347 | - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have | |
348 | one printer or class added (STR #3094) | |
349 | - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy | |

351 | reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now | |
352 | (STR #3171) | |
353 | - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953) | |
354 | - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly. | |
355 | - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so | |
356 | that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require | |
357 | delegatable credentials. Shared printing still requires delegation, | |
358 | however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this | |
359 | all work. | |

374 | product, or psversion (STR #3136) | |
375 | - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds | |
376 | (configurable) to cancel or hold the job. | |
377 | - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of | |
378 | filenames in the PPD file. | |

393 | seconds. | |
394 | - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090) | |
395 | - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating | |
396 | them failed. | |
397 | - The "authenticated" policy incorrectly required authentication for | |
398 | status operations. | |
399 | - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile | |
400 | keywords. | |
401 | - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or | |
402 | maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and | |
403 | often unreliable. | |
404 | - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as | |
405 | "crashed". | |
406 | - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085) | |
407 | - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086) | |
408 | - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a | |

416 | microseconds in the date and time that are logged. | |
417 | - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to | |
418 | control the timeout for multi-file print jobs. | |

427 | - The scheduler incorrectly created an empty org.cups.printers.plist | |
428 | file on Mac OS X. | |
429 | - cupsGetPPD3() did not look for local PPDs in the right directory. | |
430 | - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and | |
431 | and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters. | |

443 | - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043) | |
444 | - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047) | |
445 | - cupsResolveConflicts() did not resolve using the default option | |
446 | choice in some cases due to the mirror UIConstraints that are | |
447 | present in most PPD files. | |
448 | - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities. | |
449 | - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end | |
450 | its jobs. | |
451 | - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly. | |
452 | - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels | |
453 | all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS | |
454 | printers. | |
455 | - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update | |
456 | printer attributes when a job was canceled. | |
