 335           STR #3305)
 336         - cupsDoIORequest() did not abort on permanent errors (STR #3311)

 398           variables (STR #3210)

 400           needing a ranlib program (STR #3209)

 414         - ppdOpen*() could crash if a keyword had no value string (something
 415           that cupstestppd looks for...)
 416         - cupsLangDefault() did not return the correct language on Mac OS X.
 417         - The Mac OS X USB backend did not handle aborted or stalled pipe

 422 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b3
 423

 425           STR #3173)
 426         - Added complete localizations for German, Japanese, Polish, and
 427           Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
 428           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 429           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)
 430         - Updated the configure check for -fstack-protector (STR #3198)
 431         - The network backends now correctly convert SNMP supply descriptions to
 432           UTF-8 encoding as needed.

 436           (STR #2624)
 437         - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for
 438           failed print jobs.
 439         - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133)
 440         - Fixed a number of ppdi issues and added a unit test to validate that
 441           ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)
 442         - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
 443           one printer or class added (STR #3094)
 444         - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
 445           stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
 446           reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
 447           (STR #3171)
 448         - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
 449         - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
 450         - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
 451           that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
 452           delegatable credentials.  Shared printing still requires delegation,
 453           however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
 454           all work.
 455         - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
 456         - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.

 458           lack of kernel buffers.
 459         - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
 460           while copying print data to a temporary file.
 461         - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
 462           causing reduced performance in some situations.
 463         - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
 464           would hang on the client.
 465         - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
 466           work (STR #3132)
 467         - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
 468         - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
 469           product, or psversion (STR #3136)
 470         - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds
 471           (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
 472         - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
 473           filenames in the PPD file.

 475           values.

 479         - The scheduler could consume 100% CPU when jobs were canceled.
 480         - Clicking on "Select Another Make/Manufacturer" in the web interface
 481           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 482         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
 483           permissions.
 484         - httpAssembleURI*() did not escape backslashes in hostnames.
 485         - The dnssd backend did not unquote "full names" before creating the
 486           device URI.
 487         - The scheduler now supports JobRetryInterval values less than 10
 488           seconds.
 489         - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090)
 490         - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating
 491           them failed.
 492         - The "authenticated" policy incorrectly required authentication for
 493           status operations.
 494         - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
 495           keywords.
 496         - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
 497           maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
 498           often unreliable.
 499         - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
 500           "crashed".
 501         - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
 502         - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
 503         - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a

 505         - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
 506         - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
 507           (STR #3084)
 508         - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
 509           cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)
 510         - The scheduler now provides a LogTimeFormat directive to enable
 511           microseconds in the date and time that are logged.
 512         - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to
 513           control the timeout for multi-file print jobs.

 515           printer discovery (STR #3065)

 524         - cupsGetPPD3() did not look for local PPDs in the right directory.
 525         - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and
 526           and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters.
 527         - The libusb-based USB backend did not work.
 528         - The scheduler did not set the printer-commands attribute correctly
 529           for some PPDs.
 530         - The ppdi utility did not work.
 531         - The web interface no longer uses multi-part output with old or broken

 539         - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)
 540         - cupsResolveConflicts() did not resolve using the default option
 541           choice in some cases due to the mirror UIConstraints that are
 542           present in most PPD files.
 543         - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities.
 544         - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
 545           its jobs.
 546         - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
 547         - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
 548           all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
 549           printers.
 550         - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
 551           printer attributes when a job was canceled.
 552         - The scheduler did not clear the "connecting-to-device" reason keyword
 553           when a job finished.

 556 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.4b2
 557
 558         - Documentation updates (STR #2983, STR #2998, STR #3021)
 559         - The cupstestppd utility now validates the FileVersion and
 560           FormatVersion values in PPD files.
 561         - The default cupsd.conf file did not reflect the
 562           --with-local-protocols value set at compile-time (STR #3037)
 563         - The cupsGetPPD* APIs now create symlinks to local PPD files
 564           rather than copying them whenever possible.
 565         - Various performance optimizations in the string pool, dests, and
 566           options implementations.
 567         - The cupsGetDests* APIs now return the marker and printer-commands
 568           attributes.

 570           was set to False in the PPD file.

 572           and network backends (STR #3014)
 573         - Added a Spanish localization (STR #3015)

 584           attribute.
 585         - The print filters now support a replacement for the fitplot
 586           option called "fit-to-page".
 587         - The LPD backend no longer tries to collect page accounting
 588           information since the LPD protocol does not allow us to
 589           prevent race conditions.
 590         - The scheduler did not save the last marker-change-time value.
 591         - Fixed a problem with printing to some IPP printers, including

 601           have all stopped.
 602         - The IPP, LPD, and socket backends used different "connecting"
 603           progress messages.

 612           (STR #2863)
 613         - The scheduler now supports the Hold-New-Jobs and
