4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc2
5
6 - The scheduler used a select() timeout of INT_MAX
7 seconds when there was nothing to do, which doesn't
8 work on IRIX (STR #864)
9 - Updated the cupsaddsmb program to use the new Windows
10 2000 PostScript drivers instead of the Windows NT
11 printer drivers (STR #390)
12 - The gziptoany filter did not produce copies for raw
13 print jobs (STR #808)
14 - The cupsLangGet() function now uses nl_langinfo(),
15 when available, to get the current encoding (STR #856)
16 - Added a ReloadTimeout directive to control how long
17 the scheduler waits for jobs to complete before
18 restarting the scheduler (STR #861)
19 - Added a note to the default cupsd.conf file which
20 mentions that you must allow connections from
21 localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
22 work (STR #850)
23 - The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
24 communicating with a remote server; this caused
25 problems with some custom configurations (STR #852)
26 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon wasn't using the right
27 default banner option (STR #851)
28 - Updated the new httpDecode64_2() and httpEncode64_2()
29 functions to handle arbitrary binary data, not just
30 text (STR #860)
31 - String options with quotes in their values were not
32 quoted properly by the scheduler (STR #839)
33 - Configure script changes for GNU/Hurd (STR #838)

37 - Fixed a typo in the cupsd man page (STR #833)
38 - The USB backend now defaults to using the newer
39 /dev/usb/lpN filenames; this helps on systems which
40 use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (STR #818)
41 - The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
42 constant when the configure script detected the
43 usersec.h header file. This caused authentication
44 errors on AIX (STR #832)
45 - The lp and lpr commands now report the temporary
46 filename and error if they are unable to create a
47 temporary file (STR #812)
48 - Added ServerTokens directive to control the Server
49 header in HTTP responses (STR #792)

54 support CDSA or GNUTLS (STR #794)
55 - The httpSeparate() function did not decode all
56 character escapes (STR #795)

58 option choices and fails PPD files that use
59 non-standard values (STR #791)
60 - Updated the printer name error message to indicate
61 that spaces are not allowed (STR #675)
62 - The scheduler didn't handle HTTP GET form data
63 properly (STR #744)

70 - Added support for quoted system group names (STR #784)
71 - Added "version" option to IPP backend to workaround
72 serious bug in Linksys's IPP implementation (STR #767)

74 STR #802)
75 - The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
76 when it is available (STR #752)
77 - The IPP backend did not report the printer state if
78 the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
79 - The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
80 messages (STR #745)
81 - Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
82 a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
83 prompts. This resolves a previous authentication

86 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
87 machines (STR #754)
88 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
89 setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
90 systems which used non-standard encryption settings
91 (STR #773)
92 - The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
93 11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (STR #769)
94 - "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
95 error in the man page makefiles (STR #775)
96 - Changed some calls to snprintf() in the scheduler to
97 SetStringf() (STR #740)

132 - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
133 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
134 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
135 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
136 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
137 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
138 #700)
139 - cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
140 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic

169 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
170 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
171 empty" (STR #660)
172 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
173 comparison when checking for group membership, which
174 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
175 (STR #647)
176 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated

224 - Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
225 #484)
226 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,

255 printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned
256 off (STR #535)
257 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
258 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
259 (STR #565)
260 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
261 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
262 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
263 when creating the data and control filenames, which
264 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
265 long filenames (STR #560)
266 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
267 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
268 information from being updated (STR #562)
269 - The scheduler did not send common or history data to
270 the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request
271 (STR #559)

305 to spaces for custom classification names (STR #555)
306
307
308 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
309
310 - The pstops filter didn't properly handle collated,
311 duplexed copies of documents with an odd number of
312 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
313 copies (STR #389)
314 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
315 #430)
316 - Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags

318 an annotation (STR #425)
319 - The French web interface localization did not use
320 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
321 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and
322 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
323 test results (STR #380)
324 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
325 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
326 - The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary

328 - The HTTP code did not use a case-insensitive
329 comparison when checking for the Basic authentication
330 method (STR #407)
331 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
332 character, which is not required by the Base64
333 encoding specification (STR #407)

335 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
336 IRIX (STR #422)
337 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
338 to be consistent with the way other signals are
339 handled (STR #423)
340 - The cupsaddsmb program didn't export the new CUPS
341 driver for Windows properly (STR #390)
342 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
343 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
344 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
345 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
346 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
347 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
348 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)

352
353 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
354
355 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
356 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
357 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
358 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
359 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
360 the error_log file (STR #337)
361 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
362 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
363 defined PageSize (STR #365)

374 - The Visual C++ project files did not work (STR #366)
375 - The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
376 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
377 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
378 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
379 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
380 #354)

388 driver for Windows (STR #357)
389
390
391 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
392
393 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
394 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
395 enabled (STR #259)

400
401
402 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
403
404 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
405 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
406 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
407 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
408 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
409 names, which caused some problems with the generated
410 URLs (STR #320)
411 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
412 option (STR #331)
413
414
415 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
416
417 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
418 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
419 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
420 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
421 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
422 arguments (STR #313)
423 - The web admin interface did not display an error
424 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
425 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
426 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
427 #292)
428
429
430 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
431
432 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
433 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
434 printers that returned status info but were not ready
435 for more print data (STR #287)
436 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
437 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
438 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
439 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
440 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
441 #289)
442 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
443 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
444 10.3 (STR #270)
445 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
446 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
447 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
448 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
449 very difficult (STR #277)
450 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
451 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
452 the filter group (STR #283)
453 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
454 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
455 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
456 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
457 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
458 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
459 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
460 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
461 language localization for a request; this caused extra
462 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
463 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
464 one language specified (STR #267)
465
466
467 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
468
469 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
470 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
471 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
472 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
473 is 64 bits (STR #262)
474 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
475 Hat (STR #253)
476 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
477 the standard constants when reporting printer status
478 bits on Linux (STR #254)
479 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
480 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
481 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
482 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
483 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
484 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
485 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
486 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
487 URI (STR #247)
488 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
489 (STR #249)
490 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
491 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
492 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
493 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
494 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
495 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
496 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
497 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
498 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
499 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
500 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
501 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
502 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
503 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
504 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
505 (STR #224)
506 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
507 9 (STR #217)
508 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
509 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
510 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
511 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
512 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
513 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
514 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
515 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
516 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
517 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
518 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
519 level (STR #212)
520 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
521 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
522 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
523 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
524 (STR #209)
525 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
526 page device attributes (STR #208)
527 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
528 the user already had specified the proper orientation
529 (STR #207)
530 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
531 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
532 #193)
533 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
534 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
535 files (STR #192)
536 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
537 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
538 programs rather than the port that the browser
539 connected to (STR #103)
540 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
541 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
542 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
543 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
544 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
545 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
546 files define the job-priority and
547 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
548 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
549 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
550 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
551 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
552 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
553 caused problems with some implementations of the
554 standard C library. (STR #159)
555 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
556 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
557 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
558 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
559 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
560 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
561 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
562 signal handlers (STR #190)
563 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
564 strings if the description string is not available
565 (STR #174)
566 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
567 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
568 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
569 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
570 group (STR #158)
571 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
572 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
573 #147)
574 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
575 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
576 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
577 - Printers with special characters in their names were
578 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
579 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
580 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
581 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
582 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
583 not blank (STR #152)
584 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
585 files did not get installed (STR #148)
586 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
587 without shared libraries (STR #149)
588 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
589 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
590 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
591 capability bit (STR #144)
592 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
593 amount of memory (STR #145)
594 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
595 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
596 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
597 #139)
598 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
599 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
600 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
601 block waiting for data (STR #132)
602 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
603 command after the PJL language escape to work around
604 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
605 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
606 value properly (STR #127)
607 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
608 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
609
610
611 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
612
613 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
614 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
615 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
616 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
617 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
618 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
619 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
620 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
621 options (STR #123)
622 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
623 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
624 #117)
625 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
626 - The configure script didn't specify the static
627 libraries properly when configuring with the
628 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
629 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
630 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
631 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
632 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
633 message (STR #94)
634 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
635
636
637 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
638
639 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
640 classes would get double banner pages for each
641 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
642 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
643 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
644 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
645 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
646 next restart (STR #82)
647 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
648 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
649 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
650 #70)
651 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
652 language preference (STR #78)
653 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
654 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
655 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
656 in banner pages (STR #77)
657 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
658 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
659 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
660 annoying error message (STR #45)
661
662
663 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
664
665 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
666 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
667 #59)
668 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
669 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
670 - The German web interface templates did not use the
671 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
672 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
673 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
674 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
675 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
676 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
677
678
679 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
680
681 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
682 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
683 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
684 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
685 user - STR #48)
686 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
687 (STR #46)
688 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
689 Gilles QUERRET)
690 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
691 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
692 was handled (STR #47)
693 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
694 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
695 interface (STR #40)
696 - The scheduler did not put the
697 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
698 attributes group.
699 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
700 defined by the IPP implementation document.
701 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
702 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
703 and #39)
704 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
705 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
706 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
707 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
708 requirements (STR #33)
709 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
710 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
711 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
712 symlinks (STR #33)
713 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
714 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
715 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
716 hardware (STR #32)
717 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
718 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
719 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
720 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
721 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
722 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
723 Jacke)
724 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
725 Bjoern Jacke)
726
727
728 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
729
730 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
731 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
732 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
733 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
734 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
735 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
736 compilers cannot be found.
737 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
738 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
739 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
740 (STR #28).
741 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
742 not work.
743 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
744 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
745 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
746 was not added to the collection value.
747 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
748 was not added to the collection value.
749 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
750 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
751 directives.
752 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
753 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
754 new configuration directives.
755 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
756 on the page (STR #18)
757 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
758 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
759 #13)
760 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
761 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
762 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
763 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
764 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
765 message files such as those used for the job history
766 in /var/spool/cups.
767
768
769 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
770
771 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
772 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
773 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
774 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
775 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
776 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
777 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
778 permissions of /dev/null...)
779 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
780 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
781 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
782 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
783 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
784 no "lp" queue) is sent.
785 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
786 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
787 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
788 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
789 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
790 retries and the time between retries.
791 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
792 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
793 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
794 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
795 your locale.
796 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
797 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
798 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
799 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
800 compressed using gzip.
801 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
802 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
803 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
804 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
805 a large number of clients connected to the system.
806 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
807 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
808 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
809 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
810 respectively) and has some additional changes to
811 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
812 when only one copy was requested.
813 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
814 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
815 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
816 - Added support for STATE: messages
817 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
818 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
819 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
820 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
821 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
822 root.
823 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
824 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
825 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
826 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
827 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
828 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
829 information.
830 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
831 field.
832 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
833 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
834 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
835 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
836 attribute to control whether job history data is
837 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
838 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
839 implementation.
840 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
841 using SLP browsing.
842 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
843 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
844 filter could be executed.
845 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
846 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
847 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
848 Kubla]
849 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
850 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
851 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
852 sent. It now only references attributes that change
853 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
854 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
855 2k.
856 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
857 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
858 signals on Solaris 8.
859 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
860 by group name as well as user name.
861 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
862 printer was available.
863 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
864 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
865 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
866 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
867 printable area of the page.
868 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
869 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
870 conformant PS files.
871 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
872 the image on the page when printing in landscape
873 orientation.
874 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
875 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
876 and ManualFeed commands.
877 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
878 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
879 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
880 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
881 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
882 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
883 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
884 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
885 list of available devices, when it should have been
886 using the default signal handler.
887 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
888 option with a NULL last string.
889 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
890 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
891 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
892 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
893 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
894 up...
895 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
896 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
897 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
898 non-blocking HTTP connections.
899 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
900 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
901 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
902 value; it is a keyword value.
903 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
904 has gone away and reports an error.
905 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
906 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
907 that support it.
908 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
909 variable under MacOS X.
910 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
911 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
912 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
913 the form "file:///path" properly.
914 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
915 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
916 use when printing binary PostScript data.
917 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
918 directive, so only the first group would be used.
919 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
920 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
921 for systems with large numbers of printers.
922 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
923 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
924 sequence.
925 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
926 the PPD file.
927 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
928 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
929 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
930 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
931 baseline donated by Apple.
932 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
933 Apple.
934 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
935 printer classes on the network.
936 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
937 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
938 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
939 option.
940 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
941 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
942 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
943 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
944 "{?time-at-creation}".
945 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
946 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
947 via IPP.
948 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
949 even if FileDevices is set to No.
950 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
951 when it should have used hstrerror().
952 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
953 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
954 means that printers that don't report their serial
955 numbers in the device ID string will not be
956 individually selectable.
957 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
958 when a page contained an embedded document.
959 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
960 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
961 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
962 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
963 the same.
964 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
965 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
966 of pages with duplexing enabled.
967 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
968 application to add less than 1 value.
969 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
970 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
971 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
972 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
973 too large for the buffer.
974 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
975 by Jeff Licquia.
976 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
977 an attribute definition.
978 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
979 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
980 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
981 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
982 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
983 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
984 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
985 situations. The warning message is now written no more
986 than once per minute.
987 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
988 PS RIPs.
989 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
990 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
991 quotas would not work.
992 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
993 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
994 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
995 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
996 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
997 program or man page files.
998
999
1000 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
1001
1002 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
1003 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
1004 write a job control file.
1005 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
1006 directive to control whether new printers can be added
1007 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
1008 default is to not allow printers with these device
1009 URIs.
1010 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
1011 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
1012 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
1013 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
1014 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
1015 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
1016 non-conforming PPD file.
1017 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
1018 TrueType fonts.
1019 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
1020 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
1021 attacks.
1022 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
1023 interface.
1024 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
1025 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
1026 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
1027 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
1028 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
1029 the scheduler did not close the connections
1030 immediately on all platforms.
1031 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
1032 checks for all image formats.
1033 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
1034 back to its original at the end of a job; this
1035 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
1036 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
1037 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
1038 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
1039 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
1040 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
1041 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
1042 PPD files.
1043 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
1044 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
1045 Win9x PostScript drivers.
1046 - The web interface did not always report the correct
1047 error message.
1048 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
1049 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
1050 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
1051 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
1052 process from returning.
1053
1054
1055 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
1056
1057 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
1058 backend had to retry a print job.
1059 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
1060 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
1061 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
1062 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
1063 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
1064 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
1065 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
1066 ticket data.
1067 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
1068 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
1069 after it was shutdown.
1070 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
1071 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
1072 group membership still requires the account name to be
1073 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
1074 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
1075 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
1076 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
1077 on the options that are sent in a job.
1078 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
1079 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
1080 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
1081 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
1082 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
1083 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
1084 longer treated as boolean options.
1085 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
1086 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
1087 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1088 caused by servers sending the status line and
1089 newline(s) in separate packets.
1090 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1091 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1092 empty.
1093 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1094 CUPS supports.
1095 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1096 Windows.
1097 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1098 printing of Sun Raster images.
1099 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1100 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1101 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
1102 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1103 (interrupted system call) errors.
1104 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1105 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1106 caused by the child signal handler.
1107 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1108 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1109 error.
1110 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1111 URI syntax.
1112 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1113 settings while loading a PPD file.
1114 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1115 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1116 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
1117 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1118 properly localized time string.
1119 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1120 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1121 configuring a printer or class.
1122 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1123 filters will not stop a print queue.
1124 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1125 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1126 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1127 scheduler.
1128 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1129 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1130 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1131 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1132 queues.
1133 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1134 filename.
1135 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1136 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1137 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1138 automatic form feed.
1139 - French translation updates.
1140 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1141 embedding it in PostScript output.
1142 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1143 MacOS X.
1144 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1145 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1146 has been removed.
1147
1148
1149 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1150
1151 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1152 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1153 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1154 printer.
1155 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1156 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
1157 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1158 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1159 interface might not work.
1160 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1161 you can display completed jobs as well as
1162 not-completed (pending) jobs.
1163 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1164 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1165 not be printed.
1166 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1167 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1168 occurs.
1169 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1170 stopped remote printer.
1171 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1172 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1173 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1174 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1175 the page number.
1176 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1177 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
1178 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
1179 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1180 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1181 banner pages.
1182 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1183 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1184 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1185 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
1186 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1187 reliably.
1188 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1189 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1190 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1191 using more than one USB printer.
1192 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1193 connection when sending an error that requires the
1194 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1195 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1196 encryption enabled.
1197 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1198 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1199 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1200 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
1201 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1202 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1203 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1204 implement the LPD protocol properly...
1205 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1206 PostScript or image filters.
1207 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1208 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
1209 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1210 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
1211 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1212 when modifying an active printer.
1213 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1214 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1215 defines a circular filter rule.
1216 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1217 requirements comment in some cases.
1218 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1219 files.
1220 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1221 better handle printing EPS files.
1222 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1223 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1224 compatibility).
1225 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
1226 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1227 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1228 number of copies that a user can request.
1229 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1230 others and when it forked processes.
1231 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1232 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1233 shutdown.
1234 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1235 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1236 init script functions, if available.
1237 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1238 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1239 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1240 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
1241 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1242 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1243 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
1244 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1245 printer" status of the printer.
1246 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1247 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1248 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1249 a bad or missing temporary directory.
1250 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1251 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1252 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
1253 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1254 connect to the remote server name in a
1255 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1256 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1257 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1258 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
1259 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1260 the program would try to print the option letter that
1261 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1262 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
1263 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1264 attributes from printer options in
1265 cupsEncodeOptions().
1266 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1267 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
1268 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
1269 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1270 devices under *BSD.
1271 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1272 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1273 characters.
1274 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1275 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1276 the language mode.
1277 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1278 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1279 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1280 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1281 all of the CUPS API functions.
1282 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
1283 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1284 files when configuring a printer.
1285 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1286 printer state before stopping the current job.
1287 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1288 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1289 driver.
1290 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1291 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1292 that printer is available.
1293 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1294 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1295 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1296 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1297 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1298 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
1299 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1300 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1301 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1302 username:password field of a URI.
1303 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1304 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1305 to accept connections.
1306 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1307 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1308 and current directory.
1309 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1310 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1311 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1312 for existing jobs.
1313 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1314 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1315 actually provided.
1316 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
1317 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1318 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
1319 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1320 that do not have a PPD file to export.
1321 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1322 case-insensitive.
1323 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1324 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
1325 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1326 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1327 Solaris.
1328 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1329 printing banner pages.
1330 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1331 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1332 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1333 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1334 a bug in the filter validation code.
1335 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1336 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1337 file.
1338 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1339 description from member printers.
1340 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1341 hostnames that started with a number.
1342 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1343 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1344 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1345 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1346 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1347 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1348 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1349 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1350 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1351 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1352 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1353 up...
1354 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1355 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1356 authentication didn't work for administration
1357 operations.
1358 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1359 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1360 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1361 interface to "localhost".
1362 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1363 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1364 only return textual data.
1365
1366
1367 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1368
1369 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1370 string function header, which is required on systems
1371 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1372 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1373 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1374 have to.
1375
1376
1377 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1378
1379 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1380 license exception.
1381 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1382 name if no value has been set.
1383 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1384 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1385 correct tray.
1386 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1387 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1388 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1389 options.
1390 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1391 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1392 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1393 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1394 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1395 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1396 queues) on the server.
1397 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1398 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1399 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1400 - New SCSI printer backend.
1401 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1402 set definitions.
1403 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1404 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1405 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1406 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1407 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1408 - Added French translation of man pages.
1409 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1410 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1411 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1412 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1413 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1414 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1415 comes from...
1416 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1417 output, as well as new page-border and
1418 number-up-layout options.
1419 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1420 using the default printer.
1421 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1422 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1423 to allow for longer printer names.
1424 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1425 history data.
1426 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1427 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1428 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1429 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1430 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1431 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1432 caused problems on some installations that would
1433 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1434 level 3.
1435 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1436 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1437 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1438 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1439 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1440 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1441 destination printer or class.
1442 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1443 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1444 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1445 (cupsd).
1446 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1447 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1448 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1449 Keep-Alive like they should.
1450 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1451 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1452 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1453 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1454 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1455 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1456 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1457 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1458 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1459 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1460 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1461 of glyphs.
1462 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1463 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1464 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1465 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1466 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1467 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1468 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1469 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1470 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1471 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1472 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1473 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1474 the proper IPP language code.
1475 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1476 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1477 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1478 classes.
1479 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1480 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1481 did not reflect the correct port number.
1482 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1483 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1484 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1485 control and browsing based on the current interface
1486 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1487 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1488 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1489 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1490 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1491 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1492 group.
1493 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1494 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1495 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1496 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1497 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1498 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1499 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1500 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1501 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1502 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1503 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1504 the correct LANG string.
1505 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1506 and SAMBA server names.
1507 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1508 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1509 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1510 generated dependencies.
1511 - Build fixes for OS X.
1512 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1513 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1514 the loader.
1515 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1516 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1517 the prefix "JCL".
1518 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1519 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1520 while the next page is being processed.
1521 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1522 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1523 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1524 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1525 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1526 printers and classes all at once.
1527 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1528 the Linux PPC port.
1529 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1530 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1531 value.
1532 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1533 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1534 other options as strings.
1535 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1536 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1537 that don't end with a newline.
1538 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1539 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1540 option.
1541 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1542 integers and ranges.
1543 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1544 language support for CUPS.
1545
1546
1547 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1548
1549 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1550 attribute name length or string with language value
1551 was not larger than the read buffer.
1552 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1553 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1554 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1555 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1556 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1557 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1558 - MacOS X fixes.
1559 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1560 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1561 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1562 2.2.x.
1563 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1564 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1565 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1566 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1567 require it.
1568
1569
1570 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1571
1572 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1573 regular printer classes.
1574 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1575 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1576 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1577 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1578 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1579 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1580 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1581 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1582 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1583 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1584 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1585 *.convs files.
1586 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1587 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1588 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1589 goes away.
1590 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1591 whitespace after quoted values.
1592 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1593 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1594 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1595 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1596 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1597 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1598 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1599 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1600 match the page orientation.
1601 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1602 connections to improve performance/response time.
1603 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1604 from Andrea Suatoni.
1605 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1606 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1607 tools support.
1608 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1609 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1610 existed.
1611 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1612 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1613 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1614 page-set option.
1615 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1616 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1617 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1618 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1619 etc.)
1620 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1621 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1622 listing for a printer.
1623 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1624 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1625 make third-party tools happy.
1626 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1627 values.
1628 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1629 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1630 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1631 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1632 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1633 files.
1634 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1635 2 element array.
1636 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1637 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1638 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1639 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1640 the password and nonce strings.
1641 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1642 "%%BeginData:".
1643 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1644 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1645 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1646 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1647 classification level, if set. This way the original
1648 banner settings are preserved when classification
1649 levels are changed or turned off.
1650 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1651 did it restore the original settings.
1652 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1653 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1654 system default group was not used.
1655 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1656 send multiple control files.
1657 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1658 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1659 for the "https" scheme.
1660 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1661 from the web interface for accounts other than
1662 "root".
1663 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1664 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1665 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1666 address properly.
1667 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1668 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1669 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1670 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1671 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1672 information under Linux.
1673 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1674 option (if present) in PPD files.
1675 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1676 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1677 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1678 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1679 the lppasswd command.
1680 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1681 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1682 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1683 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1684 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1685 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1686 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1687 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1688 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1689 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1690 restarting cupsd.
1691 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1692 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1693 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1694 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1695 for commands on the standard input.
1696 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1697 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1698 pointer platforms...
1699
1700
1701 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1702
1703 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1704 files.
1705 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1706 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1707 destination type for the new destination.
1708 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1709 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1710 printer ACLs.
1711 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1712 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1713 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1714 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1715 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1716
1717
1718 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1719
1720 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1721 files.
1722 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1723 files.
1724 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1725 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1726 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1727 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1728 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1729 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1730 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1731 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1732 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1733 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1734 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1735 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1736 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1737 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1738 options exceeded 100...]
1739 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1740 was set to "No".
1741 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1742 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1743 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1744 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1745 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1746 faster.
1747 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1748 support properly support the "-h" or default
1749 server name.
1750 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1751 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1752 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1753 support printer instances.
1754 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1755 underline formatting.
1756 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1757 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1758 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1759 (-1).
1760 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1761 from printing to printers in that class.
1762 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1763 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1764 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1765 slower systems since more information had to be
1766 transferred from server to client.
1767 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1768 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1769 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1770 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1771 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1772 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1773 processing.
1774 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1775 to stderr instead of stdout...
1776 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1777 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1778 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1779 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1780 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1781 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1782 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1783 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1784 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1785 the Spanish banner files.
1786 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1787 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1788 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1789 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1790 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1791 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1792 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1793 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1794 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1795 information when printing via LPD.
1796 - Added many warning and informational messages
1797 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1798 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1799 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1800 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1801 provided.
1802 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1803 cupsd.conf.
1804 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1805 32k.
1806 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1807 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1808 possible.
1809 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1810 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1811 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1812 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1813 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1814 long values.
1815 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1816 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1817 to CGIs.
1818 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1819 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1820 time.
1821 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1822 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1823 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1824 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1825 result in a blank page being output...
1826 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1827 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1828 page comments when printing files directly...)
1829 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1830 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1831 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1832 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1833 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1834 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1835 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1836 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1837 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1838 original destination.
1839 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1840 requested-attributes attribute in the
1841 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1842 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1843 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1844 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1845 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1846 prints.
1847
1848
1849 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1850
1851 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1852 makefiles to install files properly.
1853
1854
1855 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1856
1857 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1858 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1859 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1860 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1861 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1862 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1863 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1864 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1865 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1866 server.
1867 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1868 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1869 with some types of flow control.
1870 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1871 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1872 server.
1873 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1874 lines in the configuration files.
1875 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1876 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1877 from the server.
1878 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1879 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1880 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1881 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1882 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1883 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1884 script. Previously the job's document format was
1885 used, which was incorrect.
1886 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1887 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1888 "raw" model from the command-line.
1889 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1890 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1891 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1892 printers.
1893 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1894 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1895 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1896 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1897 which caused some confusion... :)
1898 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1899 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1900
1901
1902 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1903
1904 - The configure script did not substitute the
1905 correct user and group names.
1906 - The configure script did not use the full path
1907 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1908 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1909 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1910 duplexing.
1911 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1912 distribution.
1913 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1914 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1915 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1916 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1917 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1918 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1919 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1920 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1921 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1922 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1923 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1924 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1925
1926
1927 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1928
1929 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1930 approach for the various tests.
1931 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1932 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1933 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1934 options to specify the default user and group for
1935 CUPS.
1936 - Added AIX shared library support.
1937 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1938 parallel ports.
1939 - Now use install program or script to install
1940 directories, files, and symlinks.
1941 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1942 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1943 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1944 print.
1945 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1946 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1947 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1948 64-bit boundary.
1949 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1950 skip the Digest keyword.
1951 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1952 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1953 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1954 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1955 authentication from passwd.md5.
1956 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1957 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1958 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1959 PPD files should start much faster now.
1960 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1961 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1962 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1963 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1964 times.
1965 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1966 code if an error occurred.
1967 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1968 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1969 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1970 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1971 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1972 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1973 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1974 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1975 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1976 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1977 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1978 copies would come out instead of N.
1979 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1980 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1981 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1982 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1983 output an even number of pages.
1984 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1985 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1986 from being cancelled early.
1987 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1988 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1989 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1990 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1991 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1992 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1993 "ESC i" graphics command.
1994 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1995 printers to a local class.
1996 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1997 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1998 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1999 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
2000 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
2001 printers that were part of a class.
2002 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
2003 printer more than once.
2004 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
2005 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
2006 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
2007 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
2008 account.
2009 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
2010 against a location of "/printers/name".
2011 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
2012 upgrades properly.
2013 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
2014 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
2015 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
2016 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
2017 when using Digest authentication.
2018 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
2019 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
2020 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
2021 file.
2022 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
2023 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
2024 server.
2025 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
2026 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
2027 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
2028 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
2029 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
2030 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
2031 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
2032 not the empty string.
2033 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
2034 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
2035 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
2036 unsupported attributes which should normally be
2037 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
2038 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
2039 supported file types into the
2040 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
2041 clients to not send the local file type (such as
2042 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
2043 corresponding bad output in some cases.
2044 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
2045 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
2046 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
2047 or behave irratically.
2048 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
2049 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
2050 specified.
2051 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
2052 completed or reported as "pending-held".
2053 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
2054 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
2055 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
2056 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
2057 retrieve and update the server configuration files
2058 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
2059 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
2060 location or description of the printer.
2061 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
2062 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
2063 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
2064 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
2065 multiple groups.
2066 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
2067 Apache.
2068 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
2069 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
2070 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
2071 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
2072 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
2073 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
2074 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
2075 the page-ranges option from working properly.
2076 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
2077 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
2078 Ghostscript code.
2079 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
2080 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
2081 size instead of percent of page size.)
2082 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
2083 instead of root.
2084 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
2085 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
2086 size options.
2087 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2088 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2089 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2090 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2091 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2092 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2093 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2094 character.
2095
2096
2097 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2098
2099 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2100 package for pstoraster.
2101 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2102 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2103 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2104 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2105 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2106 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2107 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2108 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2109 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2110 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2111 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2112 history disabled.
2113 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2114 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2115 connections initially.
2116 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2117 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2118 throughout.
2119 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2120 Richard Begg.)
2121 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2122 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2123 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2124 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2125 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2126 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2127 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2128 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2129 #54489...
2130 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2131 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2132 (only affects page-label and Classification
2133 options.)
2134 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2135 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2136
2137
2138 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2139
2140 - Configuration script changes, including new
2141 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2142 documentation and web content according to your
2143 favorite version of the FHS.
2144 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2145 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2146 test CUPS prior to installation.
2147 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2148 insensitive to match Apache.
2149 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2150 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
2151 directives.
2152 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2153 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2154 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2155 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2156 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2157 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2158 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2159 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2160 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2161 formats are supported at present.)
2162 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2163 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2164 all browsing off.
2165 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2166 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2167 document.
2168 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2169 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2170 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2171 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2172 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2173 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2174 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2175 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2176 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2177 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2178 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2179 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2180 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2181 server.
2182 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2183 PJL commands from PPD files.
2184 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2185 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2186 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2187 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2188 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2189 the next/current job in the queue.
2190 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2191 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2192 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2193 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2194 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2195 for Sun Raster images.
2196 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2197 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2198 function.
2199 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2200 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2201 command when printing to USB devices.
2202 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2203 the cupsd.conf file.
2204 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2205 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2206 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2207 /dev/urandom.
2208 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2209 httpGetSubField().
2210 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2211 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2212 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2213 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2214 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2215 CGI was currently running.
2216 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2217 option=true or option=false.
2218 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2219 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2220 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2221 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2222 could cause it to crash.
2223 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2224 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2225 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2226 attribute when altering a job.
2227 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2228 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2229 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2230 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2231 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2232 addresses.
2233 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2234 the current classification on each page.
2235 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2236 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2237 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2238 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2239 encryption.
2240 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2241 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2242 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2243 support instances.
2244 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2245 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2246 and should never be used in a production environment.
2247 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2248 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2249 interface.
2250 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2251 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2252 prevent caching of the results.
2253 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2254 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2255 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2256 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2257 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2258 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2259 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2260 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2261 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2262 submitted by a user.
2263 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2264 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2265 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2266 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2267 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2268 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2269 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2270 embedded spaces.
2271 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2272 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2273 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2274 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2275 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2276 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2277 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2278 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2279 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2280 by the GIMP.
2281 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2282 bypassed the authentication checks.
2283 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2284 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2285 a race condition between the client and server for the
2286 upgrade to TLS.
2287 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2288 the pstops filter.
2289 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2290 the custom page size in the raster header.
2291 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2292 size to the size of the printed image.
2293 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2294 which are required by some printers.
2295 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2296 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2297 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2298 DSC).
2299 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2300 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2301 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2302 driver.
2303 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2304 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2305 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2306 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2307 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2308 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2309 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2310 address this problem.
2311 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2312 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2313 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2314 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2315 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2316 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2317 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2318 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2319 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2320 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2321 to manage print jobs.
2322 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2323 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2324 of 0 length.
2325 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2326 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2327 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2328
2329
2330 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2331
2332 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2333 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2334 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2335 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2336 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2337 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2338 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2339 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2340 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2341 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2342 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2343 /dev/ulptN.
2344 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2345 classes it was a member of.
2346 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2347 implicit status of a class.
2348 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2349 from implicit classes.
2350 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2351 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2352 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2353 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2354 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2355 of the scheduler.
2356 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2357 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2358 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2359 the /#copies variable anymore.
2360 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2361 option.
2362 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2363 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2364 for a bad-request error)
2365 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2366 unimplemented, not invalid.
2367 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2368 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2369 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2370 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2371 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2372 (pstoraster).
2373 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2374 which are not used.
2375 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2376 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2377 cgi_initialize_string().
2378 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2379 ippSetCGIVars()
2380 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2381 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2382 leaks.
2383 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2384 fails.
2385 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2386 setuid() calls.
2387 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2388 calls.
2389 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2390 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2391 bad input.
2392 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2393 missing hex digits.
2394
2395
2396 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2397
2398 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2399 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2400 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2401 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2402 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2403 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2404 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2405 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2406 corruption on many printers)
2407 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2408 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2409 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2410 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2411 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2412 requests.
2413 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2414 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2415 was lost.
2416 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2417 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2418 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2419 to be used for a socket.
2420 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2421 a set were numeric or string types.
2422 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2423 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2424 reading *.conf files.
2425 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2426 same logic as GET requests.
2427 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2428 /index.html to requested directory name.
2429 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2430 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2431 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2432 instead of mode 0600.
2433 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2434 instead of 0600.
2435 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2436 system name in log filenames.
2437 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2438 and hex strings.
2439
2440
2441 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2442
2443 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2444 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2445 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2446
2447
2448 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2449
2450 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2451 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2452 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2453 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2454 filter programs properly.
2455 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2456 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2457 versions of GCC.
2458 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2459 cancelled in StartJob().
2460 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2461 written with restricted permissions.
2462 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2463 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2464 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2465 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2466 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2467 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2468 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2469 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2470 syslog file.
2471 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2472 and only specifies the document format if it is
2473 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2474 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2475 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2476 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2477 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2478 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2479 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2480 cancelled.
2481 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2482 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2483 sporatic web interface problems.
2484 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2485 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2486 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2487 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2488 whitespace.
2489 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2490 instead of an integer.
2491 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2492 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2493 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2494 and user-level access control.
2495 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2496 encryption.
2497 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2498 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2499 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2500 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2501 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2502 to the man page.
2503 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2504 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2505 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2506 queued for a printer.
2507 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2508 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2509 reporting.
2510
2511
2512 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2513
2514 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2515 code.
2516 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2517 check in backend/serial.c.
2518 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2519 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2520 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2521 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2522 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2523 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2524 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2525 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2526 anyways)
2527
2528
2529 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2530
2531 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2532 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2533 for run level 5.
2534 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2535 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2536 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2537 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2538 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2539 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2540 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2541
2542
2543 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2544
2545 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2546 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2547 access from the local system.
2548 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2549 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2550 - Documentation updates.
2551 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2552 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2553 RedHat or Mandrake.
2554 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2555 warnings.
2556 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2557 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2558 hex)
2559 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2560 crash the server.
2561 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2562 correct value length for name-with-language and
2563 text-with-language attributes.
2564 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2565 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2566 efficient IPP server performance.
2567 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2568 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2569 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2570 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2571 attack.
2572 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2573 data required when getting the list of printer or
2574 class information. This should improve performance
2575 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2576 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2577 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2578 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2579 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2580 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2581 override the lpoptions default printer.
2582 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2583 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2584 attributes.
2585 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2586 did not check for the correct value for collated
2587 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2588 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2589 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2590 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2591 scale mode 2.
2592 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2593 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2594 that started with a number.
2595 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2596 multiple times in name-with-language and
2597 text-with-language attributes.
2598 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2599 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2600 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2601 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2602 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2603 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2604 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2605 close the spool directory.
2606 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2607 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2608 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2609 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2610 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2611 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2612 larger than the source string; this protects
2613 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2614 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2615 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2616 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2617 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2618 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2619 remote printers.
2620 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2621 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2622 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2623 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2624 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2625 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2626 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2627 3-argument contains() function.
2628 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2629 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2630 database containing 0 printers.
2631 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2632 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2633 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2634 printer was always busy.
2635 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2636 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2637 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2638 jobs.
2639 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2640 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2641 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2642 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2643 57600 and 115200 baud.
2644 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2645 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2646 option in the device URI.
2647 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2648 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2649 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2650 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2651 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2652 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2653 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2654 job attributes to be changed.
2655 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2656 web interface.
2657 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2658 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2659 since they do not map)
2660 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2661 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2662 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2663 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2664 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2665 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2666 child signals while loading devices.
2667 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2668 and classes.
2669 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2670 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2671 driver dithering code.
2672 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2673 after the first active printer.
2674 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2675 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2676 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2677 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2678 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2679 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2680 accepted null values.
2681 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2682 of the backends.
2683 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2684 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2685 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2686 is set in the plot file.
2687 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2688 user name, causing it to always fail.
2689 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2690 under Windows.
2691 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2692 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2693 didn't handle control file job information in any
2694 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2695 a file.
2696 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2697 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2698 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2699 printing on some systems.
2700 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2701 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2702 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2703 it.
2704
2705
2706 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2707
2708 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2709 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2710 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2711 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2712 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2713 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2714 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2715 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2716 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2717 order, which prevented remote printing.
2718 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2719 IPP requests and language information when closing
2720 a client connection.
2721 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2722 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2723 compatibles)
2724 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2725 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2726 on many OS's.
2727 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2728 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2729 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2730 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2731 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2732 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2733 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2734 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2735 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2736 PPD files.
2737 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2738 when the destination printer supported it. This
2739 caused problems when printing text files to other
2740 CUPS servers.
2741 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2742 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2743 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2744 the dates.)
2745 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2746 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2747 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2748 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2749 be clipped.
2750
2751
2752 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2753
2754 - Makefile fixes.
2755 - RPM spec file changes.
2756 - Documentation updates.
2757 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2758 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2759 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2760 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2761 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2762 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2763 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2764 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2765 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2766 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2767 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2768 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2769 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2770 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2771 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2772 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2773 specified.
2774 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2775 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2776 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2777 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2778 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2779 cupsd.conf.
2780 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2781 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2782 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2783 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2784 filter mode 'l'.
2785 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2786 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2787 defaults for all print queues.
2788 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2789 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2790 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2791 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2792 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2793 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2794 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2795 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2796 printer was defined with the same name.
2797 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2798 remove options for a printer or instance.
2799 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2800 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2801 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2802 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2803 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2804 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2805 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2806 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2807 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2808 job-printer-uri attribute.
2809 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2810 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2811 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2812 remote printers.
2813 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2814 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2815 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2816 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2817 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2818 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2819 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2820 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2821 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2822 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2823 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2824 printer set using lpoptions.
2825 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2826 list the printer-specific options and their current
2827 settings.
2828 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2829 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2830 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2831 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2832 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2833 text printing.
2834 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2835 instances.
2836 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2837 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2838 limit.
2839 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2840 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2841 new client connections.
2842 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2843 required pagedevice parameters.
2844 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2845 under Linux.
2846 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2847 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2848 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2849 would stop processing.
2850 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2851 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2852 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2853 that was currently printing a job.
2854 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2855 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2856 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2857 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2858 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2859 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2860 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2861 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2862 option values separated by commas.
2863 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2864 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2865 and free bytes once a minute)
2866 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2867 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2868 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2869 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2870 printers.
2871 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2872 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2873 requests from that address to the server name.
2874 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2875 server.domain.com to localhost.
2876 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2877 the previous device and driver settings (except
2878 for serial ports.)
2879 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2880 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2881 after a job is completed when job file history is
2882 turned off.
2883 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2884 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2885 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2886 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2887 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2888 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2889 for "lpstat -v" output.
2890 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2891 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2892 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2893 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2894 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2895 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2896 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2897 by itself without quoting.
2898
2899
2900 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2901
2902 - Makefile/configure fixes
2903 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2904 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2905 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2906 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2907 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2908 number generator for certificates.
2909 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2910 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2911 the filter user, typically "lp".
2912 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2913 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2914 user.
2915 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2916 function.
2917 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2918 standard input.
2919 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2920 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2921 page header as needed.
2922 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2923 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2924 immediately when last-document was true.
2925 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2926 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2927 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2928 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2929 and many PS printers.
2930 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2931 filters.
2932 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2933 debugging problems.
2934 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2935 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2936 calling problem...)
2937 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2938 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2939 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2940 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2941 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2942 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2943 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2944 by default.
2945 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2946 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2947 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2948 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2949 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2950 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2951 CUPS software.
2952
2953
2954 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2955
2956 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2957 old PDF filter files.
2958 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2959 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2960 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2961 network devices.
2962 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2963 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2964 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2965 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2966 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2967 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2968 is defined otherwise.
2969 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2970 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2971 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2972 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2973 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2974 0-length PPD file was read.
2975 - The image filters were not handling images with
2976 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2977 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2978 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2979 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2980 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2981 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2982 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2983 documents if they don't have it.
2984 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2985 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2986 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2987 --prefix was specified.
2988 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2989 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2990 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2991 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2992 color mode until it can be fixed.
2993 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2994 correctly in all cases.
2995 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2996 time in banner files.
2997
2998
2999 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
3000
3001 - Documentation updates.
3002 - Configuration script updates.
3003 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
3004 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
3005 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
3006 ppd_file_t structure.
3007 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
3008 before it was used.
3009 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3010 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3011 the localhost address.
3012 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3013 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3014 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3015 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3016 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3017 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3018 PDF support.
3019 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3020 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3021 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3022 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3023 pstoraster.
3024 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3025 the user.
3026 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3027 not running.
3028 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3029 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3030 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3031 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3032 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3033 setpagedevice operator.
3034 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3035 the default banner pages.
3036 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3037 "position" option.
3038 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3039 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3040 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3041 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3042 "printer@server") when possible.
3043 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3044 with no PageSize attributes.
3045 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3046 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3047 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3048 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3049 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3050 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3051 cupsd.
3052 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3053 locations.
3054 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3055 variables to specify installation directories as
3056 needed.
3057 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3058 when the scheduler is started.
3059 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3060 printer.
3061 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3062 printer are automatically deleted.
3063 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3064 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3065 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3066 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3067 request.
3068 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3069 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3070 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3071 is "no-hold".
3072 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3073 responses.
3074 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3075 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3076 printer.
3077 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3078 request fails.
3079 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3080 printer and class names.
3081 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3082 received in a POST request.
3083
3084
3085 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3086
3087 - Documentation updates.
3088 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3089 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3090 method.
3091 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3092 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3093 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3094 - Missing the job-restart template.
3095 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3096 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3097 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3098 not specified.
3099 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3100 from getting through.
3101 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3102 stderr.
3103 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3104 job name and display string, if supported.
3105 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3106 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3107 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3108 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3109 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3110 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3111 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3112 UTF-8...
3113 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3114 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3115 could cause cupsd to crash.
3116 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3117 crash.
3118 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3119 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3120 "HH:MM:SS".
3121 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3122 connection structure.
3123 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3124 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3125 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3126 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3127 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3128 is a potential security hole.
3129 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3130 new pstoraster.
3131 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3132 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3133 (/dev/usblp#)
3134 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3135 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3136 release.
3137
3138
3139 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3140
3141 - Documentation updates.
3142 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3143 now compile better under *BSD.)
3144 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3145 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3146 tray was selected.
3147 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3148 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3149 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3150 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3151 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3152 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3153 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3154 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3155 can handle.
3156 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3157 cause cupsd to crash.
3158 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3159 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3160 mime.types file.
3161 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3162 of file to be used as a banner.
3163 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3164 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3165 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3166 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3167 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3168 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3169 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3170 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3171 the IANA registrations.
3172 - New PostScript banner pages.
3173 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3174 filter.
3175 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3176 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3177 code.
3178 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3179 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3180 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3181 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3182 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3183 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3184 accurate width specification.
3185 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3186 files.
3187 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3188 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3189 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3190 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3191 that support it.
3192 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3193 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3194 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3195 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3196 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3197 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3198 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3199 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3200 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3201 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3202
3203
3204 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3205
3206 - Documentation updates.
3207 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3208 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3209 shell and Bash.
3210 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3211 code.
3212 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3213 manufacturer in the PPD.
3214 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3215 output attributes to be set.
3216 - Added banner page support.
3217 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3218 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3219 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3220 timezone offset.
3221 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3222 file is generated).
3223 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3224 printers when they became available.
3225 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3226 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3227 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3228 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3229 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3230 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3231 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3232 (override with -f)
3233 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3234 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3235 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3236 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3237 folks.
3238 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3239 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3240 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3241 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3242 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3243 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3244 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3245 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3246 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3247 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3248 languages (still only have templates for English)
3249 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3250 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3251 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3252 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3253 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3254 needed for some sites)
3255 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3256 templates.
3257 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3258 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3259 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3260 specific printer.
3261 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3262 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3263 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3264 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3265 authentication.
3266 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3267 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3268 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3269 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3270 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3271 filter.
3272 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3273 US-ASCII.
3274 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3275 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3276 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3277 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3278 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3279 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3280 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3281 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3282 basis without environment variables.
3283 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3284
3285
3286 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3287
3288 - Documentation updates.
3289 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3290 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3291 printer.
3292 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3293 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3294 distribution.
3295 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3296 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3297 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3298 to match the IPP spec.
3299 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3300 (previously they would be ignored)
3301 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3302 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3303 machines.
3304 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3305 and printer.
3306 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3307 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3308 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3309 BrowseRelay directives.
3310 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3311 still receives information on remote printers.
3312 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3313 networks)
3314 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3315 of PPD files.
3316 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3317 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3318 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3319 close their input files.
3320
3321
3322 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3323
3324 - NEW web-based administration interface.

3329 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3330 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3331 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3332 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3333 administration.
3334 - NEW USB backend.
3335 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3336 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3337 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3338 print queue problems that have been reported.
3339 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3340 was being used.
3341 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3342 printer.
3343 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3344 printer.
