 297           (STR #2470)
 298         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the

 339           of installed PPDs.
 340         - Added 6" and 8" wide label sizes for the Zebra ZPL Label
 341           Printer driver (STR #2442)

 343           exporting of 64-bit Windows drivers, when available
 344           (STR #2439)
 345         - Moving a job that was printing did not stop the job on the
 346           original printer (STR #2262)
 347         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 348         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 349           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 350           HTTP requests.
 351         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 352           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 353           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 354           group of users that are "printer operators".
 355         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 356           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 357         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 358         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos
 359           usernames since those usernames typically do not appear in
 360           the group membership lists used by CUPS.
 361         - cupsMarkOptions() could (incorrectly) leave multiple option
 362           choices marked.

 364           (STR #2454)
 365         - Avahi is now supported for DNS-SD (Bonjour) printer sharing
 366           (STR #2455)
 367         - The default cupsd.conf file had typos and old operation names
 368           (STR #2450)
 369         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 370           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 371         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 372           work.
 373         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 374           with a sectorder file.
 375         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 376           when processing the "none" state reason.
 377         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 378           a side-channel command.

 384           "file" URLs.
 385         - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() was not exported on Mac OS X.

 388 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 389
 390         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 391         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 392           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 393         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 394         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 395           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 396         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 397         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 398           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 399         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 400           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 401           default (STR #2164)
 402         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 403           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 404           DefaultAuthType directive.
 405         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 406           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 407           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 408         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 409           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 410         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 411           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 412           driver.
 413         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 414           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 415           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 416           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 417         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 418           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 419           #1711)
 420         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 421           remote printers (STR #2384)
 422         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 423           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 424         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
 425           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 426         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 427           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 428         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 429           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 430         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 431           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 432           #2334, STR #2383)
 433         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 434           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 435           (STR #2334)
 436         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 437           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 438           #2383)
 439         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 440           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 441           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 442         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 443           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 444           (STR #2240)
 445         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 446           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 447         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 448           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 449           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 450           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 451           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 452         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 453           needed (STR #2353)
 454         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 455           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 456         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 457           of array elements (STR #2358)
 458         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 459         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 460           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 461         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 462           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 463           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 464           with the list of printers.
 465         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 466           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 467         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 468           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 469         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 470           file (STR #1871)

 476           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 477         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
 478         - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
 479           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 480         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 481           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 482           #1933)
 483         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 484           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 485         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 486           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 487         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 488           (STR #1171)
 489         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the

 491           #2239)
 492         - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
 493           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 494         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 495           any address (STR #2008)
 496         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 497           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 498         - The notify-events-default and
 499           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
 500           (STR #1671)

 502           the "printer-defaults" attribute group is requested (STR
 503           #1923)
 504         - Added support for Linux "relro" linker option (STR #1614)
 505         - CUPS now validates the number-up option value (STR #1329)

 517         - The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue
 518           instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
 519         - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
 520           functions to get the current index and insertion
 521           positions of an array.
 522         - Added a new --with-max-copies configure option (STR
 523           #2090)
