163 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
6e3a6a5b 164 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname

167 long filenames (STR #560)
8d8f4e65 168 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
169 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other

180 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
181 size (STR #454)
182 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the
183 client connection on errors rather than shutting down
184 the receive end of the socket; this caused resource
185 problems on some systems (STR #434)
186 - cups-polld didn't compile on Tru64 5.1B (STR #436)

234 character, which is not required by the Base64
235 encoding specification (STR #407)

258 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
90887693 259 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
260 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off

a82a99de 263 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
264 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
265 defined PageSize (STR #365)

278 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
279 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
26be07b0 280 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
281 name provided an explicit character set name (STR

305
306 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
307 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
308 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
309 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
310 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
311 names, which caused some problems with the generated
312 URLs (STR #320)
313 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
314 option (STR #331)
315
316

330
331
8f6b12db 332CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
0e487b95 333
6e47c784 334 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
335 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
336 printers that returned status info but were not ready
337 for more print data (STR #287)

339 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
340 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
341 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
c854f358 342 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR

346 10.3 (STR #270)
381f12f7 347 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
e4ca17a2 348 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
349 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
350 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
351 very difficult (STR #277)
4c43a97d 352 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
353 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
354 the filter group (STR #283)
e63a3a10 355 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,

359 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
0e487b95 360 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
361 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
362 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
363 language localization for a request; this caused extra
364 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
365 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
366 one language specified (STR #267)
367
368
8244e10a 369CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
370
338ae38a 371 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before

6d124822 374 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
375 is 64 bits (STR #262)
6bce3201 376 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
377 Hat (STR #253)
378 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
379 the standard constants when reporting printer status
380 bits on Linux (STR #254)
5e99a8a5 381 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
382 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
383 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
84d61730 384 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
385 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
386 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
387 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
388 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
389 URI (STR #247)
390 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
391 (STR #249)
392 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
393 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)

395 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
3ee7426b 396 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
397 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
45dca5ea 398 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
399 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
e8cbd9cd 400 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
401 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
402 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
11b93269 403 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
404 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
eb61d0c5 405 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
406 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
407 (STR #224)

411 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
412 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
94030a75 413 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
414 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
415 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
416 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
857d50e5 417 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
418 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
419 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
420 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
421 level (STR #212)
ebe3d353 422 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
423 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)

426 (STR #209)
2e8b6143 427 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
428 page device attributes (STR #208)
dec3f89c 429 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
430 the user already had specified the proper orientation
431 (STR #207)

436 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
437 files (STR #192)
c42a75ff 438 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
439 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
440 programs rather than the port that the browser
441 connected to (STR #103)

443 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
444 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
445 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
446 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
447 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
448 files define the job-priority and
449 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
47d2282f 450 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
451 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
61b89347 452 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
453 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
454 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
455 caused problems with some implementations of the
456 standard C library. (STR #159)
53f70eeb 457 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
458 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)

466 strings if the description string is not available
467 (STR #174)
e0e5558d 468 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
469 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
470 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
471 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
472 group (STR #158)
a341fa03 473 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
474 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
475 #147)
74d02069 476 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if

487 files did not get installed (STR #148)
488 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
489 without shared libraries (STR #149)
490 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes

495 amount of memory (STR #145)
eb4390b8 496 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
497 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
498 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
5f31ff31 499 #139)
fc25a9d8 500 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
501 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
94cf7749 502 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
503 block waiting for data (STR #132)
7cb6c07c 504 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
505 command after the PJL language escape to work around
506 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
4bbed28a 507 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
508 value properly (STR #127)
8244e10a 509 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
4bbed28a 510 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)

512
e2a855f4 513CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
514
b75d5d75 515 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
516 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
517 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
b9d8dd1a 518 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
519 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
520 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
521 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
31e1c01a 522 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
523 options (STR #123)
b28bc338 524 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
525 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
526 #117)
aff23bde 527 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
3015f1a1 528 - The configure script didn't specify the static
529 libraries properly when configuring with the
530 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
bdbceed9 531 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
532 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)

538
57deaa6f 539CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
b2ef23a8 540
11de6f4d 541 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
542 classes would get double banner pages for each
543 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
89af1852 544 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
545 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
97a56b09 546 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
547 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
548 next restart (STR #82)
c7d6a2dd 549 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
550 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
551 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
552 #70)
5c3bca82 553 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
554 language preference (STR #78)
706416fc 555 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
57deaa6f 556 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
557 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
558 in banner pages (STR #77)
b2ef23a8 559 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
560 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
561 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
562 annoying error message (STR #45)
563
564
77323c7e 565CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
798e0445 566

77323c7e 574 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
575 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
798e0445 576 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
577 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
578 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
579
580
b382e215 581CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
582
ddd39388 583 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
584 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
585 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
586 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
587 user - STR #48)
1e6a78f4 588 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
589 (STR #46)
e751416b 590 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
591 Gilles QUERRET)
d9d917e8 592 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
593 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
594 was handled (STR #47)

596 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
597 interface (STR #40)
21d8af16 598 - The scheduler did not put the
599 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
600 attributes group.
2cc2e957 601 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
602 defined by the IPP implementation document.
33674811 603 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
be9dbcb3 604 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
605 and #39)
87a618d3 606 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
607 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
608 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
609 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
610 requirements (STR #33)
611 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
612 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
613 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
614 symlinks (STR #33)
033da419 615 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
616 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
617 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
618 hardware (STR #32)
344f60d6 619 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
620 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
621 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
6b9cd1d3 622 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
b382e215 623 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
344f60d6 624 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
625 Jacke)
626 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
627 Bjoern Jacke)
b382e215 628
629
e372cbfa 630CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
631
89d489c1 632 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
633 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
634 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
635 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
636 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
96e0f57d 637 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
638 compilers cannot be found.
7c96288c 639 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
86661478 640 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
641 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
642 (STR #28).
e0b33685 643 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
644 not work.
47415fdb 645 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
646 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
647 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
648 was not added to the collection value.
649 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
650 was not added to the collection value.
40c5e423 651 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
0a70d815 652 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
653 directives.
654 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
655 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
656 new configuration directives.
18bf76bd 657 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
658 on the page (STR #18)
3ff628f9 659 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
660 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
661 #13)
e372cbfa 662 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
663 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
664 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
3ff628f9 665 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
e372cbfa 666 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
667 message files such as those used for the job history
668 in /var/spool/cups.
669
670
0d31b6c9 671CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
44aeb88c 672
164103c8 673 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
674 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
7fa3cf1f 675 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
676 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
677 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
678 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
679 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
680 permissions of /dev/null...)
fea502ab 681 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
74634630 682 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
683 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
f96a86d4 684 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
685 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
686 no "lp" queue) is sent.
34f4b88c 687 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
688 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
7fa3cf1f 689 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
690 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
691 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
692 retries and the time between retries.
06b015ce 693 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
694 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
695 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
696 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
697 your locale.
2100ee98 698 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
699 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
700 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
81e0e1f0 701 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
702 compressed using gzip.
e7204eee 703 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
704 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
705 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
706 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
707 a large number of clients connected to the system.
157f0de8 708 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
709 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
8125e199 710 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
711 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
712 respectively) and has some additional changes to
713 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
714 when only one copy was requested.
52d3603f 715 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
fa29319e 716 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
717 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
891e9961 718 - Added support for STATE: messages
719 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
720 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
a61b61c6 721 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
722 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
723 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
724 root.
29b8dd76 725 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
726 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
05ebcc1b 727 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
5924625c 728 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
729 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
730 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
731 information.
4a8a506d 732 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
733 field.
e3b16b79 734 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
735 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
736 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
737 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
738 attribute to control whether job history data is
739 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
740 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
741 implementation.
05fe6987 742 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
743 using SLP browsing.
ba3781d1 744 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
745 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
746 filter could be executed.
9975e2e0 747 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
748 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
749 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
750 Kubla]
c9cf48a4 751 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
752 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
753 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
754 sent. It now only references attributes that change
755 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
756 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
757 2k.
758 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
759 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
760 signals on Solaris 8.
29470950 761 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
762 by group name as well as user name.
a6b75055 763 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
764 printer was available.
765 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
766 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
767 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
2e9f827d 768 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
769 printable area of the page.
220ae6be 770 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
771 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
772 conformant PS files.
8b8029d2 773 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
774 the image on the page when printing in landscape
775 orientation.
5f7c946a 776 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
777 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
778 and ManualFeed commands.
779 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
780 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
f249be22 781 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
782 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
783 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
784 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
785 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
7359b9de 786 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
787 list of available devices, when it should have been
788 using the default signal handler.
e09825a5 789 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
790 option with a NULL last string.
0b33ed43 791 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
792 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
9696ec4c 793 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
794 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
795 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
796 up...
aa73fd19 797 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
798 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
799 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
800 non-blocking HTTP connections.
74a48aac 801 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
802 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
803 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
804 value; it is a keyword value.
3998b692 805 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
806 has gone away and reports an error.
aa73fd19 807 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
808 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
809 that support it.
ed72a317 810 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
811 variable under MacOS X.
812 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
813 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
6107f6bb 814 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
815 the form "file:///path" properly.
ab365cca 816 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
817 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
818 use when printing binary PostScript data.
6994de5b 819 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
820 directive, so only the first group would be used.
77ef0070 821 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
822 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
823 for systems with large numbers of printers.
af6e64f4 824 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2502981d 825 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
826 sequence.
c06ca338 827 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
828 the PPD file.
26077059 829 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.

831 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
19baf4b4 832 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
833 baseline donated by Apple.
6fe7f729 834 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
835 Apple.
5ccadac8 836 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
837 printer classes on the network.
42a7e987 838 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
839 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
840 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
841 option.
e86d5dfe 842 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
843 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
3aa7cb4f 844 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
845 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
846 "{?time-at-creation}".
7394f2c8 847 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
848 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
849 via IPP.
3bd37c15 850 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
851 even if FileDevices is set to No.
0c44f189 852 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
853 when it should have used hstrerror().
8ba9a65c 854 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
855 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
856 means that printers that don't report their serial
857 numbers in the device ID string will not be
858 individually selectable.
c96fbabe 859 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
860 when a page contained an embedded document.
34fd5c92 861 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
0e8a3912 862 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
863 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
864 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
865 the same.
866 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
867 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
868 of pages with duplexing enabled.
7e839d57 869 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
870 application to add less than 1 value.
3a4f05d9 871 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
872 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
d2788e87 873 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
874 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
875 too large for the buffer.
2dac9564 876 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
877 by Jeff Licquia.
a03a9383 878 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
879 an attribute definition.
10523988 880 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
881 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
882 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
883 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
eb227406 884 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
885 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
886 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
887 situations. The warning message is now written no more
888 than once per minute.
c3a04763 889 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
890 PS RIPs.
2168caad 891 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
892 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
893 quotas would not work.
35f78360 894 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
895 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
44aeb88c 896 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
897 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
898 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
899 program or man page files.
900
901
94aa2ede 902CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
903
7c03f91e 904 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
905 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
906 write a job control file.
67e3996f 907 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
908 directive to control whether new printers can be added
909 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
910 default is to not allow printers with these device
911 URIs.
77c6e88f 912 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
913 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
914 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
4b0b2cf9 915 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
916 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
917 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
918 non-conforming PPD file.
54da51cd 919 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
920 TrueType fonts.
df97567e 921 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
922 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
923 attacks.
04a7b72e 924 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
925 interface.
926 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
927 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
928 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
04a7b72e 929 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
930 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
931 the scheduler did not close the connections
932 immediately on all platforms.
0f67e14d 933 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
934 checks for all image formats.
ba4b85d2 935 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
936 back to its original at the end of a job; this
937 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
938 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
5301eb04 939 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
940 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
f8f843ed 941 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
942 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
943 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
944 PPD files.
8a91ba95 945 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
946 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
947 Win9x PostScript drivers.
e8ee2a63 948 - The web interface did not always report the correct
949 error message.
94aa2ede 950 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
951 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
952 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
953 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
954 process from returning.
955
956
74ed53a2 957CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
958
525bfc0b 959 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
960 backend had to retry a print job.
1311dcd6 961 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
3f854eca 962 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
963 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
df471882 964 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
965 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
966 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
967 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
968 ticket data.
cfa79b67 969 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
970 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
971 after it was shutdown.
9cce0e37 972 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
973 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
974 group membership still requires the account name to be
975 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
fa074b7e 976 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
977 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
978 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
979 on the options that are sent in a job.
ada2c1b3 980 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
981 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
d12261f5 982 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
983 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
984 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
985 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
986 longer treated as boolean options.
907a8dc9 987 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
988 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
1289a630 989 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
990 caused by servers sending the status line and
991 newline(s) in separate packets.
561dc083 992 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
993 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
994 empty.
f2e9a8f1 995 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
996 CUPS supports.
7a96c79e 997 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
998 Windows.
54a9642c 999 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1000 printing of Sun Raster images.
1836856f 1001 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1002 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1003 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
b3ee6362 1004 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1005 (interrupted system call) errors.
1006 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1007 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1008 caused by the child signal handler.
1009 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1010 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1011 error.
493e8197 1012 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1013 URI syntax.
a1a3b34f 1014 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1015 settings while loading a PPD file.
0e1e164f 1016 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1017 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1018 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
e8060c29 1019 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1020 properly localized time string.
083d4939 1021 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1022 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1023 configuring a printer or class.
bd3705dd 1024 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1025 filters will not stop a print queue.
af5e4e10 1026 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1027 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1028 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1029 scheduler.
1030 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1031 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1032 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1033 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1034 queues.
b15fb1a5 1035 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1036 filename.
09fe5aa6 1037 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1038 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1039 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1040 automatic form feed.
a352d816 1041 - French translation updates.
babea174 1042 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1043 embedding it in PostScript output.
74ed53a2 1044 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1045 MacOS X.
1046 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1047 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1048 has been removed.
1049
1050
a7e8237a 1051CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1052
504a6b20 1053 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1054 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1055 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1056 printer.
1057 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1058 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
fe0229ad 1059 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1060 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1061 interface might not work.
179240f2 1062 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1063 you can display completed jobs as well as
1064 not-completed (pending) jobs.
56d4e69d 1065 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1066 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1067 not be printed.
667d9d6e 1068 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1069 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1070 occurs.
4a85e971 1071 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1072 stopped remote printer.
32e0ec69 1073 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1074 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1075 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1076 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1077 the page number.
d973b0da 1078 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1079 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
0ccf02e0 1080 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
35e91562 1081 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1082 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1083 banner pages.
81b119bb 1084 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1085 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1086 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
024012b5 1087 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
81b119bb 1088 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1089 reliably.
03398327 1090 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1091 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1092 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1093 using more than one USB printer.
edec3c04 1094 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1095 connection when sending an error that requires the
1096 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1097 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1098 encryption enabled.
a30bd7de 1099 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1100 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1101 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1102 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
74fbf5a5 1103 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1104 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1105 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1106 implement the LPD protocol properly...
fba700de 1107 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1108 PostScript or image filters.
5e9110e7 1109 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1110 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
e82099e8 1111 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1112 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
56ef82e0 1113 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1114 when modifying an active printer.
855a9e55 1115 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1116 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1117 defines a circular filter rule.
1118 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1119 requirements comment in some cases.
d8054238 1120 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1121 files.
7444191a 1122 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1123 better handle printing EPS files.
19293ea1 1124 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1125 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1126 compatibility).
4e3752ec 1127 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
0718e4ba 1128 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1129 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1130 number of copies that a user can request.
4e3752ec 1131 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1132 others and when it forked processes.
19293ea1 1133 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1134 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1135 shutdown.
4d521be6 1136 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1137 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1138 init script functions, if available.
5f67d496 1139 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1140 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1141 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1142 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
4c5f5a6c 1143 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1144 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1145 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
1534c1c6 1146 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1147 printer" status of the printer.
ea7ab5bc 1148 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1149 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1150 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1151 a bad or missing temporary directory.
e4876e1a 1152 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1153 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1154 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
389b2986 1155 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1156 connect to the remote server name in a
1157 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1158 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1159 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1160 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f12a2b46 1161 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1162 the program would try to print the option letter that
1163 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1164 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
1289daa8 1165 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1166 attributes from printer options in
1167 cupsEncodeOptions().
c04dd9eb 1168 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1169 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
d0494417 1170 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
b0a57ebb 1171 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1172 devices under *BSD.
587cc33e 1173 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1174 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1175 characters.
1176 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1177 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1178 the language mode.
1179 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1180 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1181 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1182 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1183 all of the CUPS API functions.
fd8ea984 1184 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
b598a36a 1185 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1186 files when configuring a printer.
359214b8 1187 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1188 printer state before stopping the current job.
19422d56 1189 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1190 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1191 driver.
e8c0f85b 1192 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1193 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1194 that printer is available.
1195 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1196 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1197 printer class instead of a normal printer.
aa083c81 1198 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1199 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1200 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
9cf7b5ec 1201 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1202 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1203 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1204 username:password field of a URI.
bdab7021 1205 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1206 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1207 to accept connections.
1208 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1209 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1210 and current directory.
1211 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1212 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1213 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1214 for existing jobs.
1215 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1216 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1217 actually provided.
1218 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
631c8204 1219 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1220 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
8f9e60f8 1221 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1222 that do not have a PPD file to export.
72e127e5 1223 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1224 case-insensitive.
1225 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1226 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
eb5835f0 1227 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1228 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1229 Solaris.
412fb097 1230 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1231 printing banner pages.
0e5a03ac 1232 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
4ae5a89f 1233 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1234 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
8df50bec 1235 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1236 a bug in the filter validation code.
807953a2 1237 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1238 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1239 file.
08a29394 1240 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1241 description from member printers.
cd1acaa4 1242 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1243 hostnames that started with a number.
4ed45f04 1244 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
d3099302 1245 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1246 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
be6ae508 1247 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1248 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
f27e4cd4 1249 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1250 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1251 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
9c50a8ae 1252 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1253 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1254 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1255 up...
b6693aeb 1256 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1257 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1258 authentication didn't work for administration
1259 operations.
d57bb427 1260 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1261 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
a7e8237a 1262 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1263 interface to "localhost".
1264 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1265 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1266 only return textual data.
1267
1268
36d704a3 1269CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1270
1271 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1272 string function header, which is required on systems
1273 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1274 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1275 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1276 have to.
1277
1278
dbd8a3d5 1279CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1280
34410ef2 1281 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
74d572f4 1282 and OpenSSL license exceptions.
1f2b8b14 1283 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1284 name if no value has been set.
b0237f28 1285 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1286 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1287 correct tray.
629f384d 1288 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1289 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1290 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1291 options.
1292 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1293 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1294 <security/pam_appl.h>.
7d688613 1295 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1296 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1297 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1298 queues) on the server.
1299 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1300 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1301 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
62810009 1302 - New SCSI printer backend.
46b67928 1303 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1304 set definitions.
b43eaec9 1305 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1306 OpenUI/CloseUI.
e636e28a 1307 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1308 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
a3d434d1 1309 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
27c0b092 1310 - Added French translation of man pages.
ce4d6003 1311 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1312 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
17438bf4 1313 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1314 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
74d572f4 1315 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1316 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1317 comes from...
55b6e5fd 1318 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
629f384d 1319 output, as well as new page-border and
55b6e5fd 1320 number-up-layout options.
a772c8e9 1321 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1322 using the default printer.
1323 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1324 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1325 to allow for longer printer names.
1326 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1327 history data.
1328 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1329 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1330 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1331 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
902cb359 1332 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1333 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1334 caused problems on some installations that would
1335 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1336 level 3.
97242368 1337 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
3a4538e6 1338 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1339 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
dded8a26 1340 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1341 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
ee55837e 1342 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1343 destination printer or class.
90585df1 1344 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
c3383b50 1345 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1346 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1347 (cupsd).
584d8a37 1348 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1349 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1350 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1351 Keep-Alive like they should.
6ef066c5 1352 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1353 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
ea677348 1354 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1355 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1356 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1357 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1358 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1359 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1360 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1361 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1362 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1363 of glyphs.
d9c1e473 1364 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1365 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1366 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1367 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
05704f3b 1368 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1369 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1370 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1371 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1372 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
ffbd3758 1373 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1374 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
ee559d1e 1375 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1376 the proper IPP language code.
16c47000 1377 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1378 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
b96ac406 1379 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1380 classes.
0585f3c9 1381 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1382 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1383 did not reflect the correct port number.
b37eda02 1384 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1385 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1386 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1387 control and browsing based on the current interface
1388 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
c7c892f3 1389 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1390 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
8aa0fea1 1391 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1392 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1393 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1394 group.
d4cacde2 1395 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1396 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
e6af753a 1397 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1398 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1399 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1400 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1401 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1402 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
62e14649 1403 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1404 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
068b2cfb 1405 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1406 the correct LANG string.
afcf8e52 1407 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1408 and SAMBA server names.
3f801f5a 1409 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1410 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
fdd6150d 1411 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1412 generated dependencies.
1413 - Build fixes for OS X.
23f386dd 1414 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1415 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1416 the loader.
56d550c9 1417 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1418 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1419 the prefix "JCL".
b0841309 1420 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1421 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1422 while the next page is being processed.
53ef7f1c 1423 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1424 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
34410ef2 1425 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1426 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1427 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1428 printers and classes all at once.
1429 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1430 the Linux PPC port.
a55826ba 1431 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1432 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1433 value.
6ac08996 1434 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1435 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1436 other options as strings.
2dd3a053 1437 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1438 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1439 that don't end with a newline.
5f9cb265 1440 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1441 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1442 option.
dbd8a3d5 1443 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1444 integers and ranges.
1445 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1446 language support for CUPS.
1447
1448
e5b783c2 1449CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1450
2753d284 1451 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
0dad4b7e 1452 attribute name length or string with language value
1453 was not larger than the read buffer.
55df3d36 1454 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1455 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1456 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
393492b9 1457 - Added Swedish message catalog.
dbe9f6ee 1458 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1459 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
56f7e7b2 1460 - MacOS X fixes.
0dad4b7e 1461 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1462 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1463 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1464 2.2.x.
e5b783c2 1465 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1466 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1467 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1468 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1469 require it.
1470
1471
c697993b 1472CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1473
4086295c 1474 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1475 regular printer classes.
5beea5db 1476 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1477 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1478 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
a708f6b9 1479 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1480 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1481 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1482 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1483 and added several Russian message catalogs.
0375d5d9 1484 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1485 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1486 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1487 *.convs files.
3a7e970d 1488 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1489 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1490 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1491 goes away.
eec52dd6 1492 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1493 whitespace after quoted values.
3620d932 1494 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
011bc82a 1495 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
93e5e4c9 1496 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
5e1a998c 1497 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1498 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1499 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1500 the local server, the printer would not be found.
e85cee1c 1501 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1502 match the page orientation.
08e230aa 1503 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1504 connections to improve performance/response time.
1505 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1506 from Andrea Suatoni.
1507 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1508 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1509 tools support.
1510 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1511 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1512 existed.
1513 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1514 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
cc8eedc2 1515 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1516 page-set option.
ae4def00 1517 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1518 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
565f0f4e 1519 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1520 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1521 etc.)
a2135c45 1522 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1523 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1524 listing for a printer.
1525 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1526 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1527 make third-party tools happy.
410c586c 1528 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1529 values.
dd7b3330 1530 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1531 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
94c67712 1532 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1533 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1534 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1535 files.
ffb44853 1536 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1537 2 element array.
38f52966 1538 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1539 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1540 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
90e69602 1541 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1542 the password and nonce strings.
e1840e33 1543 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1544 "%%BeginData:".
35d8cebd 1545 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1546 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
94a2c320 1547 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1548 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1549 classification level, if set. This way the original
1550 banner settings are preserved when classification
1551 levels are changed or turned off.
f2a5b53b 1552 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1553 did it restore the original settings.
79e622fd 1554 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1555 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1556 system default group was not used.
c697993b 1557 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1558 send multiple control files.
9075313d 1559 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1560 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1561 for the "https" scheme.
1562 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1563 from the web interface for accounts other than
1564 "root".
14ac586b 1565 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1566 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1f8acb3c 1567 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1568 address properly.
428bdf25 1569 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1570 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
3689324e 1571 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1572 inside a Location, which is not valid.
07ac19b7 1573 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1574 information under Linux.
6f0311ed 1575 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1576 option (if present) in PPD files.
203cbd7b 1577 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
3563c59f 1578 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
2ac04bfa 1579 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1580 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1581 the lppasswd command.
58781c85 1582 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1583 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1584 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1585 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1586 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1587 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1588 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1589 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1590 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1591 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1592 restarting cupsd.
0893e2bb 1593 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1594 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
d111bf1f 1595 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1596 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1597 for commands on the standard input.
20e74f94 1598 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1599 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1600 pointer platforms...
dfcab7fc 1601 - The cups-config script reported the wrong version
1602 number.
1603 - The cups-config script was installed in $(bindir)
1604 instead of $(BINDIR).
1605 - The init script did not correctly check for a running
1606 cupsd under IRIX 5.x.
14ac586b 1607
c697993b 1608
3dd8765d 1609CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
9cd1b5d4 1610
1611 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1612 files.
1613 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1614 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1615 destination type for the new destination.
3dd8765d 1616 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1617 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1618 printer ACLs.
aaaeafbb 1619 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1620 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1621 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1622 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1623 printer-make-and-model attribute.
9cd1b5d4 1624
1625
5d433d41 1626CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1627
1628 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1629 files.
dfaa77bb 1630 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1631 files.
2a0ed644 1632 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1633 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
0e0ac99a 1634 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
add95281 1635 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1636 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1637 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1638 the device list (lpinfo -m).
acf4f738 1639 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1640 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1641 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1642 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1643 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1644 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1645 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1646 options exceeded 100...]
c0a0a784 1647 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1648 was set to "No".
1649 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1650 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1651 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1652 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1653 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1654 faster.
f0a1d7c6 1655 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1656 support properly support the "-h" or default
1657 server name.
1658 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1659 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1660 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1661 support printer instances.
d5de5bef 1662 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1663 underline formatting.
5c5e0e3e 1664 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1665 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1666 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1667 (-1).
58e55b12 1668 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1669 from printing to printers in that class.
ab83155c 1670 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1671 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1672 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1673 slower systems since more information had to be
1674 transferred from server to client.
ae295732 1675 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1676 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1677 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1678 machine); bug report from SuSE.
f2ac2ffc 1679 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1680 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1681 processing.
1682 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1683 to stderr instead of stdout...
8089c54a 1684 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1685 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
bb5479ce 1686 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1687 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1688 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1689 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
f3a34a22 1690 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1691 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1692 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1693 the Spanish banner files.
c7b73650 1694 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1695 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1696 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1697 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1698 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
424497b5 1699 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1700 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1701 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1702 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1703 information when printing via LPD.
1704 - Added many warning and informational messages
1705 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
673e0df1 1706 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
331ace6d 1707 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1708 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1709 provided.
017e43f5 1710 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1711 cupsd.conf.
1712 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1713 32k.
1714 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1715 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1716 possible.
0e0ac99a 1717 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1718 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1719 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1720 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1721 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1722 long values.
1723 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1724 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1725 to CGIs.
1726 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1727 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1728 time.
7cbf34bb 1729 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1730 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1731 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1732 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1733 result in a blank page being output...
6df8e5ef 1734 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1735 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1736 page comments when printing files directly...)
5d00553b 1737 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1738 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
deb47268 1739 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1740 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1741 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1742 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
d42ba728 1743 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1744 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1745 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1746 original destination.
1747 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1748 requested-attributes attribute in the
1749 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1750 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1751 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1752 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1753 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1754 prints.

af285e1e 1757CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1758
2ce3c0ce 1759 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1760 makefiles to install files properly.
af285e1e 1761
1762
ae3c9f2d 1763CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1764
810115ae 1765 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1012752f 1766 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1767 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1768 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1769 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
315875a1 1770 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1771 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
7c7e9bbc 1772 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1773 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1774 server.
810115ae 1775 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1776 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1777 with some types of flow control.
ae3c9f2d 1778 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1779 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1780 server.
1781 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1782 lines in the configuration files.
1783 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1784 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1785 from the server.
40ea433f 1786 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1787 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1788 to the file: pseudo-backend.
96f778ef 1789 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1790 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1791 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1792 script. Previously the job's document format was
1793 used, which was incorrect.
04d23db5 1794 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1795 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1796 "raw" model from the command-line.
636953dd 1797 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1798 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1799 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1800 printers.
2cf1c8bf 1801 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1802 Chinese text support compiled into it.
74405f61 1803 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1804 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1805 which caused some confusion... :)
7a28cafd 1806 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1807 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
ae3c9f2d 1808
1809
22716b8b 1810CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
3da85b39 1811
22716b8b 1812 - The configure script did not substitute the
1813 correct user and group names.
1814 - The configure script did not use the full path
1815 to the install-sh script when it was used.
3da85b39 1816 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1817 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1818 duplexing.
59c5330f 1819 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1820 distribution.
1821 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1822 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
9fda7ee8 1823 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1824 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1825 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
f7505a8a 1826 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1827 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1828 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
5a291a54 1829 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1830 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1831 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1832 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
3da85b39 1833
1834
607c05a5 1835CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1836
883164db 1837 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1838 approach for the various tests.
1839 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1840 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1841 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1842 options to specify the default user and group for
1843 CUPS.
58bca2c3 1844 - Added AIX shared library support.
1845 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1846 parallel ports.
883164db 1847 - Now use install program or script to install
1848 directories, files, and symlinks.
607c05a5 1849 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1850 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1851 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1852 print.
70594c26 1853 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1854 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1855 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1856 64-bit boundary.
83a2ea50 1857 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1858 skip the Digest keyword.
1859 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1860 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
9f4d970a 1861 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1862 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1863 authentication from passwd.md5.
930014fb 1864 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1865 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1866 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1867 PPD files should start much faster now.
3b24f732 1868 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1869 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1870 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1871 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1872 times.
930014fb 1873 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1874 code if an error occurred.
b5382dbd 1875 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1876 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1877 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1878 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1879 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1880 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1881 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1882 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1883 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1884 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1885 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1886 copies would come out instead of N.
1887 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1888 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1889 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1890 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1891 output an even number of pages.
1892 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1893 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1894 from being cancelled early.
1895 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1896 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1897 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1898 options from being used in individual user accounts.
4427d845 1899 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1900 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1901 "ESC i" graphics command.
2382b7c0 1902 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1903 printers to a local class.
1904 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1905 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1906 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1907 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1908 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1909 printers that were part of a class.
1910 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1911 printer more than once.
24bc843e 1912 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1913 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1914 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1915 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1916 account.
1917 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1918 against a location of "/printers/name".
1919 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1920 upgrades properly.
1921 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1922 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1923 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1924 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1925 when using Digest authentication.
af6b9152 1926 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1927 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1928 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1929 file.
6f6ad4c0 1930 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1931 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1932 server.
32c8c89f 1933 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1934 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1935 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1936 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1937 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1938 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1939 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1940 not the empty string.
4ce7a5bf 1941 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1942 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1943 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1944 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1945 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
74c5d458 1946 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1947 supported file types into the
1948 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1949 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1950 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1951 corresponding bad output in some cases.
95acf466 1952 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1953 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1954 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1955 or behave irratically.
1956 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1957 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1958 specified.
92f20b12 1959 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1960 completed or reported as "pending-held".
93de21d5 1961 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1962 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1963 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1964 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1965 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1966 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
35e895db 1967 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1968 location or description of the printer.
b1e1ae04 1969 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1970 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1971 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1972 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1973 multiple groups.
1a128191 1974 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1975 Apache.
911d1711 1976 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1977 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1978 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
b8476e22 1979 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1980 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1981 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1982 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1983 the page-ranges option from working properly.
9fca7ae2 1984 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1985 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1986 Ghostscript code.
d5c7e2d1 1987 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1988 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1989 size instead of percent of page size.)
883164db 1990 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1991 instead of root.
43e88108 1992 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1993 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1994 size options.
1995 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1996 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
676671ee 1997 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
b948b078 1998 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1999 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
b9ef2a3d 2000 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2001 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2002 character.
607c05a5 2003
2004
4bf0129f 2005CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
4f2b7367 2006
45051c20 2007 - Updated configure script to check for /etc/pam.d and
2008 to only set PAMDIR if it exists.
f5cca6ca 2009 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2010 package for pstoraster.
4f2b7367 2011 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
f5cca6ca 2012 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2013 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
4f2b7367 2014 Guiliani for finding this bug!
f5cca6ca 2015 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2016 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2017 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
4f2b7367 2018 - The IPP backend did not handle the
f5cca6ca 2019 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2020 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2021 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2022 history disabled.
a1793153 2023 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2024 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2025 connections initially.
f5cca6ca 2026 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2027 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2028 throughout.
2029 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2030 Richard Begg.)
2031 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
4bf0129f 2032 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2033 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2034 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2035 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2036 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2037 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2038 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2039 #54489...
883ffa05 2040 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2041 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2042 (only affects page-label and Classification
2043 options.)
7c126469 2044 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2045 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
cc74dba5 2046 - The scheduler would not force the default job sheets
2047 for printers to the current classification setting.
2048 - Added a new ippFindNextAttribute() function to the
2049 CUPS API.
cc6c9645 2050 - ppdEmitJCL() now strips any leading path info from
2051 the title string. This is only an issue for non-CUPS
2052 clients that don't do this already...
2053 - Other pstops fixed from Helge Blischke for printing
2054 non-conforming documents.
6a6f722d 2055 - The MaxJobs parameter was not reset when loading the
2056 cupsd.conf file.
4f2b7367 2057
2058
89db771d 2059CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2060
6d6db428 2061 - Configuration script changes, including new
2062 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2063 documentation and web content according to your
2064 favorite version of the FHS.
b1d503b0 2065 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
74464516 2066 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2067 test CUPS prior to installation.
89db771d 2068 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2069 insensitive to match Apache.
aa751dcb 2070 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2071 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
b6b2ed2a 2072 directives.
b1d503b0 2073 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
a61a2be6 2074 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
89db771d 2075 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
b1d503b0 2076 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2077 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2078 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2079 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2080 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2081 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2082 formats are supported at present.)
a61a2be6 2083 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2084 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2085 all browsing off.
2086 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2087 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2088 document.
2089 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2090 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2091 attributes-natural-language attributes.
f37fe731 2092 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2093 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
627f4602 2094 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2095 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2096 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2097 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
eb989f10 2098 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2099 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
ee6a18b5 2100 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2101 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2102 server.
2103 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2104 PJL commands from PPD files.
e4110064 2105 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2106 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
50b9556e 2107 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2108 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2109 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2110 the next/current job in the queue.
2111 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2112 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2113 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2114 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
ef56e874 2115 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2116 for Sun Raster images.
2117 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2118 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2119 function.
6c7bf83e 2120 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2121 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2122 command when printing to USB devices.
23bba0c3 2123 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2124 the cupsd.conf file.
2125 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2126 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2127 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2128 /dev/urandom.
3f4c4837 2129 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2130 httpGetSubField().
f8529e1a 2131 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2132 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2133 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
df47c6ae 2134 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2135 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2136 CGI was currently running.
6795c5a9 2137 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2138 option=true or option=false.
5718c6e5 2139 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2140 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2141 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
8056639c 2142 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2143 could cause it to crash.
2144 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2145 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
07f4bbbf 2146 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2147 attribute when altering a job.
61f80846 2148 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2149 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
d11458ff 2150 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2151 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2152 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2153 addresses.
2154 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2155 the current classification on each page.
2156 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2157 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
30d60919 2158 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2159 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2160 encryption.
a5282edb 2161 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2162 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
37ac5c5e 2163 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2164 support instances.
31d9b588 2165 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2166 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2167 and should never be used in a production environment.
2168 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2169 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2170 interface.
2171 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
7e62d601 2172 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2173 prevent caching of the results.
8bf6feb3 2174 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2175 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2176 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1bfe4a5f 2177 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2178 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2179 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
0e5b6226 2180 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2181 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2182 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2183 submitted by a user.
2184 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2185 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2186 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2187 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1a1c614a 2188 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2189 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
d5c0dc3e 2190 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2191 embedded spaces.
2192 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2193 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2194 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2195 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2196 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2197 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2198 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2199 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2200 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2201 by the GIMP.
aa530ae8 2202 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2203 bypassed the authentication checks.
66e0ad6c 2204 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2205 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2206 a race condition between the client and server for the
2207 upgrade to TLS.
67352119 2208 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2209 the pstops filter.
66e0ad6c 2210 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2211 the custom page size in the raster header.
2212 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2213 size to the size of the printed image.
2214 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2215 which are required by some printers.
2216 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2217 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2218 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2219 DSC).
974c2249 2220 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2221 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2222 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2223 driver.
2224 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2225 font list was not terminated by a newline.
8914dc20 2226 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2227 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2228 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2229 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2230 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2231 address this problem.
c57fe7d1 2232 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2233 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2234 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
4d3239da 2235 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2236 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2237 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2238 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2dd4ec71 2239 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2240 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
8aaa2645 2241 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2242 to manage print jobs.
139b5b53 2243 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2244 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2245 of 0 length.
0cef8bcb 2246 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2247 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2248 Guiliani for finding this bug!
89db771d 2249
2250
5aeb433c 2251CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2252
2253 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2254 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2255 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2256 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
ae40876c 2257 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2258 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2259 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
5aeb433c 2260 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2261 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2262 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2263 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2264 /dev/ulptN.
8d853fdf 2265 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2266 classes it was a member of.
2267 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2268 implicit status of a class.
2269 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2270 from implicit classes.
83f08393 2271 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2272 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
3dc4d2a9 2273 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2274 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2275 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2276 of the scheduler.
83f08393 2277 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2278 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2279 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2280 the /#copies variable anymore.
c6a97407 2281 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2282 option.
d519a317 2283 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2284 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2285 for a bad-request error)
1cb10d96 2286 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2287 unimplemented, not invalid.
2288 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
8d2d7a44 2289 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1cb10d96 2290 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
b857f40b 2291 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
0819478b 2292 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2293 (pstoraster).
2294 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2295 which are not used.
2296 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2297 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2298 cgi_initialize_string().
2299 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2300 ippSetCGIVars()
2301 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2302 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2303 leaks.
5aeb433c 2304 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2305 fails.
2306 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2307 setuid() calls.
d2e58bfa 2308 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2309 calls.
2310 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2311 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2312 bad input.
2313 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2314 missing hex digits.
5aeb433c 2315
2316
f6fb02d3 2317CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2318
2319 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2320 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2321 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2322 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
8cf6bc6e 2323 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1b5bf964 2324 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2325 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2326 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2327 corruption on many printers)
2328 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2329 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2330 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2331 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
cf45518d 2332 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2333 requests.
2334 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2335 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2336 was lost.
06a6d381 2337 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2338 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2339 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2340 to be used for a socket.
2341 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2342 a set were numeric or string types.
2343 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2344 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2345 reading *.conf files.
2346 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2347 same logic as GET requests.
2348 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2349 /index.html to requested directory name.
2350 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2351 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2352 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2353 instead of mode 0600.
2354 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2355 instead of 0600.
2356 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2357 system name in log filenames.
2358 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2359 and hex strings.
f6fb02d3 2360
2361
8a32fc08 2362CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2363
2364 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2365 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2366 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2367
2368
35a2ba9d 2369CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
d0e6f0a0 2370
2371 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
35a2ba9d 2372 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2373 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
d0e6f0a0 2374 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2375 filter programs properly.
8cf6bc6e 2376 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
7efbca5b 2377 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2378 versions of GCC.
35a2ba9d 2379 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2380 cancelled in StartJob().
2381 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2382 written with restricted permissions.
e72900c4 2383 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2384 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
35a2ba9d 2385 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2386 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
df7507f5 2387 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2388 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2389 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2390 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2391 syslog file.
358cc876 2392 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2393 and only specifies the document format if it is
2394 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2395 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2396 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2397 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2398 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2399 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2400 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2401 cancelled.
7c935cd3 2402 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2403 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2404 sporatic web interface problems.
e93faa10 2405 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2406 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2407 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2408 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2409 whitespace.
a1b8a254 2410 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2411 instead of an integer.
01a426e9 2412 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2413 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2414 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2415 and user-level access control.
1c9e0181 2416 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2417 encryption.
1c6682dd 2418 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2419 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2420 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2421 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
10f725af 2422 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2423 to the man page.
2424 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2425 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2426 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2427 queued for a printer.
07aefb45 2428 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2429 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2430 reporting.
d0e6f0a0 2431
2432
957d43b0 2433CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2434
91b3b672 2435 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2436 code.
957d43b0 2437 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2438 check in backend/serial.c.
91b3b672 2439 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2440 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2441 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2442 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2443 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
957d43b0 2444 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
91b3b672 2445 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2446 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2447 anyways)
957d43b0 2448
2449
2450CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2451
91b3b672 2452 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2453 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2454 for run level 5.
2455 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2456 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2457 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2458 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2459 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2460 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2461 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2462
957d43b0 2463
9ba214bc 2464CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2465
ccf243ee 2466 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2467 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2468 access from the local system.
ba37090b 2469 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2470 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
dabe8c13 2471 - Documentation updates.
2472 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2473 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2474 RedHat or Mandrake.
b6ea8f29 2475 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2476 warnings.
9ba214bc 2477 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2478 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2479 hex)
2480 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2481 crash the server.
2482 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2483 correct value length for name-with-language and
2484 text-with-language attributes.
b6ea8f29 2485 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2486 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2487 efficient IPP server performance.
52118ca3 2488 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
27d555e8 2489 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2490 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2491 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2492 attack.
2493 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2494 data required when getting the list of printer or
2495 class information. This should improve performance
2496 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
dabe8c13 2497 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2498 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
e2ff7d86 2499 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2500 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
97aa42aa 2501 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2502 override the lpoptions default printer.
132e0c72 2503 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2504 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2505 attributes.
3e41e580 2506 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2507 did not check for the correct value for collated
2508 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
ca019883 2509 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2510 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2511 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2512 scale mode 2.
2513 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
903306f3 2514 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2515 that started with a number.
b54e35d5 2516 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2517 multiple times in name-with-language and
2518 text-with-language attributes.
a6988fb1 2519 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2520 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2521 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2522 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
04de52f8 2523 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2524 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2525 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2526 close the spool directory.
a6988fb1 2527 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2528 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2529 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2530 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2531 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2532 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2533 larger than the source string; this protects
2534 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2535 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2536 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2537 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2538 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2539 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2540 remote printers.
673a323d 2541 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2542 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2543 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
b7711344 2544 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2545 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2546 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
15f2eccd 2547 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2548 3-argument contains() function.
9a7bbd52 2549 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
14aa7027 2550 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2551 database containing 0 printers.
2552 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2553 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2554 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2555 printer was always busy.
21eb8c86 2556 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
14aa7027 2557 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2558 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2559 jobs.
2560 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2561 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2562 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2563 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2564 57600 and 115200 baud.
2565 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2566 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2567 option in the device URI.
2568 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2569 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2570 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
bb27c189 2571 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2572 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2573 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
34751d41 2574 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2575 job attributes to be changed.
2576 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2577 web interface.
2558a535 2578 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2579 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2580 since they do not map)
5ec612d5 2581 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
61bdcfa6 2582 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2583 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2584 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
d7845573 2585 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2586 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2587 child signals while loading devices.
2588 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2589 and classes.
9b8f4655 2590 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2591 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2592 driver dithering code.
92db514a 2593 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2594 after the first active printer.
2595 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2596 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2597 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2598 except under Tru64 UNIX.
93d2f0c0 2599 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2600 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2601 accepted null values.
ccf243ee 2602 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
93d2f0c0 2603 of the backends.
3e95af31 2604 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2605 undocumented feature in Solaris.
ccf243ee 2606 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2607 is set in the plot file.
e43e883e 2608 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2609 user name, causing it to always fail.
4a6dba34 2610 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2611 under Windows.
5e78b561 2612 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2613 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2614 didn't handle control file job information in any
2615 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2616 a file.
05156f4e 2617 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2618 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2619 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2620 printing on some systems.
2621 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
a148912d 2622 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2623 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2624 it.
9ba214bc 2625
c014f6e1 2626
1a7b6620 2627CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2628
02e880a4 2629 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
4f3272c4 2630 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2631 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2632 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1a7b6620 2633 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2634 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
ef053cfc 2635 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2636 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2637 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2638 order, which prevented remote printing.
2639 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2640 IPP requests and language information when closing
2641 a client connection.
2642 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2643 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2644 compatibles)
2645 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2646 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2647 on many OS's.
4f3272c4 2648 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2649 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2650 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2651 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2652 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2653 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2654 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2655 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2656 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2657 PPD files.
02e880a4 2658 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2659 when the destination printer supported it. This
2660 caused problems when printing text files to other
2661 CUPS servers.
045d691f 2662 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2663 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2664 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2665 the dates.)
156616d6 2666 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2667 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2668 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2669 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2670 be clipped.

9f5a6ae3 2673CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2674
d0a31f54 2675 - Makefile fixes.
97d9e46d 2676 - RPM spec file changes.
03921eb6 2677 - Documentation updates.
9f5a6ae3 2678 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
d0a31f54 2679 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
9f5a6ae3 2680 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2681 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
27281c6f 2682 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2683 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2684 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2685 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2686 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2687 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2688 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2689 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2690 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2691 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
bb5310bb 2692 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2693 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2694 specified.
2695 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
8b4649bb 2696 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
08ffbb44 2697 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2698 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2699 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2700 cupsd.conf.
8b4649bb 2701 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2702 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
03921eb6 2703 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2704 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2705 filter mode 'l'.
7517e57e 2706 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2707 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2708 defaults for all print queues.
03921eb6 2709 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2710 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2711 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2712 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2713 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2714 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2715 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2716 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2717 printer was defined with the same name.
7517e57e 2718 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2719 remove options for a printer or instance.
2720 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2721 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2722 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2723 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2724 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2725 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2726 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2727 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
4ebb24ae 2728 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2729 job-printer-uri attribute.
2730 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2731 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2732 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2733 remote printers.
2734 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2735 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2736 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
96aa5c42 2737 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2738 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2739 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2740 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2741 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2742 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2743 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2744 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2745 printer set using lpoptions.
2746 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2747 list the printer-specific options and their current
2748 settings.
97d9e46d 2749 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2750 default printer or class at the top of the page.
08ffbb44 2751 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2752 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2753 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2754 text printing.
a4c88d98 2755 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2756 instances.
2757 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2758 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2759 limit.
2760 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2761 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2762 new client connections.
ba6af679 2763 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2764 required pagedevice parameters.
f9ec2cae 2765 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2766 under Linux.
2767 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2768 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2769 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2770 would stop processing.
2771 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2772 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
dc4ff34c 2773 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2774 that was currently printing a job.
183914a3 2775 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2776 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2777 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2778 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2779 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2780 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2781 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2782 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2783 option values separated by commas.
498e335a 2784 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2785 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2bdd1992 2786 and free bytes once a minute)
498e335a 2787 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2788 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2bdd1992 2789 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2790 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2791 printers.
8c2f8763 2792 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2793 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2794 requests from that address to the server name.
2795 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2796 server.domain.com to localhost.
2797 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2798 the previous device and driver settings (except
2799 for serial ports.)
91606789 2800 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2801 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2802 after a job is completed when job file history is
2803 turned off.
d31f354f 2804 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2805 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2806 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
96831d7f 2807 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2808 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
0bd85f71 2809 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2810 for "lpstat -v" output.
2811 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2812 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2813 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2814 the lpadmin command didn't work.
b31caa56 2815 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2816 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
6f5a446e 2817 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2818 by itself without quoting.
9f5a6ae3 2819
2820
93a6e90b 2821CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2822
947edcbd 2823 - Makefile/configure fixes
0ffd99e2 2824 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
93a6e90b 2825 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2826 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2827 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2828 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2829 number generator for certificates.
e2e7c96e 2830 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2831 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
947edcbd 2832 the filter user, typically "lp".
2833 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2834 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2835 user.
2836 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2837 function.
2838 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2839 standard input.
2840 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2841 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2842 page header as needed.
2843 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2844 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2845 immediately when last-document was true.
0ffd99e2 2846 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2847 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2848 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2849 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2850 and many PS printers.
2851 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2852 filters.
2853 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2854 debugging problems.
2855 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2856 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2857 calling problem...)
2858 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2859 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2860 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2861 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2862 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2863 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2864 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2865 by default.
2866 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2867 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2868 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2869 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
7f30fc5e 2870 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2871 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2872 CUPS software.
93a6e90b 2873
2874
082b40d2 2875CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2876
5d00d4cf 2877 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2878 old PDF filter files.
2879 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2880 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2881 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2882 network devices.
2883 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2884 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
082b40d2 2885 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2886 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2887 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2888 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2889 is defined otherwise.
2890 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
5d00d4cf 2891 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2892 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2893 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2894 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2895 0-length PPD file was read.
2896 - The image filters were not handling images with
2897 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2898 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2899 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2900 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2901 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2902 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2903 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2904 documents if they don't have it.
2905 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2906 printers lacking the @server in the name.
704927a8 2907 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2908 --prefix was specified.
c9115294 2909 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2910 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2911 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2912 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2913 color mode until it can be fixed.
2914 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2915 correctly in all cases.
2916 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2917 time in banner files.
704927a8 2918
082b40d2 2919
5d66e133 2920CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2921
2922 - Documentation updates.
2923 - Configuration script updates.
2924 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2925 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2926 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2927 ppd_file_t structure.
2928 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2929 before it was used.
2930 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2931 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2932 the localhost address.
2933 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2934 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2935 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2936 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2937 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2938 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2939 PDF support.
2940 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2941 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2942 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2943 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2944 pstoraster.
2945 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2946 the user.
2947 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2948 not running.
2949 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2950 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2951 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2952 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2953 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2954 setpagedevice operator.
2955 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2956 the default banner pages.
2957 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2958 "position" option.
2959 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2960 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2961 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2962 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2963 "printer@server") when possible.
2964 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2965 with no PageSize attributes.
2966 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2967 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2968 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2969 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2970 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2971 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2972 cupsd.
2973 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2974 locations.
2975 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2976 variables to specify installation directories as
2977 needed.
2978 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2979 when the scheduler is started.
2980 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2981 printer.
2982 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2983 printer are automatically deleted.
2984 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2985 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2986 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2987 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2988 request.
2989 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2990 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2991 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2992 is "no-hold".
2993 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2994 responses.
2995 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2996 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2997 printer.
2998 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2999 request fails.
3000 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3001 printer and class names.
3002 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3003 received in a POST request.
3004
3005
64a37d35 3006CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3007
3008 - Documentation updates.
3009 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3010 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3011 method.
3012 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3013 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3014 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3015 - Missing the job-restart template.
3016 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3017 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3018 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3019 not specified.
3020 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3021 from getting through.
3022 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3023 stderr.
3024 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3025 job name and display string, if supported.
3026 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3027 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3028 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3029 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3030 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3031 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3032 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3033 UTF-8...
3034 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3035 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3036 could cause cupsd to crash.
3037 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3038 crash.
3039 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3040 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3041 "HH:MM:SS".
3042 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3043 connection structure.
3044 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3045 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3046 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3047 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3048 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3049 is a potential security hole.
3050 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3051 new pstoraster.
3052 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3053 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3054 (/dev/usblp#)
3055 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3056 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3057 release.
3058
3059
3060CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3061
3062 - Documentation updates.
64a37d35 3063 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3064 now compile better under *BSD.)
64a37d35 3065 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3066 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3067 tray was selected.
64a37d35 3068 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3069 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3070 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
64a37d35 3071 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3072 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
64a37d35 3073 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3074 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3075 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3076 can handle.
64a37d35 3077 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3078 cause cupsd to crash.
64a37d35 3079 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3080 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3081 mime.types file.
64a37d35 3082 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3083 of file to be used as a banner.
64a37d35 3084 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3085 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
64a37d35 3086 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3087 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3088 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
64a37d35 3089 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3090 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
64a37d35 3091 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3092 the IANA registrations.
64a37d35 3093 - New PostScript banner pages.
64a37d35 3094 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3095 filter.
64a37d35 3096 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
64a37d35 3097 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3098 code.
64a37d35 3099 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
64a37d35 3100 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
64a37d35 3101 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3102 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3103 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
64a37d35 3104 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3105 accurate width specification.
64a37d35 3106 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3107 files.
64a37d35 3108 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
64a37d35 3109 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3110 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
64a37d35 3111 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3112 that support it.
64a37d35 3113 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
64a37d35 3114 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
64a37d35 3115 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
64a37d35 3116 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
64a37d35 3117 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3118 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3119 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
64a37d35 3120 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3121 matching the behavior of the System V command.
64a37d35 3122 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3123
3124
3125CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3126
3127 - Documentation updates.
64a37d35 3128 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3129 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3130 shell and Bash.
64a37d35 3131 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3132 code.
64a37d35 3133 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3134 manufacturer in the PPD.
64a37d35 3135 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3136 output attributes to be set.
64a37d35 3137 - Added banner page support.
64a37d35 3138 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
64a37d35 3139 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
64a37d35 3140 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3141 timezone offset.
64a37d35 3142 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3143 file is generated).
64a37d35 3144 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3145 printers when they became available.
64a37d35 3146 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3147 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3148 printer is only used when it becomes available)
64a37d35 3149 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3150 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3151 /usr/share/cups/banners)
64a37d35 3152 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3153 (override with -f)
64a37d35 3154 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
64a37d35 3155 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3156 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3157 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3158 folks.
64a37d35 3159 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3160 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3161 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3162 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3163 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
64a37d35 3164 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3165 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3166 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
64a37d35 3167 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
64a37d35 3168 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3169 languages (still only have templates for English)
64a37d35 3170 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3171 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
64a37d35 3172 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3173 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3174 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3175 needed for some sites)
64a37d35 3176 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3177 templates.
64a37d35 3178 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
64a37d35 3179 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3180 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3181 specific printer.
64a37d35 3182 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3183 the default printer options in the PPD file.
64a37d35 3184 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3185 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3186 authentication.
64a37d35 3187 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
64a37d35 3188 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
64a37d35 3189 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3190 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
64a37d35 3191 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3192 filter.
64a37d35 3193 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3194 US-ASCII.
64a37d35 3195 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
64a37d35 3196 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3197 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
64a37d35 3198 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
64a37d35 3199 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3200 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
64a37d35 3201 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3202 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3203 basis without environment variables.
64a37d35 3204 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3205
3206
a052b0da 3207CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3208
3209 - Documentation updates.
3210 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3211 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3212 printer.
3213 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3214 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3215 distribution.
3216 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3217 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3218 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3219 to match the IPP spec.
3220 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3221 (previously they would be ignored)
3222 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3223 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3224 machines.
3225 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3226 and printer.
3227 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3228 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3229 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3230 BrowseRelay directives.
3231 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3232 still receives information on remote printers.
3233 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3234 networks)
3235 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3236 of PPD files.
3237 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3238 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3239 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3240 close their input files.
3241
3242
64ec3e94 3243CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3244
3245 - NEW web-based administration interface.
3246 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
3247 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
3248 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
3249 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
3250 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3251 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3252 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3253 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3254 administration.
db504ff1 3255 - NEW USB backend.
3256 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3257 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3258 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3259 print queue problems that have been reported.
3260 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3261 was being used.
3262 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3263 printer.
3264 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3265 printer.
64ec3e94 3266
3267
3268CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.5
3269
3270 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not correctly set the pen color
3271 for pens other than #1.
3272 - The scheduler would only accept 26 simultaneous jobs
3273 under some OS releases (mkstemp() limitation.) It now
3274 handles up to 2^32 simultaneous jobs.
3275 - The PostScript filter loaded the printer's PPD file
3276 twice.
3277 - The PAM authentication code now uses pam_strerror() to
3278 provide a textual error message in the error_log file.
3279 - The scheduler now copies PPD and interface script
3280 files instead of moving them; this fixes installations
3281 with a separate requests directory.
3282 - The PostScript RIP did not generate correct 6-color
3283 output.
3284 - Several filters were marking PPD options twice when
3285 they didn't need to.
3286 - The scheduler did not save the printer or class state
3287 after an accept-jobs or reject-jobs operation.
3288 - The cupsGetDefault() function now ignores the PRINTER
3289 environment variable if it is set to "lp".
3290 - New ippErrorString() function to get textual error
3291 messages.
3292 - Better error reporting in the System V commands.
3293 - The lpadmin and lpstat commands always tried to
3294 connect to the default server.
3295 - The text filter didn't load the charset files from the
3296 correct location.
3297 - Wasn't sending a WWW-Authenticate: field to HTTP
3298 clients when authentication was required.
3299 - httpSeparate() didn't always set the default port
3300 number for known methods.
3301 - The HP-GL/2 filter now looks for "PSwidth,length"
3302 instead of (the correct) "PSlength,width" as
3303 documented by HP. It appears that many major CAD
3304 applications are broken and this change allows the
3305 auto-rotation to work with them.
3306 - The IPP "printer-resolution" option was not being
3307 translated.
3308 - The charset files did not include the Microsoft
3309 "standard" characters from 128 to 159 (unused by the
3310 ISO-8859-x charsets)
3311 - The scheduler was chunking the Content-Type field from
3312 CGI programs; this problem was most noticeable with
3313 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
3314 - By popular demand, the printers, jobs, and classes
3315 CGIs no longer force a reload of the page every 10/30
3316 seconds.
3317 - The scheduler incorrectly required that the IPP client
3318 provide a document-format attribute for the
3319 validate-job operation.
3320 - Clients that sent bad IPP requests without the
3321 required attributes-natural-language and
3322 attributes-charset attributes would crash the
3323 scheduler.
3324
3325
3326CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.4
3327
3328 - Documentation updates.
3329 - Jobs would get stuck in the queue and wouldn't print
3330 until you enabled the queue.
3331 - The lp and lpr commands now catch SIGHUP and SIGINTR.
3332 - The lp and lpr commands now use sigaction or sigset
3333 when available.
3334 - CUPS library updates for WIN32/OS-2
3335
3336
3337CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.3
3338
3339 - Documentation updates.
3340 - The lpq man page was missing.
3341 - The configure script was not properly detecting the
3342 image libraries.
3343 - The top-level makefile was calling "make" instead of
3344 "$(MAKE)".
3345 - PostScript filter fixes for number-up, OutputOrder,
3346 and %Trailer.
3347 - The imagetops filter didn't end the base-85 encoding
3348 properly if the image data was not a multiple of 4
3349 bytes in length.
3350 - The imagetoraster filter didn't generate good banded
3351 RGB or CMY data (was dividing the line width by 4
3352 instead of 3...)
3353 - The imagetoraster filter now records the bounding
3354 box of the image on the page.
3355 - The CUPS image library cache code wasn't working as
3356 designed; images larger than the maximum RIP cache
3357 would eventually thrash using the same cache tile.
3358 - The CUPS image library TIFF loading code didn't
3359 handle unknown resolution units properly; the fixed
3360 code uses a default resolution of 128 PPI.
3361 - cupsGetClasses() and cupsGetPrinters() did not free
3362 existing strings if they ran out of memory.
3363 - The scheduler logs incorrectly contained 3 digits for
3364 the timezone offset instead of 4.
3365 - The scheduler now does a lookup for the default user
3366 and group ID; the previous hardcoded values caused
3367 problems with the LPD backend.
3368 - The cancel-job operation now allows any user in the
3369 system group to cancel any job.
3370 - The cancel-job operation stopped the print queue if
3371 the job was being printed.
3372 - Now only stop printers if the backend fails. If the
3373 filter fails then the failure is noted in the
3374 error_log and printing continues with the next file in
3375 the queue.
3376 - Now log whether a filter fails because of a signal
3377 or because it returned a non-zero exit status.
3378 - The root user now always passes the system group test.
3379 - Printers with an interface script and remote printers
3380 and classes didn't have a printer-make-and-model
3381 attribute.
3382 - Added logging of lost/timed-out remote printers.
3383 - The HP-GL/2 filter was scaling the pen width twice.
3384 - Updated the HP-GL/2 filter to use a single SP (Set
3385 Pen) procedure. This makes the output smaller and is
3386 more appropriate since the filter keeps track of the
3387 pen states already.
3388 - The scheduler didn't handle passwords with spaces.
3389 - The IPP backend now does multiple copies and retries
3390 if the destination server requires it (e.g. HP
3391 JetDirect.)
3392 - The disable command didn't implement the "-c" option
3393 (cancel all jobs.)
3394 - Changed the CMYK generation function for the image file
3395 and PostScript RIPs.
3396 - The lp command didn't support the "-h" option as
3397 documented.
3398 - The AppSocket, IPP, and LPD backends now retry on all
3399 network errors. This should prevent stopped queues
3400 caused by a printer being disconnected from the
3401 network or powered off.
3402 - The scheduler now restarts a job if the corresponding
3403 printer is modified.
3404 - The image RIPs now rotate the image if needed to fit
3405 on the page.
3406
3407
cedfb4b7 3408CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.2
3409
3410 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't always scale the output
3411 correctly.
3412 - The HP-GL/2 filter now supports changing the page size
3413 automatically when the "fitplot" option is not used.
3414 - The cancel-job operation was expecting a resource name
3415 of the form "/job/#" instead of "/jobs/#"; this
3416 prevented the cancel and lprm commands from working.
3417 - The backends didn't log pages when files were printed
3418 using the "-oraw" option.
3419 - The authorization code did not work with the Slackware
3420 long shadow password package because its crypt() can
3421 return NULL.
3422 - The chunking code didn't work for reading the response
3423 of a POST request.
3424 - cupsGetPPD() now does authentication as needed.
3425 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't work
3426 with some printers (grestoreall would restore the
3427 default blank page and device settings).
3428 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't scale
3429 the pages to fit within the imageable area of the
3430 page.
9a2a1ba1 3431 - Wasn't doing an fchown() on the request files. This
3432 caused problems when the default root account group
3433 and CUPS group were not the same.
cedfb4b7 3434
3435
3436CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.1
3437
3438 - Documentation updates.
cedfb4b7 3439 - Fixed a bunch of possible buffer-overflow conditions.
cedfb4b7 3440 - The scheduler now supports authentication using PAM.
cedfb4b7 3441 - Updated the Italian message file.
cedfb4b7 3442 - httpEncode64() didn't add an extra "=" if there was
3443 only one byte in the last three-byte group.
cedfb4b7 3444 - Now drop any trailing character set from the locale
3445 string (e.g. "en_US.ISO_8859-1" becomes "en_US")
cedfb4b7 3446 - Fixed "timezone" vs "tm_gmtoff" usage for BSD-based
3447 operating systems.
cedfb4b7 3448 - Updated IPP security so that "get" operations can be
3449 done from any resource name; this allows the CGIs to
3450 work with printer authentication enabled so long as
3451 authentication isn't turned on for the whole "site".
cedfb4b7 3452 - The IPP code didn't properly handle the "unsupported"
3453 group; this caused problems with the HP JetDirect since
3454 it doesn't seem to support the "copies" attribute.
cedfb4b7 3455 - The HTTP chunking code was missing a CR LF pair at the
3456 end of a 0-length chunk.
cedfb4b7 3457 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle embedded
3458 usernames and passwords in the URI properly.
cedfb4b7 3459 - Doing "lpadmin -p printer -E" didn't restart printing
3460 if there were pending jobs.
cedfb4b7 3461 - The cancel-job operation now requires either a
3462 requesting-user-name attribute or an authenticated
3463 username.
cedfb4b7 3464 - The add-printer code did not report errors if the
3465 interface script or PPD file could not be renamed.
cedfb4b7 3466 - Request files are now created without world read
3467 permissions.
cedfb4b7 3468 - Added a cupsLastError() function to the CUPS API to
3469 retrieve the IPP error code from the last request.
cedfb4b7 3470 - Options are now case-insensitive.
cedfb4b7 3471 - The lpq command now provides 10 characters for the
3472 username instead of the original (Berkeley standard)
3473 7.
cedfb4b7 3474 - The cancel command needed a local CUPS server to work
3475 (or the appropriate ServerName in cupsd.conf)
cedfb4b7 3476 - The cancel and lprm commands didn't report the IPP
3477 error if the job could not be cancelled.
cedfb4b7 3478 - The lp and lpr commands didn't intercept SIGTERM to
3479 remove temporary files when printing from stdin.
cedfb4b7 3480 - The lp and lpr commands didn't report the IPP error if
3481 the job could not be printed.
