 349           STR #3305)
 350         - cupsDoIORequest() did not abort on permanent errors (STR #3311)

 412           variables (STR #3210)

 414           needing a ranlib program (STR #3209)

 428         - ppdOpen*() could crash if a keyword had no value string (something
 429           that cupstestppd looks for...)
 430         - cupsLangDefault() did not return the correct language on Mac OS X.
 431         - The Mac OS X USB backend did not handle aborted or stalled pipe
 432           conditions properly, which prevented drivers from ejecting partial
 433           pages when a job was canceled or held.

 436 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b3
 437

 439           STR #3173)
 440         - Added complete localizations for German, Japanese, Polish, and
 441           Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
 442           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 443           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)
 444         - Updated the configure check for -fstack-protector (STR #3198)
 445         - The network backends now correctly convert SNMP supply descriptions to
 446           UTF-8 encoding as needed.
 447         - The scheduler could crash when deleting an attribute (STR #3197)

 451         - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for
 452           failed print jobs.
 453         - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133)
 454         - Fixed a number of ppdi issues and added a unit test to validate that
 455           ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)
 456         - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
 457           one printer or class added (STR #3094)
 458         - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
 459           stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
 460           reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
 461           (STR #3171)
 462         - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
 463         - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
 464         - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
 465           that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
 466           delegatable credentials.  Shared printing still requires delegation,
 467           however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
 468           all work.
 469         - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
 470         - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.
 471         - cupsBackChannelRead() and cupsBackChannelWrite() could fail due to a
 472           lack of kernel buffers.
 473         - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
 474           while copying print data to a temporary file.
 475         - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
 476           causing reduced performance in some situations.
 477         - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
 478           would hang on the client.
 479         - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
 480           work (STR #3132)
 481         - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
 482         - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
 483           product, or psversion (STR #3136)
 484         - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds
 485           (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
 486         - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
 487           filenames in the PPD file.

 489           values.

 493         - The scheduler could consume 100% CPU when jobs were canceled.

 495           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 496         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
 497           permissions.
 498         - httpAssembleURI*() did not escape backslashes in hostnames.
 499         - The dnssd backend did not unquote "full names" before creating the
 500           device URI.
 501         - The scheduler now supports JobRetryInterval values less than 10
 502           seconds.
 503         - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090)
 504         - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating
 505           them failed.
 506         - The "authenticated" policy incorrectly required authentication for
 507           status operations.
 508         - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
 509           keywords.
 510         - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
 511           maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
 512           often unreliable.
 513         - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
 514           "crashed".
 515         - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
 516         - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
 517         - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a

 519         - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
 520         - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
 521           (STR #3084)
 522         - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
 523           cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)
 524         - The scheduler now provides a LogTimeFormat directive to enable
 525           microseconds in the date and time that are logged.
 526         - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to
 527           control the timeout for multi-file print jobs.

 529           printer discovery (STR #3065)

 531           in length (STR #3072)

 538         - cupsGetPPD3() did not look for local PPDs in the right directory.
 539         - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and
 540           and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters.
 541         - The libusb-based USB backend did not work.
 542         - The scheduler did not set the printer-commands attribute correctly
 543           for some PPDs.
 544         - The ppdi utility did not work.
 545         - The web interface no longer uses multi-part output with old or broken

 553         - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)
 554         - cupsResolveConflicts() did not resolve using the default option
 555           choice in some cases due to the mirror UIConstraints that are
 556           present in most PPD files.
 557         - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities.
 558         - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
 559           its jobs.
 560         - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
 561         - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
 562           all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
 563           printers.
 564         - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
 565           printer attributes when a job was canceled.
 566         - The scheduler did not clear the "connecting-to-device" reason keyword
 567           when a job finished.

 570 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b2
 571
 572         - Documentation updates (STR #2983, STR #2998, STR #3021)
 573         - The cupstestppd utility now validates the FileVersion and
 574           FormatVersion values in PPD files.
 575         - The default cupsd.conf file did not reflect the
 576           --with-local-protocols value set at compile-time (STR #3037)
 577         - The cupsGetPPD* APIs now create symlinks to local PPD files
 578           rather than copying them whenever possible.
 579         - Various performance optimizations in the string pool, dests, and
 580           options implementations.
 581         - The cupsGetDests* APIs now return the marker and printer-commands
 582           attributes.

 584           was set to False in the PPD file.

 586           and network backends (STR #3014)
 587         - Added a Spanish localization (STR #3015)

 600           option called "fit-to-page".
 601         - The LPD backend no longer tries to collect page accounting
 602           information since the LPD protocol does not allow us to

 605         - Fixed a problem with printing to some IPP printers, including
