| - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web |
| interface so that you can set the list of allowed or |
| denied users/groups for a printer or class. |
| - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it |
| has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in |
| URIs (STR #917, STR #1202) |
| - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and |
| support for it to the texttops filter so that you can |

| #842) |

| format on systems that support device ID queries. |
| - Forced classification markings did not work when the |
| job-sheets parameters were "none,none". |

| even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR |
| #801) |
| - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients |
| without using the SSLPort/SSLListen directives. |
| - The CUPS API and scheduler no longer support SSLv2- |
| encrypted connections. |
| - Updated the cupsaddsmb utility to correctly export the |
| CUPS driver for Windows. |
| - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which |
| ultimately caused the server to print multiple copies |
| when it was busy (STR #1184) |
| - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when |
| opening files in append mode (STR #990) |
| - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially |
| private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with |
| other implementations with the same name. |

| fonts (STR #1093) |

| consistent. |
| - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP |
| filters to setup the raster page header from |
| PostScript commands in a PPD file. |
| - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit |
| to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the |
| server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully |
| (STR #793) |
| - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf |
| and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form |
| "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket". |
