715 (STR #1258)
716 - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide
717 searchable help.
718 - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query
719 doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous

743 comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085)
744 - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer
745 interface (STR #936)
746 - The web interface now operates exclusively with the
747 UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set
748 and header information to the web browser (STR #919,
749 STR #1007)
750 - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web
751 interface so that you can set the list of allowed or
752 denied users/groups for a printer or class.
753 - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it
754 has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in
755 URIs (STR #917, STR #1202)
756 - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and
757 support for it to the texttops filter so that you can

768 /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of
769 /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211)

771 URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR
772 #842)
773 - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo
774 format on systems that support device ID queries.
775 - Forced classification markings did not work when the
776 job-sheets parameters were "none,none".
777 - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed,
778 even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR
779 #801)
780 - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients
781 without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives.
782 - The CUPS API and scheduler no longer support SSLv2-
783 encrypted connections.
784 - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the
785 CUPS driver for Windows.

787 ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies
788 when it was busy (STR #1184)
789 - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when
790 opening files in append mode (STR #990)
791 - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially

795 fonts (STR #1093)
796 - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the
797 middle of an IPP request (STR #1153)

799 if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in
800 the same input cycle (STR #1157)
801 - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to
802 infinite recursion.
803 - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the
804 run-length encoding and support more options.
805 - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well
806 as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049)
807 - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under
808 certain circumstances (STR #1068)
809 - The USB backend termination signal code was inverted
810 (STR #1046)
811 - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be
812 consistent.
813 - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP
814 filters to setup the raster page header from

838 interfaces.
839 - Now support custom attributes and extended options in
840 PPD files.
841 - Now provide functions to save PPD files.
842 - New policy mechanism allows per-operation and
843 per-printer control over what users and groups are
844 allowed to do various IPP operations.
