493 - ppdLocalize() did not work for country-specific localizations.

495
496 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
497
498 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
499 gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
500 heavy CPU usage.
501 - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
502 (STR #2470)
503 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
504 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
505 cupsd.conf file.
506 - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
507 options (STR #1846)
508 - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status
509 when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.
510 - The scheduler was not looking in the correct directories
511 for LSB PPD files (STR #2464)
512 - Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript
513 (STR #2463)
514 - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when
515 the job was canceled or stopped.
516 - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
517 printing. Note that this requires a recent version of
518 MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
519 function or Heimdal Kerberos.
520 - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
521
522

532
533 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
534 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
535 - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
536 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
537 jobs are left in the queue.
538 - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
539 failures, and the job file types at the default log
540 level (STR #2458)
541 - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
542 authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
543 - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list
544 of installed PPDs.

552 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
553 - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
554 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
555 HTTP requests.
556 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
557 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
558 control" operations so that it is easier to define a
559 group of users that are "printer operators".
560 - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
561 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
562 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
563 - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

567 choices marked.
568 - Backends could (incorrectly) run as root during discovery
569 (STR #2454)
570 - Avahi is now supported for DNS-SD (Bonjour) printer sharing
571 (STR #2455)
572 - The default cupsd.conf file had typos and old operation names
573 (STR #2450)
574 - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
575 7-pass US DoD algorithm.
576 - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
577 work.
578 - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
579 with a sectorder file.

581 when processing the "none" state reason.

587 authentication errors.

598 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
599 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
600 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
601 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

603 over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
604 - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
605 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
606 default (STR #2164)
607 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
608 file to use the default authentication defined by the
609 DefaultAuthType directive.
610 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
611 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
612 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
613 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
614 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
615 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
616 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
617 driver.
618 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
619 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
620 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
621 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
622 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
623 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR

627 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
628 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
629 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
630 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)

636 based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
637 #2334, STR #2383)
638 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
639 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
640 (STR #2334)
641 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
642 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
643 #2383)
644 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
645 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
646 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
647 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
648 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
649 (STR #2240)
650 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
651 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
652 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
653 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

655 (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
656 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
657 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
658 needed (STR #2353)
659 - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
660 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)

665 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
666 - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
667 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
668 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
669 with the list of printers.
670 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
671 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
672 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel

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

695 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
696 #2239)
697 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
698 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
699 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
700 any address (STR #2008)
701 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
702 Internet" check box (STR #1897)

723 instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
724 - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
725 functions to get the current index and insertion
726 positions of an array.

731 - Added support for cupsPJLCharset attribute in PPD files
732 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
733 strings (STR #1969)
734 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
