 313 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4rc1
 314
 315         - The PPD compiler documentation was missing information on localization
 316           (STR #3212)
 317         - The IPP backend now reconnects after every request when talking to
 318           printers that claim IPP support but only use HTTP/1.0.
 319         - The PPD compiler crashed when both "Resolution" and "Group foo Option
 320           Resolution" were specified in the .drv file.
 321         - The PPD compiler's #if/#elif/#else/#endif did not work for undefined
 322           variables (STR #3210)
 323         - Static libraries could not be installed by a non-root user on systems
 324           needing a ranlib program (STR #3209)
 325         - The scheduler incorrectly always tried to copy Kerberos credentials

 328         - The scheduler crashed when getting the default paper size from
 329           libpaper (STR #3205, STR #3206)
 330         - The PPD compiler now defines six variables: CUPS_VERSION,
 331           CUPS_VERSION_MAJOR, CUPS_VERSION_MINOR, CUPS_VERSION_PATCH,
 332           PLATFORM_NAME, and PLATFORM_ARCH (STR #3203)
 333         - Fixed a whitespace skipping bug in cupsRasterInterpretPPD.
 334         - The scheduler did not return HTTP 403 (Forbidden) for authenticated
 335           users that were not authorized to do IPP operations (STR #3193)
 336         - The scheduler did not report more than 8 Product strings from a PPD
 337           file.  Some PPD files have as many as 24.
 338         - ppdOpen*() could crash if a keyword had no value string (something
 339           that cupstestppd looks for...)
 340         - cupsLangDefault() did not return the correct language on Mac OS X.
 341         - The Mac OS X USB backend did not handle aborted or stalled pipe
 342           conditions properly, which prevented drivers from ejecting partial
 343           pages when a job was canceled or held.

 346 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b3
 347

 349           STR #3173)
 350         - Added complete localizations for German, Japanese, Polish, and
 351           Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
 352           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 353           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)
 354         - Updated the configure check for -fstack-protector (STR #3198)
 355         - The network backends now correctly convert SNMP supply descriptions to
 356           UTF-8 encoding as needed.

 360           (STR #2624)
 361         - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for
 362           failed print jobs.
 363         - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133)
 364         - Fixed a number of ppdi issues and added a unit test to validate that
 365           ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)
 366         - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
 367           one printer or class added (STR #3094)
 368         - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
 369           stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
 370           reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
 371           (STR #3171)
 372         - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
 373         - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
 374         - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
 375           that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
 376           delegatable credentials.  Shared printing still requires delegation,
 377           however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
 378           all work.
 379         - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
 380         - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.

 382           lack of kernel buffers.
 383         - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
 384           while copying print data to a temporary file.
 385         - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
 386           causing reduced performance in some situations.
 387         - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
 388           would hang on the client.
 389         - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
 390           work (STR #3132)
 391         - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
 392         - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
 393           product, or psversion (STR #3136)
 394         - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds
 395           (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
 396         - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
 397           filenames in the PPD file.

 405           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 406         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
 407           permissions.
 408         - httpAssembleURI*() did not escape backslashes in hostnames.
 409         - The dnssd backend did not unquote "full names" before creating the
 410           device URI.
 411         - The scheduler now supports JobRetryInterval values less than 10
 412           seconds.
 413         - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090)
 414         - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating

 416         - The "authenticated" policy incorrectly required authentication for
 417           status operations.
 418         - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
 419           keywords.
 420         - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
 421           maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
 422           often unreliable.
 423         - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
 424           "crashed".

 430         - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
 431           (STR #3084)
 432         - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
 433           cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)
 434         - The scheduler now provides a LogTimeFormat directive to enable
 435           microseconds in the date and time that are logged.
 436         - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to
 437           control the timeout for multi-file print jobs.

 449         - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and
 450           and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters.
 451         - The libusb-based USB backend did not work.
 452         - The scheduler did not set the printer-commands attribute correctly
 453           for some PPDs.
 454         - The ppdi utility did not work.
 455         - The web interface no longer uses multi-part output with old or broken

 466           present in most PPD files.
 467         - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities.
 468         - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
 469           its jobs.
 470         - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
 471         - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
 472           all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
 473           printers.
 474         - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
 475           printer attributes when a job was canceled.
 476         - The scheduler did not clear the "connecting-to-device" reason keyword
