OMNI is now listed on linuxprinting.org as Foomatic now supports
it. This makes the 400+ printers supported by OMNI more easily
available to Linux distributions which use the Foomatic print
system.

Version 0.6.1 released on April 19, 2002

Added new DeviceString class to handle translateable Strings.

Added getDeviceID () function to Orientation, Resolution, Form,
Tray, Media, and PrintMode Device classes. Added the optional
deviceID XML tag to those XML files.

Trying to work on documention issues.

Fixed the Ghostscript interface gomni.c. There are new patches for
Ghostscript!

Added install target to Makefile.

Added RedHat directory which contains spec files for RPMs. Rewrote
UPDF to use XML file dynamically instead of converting to cpp files
and compiling into a library.
