cpdb-backend-file 2.0b5

In the fifth beta release for cpdb-backend-file 2.0.0 we have removed the now unnecessary backend info file and fixed some bugs.

• Remove CPDB backend info file
  The frontend libraries now use only the D-Bus to find available backends. This makes sure that everything works also if the frontend and/or any of the backends are installed via sandboxed packaging (like Snap for example) where the components cannot read each other's file systems.
• Build system: Removed unnecessary lines in tools/Makefile.am
  Removed the TESTdir and TEST_SCRIPTS entries in tools/Makefile.am. They are not needed and let make install try to install run-tests.sh in the source directory, where it already is, causing an error.

cpdb-backend-file 2.0b4

In the forth beta release for cpdb-backend-file 2.0.0 we have now added a make check test and fixed a crasher.

• Added test script for make test/make check
  The script src/run-tests.sh starts this backend and the cpdb-text-frontend text mode example frontend of cpdb-libs in one dbus-run-session environment. The frontend discovers the backend and some test tasks are done with it, like listing options and printing a job.
• README.md: Updated for renaming of cpdb-libs tools
  The test/development frontend print_frontend is renamed to cpdb-text-frontend now.
• Fixed buffer overflow caused in log line in the backend
