471 HTTP requests.
472 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the

478 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

512 - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
513 STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
514 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
515 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
516 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
517 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
518 - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
519 over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
520 - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
521 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
522 default (STR #2164)
523 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
524 file to use the default authentication defined by the
525 DefaultAuthType directive.
526 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
527 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows

529 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
530 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
531 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
532 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
533 driver.
534 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
535 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
536 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
537 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
538 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
539 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR

542 remote printers (STR #2384)
543 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
544 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
545 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
546 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)

555 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
556 (STR #2334)
557 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
558 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
559 #2383)
560 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
561 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
562 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
563 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
564 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
565 (STR #2240)
566 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
567 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
568 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
569 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

584 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
585 with the list of printers.
586 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
587 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
