501
502 - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
503 - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.

505 cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
506 jobs are left in the queue.
507 - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
508 failures, and the job file types at the default log
509 level (STR #2458)

511 authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)

513 of installed PPDs.
514 - Added 6" and 8" wide label sizes for the Zebra ZPL Label
515 Printer driver (STR #2442)
516 - The cupsaddsmb program and web interface now support

524 HTTP requests.
525 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
526 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
527 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

529 - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
530 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
531 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
532 - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

536 choices marked.
537 - Backends could (incorrectly) run as root during discovery

544 7-pass US DoD algorithm.
545 - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
546 work.

548 with a sectorder file.

550 when processing the "none" state reason.

552 a side-channel command.
553 - The scheduler did not prevent remote queues from being
554 shared/published.

556 authentication errors.

562 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
563
564 - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
565 - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
566 STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
567 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
568 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
569 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
570 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
571 - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
572 over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
573 - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
574 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
575 default (STR #2164)
576 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
577 file to use the default authentication defined by the
578 DefaultAuthType directive.
579 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
580 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
581 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
582 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
583 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
584 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
585 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
586 driver.
587 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
588 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
589 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
590 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
591 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
592 client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
593 #1711)
594 - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
595 remote printers (STR #2384)
596 - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
597 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
598 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
599 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
600 - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
601 and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)

603 available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)

605 based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
606 #2334, STR #2383)
607 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
608 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
609 (STR #2334)
610 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
611 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
612 #2383)
613 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
614 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
615 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
616 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
617 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
618 (STR #2240)
619 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
620 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
621 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
622 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,

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

637 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
638 with the list of printers.
639 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
640 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)

701 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
702 strings (STR #1969)
