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) - cupsLangDefault() now maps new-style Apple locale names to the traditional ll_CC form (STR #2357) - Add new cupsArrayNew2() API to support hashed lookups of array elements (STR #2358) - ppdConflicts() optimizations (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.
