CUPS 1.7.0 is primarily a “polish” release release with improved support for paid, PIN, and release printing, expanded support for IPP Everywhere, automatic support for data compression, a new “ippfind” utility, and improved CUPS APIs. Changes since 1.7rc1 include:

• Updated Japanese localization.
• The lpadmin command did not send the PPD name from the “-m” option (<rdar://problem/15264697>)
• Network backends now use the prtMarkerSuppliesClass property to determine the direction of supply level values (<rdar://problem/14302628>)
• The scheduler did not remove backup PPD files when a printer was deleted (<rdar://problem/15065555>)
• The scheduler incorrectly responded to HEAD requests when the web interface was disabled (<rdar://problem/15090332>)
• The scheduler did not respond using the hostname specified by the client (<rdar://problem/14583574>)
• Fax queues did not work when shared via Bonjour (<rdar://problem/14498310>)
• Error messages from the scheduler were not localized using the language specified in the client’s IPP request (<rdar://problem/14128011>)
• Added an Italian localization (<rdar://problem/14481578>)
• Fixed a couple memory leaks in ippfind that were reported by Clang.
• Fixed a compile issue on 64-bit Linux with Clang - need to use the -pie option instead of -Wl,-pie now (<rdar://problem/14480938>)
• The ippfind utility reported the wrong port numbers when compiled against Avahi (<rdar://problem/14508324>)
• httpGetFd, httpGetFile, httpPutFd, and httpPutFile did not automatically reconnect if the server closed the connecion after the previous response.
• Fixed a compile error in libcups (<rdar://problem/14467141>)
• The scheduler incorrectly did not pass a FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE environment variable to the filters or backend (<rdar://problem/14355011>)
• The cups-exec helper program could fail randomly on OS X due to sandbox violations when closing excess file descriptors (<rdar://problem/14421943>)
• The scheduler incorrectly did not use the kqueue interface on OS X.

Enjoy!
