501 printing a banner page.
502 - The new peer credential support did not compile on FreeBSD

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

546 (STR #2463)
547 - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when
548 the job was canceled or stopped.

552 function or Heimdal Kerberos.
553 - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
554
555

565
566 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
567 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
568 - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
569 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
570 jobs are left in the queue.
571 - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
572 failures, and the job file types at the default log
573 level (STR #2458)

586 - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
587 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
588 HTTP requests.
589 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
590 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
591 control" operations so that it is easier to define a
592 group of users that are "printer operators".
593 - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
594 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
595 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

620 authentication errors.

631 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
632 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
633 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
634 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

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

661 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
662 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
663 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)

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

689 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
690 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
691 needed (STR #2353)
692 - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
693 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)

698 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
699 - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
700 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
701 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
702 with the list of printers.
703 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
704 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
705 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel

708 file (STR #1871)
709 - Printers that use JCL options are now exported to Samba
710 correctly (STR #1985)

714 printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
715 - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
716 - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
717 from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)

722 cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
723 - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
724 for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)

727 - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the
728 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
729 #2239)
730 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
731 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
732 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
733 any address (STR #2008)
734 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
735 Internet" check box (STR #1897)

737 notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
738 (STR #1671)

756 instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
757 - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
758 functions to get the current index and insertion
759 positions of an array.

765 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
766 strings (STR #1969)
767 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
