The fourth 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 Thursday, October 30th 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 v1.1.20rc4:
Same here - seems fixed in rc5 (tested). Reply
This version of CUPS breaks on my system. E.g. during bootup it starts the CUPS deamon (server) and when I want to print something the server segfaults (at least after ps -A no cupsd is being show anymore) restarting the cupsd server doesnt change anything either. Downgrading to rc3 solved this problem for me. Reply
