 324           variable intervals (from 1 to 10 seconds) instead
 325           of every 10 seconds for faster remote printing
 326           (STR #2548)
 327         - "lpr -p" and "lpr -l" did not work (STR #2544)
 328         - Compilation failed when a previous version of CUPS
 329           was installed and was included in the SSL include
 330           path (STR #2538)
 331         - The scheduler did not reject requests with charsets
 332           other than US-ASCII or UTF-8, and the CUPS API
 333           incorrectly passed the locale charset to the scheduler
 334           instead of UTF-8 (STR #2537)
 335         - cups-deviced did not filter out duplicate devices.
 336         - The AppleTalk backend incorrectly added a scheme
 337           listing when AppleTalk was disabled or no printers
 338           were found.
 339         - The PostScript filter generated N^2 copies when the
 340           printer supported collated copies and user requested
 341           reverse-order output.
 342         - The scheduler did not reprint all of the files in a
 343           job that was held.
 344         - The scheduler did not update the printcap file after
 345           removing stale remote queues.
 346         - The cupsd.conf man page incorrectly referenced
 347           "AuthType Kerberos" instead of "AuthType Negotiate".

 363
 364 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.2
 365

 371           orientation (STR #2513)
 372         - The scheduler no longer writes the printcap file for
 373           every remote printer update (STR #2512)

 393           resolutions.
 394         - Fixed many problems in the various translations and added
 395           a new "checkpo" utility to validate them.

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

 419         - The scheduler makefile contained a typo (STR #2483)
 420         - The TBCP and BCP port monitors did not handle the trailing

 432 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
 433
 434         - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
 435           gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
 436           heavy CPU usage.
 437         - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
 438           (STR #2470)
 439         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 440           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
 441           cupsd.conf file.
 442         - The on-line help did not describe many common printing

 451           the job was canceled or stopped.
 452         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 453           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 454           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 455           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 456         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
 457

 466
 467 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc1
 468
 469         - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
 470         - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
 471         - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
 472           cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
 473           jobs are left in the queue.
 474         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 475           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 476           level (STR #2458)
 477         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 478           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
 479         - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list
 480           of installed PPDs.

 485           (STR #2439)
 486         - Moving a job that was printing did not stop the job on the
 487           original printer (STR #2262)
 488         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 489         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 490           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 491           HTTP requests.
 492         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 493           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 494           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 495           group of users that are "printer operators".
 496         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 497           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 498         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 499         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

 509           (STR #2450)
 510         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 511           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 512         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 513           work.
 514         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 515           with a sectorder file.
 516         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 517           when processing the "none" state reason.

 529 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 530
 531         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 532         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 533           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 534         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 535         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 536           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 537         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 538         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 539           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 540         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 541           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 542           default (STR #2164)
 543         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 544           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 545           DefaultAuthType directive.
 546         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 547           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 548           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 549         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 550           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 551         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 552           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 553           driver.
 554         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 555           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 556           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 557           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 558         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 559           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 560           #1711)
 561         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 562           remote printers (STR #2384)
 563         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 564           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.

 566           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 567         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 568           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 569         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 570           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 571         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 572           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 573           #2334, STR #2383)
 574         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 575           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 576           (STR #2334)
 577         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 578           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 579           #2383)
 580         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 581           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 582           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 583         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 584           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 585           (STR #2240)
 586         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 587           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 588         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 589           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 590           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 591           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 592           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 593         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 594           needed (STR #2353)

 598           of array elements (STR #2358)
 599         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 600         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 601           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 602         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 603           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 604           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 605           with the list of printers.
 606         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 607           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 608         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 609           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 610         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 611           file (STR #1871)

 617           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 618         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
 619         - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
 620           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 621         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 622           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 623           #1933)
 624         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 625           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 626         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 627           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 628         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 629           (STR #1171)
 630         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the

 634           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 635         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 636           any address (STR #2008)
 637         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 638           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 639         - The notify-events-default and
 640           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set

 643           the "printer-defaults" attribute group is requested (STR
 644           #1923)
 645         - Added support for Linux "relro" linker option (STR #1614)
 646         - CUPS now validates the number-up option value (STR #1329)
