118 | "/tmp/cups-$USER" instead of "/tmp/$USER" (STR #981) | |
119 | - All backends now abort on error when printing a job to | |
120 | a class - this allows the next printer in the class to | |
121 | print the job (STR #1084) | |
122 | - The scheduler now verifies that a printer supports | |
123 | Letter or A4 media sizes before setting them as the | |

127 | - The USB backend now retries printing when the printer | |
128 | is disconnected or turned off (STR #1267) | |
129 | - Added new httpGetHostname() function to CUPS API, and | |
130 | use it instead of gethostname() so that the web | |

133 | - The scheduler now stops printers if the backend for the | |
134 | queue is missing on startup (STR #1265) | |
135 | - The configure script now supports "--disable-library" | |
136 | to disable particular image file format support | |
137 | libraries, even if they are available on the build | |
138 | system (STR #1248) | |
139 | - The IPP backend did not always report on the total | |
140 | number of pages that were printed (STR #1251) | |
141 | - The lpstat program could display garbage date and time | |
142 | values for locales whose date format exceeded 31 | |
143 | characters (STR #1263) | |
144 | - The cupstestppd program would segfault when testing | |
145 | certain broken PPD files (STR #1268) | |
146 | - Dramatically reduced the overhead of implicit classes. | |
147 | - Added new cupsDir*() functions to CUPS API. | |
148 | - Printers can now be published individually for sharing. | |
149 | - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's startup signalling code | |
150 | which caused cupsd to send the SIGUSR1 signal to the | |
151 | init process instead of the original parent process | |
152 | (STR #1258) | |
153 | - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide | |
154 | searchable help. | |
155 | - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query | |
156 | doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous | |
157 | startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new | |
158 | printers to be seen without restarting the server, | |
159 | however it limits the amount of device URI checking | |
160 | that can be done (basically now the scheduler only | |
161 | requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend) | |
162 | - Added new printer auto-detection, server configuration, | |
163 | and log file viewing to the administration web page. | |
164 | - Added new "set allowed users" web interface to set the | |
165 | list of allowed users for a printer or class. | |
166 | - The scheduler, command-line, and web interfaces now | |
167 | limit the list of printers and classes to those | |
168 | accessible by a user. | |

173 | defined (STR #1220) | |
174 | - The scheduler's denial-of-service checks did not work | |
175 | properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134) | |
176 | - The lp and lpr commands did not error out properly when | |
177 | they were unable to write to a temporary file (STR | |
178 | #1129) | |
179 | - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific | |
180 | comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085) | |
181 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer | |
182 | interface (STR #936) | |
183 | - The web interface now operates exclusively with the | |
184 | UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set | |
185 | and header information to the web browser (STR #919, | |
186 | STR #1007) | |
187 | - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web | |
188 | interface so that you can set the list of allowed or | |
189 | denied users/groups for a printer or class. | |
190 | - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it | |
191 | has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in | |
192 | URIs (STR #917, STR #1202) | |
193 | - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and | |
194 | support for it to the texttops filter so that you can | |
195 | pretty print plain text files without the C/C++ | |
196 | keywords being highlighted. | |
197 | - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR | |
198 | #1226) | |
199 | - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor | |
200 | directives followed by a tab properly. | |
201 | - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG | |
202 | commands to show the current job on the printer's | |
203 | display (STR #1218) | |
204 | - Local authentication certificates are now stored in | |
205 | /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of | |
206 | /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211) | |
207 | - Backends now use "&" to separate options in device | |
208 | URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR | |
209 | #842) | |
210 | - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo | |
211 | format on systems that support device ID queries. | |
212 | - Forced classification markings did not work when the | |
213 | job-sheets parameters were "none,none". | |
214 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed, | |
215 | even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR | |
216 | #801) | |
217 | - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients | |
218 | without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives. | |
219 | - The CUPS API and scheduler no longer support SSLv2- | |
220 | encrypted connections. | |
221 | - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the | |
222 | CUPS driver for Windows. | |
223 | - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which | |
224 | ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies | |
225 | when it was busy (STR #1184) | |
226 | - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when | |
227 | opening files in append mode (STR #990) | |
228 | - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially | |
229 | private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with | |
230 | other implementations with the same name. | |
231 | - The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded some Type1 | |
232 | fonts (STR #1093) | |
233 | - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the | |
234 | middle of an IPP request (STR #1153) | |
235 | - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status | |
236 | if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in | |
237 | the same input cycle (STR #1157) | |
238 | - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to | |
239 | infinite recursion. | |
240 | - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the | |
241 | run-length encoding and support more options. | |
242 | - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well | |
243 | as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049) | |
244 | - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under | |
245 | certain circumstances (STR #1068) | |
246 | - The USB backend termination signal code was inverted | |
247 | (STR #1046) | |
248 | - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be | |
249 | consistent. | |

251 | filters to setup the raster page header from | |
252 | PostScript commands in a PPD file. | |
253 | - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit | |
254 | to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the | |
255 | server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully | |
256 | (STR #793) | |
257 | - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf | |
258 | and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form | |
259 | "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket". | |
260 | - The "cancel -u user" command now works for ordinary | |
261 | users (STR #751) | |
262 | - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64) | |
263 | - Added domain socket support (STR #656) | |
264 | - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the | |
265 | administrator to add printer URI options to the browse | |
266 | URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR #732) | |
267 | - Added BrowseRemoteOptions directive to allow the | |
268 | administrator to add standard URI options to the | |

283 | backend errors are handled by the scheduler | |
284 | (abort-job, retry-job, requeue-job, stop-printer) | |
285 | - Updated the printer test page with a better color | |
286 | wheel and a separate grayscale ramp. | |
