The fifth 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, November 6th 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.
