 100           variable intervals (from 1 to 10 seconds) instead

 139
 140 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.2
 141

 167         - The cupstestppd utility now tests for resolutions greater

 169           resolutions.
 170         - Fixed many problems in the various translations and added
 171           a new "checkpo" utility to validate them.

 176         - If a remote printer stopped while a job was being sent, the
 177           local queue would also get stopped and the job re-queued,
 178           resulting in duplicate prints in some cases.
 179         - A few Apple-specific job options needed to be omitted when
 180           printing a banner page.

 195         - The scheduler makefile contained a typo (STR #2483)
 196         - The TBCP and BCP port monitors did not handle the trailing
 197           CTRL-D in some PostScript output properly.

 204         - Updated the Spanish web interface localization (STR #2473)
 205         - ppdLocalize() did not work for country-specific localizations.
 206
 207
 208 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
 209
 210         - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
 211           gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
 212           heavy CPU usage.
 213         - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
 214           (STR #2470)
 215         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
 216           "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
 217           cupsd.conf file.
 218         - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
 219           options (STR #1846)

 221           when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.

 223           for LSB PPD files (STR #2464)

 226         - The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when
 227           the job was canceled or stopped.
 228         - Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote
 229           printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of
 230           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 231           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 232         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
 233
 234
 235 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc2
 236
 237         - Added more range checking to the pdftops filter.

 239           (STR #2460)
 240         - The scheduler did not allow "DefaultAuthType None".
 241
 242
 243 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc1
 244
 245         - Updated the German localization (STR #2443)
 246         - cupsAdminGetServerSettings() did not handle </Foo> properly.
 247         - When lprm and cancel are run with no job ID, they now will
 248           cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
 249           jobs are left in the queue.
 250         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 251           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 252           level (STR #2458)
 253         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 254           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)
 255         - Added Intellitech Intellibar and Zebra CPCL PPDs to the list

 262         - Moving a job that was printing did not stop the job on the
 263           original printer (STR #2262)
 264         - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not work on Mac OS X server.
 265         - Added httpGetAuthString() and httpSetAuthString() APIs to get
 266           and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
 267           HTTP requests.
 268         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 269           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 270           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 271           group of users that are "printer operators".
 272         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 273           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
 274         - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
 275         - The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos

 277           the group membership lists used by CUPS.
 278         - cupsMarkOptions() could (incorrectly) leave multiple option
 279           choices marked.

 283           (STR #2455)

 285           (STR #2450)
 286         - The scheduler now erases authentication cache files using the
 287           7-pass US DoD algorithm.
 288         - Delegated Kerberos credentials (proxy authentication) did not
 289           work.
 290         - The filter makefile did not optimize the libcupsimage.2.dylib
 291           with a sectorder file.
 292         - The IPP backend incorrectly wrote an empty printer message
 293           when processing the "none" state reason.
 294         - The USB backend could deadlock on Mac OS X while performing
 295           a side-channel command.

 305 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 306
 307         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 308         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 309           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 310         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 311         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 312           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 313         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 314         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 315           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 316         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 317           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 318           default (STR #2164)
 319         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 320           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 321           DefaultAuthType directive.
 322         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 323           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 324           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 325         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 326           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 327         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 328           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 329           driver.
 330         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 331           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 332           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 333           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 334         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 335           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 336           #1711)
 337         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 338           remote printers (STR #2384)
 339         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 340           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 341         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
