Common UNIX Printing System 1.1.20rc2

Created at 09:00 Sep 17, 2003 by mike, last modified at 13:47 Sep 17, 2003

The second release candidate for version 1.1.20 of the Common UNIX Printing System ("CUPS") is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan, you now have until Wednesday, October 1st to test this release candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not automatically entered into the trouble report database and will not influence the final production release of 1.1.20, so it is very important that you report any problems you identify using the form.

CUPS 1.1.20 is primarily a bug fix and performance tuning release and includes fixes for 64-bit platforms, deadlock problems in the signal handling code, PDF printing issues, web interface issues, and various operating system-specific issues. The new release also adds new CUPS API functions for reading and writing files via HTTP, performing authentication, and controlling the required PPD conformance level.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.20rc2:

        

• The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
          for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
          printers that returned status info but were not ready
          for more print data (STR #287)
          
• The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
          (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
          
• The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
          with "GET" variables (STR #268)
          
• Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
          #289)
          
• Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
          
• Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
          10.3 (STR #270)
          
• Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
          
• The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
          did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
          counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
          very difficult (STR #277)
          
• Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
          scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
          the filter group (STR #283)
          
• The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
          some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
          rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
          
• The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
          attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
          
• The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
          the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
          
• The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
          language localization for a request; this caused extra
          disk IO for every request (STR #271)
          
• The scheduler did not support requests with more than
          one language specified (STR #267)
