that can be done (basically now the scheduler only
requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend)

STR #1007)
- Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web
interface so that you can set the list of allowed or
denied users/groups for a printer or class.
- Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it
has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in
URIs (STR #917, STR #1202)

support for it to the texttops filter so that you can
pretty print plain text files without the C/C++

#1226)

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
private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with
other implementations with the same name.

fonts (STR #1093)
- The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the
middle of an IPP request (STR #1153)

administrator to add printer URI options to the browse
URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR #732)
- Added BrowseRemoteOptions directive to allow the
administrator to add standard URI options to the
remote printer URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR
#732)

to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before
installed headers (STR #437)
