---------------------------------

CHANGES IN CUPS V2.0rc1

	- Documentation updates (STR #4464)
	- The scheduler incorrectly called launch_activate_socket multiple times
	  on OS X (<rdar://problem/17523218>)
	- The ippserver test program now passes the IPP Everywhere self-
	  certification tests (STR #4101)
	- Relaxed the new OS X filter sandbox slightly (STR #4471,
	  <rdar://problem/17483959>)
	- Dropped the old Epson Stylus Color/Photo sample drivers since they
	  don't work with any current printers and there are free alternatives
	  that produce much better output (<rdar://problem/18036889>)

	- Added a "--list-filters" option to the cupsfilter command (STR #4325)
        - Added systemd support (STR #3917)
	- Added support for re-sending a job as a raster file if a higher-level
	  format such as PDF fails (<rdar://problem/15583721>)
	- Added support for regular expression matching in the MIME type rules
	  (<rdar://problem/11131245>)

	- Added support for PAUSE directive in ipptool test files.
	- Added support for auto-typing of TIFF files by ipptool (STR #4418)
	- The scheduler now returns completed jobs in the correct newest-to-
	  oldest order (STR #4396)
	- The configure script now supports target-specific tools for pkg-config
	  and others (STR #4423)
	- The ipptool program now supports EXPECT statements for collection
	  member attributes (<rdar://problem/15355218>)
	- The ipptool program now supports collection attributes with multiple
	  values (<rdar://problem/15355124>)
	- The sample drivers now include all of the installed localizations by
	  default (<rdar://problem/14756625>)
	- Adopted Linux man page conventions and updated all man pages
	  (STR #4372, STR #4329)
	- The scheduler now supports the "first-index" operation attribute for
	  the Get-Jobs operation (STR #2913)
	- Changed the default AccessLogLevel and PageLogFormat to disable the
	  access_log and page_log files by default (<rdar://problem/16495000>)
	- cupsRasterInterpretPPD now supports the Orientation header in order to
	  support long-edge feed raster printers (<rdar://problem/15837926>)

	  longer supported.

	  of completed jobs returned by Get-Jobs as needed in order to prevent a
	  denial-of-service on busy servers (STR #2913)
	- The filter/backend sandbox on OS X now defaults to a more strict
	  whitelist (<rdar://problem/15939788>)

	  (<rdar://problem/16385643>)
	- The scheduler now uses </DefaultPrinter> to close the default printer
	  definition in printers.conf (STR #4153)
	- Canceling all jobs in the web interface now just cancels the jobs
	  (STR #1914)
