bug and security fixes, improvements to the efficiency of the server and
utilities, improvements to the documentation, plus the following:
* Security updates - new default configuration does not broadcast
printer information and only allows access from the local system.
* EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally supports TLS/SSL
encryption via the OpenSSL library.
* Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
* Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
* Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to snprintf's, even if
the destination buffer is larger than the source string(s); this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and global variables,
even if the destination buffer is larger than the source string; this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw printing of PCL and
ESC/P files; PJL headers are parsed to differentiate between
PostScript and PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of the
reports of SAMBA printing problems due to the missing "-oraw" or "-l"
options.
* Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class round-robin style. This
should prevent the first server in the class from bearing the brunt of
the jobs.
* The serial backend didn't support the higher baud rates with the old
termios interface. It now supports 57600 and 115200 baud.
* The serial backend now supports different types of flow control;
previously it ignored the flow=XYZ option in the device URI.
* The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control, which is popular
on dot-matrix printers (access with "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
* Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for jobs. The new
attribute provides the hostname or IP address of the machine that
submitted the job.
* Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers and classes.

the author to make this package compile more seamlessly on BSD systems,
and in particular with the NetBSD pkgsrc software collection.
CUPS 1.1 is the newest production (stable) release of CUPS. It
provides many new features from the 1.0.x releases, including a
new Level 3 PostScript RIP, a new PDF filter, EPSON printer
drivers, IPP/1.1 support, banner page support, and LPD client
support. Binaries for several platforms are also available.
Major changes in v1.1 include:
- The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
- Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
PDF support.
- The web administration interface now allows you to set
the default banner pages.
- Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
"position" option.
- Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
this should fix problems with serial printing on old
serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
driver under Solaris 2.7.
- Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
cupsd.
- Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
when the scheduler is started.
- Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
printer.
- Old job and control files that don't belong to a
printer are automatically deleted.
- cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
- The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
request fails.
