  • The scheduler now supports the "first-index" operation attribute for the Get-Jobs operation (Issue #2913)
  • Changed the default AccessLogLevel and PageLogFormat to disable the access_log and page_log files by default (rdar://problem/16495000)
  • cupsRasterInterpretPPD now supports the Orientation header in order to support long-edge feed raster printers (rdar://problem/15837926)

  • The filter/backend sandbox on OS X now defaults to a more strict whitelist (rdar://problem/15939788)
  • Increased the default idle exit timeout to 60 seconds on OS X (rdar://problem/16041820)
