5afab2da 434CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0

493 HTTP requests.
494 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the

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

546 file to use the default authentication defined by the

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

577 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
578 (STR #2334)

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

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

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