431
5afab2da 432CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0

438 (STR #2470)
439 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
440 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the

491 HTTP requests.
492 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the

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

544 file to use the default authentication defined by the
545 DefaultAuthType directive.

550 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
551 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the

553 driver.
554 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
555 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
556 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
557 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.

575 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
576 (STR #2334)

578 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
579 #2383)

584 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
585 (STR #2240)
586 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
587 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
588 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP

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

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