CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b3
- - Documentation fixes (STR #3044, STR #3057)
+ - Documentation fixes (STR #3044, STR #3057, STR #3153, STR #3158,
+ STR #3173)
+ - Added complete localizations for German, Japanese, Polish, and
+ Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
+ French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
+ (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)
+ - Updated the configure check for -fstack-protector (STR #3198)
+ - The network backends now correctly convert SNMP supply descriptions to
+ UTF-8 encoding as needed.
+ - The scheduler could crash when deleting an attribute (STR #3197)
+ - The cups-driverd program did not detect symlink loops (STR #3185)
+ - The EPSON 24-pin series driver should now feed the correct amount
+ (STR #2624)
+ - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for
+ failed print jobs.
+ - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133)
+ - Fixed a number of ppdi issues and added a unit test to validate that
+ ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)
+ - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
+ one printer or class added (STR #3094)
+ - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
+ stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
+ reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
+ (STR #3171)
+ - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
+ - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
+ - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
+ that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
+ delegatable credentials. Shared printing still requires delegation,
+ however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
+ all work.
+ - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
+ - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.
+ - cupsBackChannelRead() and cupsBackChannelWrite() could fail due to a
+ lack of kernel buffers.
+ - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
+ while copying print data to a temporary file.
+ - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
+ causing reduced performance in some situations.
+ - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
+ would hang on the client.
+ - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
+ work (STR #3132)
+ - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
- CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
product, or psversion (STR #3136)
- The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds
devices (STR #3108)
- The cupsSideChannelSNMP* functions did not work.
- The scheduler could consume 100% CPU when jobs were canceled.
- - Added complete localizations for Japanese, Polish, and Russian and
- partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, German, Finnish, French,
- Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish (STR #3096,
- STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111)
- Clicking on "Select Another Make/Manufacturer" in the web interface
incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
- The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
status operations.
- ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
keywords.
- - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" status bit
- since some printers report this status when the printer is busy
- printing, warming up, etc.
+ - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
+ maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
+ often unreliable.
- The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
"crashed".
- The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
