  • Added IPP test suite for testing.
  • Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
  • Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document not specified.

  • Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to stderr.
  • The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the job name and display string, if supported.

  • Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP connection structure.
  • Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
  • Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
  • Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it is a potential security hole.

  • Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices (/dev/usblp#)
