The fourth release candidate for version 1.1.20 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 Thursday, October 30th 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 1.1.20, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.20 is primarily a bug fix and performance tuning
release and includes fixes for 64-bit platforms, deadlock
problems in the signal handling code, PDF printing issues, web
interface issues, and various operating system-specific issues.
The new release also adds new CUPS API functions for reading and
writing files via HTTP, performing authentication, and
controlling the required PPD conformance level.

CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4

	- The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
	  in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
	- The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
	  early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
	- The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
	  names, which caused some problems with the generated
	  URLs (STR #320)
	- CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
	  option (STR #331)
