| and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for |
| HTTP requests. |
| - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the |
| "administrative" operations separately from the "printer |
| control" operations so that it is easier to define a |
| group of users that are "printer operators". |
| - The web interface now pulls the default cupsd.conf file |
| from cupsd.conf.default in the CUPS config directory. |

| compiler and include all of the localized languages by |
| default (STR #2164) |
| - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf |
| file to use the default authentication defined by the |
| DefaultAuthType directive. |

| - Added a new ppdLocalizeIPPReason() function to get the |
| localized text/URI for a given IPP reason keyword for a |

| a very small subset of HP DeskJet printers and was |
| confusing to users. The rastertohp driver still |
| supports the deskjet2.ppd options for existing queues. |
| - The scheduler did not add a trailing banner page if a |
| client did not specify the last document in a job (STR |

| from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR |
| #2383) |
| - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the |
| ppd-type attribute based on the cupsFax and cupsFilter |
| attributes in a PPD file (STR #2383) |
| - Added a new printer attribute called "cups-version" |
| which reports the version of CUPS that is running |
| (STR #2240) |
| - backendRunLoop() now aborts immediately on SIGTERM |
| if no data has been written yet (STR #2103) |
| - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP |
| backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead, |
| it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100 |
| (socket://address) and 515 (lpd://address) printing |

| icons, profiles, and dialog extensions (STR #2326) |

| functions to get the current index and insertion |
| positions of an array. |
