26 | printer did not match. | |

29 | files (STR #2508) | |
30 | - Fix compile problem on HP-UX (STR #2501) | |
31 | - The cupstestppd utility now tests for resolutions greater | |

35 | a new "checkpo" utility to validate them. | |

41 | local queue would also get stopped and the job re-queued, | |
42 | resulting in duplicate prints in some cases. | |
43 | - A few Apple-specific job options needed to be omitted when | |

73 | ||
76cd9e37 MS |
74 | - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions |

83 | options (STR #1846) | |
84 | - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status | |
85 | when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue. | |
86 | - The scheduler was not looking in the correct directories | |
87 | for LSB PPD files (STR #2464) | |
88 | - Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript | |
89 | (STR #2463) | |
c24d2134 MS |
90 | - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when |
91 | the job was canceled or stopped. | |
92 | - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote | |
7ff4fea9 MS |
93 | printing. Note that this requires a recent version of |
94 | MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique() | |
95 | function or Heimdal Kerberos. | |
c24d2134 MS |
96 | - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs. |

124 | exporting of 64-bit Windows drivers, when available | |
125 | (STR #2439) | |

131 | HTTP requests. | |
132 | - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the | |
133 | "administrative" operations separately from the "printer | |
134 | control" operations so that it is easier to define a | |
135 | group of users that are "printer operators". | |
136 | - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file | |
137 | from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory. | |
138 | - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS. | |
139 | - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos | |
140 | usernames since those usernames typically do not appear in | |
141 | the group membership lists used by CUPS. | |

157 | when processing the "none" state reason. | |
bc44d920 | 158 | - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing |
159 | a side-channel command. | |
160 | - The scheduler did not prevent remote queues from being | |
161 | shared/published. | |
162 | - The scheduler did not remove the temporary request file on | |
163 | authentication errors. | |
164 | - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() did not handle "scheme:" schemes or | |
165 | "file" URLs. | |
166 | - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() was not exported on Mac OS X. | |

179 | over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277) | |

182 | default (STR #2164) | |

184 | file to use the default authentication defined by the | |
185 | DefaultAuthType directive. | |
186 | - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line | |
187 | when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows | |
188 | the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434) | |
189 | - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to | |
190 | the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777) | |

192 | localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a | |
193 | driver. | |
194 | - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with | |
195 | a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was | |

197 | supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues. | |
09a101d6 | 198 | - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a |

211 | - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values | |
3d8365b8 | 212 | based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR |
213 | #2334, STR #2383) | |
b94498cf | 214 | - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes |

224 | which reports the version of CUPS that is running | |
225 | (STR #2240) | |
226 | - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM | |
227 | if no data has been written yet (STR #2103) | |
228 | - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP | |
229 | backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead, | |
230 | it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100 | |
231 | (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing | |
232 | (STR #2035, STR #2354) | |
233 | - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as | |
234 | needed (STR #2353) | |
235 | - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names | |
236 | to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357) | |
237 | - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups | |
238 | of array elements (STR #2358) | |
239 | - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358) | |
323c5de1 | 240 | - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters, |
241 | icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326) | |

244 | Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page | |
245 | with the list of printers. | |
246 | - The web interface now supports setting the banner and | |
247 | policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238) | |
248 | - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel | |
249 | data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325) | |

251 | file (STR #1871) | |
