153 | ||
154 | CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b3 | |
155 | ||

157 | STR #3173) | |

168 | (STR #2624) | |
169 | - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for | |
170 | failed print jobs. | |
171 | - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133) | |

173 | ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152) | |
174 | - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have | |
175 | one printer or class added (STR #3094) | |
176 | - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy | |
177 | stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current | |
178 | reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now | |
179 | (STR #3171) | |
180 | - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953) | |
181 | - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly. | |
182 | - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so | |
183 | that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require | |
184 | delegatable credentials. Shared printing still requires delegation, | |
185 | however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this | |
186 | all work. | |
187 | - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors. | |
188 | - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up. | |

190 | lack of kernel buffers. | |
191 | - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests | |
192 | while copying print data to a temporary file. | |
193 | - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily, | |
194 | causing reduced performance in some situations. | |

199 | - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes. | |
200 | - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language, | |
201 | product, or psversion (STR #3136) | |
202 | - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds | |
203 | (configurable) to cancel or hold the job. | |
204 | - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of | |
205 | filenames in the PPD file. | |
206 | - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion | |
207 | values. | |

209 | devices (STR #3108) | |

218 | device URI. | |

220 | seconds. | |
221 | - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090) | |
222 | - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating | |
223 | them failed. | |
224 | - The "authenticated" policy incorrectly required authentication for | |
225 | status operations. | |
226 | - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile | |
227 | keywords. | |
228 | - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or | |
229 | maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and | |
230 | often unreliable. | |
231 | - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as | |
232 | "crashed". | |
233 | - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085) | |
234 | - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086) | |
235 | - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a | |
236 | printer had other reasons associated with it. | |

238 | - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly | |
239 | (STR #3084) | |
240 | - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like | |
241 | cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082) | |
242 | - The scheduler now provides a LogTimeFormat directive to enable | |
243 | microseconds in the date and time that are logged. | |
244 | - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to | |
245 | control the timeout for multi-file print jobs. | |
246 | - The configure script incorrectly allowed Avahi to be used for DNS-SD | |
247 | printer discovery (STR #3065) | |
248 | - The web interface and scheduler did not support URIs up to 1024 bytes | |
249 | in length (STR #3072) | |

252 | - The scheduler incorrectly registered default profiles for PostScript | |
253 | printers with no specified colorspace. | |
254 | - The scheduler incorrectly created an empty org.cups.printers.plist | |
255 | file on Mac OS X. | |
256 | - cupsGetPPD3() did not look for local PPDs in the right directory. | |
257 | - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and | |
258 | and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters. | |

269 | have associated translation text (STR #3045) | |
270 | - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043) | |
271 | - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047) | |
272 | - cupsResolveConflicts() did not resolve using the default option | |
273 | choice in some cases due to the mirror UIConstraints that are | |
274 | present in most PPD files. | |
275 | - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities. | |
276 | - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end | |
277 | its jobs. | |
278 | - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly. | |
279 | - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels | |
280 | all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS | |
281 | printers. | |
282 | - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update | |
283 | printer attributes when a job was canceled. | |

323 | - Fixed a problem with printing to some IPP printers, including | |
