CUPS 1.2.5 fixes minor printing, networking, and documentation issues and adds support for older versions of DBUS and a translation for Estonian. Changes include:

    * Documentation updates (STR #2038)
    * The SNMP backend no longer uses IPP for Epson printers (STR #2028)
    * Updated the configure script for Tru64 UNIX 5.1 (STR #2033)
    * Tru64 5.1B's getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions leak file descriptors (STR #2034)
    * cupsAddDest() didn't add the parent destination's options and attributes.
    * ppdConflicts() did not handle custom option constraints.
    * Raw printing of gzip'd files did not work (STR #2009)
    * The scheduler no longer preserves default option choices when the new PPD no longer provides the old default choice (STR #1929)

    * The scheduler didn't log the operation name in the access_log file for Create-Job and Print-Job requests.

    * Added an Estonian translation (STR #1957)
    * Clarified the documentation for the cupsd.conf @LOCAL and @IF(name) allow/deny functionality (STR #1992)
    * The PostScript filters did not escape the Title and For comments in the print job header (STR #1988)
    * The scheduler would use 100% CPU if browsing was disabled and the cupsd.conf file contained BrowsePoll lines (STR #1994)

    * The cupsFile functions didn't handle read/write errors properly (STR #1996)
