Changes in CUPS v1.1.21rc1:

• Fixed some "type-punned" warnings produced by GCC when -fstrict-aliasing is specified (Issue #679)
• The PDF filter incorrectly calculated the bounding box of a page (Issue #682)
• The IPP backend did not use SSL when printing over a port other than 443 (Issue #730)
• The scheduler could crash when processing a Limit or LimitExcept directive (Issue #728)
• The lpq, lpr, and lp commands did not differentiate between the server being unresponsive and the lack of a default printer (Issue #728)
• The PAM checks in the configure script did not stop after the first match (Issue #728)
• The cups-config man page was incorrectly placed in section 3 (Issue #728)

• The scheduler did not return the correct exit code when startup failed (Issue #718)
• The cupsRasterReadPixels() function checked for EAGAIN, which caused problems on FreeBSD (Issue #723)
• The cupsGetDests() function did not use the current encryption setting (Issue #653)
• The scheduler did not properly parse name-based BrowseRelay directives in the cupsd.conf file (Issue #711)
• The IPP backend now supports the following options in the device URI: encryption, waitjob, and waitprinter (Issue #699)
• The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to print in the middle of sending it (Issue #715)
• Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were case-sensitive for printer and class names, so queue-specific access control was not reliable (Issue #700)
• cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue status messages in all cases, causing sporatic problems with IPP printers from some vendors (Issue #716)
• The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL language (Issue #713)
• The test suite no longer generates a printcap file, which caused problems when testing as the root user (Issue #693)

• The pstops filter didn't properly skip leading PJL commands (Issue #664)
• The reinterpret_cast keyword was not highlighted when printing C/C++ source files in prettyprint mode (Issue #694)
• Fixed a segfault problem with some of the client programs (Issue #668)
• When using RunAsUser, the scheduler did not correctly set the ownership of the log files, preventing log file rotation (Issue #686)
• The image filters did not correctly load 1-bit PNG files (Issue #687)
• The pdftops filter did not show all annotation objects in a PDF file (Issue #674)
• The pdftops filter did not print the contents of textual form elements, making it impossible to print a filled-in form (Issue #663)
• Integrated the MacOS X/Darwin USB backend into the CUPS baseline (Issue #661)
• The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray empty" (Issue #660)
• The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive comparison when checking for group membership, which caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA (Issue #647)
• The scheduler did not report the addresses associated with certain network errors, making troubleshooting difficult (Issue #648, #649)
• The cupstestppd program did not allow a default choice of "Unknown" as required by the PPD spec (Issue #651)
• The select() buffers are now allocated to be at least as large as sizeof(fd_set) (Issue #639)
• The LPD backend now supports overriding the print job username via the device URI (Issue #631)
• The scheduler did not handle an unknown MIME type when checking for a CGI script (Issue #603)
• Added a timeout optimization to the scheduler's main loop to allow CUPS to sleep more of the time (Issue #629)
• The USB backend now retries printing to devices of the form "usb://make/model" if any USB port shows up as "busy" (Issue #617)
• The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check IP address values (Issue #608)
• The httpUpdate() function could return HTTP_ERROR instead of the HTTP status if the server closed the connection before the client received the whole response (Issue #611)
• The LPD mini-daemon did not allow the administrator to force banner pages on (Issue #605)
• Added PAM support for Darwin/MacOS X (Issue #550)

• The HTTP authentication cache was broken (Issue #517)
• The cupstestppd utility now fails PPD files that have a DefaultOption keyword for a non-existance option name (Issue #476)
• Optimized the scanning of new PPD files on scheduler startup (Issue #424)
• The EPM list file did not include the bin, lib, or sbin directories (Issue #598)
• The web interface did not redirect administration tasks to the primary server for a class or printer (Issue #491, #652)
• The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not reject print jobs to queues that were rejecting new print jobs (Issue #515)
• Some calls to the ctype functions did not account for platforms that use a signed char type by default (Issue #518)
• The scheduler could use excess amounts of CPU if a CGI program was sending data faster than the client could take it (Issue #595)
• Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (Issue #484)
• The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default, which is outside of the range defined by RFC 1179; also added a new (default) "reserve=any" option for any priviledged port from 1 to 1023 (Issue #474)
• The scheduler did not check for a valid Listen/Port configuration (Issue #499)
• The cupsPrintFiles() function did not always set the last IPP error message (Issue #538)
• The pstops filter did not write the PostScript header line if the file began with a PJL escape sequence (Issue #574)
• The printer-is-accepting-jobs status of remote printers was not sent to clients via browsing or polling (Issue #571)
• Browse packets did not indicate whether a printer was accepting or rejecting jobs.
• The web interface did not show the printer state history information (Issue #592)
• The rastertoepson filter would crash under certain cirsumstances (Issue #583)
• The USB backend did not handle serial numbers using the (incorrect) SN keyword and did not terminate the make and model name strings properly (Issue #471, Issue #588)
• The USB backend did not build on Solaris x86 (Issue #585)
• The cupsDoAuthentication() function did not use the method name for Digest authentication (Issue #584)
• The scheduler could crash if a print job could not be printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned off (Issue #535)

• cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (Issue #569)
• Added localization for Belarusian (Issue #575)
• The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname when creating the data and control filenames, which causes problems with older systems that can't handle long filenames (Issue #560)
• The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other information from being updated (Issue #562)
• The scheduler did not send common or history data to the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request (Issue #559)
• The httpFlush() function did not always flush the remaining response data in requests (Issue #558)
• The scheduler could complete a job before it collected the exit status from all filters and the backend (Issue #448)
• The PPD conformance tests did not catch group translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed size (Issue #454)
• Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the client connection on errors rather than shutting down the receive end of the socket; this caused resource problems on some systems (Issue #434)
• cups-polld didn't compile on Tru64 5.1B (Issue #436)

• Updated pdftops to Xpdf 2.03 code to fix printing bugs (Issue #470)

• The web interface could lockup when displaying certain URLs (Issue #459)
• The PostScript filters now convert underscores ("_") to spaces for custom classification names (Issue #555)
