57
58 - Fixed a denial-of-service bug in the CUPS browse

75 localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
76 work (STR #850)
77 - The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
78 communicating with a remote server; this caused

94 use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (STR #818)
95 - The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
96 constant when the configure script detected the
97 usersec.h header file. This caused authentication

129 - The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
130 when it is available (STR #752)
131 - The IPP backend did not report the printer state if
132 the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
133 - The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
134 messages (STR #745)
135 - Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept

139 - The scheduler did not correctly throttle the browse
140 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
141 machines (STR #754)
142 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
143 setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
144 systems which used non-standard encryption settings
145 (STR #773)
146 - The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
147 11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (STR #769)
148 - "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
149 error in the man page makefiles (STR #775)
150 - Changed some calls to snprintf() in the scheduler to
151 SetStringf() (STR #740)
152

187 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
188 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
189 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
190 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
191 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
192 #700)
193 - cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
194 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic

223 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
224 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
225 empty" (STR #660)
226 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
227 comparison when checking for group membership, which
228 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
229 (STR #647)

311 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
312 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
313 (STR #565)

318 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
319 long filenames (STR #560)
320 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
321 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other

373 - The French web interface localization did not use
374 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)

410 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
411 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny

432 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
433 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
434 #354)

461 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
462 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
463 names, which caused some problems with the generated
464 URLs (STR #320)

466 option (STR #331)
467
468

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

3052
3053 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
3054
3055 - Documentation updates.
3056 - Configuration script updates.
3057 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
3058 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
3059 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
3060 ppd_file_t structure.
3061 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
3062 before it was used.
3063 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3064 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3065 the localhost address.
3066 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3067 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3068 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3069 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3070 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3071 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3072 PDF support.
3073 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3074 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3075 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3076 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3077 pstoraster.
3078 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3079 the user.
3080 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3081 not running.
3082 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3083 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3084 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3085 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3086 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3087 setpagedevice operator.
3088 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3089 the default banner pages.
3090 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3091 "position" option.
3092 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3093 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3094 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3095 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3096 "printer@server") when possible.
3097 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3098 with no PageSize attributes.
3099 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3100 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3101 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3102 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3103 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3104 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3105 cupsd.
3106 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3107 locations.
3108 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3109 variables to specify installation directories as
3110 needed.
3111 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3112 when the scheduler is started.
3113 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3114 printer.
3115 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3116 printer are automatically deleted.
3117 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3118 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3119 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3120 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3121 request.
3122 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3123 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3124 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3125 is "no-hold".
3126 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3127 responses.
3128 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3129 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3130 printer.
3131 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3132 request fails.
3133 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3134 printer and class names.
3135 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3136 received in a POST request.
3137
3138
3139 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3140
3141 - Documentation updates.
3142 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3143 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3144 method.
3145 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3146 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3147 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3148 - Missing the job-restart template.
3149 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3150 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3151 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3152 not specified.
3153 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3154 from getting through.
3155 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3156 stderr.
3157 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3158 job name and display string, if supported.
3159 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3160 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3161 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3162 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3163 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3164 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3165 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3166 UTF-8...
3167 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3168 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3169 could cause cupsd to crash.
3170 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3171 crash.
3172 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3173 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3174 "HH:MM:SS".
3175 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3176 connection structure.
3177 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3178 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3179 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3180 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3181 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3182 is a potential security hole.
3183 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3184 new pstoraster.
3185 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3186 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3187 (/dev/usblp#)
3188 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3189 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3190 release.
3191
3192
3193 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3194
3195 - Documentation updates.
3196 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3197 now compile better under *BSD.)
3198 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3199 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3200 tray was selected.
3201 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3202 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3203 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3204 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3205 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3206 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3207 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3208 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3209 can handle.
3210 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3211 cause cupsd to crash.
3212 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3213 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3214 mime.types file.
3215 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3216 of file to be used as a banner.
3217 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3218 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3219 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3220 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3221 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3222 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3223 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3224 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3225 the IANA registrations.
3226 - New PostScript banner pages.
3227 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3228 filter.
3229 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3230 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3231 code.
3232 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3233 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3234 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3235 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3236 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3237 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3238 accurate width specification.
3239 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3240 files.
3241 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3242 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3243 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3244 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3245 that support it.
3246 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3247 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3248 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3249 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3250 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3251 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3252 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3253 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3254 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3255 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3256
3257
3258 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3259
3260 - Documentation updates.
3261 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3262 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3263 shell and Bash.
3264 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3265 code.
3266 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3267 manufacturer in the PPD.
3268 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3269 output attributes to be set.
3270 - Added banner page support.
3271 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3272 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3273 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3274 timezone offset.
3275 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3276 file is generated).
3277 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3278 printers when they became available.
3279 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3280 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3281 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3282 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3283 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3284 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3285 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3286 (override with -f)
3287 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3288 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3289 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3290 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3291 folks.
3292 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3293 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3294 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3295 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3296 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3297 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3298 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3299 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3300 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3301 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3302 languages (still only have templates for English)
3303 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3304 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3305 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3306 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3307 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3308 needed for some sites)
3309 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3310 templates.
3311 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3312 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3313 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3314 specific printer.
3315 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3316 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3317 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3318 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3319 authentication.
3320 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3321 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3322 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3323 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3324 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3325 filter.
3326 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3327 US-ASCII.
3328 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3329 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3330 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3331 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3332 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3333 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3334 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3335 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3336 basis without environment variables.
3337 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3338
3339
3340 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3341
3342 - Documentation updates.
3343 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3344 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3345 printer.
3346 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3347 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3348 distribution.
3349 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3350 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3351 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3352 to match the IPP spec.
3353 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3354 (previously they would be ignored)
3355 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3356 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3357 machines.
3358 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3359 and printer.
3360 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3361 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3362 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3363 BrowseRelay directives.
3364 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3365 still receives information on remote printers.
3366 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3367 networks)
3368 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3369 of PPD files.
3370 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3371 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3372 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3373 close their input files.
3374
3375
3376 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3377
3378 - NEW web-based administration interface.

3383 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3384 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3385 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3386 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3387 administration.
3388 - NEW USB backend.
3389 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.

3391 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3392 print queue problems that have been reported.
3393 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3394 was being used.
3395 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3396 printer.
