The new release fixes some platform-specific build problems, web interface issues, PDF and PostScript filter option handling, and a number of minor bugs discovered during routine code audits.

Changes include:

    * Documentation updates (STR #2646, STR #2647, STR #2649)
    * Fixed a problem with the web interface "Use Kerberos Authentication" check box (STR #2703)
    * The scheduler unconditionally overwrote the printer-state- message with "process-name failed" when a filter or backend failed, preventing a useful error message from being shown to the user.
    * Policies on CUPS-Move-Job didn't work as expected (STR #2699)
    * The configure script only supported D-BUS on Linux (STR #2702)

    * The scheduler did not support printer supply attributes (STR #1307)
    * The Kerberos credentials provided by some Windows KDCs were still too large - now use a dynamic buffer to support credentials up to 64k in size (STR #2695)
    * Printing a test page from the web interface incorrectly defaulted to the "guest" user (STR #2688)
    * The cupsEncodeOptions2() function did not parse multiple- value attribute values properly (STR #2690)
    * The scheduler incorrectly sent printer-stopped events for status updates from the print filters (STR #2680)
    * The IPP backend could crash when handling printer errors (STR #2667)
    * Multi-file jobs did not print to remote CUPS servers (STR #2673)
    * The scheduler did not provide the Apple language ID to job filters.
    * Kerberos authentication did not work with the web interface (STR #2606, STR #2669)
    * The requesing-user-name-allowed and -denied functionality did not work for Kerberos-authenticated usernames (STR #2670)
    * CUPS didn't compile on HP-UX 11i (STR #2679)
    * cupsEncodeOptions2() did not handle option values like "What's up, doc?" properly.
    * Added lots of memory allocation checks (Fortify)
    * The scheduler would crash if it was unable to add a job file (Fortify)
    * ppdOpen*() did not check all memory allocations (Coverity)
    * ippReadIO() did not check all memory allocations (Coverity)
    * The PostScript filter did not detect read errors (Coverity)
    * The scheduler did not check for a missing job-sheets-completed attribute when sending an event notification (Coverity)
    * "Set Printer Options" might not work with raw queues (Coverity)
    * cupsRasterInterpretPPD() could crash on certain PostScript errors (Coverity)
    * The USB backend did not check for back-channel support properly on all systems (Coverity)
    * Fixed memory leaks in the GIF and PNM image loading code (Coverity)
    * Removed some dead code in the CUPS API and scheduler (Coverity)
    * Fixed two overflow bugs in the HP-GL/2 filter (Coverity)
    * Fixed another ASN1 string parsing bug (STR #2665)
    * The RSS notifier directory was not installed with the correct permissions.
    * The standard CUPS backends could use 100% CPU while waiting for print data (STR #2664)
    * Filename-based MIME rules did not work (STR #2659)
    * The cups-polld program did not exit if the scheduler crashed (STR #2640)
    * The scheduler would crash if you tried to set the port-monitor on a raw queue (STR #2639)
    * The scheduler could crash if a polled remote printer was converted to a class (STR #2656)
    * The web interface and cupsctl did not correctly reflect the "allow printing from the Internet" state (STR #2650)
    * The scheduler incorrectly treated MIME types as case- sensitive (STR #2657)

    * The PDF filter incorrectly filtered pages when page-ranges and number-up were both specified (STR #2643)
    * The IPP backend did not handle printing of pictwps files to a non-Mac CUPS server properly.
    * The scheduler did not detect network interface changes on operating systems other than Mac OS X (STR #2631)
    * The scheduler now logs the UNIX error message when it is unable to create a request file such as a print job.
    * Added support for --enable-pie on Mac OS X.
