CHANGES IN CUPS V1.3rc1
- Updated the German localization (STR #2443)

cancel the first stopped job if no pending or processing
jobs are left in the queue.

failures, and the job file types at the default log
level (STR #2458)

and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for

- Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the
"administrative" operations separately from the "printer

group of users that are "printer operators".
- The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file
from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory.
- Added a help file for using Kerberos with CUPS.
- The scheduler now strips the "@KDC" portion of Kerberos
usernames since those usernames typically do not appear in

(STR #2454)

shared/published.

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)

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)

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)

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)
