571
572 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
573
574 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions

630 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
631 HTTP requests.
632 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
633 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
634 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

637 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
638 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

675 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
676 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)

684 file to use the default authentication defined by the
685 DefaultAuthType directive.

687 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
688 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
689 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
690 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
691 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
692 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
693 driver.
694 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
695 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
696 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
697 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
698 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a

715 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
716 (STR #2334)
717 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
718 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
719 #2383)

721 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
722 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
723 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
724 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
725 (STR #2240)
726 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
727 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
728 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP

741 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)

743 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
744 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
745 with the list of printers.
746 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
747 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)

759 - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
760 from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)

771 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
772 #2239)
773 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a

808 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
809 strings (STR #1969)
810 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
