 236           (STR #2470)
 237         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 238           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the

 250         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 251           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 252           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 253           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 254         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.

 271           jobs are left in the queue.
 272         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 273           failures, and the job file types at the default log

 289           HTTP requests.
 290         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 291           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 292           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 293           group of users that are "printer operators".

 310         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 311           work.

 315           when processing the "none" state reason.

 340           default (STR #2164)
 341         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 342           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 343           DefaultAuthType directive.
 344         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 345           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 346           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 347         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 348           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 349         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 350           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 351           driver.
 352         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 353           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 354           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 355           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 356         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 357           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 358           #1711)
 359         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 360           remote printers (STR #2384)
 361         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 362           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.

 364           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 365         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 366           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 367         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 368           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 369         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 370           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 371           #2334, STR #2383)
 372         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 373           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 374           (STR #2334)
 375         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 376           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 377           #2383)
 378         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 379           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 380           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 381         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 382           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 383           (STR #2240)
 384         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 385           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 386         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 387           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 388           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 389           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 390           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 391         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 392           needed (STR #2353)
 393         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 394           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 395         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 396           of array elements (STR #2358)
 397         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 398         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 399           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 400         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 401           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 402           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 403           with the list of printers.
 404         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 405           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 406         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 407           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 408         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 409           file (STR #1871)

 415           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 416         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)

 418           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 419         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 420           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 421           #1933)
 422         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 423           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 424         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 425           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 426         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 427           (STR #1171)
 428         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the
 429           web interface now return back to the original page (STR
 430           #2239)
 431         - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
 432           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 433         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 434           any address (STR #2008)
 435         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 436           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 437         - The notify-events-default and
 438           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
 439           (STR #1671)

 441           the "printer-defaults" attribute group is requested (STR
 442           #1923)
 443         - Added support for Linux "relro" linker option (STR #1614)
 444         - CUPS now validates the number-up option value (STR #1329)

 456         - The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue
 457           instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
 458         - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
 459           functions to get the current index and insertion
 460           positions of an array.
 461         - Added a new --with-max-copies configure option (STR
 462           #2090)
