishings processes.
- Added finishing enums and templates for coating, lamination, triple stapling, different kinds of punching, and common folds.
- Added the "finishings-col-database" and "job-pages-per-set" attributes.
- Added the "media-size" and "media-size-name" member attributes for the "finishings-col-database" and "finishings-col-ready" attributes.
