511 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
512
513 - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
514 - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
515 STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
516 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
517 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
518 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
519 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
520 - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
521 over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
522 - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
523 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
524 default (STR #2164)
525 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
526 file to use the default authentication defined by the
527 DefaultAuthType directive.
528 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
529 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
530 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
531 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
532 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
533 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
534 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
535 driver.
536 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
537 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
538 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
539 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
540 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
541 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
542 #1711)
543 - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
544 remote printers (STR #2384)
545 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
546 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
547 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
548 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
549 - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
550 and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
551 - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
552 available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
553 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
554 based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
555 #2334, STR #2383)
556 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
557 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
558 (STR #2334)
559 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
560 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
561 #2383)
562 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
563 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
564 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
565 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
566 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
567 (STR #2240)
568 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
569 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
570 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
571 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
572 it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
573 (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
574 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
575 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
576 needed (STR #2353)
577 - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
578 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
579 - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
580 of array elements (STR #2358)
581 - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)

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

586 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
587 with the list of printers.
588 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
589 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
590 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
591 data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
592 - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
593 file (STR #1871)
594 - Printers that use JCL options are now exported to Samba
595 correctly (STR #1985)

599 printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)

601 - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
602 from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
603 - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
604 device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
605 #1933)
606 - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
607 cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
608 - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory

613 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
614 #2239)
615 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
616 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
617 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
618 any address (STR #2008)
619 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
620 Internet" check box (STR #1897)

638 for basic device control and information queries (STR

641 instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
642 - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
643 functions to get the current index and insertion
644 positions of an array.

650 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
651 strings (STR #1969)

653 to http-private.h; code that directly accesses the
