All,
My apologies for the couple day delay. The release was scheduled
for last Thursday but a regression was found.
Emmanuel Benisty reported that one of the commits caused a regression
problem. I reverted that commit and allowed a couple days for some
additional testing.
Chris Clayton has reported that this release doesn't work with gcc 4.8-snapshot.

libpng-dev, yes

I hope this does not upset anyone. Having looked at all my build depends for all printer packages and the inter-dependency I have made a decision I hope I don't regret.
In the spirit of epdfview, which on 4x is now just a viewer, I plan to re-compile cups on 4x to be just a cable cups
and introduce a new package ....cups-wl for those who need wireless. IMHO this is a better service to all users of TC in the long run.
In the short term, it means a delay in my 5x building, but I hope means I can test eventually a cups.tcz (usb cable only) on 5x
--then do the same when avahi-dev is rebuilt or dependencies changed etc for cups-wl.tcz
But Juanito may like to have some input on this, and it is likely to delay his hplip rebuild etc.
Sorry about that. I am guessing I will then have
cups-dev (meaning cable cups)
cups-wl-dev (meaning cable and/or wireless cups)
and am guessing will have a split for cups-filters into
cups-filters-dev.tcz (for usb or cable)
cups-filters-wl-dev.tcz (for cable or wireless)
It will take me probably a few days to build and test. On completion and submission I will announce it in the cups upgrade warning post.
As I have not yet built it, feel free to make comments or suggestions. I am also aware of the bloat of new cups and promise I try to see if I can do something about that as well....but no promises of less bloat...unless you count fewer dependencies?

coreplayer2:
cool thanks
Meanwhile, I ran into some issues with the Realtek firmware in firmware.tcz from tc-4.x One issue which may be effecting the Realtek's function is that both kernel mode drivers and corresponding firmware have been updated. These updated drivers from the new kernel do not appear to function with the old firmware files, imagine.. Some cleansing is needed.
So I built the 3.8.10 kernel with all it's modules using the tinycore-config and created an extension of the /lib/firmware files. This extension is missing a few firmware files found in tc4.x firmware.tcz (realtek wlan firmware for example) of which some may have been added later since the tcz's original build.
Ok, I have this updated firmware-3.8.10.tcz ext. in use and is working as expected with it's corresponding kernel modules (as far as I can test with the limited appropriate hardware). At least there are no outdated firmware files in this extension. I'm stepping lightly in curaga's territory here, so curaga I've pm'd you.
