- and header information to the web browser (STR #919,
- STR #1007)
- - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web
- interface so that you can set the list of allowed or

- has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in
- URIs (STR #917, STR #1202)

- CUPS driver for Windows.
- - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which
- ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies
- when it was busy (STR #1184)
- - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when
- opening files in append mode (STR #990)
- - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially

+ - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
+ one printer or class added (STR #3094)

+ (STR #3171)
+ - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)

+ values.

+ printer had other reasons associated with it.
+ - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
+ - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
+ (STR #3084)
+ - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
+ cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)
