4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc1
5
6 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler did not correctly
7 set the ownership of the log files, preventing log
8 file rotation (STR #686)

10 files (STR #687)
11 - The pdftops filter did not show all annotation objects
12 in a PDF file (STR #674)

14 textual form elements, making it impossible to print a
15 filled-in form (STR #663)
16 - Integrated the MacOS X/Darwin USB backend into the
17 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
18 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
19 empty" (STR #660)
20 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
21 comparison when checking for group membership, which
22 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
23 (STR #647)
24 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated
25 with certain network errors, making troubleshooting
26 difficult (STR #648, #649)
27 - The cupstestppd program did not allow a default choice
28 of "Unknown" as required by the PPD spec (STR #651)
29 - The select() buffers are now allocated to be at least
30 as large as sizeof(fd_set) (STR #639)
31 - The LPD backend now supports overriding the print job
32 username via the device URI (STR #631)
33 - The scheduler did not handle an unknown MIME type when
34 checking for a CGI script (STR #603)
35 - Added a timeout optimization to the scheduler's main
36 loop to allow CUPS to sleep more of the time (STR
37 #629)
38 - The USB backend now retries printing to devices of the
39 form "usb://make/model" if any USB port shows up as

50 - The web interface now provides a "Set As Default"
51 button to set the default printer or class on a server
52 (STR #577)
53 - The HTTP authentication cache was broken (STR #517)
54 - The cupstestppd utility now fails PPD files that have
55 a DefaultOption keyword for a non-existance option

70 program was sending data faster than the client could
71 take it (STR #595)
72 - Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
73 #484)
74 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,

77 any priviledged port from 1 to 1023 (STR #474)
78 - The scheduler did not check for a valid Listen/Port
79 configuration (STR #499)
80 - The cupsPrintFiles() function did not always set the

102 - The scheduler could crash if a print job could not be
103 printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned
104 off (STR #535)
105 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
106 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
107 (STR #565)
108 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
109 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
110 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
111 when creating the data and control filenames, which
112 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
113 long filenames (STR #560)
114 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
115 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
116 information from being updated (STR #562)
117 - The scheduler did not send common or history data to
118 the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request
119 (STR #559)

137 compiler (STR #497)
138 - cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() did
139 not handle EAGAIN and EINTR properly (STR #473)

145 (STR #470)
146 - The Digest authentication code did not include the
147 (required) "uri" attribute in the Authorization
148 response, preventing interoperation with Apache
149 (STR #408)
150 - The web interface could lockup when displaying certain
151 URLs (STR #459)
152 - The PostScript filters now convert underscores ("_")

155
156 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
157
158 - The pstops filter didn't properly handle collated,
159 duplexed copies of documents with an odd number of
160 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
161 copies (STR #389)
162 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
163 #430)
164 - Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags
165 instead of the subtype to determine whether to print
166 an annotation (STR #425)
167 - The French web interface localization did not use
168 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
169 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and
170 LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
171 test results (STR #380)
172 - The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
173 have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
174 - The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary
175 files with tmpnam (STR #406)
176 - The HTTP code did not use a case-insensitive
177 comparison when checking for the Basic authentication
178 method (STR #407)
179 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
180 character, which is not required by the Base64
181 encoding specification (STR #407)
182 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
183 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
184 IRIX (STR #422)
185 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
186 to be consistent with the way other signals are
187 handled (STR #423)

190 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
191 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
192 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
193 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
194 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
195 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
196 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)

199
200
201 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
202
203 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
204 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
205 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
206 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
207 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
208 the error_log file (STR #337)
209 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
210 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
211 defined PageSize (STR #365)

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

3034 files.
3035 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.

3052 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3053
3054 - Documentation updates.
3055 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3056 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3057 shell and Bash.
3058 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3059 code.
3060 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3061 manufacturer in the PPD.
3062 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3063 output attributes to be set.
3064 - Added banner page support.
3065 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3066 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3067 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3068 timezone offset.
3069 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3070 file is generated).
3071 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3072 printers when they became available.
3073 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3074 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3075 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3076 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3077 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3078 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3079 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3080 (override with -f)
3081 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3082 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3083 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3084 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3085 folks.
3086 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3087 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3088 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3089 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3090 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3091 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3092 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3093 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3094 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3095 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3096 languages (still only have templates for English)
3097 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3098 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3099 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3100 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3101 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3102 needed for some sites)
3103 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3104 templates.
3105 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3106 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3107 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3108 specific printer.
3109 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3110 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3111 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3112 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3113 authentication.
3114 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3115 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3116 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3117 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3118 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3119 filter.
3120 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3121 US-ASCII.
3122 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3123 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3124 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3125 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3126 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3127 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3128 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3129 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3130 basis without environment variables.
3131 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3132
3133
3134 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3135
3136 - Documentation updates.
3137 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3138 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3139 printer.
3140 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3141 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3142 distribution.
3143 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3144 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3145 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3146 to match the IPP spec.
3147 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3148 (previously they would be ignored)
3149 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3150 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3151 machines.
3152 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3153 and printer.

3155 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3156 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3157 BrowseRelay directives.
3158 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3159 still receives information on remote printers.
3160 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3161 networks)
3162 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3163 of PPD files.
3164 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3165 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3166 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3167 close their input files.
3168
3169
3170 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3171
3172 - NEW web-based administration interface.

3188 was being used.
3189 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3190 printer.
3191 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3192 printer.
