16 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21
17
18 - The scheduler did not separate Digest authentication
19 parameters with commas (STR #882)
20 - Fixed some problems with image printing to custom page

22 - Removed the remaining scheduler code that did not use
23 the "close-on-exec" file descriptor flag to speed up
24 program invocations (STR #890)
25 - The "lpr -r" command removed the print file even if it
26 was not printed. It now only removes the file if the
27 job is successfully created (STR #886)
28 - Revamped the custom page size orientation fix (STR
29 #127)
30 - The lp, lpq, lpr, and lpstat commands now report when

32 printer instead of just saying "no default
33 destination" (STR #879)
34 - Queue names with 2 periods (e.g. "printer..2") were
35 not supported (STR #866)
36
37
38 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc2
39
40 - Fixed a denial-of-service bug in the CUPS browse
41 protocol support (STR #863)
42 - The scheduler used a select() timeout of INT_MAX
43 seconds when there was nothing to do, which doesn't
44 work on IRIX (STR #864)
45 - Updated the cupsaddsmb program to use the new Windows
46 2000 PostScript drivers instead of the Windows NT
47 printer drivers (STR #390)
48 - The gziptoany filter did not produce copies for raw
49 print jobs (STR #808)
50 - The cupsLangGet() function now uses nl_langinfo(),

52 - Added a ReloadTimeout directive to control how long
53 the scheduler waits for jobs to complete before
54 restarting the scheduler (STR #861)
55 - Added a note to the default cupsd.conf file which
56 mentions that you must allow connections from
57 localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
58 work (STR #850)
59 - The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
60 communicating with a remote server; this caused
61 problems with some custom configurations (STR #852)
62 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon wasn't using the right
63 default banner option (STR #851)

76 use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (STR #818)
77 - The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
78 constant when the configure script detected the
79 usersec.h header file. This caused authentication
80 errors on AIX (STR #832)
81 - The lp and lpr commands now report the temporary
82 filename and error if they are unable to create a
83 temporary file (STR #812)
84 - Added ServerTokens directive to control the Server
85 header in HTTP responses (STR #792)

110 STR #802)
111 - The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
112 when it is available (STR #752)
113 - The IPP backend did not report the printer state if
114 the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
115 - The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
116 messages (STR #745)
117 - Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
118 a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
119 prompts. This resolves a previous authentication

121 - The scheduler did not correctly throttle the browse
122 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
123 machines (STR #754)
124 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
125 setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
126 systems which used non-standard encryption settings
127 (STR #773)
128 - The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
129 11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (STR #769)
130 - "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
131 error in the man page makefiles (STR #775)
132 - Changed some calls to snprintf() in the scheduler to
133 SetStringf() (STR #740)
134

148 a default printer (STR #728)
149 - The PAM checks in the configure script did not stop
150 after the first match (STR #728)

168 - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
169 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
170 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
171 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
172 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
173 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
174 #700)
175 - cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
176 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic
177 problems with IPP printers from some vendors (STR
178 #716)
179 - The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL
180 language (STR #713)

197 - The image filters did not correctly load 1-bit PNG
198 files (STR #687)
199 - The pdftops filter did not show all annotation objects

205 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
206 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
207 empty" (STR #660)
208 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
209 comparison when checking for group membership, which
210 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
211 (STR #647)
212 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated

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

300 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
301 long filenames (STR #560)
302 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
303 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
304 information from being updated (STR #562)

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

358 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
359 test results (STR #380)
360 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
361 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)

390
391 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
392 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
393 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
394 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off

412 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
413 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
414 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
415 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
416 #354)

439
440 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
441 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
442 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
443 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
444 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
445 names, which caused some problems with the generated
446 URLs (STR #320)
447 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
448 option (STR #331)
449
450
451 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3

453 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
454 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
455 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
456 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
457 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
458 arguments (STR #313)
459 - The web admin interface did not display an error
460 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
461 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
462 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
463 #292)

465
466 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
467

481 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
482 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
483 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
484 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
485 very difficult (STR #277)
486 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
487 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
488 the filter group (STR #283)

497 language localization for a request; this caused extra
498 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
499 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
500 one language specified (STR #267)

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

3035 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
3036
3037 - Documentation updates.
3038 - Configuration script updates.
3039 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
3040 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
3041 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
3042 ppd_file_t structure.
3043 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
3044 before it was used.
3045 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3046 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3047 the localhost address.
3048 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3049 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3050 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3051 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3052 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3053 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3054 PDF support.
3055 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3056 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3057 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3058 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3059 pstoraster.
3060 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3061 the user.
3062 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3063 not running.
3064 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3065 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3066 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3067 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3068 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3069 setpagedevice operator.
3070 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3071 the default banner pages.
3072 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3073 "position" option.
3074 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3075 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3076 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3077 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3078 "printer@server") when possible.
3079 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3080 with no PageSize attributes.
3081 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3082 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3083 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3084 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3085 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3086 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3087 cupsd.
3088 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3089 locations.
3090 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3091 variables to specify installation directories as
3092 needed.
3093 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3094 when the scheduler is started.
3095 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3096 printer.
3097 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3098 printer are automatically deleted.
3099 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3100 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3101 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3102 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3103 request.
3104 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3105 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3106 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3107 is "no-hold".
3108 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3109 responses.
3110 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3111 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3112 printer.
3113 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3114 request fails.
3115 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3116 printer and class names.
3117 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3118 received in a POST request.
3119
3120
3121 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3122
3123 - Documentation updates.
3124 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3125 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3126 method.
3127 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3128 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3129 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3130 - Missing the job-restart template.
3131 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3132 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3133 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3134 not specified.
3135 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3136 from getting through.
3137 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3138 stderr.
3139 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3140 job name and display string, if supported.
3141 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3142 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3143 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3144 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3145 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3146 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3147 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3148 UTF-8...
3149 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3150 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3151 could cause cupsd to crash.
3152 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3153 crash.
3154 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3155 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3156 "HH:MM:SS".
3157 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3158 connection structure.
3159 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3160 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3161 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3162 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3163 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3164 is a potential security hole.
3165 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3166 new pstoraster.
3167 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3168 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3169 (/dev/usblp#)
3170 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3171 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3172 release.
3173
3174
3175 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3176
3177 - Documentation updates.
3178 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3179 now compile better under *BSD.)
3180 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3181 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3182 tray was selected.
3183 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3184 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3185 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3186 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3187 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3188 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3189 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3190 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3191 can handle.
3192 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3193 cause cupsd to crash.
3194 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3195 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3196 mime.types file.
3197 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3198 of file to be used as a banner.
3199 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3200 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3201 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3202 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3203 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3204 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3205 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3206 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3207 the IANA registrations.
3208 - New PostScript banner pages.
3209 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3210 filter.
3211 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3212 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3213 code.
3214 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3215 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3216 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3217 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3218 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3219 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3220 accurate width specification.
3221 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3222 files.
3223 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3224 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3225 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3226 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3227 that support it.
3228 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3229 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3230 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3231 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3232 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3233 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3234 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3235 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3236 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3237 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3238
3239
3240 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3241
3242 - Documentation updates.
3243 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3244 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3245 shell and Bash.
3246 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3247 code.
3248 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3249 manufacturer in the PPD.
3250 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3251 output attributes to be set.
3252 - Added banner page support.
3253 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3254 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3255 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3256 timezone offset.
3257 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3258 file is generated).
3259 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3260 printers when they became available.
3261 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3262 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3263 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3264 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3265 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3266 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3267 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3268 (override with -f)
3269 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3270 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3271 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3272 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3273 folks.
3274 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3275 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3276 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3277 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3278 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3279 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3280 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3281 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3282 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3283 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3284 languages (still only have templates for English)
3285 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3286 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3287 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3288 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3289 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3290 needed for some sites)
3291 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3292 templates.
3293 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3294 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3295 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3296 specific printer.
3297 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3298 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3299 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3300 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3301 authentication.
3302 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3303 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3304 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3305 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3306 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3307 filter.
3308 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3309 US-ASCII.
3310 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3311 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3312 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3313 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3314 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3315 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3316 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3317 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3318 basis without environment variables.
3319 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3320
3321
3322 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3323
3324 - Documentation updates.
3325 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3326 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3327 printer.
3328 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3329 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3330 distribution.
3331 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3332 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3333 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3334 to match the IPP spec.
3335 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3336 (previously they would be ignored)
3337 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3338 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3339 machines.
3340 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3341 and printer.
3342 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3343 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3344 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3345 BrowseRelay directives.
3346 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3347 still receives information on remote printers.
3348 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3349 networks)
3350 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3351 of PPD files.
3352 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3353 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3354 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3355 close their input files.
3356
3357
3358 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3359
3360 - NEW web-based administration interface.
3361 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
3362 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
3363 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
3364 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
3365 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3366 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3367 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3368 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3369 administration.
3370 - NEW USB backend.
3371 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3372 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3373 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3374 print queue problems that have been reported.
3375 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3376 was being used.
3377 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3378 printer.
3379 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3380 printer.
