CUPS 1.2.7 adds several Mac OS X improvements, implements timeouts in the SSL negotiation code, and fixes the bounding box generated by the PostScript filter, bidirectional support in the USB backend, and another case where the lpstat command could hang. Changes include:

• Documentation updates (Issue #2089)

• The PostScript filter now rotates the bounding box values as needed (Issue #2079)

• The scheduler no longer loads the remote printer cache when browsing is disabled (Issue #2084)

• The scheduler no longer writes a new launchd configuration file if it doesn’t have to (Issue #2083)

• Updated the USB and PAP backends for Mac OS X (Issue #2086)

• The scheduler now picks up on changes to IPv6 and DNS configuration on Mac OS X (Issue #2085)

• The lpstat program could still hang (Issue #2098)

• Fixed an inefficiency in the SNMP IPP detection code (Issue #2100)

• The SSL negotiation code did not implement short timeouts (Issue #2091)
