520 printing a banner page.
521 - The new peer credential support did not compile on FreeBSD
522 (STR #2495)

546
547
548 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
549
550 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
551 gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
552 heavy CPU usage.
553 - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
554 (STR #2470)
555 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
556 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the

573
574

606 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
607 HTTP requests.
608 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
609 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
610 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

613 from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
614 - Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.

650 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
651 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
652 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
653 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

657 compiler and include all of the localized languages by
658 default (STR #2164)
659 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
660 file to use the default authentication defined by the
661 DefaultAuthType directive.
662 - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
663 when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
664 the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
665 - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
666 the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
667 - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
668 localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
669 driver.
670 - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
671 a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
672 confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
673 supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
674 - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a

689 #2334, STR #2383)
690 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
691 from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
692 (STR #2334)
693 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
694 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
695 #2383)
696 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
697 ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
698 attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
699 - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
700 which reports the version of CUPS that is running
701 (STR #2240)
702 - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
703 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
704 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP

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

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

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

747 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
748 #2239)
749 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
750 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
751 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
752 any address (STR #2008)

784 which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
785 strings (STR #1969)
786 - Moved the definition of the (private) _http_s structure
