363 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
364 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer

406 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
407 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
408 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

412 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
413 default (STR #2164)

415 file to use the default authentication defined by the
416 DefaultAuthType directive.

419 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
420 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
421 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
422 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
423 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
424 driver.
425 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
426 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
427 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
428 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
429 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a

446 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
447 (STR #2334)
448 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
449 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
450 #2383)

452 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
453 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)

455 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
456 (STR #2240)
457 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
458 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
459 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP

463 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
464 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as

472 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)

474 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
475 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
476 with the list of printers.
477 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
478 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
479 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel

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