SYMPTOM:

ATPS.NLM v4.11 Pre-Release
--------------------------
Changes from v4.10:

1) The print server no longer sends a PAP EOF after detecting "%%EOF" in binary PostScript data streams. Fixes SPD #94829.

2) No longer output a warning message about bindery logins failing unless operating in bindery mode. Fixes SPD #104688.

3) Fixed a problem where the spooler might report a "queue not found" error (820) if disabled. Fixes SPD #84177.

4) Supported the decoding of escaped special characters in PostScript ADSC comments. Fixes SPD #82435.

5) Fixed problem with hanging due to missing font list file. Fixes SPD #84171.

6) Added some new messages; should go through a translator pass when possible.

7) Enhanced the prepfix() routine which turns .PRS into .PRI files to handle procsets commented by "%%Begin/EndResource: procset".

8) To avoid DS synchronization problem, the print server should retry attempts to attach to the queue if "object not found" is returned.

9) Implemented "two strikes" feature for bad PostScript which causes the printer to reboot. The printer server put a job on user hold if it experiences a PAP time-out twice in a row.

10) Set necessary DS API flags so that ATPS can use queue alias objects transparently.

11) If the "*Product" keyword appears more than once in a PPD file, use the first instance.

12) Fixed a problem parsing info from PPD files in Macintosh format (i.e., with carriage return terminated lines).

13) Added an option to support LaserWriter 8/PSPrinter installable option queries. Parse the queries from the spooler's PPD file and use them to query the printer to get the answers. Requires that server and user PPD files agree on the installable options.

14) To support configurations where there is no query source, added spooler config option so the administrator can define installable options at the spooler. The keyword "PPD Option=<option>/<value>" may be added to the *.SPL file.

15) Added an option to support PostScript printers that do not reliably echo back PAP EOF's, which can cause a the printer server to hang. Adding "Verify Completion=No" to the *.PRN file causes the printer server to close the PAP connection as soon as all data is sent.

16) Refresh ImageWriter query information and status periodically, similarly to PostScript queries.

17) If a spooler is being disabled, don't stop NBP advertising until all jobs are complete. Otherwise, LaserWriter driver PAPStatus() calls fail and printing is aborted.

18) Added support for parsing title and user from GDT Softworks PowerPrint drivers. Improved DeskWriter support.

19) Add short delay in responding to product queries to work around LW 7.2 set-up timing bug.

20) Support new "RBIAppleDevice" query made by LaserWriter 8.3 and "GXIsBinaryOK?" query to be made by future versions of GX.

21) Added spooler support for DeskWriter 540, 600, 660C.


ATPSCon 4.11 Pre-Release
------------------------
9/18/95

Changes from 4.10 version of ATPSCon:

1) Fixed a problem where quick configuration files discarded by the the user would still be reported to ATPS for enabling.

2) Fixed a problem where quick configuration overwrote exisitng configuration files without telling ATPS to disable them.

3) Restored old functionality which allowed quick configurations to access an existing queue

4) Support display and selection of DS print queue alias objects


AFP 4.10a Pre-Release
---------------------
8/10/95

Changes from 4.10 version of AFP:

1) Fixed server ABEND problem caused when the Desktop Database Rebuilder is executed.

2) Fixed a volume rename problem. If a volume was originally titled User_Disk, and then was changed to UserDisk, after the desktop was rebuilt, it showed up as UserDiskK.

3) Fixed a problem when volume names are similar and have a period in the name, the wrong volume mounts on the desktop.


APPLETLK 5.00e Release
----------------------
Changes from 5.00 version of APPLETLK:

1) Fixed multiple abend problems.

2) Fixed printing problems seen with prior versions of AppleTalk ver 5.00b & 5.00c.

-------------------------
8/29/95

Changes from version 4.10 of MAC.NAM:

1) Fixed a problem where the Macintosh name space should truncate names longer than 31 instead of 32 characters. The Macintosh system only supports 31 character file names.

SOLUTION:

Update server with all files.
