[cups.general] [ANNOUNCE] accsnmp 1.03

[Jeff Hardy]

Hello,

I am happy to announce that accsnmp 1.03 is now available.  Accsnmp is 
an accounting wrapper backend for CUPS that queries a printer's page 
counter over SNMP both before and after a job to arrive at a job page 
count.  For full details, see http://cups.org/links.php?V130.

This release includes several features and fixes:

- All script variables can be overridden on a per-queue basis using new
"qconf" configuration file format.

- New config variables acc_factor and acc_precision, to allow for custom 
per-queue page accounting, and even fractional values.

- New config variables lock_file and lock_alarm, to allow for multiple 
accsnmp queues to safely share one printer.

- Fixed a logic error when backend attempts = 1 that caused the backend 
to bail out with an error but still print.

- Much better debug output

- Page log format updated for better clarity

It has been tested heavily against cups-1.2.x, lightly against 
cups-1.3.x, and particularly against cups-1.4.x.  Cheers.

-Jeff
