511 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
512
513 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
514 gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
515 heavy CPU usage.
516 - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
517 (STR #2470)
518 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
519 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
520 cupsd.conf file.
521 - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
522 options (STR #1846)
523 - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status
524 when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.
525 - The scheduler was not looking in the correct directories
526 for LSB PPD files (STR #2464)
527 - Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript
528 (STR #2463)
529 - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when
530 the job was canceled or stopped.

536
537

547
548 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
549 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
550 - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
551 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
552 jobs are left in the queue.
553 - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
554 failures, and the job file types at the default log
555 level (STR #2458)

568 - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
569 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
570 HTTP requests.
571 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
572 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
573 control" operations so that it is easier to define a
574 group of users that are "printer operators".
575 - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
576 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
577 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

602 authentication errors.

613 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
614 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
615 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
616 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

620 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
621 default (STR #2164)
622 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
623 file to use the default authentication defined by the
624 DefaultAuthType directive.
625 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
626 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
627 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
628 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
629 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
630 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
631 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
632 driver.
633 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
634 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
635 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
636 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
637 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
638 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR

642 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
643 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
644 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
645 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)

652 #2334, STR #2383)
653 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
654 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
655 (STR #2334)
656 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
657 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
658 #2383)
659 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
660 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
661 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
662 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
663 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
664 (STR #2240)
665 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
666 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
667 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
668 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

671 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
672 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
673 needed (STR #2353)

675 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)

680 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
681 - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
682 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
683 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
684 with the list of printers.
685 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
686 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
687 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel

698 - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
699 from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)

704 cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
705 - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory

710 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
711 #2239)
712 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
713 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
714 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
715 any address (STR #2008)
716 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
717 Internet" check box (STR #1897)

738 instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
739 - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
740 functions to get the current index and insertion
741 positions of an array.

747 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
748 strings (STR #1969)
749 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
