The second release candidate of CUPS 1.2 is now available for download from the CUPS web site. We are also providing binary packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (32-bit + 64-bit Intel), Fedora Core 4 (32-bit Intel), and MacOS X 10.4 (32-bit PowerPC + Intel) for your convenience.
In accordance with the updated CUPS Developers Guide, we will have at least a two-week release candidate period to resolve any issues in the 1.2 release. Report all problems with the release candidate on the following page:
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 CUPS 1.2, so it is very important that you report any problems you identify using the form.
