Changes in CUPS v1.2.2:

• Documentation updates (Issue #1765, Issue #1780)
• CUPS didn't know about alternate character set names for Asian text (Issue #1819)
• The lpoptions -o and -r options did not work unless you specified a printer.
• The lpoptions command incorrectly allowed users to set printer attributes like printer-type (Issue #1791)
• httpWait() did not flush the write buffer, causing "bad request" errors when communicating with CUPS 1.1.x servers (Issue #1717)
• Polling did not sanitize the printer description, location, or make and model strings like broadcasts did.
• Polled printers did not show the server's default job-sheets option value.
• The Samba password prompt was not properly localized (Issue #1814)
• Added a German translation (Issue #1842)
• The scheduler now creates self-signed SSL certficates automatically when using OpenSSL and CDSA for encryption, just as for GNU TLS.
• The SNMP backend sporatically reported some printers as "unknown" (Issue #1774)
• The scheduler now forces BrowseTimeout to be at least twice the BrowseInterval value and non-zero to avoid common configuration errors.
• The scheduler incorrectly returned printer URIs of the form "ipp://server/printers/classname" for classes (Issue #1813)
• Updated Japanese localization (Issue #1805)
• The scheduler's SSL certificate/key directory was not created on installation (Issue #1788)
• Added a mailto.conf man page and help page (Issue #1754)
• The parallel and USB backends no longer wait for the printer to go on-line - this caused problems with certain printers that don't follow with the IEEE-1284 standard (Issue #1738)
• The scheduler could crash on a reload when implicit classes were present (Issue #1828)
• The IPP backend incorrectly used the CUPS_ENCRYPTION environment variable to determine the default encryption mode when printing (Issue #1820)
• USB printing did not work on Solaris (Issue #1756)
• The scheduler sorted job priorities in the wrong order (Issue #1811)
• The scheduler did not automatically restart notifiers that exited or crashed (Issue #1793)
• IPv6 support did not work on NetBSD (Issue #1834)
• The EPM packaging file did not work (Issue #1804)
• The scheduler used up the CPU if BrowseRemoteProtocols was empty (Issue #1792)
• Custom page sizes did not work (Issue #1787)
• The SNMP backend could crash on some systems when SNMP logging was enabled (Issue #1789)
• Browsing could produce some funny printer names when ServerName was set to an IP address (Issue #1799)
• Fixed the log message for BrowseRelay (Issue #1798)
• Fixes to allow CUPS to compile on MirBSD (Issue #1796)
• The scheduler incorrectly set the FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE environment variable (Issue #1795)
• The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded a "produced by" comment, causing PDF printing not to work on some operating systems (Issue #1801)
• Sending raw jobs from a client system could cause the client's scheduler to eventually crash (Issue #1786)
• The scheduler now checks that the notifier exists prior to accepting a new subscription request.
• The scheduler now reports the supported notify-recipient schemes based on the contents of the ServerBin/notifier directory.
• Event notifications did not include the notify-sequence-number or other required attributes (Issue #1747)
• Allow/Deny addresses of the form "11.22.33.*" did not work on Linux (Issue #1769)
• cupsGetPPD() did not work if the scheduler was only listening on a domain socket (Issue #1766)
• The scheduler could crash advertising a class (Issue #1768)
• The scheduler could crash if the default printer was deleted (Issue #1776)
• Added a new default CUPS raster format (v3) which does not compress the raster stream in order to provide the same cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() performance as CUPS 1.1.x.
• The cupsaddsmb man page listed the wrong files for the CUPS driver.
• Some configure --with options did not work (Issue #1746)
• "Allow @if(name)" didn't work if "name" wasn't the first network interface (Issue #1758)
• The lpstat command did not use the correct character set when reporting the date and time (Issue #1751)
• The cupsaddsmb command and web interface did not update the Windows PPD files properly, resulting in corrupt PPD files for the Windows client to use (Issue #1750)
• The cupsd.conf man page didn't describe the Listen domain socket syntax (Issue #1753)
• The scheduler no longer tries to support more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors.
• CDSA (encryption) support fixes for MacOS X.
• The lppasswd program needs to be setuid to root to create and update the /etc/cups/passwd.md5 file (Issue #1735)
• 32/64-bit library installation was broken (Issue #1741)
• The USB backend now reports a "no such device" error when using the old filename-based USB URIs instead of the "success" error.
• Increased the HTTP and IPP read timeouts to 10 seconds, as 1 second was too short on congested networks (Issue #1719)
• The SNMP backend now uses the device description over the printer-make-and-model attribute when the attribute contains a generic name (Issue #1728)
• Fixed another file descriptor leak when printing raw files (Issue #1736)
• Raw queues were not shared via LDAP (Issue #1739)
• The pstops filter didn't always embed PageSetup commands from the PPD file (Issue #1740)
• "make install" didn't work if you disabled all of the localizations.
• The scheduler didn't always choose the least costly filter.
• Fixed parsing of IPv6 addresses in Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and BrowseRelay directives (Issue #1713)
• Printers that were shared via LDAP did not get added to the LDAP server properly (Issue #1733)
• LDAP browsing would crash the scheduler if a required value was missing (Issue #1731)
• Special cases for the "localhost" hostname did not work, causing printing to not work when the /etc/hosts file did not contain a localhost entry (Issue #1723)
• Updated the Spanish translation (Issue #1720, Issue #1770)
• Reverse-order page output was broken when N-up or landscape orientations were used (Issue #1725)
• The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends needed print data before they would report back-channel data, causing problems with several new drivers (Issue #1724)
