5afab2da 441CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0

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

553 file to use the default authentication defined by the

560 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the

564 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
565 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
566 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.

584 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
585 (STR #2334)

587 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR

595 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
596 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)

613 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
614 with the list of printers.
615 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
616 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
