  87           variable intervals (from 1 to 10 seconds) instead

 128

 154         - The cupstestppd utility now tests for resolutions greater

 163         - If a remote printer stopped while a job was being sent, the
 164           local queue would also get stopped and the job re-queued,
 165           resulting in duplicate prints in some cases.
 166         - A few Apple-specific job options needed to be omitted when

 182         - The scheduler makefile contained a typo (STR #2483)
 183         - The TBCP and BCP port monitors did not handle the trailing
 184           CTRL-D in some PostScript output properly.

 191         - Updated the Spanish web interface localization (STR #2473)
 192         - ppdLocalize() did not work for country-specific localizations.
 193
 194
 195 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
 196
 197         - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
 198           gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
 199           heavy CPU usage.
 200         - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
 201           (STR #2470)
 202         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 203           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
 204           cupsd.conf file.
 205         - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
 206           options (STR #1846)

 213         - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when
 214           the job was canceled or stopped.
 215         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 216           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 217           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 218           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 219         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
 220

 230 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc1
 231
 232         - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
 233         - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
 234         - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
 235           cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
 236           jobs are left in the queue.
 237         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 238           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 239           level (STR #2458)
 240         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 241           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
 242         - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list

 250           original printer (STR #2262)
 251         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 252         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 253           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 254           HTTP requests.
 255         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 256           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 257           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 258           group of users that are "printer operators".
 259         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 260           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 261         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 262         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

 270           (STR #2455)

 272           (STR #2450)
 273         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 274           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 275         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 276           work.
 277         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 278           with a sectorder file.
 279         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 280           when processing the "none" state reason.
 281         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 282           a side-channel command.

 291
 292 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 293
 294         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 295         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 296           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 297         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 298         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 299           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 300         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 301         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 302           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 303         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 304           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 305           default (STR #2164)
 306         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 307           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 308           DefaultAuthType directive.
 309         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 310           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 311           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 312         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 313           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 314         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 315           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 316           driver.
 317         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 318           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 319           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 320           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 321         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 322           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 323           #1711)
 324         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 325           remote printers (STR #2384)
 326         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 327           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 328         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
 329           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 330         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 331           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 332         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 333           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 334         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 335           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 336           #2334, STR #2383)
 337         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
