The first release candidate for version 1.1.22 of the Common
UNIX Printing System ("CUPS") is now available for download from
the CUPS web site at:

     http://www.cups.org/software.php

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan, you
now have until Monday, October 18th to test this release
candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems
and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

     http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.22, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.22 is a bug fix release which fixes device URI logging,
file descriptor and memory leaks, crashes related to printer
browsing, and error handling in the browsing code. The new
release also adds support for PostScript files from other
Windows PostScript drivers.
