New Functionality:

• New flag --600dpi for brother_ql_create! You can now print with the higher resolution (600x300 dpi). Just provide an image file with twice the number of pixels in both dimensions as you'd do for the (normal) 300dpi mode.
• New flag --lq (low quality) for brother_ql_create to enable faster printing with (much) lower quality.

Bug Fixes:

• Printing of GIF images is fixed regardless of the --red flag
• Fixed a timeout issue with the network backend of brother_ql_print, that occurred when printing longer labels (or via slow connections).

Changed behaviour:

• The create_label() function in brother_ql_create.py may now raise a ValueError upon bad image pixel size (die-cut labels only) instead of calling sys.exit()
• brother_ql_print now lists ALL printers found, not just one. A connection string per device will be printed to stdout (one printer per line) and more verbose information will be printed to stderr. This helps with parsing the output of the tool in scripts.
• brother_ql_analyze can now read from stdin (with -). This means you can directly pipe the output there like this:
  brother_ql_create --rotate 90 --model QL-710W your_image.png | brother_ql_analyse -
