4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc2
5
6 - Added "version" option to IPP backend to workaround
7 serious bug in Linksys's IPP implementation (STR #767)
8 - Added Spanish translation of web interface (STR #772)
9 - The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
10 when it is available (STR #752)

12 the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
13 - The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
14 messages (STR #745)
15 - Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
16 a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
17 prompts. This resolves a previous authentication
18 caching issue (STR #729, STR #743)
19 - The scheduler did not correctly throttle the browse
20 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
21 machines (STR #754)
22 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
23 setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
24 systems which used non-standard encryption settings
25 (STR #773)
26 - The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
27 11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (STR #769)
28 - "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
29 error in the man page makefiles (STR #775)

41 port other than 443 (STR #730)
42 - The scheduler could crash when processing a Limit or
43 LimitExcept directive (STR #728)

48 after the first match (STR #728)
49 - The cups-config man page was incorrectly placed in
50 section 3 (STR #728)

59 encryption setting (STR #653)
60 - The scheduler did not properly parse name-based
61 BrowseRelay directives in the cupsd.conf file (STR
62 #711)
63 - The IPP backend now supports the following options in
64 the device URI: encryption, waitjob, and waitprinter
65 (STR #699)
66 - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
67 return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
68 print in the middle of sending it (STR #715)
69 - Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
70 case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
71 queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
72 #700)
73 - cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
74 status messages in all cases, causing sporatic
75 problems with IPP printers from some vendors (STR
76 #716)
77 - The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL
78 language (STR #713)
79 - The test suite no longer generates a printcap file,

103 CUPS baseline (STR #661)
104 - The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
105 empty" (STR #660)
106 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
107 comparison when checking for group membership, which
108 caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
109 (STR #647)
110 - The scheduler did not report the addresses associated
111 with certain network errors, making troubleshooting
112 difficult (STR #648, #649)

127 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check
128 IP address values (STR #608)
129 - The httpUpdate() function could return HTTP_ERROR
130 instead of the HTTP status if the server closed the

138 (STR #577)
139 - The HTTP authentication cache was broken (STR #517)
140 - The cupstestppd utility now fails PPD files that have
141 a DefaultOption keyword for a non-existance option
142 name (STR #476)
143 - Optimized the scanning of new PPD files on scheduler
144 startup (STR #424)

150 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not reject print jobs to
151 queues that were rejecting new print jobs (STR #515)
152 - Some calls to the ctype functions did not account for
153 platforms that use a signed char type by default (STR
154 #518)
155 - The scheduler could use excess amounts of CPU if a CGI
156 program was sending data faster than the client could
157 take it (STR #595)
158 - Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
159 #484)
160 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,
161 which is outside of the range defined by RFC 1179;
162 also added a new (default) "reserve=any" option for

164 - The scheduler did not check for a valid Listen/Port
165 configuration (STR #499)
166 - The cupsPrintFiles() function did not always set the
167 last IPP error message (STR #538)

169 line if the file began with a PJL escape sequence (STR
170 #574)
171 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs status of remote
172 printers was not sent to clients via browsing or
173 polling (STR #571)
174 - Browse packets did not indicate whether a printer
175 was accepting or rejecting jobs.
176 - The web interface did not show the printer state
177 history information (STR #592)
178 - The rastertoepson filter would crash under certain
179 cirsumstances (STR #583)
180 - The USB backend did not handle serial numbers using

183 #588)
184 - The USB backend did not build on Solaris x86 (STR
185 #585)
186 - The cupsDoAuthentication() function did not use the
187 method name for Digest authentication (STR #584)
188 - The scheduler could crash if a print job could not be
189 printed and the PreserveJobHistory option was turned
190 off (STR #535)
191 - cups-lpd now logs the temporary filenames that could
192 not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
193 (STR #565)
194 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
195 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
196 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
197 when creating the data and control filenames, which
198 causes problems with older systems that can't handle
199 long filenames (STR #560)
200 - The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
201 after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
202 information from being updated (STR #562)
203 - The scheduler did not send common or history data to
204 the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request
205 (STR #559)

207 remaining response data in requests (STR #558)
208 - The scheduler could complete a job before it collected
209 the exit status from all filters and the backend (STR
210 #448)
211 - The PPD conformance tests did not catch group
212 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
213 size (STR #454)
214 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the
215 client connection on errors rather than shutting down
216 the receive end of the socket; this caused resource
217 problems on some systems (STR #434)
218 - cups-polld didn't compile on Tru64 5.1B (STR #436)
219 - "lpc stat" crashed if the device URI was empty (STR
220 #548)

222 - std:floor() cast needed on IRIX 6.5 with SGI C++
223 compiler (STR #497)
224 - cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() did
225 not handle EAGAIN and EINTR properly (STR #473)

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

276 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
277 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
278 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
279 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
280 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
281 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
282 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)

285
286
287 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
288
289 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
290 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
291 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
292 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
293 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
294 the error_log file (STR #337)
295 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
296 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
297 defined PageSize (STR #365)
298 - The IPP code did not wait for a reply indefinitely on
299 HTTP connections in "blocking" mode (STR #377)
300 - The web interfaces did not rewrite the default printer
301 URI properly (STR #299 and #369)
302 - The LPD backend passed the C and L commands in the
303 wrong order (STR #378)

307 99999 (STR #371)
308 - The Visual C++ project files did not work (STR #366)
309 - The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
310 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
311 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
312 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
313 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
314 #354)
315 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
316 cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
317 localization data (STR #354)
318 - The scheduler did not return the
319 job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
320 attributes (STR #356)
321 - The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
322 driver for Windows (STR #357)
323
324
325 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
326
327 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
328 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
329 enabled (STR #259)
330 - The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
331 were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
332 - The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
333 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
334
335
336 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
337
338 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
339 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
340 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
341 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
342 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
343 names, which caused some problems with the generated
344 URLs (STR #320)
345 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
346 option (STR #331)
347
348
349 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
350
351 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
352 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
353 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
354 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
355 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
356 arguments (STR #313)
357 - The web admin interface did not display an error
358 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
359 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
360 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
361 #292)
362
363
364 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
365
366 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
367 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
368 printers that returned status info but were not ready
369 for more print data (STR #287)
370 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
371 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
372 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
373 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
374 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
375 #289)
376 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
377 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
378 10.3 (STR #270)
379 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
380 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
381 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
382 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
383 very difficult (STR #277)
384 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
385 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
386 the filter group (STR #283)
387 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
388 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
389 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
390 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
391 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
392 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
393 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
394 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
395 language localization for a request; this caused extra
396 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
397 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
398 one language specified (STR #267)
399
400
401 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
402
403 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
404 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
405 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
406 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
407 is 64 bits (STR #262)
408 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
409 Hat (STR #253)
410 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
411 the standard constants when reporting printer status
412 bits on Linux (STR #254)
413 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
414 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
415 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
416 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
417 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
418 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
419 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
420 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
421 URI (STR #247)
422 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
423 (STR #249)
424 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
425 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
426 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
427 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
428 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
429 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
430 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
431 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
432 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
433 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
434 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
435 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
436 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
437 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
438 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
439 (STR #224)
440 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
441 9 (STR #217)
442 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
443 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
444 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
445 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
446 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
447 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
448 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
449 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
450 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
451 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
452 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
453 level (STR #212)
454 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
455 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
456 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
457 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
458 (STR #209)
459 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
460 page device attributes (STR #208)
461 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
462 the user already had specified the proper orientation
463 (STR #207)
464 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
465 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
466 #193)
467 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
468 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
469 files (STR #192)
470 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
471 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
472 programs rather than the port that the browser
473 connected to (STR #103)
474 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
475 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
476 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
477 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
478 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
479 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
480 files define the job-priority and
481 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
482 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
483 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
484 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
485 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
486 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
487 caused problems with some implementations of the
488 standard C library. (STR #159)
489 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
490 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
491 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
492 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
493 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
494 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
495 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
496 signal handlers (STR #190)
497 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
498 strings if the description string is not available
499 (STR #174)
500 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
501 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
502 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
503 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
504 group (STR #158)
505 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
506 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
507 #147)
508 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
509 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
510 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
511 - Printers with special characters in their names were
512 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
513 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
514 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
515 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
516 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
517 not blank (STR #152)
518 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
519 files did not get installed (STR #148)
520 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
521 without shared libraries (STR #149)
522 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
523 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
524 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
525 capability bit (STR #144)
526 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
527 amount of memory (STR #145)
528 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
529 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
530 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
531 #139)
532 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
533 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
534 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
535 block waiting for data (STR #132)
536 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
537 command after the PJL language escape to work around
538 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
539 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
540 value properly (STR #127)
541 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
542 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
543
544
545 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
546
547 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
548 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
549 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
550 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
551 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
552 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
553 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
554 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
555 options (STR #123)
556 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
557 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
558 #117)
559 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
560 - The configure script didn't specify the static
561 libraries properly when configuring with the
562 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
563 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
564 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
565 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
566 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
567 message (STR #94)
568 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
569
570
571 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
572
573 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
574 classes would get double banner pages for each
575 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
576 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
577 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
578 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
579 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
580 next restart (STR #82)
581 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
582 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
583 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
584 #70)
585 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
586 language preference (STR #78)
587 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
588 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
589 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
590 in banner pages (STR #77)
591 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
592 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
593 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
594 annoying error message (STR #45)
595
596
597 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
598
599 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
600 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
601 #59)
602 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
603 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
604 - The German web interface templates did not use the
605 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
606 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
607 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
608 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
609 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
610 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
611
612
613 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
614
615 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
616 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
617 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
618 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
619 user - STR #48)
620 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
621 (STR #46)
622 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
623 Gilles QUERRET)
624 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
625 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
626 was handled (STR #47)
627 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
628 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
629 interface (STR #40)
630 - The scheduler did not put the
631 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
632 attributes group.
633 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
634 defined by the IPP implementation document.
635 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
636 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
637 and #39)
638 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
639 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
640 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
641 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
642 requirements (STR #33)
643 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
644 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
645 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
646 symlinks (STR #33)
647 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
648 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
649 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
650 hardware (STR #32)
651 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
652 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
653 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
654 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
655 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
656 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
657 Jacke)
658 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
659 Bjoern Jacke)
660
661
662 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
663
664 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
665 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
666 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
667 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
668 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
669 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
670 compilers cannot be found.
671 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
672 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
673 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
674 (STR #28).
675 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
676 not work.
677 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
678 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
679 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
680 was not added to the collection value.
681 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
682 was not added to the collection value.
683 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
684 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
685 directives.
686 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
687 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
688 new configuration directives.
689 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
690 on the page (STR #18)
691 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
692 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
693 #13)
694 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
695 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
696 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
697 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
698 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
699 message files such as those used for the job history
700 in /var/spool/cups.
701
702
703 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
704
705 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
706 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
707 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
708 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
709 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
710 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
711 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
712 permissions of /dev/null...)
713 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
714 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
715 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
716 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
717 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
718 no "lp" queue) is sent.
719 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
720 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
721 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
722 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
723 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
724 retries and the time between retries.
725 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
726 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
727 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
728 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
729 your locale.
730 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
731 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
732 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
733 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
734 compressed using gzip.
735 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
736 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
737 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
738 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
739 a large number of clients connected to the system.
740 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
741 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
742 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
743 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
744 respectively) and has some additional changes to
745 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
746 when only one copy was requested.
747 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
748 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
749 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
750 - Added support for STATE: messages
751 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
752 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
753 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
754 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
755 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
756 root.
757 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
758 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
759 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
760 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
761 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
762 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
763 information.
764 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
765 field.
766 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
767 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
768 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
769 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
770 attribute to control whether job history data is
771 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
772 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
773 implementation.
774 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
775 using SLP browsing.
776 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
777 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
778 filter could be executed.
779 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
780 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
781 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
782 Kubla]
783 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
784 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
785 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
786 sent. It now only references attributes that change
787 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
788 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
789 2k.
790 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
791 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
792 signals on Solaris 8.
793 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
794 by group name as well as user name.
795 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
796 printer was available.
797 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
798 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
799 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
800 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
801 printable area of the page.
802 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
803 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
804 conformant PS files.
805 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
806 the image on the page when printing in landscape
807 orientation.
808 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
809 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
810 and ManualFeed commands.
811 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
812 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
813 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
814 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
815 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
816 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
817 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
818 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
819 list of available devices, when it should have been
820 using the default signal handler.
821 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
822 option with a NULL last string.
823 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
824 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
825 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
826 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
827 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
828 up...
829 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
830 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
831 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
832 non-blocking HTTP connections.
833 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
834 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
835 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
836 value; it is a keyword value.
837 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
838 has gone away and reports an error.
839 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
840 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
841 that support it.
842 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
843 variable under MacOS X.
844 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
845 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
846 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
847 the form "file:///path" properly.
848 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
849 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
850 use when printing binary PostScript data.
851 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
852 directive, so only the first group would be used.
853 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
854 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
855 for systems with large numbers of printers.
856 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
857 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
858 sequence.
859 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
860 the PPD file.
861 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
862 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
863 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
864 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
865 baseline donated by Apple.
866 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
867 Apple.
868 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
869 printer classes on the network.
870 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
871 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
872 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
873 option.
874 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
875 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
876 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
877 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
878 "{?time-at-creation}".
879 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
880 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
881 via IPP.
882 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
883 even if FileDevices is set to No.
884 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
885 when it should have used hstrerror().
886 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
887 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
888 means that printers that don't report their serial
889 numbers in the device ID string will not be
890 individually selectable.
891 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
892 when a page contained an embedded document.
893 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
894 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
895 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
896 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
897 the same.
898 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
899 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
900 of pages with duplexing enabled.
901 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
902 application to add less than 1 value.
903 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
904 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
905 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
906 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
907 too large for the buffer.
908 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
909 by Jeff Licquia.
910 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
911 an attribute definition.
912 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
913 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
914 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
915 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
916 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
917 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
918 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
919 situations. The warning message is now written no more
920 than once per minute.
921 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
922 PS RIPs.
923 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
924 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
925 quotas would not work.
926 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
927 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
928 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
929 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
930 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
931 program or man page files.
932
933
934 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
935
936 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
937 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
938 write a job control file.
939 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
940 directive to control whether new printers can be added
941 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
942 default is to not allow printers with these device
943 URIs.
944 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
945 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
946 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
947 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
948 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
949 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
950 non-conforming PPD file.
951 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
952 TrueType fonts.
953 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
954 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
955 attacks.
956 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
957 interface.
958 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
959 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
960 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
961 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
962 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
963 the scheduler did not close the connections
964 immediately on all platforms.
965 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
966 checks for all image formats.
967 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
968 back to its original at the end of a job; this
969 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
970 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
971 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
972 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
973 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
974 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
975 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
976 PPD files.
977 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
978 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
979 Win9x PostScript drivers.
980 - The web interface did not always report the correct
981 error message.
982 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
983 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
984 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
985 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
986 process from returning.
987
988
989 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
990
991 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
992 backend had to retry a print job.
993 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
994 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
995 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
996 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
997 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
998 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
999 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
1000 ticket data.
1001 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
1002 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
1003 after it was shutdown.
1004 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
1005 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
1006 group membership still requires the account name to be
1007 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
1008 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
1009 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
1010 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
1011 on the options that are sent in a job.
1012 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
1013 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
1014 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
1015 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
1016 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
1017 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
1018 longer treated as boolean options.
1019 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
1020 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
1021 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1022 caused by servers sending the status line and
1023 newline(s) in separate packets.
1024 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1025 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1026 empty.
1027 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1028 CUPS supports.
1029 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1030 Windows.
1031 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1032 printing of Sun Raster images.
1033 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1034 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1035 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
1036 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1037 (interrupted system call) errors.
1038 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1039 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1040 caused by the child signal handler.
1041 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1042 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1043 error.
1044 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1045 URI syntax.
1046 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1047 settings while loading a PPD file.
1048 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1049 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1050 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
1051 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1052 properly localized time string.
1053 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1054 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1055 configuring a printer or class.
1056 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1057 filters will not stop a print queue.
1058 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1059 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1060 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1061 scheduler.
1062 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1063 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1064 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1065 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1066 queues.
1067 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1068 filename.
1069 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1070 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1071 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1072 automatic form feed.
1073 - French translation updates.
1074 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1075 embedding it in PostScript output.
1076 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1077 MacOS X.
1078 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1079 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1080 has been removed.
1081
1082
1083 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1084
1085 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1086 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1087 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1088 printer.
1089 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1090 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
1091 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1092 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1093 interface might not work.
1094 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1095 you can display completed jobs as well as
1096 not-completed (pending) jobs.
1097 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1098 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1099 not be printed.
1100 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1101 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1102 occurs.
1103 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1104 stopped remote printer.
1105 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1106 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1107 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1108 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1109 the page number.
1110 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1111 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
1112 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
1113 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1114 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1115 banner pages.
1116 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1117 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1118 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1119 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
1120 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1121 reliably.
1122 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1123 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1124 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1125 using more than one USB printer.
1126 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1127 connection when sending an error that requires the
1128 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1129 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1130 encryption enabled.
1131 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1132 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1133 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1134 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
1135 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1136 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1137 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1138 implement the LPD protocol properly...
1139 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1140 PostScript or image filters.
1141 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1142 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
1143 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1144 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
1145 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1146 when modifying an active printer.
1147 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1148 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1149 defines a circular filter rule.
1150 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1151 requirements comment in some cases.
1152 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1153 files.
1154 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1155 better handle printing EPS files.
1156 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1157 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1158 compatibility).
1159 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
1160 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1161 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1162 number of copies that a user can request.
1163 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1164 others and when it forked processes.
1165 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1166 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1167 shutdown.
1168 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1169 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1170 init script functions, if available.
1171 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1172 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1173 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1174 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
1175 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1176 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1177 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
1178 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1179 printer" status of the printer.
1180 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1181 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1182 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1183 a bad or missing temporary directory.
1184 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1185 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1186 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
1187 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1188 connect to the remote server name in a
1189 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1190 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1191 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1192 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
1193 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1194 the program would try to print the option letter that
1195 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1196 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
1197 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1198 attributes from printer options in
1199 cupsEncodeOptions().
1200 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1201 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
1202 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
1203 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1204 devices under *BSD.
1205 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1206 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1207 characters.
1208 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1209 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1210 the language mode.
1211 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1212 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1213 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1214 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1215 all of the CUPS API functions.
1216 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
1217 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1218 files when configuring a printer.
1219 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1220 printer state before stopping the current job.
1221 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1222 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1223 driver.
1224 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1225 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1226 that printer is available.
1227 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1228 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1229 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1230 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1231 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1232 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
1233 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1234 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1235 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1236 username:password field of a URI.
1237 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1238 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1239 to accept connections.
1240 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1241 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1242 and current directory.
1243 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1244 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1245 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1246 for existing jobs.
1247 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1248 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1249 actually provided.
1250 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
1251 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1252 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
1253 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1254 that do not have a PPD file to export.
1255 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1256 case-insensitive.
1257 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1258 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
1259 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1260 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1261 Solaris.
1262 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1263 printing banner pages.
1264 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1265 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1266 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1267 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1268 a bug in the filter validation code.
1269 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1270 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1271 file.
1272 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1273 description from member printers.
1274 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1275 hostnames that started with a number.
1276 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1277 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1278 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1279 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1280 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1281 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1282 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1283 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1284 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1285 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1286 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1287 up...
1288 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1289 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1290 authentication didn't work for administration
1291 operations.
1292 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1293 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1294 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1295 interface to "localhost".
1296 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1297 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1298 only return textual data.
1299
1300
1301 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1302
1303 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1304 string function header, which is required on systems
1305 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1306 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1307 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1308 have to.
1309
1310
1311 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1312
1313 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1314 license exception.
1315 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1316 name if no value has been set.
1317 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1318 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1319 correct tray.
1320 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1321 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1322 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1323 options.
1324 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1325 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1326 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1327 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1328 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1329 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1330 queues) on the server.
1331 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1332 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1333 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1334 - New SCSI printer backend.
1335 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1336 set definitions.
1337 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1338 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1339 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1340 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1341 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1342 - Added French translation of man pages.
1343 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1344 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1345 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1346 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1347 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1348 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1349 comes from...
1350 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1351 output, as well as new page-border and
1352 number-up-layout options.
1353 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1354 using the default printer.
1355 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1356 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1357 to allow for longer printer names.
1358 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1359 history data.
1360 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1361 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1362 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1363 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1364 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1365 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1366 caused problems on some installations that would
1367 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1368 level 3.
1369 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1370 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1371 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1372 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1373 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1374 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1375 destination printer or class.
1376 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1377 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1378 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1379 (cupsd).
1380 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1381 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1382 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1383 Keep-Alive like they should.
1384 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1385 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1386 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1387 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1388 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1389 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1390 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1391 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1392 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1393 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1394 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1395 of glyphs.
1396 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1397 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1398 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1399 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1400 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1401 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1402 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1403 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1404 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1405 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1406 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1407 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1408 the proper IPP language code.
1409 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1410 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1411 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1412 classes.
1413 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1414 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1415 did not reflect the correct port number.
1416 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1417 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1418 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1419 control and browsing based on the current interface
1420 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1421 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1422 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1423 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1424 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1425 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1426 group.
1427 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1428 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1429 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1430 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1431 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1432 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1433 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1434 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1435 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1436 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1437 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1438 the correct LANG string.
1439 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1440 and SAMBA server names.
1441 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1442 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1443 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1444 generated dependencies.
1445 - Build fixes for OS X.
1446 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1447 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1448 the loader.
1449 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1450 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1451 the prefix "JCL".
1452 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1453 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1454 while the next page is being processed.
1455 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1456 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1457 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1458 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1459 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1460 printers and classes all at once.
1461 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1462 the Linux PPC port.
1463 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1464 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1465 value.
1466 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1467 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1468 other options as strings.
1469 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1470 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1471 that don't end with a newline.
1472 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1473 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1474 option.
1475 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1476 integers and ranges.
1477 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1478 language support for CUPS.
1479
1480
1481 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1482
1483 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1484 attribute name length or string with language value
1485 was not larger than the read buffer.
1486 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1487 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1488 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1489 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1490 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1491 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1492 - MacOS X fixes.
1493 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1494 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1495 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1496 2.2.x.
1497 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1498 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1499 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1500 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1501 require it.
1502
1503
1504 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1505
1506 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1507 regular printer classes.
1508 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1509 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1510 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1511 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1512 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1513 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1514 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1515 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1516 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1517 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1518 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1519 *.convs files.
1520 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1521 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1522 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1523 goes away.
1524 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1525 whitespace after quoted values.
1526 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1527 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1528 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1529 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1530 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1531 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1532 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1533 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1534 match the page orientation.
1535 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1536 connections to improve performance/response time.
1537 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1538 from Andrea Suatoni.
1539 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1540 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1541 tools support.
1542 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1543 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1544 existed.
1545 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1546 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1547 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1548 page-set option.
1549 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1550 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1551 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1552 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1553 etc.)
1554 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1555 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1556 listing for a printer.
1557 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1558 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1559 make third-party tools happy.
1560 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1561 values.
1562 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1563 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1564 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1565 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1566 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1567 files.
1568 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1569 2 element array.
1570 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1571 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1572 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1573 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1574 the password and nonce strings.
1575 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1576 "%%BeginData:".
1577 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1578 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1579 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1580 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1581 classification level, if set. This way the original
1582 banner settings are preserved when classification
1583 levels are changed or turned off.
1584 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1585 did it restore the original settings.
1586 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1587 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1588 system default group was not used.
1589 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1590 send multiple control files.
1591 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1592 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1593 for the "https" scheme.
1594 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1595 from the web interface for accounts other than
1596 "root".
1597 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1598 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1599 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1600 address properly.
1601 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1602 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1603 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1604 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1605 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1606 information under Linux.
1607 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1608 option (if present) in PPD files.
1609 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1610 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1611 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1612 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1613 the lppasswd command.
1614 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1615 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1616 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1617 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1618 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1619 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1620 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1621 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1622 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1623 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1624 restarting cupsd.
1625 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1626 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1627 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1628 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1629 for commands on the standard input.
1630 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1631 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1632 pointer platforms...
1633
1634
1635 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1636
1637 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1638 files.
1639 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1640 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1641 destination type for the new destination.
1642 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1643 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1644 printer ACLs.
1645 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1646 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1647 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1648 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1649 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1650
1651
1652 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1653
1654 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1655 files.
1656 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1657 files.
1658 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1659 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1660 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1661 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1662 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1663 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1664 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1665 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1666 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1667 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1668 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1669 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1670 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1671 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1672 options exceeded 100...]
1673 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1674 was set to "No".
1675 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1676 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1677 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1678 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1679 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1680 faster.
1681 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1682 support properly support the "-h" or default
1683 server name.
1684 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1685 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1686 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1687 support printer instances.
1688 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1689 underline formatting.
1690 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1691 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1692 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1693 (-1).
1694 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1695 from printing to printers in that class.
1696 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1697 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1698 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1699 slower systems since more information had to be
1700 transferred from server to client.
1701 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1702 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1703 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1704 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1705 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1706 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1707 processing.
1708 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1709 to stderr instead of stdout...
1710 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1711 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1712 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1713 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1714 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1715 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1716 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1717 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1718 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1719 the Spanish banner files.
1720 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1721 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1722 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1723 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1724 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1725 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1726 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1727 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1728 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1729 information when printing via LPD.
1730 - Added many warning and informational messages
1731 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1732 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1733 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1734 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1735 provided.
1736 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1737 cupsd.conf.
1738 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1739 32k.
1740 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1741 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1742 possible.
1743 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1744 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1745 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1746 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1747 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1748 long values.
1749 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1750 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1751 to CGIs.
1752 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1753 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1754 time.
1755 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1756 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1757 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1758 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1759 result in a blank page being output...
1760 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1761 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1762 page comments when printing files directly...)
1763 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1764 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1765 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1766 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1767 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1768 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1769 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1770 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1771 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1772 original destination.
1773 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1774 requested-attributes attribute in the
1775 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1776 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1777 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1778 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1779 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1780 prints.
1781
1782
1783 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1784
1785 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1786 makefiles to install files properly.
1787
1788
1789 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1790
1791 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1792 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1793 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1794 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1795 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1796 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1797 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1798 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1799 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1800 server.
1801 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1802 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1803 with some types of flow control.
1804 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1805 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1806 server.
1807 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1808 lines in the configuration files.
1809 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1810 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1811 from the server.
1812 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1813 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1814 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1815 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1816 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1817 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1818 script. Previously the job's document format was
1819 used, which was incorrect.
1820 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1821 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1822 "raw" model from the command-line.
1823 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1824 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1825 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1826 printers.
1827 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1828 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1829 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1830 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1831 which caused some confusion... :)
1832 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1833 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1834
1835
1836 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1837
1838 - The configure script did not substitute the
1839 correct user and group names.
1840 - The configure script did not use the full path
1841 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1842 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1843 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1844 duplexing.
1845 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1846 distribution.
1847 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1848 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1849 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1850 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1851 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1852 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1853 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1854 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1855 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1856 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1857 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1858 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1859
1860
1861 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1862
1863 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1864 approach for the various tests.
1865 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1866 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1867 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1868 options to specify the default user and group for
1869 CUPS.
1870 - Added AIX shared library support.
1871 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1872 parallel ports.
1873 - Now use install program or script to install
1874 directories, files, and symlinks.
1875 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1876 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1877 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1878 print.
1879 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1880 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1881 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1882 64-bit boundary.
1883 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1884 skip the Digest keyword.
1885 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1886 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1887 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1888 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1889 authentication from passwd.md5.
1890 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1891 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1892 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1893 PPD files should start much faster now.
1894 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1895 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1896 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1897 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1898 times.
1899 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1900 code if an error occurred.
1901 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1902 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1903 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1904 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1905 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1906 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1907 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1908 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1909 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1910 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1911 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1912 copies would come out instead of N.
1913 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1914 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1915 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1916 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1917 output an even number of pages.
1918 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1919 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1920 from being cancelled early.
1921 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1922 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1923 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1924 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1925 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1926 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1927 "ESC i" graphics command.
1928 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1929 printers to a local class.
1930 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1931 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1932 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1933 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1934 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1935 printers that were part of a class.
1936 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1937 printer more than once.
1938 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1939 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1940 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1941 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1942 account.
1943 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1944 against a location of "/printers/name".
1945 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1946 upgrades properly.
1947 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1948 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1949 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1950 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1951 when using Digest authentication.
1952 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1953 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1954 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1955 file.
1956 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1957 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1958 server.
1959 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1960 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1961 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1962 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1963 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1964 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1965 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1966 not the empty string.
1967 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1968 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1969 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1970 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1971 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1972 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1973 supported file types into the
1974 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1975 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1976 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1977 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1978 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1979 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1980 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1981 or behave irratically.
1982 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1983 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1984 specified.
1985 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1986 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1987 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1988 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1989 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1990 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1991 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1992 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1993 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1994 location or description of the printer.
1995 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1996 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1997 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1998 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1999 multiple groups.
2000 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
2001 Apache.
2002 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
2003 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
2004 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
2005 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
2006 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
2007 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
2008 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
2009 the page-ranges option from working properly.
2010 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
2011 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
2012 Ghostscript code.
2013 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
2014 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
2015 size instead of percent of page size.)
2016 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
2017 instead of root.
2018 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
2019 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
2020 size options.
2021 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2022 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2023 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2024 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2025 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2026 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2027 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2028 character.

2030
2031 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2032
2033 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2034 package for pstoraster.
2035 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2036 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2037 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2038 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2039 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2040 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2041 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2042 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2043 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2044 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2045 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2046 history disabled.
2047 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2048 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2049 connections initially.
2050 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2051 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2052 throughout.
2053 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2054 Richard Begg.)
2055 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2056 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2057 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2058 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2059 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2060 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2061 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2062 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2063 #54489...
2064 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2065 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2066 (only affects page-label and Classification
2067 options.)
2068 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2069 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2070
2071
2072 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2073
2074 - Configuration script changes, including new
2075 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2076 documentation and web content according to your
2077 favorite version of the FHS.
2078 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2079 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2080 test CUPS prior to installation.
2081 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2082 insensitive to match Apache.
2083 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2084 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
2085 directives.
2086 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2087 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2088 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2089 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2090 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2091 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2092 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2093 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2094 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2095 formats are supported at present.)
2096 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2097 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2098 all browsing off.
2099 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2100 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2101 document.
2102 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2103 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2104 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2105 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2106 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2107 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2108 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2109 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2110 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2111 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2112 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2113 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2114 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2115 server.
2116 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2117 PJL commands from PPD files.
2118 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2119 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2120 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2121 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2122 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2123 the next/current job in the queue.
2124 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2125 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2126 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2127 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2128 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2129 for Sun Raster images.
2130 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2131 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2132 function.
2133 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2134 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2135 command when printing to USB devices.
2136 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2137 the cupsd.conf file.
2138 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2139 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2140 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2141 /dev/urandom.
2142 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2143 httpGetSubField().
2144 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2145 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2146 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2147 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2148 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2149 CGI was currently running.
2150 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2151 option=true or option=false.
2152 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2153 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2154 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2155 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2156 could cause it to crash.
2157 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2158 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2159 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2160 attribute when altering a job.
2161 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2162 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2163 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2164 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2165 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2166 addresses.
2167 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2168 the current classification on each page.
2169 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2170 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2171 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2172 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2173 encryption.
2174 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2175 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2176 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2177 support instances.
2178 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2179 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2180 and should never be used in a production environment.
2181 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2182 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2183 interface.
2184 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2185 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2186 prevent caching of the results.
2187 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2188 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2189 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2190 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2191 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2192 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2193 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2194 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2195 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2196 submitted by a user.
2197 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2198 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2199 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2200 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2201 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2202 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2203 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2204 embedded spaces.
2205 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2206 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2207 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2208 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2209 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2210 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2211 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2212 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2213 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2214 by the GIMP.
2215 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2216 bypassed the authentication checks.
2217 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2218 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2219 a race condition between the client and server for the
2220 upgrade to TLS.
2221 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2222 the pstops filter.
2223 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2224 the custom page size in the raster header.
2225 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2226 size to the size of the printed image.
2227 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2228 which are required by some printers.
2229 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2230 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2231 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2232 DSC).
2233 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2234 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2235 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2236 driver.
2237 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2238 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2239 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2240 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2241 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2242 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2243 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2244 address this problem.
2245 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2246 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2247 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2248 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2249 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2250 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2251 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2252 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2253 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2254 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2255 to manage print jobs.
2256 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2257 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2258 of 0 length.
2259 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2260 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2261 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2262
2263
2264 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2265
2266 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2267 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2268 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2269 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2270 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2271 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2272 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2273 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2274 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2275 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2276 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2277 /dev/ulptN.
2278 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2279 classes it was a member of.
2280 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2281 implicit status of a class.
2282 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2283 from implicit classes.
2284 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2285 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2286 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2287 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2288 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2289 of the scheduler.
2290 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2291 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2292 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2293 the /#copies variable anymore.
2294 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2295 option.
2296 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2297 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2298 for a bad-request error)
2299 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2300 unimplemented, not invalid.
2301 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2302 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2303 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2304 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2305 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2306 (pstoraster).
2307 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2308 which are not used.
2309 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2310 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2311 cgi_initialize_string().
2312 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2313 ippSetCGIVars()
2314 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2315 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2316 leaks.
2317 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2318 fails.
2319 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2320 setuid() calls.
2321 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2322 calls.
2323 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2324 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2325 bad input.
2326 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2327 missing hex digits.
2328
2329
2330 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2331
2332 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2333 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2334 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2335 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2336 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2337 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2338 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2339 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2340 corruption on many printers)
2341 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2342 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2343 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2344 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2345 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2346 requests.
2347 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2348 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2349 was lost.
2350 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2351 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2352 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2353 to be used for a socket.
2354 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2355 a set were numeric or string types.
2356 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2357 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2358 reading *.conf files.
2359 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2360 same logic as GET requests.
2361 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2362 /index.html to requested directory name.
2363 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2364 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2365 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2366 instead of mode 0600.
2367 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2368 instead of 0600.
2369 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2370 system name in log filenames.
2371 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2372 and hex strings.
2373
2374
2375 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2376
2377 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2378 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2379 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2380
2381
2382 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2383
2384 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2385 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2386 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2387 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2388 filter programs properly.
2389 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2390 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2391 versions of GCC.
2392 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2393 cancelled in StartJob().
2394 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2395 written with restricted permissions.
2396 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2397 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2398 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2399 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2400 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2401 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2402 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2403 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2404 syslog file.
2405 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2406 and only specifies the document format if it is
2407 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2408 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2409 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2410 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2411 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2412 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2413 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2414 cancelled.
2415 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2416 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2417 sporatic web interface problems.
2418 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2419 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2420 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2421 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2422 whitespace.
2423 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2424 instead of an integer.
2425 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2426 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2427 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2428 and user-level access control.
2429 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2430 encryption.
2431 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2432 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2433 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2434 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2435 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2436 to the man page.
2437 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2438 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2439 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2440 queued for a printer.
2441 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2442 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2443 reporting.
2444
2445
2446 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2447
2448 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2449 code.
2450 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2451 check in backend/serial.c.
2452 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2453 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2454 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2455 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2456 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2457 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2458 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2459 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2460 anyways)
2461
2462
2463 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2464
2465 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2466 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2467 for run level 5.
2468 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2469 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2470 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2471 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2472 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2473 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2474 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2475
2476
2477 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2478
2479 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2480 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2481 access from the local system.
2482 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2483 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2484 - Documentation updates.
2485 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2486 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2487 RedHat or Mandrake.
2488 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2489 warnings.
2490 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2491 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2492 hex)
2493 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2494 crash the server.
2495 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2496 correct value length for name-with-language and
2497 text-with-language attributes.
2498 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2499 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2500 efficient IPP server performance.
2501 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2502 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2503 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2504 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2505 attack.
2506 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2507 data required when getting the list of printer or
2508 class information. This should improve performance
2509 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2510 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2511 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2512 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2513 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2514 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2515 override the lpoptions default printer.
2516 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2517 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2518 attributes.
2519 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2520 did not check for the correct value for collated
2521 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2522 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2523 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2524 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2525 scale mode 2.
2526 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2527 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2528 that started with a number.
2529 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2530 multiple times in name-with-language and
2531 text-with-language attributes.
2532 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2533 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2534 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2535 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2536 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2537 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2538 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2539 close the spool directory.
2540 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2541 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2542 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2543 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2544 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2545 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2546 larger than the source string; this protects
2547 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2548 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2549 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2550 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2551 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2552 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2553 remote printers.
2554 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2555 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2556 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2557 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2558 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2559 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2560 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2561 3-argument contains() function.
2562 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2563 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2564 database containing 0 printers.
2565 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2566 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2567 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2568 printer was always busy.
2569 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2570 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2571 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2572 jobs.
2573 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2574 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2575 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2576 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2577 57600 and 115200 baud.
2578 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2579 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2580 option in the device URI.
2581 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2582 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2583 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2584 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2585 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2586 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2587 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2588 job attributes to be changed.
2589 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2590 web interface.
2591 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2592 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2593 since they do not map)
2594 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2595 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2596 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2597 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2598 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2599 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2600 child signals while loading devices.
2601 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2602 and classes.
2603 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2604 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2605 driver dithering code.
2606 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2607 after the first active printer.
2608 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2609 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2610 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2611 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2612 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2613 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2614 accepted null values.
2615 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2616 of the backends.
2617 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2618 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2619 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2620 is set in the plot file.
2621 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2622 user name, causing it to always fail.
2623 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2624 under Windows.
2625 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2626 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2627 didn't handle control file job information in any
2628 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2629 a file.
2630 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2631 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2632 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2633 printing on some systems.
2634 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2635 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2636 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2637 it.
2638
2639
2640 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2641
2642 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2643 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2644 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2645 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2646 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2647 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2648 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2649 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2650 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2651 order, which prevented remote printing.
2652 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2653 IPP requests and language information when closing
2654 a client connection.
2655 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2656 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2657 compatibles)
2658 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2659 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2660 on many OS's.
2661 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2662 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2663 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2664 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2665 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2666 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2667 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2668 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2669 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2670 PPD files.
2671 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2672 when the destination printer supported it. This
2673 caused problems when printing text files to other
2674 CUPS servers.
2675 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2676 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2677 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2678 the dates.)
2679 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2680 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2681 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2682 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2683 be clipped.
2684
2685
2686 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2687
2688 - Makefile fixes.
2689 - RPM spec file changes.
2690 - Documentation updates.
2691 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2692 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2693 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2694 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2695 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2696 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2697 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2698 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2699 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2700 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2701 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2702 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2703 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2704 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2705 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2706 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2707 specified.
2708 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2709 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2710 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2711 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2712 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2713 cupsd.conf.
2714 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2715 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2716 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2717 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2718 filter mode 'l'.
2719 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2720 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2721 defaults for all print queues.
2722 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2723 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2724 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2725 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2726 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2727 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2728 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2729 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2730 printer was defined with the same name.
2731 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2732 remove options for a printer or instance.
2733 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2734 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2735 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2736 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2737 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2738 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2739 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2740 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2741 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2742 job-printer-uri attribute.
2743 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2744 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2745 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2746 remote printers.
2747 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2748 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2749 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2750 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2751 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2752 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2753 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2754 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2755 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2756 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2757 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2758 printer set using lpoptions.
2759 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2760 list the printer-specific options and their current
2761 settings.
2762 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2763 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2764 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2765 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2766 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2767 text printing.
2768 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2769 instances.
2770 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2771 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2772 limit.
2773 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2774 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2775 new client connections.
2776 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2777 required pagedevice parameters.
2778 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2779 under Linux.
2780 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2781 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2782 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2783 would stop processing.
2784 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2785 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2786 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2787 that was currently printing a job.
2788 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2789 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2790 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2791 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2792 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2793 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2794 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2795 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2796 option values separated by commas.
2797 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2798 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2799 and free bytes once a minute)
2800 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2801 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2802 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2803 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2804 printers.
2805 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2806 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2807 requests from that address to the server name.
2808 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2809 server.domain.com to localhost.
2810 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2811 the previous device and driver settings (except
2812 for serial ports.)
2813 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2814 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2815 after a job is completed when job file history is
2816 turned off.
2817 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2818 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2819 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2820 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2821 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2822 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2823 for "lpstat -v" output.
2824 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2825 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2826 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2827 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2828 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2829 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2830 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2831 by itself without quoting.
2832
2833
2834 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2835
2836 - Makefile/configure fixes
2837 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2838 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2839 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2840 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2841 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2842 number generator for certificates.
2843 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2844 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2845 the filter user, typically "lp".
2846 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2847 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2848 user.
2849 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2850 function.
2851 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2852 standard input.
2853 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2854 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2855 page header as needed.
2856 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2857 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2858 immediately when last-document was true.
2859 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2860 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2861 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2862 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2863 and many PS printers.
2864 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2865 filters.
2866 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2867 debugging problems.
2868 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2869 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2870 calling problem...)
2871 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2872 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2873 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2874 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2875 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2876 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2877 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2878 by default.
2879 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2880 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2881 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2882 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2883 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2884 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2885 CUPS software.
2886
2887
2888 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2889
2890 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2891 old PDF filter files.
2892 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2893 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2894 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2895 network devices.
2896 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2897 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2898 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2899 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2900 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2901 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2902 is defined otherwise.
2903 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2904 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2905 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2906 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2907 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2908 0-length PPD file was read.
2909 - The image filters were not handling images with
2910 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2911 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2912 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2913 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2914 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2915 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2916 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2917 documents if they don't have it.
2918 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2919 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2920 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2921 --prefix was specified.
2922 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2923 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2924 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2925 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2926 color mode until it can be fixed.
2927 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2928 correctly in all cases.
2929 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2930 time in banner files.
2931
2932
2933 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2934
2935 - Documentation updates.
2936 - Configuration script updates.
2937 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2938 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2939 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2940 ppd_file_t structure.
2941 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2942 before it was used.
2943 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2944 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2945 the localhost address.
2946 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2947 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2948 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2949 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2950 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2951 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2952 PDF support.
2953 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2954 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2955 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2956 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2957 pstoraster.
2958 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2959 the user.
2960 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2961 not running.
2962 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2963 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2964 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2965 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2966 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2967 setpagedevice operator.
2968 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2969 the default banner pages.
2970 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2971 "position" option.
2972 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2973 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2974 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2975 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2976 "printer@server") when possible.
2977 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2978 with no PageSize attributes.
2979 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2980 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2981 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2982 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2983 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2984 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2985 cupsd.
2986 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2987 locations.
2988 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2989 variables to specify installation directories as
2990 needed.
2991 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2992 when the scheduler is started.
2993 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2994 printer.
2995 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2996 printer are automatically deleted.
2997 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2998 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2999 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3000 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3001 request.
3002 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3003 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3004 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3005 is "no-hold".
3006 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3007 responses.
3008 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3009 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3010 printer.
3011 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3012 request fails.
3013 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3014 printer and class names.
3015 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3016 received in a POST request.
3017
3018
3019 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3020
3021 - Documentation updates.
3022 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3023 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3024 method.
3025 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3026 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3027 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3028 - Missing the job-restart template.
3029 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3030 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3031 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3032 not specified.
3033 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3034 from getting through.
3035 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3036 stderr.
3037 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3038 job name and display string, if supported.
3039 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3040 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3041 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3042 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3043 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3044 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3045 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3046 UTF-8...
3047 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3048 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3049 could cause cupsd to crash.
3050 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3051 crash.
3052 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3053 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3054 "HH:MM:SS".
3055 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3056 connection structure.
3057 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3058 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3059 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3060 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3061 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3062 is a potential security hole.
3063 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3064 new pstoraster.
3065 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3066 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3067 (/dev/usblp#)
3068 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3069 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3070 release.

3073 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3074
3075 - Documentation updates.
3076 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3077 now compile better under *BSD.)
3078 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3079 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3080 tray was selected.
3081 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3082 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3083 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3084 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3085 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3086 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3087 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3088 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3089 can handle.
3090 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3091 cause cupsd to crash.
3092 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3093 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3094 mime.types file.
3095 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3096 of file to be used as a banner.
3097 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3098 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3099 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3100 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3101 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3102 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3103 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3104 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3105 the IANA registrations.
3106 - New PostScript banner pages.
3107 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3108 filter.
3109 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3110 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3111 code.
3112 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3113 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3114 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3115 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3116 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3117 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3118 accurate width specification.
3119 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3120 files.
3121 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3122 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3123 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3124 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3125 that support it.
3126 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3127 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3128 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3129 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3130 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3131 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3132 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3133 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3134 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3135 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3136
3137
3138 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3139
3140 - Documentation updates.
3141 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3142 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3143 shell and Bash.
3144 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3145 code.
3146 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3147 manufacturer in the PPD.
3148 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3149 output attributes to be set.
3150 - Added banner page support.
3151 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3152 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3153 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3154 timezone offset.
3155 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3156 file is generated).
3157 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3158 printers when they became available.
3159 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3160 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3161 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3162 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3163 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3164 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3165 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3166 (override with -f)
3167 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3168 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3169 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3170 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3171 folks.
3172 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3173 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3174 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3175 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3176 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3177 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3178 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3179 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3180 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3181 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3182 languages (still only have templates for English)
3183 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3184 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3185 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3186 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3187 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3188 needed for some sites)
3189 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3190 templates.
3191 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3192 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3193 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3194 specific printer.
3195 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3196 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3197 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3198 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3199 authentication.
3200 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3201 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3202 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3203 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3204 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3205 filter.
3206 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3207 US-ASCII.
3208 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3209 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3210 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3211 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3212 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3213 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3214 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3215 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3216 basis without environment variables.
3217 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3218
3219
3220 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3221
3222 - Documentation updates.
3223 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3224 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3225 printer.
3226 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3227 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3228 distribution.
3229 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3230 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3231 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3232 to match the IPP spec.
3233 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3234 (previously they would be ignored)
3235 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3236 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3237 machines.
3238 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3239 and printer.
3240 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3241 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3242 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3243 BrowseRelay directives.
3244 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3245 still receives information on remote printers.
3246 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3247 networks)
3248 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3249 of PPD files.
3250 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3251 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3252 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3253 close their input files.
3254
3255
3256 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3257
3258 - NEW web-based administration interface.
3259 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
3260 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
3261 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
3262 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
3263 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3264 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3265 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3266 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3267 administration.
3268 - NEW USB backend.
3269 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3270 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3271 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3272 print queue problems that have been reported.
3273 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3274 was being used.
3275 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3276 printer.
3277 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3278 printer.
