CUPS 1.4.x is no longer maintained by upstream which is the reason to upgrade to version 1.5.0.

Backward incompatible changes: [...]

* CUPS no longer supports the old ~/.cupsrc or ~/.lpoptions files from CUPS 1.1.x. The ~/.cups/client.conf and ~/.cups/lpoptions files that were introduced in CUPS 1.2 must now be used. * The scheduler now requires that filters and backends have group write permissions disabled (security).

Those two changes should be mentioned in the release notes IMHO. Your text quoted above already looks good, the only thing I'd add is: If you use thirt party printer drivers from manufacturers, you might need to adjust the permissions manually. ----------------------------------------------------- I propose the following text for the release notes (mostly stolen ;-) from Johannes' and my mail - Johannes, please correct it if something is wrong!) CUPS was updated to version 1.5.0 which contains some backward incompatible changes: * CUPS no longer supports the old ~/.cupsrc or ~/.lpoptions files from CUPS 1.1.x. The ~/.cups/client.conf and ~/.cups/lpoptions files that were introduced in CUPS 1.2 must now be used. * The scheduler now requires that filters and backends have group write permissions disabled (security). If you use third party printer drivers from manufacturers, you might need to adjust the permissions manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
