495 (STR #2470)
496 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
497 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
498 cupsd.conf file.
499 - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
500 options (STR #1846)

525
526 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
527 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
528 - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
529 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing

532 failures, and the job file types at the default log
533 level (STR #2458)

546 - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
547 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
548 HTTP requests.
549 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
550 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
551 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

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

591 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
592 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
593 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
594 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

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

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

630 #2334, STR #2383)
631 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
632 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
633 (STR #2334)
634 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
635 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
636 #2383)
637 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
638 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
639 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
640 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
641 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
642 (STR #2240)
643 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
644 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
645 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
646 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

648 (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
649 (STR #2035, STR #2354)
650 - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
651 needed (STR #2353)

653 to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)

658 icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
659 - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
660 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
661 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
662 with the list of printers.
663 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
664 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
665 - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
666 data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)

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

682 cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
683 - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
684 for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)

688 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
689 #2239)
690 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
691 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
692 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
693 any address (STR #2008)
694 - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
695 Internet" check box (STR #1897)
696 - The notify-events-default and
697 notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
698 (STR #1671)

716 instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
717 - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
718 functions to get the current index and insertion
719 positions of an array.

724 - Added support for cupsPJLCharset attribute in PPD files
725 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
726 strings (STR #1969)
727 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
