436 | (STR #1547) | |
437 | - The mimeDelete() function freed the types before the | |
438 | filters, but the filters needed the type data (STR #1558) | |

759 | - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide | |
760 | searchable help. | |

763 | startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new | |
764 | printers to be seen without restarting the server, | |
765 | however it limits the amount of device URI checking | |
766 | that can be done (basically now the scheduler only | |
767 | requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend) | |

779 | defined (STR #1220) | |
780 | - The scheduler's denial-of-service checks did not work | |
781 | properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134) | |
782 | - The lp and lpr commands did not error out properly when | |
783 | they were unable to write to a temporary file (STR | |

785 | - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific | |
786 | comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085) | |
787 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer | |
788 | interface (STR #936) | |
789 | - The web interface now operates exclusively with the | |

791 | and header information to the web browser (STR #919, | |
792 | STR #1007) | |
793 | - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web | |
794 | interface so that you can set the list of allowed or | |
795 | denied users/groups for a printer or class. | |

797 | has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in | |
798 | URIs (STR #917, STR #1202) | |
799 | - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and | |
800 | support for it to the texttops filter so that you can | |
801 | pretty print plain text files without the C/C++ | |
802 | keywords being highlighted. | |
803 | - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR | |
804 | #1226) | |
805 | - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor | |
806 | directives followed by a tab properly. | |
807 | - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG | |
808 | commands to show the current job on the printer's | |
809 | display (STR #1218) | |
810 | - Local authentication certificates are now stored in | |
811 | /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of | |
812 | /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211) | |
813 | - Backends now use "&" to separate options in device | |
814 | URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR | |
815 | #842) | |
816 | - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo | |
817 | format on systems that support device ID queries. | |
818 | - Forced classification markings did not work when the | |
819 | job-sheets parameters were "none,none". | |
820 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed, | |
821 | even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR | |

824 | without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives. | |

863 | - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf | |

870 | - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the | |
871 | administrator to add printer URI options to the browse | |
872 | URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR #732) | |
873 | - Added BrowseRemoteOptions directive to allow the | |
874 | administrator to add standard URI options to the | |
875 | remote printer URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR | |
876 | #732) | |
877 | - Now put "-I.." compiler option in front of all others | |
878 | to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before | |

891 | - Updated the printer test page with a better color | |
892 | wheel and a separate grayscale ramp. | |
893 | - A single backend process is now run to send all print | |
894 | data for a job. | |
