4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc2
5
6 - Added a ReloadTimeout directive to control how long
7 the scheduler waits for jobs to complete before
8 restarting the scheduler (STR #861)
9 - Added a note to the default cupsd.conf file which
10 mentions that you must allow connections from
11 localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
12 work (STR #850)
13 - The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
14 communicating with a remote server; this caused
15 problems with some custom configurations (STR #852)
16 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon wasn't using the right
17 default banner option (STR #851)
18 - Updated the new httpDecode64_2() and httpEncode64_2()
19 functions to handle arbitrary binary data, not just
20 text (STR #860)
21 - String options with quotes in their values were not
22 quoted properly by the scheduler (STR #839)
23 - Configure script changes for GNU/Hurd (STR #838)

27 - Fixed a typo in the cupsd man page (STR #833)
28 - The USB backend now defaults to using the newer
29 /dev/usb/lpN filenames; this helps on systems which
30 use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (STR #818)
31 - The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
32 constant when the configure script detected the
33 usersec.h header file. This caused authentication
34 errors on AIX (STR #832)
35 - The lp and lpr commands now report the temporary
36 filename and error if they are unable to create a
37 temporary file (STR #812)
38 - Added ServerTokens directive to control the Server
39 header in HTTP responses (STR #792)
40 - Added new httpDecode64_2(), httpEncode64_2(), and
41 httpSeparate2() functions which offer buffer size
42 arguments (STR #797)
43 - The cupsGetFile() and cupsPutFile() code did not
44 support CDSA or GNUTLS (STR #794)
45 - The httpSeparate() function did not decode all
46 character escapes (STR #795)
47 - The cupstestppd program now checks for invalid Duplex
48 option choices and fails PPD files that use
49 non-standard values (STR #791)
50 - Updated the printer name error message to indicate
51 that spaces are not allowed (STR #675)
52 - The scheduler didn't handle HTTP GET form data
53 properly (STR #744)

60 - Added support for quoted system group names (STR #784)
61 - Added "version" option to IPP backend to workaround
62 serious bug in Linksys's IPP implementation (STR #767)
63 - Added Spanish translation of web interface (STR #772,
64 STR #802)
65 - The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
66 when it is available (STR #752)
67 - The IPP backend did not report the printer state if
68 the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
69 - The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
70 messages (STR #745)
71 - Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
72 a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
73 prompts. This resolves a previous authentication

76 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
77 machines (STR #754)
78 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
79 setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
80 systems which used non-standard encryption settings
81 (STR #773)
82 - The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
83 11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (STR #769)
84 - "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
85 error in the man page makefiles (STR #775)
86 - Changed some calls to snprintf() in the scheduler to
87 SetStringf() (STR #740)

122 - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
123 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
124 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
125 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
126 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
127 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
128 #700)
129 - cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
130 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic

133 - The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL
134 language (STR #713)

152 files (STR #687)
153 - The pdftops filter did not show all annotation objects
154 in a PDF file (STR #674)

157 filled-in form (STR #663)
158 - Integrated the MacOS X/Darwin USB backend into the
159 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
160 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
161 empty" (STR #660)
162 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
163 comparison when checking for group membership, which
164 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
165 (STR #647)
166 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated
167 with certain network errors, making troubleshooting

181 form "usb://make/model" if any USB port shows up as
182 "busy" (STR #617)
183 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check
184 IP address values (STR #608)

214 - Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
215 #484)
216 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,

245 printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned
246 off (STR #535)
247 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
248 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
249 (STR #565)
250 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
251 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
252 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname

254 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
255 long filenames (STR #560)
256 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
257 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
258 information from being updated (STR #562)
259 - The scheduler did not send common or history data to
260 the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request

297
298 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
299
300 - The pstops filter didn't properly handle collated,
301 duplexed copies of documents with an odd number of
302 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
303 copies (STR #389)
304 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
305 #430)
306 - Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags

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

312 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
313 test results (STR #380)
314 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
315 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
316 - The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary

321 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
322 character, which is not required by the Base64
323 encoding specification (STR #407)

325 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
326 IRIX (STR #422)
327 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
328 to be consistent with the way other signals are
329 handled (STR #423)

342
343 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
344
345 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
346 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
347 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
348 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
349 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
350 the error_log file (STR #337)
351 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
352 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
353 defined PageSize (STR #365)

366 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
367 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
368 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
369 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
370 #354)

378 driver for Windows (STR #357)
379
380
381 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
382
383 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket

390
391
392 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
393
394 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
395 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
396 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
397 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
398 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
399 names, which caused some problems with the generated
400 URLs (STR #320)
401 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
402 option (STR #331)
403
404
405 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
406
407 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
408 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
409 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
410 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
411 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
412 arguments (STR #313)
413 - The web admin interface did not display an error
414 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
415 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
416 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
417 #292)
418
419
420 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
421
422 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
423 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
424 printers that returned status info but were not ready
425 for more print data (STR #287)
426 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
427 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
428 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
429 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
430 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
431 #289)
432 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
433 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
434 10.3 (STR #270)
435 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
436 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
437 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
438 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
439 very difficult (STR #277)
440 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
441 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
442 the filter group (STR #283)

444 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
445 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
446 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
447 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
448 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
449 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
450 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
451 language localization for a request; this caused extra
452 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
453 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
454 one language specified (STR #267)
455
456
457 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
458

460 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
461 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
462 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
463 is 64 bits (STR #262)
464 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
465 Hat (STR #253)
466 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
467 the standard constants when reporting printer status
468 bits on Linux (STR #254)
469 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
470 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
471 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
472 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
473 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
474 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
475 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
476 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
477 URI (STR #247)
478 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
479 (STR #249)
480 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
481 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
482 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
483 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
484 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
485 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
486 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
487 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
488 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
489 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
490 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
491 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
492 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
493 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
494 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
495 (STR #224)
496 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
497 9 (STR #217)
498 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
499 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
500 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
501 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
502 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
503 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
504 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
505 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
506 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
507 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
508 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
509 level (STR #212)
510 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
511 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
512 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
513 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
514 (STR #209)
515 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
516 page device attributes (STR #208)
517 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
518 the user already had specified the proper orientation
519 (STR #207)
520 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
521 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
522 #193)
523 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
524 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
525 files (STR #192)
526 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
527 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
528 programs rather than the port that the browser
529 connected to (STR #103)
530 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
531 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
532 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
533 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
534 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
535 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
536 files define the job-priority and
537 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
538 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
539 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
540 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
541 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
542 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
543 caused problems with some implementations of the
544 standard C library. (STR #159)
545 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
546 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
547 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
548 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
549 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
550 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
551 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
552 signal handlers (STR #190)
553 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
554 strings if the description string is not available
555 (STR #174)
556 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
557 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
558 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
559 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
560 group (STR #158)
561 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
562 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
563 #147)
564 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
565 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
566 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
567 - Printers with special characters in their names were
568 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
569 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
570 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
571 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
572 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
573 not blank (STR #152)
574 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
575 files did not get installed (STR #148)
576 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
577 without shared libraries (STR #149)
578 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
579 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
580 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
581 capability bit (STR #144)
582 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
583 amount of memory (STR #145)
584 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
585 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
586 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
587 #139)
588 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
589 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
590 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
591 block waiting for data (STR #132)
592 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
593 command after the PJL language escape to work around
594 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
595 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
596 value properly (STR #127)
597 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
598 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
599
600
601 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
602
603 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
604 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
605 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
606 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
607 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
608 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
609 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
610 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
611 options (STR #123)
612 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
613 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
614 #117)
615 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
616 - The configure script didn't specify the static
617 libraries properly when configuring with the
618 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
619 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
620 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
621 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
622 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
623 message (STR #94)
624 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
625
626
627 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
628
629 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
630 classes would get double banner pages for each
631 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
632 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
633 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
634 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
635 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
636 next restart (STR #82)
637 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
638 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
639 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
640 #70)
641 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
642 language preference (STR #78)
643 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
644 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
645 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
646 in banner pages (STR #77)
647 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
648 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
649 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
650 annoying error message (STR #45)
651
652
653 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
654
655 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
656 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
657 #59)
658 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
659 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
660 - The German web interface templates did not use the
661 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
662 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
663 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
664 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
665 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
666 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
667
668
669 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
670
671 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
672 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
673 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
674 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
675 user - STR #48)
676 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
677 (STR #46)
678 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
679 Gilles QUERRET)
680 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
681 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
682 was handled (STR #47)
683 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
684 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
685 interface (STR #40)
686 - The scheduler did not put the
687 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
688 attributes group.
689 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
690 defined by the IPP implementation document.
691 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
692 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
693 and #39)
694 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
695 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
696 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
697 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
698 requirements (STR #33)
699 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
700 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
701 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
702 symlinks (STR #33)
703 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
704 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
705 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
706 hardware (STR #32)
707 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
708 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
709 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
710 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
711 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
712 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
713 Jacke)
714 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
715 Bjoern Jacke)
716
717
718 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
719
720 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
721 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
722 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
723 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
724 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
725 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
726 compilers cannot be found.
727 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
728 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
729 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
730 (STR #28).
731 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
732 not work.
733 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
734 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
735 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
736 was not added to the collection value.
737 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
738 was not added to the collection value.
739 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
740 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
741 directives.
742 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
743 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
744 new configuration directives.
745 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
746 on the page (STR #18)
747 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
748 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
749 #13)
750 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
751 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
752 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
753 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
754 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
755 message files such as those used for the job history
756 in /var/spool/cups.
757
758
759 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
760
761 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
762 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
763 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
764 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
765 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
766 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
767 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
768 permissions of /dev/null...)
769 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
770 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
771 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
772 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
773 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
774 no "lp" queue) is sent.
775 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
776 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
777 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
778 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
779 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
780 retries and the time between retries.
781 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
782 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
783 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
784 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
785 your locale.
786 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
787 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
788 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
789 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
790 compressed using gzip.
791 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
792 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
793 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
794 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
795 a large number of clients connected to the system.
796 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
797 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
798 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
799 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
800 respectively) and has some additional changes to
801 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
802 when only one copy was requested.
803 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
804 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
805 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
806 - Added support for STATE: messages
807 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
808 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
809 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
810 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
811 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
812 root.
813 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
814 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
815 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
816 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
817 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
818 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
819 information.
820 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
821 field.
822 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
823 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
824 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
825 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
826 attribute to control whether job history data is
827 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
828 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
829 implementation.
830 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
831 using SLP browsing.
832 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
833 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
834 filter could be executed.
835 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
836 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
837 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
838 Kubla]
839 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
840 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
841 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
842 sent. It now only references attributes that change
843 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
844 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
845 2k.
846 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
847 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
848 signals on Solaris 8.
849 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
850 by group name as well as user name.
851 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
852 printer was available.
853 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
854 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
855 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
856 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
857 printable area of the page.
858 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
859 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
860 conformant PS files.
861 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
862 the image on the page when printing in landscape
863 orientation.
864 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
865 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
866 and ManualFeed commands.
867 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
868 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
869 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
870 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
871 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
872 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
873 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
874 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
875 list of available devices, when it should have been
876 using the default signal handler.
877 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
878 option with a NULL last string.
879 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
880 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
881 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
882 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
883 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
884 up...
885 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
886 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
887 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
888 non-blocking HTTP connections.
889 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
890 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
891 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
892 value; it is a keyword value.
893 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
894 has gone away and reports an error.
895 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
896 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
897 that support it.
898 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
899 variable under MacOS X.
900 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
901 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
902 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
903 the form "file:///path" properly.
904 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
905 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
906 use when printing binary PostScript data.
907 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
908 directive, so only the first group would be used.
909 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
910 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
911 for systems with large numbers of printers.
912 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
913 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
914 sequence.
915 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
916 the PPD file.
917 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
918 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
919 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
920 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
921 baseline donated by Apple.
922 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
923 Apple.
924 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
925 printer classes on the network.
926 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
927 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
928 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
929 option.
930 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
931 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
932 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
933 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
934 "{?time-at-creation}".
935 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
936 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
937 via IPP.
938 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
939 even if FileDevices is set to No.
940 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
941 when it should have used hstrerror().
942 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
943 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
944 means that printers that don't report their serial
945 numbers in the device ID string will not be
946 individually selectable.
947 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
948 when a page contained an embedded document.
949 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
950 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
951 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
952 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
953 the same.
954 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
955 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
956 of pages with duplexing enabled.
957 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
958 application to add less than 1 value.
959 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
960 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
961 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
962 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
963 too large for the buffer.
964 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
965 by Jeff Licquia.
966 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
967 an attribute definition.
968 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
969 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
970 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
971 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
972 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
973 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
974 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
975 situations. The warning message is now written no more
976 than once per minute.
977 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
978 PS RIPs.
979 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
980 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
981 quotas would not work.
982 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
983 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
984 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
985 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
986 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
987 program or man page files.
988
989
990 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
991
992 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
993 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
994 write a job control file.
995 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
996 directive to control whether new printers can be added
997 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
998 default is to not allow printers with these device
999 URIs.
1000 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
1001 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
1002 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
1003 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
1004 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
1005 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
1006 non-conforming PPD file.
1007 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
1008 TrueType fonts.
1009 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
1010 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
1011 attacks.
1012 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
1013 interface.
1014 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
1015 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
1016 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
1017 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
1018 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
1019 the scheduler did not close the connections
1020 immediately on all platforms.
1021 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
1022 checks for all image formats.
1023 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
1024 back to its original at the end of a job; this
1025 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
1026 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
1027 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
1028 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
1029 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
1030 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
1031 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
1032 PPD files.
1033 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
1034 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
1035 Win9x PostScript drivers.
1036 - The web interface did not always report the correct
1037 error message.
1038 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
1039 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
1040 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
1041 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
1042 process from returning.
1043
1044
1045 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
1046
1047 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
1048 backend had to retry a print job.
1049 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
1050 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
1051 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
1052 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
1053 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
1054 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
1055 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
1056 ticket data.
1057 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
1058 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
1059 after it was shutdown.
1060 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
1061 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
1062 group membership still requires the account name to be
1063 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
1064 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
1065 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
1066 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
1067 on the options that are sent in a job.
1068 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
1069 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
1070 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
1071 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
1072 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
1073 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
1074 longer treated as boolean options.
1075 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
1076 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
1077 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1078 caused by servers sending the status line and
1079 newline(s) in separate packets.
1080 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1081 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1082 empty.
1083 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1084 CUPS supports.
1085 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1086 Windows.
1087 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1088 printing of Sun Raster images.
1089 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1090 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1091 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
1092 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1093 (interrupted system call) errors.
1094 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1095 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1096 caused by the child signal handler.
1097 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1098 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1099 error.
1100 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1101 URI syntax.
1102 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1103 settings while loading a PPD file.
1104 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1105 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1106 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
1107 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1108 properly localized time string.
1109 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1110 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1111 configuring a printer or class.
1112 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1113 filters will not stop a print queue.
1114 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1115 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1116 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1117 scheduler.
1118 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1119 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1120 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1121 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1122 queues.
1123 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1124 filename.
1125 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1126 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1127 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1128 automatic form feed.
1129 - French translation updates.
1130 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1131 embedding it in PostScript output.
1132 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1133 MacOS X.
1134 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1135 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1136 has been removed.
1137
1138
1139 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1140
1141 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1142 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1143 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1144 printer.
1145 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1146 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
1147 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1148 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1149 interface might not work.
1150 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1151 you can display completed jobs as well as
1152 not-completed (pending) jobs.
1153 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1154 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1155 not be printed.
1156 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1157 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1158 occurs.
1159 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1160 stopped remote printer.
1161 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1162 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1163 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1164 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1165 the page number.
1166 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1167 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
1168 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
1169 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1170 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1171 banner pages.
1172 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1173 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1174 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1175 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
1176 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1177 reliably.
1178 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1179 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1180 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1181 using more than one USB printer.
1182 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1183 connection when sending an error that requires the
1184 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1185 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1186 encryption enabled.
1187 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1188 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1189 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1190 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
1191 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1192 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1193 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1194 implement the LPD protocol properly...
1195 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1196 PostScript or image filters.
1197 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1198 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
1199 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1200 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
1201 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1202 when modifying an active printer.
1203 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1204 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1205 defines a circular filter rule.
1206 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1207 requirements comment in some cases.
1208 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1209 files.
1210 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1211 better handle printing EPS files.
1212 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1213 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1214 compatibility).
1215 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
1216 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1217 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1218 number of copies that a user can request.
1219 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1220 others and when it forked processes.
1221 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1222 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1223 shutdown.
1224 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1225 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1226 init script functions, if available.
1227 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1228 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1229 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1230 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
1231 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1232 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1233 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
1234 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1235 printer" status of the printer.
1236 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1237 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1238 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1239 a bad or missing temporary directory.
1240 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1241 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1242 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
1243 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1244 connect to the remote server name in a
1245 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1246 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1247 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1248 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
1249 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1250 the program would try to print the option letter that
1251 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1252 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
1253 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1254 attributes from printer options in
1255 cupsEncodeOptions().
1256 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1257 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
1258 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
1259 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1260 devices under *BSD.
1261 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1262 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1263 characters.
1264 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1265 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1266 the language mode.
1267 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1268 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1269 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1270 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1271 all of the CUPS API functions.
1272 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
1273 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1274 files when configuring a printer.
1275 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1276 printer state before stopping the current job.
1277 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1278 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1279 driver.
1280 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1281 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1282 that printer is available.
1283 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1284 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1285 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1286 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1287 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1288 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
1289 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1290 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1291 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1292 username:password field of a URI.
1293 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1294 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1295 to accept connections.
1296 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1297 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1298 and current directory.
1299 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1300 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1301 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1302 for existing jobs.
1303 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1304 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1305 actually provided.
1306 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
1307 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1308 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
1309 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1310 that do not have a PPD file to export.
1311 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1312 case-insensitive.
1313 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1314 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
1315 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1316 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1317 Solaris.
1318 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1319 printing banner pages.
1320 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1321 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1322 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1323 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1324 a bug in the filter validation code.
1325 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1326 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1327 file.
1328 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1329 description from member printers.
1330 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1331 hostnames that started with a number.
1332 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1333 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1334 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1335 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1336 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1337 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1338 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1339 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1340 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1341 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1342 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1343 up...
1344 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1345 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1346 authentication didn't work for administration
1347 operations.
1348 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1349 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1350 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1351 interface to "localhost".
1352 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1353 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1354 only return textual data.
1355
1356
1357 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1358
1359 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1360 string function header, which is required on systems
1361 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1362 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1363 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1364 have to.
1365
1366
1367 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1368
1369 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1370 license exception.
1371 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1372 name if no value has been set.
1373 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1374 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1375 correct tray.
1376 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1377 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1378 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1379 options.
1380 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1381 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1382 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1383 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1384 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1385 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1386 queues) on the server.
1387 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1388 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1389 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1390 - New SCSI printer backend.
1391 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1392 set definitions.
1393 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1394 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1395 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1396 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1397 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1398 - Added French translation of man pages.
1399 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1400 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1401 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1402 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1403 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1404 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1405 comes from...
1406 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1407 output, as well as new page-border and
1408 number-up-layout options.
1409 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1410 using the default printer.
1411 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1412 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1413 to allow for longer printer names.
1414 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1415 history data.
1416 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1417 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1418 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1419 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1420 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1421 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1422 caused problems on some installations that would
1423 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1424 level 3.
1425 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1426 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1427 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1428 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1429 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1430 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1431 destination printer or class.
1432 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1433 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1434 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1435 (cupsd).
1436 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1437 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1438 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1439 Keep-Alive like they should.
1440 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1441 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1442 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1443 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1444 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1445 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1446 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1447 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1448 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1449 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1450 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1451 of glyphs.
1452 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1453 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1454 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1455 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1456 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1457 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1458 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1459 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1460 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1461 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1462 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1463 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1464 the proper IPP language code.
1465 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1466 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1467 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1468 classes.
1469 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1470 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1471 did not reflect the correct port number.
1472 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1473 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1474 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1475 control and browsing based on the current interface
1476 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1477 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1478 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1479 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1480 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1481 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1482 group.
1483 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1484 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1485 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1486 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1487 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1488 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1489 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1490 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1491 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1492 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1493 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1494 the correct LANG string.
1495 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1496 and SAMBA server names.
1497 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1498 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1499 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1500 generated dependencies.
1501 - Build fixes for OS X.
1502 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1503 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1504 the loader.
1505 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1506 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1507 the prefix "JCL".
1508 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1509 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1510 while the next page is being processed.
1511 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1512 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1513 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1514 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1515 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1516 printers and classes all at once.
1517 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1518 the Linux PPC port.
1519 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1520 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1521 value.
1522 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1523 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1524 other options as strings.
1525 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1526 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1527 that don't end with a newline.
1528 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1529 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1530 option.
1531 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1532 integers and ranges.
1533 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1534 language support for CUPS.
1535
1536
1537 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1538
1539 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1540 attribute name length or string with language value
1541 was not larger than the read buffer.
1542 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1543 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1544 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1545 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1546 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1547 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1548 - MacOS X fixes.
1549 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1550 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1551 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1552 2.2.x.
1553 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1554 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1555 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1556 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1557 require it.
1558
1559
1560 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1561
1562 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1563 regular printer classes.
1564 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1565 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1566 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1567 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1568 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1569 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1570 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1571 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1572 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1573 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1574 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1575 *.convs files.
1576 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1577 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1578 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1579 goes away.
1580 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1581 whitespace after quoted values.
1582 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1583 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1584 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1585 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1586 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1587 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1588 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1589 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1590 match the page orientation.
1591 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1592 connections to improve performance/response time.
1593 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1594 from Andrea Suatoni.
1595 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1596 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1597 tools support.
1598 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1599 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1600 existed.
1601 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1602 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1603 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1604 page-set option.
1605 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1606 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1607 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1608 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1609 etc.)
1610 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1611 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1612 listing for a printer.
1613 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1614 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1615 make third-party tools happy.
1616 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1617 values.
1618 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1619 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1620 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1621 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1622 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1623 files.
1624 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1625 2 element array.
1626 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1627 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1628 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1629 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1630 the password and nonce strings.
1631 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1632 "%%BeginData:".
1633 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1634 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1635 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1636 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1637 classification level, if set. This way the original
1638 banner settings are preserved when classification
1639 levels are changed or turned off.
1640 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1641 did it restore the original settings.
1642 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1643 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1644 system default group was not used.
1645 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1646 send multiple control files.
1647 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1648 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1649 for the "https" scheme.
1650 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1651 from the web interface for accounts other than
1652 "root".
1653 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1654 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1655 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1656 address properly.
1657 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1658 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1659 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1660 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1661 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1662 information under Linux.
1663 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1664 option (if present) in PPD files.
1665 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1666 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1667 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1668 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1669 the lppasswd command.
1670 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1671 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1672 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1673 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1674 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1675 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1676 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1677 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1678 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1679 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1680 restarting cupsd.
1681 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1682 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1683 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1684 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1685 for commands on the standard input.
1686 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1687 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1688 pointer platforms...
1689
1690
1691 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1692
1693 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1694 files.
1695 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1696 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1697 destination type for the new destination.
1698 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1699 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1700 printer ACLs.
1701 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1702 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1703 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1704 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1705 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1706
1707
1708 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1709
1710 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1711 files.
1712 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1713 files.
1714 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1715 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1716 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1717 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1718 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1719 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1720 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1721 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1722 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1723 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1724 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1725 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1726 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1727 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1728 options exceeded 100...]
1729 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1730 was set to "No".
1731 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1732 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1733 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1734 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1735 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1736 faster.
1737 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1738 support properly support the "-h" or default
1739 server name.
1740 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1741 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1742 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1743 support printer instances.
1744 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1745 underline formatting.
1746 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1747 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1748 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1749 (-1).
1750 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1751 from printing to printers in that class.
1752 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1753 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1754 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1755 slower systems since more information had to be
1756 transferred from server to client.
1757 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1758 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1759 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1760 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1761 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1762 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1763 processing.
1764 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1765 to stderr instead of stdout...
1766 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1767 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1768 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1769 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1770 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1771 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1772 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1773 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1774 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1775 the Spanish banner files.
1776 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1777 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1778 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1779 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1780 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1781 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1782 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1783 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1784 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1785 information when printing via LPD.
1786 - Added many warning and informational messages
1787 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1788 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1789 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1790 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1791 provided.
1792 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1793 cupsd.conf.
1794 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1795 32k.
1796 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1797 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1798 possible.
1799 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1800 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1801 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1802 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1803 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1804 long values.
1805 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1806 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1807 to CGIs.
1808 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1809 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1810 time.
1811 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1812 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1813 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1814 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1815 result in a blank page being output...
1816 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1817 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1818 page comments when printing files directly...)
1819 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1820 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1821 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1822 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1823 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1824 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1825 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1826 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1827 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1828 original destination.
1829 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1830 requested-attributes attribute in the
1831 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1832 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1833 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1834 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1835 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1836 prints.
1837
1838
1839 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1840
1841 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1842 makefiles to install files properly.
1843
1844
1845 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1846
1847 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1848 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1849 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1850 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1851 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1852 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1853 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1854 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1855 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1856 server.
1857 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1858 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1859 with some types of flow control.
1860 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1861 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1862 server.
1863 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1864 lines in the configuration files.
1865 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1866 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1867 from the server.
1868 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1869 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1870 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1871 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1872 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1873 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1874 script. Previously the job's document format was
1875 used, which was incorrect.
1876 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1877 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1878 "raw" model from the command-line.
1879 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1880 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1881 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1882 printers.
1883 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1884 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1885 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1886 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1887 which caused some confusion... :)
1888 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1889 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1890
1891
1892 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1893
1894 - The configure script did not substitute the
1895 correct user and group names.
1896 - The configure script did not use the full path
1897 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1898 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1899 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1900 duplexing.
1901 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1902 distribution.
1903 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1904 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1905 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1906 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1907 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1908 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1909 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1910 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1911 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1912 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1913 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1914 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1915
1916
1917 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1918
1919 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1920 approach for the various tests.
1921 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1922 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1923 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1924 options to specify the default user and group for
1925 CUPS.
1926 - Added AIX shared library support.
1927 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1928 parallel ports.
1929 - Now use install program or script to install
1930 directories, files, and symlinks.
1931 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1932 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1933 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1934 print.
1935 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1936 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1937 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1938 64-bit boundary.
1939 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1940 skip the Digest keyword.
1941 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1942 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1943 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1944 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1945 authentication from passwd.md5.
1946 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1947 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1948 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1949 PPD files should start much faster now.
1950 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1951 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1952 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1953 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1954 times.
1955 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1956 code if an error occurred.
1957 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1958 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1959 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1960 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1961 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1962 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1963 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1964 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1965 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1966 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1967 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1968 copies would come out instead of N.
1969 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1970 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1971 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1972 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1973 output an even number of pages.
1974 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1975 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1976 from being cancelled early.
1977 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1978 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1979 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1980 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1981 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1982 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1983 "ESC i" graphics command.
1984 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1985 printers to a local class.
1986 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1987 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1988 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1989 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1990 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1991 printers that were part of a class.
1992 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1993 printer more than once.
1994 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1995 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1996 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1997 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1998 account.
1999 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
2000 against a location of "/printers/name".
2001 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
2002 upgrades properly.
2003 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
2004 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
2005 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
2006 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
2007 when using Digest authentication.
2008 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
2009 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
2010 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
2011 file.
2012 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
2013 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
2014 server.
2015 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
2016 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
2017 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
2018 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
2019 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
2020 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
2021 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
2022 not the empty string.
2023 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
2024 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
2025 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
2026 unsupported attributes which should normally be
2027 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
2028 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
2029 supported file types into the
2030 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
2031 clients to not send the local file type (such as
2032 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
2033 corresponding bad output in some cases.
2034 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
2035 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
2036 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
2037 or behave irratically.
2038 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
2039 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
2040 specified.
2041 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
2042 completed or reported as "pending-held".
2043 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
2044 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
2045 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
2046 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
2047 retrieve and update the server configuration files
2048 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
2049 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
2050 location or description of the printer.
2051 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
2052 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
2053 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
2054 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
2055 multiple groups.
2056 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
2057 Apache.
2058 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
2059 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
2060 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
2061 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
2062 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
2063 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
2064 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
2065 the page-ranges option from working properly.
2066 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
2067 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
2068 Ghostscript code.
2069 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
2070 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
2071 size instead of percent of page size.)
2072 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
2073 instead of root.
2074 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
2075 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
2076 size options.
2077 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2078 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2079 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2080 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2081 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2082 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2083 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2084 character.
2085
2086
2087 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2088
2089 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2090 package for pstoraster.
2091 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2092 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2093 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2094 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2095 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2096 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2097 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2098 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2099 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2100 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2101 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2102 history disabled.
2103 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2104 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2105 connections initially.
2106 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2107 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2108 throughout.
2109 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2110 Richard Begg.)
2111 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2112 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2113 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2114 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2115 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2116 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2117 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2118 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2119 #54489...
2120 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2121 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2122 (only affects page-label and Classification
2123 options.)
2124 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2125 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2126
2127
2128 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2129
2130 - Configuration script changes, including new
2131 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2132 documentation and web content according to your
2133 favorite version of the FHS.
2134 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2135 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2136 test CUPS prior to installation.
2137 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2138 insensitive to match Apache.
2139 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2140 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
2141 directives.
2142 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2143 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2144 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2145 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2146 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2147 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2148 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2149 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2150 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2151 formats are supported at present.)
2152 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2153 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2154 all browsing off.
2155 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2156 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2157 document.
2158 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2159 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2160 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2161 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2162 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2163 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2164 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2165 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2166 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2167 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2168 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2169 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2170 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2171 server.
2172 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2173 PJL commands from PPD files.
2174 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2175 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2176 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2177 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2178 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2179 the next/current job in the queue.
2180 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2181 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2182 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2183 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2184 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2185 for Sun Raster images.
2186 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2187 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2188 function.
2189 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2190 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2191 command when printing to USB devices.
2192 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2193 the cupsd.conf file.
2194 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2195 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2196 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2197 /dev/urandom.
2198 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2199 httpGetSubField().
2200 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2201 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2202 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2203 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2204 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2205 CGI was currently running.
2206 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2207 option=true or option=false.
2208 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2209 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2210 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2211 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2212 could cause it to crash.
2213 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2214 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2215 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2216 attribute when altering a job.
2217 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2218 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2219 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2220 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2221 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2222 addresses.
2223 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2224 the current classification on each page.
2225 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2226 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2227 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2228 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2229 encryption.
2230 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2231 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2232 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2233 support instances.
2234 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2235 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2236 and should never be used in a production environment.
2237 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2238 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2239 interface.
2240 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2241 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2242 prevent caching of the results.
2243 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2244 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2245 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2246 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2247 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2248 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2249 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2250 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2251 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2252 submitted by a user.
2253 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2254 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2255 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2256 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2257 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2258 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2259 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2260 embedded spaces.
2261 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2262 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2263 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2264 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2265 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2266 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2267 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2268 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2269 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2270 by the GIMP.
2271 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2272 bypassed the authentication checks.
2273 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2274 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2275 a race condition between the client and server for the
2276 upgrade to TLS.
2277 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2278 the pstops filter.
2279 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2280 the custom page size in the raster header.
2281 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2282 size to the size of the printed image.
2283 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2284 which are required by some printers.
2285 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2286 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2287 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2288 DSC).
2289 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2290 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2291 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2292 driver.
2293 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2294 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2295 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2296 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2297 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2298 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2299 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2300 address this problem.
2301 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2302 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2303 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2304 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2305 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2306 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2307 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2308 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2309 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2310 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2311 to manage print jobs.
2312 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2313 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2314 of 0 length.
2315 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2316 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2317 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2318
2319
2320 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2321
2322 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2323 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2324 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2325 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2326 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2327 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2328 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2329 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2330 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2331 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2332 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2333 /dev/ulptN.
2334 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2335 classes it was a member of.
2336 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2337 implicit status of a class.
2338 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2339 from implicit classes.
2340 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2341 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2342 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2343 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2344 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2345 of the scheduler.
2346 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2347 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2348 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2349 the /#copies variable anymore.
2350 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2351 option.
2352 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2353 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2354 for a bad-request error)
2355 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2356 unimplemented, not invalid.
2357 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2358 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2359 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2360 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2361 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2362 (pstoraster).
2363 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2364 which are not used.
2365 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2366 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2367 cgi_initialize_string().
2368 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2369 ippSetCGIVars()
2370 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2371 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2372 leaks.
2373 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2374 fails.
2375 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2376 setuid() calls.
2377 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2378 calls.
2379 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2380 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2381 bad input.
2382 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2383 missing hex digits.
2384
2385
2386 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2387
2388 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2389 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2390 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2391 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2392 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2393 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2394 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2395 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2396 corruption on many printers)
2397 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2398 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2399 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2400 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2401 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2402 requests.
2403 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2404 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2405 was lost.
2406 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2407 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2408 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2409 to be used for a socket.
2410 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2411 a set were numeric or string types.
2412 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2413 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2414 reading *.conf files.
2415 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2416 same logic as GET requests.
2417 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2418 /index.html to requested directory name.
2419 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2420 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2421 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2422 instead of mode 0600.
2423 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2424 instead of 0600.
2425 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2426 system name in log filenames.
2427 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2428 and hex strings.
2429
2430
2431 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2432
2433 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2434 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2435 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2436
2437
2438 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2439
2440 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2441 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2442 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2443 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2444 filter programs properly.
2445 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2446 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2447 versions of GCC.
2448 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2449 cancelled in StartJob().
2450 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2451 written with restricted permissions.
2452 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2453 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2454 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2455 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2456 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2457 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2458 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2459 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2460 syslog file.
2461 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2462 and only specifies the document format if it is
2463 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2464 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2465 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2466 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2467 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2468 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2469 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2470 cancelled.
2471 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2472 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2473 sporatic web interface problems.
2474 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2475 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2476 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2477 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2478 whitespace.
2479 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2480 instead of an integer.
2481 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2482 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2483 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2484 and user-level access control.
2485 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2486 encryption.
2487 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2488 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2489 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2490 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2491 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2492 to the man page.
2493 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2494 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2495 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2496 queued for a printer.
2497 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2498 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2499 reporting.
2500
2501
2502 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2503
2504 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2505 code.
2506 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2507 check in backend/serial.c.
2508 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2509 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2510 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2511 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2512 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2513 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2514 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2515 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2516 anyways)

2519 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2520
2521 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2522 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2523 for run level 5.
2524 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2525 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2526 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2527 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2528 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2529 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2530 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.

2532
2533 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2534
2535 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2536 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2537 access from the local system.
2538 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2539 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2540 - Documentation updates.
2541 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2542 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2543 RedHat or Mandrake.
2544 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2545 warnings.
2546 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2547 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2548 hex)
2549 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2550 crash the server.
2551 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2552 correct value length for name-with-language and
2553 text-with-language attributes.
2554 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2555 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2556 efficient IPP server performance.
2557 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2558 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2559 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2560 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2561 attack.
2562 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2563 data required when getting the list of printer or
2564 class information. This should improve performance
2565 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2566 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2567 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2568 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2569 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2570 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2571 override the lpoptions default printer.
2572 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2573 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2574 attributes.
2575 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2576 did not check for the correct value for collated
2577 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2578 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2579 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2580 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2581 scale mode 2.
2582 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2583 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2584 that started with a number.
2585 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2586 multiple times in name-with-language and
2587 text-with-language attributes.
2588 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2589 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2590 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2591 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2592 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2593 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2594 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2595 close the spool directory.
2596 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2597 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2598 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2599 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2600 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2601 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2602 larger than the source string; this protects
2603 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2604 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2605 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2606 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2607 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2608 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2609 remote printers.
2610 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2611 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2612 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2613 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2614 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2615 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2616 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2617 3-argument contains() function.
2618 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2619 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2620 database containing 0 printers.
2621 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2622 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2623 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2624 printer was always busy.
2625 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2626 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2627 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2628 jobs.
2629 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2630 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2631 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2632 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2633 57600 and 115200 baud.
2634 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2635 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2636 option in the device URI.
2637 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2638 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2639 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2640 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2641 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2642 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2643 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2644 job attributes to be changed.
2645 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2646 web interface.
2647 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2648 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2649 since they do not map)
2650 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2651 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2652 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2653 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2654 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2655 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2656 child signals while loading devices.
2657 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2658 and classes.
2659 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2660 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2661 driver dithering code.
2662 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2663 after the first active printer.
2664 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2665 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2666 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2667 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2668 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2669 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2670 accepted null values.
2671 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2672 of the backends.
2673 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2674 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2675 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2676 is set in the plot file.
2677 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2678 user name, causing it to always fail.
2679 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2680 under Windows.
2681 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2682 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2683 didn't handle control file job information in any
2684 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2685 a file.
2686 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2687 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2688 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2689 printing on some systems.
2690 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2691 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2692 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2693 it.
2694
2695
2696 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2697
2698 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2699 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2700 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2701 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2702 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2703 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2704 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2705 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2706 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2707 order, which prevented remote printing.
2708 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2709 IPP requests and language information when closing
2710 a client connection.
2711 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2712 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2713 compatibles)
2714 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2715 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2716 on many OS's.
2717 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2718 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2719 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2720 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2721 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2722 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2723 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2724 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2725 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2726 PPD files.
2727 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2728 when the destination printer supported it. This
2729 caused problems when printing text files to other
2730 CUPS servers.
2731 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2732 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2733 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2734 the dates.)
2735 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2736 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2737 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2738 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2739 be clipped.
2740
2741
2742 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2743
2744 - Makefile fixes.
2745 - RPM spec file changes.
2746 - Documentation updates.
2747 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2748 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2749 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2750 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2751 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2752 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2753 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2754 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2755 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2756 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2757 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2758 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2759 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2760 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2761 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2762 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2763 specified.
2764 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2765 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2766 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2767 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2768 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2769 cupsd.conf.
2770 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2771 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2772 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2773 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2774 filter mode 'l'.
2775 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2776 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2777 defaults for all print queues.
2778 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2779 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2780 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2781 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2782 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2783 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2784 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2785 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2786 printer was defined with the same name.
2787 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2788 remove options for a printer or instance.
2789 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2790 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2791 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2792 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2793 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2794 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2795 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2796 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2797 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2798 job-printer-uri attribute.
2799 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2800 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2801 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2802 remote printers.
2803 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2804 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2805 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2806 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2807 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2808 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2809 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2810 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2811 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2812 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2813 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2814 printer set using lpoptions.
2815 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2816 list the printer-specific options and their current
2817 settings.
2818 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2819 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2820 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2821 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2822 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2823 text printing.
2824 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2825 instances.
2826 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2827 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2828 limit.
2829 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2830 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2831 new client connections.
2832 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2833 required pagedevice parameters.
2834 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2835 under Linux.
2836 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2837 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2838 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2839 would stop processing.
2840 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2841 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2842 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2843 that was currently printing a job.
2844 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2845 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2846 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2847 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2848 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2849 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2850 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2851 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2852 option values separated by commas.
2853 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2854 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2855 and free bytes once a minute)
2856 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2857 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2858 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2859 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2860 printers.
2861 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2862 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2863 requests from that address to the server name.
2864 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2865 server.domain.com to localhost.
2866 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2867 the previous device and driver settings (except
2868 for serial ports.)
2869 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2870 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2871 after a job is completed when job file history is
2872 turned off.
2873 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2874 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2875 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2876 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2877 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2878 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2879 for "lpstat -v" output.
2880 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2881 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2882 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2883 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2884 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2885 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2886 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2887 by itself without quoting.
2888
2889
2890 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2891
2892 - Makefile/configure fixes
2893 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2894 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2895 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2896 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2897 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2898 number generator for certificates.
2899 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2900 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2901 the filter user, typically "lp".
2902 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2903 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2904 user.
2905 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2906 function.
2907 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2908 standard input.
2909 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2910 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2911 page header as needed.
2912 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2913 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2914 immediately when last-document was true.
2915 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2916 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2917 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2918 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2919 and many PS printers.
2920 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2921 filters.
2922 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2923 debugging problems.
2924 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2925 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2926 calling problem...)
2927 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2928 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2929 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2930 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2931 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2932 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2933 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2934 by default.
2935 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2936 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2937 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2938 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2939 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2940 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2941 CUPS software.
2942
2943
2944 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2945
2946 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2947 old PDF filter files.
2948 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2949 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2950 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2951 network devices.
2952 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2953 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2954 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2955 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2956 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2957 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2958 is defined otherwise.
2959 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2960 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2961 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2962 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2963 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2964 0-length PPD file was read.
2965 - The image filters were not handling images with
2966 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2967 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2968 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2969 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2970 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2971 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2972 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2973 documents if they don't have it.
2974 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2975 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2976 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2977 --prefix was specified.
2978 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2979 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2980 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2981 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2982 color mode until it can be fixed.
2983 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2984 correctly in all cases.
2985 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2986 time in banner files.
2987
2988
2989 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2990
2991 - Documentation updates.
2992 - Configuration script updates.
2993 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2994 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2995 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2996 ppd_file_t structure.
2997 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2998 before it was used.
2999 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3000 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3001 the localhost address.
3002 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3003 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3004 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3005 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3006 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3007 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3008 PDF support.
3009 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3010 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3011 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3012 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3013 pstoraster.
3014 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3015 the user.
3016 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3017 not running.
3018 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3019 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3020 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3021 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3022 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3023 setpagedevice operator.
3024 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3025 the default banner pages.
3026 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3027 "position" option.
3028 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3029 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3030 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3031 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3032 "printer@server") when possible.
3033 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3034 with no PageSize attributes.
3035 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3036 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3037 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3038 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3039 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3040 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3041 cupsd.
3042 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3043 locations.
3044 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3045 variables to specify installation directories as
3046 needed.
3047 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3048 when the scheduler is started.
3049 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3050 printer.
3051 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3052 printer are automatically deleted.
3053 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3054 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3055 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3056 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3057 request.
3058 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3059 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3060 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3061 is "no-hold".
3062 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3063 responses.
3064 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3065 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3066 printer.
3067 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3068 request fails.
3069 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3070 printer and class names.
3071 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3072 received in a POST request.
3073
3074
3075 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3076
3077 - Documentation updates.
3078 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3079 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3080 method.
3081 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3082 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3083 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3084 - Missing the job-restart template.
3085 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3086 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3087 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3088 not specified.
3089 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3090 from getting through.
3091 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3092 stderr.
3093 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3094 job name and display string, if supported.
3095 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3096 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3097 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3098 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3099 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3100 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3101 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3102 UTF-8...
3103 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3104 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3105 could cause cupsd to crash.
3106 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3107 crash.
3108 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3109 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3110 "HH:MM:SS".
3111 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3112 connection structure.
3113 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3114 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3115 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3116 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3117 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3118 is a potential security hole.
3119 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3120 new pstoraster.
3121 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3122 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3123 (/dev/usblp#)
3124 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3125 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3126 release.
3127
3128
3129 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3130
3131 - Documentation updates.
3132 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3133 now compile better under *BSD.)
3134 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3135 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3136 tray was selected.
3137 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3138 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3139 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3140 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3141 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3142 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3143 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3144 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3145 can handle.
3146 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3147 cause cupsd to crash.
3148 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3149 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3150 mime.types file.
3151 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3152 of file to be used as a banner.
3153 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3154 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3155 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3156 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3157 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3158 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3159 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3160 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3161 the IANA registrations.
3162 - New PostScript banner pages.
3163 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3164 filter.
3165 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3166 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3167 code.
3168 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3169 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3170 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3171 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3172 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3173 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3174 accurate width specification.
3175 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3176 files.
3177 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3178 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3179 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3180 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3181 that support it.
3182 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3183 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3184 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3185 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3186 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3187 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3188 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3189 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3190 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3191 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3192
3193
3194 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3195
3196 - Documentation updates.
3197 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3198 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3199 shell and Bash.
3200 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3201 code.
3202 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3203 manufacturer in the PPD.
3204 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3205 output attributes to be set.
3206 - Added banner page support.
3207 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3208 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3209 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3210 timezone offset.
3211 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3212 file is generated).
3213 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3214 printers when they became available.
3215 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3216 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3217 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3218 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3219 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3220 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3221 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3222 (override with -f)
3223 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3224 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3225 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3226 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3227 folks.
3228 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3229 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3230 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3231 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3232 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3233 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3234 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3235 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3236 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3237 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3238 languages (still only have templates for English)
3239 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3240 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3241 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3242 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3243 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3244 needed for some sites)
3245 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3246 templates.
3247 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3248 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3249 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3250 specific printer.
3251 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3252 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3253 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3254 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3255 authentication.
3256 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3257 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3258 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3259 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3260 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3261 filter.
3262 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3263 US-ASCII.
3264 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3265 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3266 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3267 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3268 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3269 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3270 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3271 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3272 basis without environment variables.
3273 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3274
3275
3276 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3277
3278 - Documentation updates.
3279 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3280 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3281 printer.
3282 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3283 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3284 distribution.
3285 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3286 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3287 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3288 to match the IPP spec.
3289 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3290 (previously they would be ignored)
3291 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3292 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3293 machines.
3294 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3295 and printer.
3296 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3297 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3298 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3299 BrowseRelay directives.
3300 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3301 still receives information on remote printers.
3302 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3303 networks)
3304 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3305 of PPD files.
3306 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3307 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3308 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3309 close their input files.
3310
3311
3312 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3313
3314 - NEW web-based administration interface.

3319 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3320 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3321 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3322 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3323 administration.
3324 - NEW USB backend.
3325 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3326 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3327 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3328 print queue problems that have been reported.
3329 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3330 was being used.
3331 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3332 printer.
3333 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3334 printer.
