 cups-1.3.10-5.fc9 (FEDORA-2009-4052)
 Common Unix Printing System
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes three problems introduced in the previous update.  The more
strict requirement for clients to include a printer-uri attribute in IPP-Get-
Jobs IPP requests has been temporarily relaxed until older clients have been
fixed.  The hostname checking did not accept the "ServerName" value if not also
listed as an alias.  The IPv6 address "::1" was not accepted as a valid Host:
value for a local connection.    It also adds a line to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to
disable validity checking of the HTTP Host header for incoming connections, if
no server aliases have yet been defined.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Wed May  6 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh at redhat.com> 1:1.3.10-5
- Restart cupsd if "ServerAlias *" is added to cupsd.conf
  (bug #497354).
- Ship "ServerAlias *" in cupsd.conf.default configuration file as
  well (bug #498884).
* Mon Apr 27 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh at redhat.com> 1:1.3.10-4
- Adjust cupsd.conf by adding "ServerAlias *" automatically on upgrade
  (part of bug #497301).  The default cupsd.conf now includes this
  line as well.
* Sun Apr 26 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh at redhat.com> 1:1.3.10-2
- Accept "Host: ::1" (bug #497393).
- Accept Host: fields set to the ServerName value (bug #497301).
- Temporarily relax requirement to have printer-uri attribute in
  IPP-Get-Jobs request (bug #497519).
