   8           device ID string on Linux (STR #2553)
   9         - The IPP backend now checks the job status at
  10           variable intervals (from 1 to 10 seconds) instead
  11           of every 10 seconds for faster remote printing
  12           (STR #2548)
  13         - "lpr -p" and "lpr -l" did not work (STR #2544)

  17         - The scheduler did not reject requests with charsets
  18           other than US-ASCII or UTF-8, and the CUPS API
  19           incorrectly passed the locale charset to the scheduler

  22         - The AppleTalk backend incorrectly added a scheme
  23           listing when AppleTalk was disabled or no printers
  24           were found.
  25         - The PostScript filter generated N^2 copies when the

  29           job that was held.
  30         - The scheduler did not update the printcap file after
  31           removing stale remote queues.
  32         - The cupsd.conf man page incorrectly referenced
  33           "AuthType Kerberos" instead of "AuthType Negotiate".

  57           orientation (STR #2513)
  58         - The scheduler no longer writes the printcap file for
  59           every remote printer update (STR #2512)

  79           resolutions.
  80         - Fixed many problems in the various translations and added
  81           a new "checkpo" utility to validate them.

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

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

 118 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
 119
 120         - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
 121           gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
 122           heavy CPU usage.
 123         - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
 124           (STR #2470)
 125         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 126           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
 127           cupsd.conf file.
 128         - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
 129           options (STR #1846)

 137           the job was canceled or stopped.
 138         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 139           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 140           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 141           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 142         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
 143

 153 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc1
 154
 155         - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
 156         - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
 157         - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
 158           cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
 159           jobs are left in the queue.
 160         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 161           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 162           level (STR #2458)
 163         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 164           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
 165         - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list

 172         - Moving a job that was printing did not stop the job on the
 173           original printer (STR #2262)
 174         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 175         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 176           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 177           HTTP requests.
 178         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 179           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 180           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 181           group of users that are "printer operators".
 182         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 183           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 184         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 185         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

 195           (STR #2450)
 196         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 197           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 198         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 199           work.
 200         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 201           with a sectorder file.
 202         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 203           when processing the "none" state reason.
 204         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 205           a side-channel command.

 215 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 216
 217         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 218         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 219           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 220         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 221         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 222           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 223         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 224         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 225           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 226         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 227           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 228           default (STR #2164)
 229         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 230           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 231           DefaultAuthType directive.
 232         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 233           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 234           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 235         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 236           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 237         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 238           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 239           driver.
 240         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 241           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 242           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 243           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 244         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 245           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 246           #1711)
 247         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 248           remote printers (STR #2384)
 249         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 250           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.

 252           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 253         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 254           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 255         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 256           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 257         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 258           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 259           #2334, STR #2383)
 260         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 261           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 262           (STR #2334)
 263         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 264           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 265           #2383)
 266         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 267           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 268           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 269         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 270           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 271           (STR #2240)
 272         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 273           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 274         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 275           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 276           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 277           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 278           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 279         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 280           needed (STR #2353)
 281         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 282           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 283         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 284           of array elements (STR #2358)
 285         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 286         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 287           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 288         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 289           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 290           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 291           with the list of printers.
 292         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 293           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 294         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 295           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 296         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 297           file (STR #1871)
 298         - Printers that use JCL options are now exported to Samba

 303           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 304         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
 305         - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
 306           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 307         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 308           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 309           #1933)
 310         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 311           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 312         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 313           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 314         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 315           (STR #1171)
 316         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the
 317           web interface now return back to the original page (STR
 318           #2239)
 319         - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
 320           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 321         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 322           any address (STR #2008)
 323         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 324           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 325         - The notify-events-default and
 326           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
