 275           (STR #2470)
 276         - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the

 291           MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique()
 292           function or Heimdal Kerberos.
 293         - Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.

 310           jobs are left in the queue.
 311         - The scheduler now logs successful print jobs, filter
 312           failures, and the job file types at the default log
 313           level (STR #2458)
 314         - The scheduler now logs the usernames it is using for
 315           authorization at LogLevel debug instead of debug2 (STR #2448)

 328           HTTP requests.
 329         - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
 330           "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
 331           control" operations so that it is easier to define a
 332           group of users that are "printer operators".
 333         - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
 334           from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.

 366 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
 367
 368         - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
 369         - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
 370           STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
 371         - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
 372         - Added new job-printer-state-message and
 373           job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
 374         - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
 375         - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
 376           over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
 377         - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
 378           compiler and include all of the localized languages by
 379           default (STR #2164)
 380         - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
 381           file to use the default authentication defined by the
 382           DefaultAuthType directive.
 383         - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
 384           when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
 385           the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
 386         - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
 387           the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
 388         - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
 389           localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
 390           driver.
 391         - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
 392           a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
 393           confusing to users.  The rastertohp driver still
 394           supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
 395         - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
 396           client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
 397           #1711)
 398         - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
 399           remote printers (STR #2384)
 400         - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
 401           for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
 402         - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
 403           an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
 404         - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
 405           and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
 406         - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
 407           available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
 408         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
 409           based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
 410           #2334, STR #2383)
 411         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
 412           from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
 413           (STR #2334)
 414         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
 415           from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
 416           #2383)
 417         - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
 418           ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
 419           attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
 420         - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
 421           which reports the version of CUPS that is running
 422           (STR #2240)
 423         - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
 424           if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
 425         - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
 426           backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
 427           it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
 428           (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
 429           (STR #2035, STR #2354)
 430         - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
 431           needed (STR #2353)
 432         - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names
 433           to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
 434         - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
 435           of array elements (STR #2358)
 436         - ppdConflicts() optimizations (STR #2358)
 437         - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
 438           icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
 439         - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
 440           main administration page.  Instead, a new "List Available
 441           Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
 442           with the list of printers.
 443         - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
 444           policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
 445         - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
 446           data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)
 447         - Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
 448           file (STR #1871)

 454           printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)
 455         - Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
 456         - The scheduler now reports the PostScript product string
 457           from PPD files in CUPS-Get-PPDs responses (STR #1900)
 458         - Raw printing with queues pointing to the file pseudo-
 459           device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
 460           #1933)
 461         - Added new public cupsAdminGetServerSettings() and
 462           cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.
 463         - Added new "makebuttons" script in the "tools" directory
 464           for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
 465         - Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
 466           (STR #1171)
 467         - Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the

 469           #2239)
 470         - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
 471           successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
 472         - The default configuration now allows browse packets from
 473           any address (STR #2008)
 474         - The web interface now provides an "allow printing from the
 475           Internet" check box (STR #1897)
 476         - The notify-events-default and
 477           notify-lease-duration-default attributes can now be set
 478           (STR #1671)

 480           the "printer-defaults" attribute group is requested (STR
 481           #1923)
 482         - Added support for Linux "relro" linker option (STR #1614)
 483         - CUPS now validates the number-up option value (STR #1329)

 495         - The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue
 496           instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
 497         - Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
