502 level (STR #2458)
503 - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
504 authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
505 - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list
506 of installed PPDs.
507 - Added 6" and 8" wide label sizes for the Zebra ZPL Label
508 Printer driver (STR #2442)
509 - The cupsaddsmb program and web interface now support

517 HTTP requests.
518 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
519 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
520 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

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

529 choices marked.
530 - Backends could (incorrectly) run as root during discovery

545 a side-channel command.
546 - The scheduler did not prevent remote queues from being
547 shared/published.

549 authentication errors.
550 - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() did not handle "scheme:" schemes or
551 "file" URLs.

555 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
556
557 - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
558 - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
559 STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
560 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
561 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
562 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
563 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
564 - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
565 over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
566 - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
567 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
568 default (STR #2164)
569 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
570 file to use the default authentication defined by the
571 DefaultAuthType directive.
572 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
573 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
574 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
575 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
576 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
577 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
578 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
579 driver.
580 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
581 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
582 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
583 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
584 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
585 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
586 #1711)
587 - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
588 remote printers (STR #2384)
589 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
590 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
591 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
592 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
593 - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
594 and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
595 - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
596 available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
597 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
598 based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
599 #2334, STR #2383)
600 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
601 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
602 (STR #2334)
603 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
604 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
605 #2383)
606 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
607 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
608 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
609 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
610 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
611 (STR #2240)
612 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
613 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
614 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
615 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
616 it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
617 (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
618 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
619 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as

633 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)

658 #2239)
659 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
660 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
661 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
