+
+
+CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3b1
+
+ - Copyright updates - CUPS is now owned by Apple Inc.
+ - Documentation updates (STR #1775, STR #2027, STR #2130,
+ STR #2131, STR #2263, STR #2356, STR #2397)
+ - Added new cupsfilter utility (STR #1734)
+ - Added new job-printer-state-message and
+ job-printer-state-reasons attributes to jobs (STR #2418)
+ - Added LDAP+SSL support (STR #1967)
+ - CUPS now supports authentication via peer credentials
+ over domain sockets (STR #2242, STR #2277)
+ - The CUPS sample driver PPDs are now generated by the PPD
+ compiler and include all of the localized languages by
+ default (STR #2164)
+ - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
+ file to use the default authentication defined by the
+ DefaultAuthType directive.
+ - The SNMP backend no longer adds a default Address line
+ when none is specified in the snmp.conf file; this allows
+ the backend to be easily disabled as needed (STR #2434)
+ - Added a new cupsctl command for doing basic changes to
+ the cupsd.conf file (STR #1777)
+ - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the
+ localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a
+ driver.
+ - Removed the deskjet2.ppd driver, as it only worked with
+ a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was
+ confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still
+ supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues.
+ - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a
+ client did not specify the last document in a job (STR
+ #1711)
+ - The scheduler did not report Bonjour shared printers as
+ remote printers (STR #2384)
+ - Added new -R and -W options to the cupstestppd program
+ for greater control over the testing of PPDs.
+ - Added a new cupsGetServerPPD() function for getting
+ an available PPD from the server (STR #2334)
+ - Added a new cupsDoIORequest() function for reading
+ and writing files via IPP requests (STR #2334)
+ - Added a new CUPS_GET_PPD operation for getting an
+ available PPD file on the server (STR #2334)
+ - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports multiple ppd-product values
+ based on the PPD ModelName and Product strings (STR
+ #2334, STR #2383)
+ - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the PSVersion attributes
+ from a PPD file in the ppd-psversion attribute
+ (STR #2334)
+ - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports the cupsModelNumber attribute
+ from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
+ #2383)
+ - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the
+ ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter
+ attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383)
+ - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version"
+ which reports the version of CUPS that is running
+ (STR #2240)
+ - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM
+ if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
+ - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
+ backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
+ it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
+ (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing
+ (STR #2035, STR #2354)
+ - The scheduler now recreates the CUPS log directory as
+ needed (STR #2353)

+ to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357)
+ - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups
+ of array elements (STR #2358)

+ - The cupstestppd program now tests for existing filters,
+ icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326)
+ - The web interface no longer lists new printers on the
+ main administration page. Instead, a new "List Available
+ Printers" button is provided that shows a separate page
+ with the list of printers.
+ - The web interface now supports setting the banner and
+ policy options on raw printers and classes (STR #2238)
+ - The socket backend now reads any pending back-channel
+ data before shutting down the socket (STR #2325)

+ file (STR #1871)
+ - Printers that use JCL options are now exported to Samba
+ correctly (STR #1985)
+ - The IPP backend now relays printer-state-message values
+ from the server to the client (STR #2109)
+ - Added support for the PWG printer-alert and
+ printer-alert-description attributes (STR #2088)

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

+ device and multiple files and/or banners now works (STR
+ #1933)

+ cupsAdminSetServerSettings() APIs.

+ - The on-line help now provides better search capabilities

+ to change the printer name, description, and location
+ (STR #1646)
+ - Added support for Mac OS X authorization services
+ (STR #2206)
+ - Added support for driver-specific pre-filters (STR #2108)
+ - Added a new side-channel API for drivers and backends

+ #1898)
+ - The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue

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