a side-channel command.

shared/published.

authentication errors.

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)

- 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.

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)
- Added a new ErrorPolicy directive in the cupsd.conf
file (STR #1871)

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)
- Added support for LPD "stream" mode (STR #2036)
- 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.

for creating web interface buttons (STR #2231)
- Added support for DNS-SD (aka "Bonjour") printer sharing
(STR #1171)
- Job operations (cancel, hold, release, etc.) from the
web interface now return back to the original page (STR

successful deletion from the web interface (STR #1999)

Internet" check box (STR #1897)

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
for basic device control and information queries (STR
#1898)
- The scheduler now uses poll(), epoll(), or /dev/kqueue
instead of select() when possible (STR #1261)
- Added new cupsArrayGetIndex() and cupsArrayGetInsert()
functions to get the current index and insertion
positions of an array.
- Added a new --with-max-copies configure option (STR
#2090)

functions.
- Added support for cupsPJLCharset attribute in PPD files
which specifies the character set that is used in PJL
strings (STR #1969)

to http-private.h; code that directly accesses the
http_t members will no longer compile!
