43 (STR #699)
44 - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
45 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
46 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
47 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
48 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
49 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR

52 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic
53 problems with IPP printers from some vendors (STR
54 #716)
55 - The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL
56 language (STR #713)

81 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
82 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
83 empty" (STR #660)
84 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
85 comparison when checking for group membership, which
86 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
87 (STR #647)
88 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated
89 with certain network errors, making troubleshooting
90 difficult (STR #648, #649)

105 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check
106 IP address values (STR #608)
107 - The httpUpdate() function could return HTTP_ERROR
108 instead of the HTTP status if the server closed the
109 connection before the client received the whole
110 response (STR #611)
111 - The LPD mini-daemon did not allow the administrator to
112 force banner pages on (STR #605)
113 - Added PAM support for Darwin/MacOS X (STR #550)

136 - Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
137 #484)
138 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,
139 which is outside of the range defined by RFC 1179;
140 also added a new (default) "reserve=any" option for
141 any priviledged port from 1 to 1023 (STR #474)
142 - The scheduler did not check for a valid Listen/Port
143 configuration (STR #499)

161 #588)
162 - The USB backend did not build on Solaris x86 (STR
163 #585)
164 - The cupsDoAuthentication() function did not use the
165 method name for Digest authentication (STR #584)
166 - The scheduler could crash if a print job could not be
167 printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned
168 off (STR #535)
169 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
170 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
171 (STR #565)
172 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
173 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
174 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
175 when creating the data and control filenames, which
176 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
177 long filenames (STR #560)
178 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
179 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
180 information from being updated (STR #562)
181 - The scheduler did not send common or history data to
182 the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request
183 (STR #559)

185 remaining response data in requests (STR #558)
186 - The scheduler could complete a job before it collected
187 the exit status from all filters and the backend (STR
188 #448)
189 - The PPD conformance tests did not catch group
190 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
191 size (STR #454)
192 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the
193 client connection on errors rather than shutting down
194 the receive end of the socket; this caused resource
195 problems on some systems (STR #434)
196 - cups-polld didn't compile on Tru64 5.1B (STR #436)
197 - "lpc stat" crashed if the device URI was empty (STR
198 #548)

200 - std:floor() cast needed on IRIX 6.5 with SGI C++
201 compiler (STR #497)
202 - cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() did
203 not handle EAGAIN and EINTR properly (STR #473)

213 (STR #408)
214 - The web interface could lockup when displaying certain
215 URLs (STR #459)
216 - The PostScript filters now convert underscores ("_")
217 to spaces for custom classification names (STR #555)
218
219
220 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
221
222 - The pstops filter didn't properly handle collated,
223 duplexed copies of documents with an odd number of
224 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
225 copies (STR #389)
226 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
227 #430)
228 - Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags
229 instead of the subtype to determine whether to print
230 an annotation (STR #425)
231 - The French web interface localization did not use
232 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
233 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and
234 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
235 test results (STR #380)
236 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
237 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
238 - The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary
239 files with tmpnam (STR #406)
240 - The HTTP code did not use a case-insensitive
241 comparison when checking for the Basic authentication
242 method (STR #407)
243 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
244 character, which is not required by the Base64
245 encoding specification (STR #407)
246 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
247 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
248 IRIX (STR #422)
249 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
250 to be consistent with the way other signals are
251 handled (STR #423)
252 - The cupsaddsmb program didn't export the new CUPS

254 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
255 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
256 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
257 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
258 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
259 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
260 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)

263
264
265 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
266
267 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
268 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
269 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
270 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
271 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
272 the error_log file (STR #337)
273 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
274 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
275 defined PageSize (STR #365)
276 - The IPP code did not wait for a reply indefinitely on
277 HTTP connections in "blocking" mode (STR #377)
278 - The web interfaces did not rewrite the default printer
279 URI properly (STR #299 and #369)
280 - The LPD backend passed the C and L commands in the
281 wrong order (STR #378)
282 - The Dymo label printer driver did not set the label

285 99999 (STR #371)
286 - The Visual C++ project files did not work (STR #366)
287 - The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
288 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
289 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
290 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
291 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
292 #354)
293 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
294 cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
295 localization data (STR #354)
296 - The scheduler did not return the
297 job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
298 attributes (STR #356)
299 - The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
300 driver for Windows (STR #357)
301
302
303 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
304
305 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
306 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
307 enabled (STR #259)
308 - The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
309 were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
310 - The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
311 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
312
313
314 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
315
316 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
317 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
318 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
319 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
320 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
321 names, which caused some problems with the generated
322 URLs (STR #320)
323 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
324 option (STR #331)
325
326
327 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
328
329 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
330 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
331 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
332 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
333 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
334 arguments (STR #313)
335 - The web admin interface did not display an error
336 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
337 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
338 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
339 #292)
340
341
342 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
343
344 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
345 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
346 printers that returned status info but were not ready
347 for more print data (STR #287)
348 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
349 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
350 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
351 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
352 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
353 #289)
354 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
355 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
356 10.3 (STR #270)
357 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
358 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
359 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
360 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
361 very difficult (STR #277)
362 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
363 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
364 the filter group (STR #283)
365 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
366 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
367 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
368 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
369 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
370 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
371 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
372 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
373 language localization for a request; this caused extra
374 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
375 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
376 one language specified (STR #267)
377
378
379 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
380
381 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
382 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
383 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
384 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
385 is 64 bits (STR #262)
386 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
387 Hat (STR #253)
388 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
389 the standard constants when reporting printer status
390 bits on Linux (STR #254)
391 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
392 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
393 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
394 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
395 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
396 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
397 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
398 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
399 URI (STR #247)
400 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
401 (STR #249)
402 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
403 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
404 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
405 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
406 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
407 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
408 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
409 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
410 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
411 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
412 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
413 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
414 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
415 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
416 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
417 (STR #224)
418 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
419 9 (STR #217)
420 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
421 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
422 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
423 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
424 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
425 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
426 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
427 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
428 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
429 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
430 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
431 level (STR #212)
432 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
433 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
434 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
435 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
436 (STR #209)
437 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
438 page device attributes (STR #208)
439 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
440 the user already had specified the proper orientation
441 (STR #207)
442 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
443 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
444 #193)
445 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
446 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
447 files (STR #192)
448 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
449 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
450 programs rather than the port that the browser
451 connected to (STR #103)
452 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
453 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
454 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
455 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
456 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
457 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
458 files define the job-priority and
459 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
460 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
461 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
462 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
463 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
464 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
465 caused problems with some implementations of the
466 standard C library. (STR #159)
467 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
468 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
469 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
470 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
471 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
472 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
473 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
474 signal handlers (STR #190)
475 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
476 strings if the description string is not available
477 (STR #174)
478 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
479 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
480 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
481 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
482 group (STR #158)
483 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
484 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
485 #147)
486 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
487 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
488 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
489 - Printers with special characters in their names were
490 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
491 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
492 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
493 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
494 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
495 not blank (STR #152)
496 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
497 files did not get installed (STR #148)
498 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
499 without shared libraries (STR #149)
500 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
501 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
502 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
503 capability bit (STR #144)
504 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
505 amount of memory (STR #145)
506 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
507 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
508 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
509 #139)
510 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
511 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
512 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
513 block waiting for data (STR #132)
514 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
515 command after the PJL language escape to work around
516 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
517 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
518 value properly (STR #127)
519 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
520 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
521
522
523 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
524
525 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
526 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
527 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
528 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
529 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
530 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
531 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
532 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
533 options (STR #123)
534 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
535 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
536 #117)
537 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
538 - The configure script didn't specify the static
539 libraries properly when configuring with the
540 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
541 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
542 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
543 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
544 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
545 message (STR #94)
546 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
547
548
549 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
550
551 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
552 classes would get double banner pages for each
553 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
554 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
555 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
556 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
557 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
558 next restart (STR #82)
559 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
560 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
561 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
562 #70)
563 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
564 language preference (STR #78)
565 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
566 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
567 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
568 in banner pages (STR #77)
569 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
570 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
571 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
572 annoying error message (STR #45)
573
574
575 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
576
577 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
578 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
579 #59)
580 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
581 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
582 - The German web interface templates did not use the
583 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
584 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
585 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
586 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
587 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
588 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
589
590
591 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
592
593 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
594 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
595 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
596 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
597 user - STR #48)
598 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
599 (STR #46)
600 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
601 Gilles QUERRET)
602 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
603 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
604 was handled (STR #47)
605 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
606 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
607 interface (STR #40)
608 - The scheduler did not put the
609 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
610 attributes group.
611 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
612 defined by the IPP implementation document.
613 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
614 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
615 and #39)
616 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
617 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
618 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
619 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
620 requirements (STR #33)
621 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
622 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
623 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
624 symlinks (STR #33)
625 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
626 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
627 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
628 hardware (STR #32)
629 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
630 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
631 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
632 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
633 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
634 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
635 Jacke)
636 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
637 Bjoern Jacke)
638
639
640 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
641
642 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
643 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
644 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
645 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
646 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
647 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
648 compilers cannot be found.
649 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
650 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
651 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
652 (STR #28).
653 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
654 not work.
655 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
656 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
657 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
658 was not added to the collection value.
659 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
660 was not added to the collection value.
661 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
662 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
663 directives.
664 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
665 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
666 new configuration directives.
667 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
668 on the page (STR #18)
669 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
670 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
671 #13)
672 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
673 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
674 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
675 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
676 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
677 message files such as those used for the job history
678 in /var/spool/cups.
679
680
681 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
682
683 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
684 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
685 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
686 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
687 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
688 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
689 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
690 permissions of /dev/null...)
691 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
692 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
693 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
694 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
695 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
696 no "lp" queue) is sent.
697 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
698 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
699 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
700 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
701 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
702 retries and the time between retries.
703 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
704 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
705 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
706 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
707 your locale.
708 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
709 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
710 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
711 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
712 compressed using gzip.
713 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
714 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
715 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
716 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
717 a large number of clients connected to the system.
718 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
719 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
720 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
721 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
722 respectively) and has some additional changes to
723 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
724 when only one copy was requested.
725 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
726 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
727 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
728 - Added support for STATE: messages
729 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
730 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
731 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
732 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
733 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
734 root.
735 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
736 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
737 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
738 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
739 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
740 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
741 information.
742 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
743 field.
744 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
745 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
746 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
747 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
748 attribute to control whether job history data is
749 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
750 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
751 implementation.
752 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
753 using SLP browsing.
754 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
755 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
756 filter could be executed.
757 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
758 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
759 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
760 Kubla]
761 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
762 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
763 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
764 sent. It now only references attributes that change
765 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
766 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
767 2k.
768 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
769 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
770 signals on Solaris 8.
771 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
772 by group name as well as user name.
773 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
774 printer was available.
775 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
776 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
777 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
778 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
779 printable area of the page.
780 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
781 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
782 conformant PS files.
783 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
784 the image on the page when printing in landscape
785 orientation.
786 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
787 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
788 and ManualFeed commands.
789 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
790 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
791 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
792 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
793 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
794 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
795 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
796 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
797 list of available devices, when it should have been
798 using the default signal handler.
799 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
800 option with a NULL last string.
801 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
802 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
803 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
804 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
805 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
806 up...
807 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
808 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
809 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
810 non-blocking HTTP connections.
811 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
812 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
813 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
814 value; it is a keyword value.
815 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
816 has gone away and reports an error.
817 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
818 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
819 that support it.
820 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
821 variable under MacOS X.
822 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
823 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
824 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
825 the form "file:///path" properly.
826 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
827 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
828 use when printing binary PostScript data.
829 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
830 directive, so only the first group would be used.
831 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
832 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
833 for systems with large numbers of printers.
834 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
835 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
836 sequence.
837 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
838 the PPD file.
839 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
840 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
841 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
842 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
843 baseline donated by Apple.
844 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
845 Apple.
846 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
847 printer classes on the network.
848 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
849 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
850 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
851 option.
852 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
853 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
854 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
855 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
856 "{?time-at-creation}".
857 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
858 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
859 via IPP.
860 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
861 even if FileDevices is set to No.
862 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
863 when it should have used hstrerror().
864 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
865 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
866 means that printers that don't report their serial
867 numbers in the device ID string will not be
868 individually selectable.
869 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
870 when a page contained an embedded document.
871 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
872 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
873 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
874 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
875 the same.
876 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
877 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
878 of pages with duplexing enabled.
879 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
880 application to add less than 1 value.
881 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
882 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
883 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
884 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
885 too large for the buffer.
886 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
887 by Jeff Licquia.
888 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
889 an attribute definition.
890 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
891 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
892 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
893 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
894 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
895 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
896 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
897 situations. The warning message is now written no more
898 than once per minute.
899 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
900 PS RIPs.
901 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
902 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
903 quotas would not work.
904 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
905 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
906 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
907 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
908 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
909 program or man page files.
910
911
912 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
913
914 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
915 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
916 write a job control file.
917 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
918 directive to control whether new printers can be added
919 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
920 default is to not allow printers with these device
921 URIs.
922 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
923 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
924 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
925 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
926 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
927 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
928 non-conforming PPD file.
929 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
930 TrueType fonts.
931 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
932 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
933 attacks.
934 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
935 interface.
936 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
937 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
938 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
939 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
940 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
941 the scheduler did not close the connections
942 immediately on all platforms.
943 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
944 checks for all image formats.
945 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
946 back to its original at the end of a job; this
947 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
948 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
949 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
950 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
951 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
952 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
953 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
954 PPD files.
955 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
956 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
957 Win9x PostScript drivers.
958 - The web interface did not always report the correct
959 error message.
960 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
961 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
962 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
963 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
964 process from returning.
965
966
967 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
968
969 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
970 backend had to retry a print job.
971 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
972 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
973 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
974 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
975 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
976 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
977 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
978 ticket data.
979 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
980 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
981 after it was shutdown.
982 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
983 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
984 group membership still requires the account name to be
985 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
986 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
987 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
988 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
989 on the options that are sent in a job.
990 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
991 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
992 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
993 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
994 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
995 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
996 longer treated as boolean options.
997 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
998 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
999 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1000 caused by servers sending the status line and
1001 newline(s) in separate packets.
1002 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1003 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1004 empty.
1005 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1006 CUPS supports.
1007 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1008 Windows.
1009 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1010 printing of Sun Raster images.
1011 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1012 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1013 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
1014 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1015 (interrupted system call) errors.
1016 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1017 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1018 caused by the child signal handler.
1019 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1020 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1021 error.
1022 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1023 URI syntax.
1024 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1025 settings while loading a PPD file.
1026 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1027 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1028 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
1029 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1030 properly localized time string.
1031 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1032 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1033 configuring a printer or class.
1034 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1035 filters will not stop a print queue.
1036 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1037 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1038 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1039 scheduler.
1040 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1041 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1042 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1043 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1044 queues.
1045 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1046 filename.
1047 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1048 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1049 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1050 automatic form feed.
1051 - French translation updates.
1052 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1053 embedding it in PostScript output.
1054 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1055 MacOS X.
1056 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1057 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1058 has been removed.
1059
1060
1061 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1062
1063 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1064 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1065 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1066 printer.
1067 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1068 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
1069 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1070 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1071 interface might not work.
1072 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1073 you can display completed jobs as well as
1074 not-completed (pending) jobs.
1075 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1076 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1077 not be printed.
1078 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1079 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1080 occurs.
1081 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1082 stopped remote printer.
1083 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1084 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1085 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1086 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1087 the page number.
1088 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1089 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
1090 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
1091 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1092 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1093 banner pages.
1094 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1095 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1096 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1097 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
1098 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1099 reliably.
1100 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1101 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1102 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1103 using more than one USB printer.
1104 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1105 connection when sending an error that requires the
1106 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1107 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1108 encryption enabled.
1109 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1110 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1111 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1112 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
1113 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1114 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1115 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1116 implement the LPD protocol properly...
1117 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1118 PostScript or image filters.
1119 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1120 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
1121 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1122 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
1123 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1124 when modifying an active printer.
1125 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1126 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1127 defines a circular filter rule.
1128 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1129 requirements comment in some cases.
1130 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1131 files.
1132 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1133 better handle printing EPS files.
1134 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1135 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1136 compatibility).
1137 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
1138 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1139 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1140 number of copies that a user can request.
1141 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1142 others and when it forked processes.
1143 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1144 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1145 shutdown.
1146 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1147 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1148 init script functions, if available.
1149 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1150 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1151 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1152 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
1153 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1154 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1155 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
1156 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1157 printer" status of the printer.
1158 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1159 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1160 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1161 a bad or missing temporary directory.
1162 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1163 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1164 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
1165 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1166 connect to the remote server name in a
1167 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1168 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1169 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1170 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
1171 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1172 the program would try to print the option letter that
1173 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1174 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
1175 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1176 attributes from printer options in
1177 cupsEncodeOptions().
1178 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1179 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
1180 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
1181 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1182 devices under *BSD.
1183 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1184 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1185 characters.
1186 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1187 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1188 the language mode.
1189 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1190 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1191 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1192 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1193 all of the CUPS API functions.
1194 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
1195 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1196 files when configuring a printer.
1197 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1198 printer state before stopping the current job.
1199 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1200 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1201 driver.
1202 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1203 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1204 that printer is available.
1205 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1206 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1207 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1208 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1209 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1210 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
1211 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1212 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1213 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1214 username:password field of a URI.
1215 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1216 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1217 to accept connections.
1218 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1219 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1220 and current directory.
1221 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1222 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1223 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1224 for existing jobs.
1225 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1226 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1227 actually provided.
1228 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
1229 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1230 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
1231 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1232 that do not have a PPD file to export.
1233 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1234 case-insensitive.
1235 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1236 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
1237 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1238 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1239 Solaris.
1240 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1241 printing banner pages.
1242 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1243 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1244 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1245 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1246 a bug in the filter validation code.
1247 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1248 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1249 file.
1250 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1251 description from member printers.
1252 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1253 hostnames that started with a number.
1254 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1255 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1256 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1257 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1258 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1259 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1260 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1261 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1262 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1263 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1264 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1265 up...
1266 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1267 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1268 authentication didn't work for administration
1269 operations.
1270 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1271 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1272 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1273 interface to "localhost".
1274 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1275 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1276 only return textual data.
1277
1278
1279 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1280
1281 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1282 string function header, which is required on systems
1283 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1284 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1285 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1286 have to.
1287
1288
1289 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1290
1291 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1292 license exception.
1293 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1294 name if no value has been set.
1295 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1296 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1297 correct tray.
1298 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1299 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1300 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1301 options.
1302 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1303 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1304 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1305 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1306 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1307 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1308 queues) on the server.
1309 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1310 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1311 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1312 - New SCSI printer backend.
1313 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1314 set definitions.
1315 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1316 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1317 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1318 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1319 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1320 - Added French translation of man pages.
1321 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1322 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1323 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1324 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1325 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1326 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1327 comes from...
1328 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1329 output, as well as new page-border and
1330 number-up-layout options.
1331 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1332 using the default printer.
1333 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1334 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1335 to allow for longer printer names.
1336 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1337 history data.
1338 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1339 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1340 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1341 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1342 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1343 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1344 caused problems on some installations that would
1345 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1346 level 3.
1347 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1348 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1349 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1350 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1351 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1352 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1353 destination printer or class.
1354 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1355 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1356 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1357 (cupsd).
1358 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1359 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1360 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1361 Keep-Alive like they should.
1362 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1363 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1364 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1365 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1366 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1367 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1368 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1369 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1370 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1371 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1372 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1373 of glyphs.
1374 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1375 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1376 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1377 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1378 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1379 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1380 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1381 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1382 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1383 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1384 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1385 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1386 the proper IPP language code.
1387 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1388 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1389 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1390 classes.
1391 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1392 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1393 did not reflect the correct port number.
1394 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1395 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1396 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1397 control and browsing based on the current interface
1398 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1399 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1400 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1401 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1402 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1403 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1404 group.
1405 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1406 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1407 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1408 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1409 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1410 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1411 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1412 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1413 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1414 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1415 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1416 the correct LANG string.
1417 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1418 and SAMBA server names.
1419 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1420 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1421 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1422 generated dependencies.
1423 - Build fixes for OS X.
1424 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1425 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1426 the loader.
1427 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1428 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1429 the prefix "JCL".
1430 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1431 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1432 while the next page is being processed.
1433 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1434 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1435 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1436 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1437 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1438 printers and classes all at once.
1439 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1440 the Linux PPC port.
1441 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1442 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1443 value.
1444 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1445 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1446 other options as strings.
1447 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1448 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1449 that don't end with a newline.
1450 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1451 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1452 option.
1453 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1454 integers and ranges.
1455 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1456 language support for CUPS.
1457
1458
1459 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1460
1461 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1462 attribute name length or string with language value
1463 was not larger than the read buffer.
1464 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1465 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1466 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1467 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1468 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1469 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1470 - MacOS X fixes.
1471 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1472 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1473 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1474 2.2.x.
1475 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1476 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1477 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1478 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1479 require it.
1480
1481
1482 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1483
1484 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1485 regular printer classes.
1486 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1487 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1488 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1489 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1490 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1491 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1492 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1493 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1494 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1495 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1496 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1497 *.convs files.
1498 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1499 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1500 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1501 goes away.
1502 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1503 whitespace after quoted values.
1504 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1505 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1506 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1507 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1508 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1509 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1510 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1511 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1512 match the page orientation.
1513 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1514 connections to improve performance/response time.
1515 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1516 from Andrea Suatoni.
1517 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1518 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1519 tools support.
1520 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1521 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1522 existed.
1523 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1524 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1525 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1526 page-set option.
1527 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1528 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1529 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1530 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1531 etc.)
1532 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1533 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1534 listing for a printer.
1535 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1536 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1537 make third-party tools happy.
1538 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1539 values.
1540 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1541 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1542 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1543 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1544 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1545 files.
1546 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1547 2 element array.
1548 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1549 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1550 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1551 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1552 the password and nonce strings.
1553 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1554 "%%BeginData:".
1555 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1556 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1557 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1558 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1559 classification level, if set. This way the original
1560 banner settings are preserved when classification
1561 levels are changed or turned off.
1562 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1563 did it restore the original settings.
1564 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1565 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1566 system default group was not used.
1567 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1568 send multiple control files.
1569 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1570 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1571 for the "https" scheme.
1572 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1573 from the web interface for accounts other than
1574 "root".
1575 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1576 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1577 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1578 address properly.
1579 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1580 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1581 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1582 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1583 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1584 information under Linux.
1585 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1586 option (if present) in PPD files.
1587 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1588 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1589 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1590 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1591 the lppasswd command.
1592 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1593 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1594 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1595 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1596 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1597 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1598 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1599 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1600 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1601 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1602 restarting cupsd.
1603 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1604 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1605 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1606 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1607 for commands on the standard input.
1608 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1609 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1610 pointer platforms...
1611
1612
1613 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1614
1615 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1616 files.
1617 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1618 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1619 destination type for the new destination.
1620 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1621 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1622 printer ACLs.
1623 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1624 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1625 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1626 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1627 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1628
1629
1630 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1631
1632 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1633 files.
1634 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1635 files.
1636 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1637 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1638 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1639 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1640 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1641 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1642 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1643 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1644 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1645 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1646 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1647 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1648 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1649 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1650 options exceeded 100...]
1651 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1652 was set to "No".
1653 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1654 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1655 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1656 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1657 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1658 faster.
1659 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1660 support properly support the "-h" or default
1661 server name.
1662 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1663 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1664 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1665 support printer instances.
1666 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1667 underline formatting.
1668 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1669 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1670 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1671 (-1).
1672 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1673 from printing to printers in that class.
1674 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1675 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1676 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1677 slower systems since more information had to be
1678 transferred from server to client.
1679 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1680 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1681 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1682 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1683 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1684 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1685 processing.
1686 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1687 to stderr instead of stdout...
1688 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1689 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1690 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1691 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1692 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1693 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1694 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1695 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1696 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1697 the Spanish banner files.
1698 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1699 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1700 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1701 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1702 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1703 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1704 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1705 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1706 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1707 information when printing via LPD.
1708 - Added many warning and informational messages
1709 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1710 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1711 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1712 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1713 provided.
1714 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1715 cupsd.conf.
1716 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1717 32k.
1718 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1719 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1720 possible.
1721 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1722 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1723 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1724 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1725 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1726 long values.
1727 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1728 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1729 to CGIs.
1730 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1731 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1732 time.
1733 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1734 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1735 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1736 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1737 result in a blank page being output...
1738 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1739 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1740 page comments when printing files directly...)
1741 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1742 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1743 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1744 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1745 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1746 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1747 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1748 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1749 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1750 original destination.
1751 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1752 requested-attributes attribute in the
1753 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1754 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1755 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1756 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1757 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1758 prints.
1759
1760
1761 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1762
1763 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1764 makefiles to install files properly.
1765
1766
1767 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1768
1769 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1770 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1771 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1772 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1773 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1774 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1775 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1776 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1777 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1778 server.
1779 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1780 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1781 with some types of flow control.
1782 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1783 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1784 server.
1785 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1786 lines in the configuration files.
1787 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1788 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1789 from the server.
1790 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1791 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1792 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1793 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1794 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1795 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1796 script. Previously the job's document format was
1797 used, which was incorrect.
1798 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1799 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1800 "raw" model from the command-line.
1801 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1802 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1803 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1804 printers.
1805 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1806 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1807 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1808 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1809 which caused some confusion... :)
1810 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1811 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1812
1813
1814 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1815
1816 - The configure script did not substitute the
1817 correct user and group names.
1818 - The configure script did not use the full path
1819 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1820 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1821 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1822 duplexing.
1823 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1824 distribution.
1825 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1826 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1827 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1828 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1829 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1830 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1831 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1832 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1833 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1834 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1835 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1836 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1837
1838
1839 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1840
1841 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1842 approach for the various tests.
1843 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1844 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1845 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1846 options to specify the default user and group for
1847 CUPS.
1848 - Added AIX shared library support.
1849 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1850 parallel ports.
1851 - Now use install program or script to install
1852 directories, files, and symlinks.
1853 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1854 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1855 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1856 print.
1857 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1858 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1859 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1860 64-bit boundary.
1861 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1862 skip the Digest keyword.
1863 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1864 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1865 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1866 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1867 authentication from passwd.md5.
1868 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1869 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1870 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1871 PPD files should start much faster now.
1872 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1873 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1874 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1875 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1876 times.
1877 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1878 code if an error occurred.
1879 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1880 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1881 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1882 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1883 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1884 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1885 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1886 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1887 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1888 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1889 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1890 copies would come out instead of N.
1891 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1892 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1893 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1894 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1895 output an even number of pages.
1896 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1897 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1898 from being cancelled early.
1899 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1900 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1901 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1902 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1903 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1904 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1905 "ESC i" graphics command.
1906 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1907 printers to a local class.
1908 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1909 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1910 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1911 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1912 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1913 printers that were part of a class.
1914 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1915 printer more than once.
1916 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1917 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1918 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1919 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1920 account.
1921 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1922 against a location of "/printers/name".
1923 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1924 upgrades properly.
1925 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1926 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1927 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1928 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1929 when using Digest authentication.
1930 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1931 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1932 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1933 file.
1934 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1935 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1936 server.
1937 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1938 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1939 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1940 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1941 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1942 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1943 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1944 not the empty string.
1945 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1946 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1947 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1948 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1949 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1950 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1951 supported file types into the
1952 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1953 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1954 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1955 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1956 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1957 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1958 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1959 or behave irratically.
1960 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1961 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1962 specified.
1963 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1964 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1965 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1966 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1967 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1968 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1969 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1970 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1971 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1972 location or description of the printer.
1973 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1974 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1975 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1976 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1977 multiple groups.
1978 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1979 Apache.
1980 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1981 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1982 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1983 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1984 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1985 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1986 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1987 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1988 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1989 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1990 Ghostscript code.
1991 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1992 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1993 size instead of percent of page size.)
1994 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1995 instead of root.
1996 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1997 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1998 size options.
1999 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2000 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2001 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2002 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2003 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2004 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2005 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2006 character.
2007
2008
2009 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2010
2011 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2012 package for pstoraster.
2013 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2014 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2015 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2016 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2017 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2018 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2019 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2020 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2021 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2022 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2023 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2024 history disabled.
2025 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2026 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2027 connections initially.
2028 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2029 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2030 throughout.
2031 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2032 Richard Begg.)
2033 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2034 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2035 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2036 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2037 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2038 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2039 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2040 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2041 #54489...
2042 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2043 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2044 (only affects page-label and Classification
2045 options.)
2046 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2047 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2048
2049
2050 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2051
2052 - Configuration script changes, including new
2053 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2054 documentation and web content according to your
2055 favorite version of the FHS.
2056 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2057 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2058 test CUPS prior to installation.
2059 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2060 insensitive to match Apache.
2061 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2062 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
2063 directives.
2064 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2065 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2066 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2067 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2068 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2069 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2070 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2071 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2072 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2073 formats are supported at present.)
2074 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2075 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2076 all browsing off.
2077 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2078 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2079 document.
2080 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2081 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2082 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2083 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2084 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2085 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2086 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2087 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2088 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2089 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2090 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2091 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2092 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2093 server.
2094 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2095 PJL commands from PPD files.
2096 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2097 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2098 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2099 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2100 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2101 the next/current job in the queue.
2102 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2103 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2104 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2105 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2106 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2107 for Sun Raster images.
2108 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2109 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2110 function.
2111 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2112 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2113 command when printing to USB devices.
2114 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2115 the cupsd.conf file.
2116 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2117 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2118 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2119 /dev/urandom.
2120 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2121 httpGetSubField().
2122 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2123 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2124 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2125 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2126 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2127 CGI was currently running.
2128 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2129 option=true or option=false.
2130 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2131 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2132 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2133 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2134 could cause it to crash.
2135 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2136 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2137 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2138 attribute when altering a job.
2139 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2140 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2141 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2142 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2143 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2144 addresses.
2145 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2146 the current classification on each page.
2147 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2148 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2149 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2150 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2151 encryption.
2152 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2153 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2154 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2155 support instances.
2156 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2157 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2158 and should never be used in a production environment.
2159 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2160 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2161 interface.
2162 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2163 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2164 prevent caching of the results.
2165 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2166 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2167 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2168 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2169 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2170 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2171 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2172 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2173 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2174 submitted by a user.
2175 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2176 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2177 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2178 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2179 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2180 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2181 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2182 embedded spaces.
2183 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2184 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2185 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2186 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2187 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2188 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2189 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2190 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2191 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2192 by the GIMP.
2193 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2194 bypassed the authentication checks.
2195 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2196 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2197 a race condition between the client and server for the
2198 upgrade to TLS.
2199 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2200 the pstops filter.
2201 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2202 the custom page size in the raster header.
2203 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2204 size to the size of the printed image.
2205 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2206 which are required by some printers.
2207 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2208 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2209 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2210 DSC).
2211 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2212 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2213 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2214 driver.
2215 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2216 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2217 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2218 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2219 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2220 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2221 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2222 address this problem.
2223 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2224 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2225 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2226 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2227 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2228 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2229 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2230 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2231 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2232 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2233 to manage print jobs.
2234 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2235 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2236 of 0 length.
2237 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2238 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2239 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2240
2241
2242 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2243
2244 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2245 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2246 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2247 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2248 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2249 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2250 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2251 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2252 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2253 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2254 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2255 /dev/ulptN.
2256 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2257 classes it was a member of.
2258 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2259 implicit status of a class.
2260 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2261 from implicit classes.
2262 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2263 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2264 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2265 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2266 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2267 of the scheduler.
2268 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2269 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2270 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2271 the /#copies variable anymore.
2272 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2273 option.
2274 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2275 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2276 for a bad-request error)
2277 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2278 unimplemented, not invalid.
2279 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2280 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2281 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2282 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2283 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2284 (pstoraster).
2285 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2286 which are not used.
2287 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2288 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2289 cgi_initialize_string().
2290 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2291 ippSetCGIVars()
2292 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2293 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2294 leaks.
2295 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2296 fails.
2297 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2298 setuid() calls.
2299 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2300 calls.
2301 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2302 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2303 bad input.
2304 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2305 missing hex digits.
2306
2307
2308 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2309
2310 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2311 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2312 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2313 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2314 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2315 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2316 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2317 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2318 corruption on many printers)
2319 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2320 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2321 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2322 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2323 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2324 requests.
2325 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2326 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2327 was lost.
2328 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2329 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2330 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2331 to be used for a socket.
2332 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2333 a set were numeric or string types.
2334 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2335 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2336 reading *.conf files.
2337 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2338 same logic as GET requests.
2339 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2340 /index.html to requested directory name.
2341 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2342 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2343 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2344 instead of mode 0600.
2345 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2346 instead of 0600.
2347 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2348 system name in log filenames.
2349 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2350 and hex strings.
2351
2352
2353 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2354
2355 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2356 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2357 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2358
2359
2360 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2361
2362 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2363 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2364 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2365 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2366 filter programs properly.
2367 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2368 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2369 versions of GCC.
2370 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2371 cancelled in StartJob().
2372 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2373 written with restricted permissions.
2374 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2375 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2376 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2377 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2378 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2379 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2380 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2381 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2382 syslog file.
2383 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2384 and only specifies the document format if it is
2385 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2386 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2387 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2388 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2389 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2390 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2391 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2392 cancelled.
2393 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2394 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2395 sporatic web interface problems.
2396 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2397 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2398 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2399 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2400 whitespace.
2401 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2402 instead of an integer.
2403 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2404 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2405 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2406 and user-level access control.
2407 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2408 encryption.
2409 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2410 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2411 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2412 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2413 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2414 to the man page.
2415 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2416 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2417 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2418 queued for a printer.
2419 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2420 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2421 reporting.
2422
2423
2424 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2425
2426 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2427 code.
2428 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2429 check in backend/serial.c.
2430 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2431 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2432 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2433 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2434 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2435 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2436 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2437 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2438 anyways)
2439
2440
2441 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2442
2443 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2444 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2445 for run level 5.
2446 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2447 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2448 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2449 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2450 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2451 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2452 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2453
2454
2455 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2456
2457 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2458 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2459 access from the local system.
2460 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2461 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2462 - Documentation updates.
2463 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2464 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2465 RedHat or Mandrake.
2466 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2467 warnings.
2468 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2469 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2470 hex)
2471 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2472 crash the server.
2473 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2474 correct value length for name-with-language and
2475 text-with-language attributes.
2476 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2477 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2478 efficient IPP server performance.
2479 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2480 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2481 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2482 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2483 attack.
2484 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2485 data required when getting the list of printer or
2486 class information. This should improve performance
2487 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2488 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2489 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2490 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2491 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2492 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2493 override the lpoptions default printer.
2494 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2495 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2496 attributes.
2497 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2498 did not check for the correct value for collated
2499 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2500 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2501 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2502 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2503 scale mode 2.
2504 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2505 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2506 that started with a number.
2507 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2508 multiple times in name-with-language and
2509 text-with-language attributes.
2510 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2511 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2512 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2513 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2514 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2515 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2516 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2517 close the spool directory.
2518 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2519 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2520 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2521 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2522 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2523 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2524 larger than the source string; this protects
2525 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2526 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2527 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2528 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2529 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2530 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2531 remote printers.
2532 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2533 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2534 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2535 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2536 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2537 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2538 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2539 3-argument contains() function.
2540 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2541 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2542 database containing 0 printers.
2543 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2544 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2545 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2546 printer was always busy.
2547 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2548 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2549 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2550 jobs.
2551 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2552 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2553 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2554 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2555 57600 and 115200 baud.
2556 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2557 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2558 option in the device URI.
2559 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2560 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2561 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2562 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2563 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2564 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2565 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2566 job attributes to be changed.
2567 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2568 web interface.
2569 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2570 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2571 since they do not map)
2572 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2573 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2574 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2575 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2576 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2577 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2578 child signals while loading devices.
2579 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2580 and classes.
2581 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2582 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2583 driver dithering code.
2584 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2585 after the first active printer.
2586 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2587 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2588 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2589 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2590 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2591 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2592 accepted null values.
2593 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2594 of the backends.
2595 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2596 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2597 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2598 is set in the plot file.
2599 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2600 user name, causing it to always fail.
2601 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2602 under Windows.
2603 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2604 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2605 didn't handle control file job information in any
2606 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2607 a file.
2608 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2609 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2610 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2611 printing on some systems.
2612 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2613 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2614 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2615 it.
2616
2617
2618 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2619
2620 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2621 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2622 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2623 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2624 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2625 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2626 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2627 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2628 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2629 order, which prevented remote printing.
2630 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2631 IPP requests and language information when closing
2632 a client connection.
2633 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2634 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2635 compatibles)
2636 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2637 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2638 on many OS's.
2639 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2640 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2641 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2642 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2643 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2644 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2645 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2646 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2647 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2648 PPD files.
2649 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2650 when the destination printer supported it. This
2651 caused problems when printing text files to other
2652 CUPS servers.
2653 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2654 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2655 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2656 the dates.)
2657 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2658 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2659 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2660 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2661 be clipped.
2662
2663
2664 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2665
2666 - Makefile fixes.
2667 - RPM spec file changes.
2668 - Documentation updates.
2669 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2670 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2671 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2672 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2673 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2674 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2675 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2676 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2677 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2678 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2679 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2680 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2681 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2682 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2683 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2684 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2685 specified.
2686 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2687 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2688 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2689 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2690 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2691 cupsd.conf.
2692 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2693 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2694 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2695 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2696 filter mode 'l'.
2697 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2698 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2699 defaults for all print queues.
2700 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2701 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2702 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2703 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2704 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2705 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2706 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2707 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2708 printer was defined with the same name.
2709 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2710 remove options for a printer or instance.
2711 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2712 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2713 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2714 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2715 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2716 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2717 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2718 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2719 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2720 job-printer-uri attribute.
2721 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2722 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2723 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2724 remote printers.
2725 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2726 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2727 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2728 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2729 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2730 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2731 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2732 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2733 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2734 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2735 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2736 printer set using lpoptions.
2737 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2738 list the printer-specific options and their current
2739 settings.
2740 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2741 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2742 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2743 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2744 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2745 text printing.
2746 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2747 instances.
2748 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2749 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2750 limit.
2751 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2752 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2753 new client connections.
2754 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2755 required pagedevice parameters.
2756 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2757 under Linux.
2758 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2759 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2760 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2761 would stop processing.
2762 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2763 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2764 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2765 that was currently printing a job.
2766 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2767 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2768 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2769 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2770 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2771 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2772 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2773 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2774 option values separated by commas.
2775 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2776 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2777 and free bytes once a minute)
2778 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2779 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2780 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2781 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2782 printers.
2783 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2784 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2785 requests from that address to the server name.
2786 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2787 server.domain.com to localhost.
2788 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2789 the previous device and driver settings (except
2790 for serial ports.)
2791 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2792 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2793 after a job is completed when job file history is
2794 turned off.
2795 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2796 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2797 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2798 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2799 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2800 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2801 for "lpstat -v" output.
2802 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2803 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2804 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2805 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2806 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2807 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2808 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2809 by itself without quoting.
2810
2811
2812 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2813
2814 - Makefile/configure fixes
2815 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2816 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2817 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2818 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2819 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2820 number generator for certificates.
2821 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2822 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2823 the filter user, typically "lp".
2824 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2825 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2826 user.
2827 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2828 function.
2829 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2830 standard input.
2831 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2832 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2833 page header as needed.
2834 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2835 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2836 immediately when last-document was true.
2837 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2838 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2839 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2840 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2841 and many PS printers.
2842 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2843 filters.
2844 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2845 debugging problems.
2846 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2847 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2848 calling problem...)
2849 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2850 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2851 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2852 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2853 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2854 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2855 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2856 by default.
2857 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2858 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2859 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2860 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2861 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2862 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2863 CUPS software.
2864
2865
2866 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2867
2868 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2869 old PDF filter files.
2870 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2871 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2872 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2873 network devices.
2874 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2875 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2876 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2877 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2878 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2879 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2880 is defined otherwise.
2881 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2882 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2883 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2884 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2885 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2886 0-length PPD file was read.
2887 - The image filters were not handling images with
2888 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2889 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2890 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2891 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2892 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2893 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2894 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2895 documents if they don't have it.
2896 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2897 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2898 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2899 --prefix was specified.
2900 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2901 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2902 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2903 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2904 color mode until it can be fixed.
2905 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2906 correctly in all cases.
2907 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2908 time in banner files.
2909
2910
2911 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2912
2913 - Documentation updates.
2914 - Configuration script updates.
2915 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2916 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2917 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2918 ppd_file_t structure.
2919 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2920 before it was used.
2921 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2922 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2923 the localhost address.
2924 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2925 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2926 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2927 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2928 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2929 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2930 PDF support.
2931 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2932 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2933 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2934 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2935 pstoraster.
2936 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2937 the user.
2938 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2939 not running.
2940 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2941 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2942 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2943 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2944 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2945 setpagedevice operator.
2946 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2947 the default banner pages.
2948 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2949 "position" option.
2950 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2951 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2952 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2953 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2954 "printer@server") when possible.
2955 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2956 with no PageSize attributes.
2957 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2958 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2959 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2960 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2961 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2962 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2963 cupsd.
2964 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2965 locations.
2966 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2967 variables to specify installation directories as
2968 needed.
2969 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2970 when the scheduler is started.
2971 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2972 printer.
2973 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2974 printer are automatically deleted.
2975 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2976 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2977 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2978 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2979 request.
2980 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2981 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2982 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2983 is "no-hold".
2984 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2985 responses.
2986 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2987 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2988 printer.
2989 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2990 request fails.
2991 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2992 printer and class names.
2993 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2994 received in a POST request.
2995
2996
2997 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2998
2999 - Documentation updates.
3000 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3001 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3002 method.
3003 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3004 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3005 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3006 - Missing the job-restart template.
3007 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3008 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3009 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3010 not specified.
3011 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3012 from getting through.
3013 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3014 stderr.
3015 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3016 job name and display string, if supported.
3017 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3018 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3019 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3020 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3021 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3022 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3023 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3024 UTF-8...
3025 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3026 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3027 could cause cupsd to crash.
3028 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3029 crash.
3030 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3031 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3032 "HH:MM:SS".
3033 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3034 connection structure.
3035 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3036 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3037 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3038 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3039 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3040 is a potential security hole.
3041 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3042 new pstoraster.
3043 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3044 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3045 (/dev/usblp#)
3046 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3047 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3048 release.

3051 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3052
3053 - Documentation updates.
3054 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3055 now compile better under *BSD.)
3056 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3057 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3058 tray was selected.
3059 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3060 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3061 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3062 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3063 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3064 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3065 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3066 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3067 can handle.
3068 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3069 cause cupsd to crash.
3070 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3071 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3072 mime.types file.
3073 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3074 of file to be used as a banner.
3075 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3076 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3077 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3078 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3079 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3080 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3081 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3082 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3083 the IANA registrations.
3084 - New PostScript banner pages.
3085 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3086 filter.
3087 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3088 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3089 code.
3090 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3091 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3092 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3093 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3094 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3095 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3096 accurate width specification.
3097 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3098 files.
3099 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3100 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3101 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3102 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3103 that support it.
3104 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3105 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3106 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3107 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3108 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3109 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3110 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3111 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3112 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3113 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3114
3115
3116 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3117
3118 - Documentation updates.
3119 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3120 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3121 shell and Bash.
3122 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3123 code.
3124 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3125 manufacturer in the PPD.
3126 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3127 output attributes to be set.
3128 - Added banner page support.
3129 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3130 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3131 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3132 timezone offset.
3133 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3134 file is generated).
3135 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3136 printers when they became available.
3137 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3138 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3139 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3140 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3141 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3142 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3143 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3144 (override with -f)
3145 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3146 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3147 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3148 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3149 folks.
3150 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3151 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3152 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3153 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3154 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3155 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3156 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3157 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3158 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3159 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3160 languages (still only have templates for English)
3161 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3162 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3163 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3164 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3165 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3166 needed for some sites)
3167 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3168 templates.
3169 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3170 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3171 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3172 specific printer.
3173 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3174 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3175 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3176 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3177 authentication.
3178 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3179 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3180 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3181 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3182 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3183 filter.
3184 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3185 US-ASCII.
3186 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3187 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3188 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3189 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3190 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3191 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3192 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3193 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3194 basis without environment variables.
3195 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3196
3197
3198 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3199
3200 - Documentation updates.
3201 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3202 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3203 printer.
3204 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3205 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3206 distribution.
3207 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3208 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3209 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3210 to match the IPP spec.
3211 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3212 (previously they would be ignored)
3213 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3214 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3215 machines.
3216 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3217 and printer.
3218 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3219 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3220 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3221 BrowseRelay directives.
3222 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3223 still receives information on remote printers.
3224 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3225 networks)
3226 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3227 of PPD files.
3228 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3229 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3230 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3231 close their input files.
3232
3233
3234 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3235
3236 - NEW web-based administration interface.
3237 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
3238 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
3239 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
3240 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
3241 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3242 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3243 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3244 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3245 administration.
3246 - NEW USB backend.
3247 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.

3251 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3252 was being used.
3253 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3254 printer.
3255 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3256 printer.
