   5
   6         - Documentation updates (STR #4464)
   7         - The scheduler now monitors the AC power status on OS X, allowing for
   8           "sleep printing" when sharing printers (<rdar://problem/17325852>)
   9         - The scheduler incorrectly called launch_activate_socket multiple times
  10           on OS X (<rdar://problem/17523218>)
  11         - The ippserver test program now passes the IPP Everywhere self-
  12           certification tests (STR #4101)
  13         - Relaxed the new OS X filter sandbox slightly (STR #4471,
  14           <rdar://problem/17483959>)
  15         - Dropped the old Epson Stylus Color/Photo sample drivers since they
  16           don't work with any current printers and there are free alternatives
  17           that produce much better output (<rdar://problem/18036889>)
  18         - Log and configuration files that are not world-readable are again
  19           accessible via the web interface (STR #4461)
  20         - PPD files are now created using the permissions specified by the
  21           ConfigFilePerm directive.
  22         - Fixed RPM build issues (STR #4459)
  23         - Fixed the spinner image and restart page when reconfiguring the

  40         - The scheduler now returns completed jobs in the correct newest-to-
  41           oldest order (STR #4396)
  42         - The configure script now supports target-specific tools for pkg-config
  43           and others (STR #4423)
  44         - The ipptool program now supports EXPECT statements for collection
  45           member attributes (<rdar://problem/15355218>)

  49           default (<rdar://problem/14756625>)

  51           (STR #4372, STR #4329)
  52         - The scheduler now supports the "first-index" operation attribute for
  53           the Get-Jobs operation (STR #2913)
  54         - Changed the default AccessLogLevel and PageLogFormat to disable the

  56         - cupsRasterInterpretPPD now supports the Orientation header in order to
  57           support long-edge feed raster printers (<rdar://problem/15837926>)
  58         - The scheduler now allows run-as-root backends to have group read and

  63         - Dropped "dark wake" support on OS X, which was preventing portables
  64           from going to sleep when there was a stuck job. We now use a variation
  65           of the CUPS 1.4 sleep support to do a cleaner sleep
  66           (<rdar://problem/14323704>)

  69           scheduler (STR #4321)
  70         - The cupsGetClasses, cupsGetPrinters, and cupsTempFile functions are no
  71           longer supported.
  72         - The scheduler now caches more job history data and limits the number
  73           of completed jobs returned by Get-Jobs as needed in order to prevent a
  74           denial-of-service on busy servers (STR #2913)
  75         - The filter/backend sandbox on OS X now defaults to a more strict
  76           whitelist (<rdar://problem/15939788>)
  77         - Increased the default idle exit timeout to 60 seconds on OS X
  78           (<rdar://problem/16041820>)

  80           (<rdar://problem/16385643>)
  81         - The scheduler now uses </DefaultPrinter> to close the default printer
  82           definition in printers.conf (STR #4153)
  83         - Canceling all jobs in the web interface now just cancels the jobs
  84           (STR #1914)
