3cc7bca4 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
5
549d1888 6 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
7 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
8 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 9 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
10 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 11 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
12 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
13 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
14 scheduler.
15 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
16 scheduler so that the printer object information is
17 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
18 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
19 queues.
854d3bb2 20 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
21 filename.
137d4d44 22 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
23 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
24 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
25 automatic form feed.
26 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 27 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
28 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 29 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
30 MacOS X.
31 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
32 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
33 has been removed.
34
35
06415a96 36CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
37
727e6d14 38 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
39 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
40 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
41 printer.
42 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
43 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 44 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
45 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
46 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 47 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
48 you can display completed jobs as well as
49 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 50 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
51 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
52 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 53 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
54 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
55 occurs.
db628f45 56 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
57 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 58 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
59 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
60 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
61 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
62 the page number.
da312e94 63 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
64 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 65 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 66 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
67 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
68 banner pages.
25037b2b 69 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
70 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
71 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 72 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 73 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
74 reliably.
a9219725 75 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
76 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
77 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
78 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 79 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
80 connection when sending an error that requires the
81 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
82 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
83 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 84 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
85 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
86 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
87 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 88 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
89 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
90 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
91 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 92 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
93 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 94 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
95 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 96 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
97 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 98 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
99 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 100 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
101 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
102 defines a circular filter rule.
103 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
104 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 105 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
106 files.
5ca43bfd 107 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
108 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 109 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
110 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
111 compatibility).
879062a9 112 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 113 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
114 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
115 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 116 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
117 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 118 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
119 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
120 shutdown.
098f80c5 121 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
122 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
123 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 124 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
125 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
126 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
127 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 128 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
129 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
130 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 131 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
132 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 133 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
134 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
135 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
136 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 137 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
138 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
139 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 140 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
141 connect to the remote server name in a
142 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
143 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
144 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
145 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 146 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
147 the program would try to print the option letter that
148 caused the error using the wrong index into the
149 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 150 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
151 attributes from printer options in
152 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 153 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
154 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 155 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 156 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
157 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 158 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
159 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
160 characters.
161 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
162 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
163 the language mode.
164 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
165 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
166 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
167 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
168 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 169 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 170 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
171 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 172 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
173 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 174 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
175 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
176 driver.
997cf8b0 177 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
178 the next available printer rather than waiting until
179 that printer is available.
180 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
181 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
182 printer class instead of a normal printer.
183 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
184 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
185 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 186 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
187 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
188 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
189 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 190 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
191 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
192 to accept connections.
193 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
194 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
195 and current directory.
196 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
197 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
198 into the file type database would no longer be valid
199 for existing jobs.
200 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
201 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
202 actually provided.
203 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 204 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
205 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 206 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
207 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 208 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
209 case-insensitive.
210 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
211 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 212 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
213 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
214 Solaris.
b91c8a76 215 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
216 printing banner pages.
4f759211 217 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 218 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
219 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 220 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
221 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 222 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
223 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
224 file.
8ce19460 225 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
226 description from member printers.
fabb006b 227 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
228 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 229 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 230 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
231 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 232 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
233 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 234 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
235 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
236 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 237 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
238 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
239 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
240 up...
19e7b382 241 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
242 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
243 authentication didn't work for administration
244 operations.
103abc03 245 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
246 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 247 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
248 interface to "localhost".
249 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
250 response to queue state commands, but those commands
251 only return textual data.
252
253
7680b71d 254CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
255
256 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
257 string function header, which is required on systems
258 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
259 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
260 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
261 have to.
262
263
74cfdb8b 264CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
265
dab1a4d8 266 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
267 license exception.
611e4623 268 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
269 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 270 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
271 option if none is provided to automatically select the
272 correct tray.
ed6078a4 273 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
274 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
275 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
276 options.
277 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
278 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
279 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 280 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
281 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
282 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
283 queues) on the server.
284 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
285 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
286 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
287 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 288 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
289 set definitions.
a319615f 290 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
291 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 292 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
293 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 294 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 295 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 296 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
297 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 298 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
299 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 300 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
301 have a small comment header explaining where the file
302 comes from...
6df23e27 303 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 304 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 305 number-up-layout options.
415199da 306 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
307 using the default printer.
308 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
309 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
310 to allow for longer printer names.
311 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
312 history data.
313 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
314 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
315 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
316 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 317 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
318 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
319 caused problems on some installations that would
320 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
321 level 3.
322 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 323 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
324 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 325 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
326 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 327 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
328 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 329 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 330 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
331 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
332 (cupsd).
a4e23897 333 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
334 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
335 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
336 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 337 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
338 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
339 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
340 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
341 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
342 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
343 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
344 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
345 non-ISOLatin1 text.
346 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
347 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
348 of glyphs.
576b82ca 349 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
350 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
351 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
352 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 353 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
354 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
355 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
356 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
357 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 358 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
359 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 360 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
361 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 362 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
363 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 364 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
365 classes.
7200e26c 366 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
367 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
368 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 369 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
370 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
371 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
372 control and browsing based on the current interface
373 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 374 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
375 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 376 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
377 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
378 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
379 group.
f4647930 380 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
381 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 382 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
383 detects that the printer is not connected to the
384 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
385 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
386 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
387 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 388 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
389 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 390 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
391 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 392 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
393 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 394 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
395 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 396 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
397 generated dependencies.
398 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 399 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
400 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
401 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 402 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
403 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
404 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 405 - The backends now read print data using the read()
406 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
407 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 408 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
409 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 410 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
411 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
412 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
413 printers and classes all at once.
414 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
415 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 416 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
417 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
418 value.
1c9c423b 419 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
420 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
421 other options as strings.
f918a565 422 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
423 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
424 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 425 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
426 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
427 option.
74cfdb8b 428 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
429 integers and ranges.
430 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
431 language support for CUPS.
432
433
ee8b7dd3 434CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
435
843779ef 436 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 437 attribute name length or string with language value
438 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 439 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
440 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
441 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 442 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 443 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
444 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 445 - MacOS X fixes.
446 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
447 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
448 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
449 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 450 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
451 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
452 it from waiting for the job to complete when
453 communicating with some IPP implementations that
454 require it.
455
456
d2503e02 457CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
458
28a96fe2 459 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
460 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 461 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
462 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
463 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 464 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
465 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
466 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
467 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
468 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 469 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
470 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
471 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
472 *.convs files.
db911fcb 473 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
474 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
475 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
476 goes away.
7c587866 477 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
478 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 479 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 480 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 481 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 482 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
483 portion of the printer name, and since it would
484 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
485 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 486 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
487 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 488 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
489 connections to improve performance/response time.
490 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
491 from Andrea Suatoni.
492 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
493 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
494 tools support.
495 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
496 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
497 existed.
498 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
499 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 500 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
501 page-set option.
873a6f43 502 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
503 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 504 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
505 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
506 etc.)
bd73c81f 507 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
508 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
509 listing for a printer.
510 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
511 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
512 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 513 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
514 values.
dd5f3453 515 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
516 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 517 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
518 - Updated the Italian message translations.
519 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
520 files.
521 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
522 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 523 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
524 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
525 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 526 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
527 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 528 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
529 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 530 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
531 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 532 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
533 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
534 classification level, if set. This way the original
535 banner settings are preserved when classification
536 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 537 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
538 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 539 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
540 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
541 system default group was not used.
542 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
543 send multiple control files.
544 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
545 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
546 for the "https" scheme.
547 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
548 from the web interface for accounts other than
549 "root".
550 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
551 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
552 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
553 address properly.
554 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
555 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
556 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
557 inside a Location, which is not valid.
558 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
559 information under Linux.
560 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
561 option (if present) in PPD files.
562 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
563 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
564 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
565 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
566 the lppasswd command.
567 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
568 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
569 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
570 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
571 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
572 directory and configuration files are owned by and
573 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
574 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
575 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
576 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
577 restarting cupsd.
578 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
579 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
580 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
581 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
582 for commands on the standard input.
583 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
584 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
585 pointer platforms...
586
587
588CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
589
590 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
591 files.
592 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
593 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
594 destination type for the new destination.
595 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
596 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
597 printer ACLs.
598 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
599 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
600 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
601 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
602 printer-make-and-model attribute.
603
604
605CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
606
607 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
608 files.
609 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
610 files.
611 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
612 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
613 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
614 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
615 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
616 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
617 the device list (lpinfo -m).
618 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
619 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
620 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
621 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
622 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
623 increment. [this caused some versions of the
624 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
625 options exceeded 100...]
626 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
627 was set to "No".
628 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
629 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
630 infinite loop when accepting a request.
631 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
632 functions to make IPP request/response processing
633 faster.
634 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
635 support properly support the "-h" or default
636 server name.
637 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
638 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
639 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
640 support printer instances.
641 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
642 underline formatting.
643 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
644 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
645 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
646 (-1).
647 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
648 from printing to printers in that class.
649 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
650 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
651 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
652 slower systems since more information had to be
653 transferred from server to client.
654 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
655 things like the job title. This had the potential for
656 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
657 machine); bug report from SuSE.
658 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
659 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
660 processing.
661 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
662 to stderr instead of stdout...
663 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
664 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
665 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
666 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
667 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
668 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
669 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
670 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
671 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
672 the Spanish banner files.
673 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
674 language abbreviation to use for all supported
675 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
676 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
677 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
678 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
679 anonymous printing (no username specified).
680 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
681 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
682 information when printing via LPD.
683 - Added many warning and informational messages
684 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
685 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
686 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
687 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
688 provided.
689 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
690 cupsd.conf.
691 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
692 32k.
693 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
694 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
695 possible.
696 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
697 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
698 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
699 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
700 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
701 long values.
702 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
703 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
704 to CGIs.
705 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
706 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
707 time.
708 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
709 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
710 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
711 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
712 result in a blank page being output...
713 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
714 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
715 page comments when printing files directly...)
716 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
717 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
718 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
719 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
720 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
721 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
722 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
723 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
724 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
725 original destination.
726 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
727 requested-attributes attribute in the
728 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
729 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
730 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
731 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
732 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
733 prints.
734
735
736CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
737
738 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
739 makefiles to install files properly.
740
741
742CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
743
744 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
745 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
746 to override the classification of individual jobs.
747 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
748 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
749 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
750 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
751 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
752 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
753 server.
754 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
755 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
756 with some types of flow control.
757 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
758 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
759 server.
760 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
761 lines in the configuration files.
762 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
763 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
764 from the server.
765 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
766 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
767 to the file: pseudo-backend.
768 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
769 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
770 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
771 script. Previously the job's document format was
772 used, which was incorrect.
773 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
774 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
775 "raw" model from the command-line.
776 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
777 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
778 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
779 printers.
780 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
781 Chinese text support compiled into it.
782 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
783 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
784 which caused some confusion... :)
785 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
786 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
787
788
789CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
790
791 - The configure script did not substitute the
792 correct user and group names.
793 - The configure script did not use the full path
794 to the install-sh script when it was used.
795 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
796 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
797 duplexing.
798 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
799 distribution.
800 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
801 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
802 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
803 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
804 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
805 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
806 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
807 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
808 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
809 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
810 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
811 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
812
813
814CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
815
816 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
817 approach for the various tests.
818 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
819 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
820 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
821 options to specify the default user and group for
822 CUPS.
823 - Added AIX shared library support.
824 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
825 parallel ports.
826 - Now use install program or script to install
827 directories, files, and symlinks.
828 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
829 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
830 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
831 print.
832 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
833 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
834 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
835 64-bit boundary.
836 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
837 skip the Digest keyword.
838 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
839 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
840 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
841 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
842 authentication from passwd.md5.
843 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
844 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
845 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
846 PPD files should start much faster now.
847 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
848 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
849 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
850 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
851 times.
852 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
853 code if an error occurred.
854 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
855 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
856 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
857 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
858 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
859 eliminates the buffer start bug.
860 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
861 the receiving device didn't support the copies
862 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
863 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
864 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
865 copies would come out instead of N.
866 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
867 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
868 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
869 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
870 output an even number of pages.
871 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
872 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
873 from being cancelled early.
874 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
875 instances, and options that are not defined by the
876 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
877 options from being used in individual user accounts.
878 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
879 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
880 "ESC i" graphics command.
881 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
882 printers to a local class.
883 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
884 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
885 - The scheduler did not load or save the
886 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
887 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
888 printers that were part of a class.
889 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
890 printer more than once.
891 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
892 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
893 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
894 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
895 account.
896 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
897 against a location of "/printers/name".
898 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
899 upgrades properly.
900 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
901 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
902 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
903 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
904 when using Digest authentication.
905 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
906 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
907 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
908 file.
909 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
910 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
911 server.
912 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
913 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
914 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
915 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
916 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
917 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
918 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
919 not the empty string.
920 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
921 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
922 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
923 unsupported attributes which should normally be
924 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
925 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
926 supported file types into the
927 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
928 clients to not send the local file type (such as
929 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
930 corresponding bad output in some cases.
931 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
932 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
933 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
934 or behave irratically.
935 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
936 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
937 specified.
938 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
939 completed or reported as "pending-held".
940 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
941 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
942 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
943 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
944 retrieve and update the server configuration files
945 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
946 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
947 location or description of the printer.
948 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
949 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
950 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
951 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
952 multiple groups.
953 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
954 Apache.
955 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
956 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
957 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
958 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
959 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
960 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
961 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
962 the page-ranges option from working properly.
963 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
964 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
965 Ghostscript code.
966 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
967 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
968 size instead of percent of page size.)
969 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
970 instead of root.
971 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
972 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
973 size options.
974 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
975 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
976 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
977 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
978 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
979 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
980 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
981 character.
982
983
984CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
985
986 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
987 package for pstoraster.
988 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
989 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
990 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
991 Guiliani for finding this bug!
992 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
993 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
994 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
995 - The IPP backend did not handle the
996 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
997 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
998 to stop on client machines when the server had job
999 history disabled.
1000 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1001 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1002 connections initially.
1003 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1004 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1005 throughout.
1006 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1007 Richard Begg.)
1008 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1009 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1010 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1011 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1012 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1013 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1014 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1015 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1016 #54489...
1017 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1018 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1019 (only affects page-label and Classification
1020 options.)
1021 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1022 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1023
1024
1025CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1026
1027 - Configuration script changes, including new
1028 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1029 documentation and web content according to your
1030 favorite version of the FHS.
1031 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1032 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1033 test CUPS prior to installation.
1034 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1035 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1036 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1037 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1038 directives.
1039 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1040 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1041 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1042 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1043 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1044 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1045 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1046 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1047 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1048 formats are supported at present.)
1049 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1050 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1051 all browsing off.
1052 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1053 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1054 document.
1055 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1056 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1057 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1058 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1059 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1060 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1061 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1062 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1063 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1064 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1065 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1066 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1067 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1068 server.
1069 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1070 PJL commands from PPD files.
1071 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1072 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1073 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1074 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1075 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1076 the next/current job in the queue.
1077 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1078 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1079 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1080 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1081 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1082 for Sun Raster images.
1083 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1084 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1085 function.
1086 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1087 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1088 command when printing to USB devices.
1089 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1090 the cupsd.conf file.
1091 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1092 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1093 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1094 /dev/urandom.
1095 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1096 httpGetSubField().
1097 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1098 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1099 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1100 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1101 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1102 CGI was currently running.
1103 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1104 option=true or option=false.
1105 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1106 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1107 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1108 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1109 could cause it to crash.
1110 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1111 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1112 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1113 attribute when altering a job.
1114 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1115 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1116 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1117 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1118 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1119 addresses.
1120 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1121 the current classification on each page.
1122 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1123 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1124 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1125 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1126 encryption.
1127 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1128 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1129 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1130 support instances.
1131 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1132 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1133 and should never be used in a production environment.
1134 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1135 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1136 interface.
1137 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1138 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1139 prevent caching of the results.
1140 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1141 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1142 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1143 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1144 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1145 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1146 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1147 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1148 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1149 submitted by a user.
1150 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1151 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1152 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1153 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1154 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1155 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1156 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1157 embedded spaces.
1158 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1159 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1160 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1161 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1162 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1163 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1164 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1165 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1166 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1167 by the GIMP.
1168 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1169 bypassed the authentication checks.
1170 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1171 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1172 a race condition between the client and server for the
1173 upgrade to TLS.
1174 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1175 the pstops filter.
1176 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1177 the custom page size in the raster header.
1178 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1179 size to the size of the printed image.
1180 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1181 which are required by some printers.
1182 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1183 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1184 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1185 DSC).
1186 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1187 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1188 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1189 driver.
1190 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1191 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1192 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1193 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1194 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1195 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1196 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1197 address this problem.
1198 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1199 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1200 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1201 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1202 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1203 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1204 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1205 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1206 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1207 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1208 to manage print jobs.
1209 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1210 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1211 of 0 length.
1212 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1213 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1214 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1215
1216
1217CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1218
1219 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1220 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1221 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1222 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1223 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1224 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1225 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1226 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1227 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1228 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1229 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1230 /dev/ulptN.
1231 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1232 classes it was a member of.
1233 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1234 implicit status of a class.
1235 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1236 from implicit classes.
1237 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1238 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1239 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1240 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1241 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1242 of the scheduler.
1243 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1244 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1245 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1246 the /#copies variable anymore.
1247 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1248 option.
1249 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1250 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1251 for a bad-request error)
1252 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1253 unimplemented, not invalid.
1254 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1255 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1256 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1257 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1258 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1259 (pstoraster).
1260 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1261 which are not used.
1262 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1263 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1264 cgi_initialize_string().
1265 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1266 ippSetCGIVars()
1267 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1268 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1269 leaks.
1270 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1271 fails.
1272 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1273 setuid() calls.
1274 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1275 calls.
1276 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1277 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1278 bad input.
1279 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1280 missing hex digits.
1281
1282
1283CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1284
1285 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1286 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1287 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1288 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1289 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1290 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1291 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1292 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1293 corruption on many printers)
1294 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1295 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1296 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1297 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1298 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1299 requests.
1300 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1301 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1302 was lost.
1303 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1304 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1305 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1306 to be used for a socket.
1307 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1308 a set were numeric or string types.
1309 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1310 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1311 reading *.conf files.
1312 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1313 same logic as GET requests.
1314 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1315 /index.html to requested directory name.
1316 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1317 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1318 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1319 instead of mode 0600.
1320 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1321 instead of 0600.
1322 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1323 system name in log filenames.
1324 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1325 and hex strings.
1326
1327
1328CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1329
1330 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1331 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1332 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1333
1334
1335CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1336
1337 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1338 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1339 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1340 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1341 filter programs properly.
1342 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1343 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1344 versions of GCC.
1345 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1346 cancelled in StartJob().
1347 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1348 written with restricted permissions.
1349 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1350 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1351 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1352 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1353 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1354 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1355 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1356 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1357 syslog file.
1358 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1359 and only specifies the document format if it is
1360 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1361 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1362 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1363 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1364 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1365 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1366 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1367 cancelled.
1368 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1369 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1370 sporatic web interface problems.
1371 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1372 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1373 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1374 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1375 whitespace.
1376 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1377 instead of an integer.
1378 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1379 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1380 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1381 and user-level access control.
1382 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1383 encryption.
1384 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1385 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1386 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1387 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1388 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1389 to the man page.
1390 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1391 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1392 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1393 queued for a printer.
1394 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1395 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1396 reporting.
1397
1398
1399CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1400
1401 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1402 code.
1403 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1404 check in backend/serial.c.
1405 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1406 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1407 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1408 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1409 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1410 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1411 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1412 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1413 anyways)
1414
1415
1416CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1417
1418 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1419 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1420 for run level 5.
1421 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1422 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1423 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1424 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1425 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1426 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1427 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1428
1429
1430CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1431
1432 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1433 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1434 access from the local system.
1435 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1436 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1437 - Documentation updates.
1438 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1439 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1440 RedHat or Mandrake.
1441 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1442 warnings.
1443 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1444 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1445 hex)
1446 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1447 crash the server.
1448 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1449 correct value length for name-with-language and
1450 text-with-language attributes.
1451 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1452 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1453 efficient IPP server performance.
1454 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1455 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1456 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1457 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1458 attack.
1459 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1460 data required when getting the list of printer or
1461 class information. This should improve performance
1462 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1463 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1464 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1465 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1466 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1467 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1468 override the lpoptions default printer.
1469 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1470 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1471 attributes.
1472 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1473 did not check for the correct value for collated
1474 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1475 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1476 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1477 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1478 scale mode 2.
1479 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1480 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1481 that started with a number.
1482 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1483 multiple times in name-with-language and
1484 text-with-language attributes.
1485 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1486 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1487 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1488 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1489 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1490 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1491 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1492 close the spool directory.
1493 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1494 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1495 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1496 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1497 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1498 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1499 larger than the source string; this protects
1500 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1501 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1502 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1503 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1504 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1505 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1506 remote printers.
1507 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1508 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1509 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1510 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1511 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1512 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1513 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1514 3-argument contains() function.
1515 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1516 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1517 database containing 0 printers.
1518 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1519 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1520 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1521 printer was always busy.
1522 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1523 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1524 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1525 jobs.
1526 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1527 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1528 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1529 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1530 57600 and 115200 baud.
1531 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1532 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1533 option in the device URI.
1534 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1535 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1536 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1537 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1538 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1539 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1540 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1541 job attributes to be changed.
1542 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1543 web interface.
1544 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1545 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1546 since they do not map)
1547 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1548 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1549 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1550 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1551 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1552 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1553 child signals while loading devices.
1554 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1555 and classes.
1556 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1557 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1558 driver dithering code.
1559 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1560 after the first active printer.
1561 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1562 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1563 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1564 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1565 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1566 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1567 accepted null values.
1568 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1569 of the backends.
1570 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1571 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1572 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1573 is set in the plot file.
1574 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1575 user name, causing it to always fail.
1576 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1577 under Windows.
1578 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1579 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1580 didn't handle control file job information in any
1581 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1582 a file.
1583 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1584 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1585 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1586 printing on some systems.
1587 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1588 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1589 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1590 it.
1591
1592
1593CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1594
1595 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1596 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1597 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1598 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1599 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1600 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1601 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1602 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1603 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1604 order, which prevented remote printing.
1605 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1606 IPP requests and language information when closing
1607 a client connection.
1608 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1609 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1610 compatibles)
1611 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1612 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1613 on many OS's.
1614 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1615 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1616 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1617 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1618 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1619 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1620 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1621 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1622 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1623 PPD files.
1624 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1625 when the destination printer supported it. This
1626 caused problems when printing text files to other
1627 CUPS servers.
1628 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1629 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1630 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1631 the dates.)
1632 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1633 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1634 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1635 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1636 be clipped.
1637
1638
1639CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1640
1641 - Makefile fixes.
1642 - RPM spec file changes.
1643 - Documentation updates.
1644 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1645 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1646 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1647 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1648 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1649 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1650 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1651 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1652 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1653 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1654 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1655 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1656 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1657 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1658 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1659 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1660 specified.
1661 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1662 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1663 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1664 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1665 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1666 cupsd.conf.
1667 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1668 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1669 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1670 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1671 filter mode 'l'.
1672 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1673 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1674 defaults for all print queues.
1675 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1676 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1677 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1678 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1679 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1680 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1681 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1682 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1683 printer was defined with the same name.
1684 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1685 remove options for a printer or instance.
1686 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1687 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1688 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1689 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1690 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1691 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1692 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1693 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1694 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1695 job-printer-uri attribute.
1696 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1697 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1698 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1699 remote printers.
1700 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1701 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1702 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1703 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1704 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1705 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1706 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1707 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1708 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1709 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1710 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1711 printer set using lpoptions.
1712 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1713 list the printer-specific options and their current
1714 settings.
1715 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1716 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1717 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1718 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1719 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1720 text printing.
1721 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1722 instances.
1723 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1724 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1725 limit.
1726 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1727 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1728 new client connections.
1729 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1730 required pagedevice parameters.
1731 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1732 under Linux.
1733 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1734 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1735 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1736 would stop processing.
1737 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1738 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1739 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1740 that was currently printing a job.
1741 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1742 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1743 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1744 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1745 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1746 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1747 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1748 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1749 option values separated by commas.
1750 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1751 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1752 and free bytes once a minute)
1753 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1754 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1755 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1756 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1757 printers.
1758 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1759 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1760 requests from that address to the server name.
1761 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1762 server.domain.com to localhost.
1763 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1764 the previous device and driver settings (except
1765 for serial ports.)
1766 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1767 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1768 after a job is completed when job file history is
1769 turned off.
1770 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1771 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1772 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1773 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1774 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1775 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1776 for "lpstat -v" output.
1777 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1778 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1779 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1780 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1781 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1782 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1783 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1784 by itself without quoting.
1785
1786
1787CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1788
1789 - Makefile/configure fixes
1790 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1791 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1792 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1793 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1794 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1795 number generator for certificates.
1796 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1797 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1798 the filter user, typically "lp".
1799 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1800 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1801 user.
1802 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1803 function.
1804 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1805 standard input.
1806 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1807 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1808 page header as needed.
1809 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1810 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1811 immediately when last-document was true.
1812 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1813 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1814 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1815 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1816 and many PS printers.
1817 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1818 filters.
1819 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1820 debugging problems.
1821 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1822 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1823 calling problem...)
1824 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1825 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1826 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1827 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1828 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1829 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1830 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1831 by default.
1832 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1833 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1834 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1835 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1836 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1837 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1838 CUPS software.
1839
1840
1841CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1842
1843 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1844 old PDF filter files.
1845 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1846 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1847 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1848 network devices.
1849 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1850 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1851 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1852 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1853 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1854 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1855 is defined otherwise.
1856 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1857 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1858 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1859 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1860 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1861 0-length PPD file was read.
1862 - The image filters were not handling images with
1863 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1864 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1865 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1866 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1867 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1868 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1869 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1870 documents if they don't have it.
1871 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1872 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1873 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1874 --prefix was specified.
1875 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1876 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1877 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1878 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1879 color mode until it can be fixed.
1880 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1881 correctly in all cases.
1882 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1883 time in banner files.
1884
1885
1886CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1887
1888 - Documentation updates.
1889 - Configuration script updates.
1890 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1891 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1892 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1893 ppd_file_t structure.
1894 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1895 before it was used.
1896 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1897 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1898 the localhost address.
1899 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1900 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1901 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1902 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1903 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1904 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1905 PDF support.
1906 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1907 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1908 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1909 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1910 pstoraster.
1911 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1912 the user.
1913 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1914 not running.
1915 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1916 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1917 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1918 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1919 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1920 setpagedevice operator.
1921 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1922 the default banner pages.
1923 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1924 "position" option.
1925 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1926 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1927 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1928 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1929 "printer@server") when possible.
1930 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1931 with no PageSize attributes.
1932 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1933 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1934 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1935 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1936 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1937 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1938 cupsd.
1939 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1940 locations.
1941 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1942 variables to specify installation directories as
1943 needed.
1944 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1945 when the scheduler is started.
1946 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1947 printer.
1948 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1949 printer are automatically deleted.
1950 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1951 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1952 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1953 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1954 request.
1955 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1956 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1957 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1958 is "no-hold".
1959 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1960 responses.
1961 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1962 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1963 printer.
1964 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1965 request fails.
1966 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1967 printer and class names.
1968 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1969 received in a POST request.
1970
1971
1972CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1973
1974 - Documentation updates.
1975 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1976 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1977 method.
1978 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1979 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1980 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1981 - Missing the job-restart template.
1982 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1983 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1984 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1985 not specified.
1986 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1987 from getting through.
1988 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1989 stderr.
1990 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1991 job name and display string, if supported.
1992 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1993 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1994 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1995 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1996 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1997 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1998 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1999 UTF-8...
2000 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2001 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2002 could cause cupsd to crash.
2003 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2004 crash.
2005 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2006 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2007 "HH:MM:SS".
2008 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2009 connection structure.
2010 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2011 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2012 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2013 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2014 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2015 is a potential security hole.
2016 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2017 new pstoraster.
2018 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2019 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2020 (/dev/usblp#)
2021 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2022 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2023 release.
2024
2025
2026CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2027
2028 - Documentation updates.
2029 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2030 now compile better under *BSD.)
2031 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2032 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2033 tray was selected.
2034 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2035 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2036 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2037 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2038 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2039 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2040 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2041 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2042 can handle.
2043 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2044 cause cupsd to crash.
2045 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2046 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2047 mime.types file.
2048 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2049 of file to be used as a banner.
2050 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2051 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2052 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2053 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2054 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2055 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2056 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2057 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2058 the IANA registrations.
2059 - New PostScript banner pages.
2060 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2061 filter.
2062 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2063 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2064 code.
2065 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2066 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2067 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2068 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2069 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2070 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2071 accurate width specification.
2072 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2073 files.
2074 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2075 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2076 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2077 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2078 that support it.
2079 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2080 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2081 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2082 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2083 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2084 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2085 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2086 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2087 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2088 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2089
2090
2091CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2092
2093 - Documentation updates.
2094 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2095 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2096 shell and Bash.
2097 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2098 code.
2099 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2100 manufacturer in the PPD.
2101 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2102 output attributes to be set.
2103 - Added banner page support.
2104 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2105 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2106 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2107 timezone offset.
2108 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2109 file is generated).
2110 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2111 printers when they became available.
2112 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2113 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2114 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2115 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2116 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2117 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2118 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2119 (override with -f)
2120 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2121 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2122 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2123 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2124 folks.
2125 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2126 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2127 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2128 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2129 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2130 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2131 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2132 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2133 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2134 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2135 languages (still only have templates for English)
2136 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2137 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2138 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2139 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2140 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2141 needed for some sites)
2142 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2143 templates.
2144 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2145 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2146 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2147 specific printer.
2148 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2149 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2150 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2151 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2152 authentication.
2153 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2154 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2155 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2156 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2157 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2158 filter.
2159 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2160 US-ASCII.
2161 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2162 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2163 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2164 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2165 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2166 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2167 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2168 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2169 basis without environment variables.
2170 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2171
2172
2173CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2174
2175 - Documentation updates.
2176 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2177 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2178 printer.
2179 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2180 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2181 distribution.
2182 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2183 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2184 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2185 to match the IPP spec.
2186 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2187 (previously they would be ignored)
2188 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2189 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2190 machines.
2191 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2192 and printer.
2193 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2194 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2195 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2196 BrowseRelay directives.
2197 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2198 still receives information on remote printers.
2199 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2200 networks)
2201 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2202 of PPD files.
2203 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2204 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2205 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2206 close their input files.
2207

2216 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
2217 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
2218 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
2219 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local

2227 was being used.
2228 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
