493 - Added new cupsDir*() functions to CUPS API.
494 - Printers can now be published individually for sharing.
495 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's startup signalling code
496 which caused cupsd to send the SIGUSR1 signal to the
497 init process instead of the original parent process
498 (STR #1258)
499 - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide
500 searchable help.
501 - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query
502 doing a new device scan. This eliminates a previous
503 startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new
504 printers to be seen without restarting the server,
505 however it limits the amount of device URI checking
506 that can be done (basically now the scheduler only
507 requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend)
508 - Added new printer auto-detection, server configuration,
509 and log file viewing to the administration web page.
510 - Added new "set allowed users" web interface to set the
511 list of allowed users for a printer or class.
512 - The scheduler, command-line, and web interfaces now
513 limit the list of printers and classes to those
514 accessible by a user.
515 - cupsMarkOptions() now handles more non-standard
516 duplexing options and choices (STR #915)
517 - cups-lpd now honors remote banner requests with the
518 "standard" banner whenever a printer does not have one
519 defined (STR #1220)
520 - The scheduler's denial-of-service checks did not work
521 properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134)
522 - The lp and lpr commands did not error out properly when
523 they were unable to write to a temporary file (STR
524 #1129)
525 - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific
526 comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085)
527 - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer
528 interface (STR #936)
529 - The web interface now operates exclusively with the
530 UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set
531 and header information to the web browser (STR #919,
532 STR #1007)
533 - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web
534 interface so that you can set the list of allowed or
535 denied users/groups for a printer or class.
536 - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it
537 has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in
538 URIs (STR #917, STR #1202)
539 - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and
540 support for it to the texttops filter so that you can
541 pretty print plain text files without the C/C++
542 keywords being highlighted.
543 - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR
544 #1226)
545 - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor
546 directives followed by a tab properly.
547 - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG
548 commands to show the current job on the printer's
549 display (STR #1218)
550 - Local authentication certificates are now stored in
551 /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of
552 /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211)
553 - Backends now use "&" to separate options in device
554 URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR
555 #842)
556 - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo
557 format on systems that support device ID queries.
558 - Forced classification markings did not work when the
559 job-sheets parameters were "none,none".
560 - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed,
561 even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR
562 #801)
563 - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients
564 without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives.
565 - The CUPS API and scheduler no longer support SSLv2-
566 encrypted connections.
567 - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the
568 CUPS driver for Windows.
569 - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which
570 ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies
571 when it was busy (STR #1184)
572 - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when
573 opening files in append mode (STR #990)
574 - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially
575 private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with
576 other implementations with the same name.
577 - The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded some Type1
578 fonts (STR #1093)
579 - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the
580 middle of an IPP request (STR #1153)
581 - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status
582 if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in
583 the same input cycle (STR #1157)
584 - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to
585 infinite recursion.
586 - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the
587 run-length encoding and support more options.
588 - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well
589 as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049)
590 - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under
591 certain circumstances (STR #1068)
592 - The USB backend termination signal code was inverted
593 (STR #1046)
594 - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be
595 consistent.
596 - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP
597 filters to setup the raster page header from
598 PostScript commands in a PPD file.
599 - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit
600 to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the
601 server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully
602 (STR #793)
603 - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf
604 and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form
605 "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket".
606 - The "cancel -u user" command now works for ordinary
607 users (STR #751)
608 - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64)
609 - Added domain socket support (STR #656)
610 - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the
611 administrator to add printer URI options to the browse
612 URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR #732)
613 - Added BrowseRemoteOptions directive to allow the
614 administrator to add standard URI options to the
615 remote printer URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR
616 #732)
617 - Now put "-I.." compiler option in front of all others
618 to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before
619 installed headers (STR #437)
620 - New cupsLangPrintf() and cupsLangPuts() for localized
621 interfaces.
622 - Now support custom attributes and extended options in
623 PPD files.
624 - Now provide functions to save PPD files.
625 - New policy mechanism allows per-operation and
626 per-printer control over what users and groups are
627 allowed to do various IPP operations.
628 - New error policy mechanism to control how aborted
629 backend errors are handled by the scheduler
630 (abort-job, retry-job, requeue-job, stop-printer)
631 - Updated the printer test page with a better color
632 wheel and a separate grayscale ramp.
633 - A single backend process is now run to send all print
634 data for a job.
635 - Backends and filters can now send and receive
636 backchannel data over file descriptor 3.
