+ startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new
+ printers to be seen without restarting the server,
+ however it limits the amount of device URI checking
+ that can be done (basically now the scheduler only
+ requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend)

+ - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer
+ interface (STR #936)
+ - The web interface now operates exclusively with the
+ UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set
+ 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
+ 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)
+ - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and
+ support for it to the texttops filter so that you can
+ pretty print plain text files without the C/C++
+ keywords being highlighted.
+ - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR
+ #1226)
+ - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor

+ format on systems that support device ID queries.
+ - Forced classification markings did not work when the
+ job-sheets parameters were "none,none".
+ - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed,
+ even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR
+ #801)
+ - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients
+ without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives.
+ - The CUPS API and scheduler no longer support SSLv2-
+ encrypted connections.
+ - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the
+ 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
+ private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with
+ other implementations with the same name.
+ - The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded some Type1
+ fonts (STR #1093)
+ - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the
+ middle of an IPP request (STR #1153)
+ - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status
+ if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in
+ the same input cycle (STR #1157)
+ - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to
+ infinite recursion.
+ - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the
+ run-length encoding and support more options.
+ - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well
+ as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049)
+ - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under
+ certain circumstances (STR #1068)
+ - The USB backend termination signal code was inverted
+ (STR #1046)
+ - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be
+ consistent.
+ - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP
+ filters to setup the raster page header from
+ PostScript commands in a PPD file.
+ - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit
+ to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the
+ server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully
+ (STR #793)
+ - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf
+ and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form
+ "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket".
+ - The "cancel -u user" command now works for ordinary
+ users (STR #751)
+ - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64)
+ - Added domain socket support (STR #656)
+ - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the
+ 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)
+ - Now put "-I.." compiler option in front of all others
+ to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before

+ - Now support custom attributes and extended options in
+ PPD files.
+ - Now provide functions to save PPD files.
+ - New policy mechanism allows per-operation and

+ - Updated the printer test page with a better color
+ wheel and a separate grayscale ramp.
+ - A single backend process is now run to send all print
+ data for a job.
+ - Backends and filters can now send and receive
+ backchannel data over file descriptor 3.
+ - Updated the raster stream format to support more
+ user-defined attributes and to do compression of the
+ page data.
