CUPS 1.2.11 is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

CUPS 1.2.11 fixes several build system, printing, PPD, and IPP conformance issues. It also fixes a crash bug in the scheduler when printing to files in non-existent directories. Changes include:

• Updated the launchd support on Mac OS X to better support reconfiguration.
• "make distclean" didn't remove all generated files (STR #2366)
• Fixed a bug in the advertisement of classes (STR #2373)
• The IPP backend now stays running until the job is actually printed by the remote server; previously it would stop monitoring the job if it was held or temporarily stopped (STR #2352)
• PDF files were not always printed using the correct orientation (STR #2348)
• The scheduler could crash if you specified a bad file: URI for a printer (STR #2351)
• The Renew-Subscription operation now returns the notify-lease-duration value that was used (STR #2346)
• The IPP backend sent job options to IPP printers, however some printers tried to override the options embedded in the PS/PCL stream with those job options (STR #2349)
• ppdLocalize() now also tries a country-specific localization for when localizing to a generic locale name.
• The cupstestppd program now allows for partial localizations to reduce the size of universal PPD files.
• Chinese PPD files were incorrectly tagged with the "cn" locale (should have been "zh")
• The backends now manage the printer-state-reasons attribute more accurately (STR #2345)
• Java, PHP, Perl, and Python scripts did not work properly (STR #2342)
• The scheduler would take forever to start if the maximum number of file descriptors was set to "unlimited" (STR #2329)
• The page-ranges option was incorrectly applied to the banner pages (STR #2336)
• Fixed some GCC compile warnings (STR #2340)
• The DBUS notification code was broken for older versions of DBUS (STR #2327)
• The IPv6 code did not compile on HP-UX 11.23 (STR #2331)
• PPD constraints did not work properly with custom options.
• Regular PPD options with the name "CustomFoo" did not work.
• The USB backend did not work on NetBSD (STR #2324)
• The printer-state-reasons attribute was incorrectly cleared after a job completed (STR #2323)
• The scheduler did not set the printer operation policy on startup, only on soft reload (STR #2319)
• The AP_FIRSTPAGE_InputSlot option did not clear any ManualFeed setting that was made, which caused problems with some PPD files (STR #2318)
• cupsDoFileRequest() and cupsDoRequest() did not abort when getting an error in the response (STR #2315)
• The scheduler did not schedule jobs properly to remote or nested classes (STR #2317)
• Updated the mime.types and mime.convs headers to warn that the files are overwritten when CUPS is installed. Local changes should go in local.types or local.convs, respectively (STR #2310)
• The scheduler could get in an infinite loop if a printer in an implicit class disappeared (STR #2311)
• The pstops filter did not handle %%EndFeature comments properly (STR #2306)
• Fixed a problem with the Polish web page printer icons (STR #2305)
• ppdLocalize() now also localizes the cupsICCProfile attributes.
• The scheduler still had a reference to the incorrect "notify-recipient" attribute (STR #2307)
• The "make check" and "make test" subscription tests did not set the locale (STR #2307)
• The "make check" and "make test" subscription tests incorrectly used the notify-recipient attribute instead of notify-recipient-uri (STR #2307)
• cupsRasterInterpretPPD() incorrectly limited the cupsBorderlessScalingFactor when specified in the job options.
