New features:
- Delegated print release. Administrators may grant users the right to release other users' print jobs. A common use for this is to allow personal assistant to release jobs printed by their manager.
- Added a "Deleted user list" report, showing recently deleted users.
- New payment integration (payment gateway module) for the Nelnet and NuVision payment services.
Enhancements:
- Cost adjustments (a feature to add or change costs at the time of printing) can now be specified per-copy, in addition to the existing per-job, per-page and percentage options. This is useful for charges like binding, which is naturally a per-copy charge.
- Added an audit message when an admin edits a job log.
- Mac/Linux: Improved print popup speed for when printing very large jobs.
- In the refund request form the "reason" field can now be marked as mandatory.
- Improved performance of the refund request system on large sites (with millions of tracked print jobs).
- Improved detection of virtual print queue misconfiguration. Messages are now displayed guiding administrators to the problem source.
- Improved logging of database connections errors to help pinpoint the cause of database connection problems.
- Hardware page count validation has been improved for better reporting of printer error statuses.
- Improved detection of potential misconfiguration when setting up printer page count hardware checks.
- Increase resilience against AD domain outages by detecting and avoiding syncing group memberships while a domain is down.
- Improvements to the Windows active-active printer cluster documentation (changes to minimize the chance of losing print job state on cluster failover).
Security:
- Fixed potential information disclosure that may have allowed a malicious user to bypass security and view the print logs of other users. This issue was detected as part of a system audit conducted by a 3rd party security company.
Fixes:
- Fixed issue with the printer filter option "Only apply filters to restricted users", which was applying when unrestricted users charged to a restricted shared account.
- Fixed issue accessing the user web interface from an iPhone.
- Adjusting user balances now only requires the admin right "perform adjustments & charges" and not "change user settings" as well.
- When performing a secondary print server installation on a Windows system with UAC enabled, the config file is now opened with correct administrator privileges after the installation so that the file can be saved.
- Improved reliability of Find-Me Printing under situations where the print provider service is restarted unexpectedly.
- Fixed connectivity issues with the client tool on Mac OS 10.6.8 systems with unusual IPv6 address formats.
- Fixed sorting in the "Shared Account List" report on some databases.
- Fixed some problems with the included example "Web Print" printer maps images.
- Suppress CUPS-specific warning message when installing on Novell with iPrint.
- Fixed a rare error that could be triggered by the Windows print provider during system shutdown.
- Fixed problems syncing against Active Directory OUs with certain Chinese characters in the name.
- Fixed display of PDF reports in Greek.
Printer compatibility improvements:
- All-round improvements to page-level color detection for PostScript drivers.
- Improved detection for Ricoh GDI print jobs.
- Added support for the Brother MFC-J6710 and related printers.
- Improved page counting for PCL6 documents printed in booklet mode.
- Improved color detection for HP devices using various JetReady formats.
- Fixed a copy count detection problem that may have occurred when printing from Excel on an HP K550.
- Improved page size detection for "A3WIDE" on Ricoh Aficio 20xx PLC6 printer drivers
