202 | "/tmp/cups-$USER" instead of "/tmp/$USER" (STR #981) | |
203 | - All backends now abort on error when printing a job to | |
204 | a class - this allows the next printer in the class to | |
205 | print the job (STR #1084) | |
206 | - The scheduler now verifies that a printer supports | |
207 | Letter or A4 media sizes before setting them as the | |

212 | is disconnected or turned off (STR #1267) | |
213 | - Added new httpGetHostname() function to CUPS API, and | |

229 | certain broken PPD files (STR #1268) | |
230 | - Dramatically reduced the overhead of implicit classes. | |
231 | - Added new cupsDir*() functions to CUPS API. | |
232 | - Printers can now be published individually for sharing. | |
233 | - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's startup signalling code | |
234 | which caused cupsd to send the SIGUSR1 signal to the | |
235 | init process instead of the original parent process | |
236 | (STR #1258) | |
237 | - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide | |
238 | searchable help. | |
239 | - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query | |
240 | doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous | |
241 | startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new | |
242 | printers to be seen without restarting the server, | |
243 | however it limits the amount of device URI checking | |
244 | that can be done (basically now the scheduler only | |
245 | requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend) | |
246 | - Added new printer auto-detection, server configuration, | |
247 | and log file viewing to the administration web page. | |
248 | - Added new "set allowed users" web interface to set the | |
249 | list of allowed users for a printer or class. | |
250 | - The scheduler, command-line, and web interfaces now | |
251 | limit the list of printers and classes to those | |
252 | accessible by a user. | |

257 | defined (STR #1220) | |
258 | - The scheduler's denial-of-service checks did not work | |
259 | properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134) | |
260 | - The lp and lpr commands did not error out properly when | |
261 | they were unable to write to a temporary file (STR | |
262 | #1129) | |
263 | - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific | |
264 | comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085) | |
265 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer | |
266 | interface (STR #936) | |
267 | - The web interface now operates exclusively with the | |
268 | UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set | |
269 | and header information to the web browser (STR #919, | |
270 | STR #1007) | |
271 | - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web | |
272 | interface so that you can set the list of allowed or | |
273 | denied users/groups for a printer or class. | |
274 | - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it | |
275 | has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in | |
276 | URIs (STR #917, STR #1202) | |
277 | - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and | |
278 | support for it to the texttops filter so that you can | |
279 | pretty print plain text files without the C/C++ | |
280 | keywords being highlighted. | |
281 | - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR | |
282 | #1226) | |
283 | - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor | |
284 | directives followed by a tab properly. | |
285 | - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG | |
286 | commands to show the current job on the printer's | |
287 | display (STR #1218) | |
288 | - Local authentication certificates are now stored in | |
289 | /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of | |
290 | /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211) | |
291 | - Backends now use "&" to separate options in device | |
292 | URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR | |
293 | #842) | |
294 | - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo | |
295 | format on systems that support device ID queries. | |
296 | - Forced classification markings did not work when the | |
297 | job-sheets parameters were "none,none". | |
298 | - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed, | |
299 | even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR | |
300 | #801) | |

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

304 | encrypted connections. | |
305 | - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the | |
306 | CUPS driver for Windows. | |
307 | - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which | |
308 | ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies | |
309 | when it was busy (STR #1184) | |
310 | - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when | |
311 | opening files in append mode (STR #990) | |
312 | - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially | |
313 | private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with | |
314 | other implementations with the same name. | |
315 | - The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded some Type1 | |
316 | fonts (STR #1093) | |
317 | - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the | |
318 | middle of an IPP request (STR #1153) | |
319 | - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status | |
320 | if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in | |
321 | the same input cycle (STR #1157) | |
322 | - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to | |
323 | infinite recursion. | |
324 | - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the | |
325 | run-length encoding and support more options. | |
326 | - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well | |
327 | as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049) | |

338 | to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the | |
339 | server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully | |
340 | (STR #793) | |
341 | - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf | |
342 | and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form | |
343 | "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket". | |
344 | - The "cancel -u user" command now works for ordinary | |
345 | users (STR #751) | |
346 | - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64) | |
347 | - Added domain socket support (STR #656) | |
