All,

I have posted candidate builds of the IPP Everywhere Printer Self-Certification Tools v1.1 Update 4 to:

	https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/sw-ippeveselfcert11-20220225-macos.zip
	https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/sw-ippeveselfcert11-20220225-rhel.tar.gz
	https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/sw-ippeveselfcert11-20220225-ubuntu.tar.gz
	https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/sw-ippeveselfcert11-20220225-windows.msi

These tools fix all of the known bugs in the self-certification tools and have been tested locally by me on some existing IPP Everywhere printers as well as the ippeveprinter test server.  Changes include:

- Added support for running the self-certification tools non-interactively
  with the "make test" command (Issue #56, Issue #62)
- The `ippevesubmit` program did not validate the correct number of tests for
  the document results (Issue #71)
- The DNS-SD TLS key test was incorrectly specified (Issue #72)
- The `ippevesubmit` program now validates and converts product web page URLs
  (Issue #75)
- The IPP and document tests now support printers that do not support US letter
  or ISO A4 sizes (Issue #78)
- The `ipptool` program can now generate PWG Raster documents dynamically for
  printers (Issue #79)
- The `ippevesubmit` program now uses the modification date of the plist files
  instead of the current date when generating the JSON submission file
  (Issue #81)
- The `ippfind` program did not correctly escape command-line arguments passed
  during the DNS-SD tests (Issue #83)
- Fixed the conditional requirements for "printer-supply-xxx" attributes with
  printers that do not have supplies.
- Fixed some problems with the Windows DNS-SD test script.

Note: The new tools no longer depend on downloading PWG raster files - they are capable of generating the necessary raster test files on the fly and support all media sizes, most color spaces (all but the Device-N ones), all bit depths, and all duplex modes ("pwg-raster-document-sheet-back" values).  Thus, a much wider range of printers should be supported by the tools.

Please test these tools against your own printers and report on successes as well as any problems you run into, either by replying to this message *or* by using the Github issue tracker at:

	https://github.com/istopwg/ippeveselfcert/issues

The plan is to release these builds no sooner than March 11th, and only after I have received at least two positive testing results.

Enjoy!
