906 available" error as an out-of-paper condition (STR
907 #1225)
908 - The "lpc" command now supports the "status all" command
909 (STR #1004)
910 - ippReadIO() did not read collections properly (STR

947 (STR #1258)
948 - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide
949 searchable help.
950 - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query
951 doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous

953 printers to be seen without restarting the server,
954 however it limits the amount of device URI checking
955 that can be done (basically now the scheduler only

973 #1129)
974 - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific
975 comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085)
976 - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer
977 interface (STR #936)
978 - The web interface now operates exclusively with the
979 UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set

1006 format on systems that support device ID queries.
1007 - Forced classification markings did not work when the

1013 without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives.

1020 when it was busy (STR #1184)
1021 - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when
1022 opening files in append mode (STR #990)
1023 - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially

1034 infinite recursion.
1035 - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the
1036 run-length encoding and support more options.
1037 - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well
1038 as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049)
1039 - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under
1040 certain circumstances (STR #1068)
1041 - The USB backend termination signal code was inverted
1042 (STR #1046)
1043 - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be
1044 consistent.
1045 - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP
1046 filters to setup the raster page header from
1047 PostScript commands in a PPD file.
1048 - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit
1049 to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the
1050 server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully
1051 (STR #793)

1063 administrator to add standard URI options to the
1064 remote printer URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR
1065 #732)
1066 - Now put "-I.." compiler option in front of all others
1067 to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before
1068 installed headers (STR #437)
1069 - New cupsLangPrintf() and cupsLangPuts() for localized
1070 interfaces.
1071 - Now support custom attributes and extended options in
