 126         - If a remote printer stopped while a job was being sent, the
 127           local queue would also get stopped and the job re-queued,
 128           resulting in duplicate prints in some cases.

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

 158 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
 159
 160         - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
 161           gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
 162           heavy CPU usage.
 163         - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
 164           (STR #2470)
 165         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 166           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
 167           cupsd.conf file.
 168         - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
 169           options (STR #1846)
 170         - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status
 171           when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.

 177           the job was canceled or stopped.
 178         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 179           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 180           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 181           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 182         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
 183

 194
 195         - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
 196         - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
 197         - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
 198           cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
 199           jobs are left in the queue.
 200         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 201           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 202           level (STR #2458)
 203         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 204           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
 205         - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list

 212         - Moving a job that was printing did not stop the job on the
 213           original printer (STR #2262)
 214         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 215         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 216           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 217           HTTP requests.
 218         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 219           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 220           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 221           group of users that are "printer operators".
 222         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 223           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 224         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 225         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

 227           the group membership lists used by CUPS.
 228         - cupsMarkOptions() could (incorrectly) leave multiple option
 229           choices marked.

 233           (STR #2455)
 234         - The default cupsd.conf file had typos and old operation names
 235           (STR #2450)
 236         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 237           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 238         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 239           work.
 240         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 241           with a sectorder file.
 242         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 243           when processing the "none" state reason.
 244         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 245           a side-channel command.

 255 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 256
 257         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 258         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 259           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 260         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 261         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 262           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 263         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 264         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 265           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 266         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 267           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 268           default (STR #2164)
 269         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 270           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 271           DefaultAuthType directive.
 272         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 273           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 274           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 275         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 276           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 277         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 278           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 279           driver.
 280         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 281           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 282           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 283           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 284         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 285           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 286           #1711)
 287         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 288           remote printers (STR #2384)
 289         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 290           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 291         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
 292           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 293         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 294           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 295         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 296           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 297         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 298           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 299           #2334, STR #2383)
 300         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 301           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 302           (STR #2334)
 303         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 304           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 305           #2383)
 306         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 307           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 308           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 309         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 310           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 311           (STR #2240)
 312         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 313           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 314         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 315           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 316           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 317           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 318           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 319         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 320           needed (STR #2353)
 321         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 322           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 323         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 324           of array elements (STR #2358)
 325         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 326         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 327           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 328         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 329           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 330           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 331           with the list of printers.
 332         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 333           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
