Hi,

in the course of creating the first Debian package of pappl-retrofit 
(for Ubuntu) I have done some fixes and improvements on the 1.0b1 
version and released them in version 1.0b2.

Besides many little fixes in the source code documentation I have added 
support for the Legacy Printer Application being run permanently as a 
system daemon. So distros can opt for this mode via a simple command 
line option to the ./configure call.

This way a user who wants to continue using a certain CUPS printer 
driver, which is installed as classic driver, only needs to install 
their distro's Legacy Printer Application package, and create a printer 
in the Legacy Printer Application's web interface.

Here we go:

There are also GitHub discussions set up for each release now.
