542 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3.0
543
544 - The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions
545 gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to
546 heavy CPU usage.
547 - The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations
548 (STR #2470)
549 - "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the
550 "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the
551 cupsd.conf file.
552 - The on-line help did not describe many common printing
553 options (STR #1846)
554 - The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status
555 when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.

565 function or Heimdal Kerberos.

567
568

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

600 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
601 HTTP requests.
602 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
603 "administrative" operations separately from the "printer
604 control" operations so that it is easier to define a

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

644 - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
645 - Added new job-printer-state-message and
646 job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
647 - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)

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

674 for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
675 - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
676 an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)

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

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

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

713 main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
714 Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
715 with the list of printers.
716 - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
717 policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)

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

741 web interface now return back to the original page (STR
742 #2239)
743 - The classes or printers list is now shown after a
744 successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)
745 - The default configuration now allows browse packets from

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