188 HTTP requests.
189 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
190 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
191 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

194 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
195 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

241 file to use the default authentication defined by the
242 DefaultAuthType directive.

246 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
247 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
248 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
249 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
250 driver.
251 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
252 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
253 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
254 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
255 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a

272 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
273 (STR #2334)
274 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
275 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
276 #2383)

278 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
279 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)

281 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
282 (STR #2240)
283 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
284 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
285 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP

298 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)

300 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
301 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
302 with the list of printers.
303 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
304 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)

317 from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)

365 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
366 strings (STR #1969)
