156 | - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide | |
157 | searchable help. | |
cbc2da6a | 158 | - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query |
159 | doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous | |
160 | startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new | |
161 | printers to be seen without restarting the server, | |
162 | however it limits the amount of device URI checking | |
163 | that can be done (basically now the scheduler only | |
164 | requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend) | |
165 | - Added new printer auto-detection, server configuration, | |
166 | and log file viewing to the administration web page. | |

178 | properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134) | |

185 | interface (STR #936) | |

189 | STR #1007) | |
707471a3 | 190 | - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web |
191 | interface so that you can set the list of allowed or | |
192 | denied users/groups for a printer or class. | |
a3901bc4 | 193 | - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it |
194 | has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in | |
a75b385c | 195 | URIs (STR #917, STR #1202) |
56dea8f0 | 196 | - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and |
197 | support for it to the texttops filter so that you can | |
198 | pretty print plain text files without the C/C++ | |
199 | keywords being highlighted. | |
fd872a52 | 200 | - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR |
201 | #1226) | |
e4420384 | 202 | - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor |
203 | directives followed by a tab properly. | |
625ced05 | 204 | - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG |
205 | commands to show the current job on the printer's | |
206 | display (STR #1218) | |
d4102150 | 207 | - Local authentication certificates are now stored in |

209 | /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211) | |

211 | URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR | |

214 | format on systems that support device ID queries. | |

216 | job-sheets parameters were "none,none". | |
89de6dc8 | 217 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed, |
218 | even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR | |
219 | #801) | |

223 | encrypted connections. | |
49041045 | 224 | - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the |
225 | CUPS driver for Windows. | |
81566a54 | 226 | - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which |
227 | ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies | |
228 | when it was busy (STR #1184) | |

230 | opening files in append mode (STR #990) | |

250 | (STR #1046) | |
f7ecc922 | 251 | - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be |
252 | consistent. | |
3fa9815c | 253 | - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP |
254 | filters to setup the raster page header from | |
