d2354e63 | 6 | - Documentation fixes (STR #3044, STR #3057) |
d1c13e16 MS |
7 | - The configure script incorrectly allowed Avahi to be used for DNS-SD |

9 | - The web interface and scheduler did not support URIs up to 1024 bytes | |
10 | in length (STR #3072) | |
11 | - Fixed pdftops issues with page sizes (STR #3063) | |
12 | - Fixed pdftops issues with Ghostscript (STR #3062) | |

14 | printers with no specified colorspace. | |
15 | - The scheduler incorrectly created an empty org.cups.printers.plist | |
16 | file on Mac OS X. | |
17 | - cupsGetPPD3() did not look for local PPDs in the right directory. | |
18 | - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and | |
19 | and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters. | |
d2354e63 MS |
20 | - The libusb-based USB backend did not work. |
21 | - The scheduler did not set the printer-commands attribute correctly | |
22 | for some PPDs. | |

c168a833 MS |
32 | - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047) |
33 | - cupsResolveConflicts() did not resolve using the default option | |
34 | choice in some cases due to the mirror UIConstraints that are | |
35 | present in most PPD files. | |
36 | - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities. | |
37 | - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end | |
38 | its jobs. | |
39 | - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly. | |
40 | - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels | |
41 | all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS | |
42 | printers. | |

44 | printer attributes when a job was canceled. | |
45 | - The scheduler did not clear the "connecting-to-device" reason keyword | |
