4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc1
5
6 - The PPD conformance tests did not catch group
7 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
8 size (STR #454)
9 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the
10 client connection on errors rather than shutting down
11 the receive end of the socket; this caused resource
12 problems on some systems (STR #434)
13 - cups-polld didn't compile on Tru64 5.1B (STR #436)
14 - "lpc stat" crashed if the device URI was empty (STR
15 #548)
16 - The scheduler did not compile without zlib (STR #433)
17 - std:floor() cast needed on IRIX 6.5 with SGI C++
18 compiler (STR #497)
19 - cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() did
20 not handle EAGAIN and EINTR properly (STR #473)
21 - RequiresPageRegion should not be consulted for Manual
22 Feed (STR #514)
23 - International characters were not substituted in
24 banner files properly (STR #468)
25 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 2.03 code to fix printing bugs
26 (STR #470)
27 - The Digest authentication code did not include the
28 (required) "uri" attribute in the Authorization
29 response, preventing interoperation with Apache
30 (STR #408)
31 - The web interface could lockup when displaying certain
32 URLs (STR #459)
33 - The PostScript filters now convert underscores ("_")
34 to spaces for custom classification names (STR #555)
35
36
37 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
38
39 - The pstops filter didn't properly handle collated,
40 duplexed copies of documents with an odd number of
41 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
42 copies (STR #389)
43 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
44 #430)
45 - Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags
46 instead of the subtype to determine whether to print
47 an annotation (STR #425)
48 - The French web interface localization did not use
49 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
50 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and
51 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
52 test results (STR #380)
53 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
54 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
55 - The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary
56 files with tmpnam (STR #406)
57 - The HTTP code did not use a case-insensitive
58 comparison when checking for the Basic authentication
59 method (STR #407)
60 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
61 character, which is not required by the Base64
62 encoding specification (STR #407)
63 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
64 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
65 IRIX (STR #422)
66 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
67 to be consistent with the way other signals are
68 handled (STR #423)
69 - The cupsaddsmb program didn't export the new CUPS
70 driver for Windows properly (STR #390)
71 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
72 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
73 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
74 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
75 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
76 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
77 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)
78 - The hpgltops filter did not skip PJL commands (STR
79 #379)
80
81
82 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
83
84 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
85 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
86 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
87 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
88 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
89 the error_log file (STR #337)
90 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
91 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
92 defined PageSize (STR #365)
93 - The IPP code did not wait for a reply indefinitely on
94 HTTP connections in "blocking" mode (STR #377)
95 - The web interfaces did not rewrite the default printer
96 URI properly (STR #299 and #369)
97 - The LPD backend passed the C and L commands in the
98 wrong order (STR #378)
99 - The Dymo label printer driver did not set the label
100 length properly (STR #373)
101 - The scheduler did not support job IDs higher than
102 99999 (STR #371)
103 - The Visual C++ project files did not work (STR #366)
104 - The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
105 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
106 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
107 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
108 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
109 #354)
110 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
111 cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
112 localization data (STR #354)
113 - The scheduler did not return the
114 job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
115 attributes (STR #356)
116 - The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
117 driver for Windows (STR #357)
118
119
120 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
121
122 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
123 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
124 enabled (STR #259)
125 - The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
126 were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
127 - The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
128 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
129
130
131 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
132
133 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
134 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
135 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
136 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
137 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
138 names, which caused some problems with the generated
139 URLs (STR #320)
140 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
141 option (STR #331)
142
143
144 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
145
146 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
147 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
148 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
149 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
150 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
151 arguments (STR #313)
152 - The web admin interface did not display an error
153 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
154 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
155 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
156 #292)
157
158
159 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
160
161 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
162 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
163 printers that returned status info but were not ready
164 for more print data (STR #287)
165 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
166 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
167 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
168 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
169 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
170 #289)
171 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
172 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
173 10.3 (STR #270)
174 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
175 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
176 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
177 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
178 very difficult (STR #277)
179 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
180 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
181 the filter group (STR #283)
182 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
183 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
184 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
185 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
186 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
187 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
188 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
189 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
190 language localization for a request; this caused extra
191 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
192 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
193 one language specified (STR #267)
194
195
196 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
197
198 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
199 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
200 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
201 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
202 is 64 bits (STR #262)
203 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
204 Hat (STR #253)
205 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
206 the standard constants when reporting printer status
207 bits on Linux (STR #254)
208 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
209 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
210 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
211 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
212 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
213 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
214 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
215 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
216 URI (STR #247)
217 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
218 (STR #249)
219 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
220 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
221 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
222 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
223 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
224 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
225 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
226 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
227 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
228 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
229 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
230 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
231 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
232 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
233 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
234 (STR #224)
235 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
236 9 (STR #217)
237 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
238 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
239 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
240 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
241 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
242 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
243 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
244 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
245 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
246 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
247 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
248 level (STR #212)
249 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
250 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
251 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
252 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
253 (STR #209)
254 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
255 page device attributes (STR #208)
256 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
257 the user already had specified the proper orientation
258 (STR #207)
259 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
260 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
261 #193)
262 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
263 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
264 files (STR #192)
265 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
266 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
267 programs rather than the port that the browser
268 connected to (STR #103)
269 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
270 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
271 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
272 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
273 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
274 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
275 files define the job-priority and
276 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
277 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
278 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
279 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
280 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
281 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
282 caused problems with some implementations of the
283 standard C library. (STR #159)
284 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
285 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
286 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
287 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
288 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
289 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
290 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
291 signal handlers (STR #190)
292 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
293 strings if the description string is not available
294 (STR #174)
295 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
296 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
297 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
298 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
299 group (STR #158)
300 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
301 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
302 #147)
303 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
304 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
305 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
306 - Printers with special characters in their names were
307 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
308 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
309 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
310 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
311 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
312 not blank (STR #152)
313 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
314 files did not get installed (STR #148)
315 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
316 without shared libraries (STR #149)
317 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
318 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
319 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
320 capability bit (STR #144)
321 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
322 amount of memory (STR #145)
323 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
324 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
325 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
326 #139)
327 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
328 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
329 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
330 block waiting for data (STR #132)
331 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
332 command after the PJL language escape to work around
333 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
334 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
335 value properly (STR #127)
336 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
337 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
338
339
340 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
341
342 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
343 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
344 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
345 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
346 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
347 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
348 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
349 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
350 options (STR #123)
351 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
352 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
353 #117)
354 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
355 - The configure script didn't specify the static
356 libraries properly when configuring with the
357 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
358 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
359 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
360 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
361 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
362 message (STR #94)
363 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
364
365
366 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
367
368 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
369 classes would get double banner pages for each
370 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
371 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
372 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
373 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
374 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
375 next restart (STR #82)
376 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
377 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
378 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
379 #70)
380 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
381 language preference (STR #78)
382 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
383 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
384 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
385 in banner pages (STR #77)
386 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
387 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
388 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
389 annoying error message (STR #45)
390
391
392 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
393
394 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
395 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
396 #59)
397 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
398 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
399 - The German web interface templates did not use the
400 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
401 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
402 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
403 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
404 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
405 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
406
407
408 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
409
410 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
411 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
412 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
413 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
414 user - STR #48)
415 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
416 (STR #46)
417 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
418 Gilles QUERRET)
419 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
420 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
421 was handled (STR #47)
422 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
423 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
424 interface (STR #40)
425 - The scheduler did not put the
426 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
427 attributes group.
428 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
429 defined by the IPP implementation document.
430 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
431 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
432 and #39)
433 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
434 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
435 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
436 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
437 requirements (STR #33)
438 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
439 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
440 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
441 symlinks (STR #33)
442 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
443 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
444 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
445 hardware (STR #32)
446 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
447 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
448 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
449 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
450 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
451 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
452 Jacke)
453 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
454 Bjoern Jacke)
455
456
457 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
458
459 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
460 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
461 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
462 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
463 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
464 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
465 compilers cannot be found.
466 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
467 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
468 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
469 (STR #28).
470 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
471 not work.
472 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
473 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
474 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
475 was not added to the collection value.
476 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
477 was not added to the collection value.
478 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
479 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
480 directives.
481 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
482 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
483 new configuration directives.
484 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
485 on the page (STR #18)
486 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
487 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
488 #13)
489 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
490 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
491 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
492 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
493 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
494 message files such as those used for the job history
495 in /var/spool/cups.
496
497
498 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
499
500 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
501 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
502 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
503 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
504 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
505 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
506 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
507 permissions of /dev/null...)
508 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
509 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
510 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
511 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
512 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
513 no "lp" queue) is sent.
514 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
515 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
516 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
517 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
518 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
519 retries and the time between retries.
520 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
521 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
522 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
523 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
524 your locale.
525 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
526 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
527 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
528 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
529 compressed using gzip.
530 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
531 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
532 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
533 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
534 a large number of clients connected to the system.
535 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
536 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
537 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
538 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
539 respectively) and has some additional changes to
540 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
541 when only one copy was requested.
542 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
543 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
544 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
545 - Added support for STATE: messages
546 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
547 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
548 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
549 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
550 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
551 root.
552 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
553 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
554 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
555 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
556 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
557 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
558 information.
559 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
560 field.
561 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
562 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
563 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
564 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
565 attribute to control whether job history data is
566 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
567 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
568 implementation.
569 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
570 using SLP browsing.
571 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
572 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
573 filter could be executed.
574 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
575 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
576 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
577 Kubla]
578 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
579 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
580 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
581 sent. It now only references attributes that change
582 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
583 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
584 2k.
585 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
586 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
587 signals on Solaris 8.
588 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
589 by group name as well as user name.
590 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
591 printer was available.
592 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
593 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
594 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
595 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
596 printable area of the page.
597 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
598 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
599 conformant PS files.
600 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
601 the image on the page when printing in landscape
602 orientation.
603 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
604 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
605 and ManualFeed commands.
606 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
607 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
608 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
609 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
610 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
611 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
612 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
613 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
614 list of available devices, when it should have been
615 using the default signal handler.
616 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
617 option with a NULL last string.
618 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
619 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
620 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
621 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
622 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
623 up...
624 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
625 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
626 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
627 non-blocking HTTP connections.
628 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
629 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
630 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
631 value; it is a keyword value.
632 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
633 has gone away and reports an error.
634 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
635 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
636 that support it.
637 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
638 variable under MacOS X.
639 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
640 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
641 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
642 the form "file:///path" properly.
643 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
644 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
645 use when printing binary PostScript data.
646 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
647 directive, so only the first group would be used.
648 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
649 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
650 for systems with large numbers of printers.
651 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
652 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
653 sequence.
654 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
655 the PPD file.
656 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
657 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
658 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
659 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
660 baseline donated by Apple.
661 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
662 Apple.
663 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
664 printer classes on the network.
665 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
666 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
667 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
668 option.
669 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
670 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
671 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
672 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
673 "{?time-at-creation}".
674 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
675 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
676 via IPP.
677 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
678 even if FileDevices is set to No.
679 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
680 when it should have used hstrerror().
681 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
682 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
683 means that printers that don't report their serial
684 numbers in the device ID string will not be
685 individually selectable.
686 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
687 when a page contained an embedded document.
688 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
689 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
690 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
691 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
692 the same.
693 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
694 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
695 of pages with duplexing enabled.
696 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
697 application to add less than 1 value.
698 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
699 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
700 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
701 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
702 too large for the buffer.
703 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
704 by Jeff Licquia.
705 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
706 an attribute definition.
707 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
708 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
709 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
710 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
711 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
712 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
713 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
714 situations. The warning message is now written no more
715 than once per minute.
716 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
717 PS RIPs.
718 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
719 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
720 quotas would not work.
721 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
722 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
723 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
724 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
725 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
726 program or man page files.
727
728
729 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
730
731 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
732 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
733 write a job control file.
734 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
735 directive to control whether new printers can be added
736 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
737 default is to not allow printers with these device
738 URIs.
739 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
740 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
741 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
742 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
743 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
744 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
745 non-conforming PPD file.
746 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
747 TrueType fonts.
748 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
749 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
750 attacks.
751 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
752 interface.
753 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
754 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
755 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
756 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
757 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
758 the scheduler did not close the connections
759 immediately on all platforms.
760 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
761 checks for all image formats.
762 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
763 back to its original at the end of a job; this
764 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
765 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
766 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
767 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
768 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
769 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
770 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
771 PPD files.
772 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
773 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
774 Win9x PostScript drivers.
775 - The web interface did not always report the correct
776 error message.
777 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
778 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
779 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
780 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
781 process from returning.
782
783
784 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
785
786 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
787 backend had to retry a print job.
788 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
789 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
790 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
791 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
792 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
793 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
794 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
795 ticket data.
796 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
797 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
798 after it was shutdown.
799 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
800 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
801 group membership still requires the account name to be
802 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
803 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
804 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
805 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
806 on the options that are sent in a job.
807 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
808 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
809 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
810 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
811 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
812 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
813 longer treated as boolean options.
814 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
815 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
816 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
817 caused by servers sending the status line and
818 newline(s) in separate packets.
819 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
820 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
821 empty.
822 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
823 CUPS supports.
824 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
825 Windows.
826 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
827 printing of Sun Raster images.
828 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
829 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
830 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
831 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
832 (interrupted system call) errors.
833 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
834 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
835 caused by the child signal handler.
836 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
837 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
838 error.
839 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
840 URI syntax.
841 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
842 settings while loading a PPD file.
843 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
844 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
845 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
846 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
847 properly localized time string.
848 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
849 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
850 configuring a printer or class.
851 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
852 filters will not stop a print queue.
853 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
854 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
855 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
856 scheduler.
857 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
858 scheduler so that the printer object information is
859 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
860 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
861 queues.
862 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
863 filename.
864 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
865 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
866 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
867 automatic form feed.
868 - French translation updates.
869 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
870 embedding it in PostScript output.
871 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
872 MacOS X.
873 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
874 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
875 has been removed.
876
877
878 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
879
880 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
881 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
882 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
883 printer.
884 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
885 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
886 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
887 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
888 interface might not work.
889 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
890 you can display completed jobs as well as
891 not-completed (pending) jobs.
892 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
893 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
894 not be printed.
895 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
896 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
897 occurs.
898 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
899 stopped remote printer.
900 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
901 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
902 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
903 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
904 the page number.
905 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
906 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
907 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
908 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
909 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
910 banner pages.
911 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
912 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
913 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
914 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
915 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
916 reliably.
917 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
918 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
919 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
920 using more than one USB printer.
921 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
922 connection when sending an error that requires the
923 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
924 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
925 encryption enabled.
926 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
927 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
928 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
929 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
930 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
931 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
932 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
933 implement the LPD protocol properly...
934 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
935 PostScript or image filters.
936 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
937 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
938 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
939 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
940 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
941 when modifying an active printer.
942 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
943 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
944 defines a circular filter rule.
945 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
946 requirements comment in some cases.
947 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
948 files.
949 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
950 better handle printing EPS files.
951 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
952 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
953 compatibility).
954 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
955 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
956 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
957 number of copies that a user can request.
958 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
959 others and when it forked processes.
960 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
961 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
962 shutdown.
963 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
964 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
965 init script functions, if available.
966 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
967 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
968 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
969 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
970 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
971 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
972 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
973 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
974 printer" status of the printer.
975 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
976 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
977 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
978 a bad or missing temporary directory.
979 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
980 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
981 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
982 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
983 connect to the remote server name in a
984 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
985 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
986 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
987 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
988 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
989 the program would try to print the option letter that
990 caused the error using the wrong index into the
991 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
992 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
993 attributes from printer options in
994 cupsEncodeOptions().
995 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
996 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
997 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
998 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
999 devices under *BSD.
1000 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1001 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1002 characters.
1003 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1004 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1005 the language mode.
1006 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1007 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1008 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1009 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1010 all of the CUPS API functions.
1011 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
1012 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1013 files when configuring a printer.
1014 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1015 printer state before stopping the current job.
1016 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1017 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1018 driver.
1019 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1020 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1021 that printer is available.
1022 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1023 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1024 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1025 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1026 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1027 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
1028 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1029 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1030 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1031 username:password field of a URI.
1032 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1033 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1034 to accept connections.
1035 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1036 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1037 and current directory.
1038 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1039 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1040 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1041 for existing jobs.
1042 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1043 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1044 actually provided.
1045 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
1046 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1047 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
1048 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1049 that do not have a PPD file to export.
1050 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1051 case-insensitive.
1052 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1053 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
1054 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1055 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1056 Solaris.
1057 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1058 printing banner pages.
1059 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1060 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1061 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1062 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1063 a bug in the filter validation code.
1064 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1065 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1066 file.
1067 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1068 description from member printers.
1069 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1070 hostnames that started with a number.
1071 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1072 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1073 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1074 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1075 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1076 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1077 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1078 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1079 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1080 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1081 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1082 up...
1083 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1084 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1085 authentication didn't work for administration
1086 operations.
1087 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1088 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1089 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1090 interface to "localhost".
1091 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1092 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1093 only return textual data.
1094
1095
1096 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1097
1098 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1099 string function header, which is required on systems
1100 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1101 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1102 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1103 have to.
1104
1105
1106 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1107
1108 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1109 license exception.
1110 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1111 name if no value has been set.
1112 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1113 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1114 correct tray.
1115 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1116 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1117 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1118 options.
1119 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1120 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1121 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1122 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1123 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1124 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1125 queues) on the server.
1126 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1127 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1128 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1129 - New SCSI printer backend.
1130 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1131 set definitions.
1132 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1133 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1134 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1135 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1136 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1137 - Added French translation of man pages.
1138 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1139 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1140 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1141 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1142 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1143 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1144 comes from...
1145 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1146 output, as well as new page-border and
1147 number-up-layout options.
1148 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1149 using the default printer.
1150 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1151 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1152 to allow for longer printer names.
1153 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1154 history data.
1155 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1156 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1157 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1158 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1159 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1160 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1161 caused problems on some installations that would
1162 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1163 level 3.
1164 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1165 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1166 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1167 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1168 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1169 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1170 destination printer or class.
1171 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1172 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1173 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1174 (cupsd).
1175 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1176 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1177 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1178 Keep-Alive like they should.
1179 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1180 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1181 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1182 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1183 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1184 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1185 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1186 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1187 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1188 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1189 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1190 of glyphs.
1191 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1192 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1193 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1194 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1195 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1196 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1197 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1198 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1199 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1200 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1201 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1202 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1203 the proper IPP language code.
1204 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1205 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1206 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1207 classes.
1208 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1209 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1210 did not reflect the correct port number.
1211 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1212 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1213 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1214 control and browsing based on the current interface
1215 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1216 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1217 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1218 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1219 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1220 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1221 group.
1222 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1223 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1224 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1225 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1226 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1227 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1228 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1229 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1230 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1231 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1232 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1233 the correct LANG string.
1234 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1235 and SAMBA server names.
1236 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1237 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1238 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1239 generated dependencies.
1240 - Build fixes for OS X.
1241 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1242 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1243 the loader.
1244 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1245 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1246 the prefix "JCL".
1247 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1248 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1249 while the next page is being processed.
1250 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1251 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1252 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1253 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1254 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1255 printers and classes all at once.
1256 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1257 the Linux PPC port.
1258 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1259 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1260 value.
1261 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1262 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1263 other options as strings.
1264 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1265 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1266 that don't end with a newline.
1267 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1268 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1269 option.
1270 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1271 integers and ranges.
1272 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1273 language support for CUPS.
1274
1275
1276 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1277
1278 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1279 attribute name length or string with language value
1280 was not larger than the read buffer.
1281 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1282 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1283 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1284 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1285 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1286 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1287 - MacOS X fixes.
1288 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1289 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1290 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1291 2.2.x.
1292 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1293 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1294 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1295 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1296 require it.
1297
1298
1299 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1300
1301 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1302 regular printer classes.
1303 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1304 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1305 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1306 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1307 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1308 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1309 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1310 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1311 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1312 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1313 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1314 *.convs files.
1315 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1316 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1317 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1318 goes away.
1319 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1320 whitespace after quoted values.
1321 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1322 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1323 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1324 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1325 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1326 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1327 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1328 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1329 match the page orientation.
1330 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1331 connections to improve performance/response time.
1332 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1333 from Andrea Suatoni.
1334 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1335 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1336 tools support.
1337 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1338 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1339 existed.
1340 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1341 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1342 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1343 page-set option.
1344 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1345 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1346 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1347 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1348 etc.)
1349 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1350 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1351 listing for a printer.
1352 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1353 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1354 make third-party tools happy.
1355 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1356 values.
1357 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1358 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1359 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1360 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1361 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1362 files.
1363 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1364 2 element array.
1365 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1366 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1367 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1368 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1369 the password and nonce strings.
1370 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1371 "%%BeginData:".
1372 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1373 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1374 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1375 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1376 classification level, if set. This way the original
1377 banner settings are preserved when classification
1378 levels are changed or turned off.
1379 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1380 did it restore the original settings.
1381 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1382 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1383 system default group was not used.
1384 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1385 send multiple control files.
1386 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1387 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1388 for the "https" scheme.
1389 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1390 from the web interface for accounts other than
1391 "root".
1392 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1393 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1394 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1395 address properly.
1396 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1397 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1398 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1399 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1400 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1401 information under Linux.
1402 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1403 option (if present) in PPD files.
1404 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1405 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1406 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1407 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1408 the lppasswd command.
1409 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1410 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1411 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1412 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1413 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1414 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1415 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1416 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1417 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1418 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1419 restarting cupsd.
1420 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1421 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1422 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1423 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1424 for commands on the standard input.
1425 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1426 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1427 pointer platforms...
1428
1429
1430 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1431
1432 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1433 files.
1434 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1435 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1436 destination type for the new destination.
1437 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1438 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1439 printer ACLs.
1440 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1441 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1442 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1443 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1444 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1445
1446
1447 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1448
1449 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1450 files.
1451 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1452 files.
1453 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1454 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1455 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1456 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1457 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1458 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1459 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1460 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1461 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1462 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1463 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1464 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1465 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1466 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1467 options exceeded 100...]
1468 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1469 was set to "No".
1470 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1471 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1472 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1473 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1474 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1475 faster.
1476 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1477 support properly support the "-h" or default
1478 server name.
1479 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1480 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1481 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1482 support printer instances.
1483 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1484 underline formatting.
1485 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1486 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1487 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1488 (-1).
1489 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1490 from printing to printers in that class.
1491 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1492 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1493 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1494 slower systems since more information had to be
1495 transferred from server to client.
1496 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1497 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1498 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1499 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1500 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1501 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1502 processing.
1503 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1504 to stderr instead of stdout...
1505 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1506 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1507 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1508 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1509 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1510 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1511 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1512 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1513 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1514 the Spanish banner files.
1515 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1516 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1517 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1518 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1519 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1520 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1521 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1522 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1523 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1524 information when printing via LPD.
1525 - Added many warning and informational messages
1526 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1527 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1528 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1529 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1530 provided.
1531 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1532 cupsd.conf.
1533 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1534 32k.
1535 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1536 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1537 possible.
1538 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1539 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1540 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1541 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1542 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1543 long values.
1544 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1545 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1546 to CGIs.
1547 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1548 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1549 time.
1550 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1551 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1552 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1553 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1554 result in a blank page being output...
1555 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1556 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1557 page comments when printing files directly...)
1558 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1559 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1560 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1561 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1562 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1563 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1564 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1565 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1566 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1567 original destination.
1568 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1569 requested-attributes attribute in the
1570 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1571 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1572 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1573 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1574 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1575 prints.
1576
1577
1578 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1579
1580 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1581 makefiles to install files properly.
1582
1583
1584 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1585
1586 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1587 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1588 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1589 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1590 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1591 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1592 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1593 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1594 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1595 server.
1596 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1597 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1598 with some types of flow control.
1599 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1600 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1601 server.
1602 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1603 lines in the configuration files.
1604 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1605 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1606 from the server.
1607 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1608 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1609 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1610 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1611 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1612 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1613 script. Previously the job's document format was
1614 used, which was incorrect.
1615 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1616 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1617 "raw" model from the command-line.
1618 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1619 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1620 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1621 printers.
1622 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1623 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1624 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1625 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1626 which caused some confusion... :)
1627 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1628 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1629
1630
1631 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1632
1633 - The configure script did not substitute the
1634 correct user and group names.
1635 - The configure script did not use the full path
1636 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1637 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1638 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1639 duplexing.
1640 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1641 distribution.
1642 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1643 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1644 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1645 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1646 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1647 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1648 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1649 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1650 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1651 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1652 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1653 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1654
1655
1656 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1657
1658 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1659 approach for the various tests.
1660 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1661 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1662 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1663 options to specify the default user and group for
1664 CUPS.
1665 - Added AIX shared library support.
1666 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1667 parallel ports.
1668 - Now use install program or script to install
1669 directories, files, and symlinks.
1670 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1671 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1672 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1673 print.
1674 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1675 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1676 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1677 64-bit boundary.
1678 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1679 skip the Digest keyword.
1680 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1681 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1682 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1683 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1684 authentication from passwd.md5.
1685 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1686 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1687 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1688 PPD files should start much faster now.
1689 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1690 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1691 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1692 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1693 times.
1694 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1695 code if an error occurred.
1696 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1697 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1698 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1699 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1700 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1701 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1702 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1703 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1704 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1705 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1706 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1707 copies would come out instead of N.
1708 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1709 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1710 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1711 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1712 output an even number of pages.
1713 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1714 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1715 from being cancelled early.
1716 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1717 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1718 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1719 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1720 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1721 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1722 "ESC i" graphics command.
1723 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1724 printers to a local class.
1725 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1726 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1727 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1728 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1729 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1730 printers that were part of a class.
1731 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1732 printer more than once.
1733 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1734 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1735 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1736 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1737 account.
1738 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1739 against a location of "/printers/name".
1740 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1741 upgrades properly.
1742 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1743 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1744 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1745 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1746 when using Digest authentication.
1747 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1748 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1749 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1750 file.
1751 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1752 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1753 server.
1754 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1755 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1756 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1757 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1758 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1759 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1760 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1761 not the empty string.
1762 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1763 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1764 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1765 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1766 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1767 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1768 supported file types into the
1769 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1770 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1771 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1772 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1773 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1774 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1775 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1776 or behave irratically.
1777 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1778 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1779 specified.
1780 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1781 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1782 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1783 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1784 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1785 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1786 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1787 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1788 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1789 location or description of the printer.
1790 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1791 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1792 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1793 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1794 multiple groups.
1795 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1796 Apache.
1797 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1798 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1799 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1800 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1801 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1802 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1803 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1804 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1805 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1806 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1807 Ghostscript code.
1808 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1809 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1810 size instead of percent of page size.)
1811 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1812 instead of root.
1813 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1814 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1815 size options.
1816 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1817 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1818 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1819 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1820 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1821 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1822 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1823 character.
1824
1825
1826 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1827
1828 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1829 package for pstoraster.
1830 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1831 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1832 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1833 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1834 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1835 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1836 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1837 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1838 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1839 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1840 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1841 history disabled.
1842 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1843 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1844 connections initially.
1845 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1846 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1847 throughout.
1848 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1849 Richard Begg.)
1850 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1851 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1852 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1853 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1854 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1855 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1856 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1857 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1858 #54489...
1859 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1860 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1861 (only affects page-label and Classification
1862 options.)
1863 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1864 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1865
1866
1867 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1868
1869 - Configuration script changes, including new
1870 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1871 documentation and web content according to your
1872 favorite version of the FHS.
1873 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1874 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1875 test CUPS prior to installation.
1876 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1877 insensitive to match Apache.
1878 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1879 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
1880 directives.
1881 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1882 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1883 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1884 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1885 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1886 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1887 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1888 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1889 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1890 formats are supported at present.)
1891 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1892 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1893 all browsing off.
1894 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1895 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1896 document.
1897 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1898 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1899 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1900 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1901 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1902 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1903 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1904 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1905 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1906 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1907 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1908 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1909 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1910 server.
1911 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1912 PJL commands from PPD files.
1913 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1914 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1915 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1916 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1917 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1918 the next/current job in the queue.
1919 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1920 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1921 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1922 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1923 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1924 for Sun Raster images.
1925 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1926 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1927 function.
1928 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1929 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1930 command when printing to USB devices.
1931 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1932 the cupsd.conf file.
1933 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1934 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1935 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1936 /dev/urandom.
1937 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1938 httpGetSubField().
1939 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1940 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1941 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1942 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1943 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1944 CGI was currently running.
1945 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1946 option=true or option=false.
1947 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1948 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1949 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1950 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1951 could cause it to crash.
1952 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1953 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1954 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1955 attribute when altering a job.
1956 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1957 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1958 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1959 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1960 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1961 addresses.
1962 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1963 the current classification on each page.
1964 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1965 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1966 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1967 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1968 encryption.
1969 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1970 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1971 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1972 support instances.
1973 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1974 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1975 and should never be used in a production environment.
1976 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1977 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1978 interface.
1979 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1980 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1981 prevent caching of the results.
1982 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1983 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1984 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1985 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1986 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1987 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1988 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1989 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1990 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1991 submitted by a user.
1992 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1993 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1994 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1995 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1996 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1997 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1998 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1999 embedded spaces.
2000 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2001 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2002 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2003 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2004 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2005 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2006 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2007 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2008 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2009 by the GIMP.
2010 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2011 bypassed the authentication checks.
2012 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2013 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2014 a race condition between the client and server for the
2015 upgrade to TLS.
2016 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2017 the pstops filter.
2018 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2019 the custom page size in the raster header.
2020 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2021 size to the size of the printed image.
2022 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2023 which are required by some printers.
2024 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2025 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2026 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2027 DSC).
2028 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2029 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2030 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2031 driver.
2032 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2033 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2034 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2035 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2036 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2037 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2038 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2039 address this problem.
2040 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2041 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2042 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2043 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2044 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2045 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2046 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2047 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2048 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2049 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2050 to manage print jobs.
2051 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2052 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2053 of 0 length.
2054 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2055 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2056 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2057
2058
2059 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2060
2061 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2062 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2063 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2064 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2065 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2066 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2067 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2068 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2069 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2070 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2071 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2072 /dev/ulptN.
2073 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2074 classes it was a member of.
2075 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2076 implicit status of a class.
2077 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2078 from implicit classes.
2079 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2080 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2081 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2082 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2083 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2084 of the scheduler.
2085 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2086 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2087 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2088 the /#copies variable anymore.
2089 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2090 option.
2091 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2092 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2093 for a bad-request error)
2094 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2095 unimplemented, not invalid.
2096 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2097 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2098 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2099 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2100 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2101 (pstoraster).
2102 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2103 which are not used.
2104 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2105 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2106 cgi_initialize_string().
2107 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2108 ippSetCGIVars()
2109 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2110 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2111 leaks.
2112 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2113 fails.
2114 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2115 setuid() calls.
2116 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2117 calls.
2118 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2119 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2120 bad input.
2121 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2122 missing hex digits.
2123
2124
2125 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2126
2127 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2128 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2129 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2130 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2131 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2132 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2133 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2134 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2135 corruption on many printers)
2136 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2137 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2138 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2139 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2140 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2141 requests.
2142 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2143 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2144 was lost.
2145 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2146 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2147 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2148 to be used for a socket.
2149 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2150 a set were numeric or string types.
2151 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2152 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2153 reading *.conf files.
2154 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2155 same logic as GET requests.
2156 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2157 /index.html to requested directory name.
2158 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2159 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2160 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2161 instead of mode 0600.
2162 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2163 instead of 0600.
2164 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2165 system name in log filenames.
2166 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2167 and hex strings.
2168
2169
2170 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2171
2172 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2173 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2174 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2175
2176
2177 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2178
2179 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2180 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2181 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2182 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2183 filter programs properly.
2184 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2185 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2186 versions of GCC.
2187 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2188 cancelled in StartJob().
2189 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2190 written with restricted permissions.
2191 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2192 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2193 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2194 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2195 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2196 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2197 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2198 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2199 syslog file.
2200 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2201 and only specifies the document format if it is
2202 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2203 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2204 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2205 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2206 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2207 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2208 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2209 cancelled.
2210 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2211 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2212 sporatic web interface problems.
2213 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2214 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2215 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2216 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2217 whitespace.
2218 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2219 instead of an integer.
2220 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2221 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2222 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2223 and user-level access control.
2224 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2225 encryption.
2226 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2227 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2228 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2229 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2230 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2231 to the man page.
2232 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2233 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2234 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2235 queued for a printer.
2236 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2237 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2238 reporting.
2239
2240
2241 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2242
2243 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2244 code.
2245 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2246 check in backend/serial.c.
2247 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2248 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2249 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2250 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2251 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2252 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2253 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2254 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2255 anyways)
2256
2257
2258 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2259
2260 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2261 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2262 for run level 5.
2263 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2264 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2265 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2266 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2267 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2268 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2269 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2270
2271
2272 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2273
2274 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2275 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2276 access from the local system.
2277 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2278 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2279 - Documentation updates.
2280 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2281 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2282 RedHat or Mandrake.
2283 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2284 warnings.
2285 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2286 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2287 hex)
2288 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2289 crash the server.
2290 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2291 correct value length for name-with-language and
2292 text-with-language attributes.
2293 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2294 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2295 efficient IPP server performance.
2296 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2297 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2298 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2299 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2300 attack.
2301 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2302 data required when getting the list of printer or
2303 class information. This should improve performance
2304 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2305 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2306 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2307 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2308 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2309 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2310 override the lpoptions default printer.
2311 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2312 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2313 attributes.
2314 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2315 did not check for the correct value for collated
2316 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2317 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2318 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2319 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2320 scale mode 2.
2321 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2322 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2323 that started with a number.
2324 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2325 multiple times in name-with-language and
2326 text-with-language attributes.
2327 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2328 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2329 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2330 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2331 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2332 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2333 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2334 close the spool directory.
2335 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2336 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2337 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2338 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2339 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2340 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2341 larger than the source string; this protects
2342 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2343 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2344 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2345 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2346 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2347 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2348 remote printers.
2349 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2350 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2351 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2352 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2353 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2354 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2355 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2356 3-argument contains() function.
2357 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2358 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2359 database containing 0 printers.
2360 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2361 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2362 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2363 printer was always busy.
2364 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2365 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2366 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2367 jobs.
2368 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2369 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2370 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2371 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2372 57600 and 115200 baud.
2373 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2374 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2375 option in the device URI.
2376 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2377 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2378 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2379 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2380 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2381 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2382 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2383 job attributes to be changed.
2384 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2385 web interface.
2386 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2387 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2388 since they do not map)
2389 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2390 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2391 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2392 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2393 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2394 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2395 child signals while loading devices.
2396 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2397 and classes.
2398 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2399 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2400 driver dithering code.
2401 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2402 after the first active printer.
2403 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2404 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2405 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2406 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2407 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2408 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2409 accepted null values.
2410 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2411 of the backends.
2412 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2413 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2414 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2415 is set in the plot file.
2416 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2417 user name, causing it to always fail.
2418 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2419 under Windows.
2420 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2421 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2422 didn't handle control file job information in any
2423 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2424 a file.
2425 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2426 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2427 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2428 printing on some systems.
2429 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2430 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2431 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2432 it.
2433
2434
2435 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2436
2437 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2438 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2439 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2440 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2441 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2442 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2443 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2444 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2445 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2446 order, which prevented remote printing.
2447 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2448 IPP requests and language information when closing
2449 a client connection.
2450 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2451 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2452 compatibles)
2453 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2454 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2455 on many OS's.
2456 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2457 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2458 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2459 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2460 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2461 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2462 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2463 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2464 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2465 PPD files.
2466 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2467 when the destination printer supported it. This
2468 caused problems when printing text files to other
2469 CUPS servers.
2470 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2471 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2472 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2473 the dates.)
2474 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2475 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2476 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2477 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2478 be clipped.
2479
2480
2481 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2482
2483 - Makefile fixes.
2484 - RPM spec file changes.
2485 - Documentation updates.
2486 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2487 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2488 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2489 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2490 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2491 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2492 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2493 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2494 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2495 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2496 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2497 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2498 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2499 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2500 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2501 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2502 specified.
2503 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2504 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2505 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2506 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2507 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2508 cupsd.conf.
2509 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2510 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2511 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2512 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2513 filter mode 'l'.
2514 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2515 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2516 defaults for all print queues.
2517 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2518 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2519 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2520 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2521 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2522 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2523 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2524 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2525 printer was defined with the same name.
2526 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2527 remove options for a printer or instance.
2528 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2529 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2530 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2531 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2532 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2533 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2534 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2535 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2536 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2537 job-printer-uri attribute.
2538 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2539 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2540 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2541 remote printers.
2542 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2543 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2544 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2545 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2546 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2547 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2548 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2549 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2550 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2551 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2552 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2553 printer set using lpoptions.
2554 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2555 list the printer-specific options and their current
2556 settings.
2557 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2558 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2559 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2560 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2561 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2562 text printing.
2563 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2564 instances.
2565 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2566 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2567 limit.
2568 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2569 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2570 new client connections.
2571 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2572 required pagedevice parameters.
2573 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2574 under Linux.
2575 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2576 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2577 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2578 would stop processing.
2579 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2580 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2581 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2582 that was currently printing a job.
2583 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2584 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2585 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2586 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2587 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2588 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2589 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2590 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2591 option values separated by commas.
2592 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2593 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2594 and free bytes once a minute)
2595 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2596 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2597 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2598 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2599 printers.
2600 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2601 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2602 requests from that address to the server name.
2603 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2604 server.domain.com to localhost.
2605 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2606 the previous device and driver settings (except
2607 for serial ports.)
2608 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2609 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2610 after a job is completed when job file history is
2611 turned off.
2612 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2613 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2614 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2615 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2616 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2617 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2618 for "lpstat -v" output.
2619 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2620 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2621 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2622 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2623 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2624 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2625 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2626 by itself without quoting.
2627
2628
2629 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2630
2631 - Makefile/configure fixes
2632 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2633 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2634 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2635 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2636 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2637 number generator for certificates.
2638 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2639 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2640 the filter user, typically "lp".
2641 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2642 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2643 user.
2644 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2645 function.
2646 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2647 standard input.
2648 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2649 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2650 page header as needed.
2651 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2652 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2653 immediately when last-document was true.
2654 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2655 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2656 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2657 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2658 and many PS printers.
2659 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2660 filters.
2661 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2662 debugging problems.
2663 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2664 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2665 calling problem...)
2666 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2667 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2668 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2669 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2670 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2671 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2672 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2673 by default.
2674 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2675 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2676 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2677 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2678 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2679 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2680 CUPS software.
2681
2682
2683 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2684
2685 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2686 old PDF filter files.
2687 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2688 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2689 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2690 network devices.
2691 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2692 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2693 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2694 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2695 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2696 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2697 is defined otherwise.
2698 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2699 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2700 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2701 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2702 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2703 0-length PPD file was read.
2704 - The image filters were not handling images with
2705 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2706 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2707 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2708 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2709 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2710 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2711 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2712 documents if they don't have it.
2713 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2714 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2715 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2716 --prefix was specified.
2717 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2718 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2719 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2720 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2721 color mode until it can be fixed.
2722 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2723 correctly in all cases.
2724 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2725 time in banner files.
2726
2727
2728 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2729
2730 - Documentation updates.
2731 - Configuration script updates.
2732 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2733 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2734 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2735 ppd_file_t structure.
2736 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2737 before it was used.
2738 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2739 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2740 the localhost address.
2741 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2742 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2743 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2744 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2745 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2746 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2747 PDF support.
2748 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2749 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2750 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2751 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2752 pstoraster.
2753 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2754 the user.
2755 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2756 not running.
2757 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2758 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2759 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2760 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2761 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2762 setpagedevice operator.
2763 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2764 the default banner pages.
2765 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2766 "position" option.
2767 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2768 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2769 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2770 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2771 "printer@server") when possible.
2772 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2773 with no PageSize attributes.
2774 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2775 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2776 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2777 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2778 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2779 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2780 cupsd.
2781 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2782 locations.
2783 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2784 variables to specify installation directories as
2785 needed.
2786 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2787 when the scheduler is started.
2788 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2789 printer.
2790 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2791 printer are automatically deleted.
2792 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2793 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2794 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2795 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2796 request.
2797 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2798 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2799 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2800 is "no-hold".
2801 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2802 responses.
2803 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2804 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2805 printer.
2806 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2807 request fails.
2808 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2809 printer and class names.
2810 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2811 received in a POST request.
2812
2813
2814 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2815
2816 - Documentation updates.
2817 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2818 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2819 method.
2820 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2821 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2822 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2823 - Missing the job-restart template.
2824 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2825 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2826 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2827 not specified.
2828 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2829 from getting through.
2830 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2831 stderr.
2832 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2833 job name and display string, if supported.
2834 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2835 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2836 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2837 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2838 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2839 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2840 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2841 UTF-8...
2842 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2843 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2844 could cause cupsd to crash.
2845 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2846 crash.
2847 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2848 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2849 "HH:MM:SS".
2850 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2851 connection structure.
2852 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2853 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2854 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2855 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2856 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2857 is a potential security hole.
2858 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2859 new pstoraster.
2860 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2861 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2862 (/dev/usblp#)
2863 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2864 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2865 release.
2866
2867
2868 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2869
2870 - Documentation updates.
2871 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2872 now compile better under *BSD.)
2873 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2874 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2875 tray was selected.
2876 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2877 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2878 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2879 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2880 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2881 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2882 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2883 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2884 can handle.
2885 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2886 cause cupsd to crash.
2887 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2888 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2889 mime.types file.
2890 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2891 of file to be used as a banner.
2892 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2893 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2894 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2895 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2896 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2897 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2898 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2899 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2900 the IANA registrations.
2901 - New PostScript banner pages.
2902 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2903 filter.
2904 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2905 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2906 code.
2907 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2908 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2909 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2910 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2911 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2912 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2913 accurate width specification.
2914 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2915 files.
2916 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2917 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2918 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2919 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2920 that support it.
2921 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2922 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2923 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2924 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2925 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2926 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2927 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2928 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2929 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2930 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2931
2932
2933 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2934
2935 - Documentation updates.
2936 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2937 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2938 shell and Bash.
2939 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2940 code.
2941 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2942 manufacturer in the PPD.
2943 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2944 output attributes to be set.
2945 - Added banner page support.
2946 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2947 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2948 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2949 timezone offset.
2950 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2951 file is generated).
2952 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2953 printers when they became available.
2954 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2955 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2956 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2957 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2958 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2959 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2960 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2961 (override with -f)
2962 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2963 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2964 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2965 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2966 folks.
2967 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2968 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2969 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2970 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2971 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2972 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2973 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2974 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2975 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2976 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2977 languages (still only have templates for English)
2978 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2979 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2980 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2981 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2982 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2983 needed for some sites)
2984 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2985 templates.
2986 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2987 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2988 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2989 specific printer.
2990 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2991 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2992 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2993 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2994 authentication.
2995 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2996 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2997 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2998 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2999 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3000 filter.
3001 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3002 US-ASCII.
3003 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3004 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3005 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3006 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3007 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3008 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3009 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3010 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3011 basis without environment variables.
3012 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3013
3014
3015 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3016
3017 - Documentation updates.
3018 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3019 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3020 printer.
3021 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3022 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3023 distribution.
3024 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3025 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3026 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3027 to match the IPP spec.
3028 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3029 (previously they would be ignored)
3030 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3031 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3032 machines.
3033 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3034 and printer.
3035 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3036 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3037 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3038 BrowseRelay directives.
3039 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3040 still receives information on remote printers.
3041 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
