-date		ver	description of changes
-
-2015-12-29	1.3.2	- added inital ptouch-gtk - it is WITHOUT function
-			  for now. I just have somewhere to start...
-
-2015-11-12	1.3.1	- small bugfix
-			- now using autotools
-
-2015-02-13	1.3	- merged ptouch-printpng and ptouch-printtext to one
-			  single tool so that multiple texts and images can be
-			  printed in one single pass.
-			- added ptouch_cutmark() function
-			- added initial gettext() support
-
-2015-01-05	1.2.3	- fixed a bug that did cut off chars which go below the
-			  font baseline (like g,q,j,...)
-			  Seems that gdImageStringFT() interprets the y coord
-			  as baseline of the font (is this the case for all
-			  fonts??) instead of the bottom most pixel.
-
-2014-12-20	1.2.2	- added support for printing up to 4 lines of text
-
-2014-11-01	1.2.1	- added support for PT-1230PC printer (not tested)
-
-2014-10-1?	1.2	- added tool 'ptouch-printtext' which can print labels
-			  with one or two lines of text
-
-2014-10-11	1.1	- easier adding of (yet) unsupported p-touch printers
-			  and tape widths
-			- code cleanup
-
-2014-10-08	1.0	Initial release

 About:
 
-ptouch is a command line tool to print labels on Brother P-Touch
+ptouch-print is a command line tool to print labels on Brother P-Touch
 printers on Linux.
 
 There is no need to install the printer via CUPS, the printer is accessed
 directly via libusb.
 
-The tool was written for and tested with the PT-2430PC, but it should also
-work with the PT-1230PC (untested so far).
+The tool was written for and tested with the PT-2430PC, but meanwhile is also
+used with others (see "ptouch-print --list-supported")
 Maybe others work too (please report USB VID and PID so I can include support
 for further models, too).
