 338         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 339           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 340           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 341           group of users that are "printer operators".
 342         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 343           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 344         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 345         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos
 346           usernames since those usernames typically do not appear in
 347           the group membership lists used by CUPS.
 348         - cupsMarkOptions() could (incorrectly) leave multiple option
 349           choices marked.
 350         - Backends could (incorrectly) run as root during discovery
 351           (STR #2454)
 352         - Avahi is now supported for DNS-SD (Bonjour) printer sharing
 353           (STR #2455)
 354         - The default cupsd.conf file had typos and old operation names
 355           (STR #2450)
 356         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 357           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 358         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 359           work.
 360         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 361           with a sectorder file.
 362         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 363           when processing the "none" state reason.
 364         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 365           a side-channel command.
 366         - The scheduler did not prevent remote queues from being
 367           shared/published.
 368         - The scheduler did not remove the temporary request file on
 369           authentication errors.
 370         - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() did not handle "scheme:" schemes or
 371           "file" URLs.
 372         - ppdLocalizeIPPReason() was not exported on Mac OS X.

 375 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 376
 377         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 378         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 379           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 380         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 381         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 382           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 383         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 384         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 385           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 386         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 387           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 388           default (STR #2164)
 389         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 390           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 391           DefaultAuthType directive.
 392         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 393           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 394           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 395         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 396           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 397         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 398           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 399           driver.
 400         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 401           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 402           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 403           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 404         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 405           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 406           #1711)
 407         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 408           remote printers (STR #2384)
 409         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 410           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 411         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
 412           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 413         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 414           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 415         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 416           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 417         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 418           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 419           #2334, STR #2383)
 420         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 421           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 422           (STR #2334)
 423         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 424           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 425           #2383)
 426         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 427           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 428           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 429         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 430           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 431           (STR #2240)
 432         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 433           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 434         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 435           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 436           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 437           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 438           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 439         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 440           needed (STR #2353)
 441         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 442           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 443         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 444           of array elements (STR #2358)
 445         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 446         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 447           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 448         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 449           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 450           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 451           with the list of printers.
 452         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 453           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 454         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 455           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 456         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 457           file (STR #1871)

 463           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 464         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
 465         - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
 466           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 467         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 468           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 469           #1933)
 470         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 471           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 472         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 473           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 474         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 475           (STR #1171)
 476         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the

 478           #2239)
 479         - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
 480           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 481         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 482           any address (STR #2008)
 483         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 484           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 485         - The notify-events-default and
 486           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
 487           (STR #1671)

 489           the "printer-defaults" attribute group is requested (STR
 490           #1923)
 491         - Added support for Linux "relro" linker option (STR #1614)
 492         - CUPS now validates the number-up option value (STR #1329)

 504         - The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue
 505           instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
 506         - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
 507           functions to get the current index and insertion
 508           positions of an array.
 509         - Added a new --with-max-copies configure option (STR
 510           #2090)
