521 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
522
523 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
524 gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
525 heavy CPU usage.
526 - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
527 (STR #2470)
528 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
529 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
530 cupsd.conf file.
531 - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
532 options (STR #1846)
533 - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status
534 when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.

546
547

557
558 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
559 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
560 - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
561 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing

563 - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
564 failures, and the job file types at the default log
565 level (STR #2458)

578 - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
579 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
580 HTTP requests.
581 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
582 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
583 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

585 - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
586 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
587 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

623 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
624 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
625 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
626 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

630 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
631 default (STR #2164)
632 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
633 file to use the default authentication defined by the
634 DefaultAuthType directive.
635 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
636 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
637 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
638 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
639 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
640 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
641 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
642 driver.
643 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
644 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
645 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
646 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
647 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
648 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR

662 #2334, STR #2383)
663 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
664 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
665 (STR #2334)
666 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
667 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
668 #2383)
669 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
670 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
671 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
672 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
673 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
674 (STR #2240)
675 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
676 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
677 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
678 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

681 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
682 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
683 needed (STR #2353)
684 - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
685 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)

690 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
691 - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
692 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
693 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
694 with the list of printers.
695 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
696 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
697 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel

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

720 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
721 #2239)
722 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
723 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
724 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
725 any address (STR #2008)
726 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
727 Internet" check box (STR #1897)

750 functions to get the current index and insertion
751 positions of an array.

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