Common UNIX Printing System 1.3.0

Created at 13:50 Aug 13, 2007 by mike, last modified at 13:53 Aug 13, 2007

CUPS 1.3.0 is now available for download from:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

CUPS 1.3.0 is the first stable feature release in the 1.3.x series and includes over 30 new features and changes since CUPS 1.2.12, including Kerberos authentication, DNS-SD/Bonjour/Zeroconf support, improved on-line help, and localized printer drivers. For a complete list of changes and new features, please consult the "What's New in CUPS 1.3" document at:

    http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/whatsnew.html

Changes in CUPS 1.3.0 since 1.3rc2:

• The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to heavy CPU usage.
• The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations (STR #2470)
• "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the cupsd.conf file.
• The on-line help did not describe many common printing options (STR #1846)
• The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.
• The scheduler was not looking in the correct directories for LSB PPD files (STR #2464)
• Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript (STR #2463)
• The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when the job was canceled or stopped.
• Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote printing.  Note that this requires a recent version of MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique() function or Heimdal Kerberos.
• Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.

I was in the process of writing a note to our user(s) requesting a date and time to upgrade to CUPS 1.2.12, came here to look when CUPS 1.2.12 was last updated, and found CUPS 1.3 is already available?

Howly cow...I need to visit this place more often. Anyway, it is great news 1.3 is out now where it carries some needed functionalities for environment with many clients.

I'm looking forward to testing it... Reply
