4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
5
6 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
7 license exception.
8 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
9 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
10 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
11 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
12 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
13 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
14 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
15 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
16 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
17 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
18 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
19 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
20 the proper IPP language code.
21 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
22 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
23 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
24 classes.
25 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
26 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
27 did not reflect the correct port number.
28 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
29 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
30 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
31 control and browsing based on the current interface
32 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
33 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
34 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
35 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
36 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
37 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
38 group.
39 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
40 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
41 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
42 detects that the printer is not connected to the
43 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
44 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
45 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
46 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
47 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
48 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
49 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
50 the correct LANG string.
51 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
52 and SAMBA server names.
53 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
54 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
55 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
56 generated dependencies.
57 - Build fixes for OS X.
58 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
59 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
60 the loader.
61 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
62 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
63 the prefix "JCL".
64 - The backends now read print data using the read()
65 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
66 while the next page is being processed.
67 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
68 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
69 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
70 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
71 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
72 printers and classes all at once.
73 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
74 the Linux PPC port.
75 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
76 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
77 value.
78 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
79 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
80 other options as strings.
81 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
82 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
83 that don't end with a newline.
84 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
85 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
86 option.
87 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
88 integers and ranges.
89 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
90 language support for CUPS.
91
92
93 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
94
95 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
96 attribute name length or string with language value
97 was not larger than the read buffer.
98 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
99 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
100 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
101 - Added Swedish message catalog.
102 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
103 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
104 - MacOS X fixes.
105 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
106 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
107 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
108 2.2.x.
109 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
110 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
111 it from waiting for the job to complete when
112 communicating with some IPP implementations that
113 require it.
114
115
116 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
117
118 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
119 regular printer classes.
120 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
121 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
122 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
123 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
124 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
125 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
126 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
127 and added several Russian message catalogs.
128 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
129 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
130 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
131 *.convs files.
132 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
133 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
134 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
135 goes away.
136 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
137 whitespace after quoted values.
138 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
139 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
140 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
141 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
142 portion of the printer name, and since it would
143 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
144 the local server, the printer would not be found.
145 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
146 match the page orientation.
147 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
148 connections to improve performance/response time.
149 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
150 from Andrea Suatoni.
151 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
152 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
153 tools support.
154 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
155 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
156 existed.
157 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
158 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
159 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
160 page-set option.
161 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
162 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
163 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
164 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
165 etc.)
166 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
167 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
168 listing for a printer.
169 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
170 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
171 make third-party tools happy.
172 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
173 values.
174 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
175 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
176 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
177 - Updated the Italian message translations.
178 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
179 files.
180 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
181 2 element array.
182 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
183 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
184 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
185 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
186 the password and nonce strings.
187 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
188 "%%BeginData:".
189 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
190 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
191 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
192 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
193 classification level, if set. This way the original
194 banner settings are preserved when classification
195 levels are changed or turned off.
196 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
197 did it restore the original settings.
198 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
199 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
200 system default group was not used.
201 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
202 send multiple control files.
203 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
204 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
205 for the "https" scheme.
206 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
207 from the web interface for accounts other than
208 "root".
209 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
210 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
211 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
212 address properly.
213 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
214 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
215 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
216 inside a Location, which is not valid.
217 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
218 information under Linux.
219 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
220 option (if present) in PPD files.
221 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
222 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
223 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
224 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
225 the lppasswd command.
226 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
227 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
228 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
229 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
230 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
231 directory and configuration files are owned by and
232 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
233 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
234 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
235 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
236 restarting cupsd.
237 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
238 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
239 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
240 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
241 for commands on the standard input.
242 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
243 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
244 pointer platforms...
245 - The cups-config script reported the wrong version
246 number.
247 - The cups-config script was installed in $(bindir)
248 instead of $(BINDIR).
249 - The init script did not correctly check for a running
250 cupsd under IRIX 5.x.
251
252
253 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
254
255 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
256 files.
257 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
258 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
259 destination type for the new destination.
260 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
261 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
262 printer ACLs.
263 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
264 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
265 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
266 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
267 printer-make-and-model attribute.
268
269
270 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
271
272 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
273 files.
274 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
275 files.
276 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
277 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
278 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
279 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
280 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
281 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
282 the device list (lpinfo -m).
283 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
284 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
285 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
286 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
287 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
288 increment. [this caused some versions of the
289 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
290 options exceeded 100...]
291 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
292 was set to "No".
293 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
294 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
295 infinite loop when accepting a request.
296 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
297 functions to make IPP request/response processing
298 faster.
299 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
300 support properly support the "-h" or default
301 server name.
302 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
303 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
304 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
305 support printer instances.
306 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
307 underline formatting.
308 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
309 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
310 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
311 (-1).
312 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
313 from printing to printers in that class.
314 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
315 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
316 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
317 slower systems since more information had to be
318 transferred from server to client.
319 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
320 things like the job title. This had the potential for
321 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
322 machine); bug report from SuSE.
323 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
324 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
325 processing.
326 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
327 to stderr instead of stdout...
328 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
329 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
330 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
331 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
332 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
333 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
334 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
335 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
336 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
337 the Spanish banner files.
338 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
339 language abbreviation to use for all supported
340 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
341 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
342 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
343 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
344 anonymous printing (no username specified).
345 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
346 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
347 information when printing via LPD.
348 - Added many warning and informational messages
349 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
350 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
351 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
352 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
353 provided.
354 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
355 cupsd.conf.
356 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
357 32k.
358 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
359 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
360 possible.
361 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
362 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
363 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
364 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
365 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
366 long values.
367 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
368 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
369 to CGIs.
370 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
371 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
372 time.
373 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
374 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
375 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
376 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
377 result in a blank page being output...
378 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
379 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
380 page comments when printing files directly...)
381 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
382 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
383 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
384 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
385 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
386 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
387 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
388 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
389 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
390 original destination.
391 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
392 requested-attributes attribute in the
393 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
394 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
395 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
396 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
397 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
398 prints.
399
400
401 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
402
403 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
404 makefiles to install files properly.
405
406
407 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
408
409 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
410 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
411 to override the classification of individual jobs.
412 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
413 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
414 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
415 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
416 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
417 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
418 server.
419 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
420 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
421 with some types of flow control.
422 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
423 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
424 server.
425 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
426 lines in the configuration files.
427 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
428 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
429 from the server.
430 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
431 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
432 to the file: pseudo-backend.
433 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
434 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
435 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
436 script. Previously the job's document format was
437 used, which was incorrect.
438 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
439 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
440 "raw" model from the command-line.
441 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
442 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
443 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
444 printers.
445 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
446 Chinese text support compiled into it.
447 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
448 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
449 which caused some confusion... :)
450 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
451 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
452
453
454 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
455
456 - The configure script did not substitute the
457 correct user and group names.
458 - The configure script did not use the full path
459 to the install-sh script when it was used.
460 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
461 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
462 duplexing.
463 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
464 distribution.
465 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
466 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
467 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
468 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
469 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
470 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
471 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
472 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
473 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
474 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
475 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
476 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
477
478
479 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
480
481 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
482 approach for the various tests.
483 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
484 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
485 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
486 options to specify the default user and group for
487 CUPS.
488 - Added AIX shared library support.
489 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
490 parallel ports.
491 - Now use install program or script to install
492 directories, files, and symlinks.
493 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
494 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
495 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
496 print.
497 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
498 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
499 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
500 64-bit boundary.
501 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
502 skip the Digest keyword.
503 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
504 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
505 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
506 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
507 authentication from passwd.md5.
508 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
509 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
510 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
511 PPD files should start much faster now.
512 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
513 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
514 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
515 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
516 times.
517 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
518 code if an error occurred.
519 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
520 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
521 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
522 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
523 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
524 eliminates the buffer start bug.
525 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
526 the receiving device didn't support the copies
527 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
528 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
529 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
530 copies would come out instead of N.
531 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
532 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
533 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
534 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
535 output an even number of pages.
536 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
537 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
538 from being cancelled early.
539 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
540 instances, and options that are not defined by the
541 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
542 options from being used in individual user accounts.
543 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
544 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
545 "ESC i" graphics command.
546 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
547 printers to a local class.
548 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
549 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
550 - The scheduler did not load or save the
551 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
552 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
553 printers that were part of a class.
554 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
555 printer more than once.
556 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
557 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
558 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
559 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
560 account.
561 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
562 against a location of "/printers/name".
563 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
564 upgrades properly.
565 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
566 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
567 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
568 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
569 when using Digest authentication.
570 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
571 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
572 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
573 file.
574 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
575 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
576 server.
577 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
578 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
579 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
580 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
581 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
582 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
583 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
584 not the empty string.
585 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
586 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
587 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
588 unsupported attributes which should normally be
589 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
590 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
591 supported file types into the
592 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
593 clients to not send the local file type (such as
594 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
595 corresponding bad output in some cases.
596 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
597 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
598 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
599 or behave irratically.
600 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
601 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
602 specified.
603 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
604 completed or reported as "pending-held".
605 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
606 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
607 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
608 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
609 retrieve and update the server configuration files
610 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
611 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
612 location or description of the printer.
613 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
614 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
615 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
616 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
617 multiple groups.
618 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
619 Apache.
620 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
621 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
622 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
623 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
624 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
625 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
626 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
627 the page-ranges option from working properly.
628 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
629 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
630 Ghostscript code.
631 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
632 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
633 size instead of percent of page size.)
634 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
635 instead of root.
636 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
637 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
638 size options.
639 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
640 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
641 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
642 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
643 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
644 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
645 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
646 character.
647
648
649 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
650
651 - Updated configure script to check for /etc/pam.d and
652 to only set PAMDIR if it exists.
653 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
654 package for pstoraster.
655 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
656 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
657 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
658 Guiliani for finding this bug!
659 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
660 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
661 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
662 - The IPP backend did not handle the
663 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
664 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
665 to stop on client machines when the server had job
666 history disabled.
667 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
668 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
669 connections initially.
670 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
671 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
672 throughout.
673 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
674 Richard Begg.)
675 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
676 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
677 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
678 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
679 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
680 in the first page instead of the document setup section
681 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
682 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
683 #54489...
684 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
685 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
686 (only affects page-label and Classification
687 options.)
688 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
689 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
690 - The scheduler would not force the default job sheets
691 for printers to the current classification setting.
692 - Added a new ippFindNextAttribute() function to the
693 CUPS API.
694 - ppdEmitJCL() now strips any leading path info from
695 the title string. This is only an issue for non-CUPS
696 clients that don't do this already...
697 - Other pstops fixed from Helge Blischke for printing
698 non-conforming documents.
699 - The MaxJobs parameter was not reset when loading the
700 cupsd.conf file.
701
702
703 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
704
705 - Configuration script changes, including new
706 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
707 documentation and web content according to your
708 favorite version of the FHS.
709 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
710 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
711 test CUPS prior to installation.
712 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
713 insensitive to match Apache.
714 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
715 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
716 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
717 directives.
718 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
719 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
720 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
721 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
722 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
723 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
724 might not work with some LPD servers...)
725 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
726 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
727 formats are supported at present.)
728 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
729 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
730 all browsing off.
731 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
732 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
733 document.
734 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
735 to requests without the attributes-charset or
736 attributes-natural-language attributes.
737 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
738 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
739 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
740 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
741 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
742 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
743 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
744 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
745 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
746 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
747 server.
748 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
749 PJL commands from PPD files.
750 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
751 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
752 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
753 cancel all jobs on all printers.
754 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
755 the next/current job in the queue.
756 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
757 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
758 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
759 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
760 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
761 for Sun Raster images.
762 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
763 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
764 function.
765 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
766 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
767 command when printing to USB devices.
768 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
769 the cupsd.conf file.
770 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
771 which could block if insufficient entropy information
772 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
773 /dev/urandom.
774 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
775 httpGetSubField().
776 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
777 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
778 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
779 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
780 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
781 CGI was currently running.
782 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
783 option=true or option=false.
784 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
785 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
786 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
787 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
788 could cause it to crash.
789 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
790 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
791 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
792 attribute when altering a job.
793 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
794 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
795 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
796 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
797 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
798 addresses.
799 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
800 the current classification on each page.
801 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
802 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
803 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
804 for CGI programs when a client connects using
805 encryption.
806 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
807 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
808 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
809 support instances.
810 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
811 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
812 and should never be used in a production environment.
813 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
814 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
815 interface.
816 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
817 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
818 prevent caching of the results.
819 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
820 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
821 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
822 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
823 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
824 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
825 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
826 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
827 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
828 submitted by a user.
829 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
830 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
831 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
832 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
833 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
834 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
835 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
836 embedded spaces.
837 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
838 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
839 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
840 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
841 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
842 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
843 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
844 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
845 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
846 by the GIMP.
847 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
848 bypassed the authentication checks.
849 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
850 to the client and end the current request. This caused
851 a race condition between the client and server for the
852 upgrade to TLS.
853 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
854 the pstops filter.
855 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
856 the custom page size in the raster header.
857 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
858 size to the size of the printed image.
859 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
860 which are required by some printers.
861 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
862 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
863 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
864 DSC).
865 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
866 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
867 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
868 driver.
869 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
870 font list was not terminated by a newline.
871 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
872 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
873 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
874 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
875 workaround using a static variable has been added to
876 address this problem.
877 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
878 that could cause printers to disappear or the
879 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
880 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
881 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
882 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
883 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
884 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
885 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
886 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
887 to manage print jobs.
888 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
889 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
890 of 0 length.
891 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
892 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
893 Guiliani for finding this bug!
894
895
896 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
897
898 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
899 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
900 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
901 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
902 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
903 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
904 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
905 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
906 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
907 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
908 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
909 /dev/ulptN.
910 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
911 classes it was a member of.
912 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
913 implicit status of a class.
914 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
915 from implicit classes.
916 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
917 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
918 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
919 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
920 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
921 of the scheduler.
922 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
923 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
924 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
925 the /#copies variable anymore.
926 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
927 option.
928 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
929 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
930 for a bad-request error)
931 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
932 unimplemented, not invalid.
933 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
934 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
935 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
936 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
937 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
938 (pstoraster).
939 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
940 which are not used.
941 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
942 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
943 cgi_initialize_string().
944 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
945 ippSetCGIVars()
946 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
947 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
948 leaks.
949 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
950 fails.
951 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
952 setuid() calls.
953 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
954 calls.
955 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
956 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
957 bad input.
958 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
959 missing hex digits.
960
961
962 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
963
964 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
965 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
966 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
967 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
968 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
969 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
970 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
971 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
972 corruption on many printers)
973 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
974 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
975 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
976 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
977 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
978 requests.
979 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
980 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
981 was lost.
982 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
983 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
984 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
985 to be used for a socket.
986 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
987 a set were numeric or string types.
988 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
989 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
990 reading *.conf files.
991 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
992 same logic as GET requests.
993 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
994 /index.html to requested directory name.
995 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
996 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
997 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
998 instead of mode 0600.
999 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1000 instead of 0600.
1001 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1002 system name in log filenames.
1003 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1004 and hex strings.
1005
1006
1007 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1008
1009 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1010 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1011 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1012
1013
1014 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1015
1016 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1017 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1018 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1019 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1020 filter programs properly.
1021 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1022 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1023 versions of GCC.
1024 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1025 cancelled in StartJob().
1026 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1027 written with restricted permissions.
1028 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1029 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1030 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1031 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1032 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1033 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1034 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1035 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1036 syslog file.
1037 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1038 and only specifies the document format if it is
1039 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1040 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1041 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1042 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1043 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1044 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1045 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1046 cancelled.
1047 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1048 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1049 sporatic web interface problems.
1050 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1051 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1052 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1053 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1054 whitespace.
1055 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1056 instead of an integer.
1057 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1058 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1059 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1060 and user-level access control.
1061 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1062 encryption.
1063 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1064 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1065 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1066 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1067 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1068 to the man page.
1069 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1070 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1071 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1072 queued for a printer.
1073 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1074 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1075 reporting.
1076
1077
1078 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1079
1080 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1081 code.
1082 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1083 check in backend/serial.c.
1084 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1085 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1086 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1087 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1088 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1089 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1090 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1091 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1092 anyways)
1093
1094
1095 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1096
1097 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1098 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1099 for run level 5.
1100 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1101 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1102 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1103 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1104 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1105 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1106 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1107
1108
1109 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1110
1111 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1112 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1113 access from the local system.
1114 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1115 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1116 - Documentation updates.
1117 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1118 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1119 RedHat or Mandrake.
1120 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1121 warnings.
1122 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1123 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1124 hex)
1125 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1126 crash the server.
1127 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1128 correct value length for name-with-language and
1129 text-with-language attributes.
1130 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1131 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1132 efficient IPP server performance.
1133 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1134 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1135 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1136 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1137 attack.
1138 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1139 data required when getting the list of printer or
1140 class information. This should improve performance
1141 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1142 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1143 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1144 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1145 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1146 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1147 override the lpoptions default printer.
1148 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1149 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1150 attributes.
1151 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1152 did not check for the correct value for collated
1153 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1154 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1155 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1156 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1157 scale mode 2.
1158 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1159 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1160 that started with a number.
1161 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1162 multiple times in name-with-language and
1163 text-with-language attributes.
1164 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1165 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1166 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1167 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1168 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1169 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1170 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1171 close the spool directory.
1172 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1173 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1174 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1175 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1176 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1177 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1178 larger than the source string; this protects
1179 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1180 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1181 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1182 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1183 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1184 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1185 remote printers.
1186 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1187 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1188 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1189 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1190 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1191 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1192 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1193 3-argument contains() function.
1194 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1195 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1196 database containing 0 printers.
1197 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1198 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1199 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1200 printer was always busy.
1201 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1202 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1203 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1204 jobs.
1205 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1206 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1207 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1208 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1209 57600 and 115200 baud.
1210 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1211 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1212 option in the device URI.
1213 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1214 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1215 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1216 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1217 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1218 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1219 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1220 job attributes to be changed.
1221 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1222 web interface.
1223 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1224 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1225 since they do not map)
1226 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1227 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1228 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1229 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1230 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1231 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1232 child signals while loading devices.
1233 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1234 and classes.
1235 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1236 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1237 driver dithering code.
1238 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1239 after the first active printer.
1240 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1241 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1242 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1243 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1244 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1245 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1246 accepted null values.
1247 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1248 of the backends.
1249 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1250 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1251 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1252 is set in the plot file.
1253 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1254 user name, causing it to always fail.
1255 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1256 under Windows.
1257 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1258 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1259 didn't handle control file job information in any
1260 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1261 a file.
1262 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1263 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1264 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1265 printing on some systems.
1266 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1267 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1268 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1269 it.
1270
1271
1272 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1273
1274 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1275 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1276 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1277 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1278 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1279 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1280 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1281 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1282 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1283 order, which prevented remote printing.
1284 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1285 IPP requests and language information when closing
1286 a client connection.
1287 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1288 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1289 compatibles)
1290 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1291 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1292 on many OS's.
1293 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1294 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1295 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1296 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1297 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1298 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1299 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1300 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1301 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1302 PPD files.
1303 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1304 when the destination printer supported it. This
1305 caused problems when printing text files to other
1306 CUPS servers.
1307 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1308 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1309 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1310 the dates.)
1311 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1312 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1313 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1314 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1315 be clipped.
1316
1317
1318 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1319
1320 - Makefile fixes.
1321 - RPM spec file changes.
1322 - Documentation updates.
1323 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1324 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1325 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1326 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1327 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1328 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1329 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1330 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1331 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1332 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1333 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1334 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1335 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1336 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1337 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1338 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1339 specified.
1340 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1341 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1342 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1343 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1344 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1345 cupsd.conf.
1346 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1347 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1348 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1349 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1350 filter mode 'l'.
1351 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1352 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1353 defaults for all print queues.
1354 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1355 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1356 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1357 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1358 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1359 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1360 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1361 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1362 printer was defined with the same name.
1363 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1364 remove options for a printer or instance.
1365 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1366 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1367 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1368 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1369 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1370 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1371 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1372 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1373 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1374 job-printer-uri attribute.
1375 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1376 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1377 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1378 remote printers.
1379 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1380 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1381 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1382 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1383 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1384 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1385 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1386 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1387 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1388 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1389 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1390 printer set using lpoptions.
1391 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1392 list the printer-specific options and their current
1393 settings.
1394 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1395 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1396 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1397 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1398 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1399 text printing.
1400 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1401 instances.
1402 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1403 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1404 limit.
1405 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1406 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1407 new client connections.
1408 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1409 required pagedevice parameters.
1410 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1411 under Linux.
1412 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1413 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1414 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1415 would stop processing.
1416 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1417 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1418 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1419 that was currently printing a job.
1420 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1421 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1422 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1423 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1424 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1425 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1426 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1427 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1428 option values separated by commas.
1429 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1430 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1431 and free bytes once a minute)
1432 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1433 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1434 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1435 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1436 printers.
1437 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1438 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1439 requests from that address to the server name.
1440 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1441 server.domain.com to localhost.
1442 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1443 the previous device and driver settings (except
1444 for serial ports.)
1445 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1446 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1447 after a job is completed when job file history is
1448 turned off.
1449 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1450 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1451 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1452 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1453 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1454 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1455 for "lpstat -v" output.
1456 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1457 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1458 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1459 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1460 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1461 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1462 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1463 by itself without quoting.
1464
1465
1466 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1467
1468 - Makefile/configure fixes
1469 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1470 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1471 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1472 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1473 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1474 number generator for certificates.
1475 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1476 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1477 the filter user, typically "lp".
1478 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1479 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1480 user.
1481 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1482 function.
1483 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1484 standard input.
1485 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1486 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1487 page header as needed.
1488 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1489 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1490 immediately when last-document was true.
1491 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1492 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1493 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1494 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1495 and many PS printers.
1496 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1497 filters.
1498 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1499 debugging problems.
1500 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1501 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1502 calling problem...)
1503 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1504 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1505 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1506 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1507 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1508 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1509 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1510 by default.
1511 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1512 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1513 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1514 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1515 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1516 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1517 CUPS software.
1518
1519
1520 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1521
1522 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1523 old PDF filter files.
1524 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1525 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1526 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1527 network devices.
1528 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1529 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1530 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1531 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1532 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1533 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1534 is defined otherwise.
1535 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1536 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1537 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1538 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1539 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1540 0-length PPD file was read.
1541 - The image filters were not handling images with
1542 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1543 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1544 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1545 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1546 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1547 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1548 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1549 documents if they don't have it.
1550 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1551 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1552 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1553 --prefix was specified.
1554 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1555 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1556 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1557 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1558 color mode until it can be fixed.
1559 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1560 correctly in all cases.
1561 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1562 time in banner files.
1563
1564
1565 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1566
1567 - Documentation updates.
1568 - Configuration script updates.
1569 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1570 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1571 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1572 ppd_file_t structure.
1573 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1574 before it was used.
1575 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1576 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1577 the localhost address.
1578 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1579 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1580 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1581 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1582 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1583 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1584 PDF support.
1585 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1586 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1587 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1588 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1589 pstoraster.
1590 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1591 the user.
1592 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1593 not running.
1594 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1595 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1596 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1597 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1598 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1599 setpagedevice operator.
1600 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1601 the default banner pages.
1602 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1603 "position" option.
1604 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1605 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1606 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1607 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1608 "printer@server") when possible.
1609 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1610 with no PageSize attributes.
1611 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1612 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1613 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1614 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1615 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1616 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1617 cupsd.
1618 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1619 locations.
1620 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1621 variables to specify installation directories as
1622 needed.
1623 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1624 when the scheduler is started.
1625 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1626 printer.
1627 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1628 printer are automatically deleted.
1629 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1630 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1631 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1632 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1633 request.
1634 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1635 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1636 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1637 is "no-hold".
1638 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1639 responses.
1640 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1641 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1642 printer.
1643 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1644 request fails.
1645 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1646 printer and class names.
1647 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1648 received in a POST request.
1649
1650
1651 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1652
1653 - Documentation updates.
1654 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1655 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1656 method.
1657 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1658 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1659 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1660 - Missing the job-restart template.
1661 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1662 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1663 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1664 not specified.
1665 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1666 from getting through.
1667 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1668 stderr.
1669 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1670 job name and display string, if supported.
1671 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1672 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1673 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1674 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1675 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1676 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1677 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1678 UTF-8...
1679 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1680 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1681 could cause cupsd to crash.
1682 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1683 crash.
1684 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1685 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1686 "HH:MM:SS".
1687 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1688 connection structure.
1689 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1690 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1691 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1692 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1693 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1694 is a potential security hole.
1695 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1696 new pstoraster.
1697 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1698 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1699 (/dev/usblp#)
1700 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1701 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1702 release.
1703
1704
1705 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1706
1707 - Documentation updates.
1708 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1709 now compile better under *BSD.)
1710 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1711 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1712 tray was selected.
1713 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1714 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1715 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1716 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1717 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1718 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1719 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1720 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1721 can handle.
1722 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1723 cause cupsd to crash.
1724 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1725 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1726 mime.types file.
1727 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1728 of file to be used as a banner.
1729 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1730 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1731 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1732 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1733 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1734 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1735 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1736 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1737 the IANA registrations.
1738 - New PostScript banner pages.
1739 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1740 filter.
1741 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1742 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1743 code.
1744 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1745 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1746 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1747 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1748 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1749 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1750 accurate width specification.
1751 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1752 files.
1753 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1754 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1755 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1756 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1757 that support it.
1758 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1759 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1760 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1761 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1762 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1763 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1764 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1765 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1766 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1767 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1768
1769
1770 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1771
1772 - Documentation updates.
1773 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1774 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1775 shell and Bash.
1776 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1777 code.
1778 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1779 manufacturer in the PPD.
1780 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1781 output attributes to be set.
1782 - Added banner page support.
1783 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1784 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1785 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1786 timezone offset.
1787 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1788 file is generated).
1789 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1790 printers when they became available.
1791 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1792 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1793 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1794 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1795 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1796 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1797 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1798 (override with -f)
1799 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1800 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1801 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1802 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1803 folks.
1804 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1805 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1806 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1807 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1808 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1809 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1810 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1811 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1812 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1813 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1814 languages (still only have templates for English)
1815 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1816 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1817 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1818 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1819 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1820 needed for some sites)
1821 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1822 templates.
1823 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1824 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1825 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1826 specific printer.
1827 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1828 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1829 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1830 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1831 authentication.
1832 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1833 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1834 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1835 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1836 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1837 filter.
1838 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1839 US-ASCII.
1840 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1841 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1842 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1843 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1844 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1845 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1846 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1847 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1848 basis without environment variables.
1849 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1850
1851
1852 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1853
1854 - Documentation updates.
1855 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1856 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1857 printer.
1858 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1859 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1860 distribution.
1861 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1862 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1863 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1864 to match the IPP spec.
1865 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1866 (previously they would be ignored)
1867 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1868 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1869 machines.
1870 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1871 and printer.
1872 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1873 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1874 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1875 BrowseRelay directives.
1876 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1877 still receives information on remote printers.
1878 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1879 networks)
1880 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1881 of PPD files.
1882 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1883 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1884 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1885 close their input files.
1886
1887
1888 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
1889
1890 - NEW web-based administration interface.
1891 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
1892 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
1893 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
1894 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
1895 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
1896 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
1897 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
1898 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
1899 administration.
1900 - NEW USB backend.
1901 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
1902 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
1903 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
1904 print queue problems that have been reported.
1905 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
1906 was being used.
1907 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
1908 printer.
1909 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
1910 printer.
1911
1912
1913 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.5
1914
1915 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not correctly set the pen color
1916 for pens other than #1.
1917 - The scheduler would only accept 26 simultaneous jobs
1918 under some OS releases (mkstemp() limitation.) It now
1919 handles up to 2^32 simultaneous jobs.
1920 - The PostScript filter loaded the printer's PPD file
1921 twice.
1922 - The PAM authentication code now uses pam_strerror() to
1923 provide a textual error message in the error_log file.
1924 - The scheduler now copies PPD and interface script
1925 files instead of moving them; this fixes installations
1926 with a separate requests directory.
1927 - The PostScript RIP did not generate correct 6-color
1928 output.
1929 - Several filters were marking PPD options twice when
1930 they didn't need to.
1931 - The scheduler did not save the printer or class state
1932 after an accept-jobs or reject-jobs operation.
1933 - The cupsGetDefault() function now ignores the PRINTER
1934 environment variable if it is set to "lp".
1935 - New ippErrorString() function to get textual error
1936 messages.
1937 - Better error reporting in the System V commands.
1938 - The lpadmin and lpstat commands always tried to
1939 connect to the default server.
1940 - The text filter didn't load the charset files from the
1941 correct location.
1942 - Wasn't sending a WWW-Authenticate: field to HTTP
1943 clients when authentication was required.
1944 - httpSeparate() didn't always set the default port
1945 number for known methods.
1946 - The HP-GL/2 filter now looks for "PSwidth,length"
1947 instead of (the correct) "PSlength,width" as
1948 documented by HP. It appears that many major CAD
1949 applications are broken and this change allows the
1950 auto-rotation to work with them.
1951 - The IPP "printer-resolution" option was not being
1952 translated.
1953 - The charset files did not include the Microsoft
1954 "standard" characters from 128 to 159 (unused by the
1955 ISO-8859-x charsets)
1956 - The scheduler was chunking the Content-Type field from
1957 CGI programs; this problem was most noticeable with
1958 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
1959 - By popular demand, the printers, jobs, and classes
1960 CGIs no longer force a reload of the page every 10/30
1961 seconds.
1962 - The scheduler incorrectly required that the IPP client
1963 provide a document-format attribute for the
1964 validate-job operation.
1965 - Clients that sent bad IPP requests without the
1966 required attributes-natural-language and
1967 attributes-charset attributes would crash the
1968 scheduler.
1969
1970
1971 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.4
1972
1973 - Documentation updates.
1974 - Jobs would get stuck in the queue and wouldn't print
1975 until you enabled the queue.
1976 - The lp and lpr commands now catch SIGHUP and SIGINTR.
1977 - The lp and lpr commands now use sigaction or sigset
1978 when available.
1979 - CUPS library updates for WIN32/OS-2
1980
1981
1982 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.3
1983
1984 - Documentation updates.
1985 - The lpq man page was missing.
1986 - The configure script was not properly detecting the
1987 image libraries.
1988 - The top-level makefile was calling "make" instead of
1989 "$(MAKE)".
1990 - PostScript filter fixes for number-up, OutputOrder,
1991 and %Trailer.
1992 - The imagetops filter didn't end the base-85 encoding
1993 properly if the image data was not a multiple of 4
1994 bytes in length.
1995 - The imagetoraster filter didn't generate good banded
1996 RGB or CMY data (was dividing the line width by 4
1997 instead of 3...)
1998 - The imagetoraster filter now records the bounding
1999 box of the image on the page.
2000 - The CUPS image library cache code wasn't working as
2001 designed; images larger than the maximum RIP cache
2002 would eventually thrash using the same cache tile.
2003 - The CUPS image library TIFF loading code didn't
2004 handle unknown resolution units properly; the fixed
2005 code uses a default resolution of 128 PPI.
2006 - cupsGetClasses() and cupsGetPrinters() did not free
2007 existing strings if they ran out of memory.
2008 - The scheduler logs incorrectly contained 3 digits for
2009 the timezone offset instead of 4.
2010 - The scheduler now does a lookup for the default user
2011 and group ID; the previous hardcoded values caused
2012 problems with the LPD backend.
2013 - The cancel-job operation now allows any user in the
2014 system group to cancel any job.
2015 - The cancel-job operation stopped the print queue if
2016 the job was being printed.
2017 - Now only stop printers if the backend fails. If the
2018 filter fails then the failure is noted in the
2019 error_log and printing continues with the next file in
2020 the queue.
2021 - Now log whether a filter fails because of a signal
2022 or because it returned a non-zero exit status.
2023 - The root user now always passes the system group test.
2024 - Printers with an interface script and remote printers
2025 and classes didn't have a printer-make-and-model
2026 attribute.
2027 - Added logging of lost/timed-out remote printers.
2028 - The HP-GL/2 filter was scaling the pen width twice.
2029 - Updated the HP-GL/2 filter to use a single SP (Set
2030 Pen) procedure. This makes the output smaller and is
2031 more appropriate since the filter keeps track of the
2032 pen states already.
2033 - The scheduler didn't handle passwords with spaces.
2034 - The IPP backend now does multiple copies and retries
2035 if the destination server requires it (e.g. HP
2036 JetDirect.)
2037 - The disable command didn't implement the "-c" option
2038 (cancel all jobs.)
2039 - Changed the CMYK generation function for the image file
2040 and PostScript RIPs.
2041 - The lp command didn't support the "-h" option as
2042 documented.
2043 - The AppSocket, IPP, and LPD backends now retry on all
2044 network errors. This should prevent stopped queues
2045 caused by a printer being disconnected from the
2046 network or powered off.
2047 - The scheduler now restarts a job if the corresponding
2048 printer is modified.
2049 - The image RIPs now rotate the image if needed to fit
2050 on the page.
2051
2052
2053 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.2
2054
2055 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't always scale the output
2056 correctly.
2057 - The HP-GL/2 filter now supports changing the page size
2058 automatically when the "fitplot" option is not used.
2059 - The cancel-job operation was expecting a resource name
2060 of the form "/job/#" instead of "/jobs/#"; this
2061 prevented the cancel and lprm commands from working.
2062 - The backends didn't log pages when files were printed
2063 using the "-oraw" option.
2064 - The authorization code did not work with the Slackware
2065 long shadow password package because its crypt() can
2066 return NULL.
2067 - The chunking code didn't work for reading the response
2068 of a POST request.
2069 - cupsGetPPD() now does authentication as needed.
2070 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't work
2071 with some printers (grestoreall would restore the
2072 default blank page and device settings).
2073 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't scale
2074 the pages to fit within the imageable area of the
2075 page.
2076 - Wasn't doing an fchown() on the request files. This
2077 caused problems when the default root account group
2078 and CUPS group were not the same.

2081 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.1
2082
2083 - Documentation updates.
2084 - Fixed a bunch of possible buffer-overflow conditions.
2085 - The scheduler now supports authentication using PAM.
2086 - Updated the Italian message file.
2087 - httpEncode64() didn't add an extra "=" if there was
2088 only one byte in the last three-byte group.
2089 - Now drop any trailing character set from the locale
2090 string (e.g. "en_US.ISO_8859-1" becomes "en_US")
2091 - Fixed "timezone" vs "tm_gmtoff" usage for BSD-based
2092 operating systems.
2093 - Updated IPP security so that "get" operations can be
2094 done from any resource name; this allows the CGIs to
2095 work with printer authentication enabled so long as
2096 authentication isn't turned on for the whole "site".
2097 - The IPP code didn't properly handle the "unsupported"
2098 group; this caused problems with the HP JetDirect since
2099 it doesn't seem to support the "copies" attribute.
2100 - The HTTP chunking code was missing a CR LF pair at the
2101 end of a 0-length chunk.
2102 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle embedded
2103 usernames and passwords in the URI properly.
2104 - Doing "lpadmin -p printer -E" didn't restart printing
2105 if there were pending jobs.
2106 - The cancel-job operation now requires either a
2107 requesting-user-name attribute or an authenticated
2108 username.
2109 - The add-printer code did not report errors if the
2110 interface script or PPD file could not be renamed.
2111 - Request files are now created without world read
2112 permissions.
2113 - Added a cupsLastError() function to the CUPS API to
2114 retrieve the IPP error code from the last request.
2115 - Options are now case-insensitive.
2116 - The lpq command now provides 10 characters for the
2117 username instead of the original (Berkeley standard)
2118 7.
2119 - The cancel command needed a local CUPS server to work
2120 (or the appropriate ServerName in cupsd.conf)
2121 - The cancel and lprm commands didn't report the IPP
2122 error if the job could not be cancelled.
2123 - The lp and lpr commands didn't intercept SIGTERM to
2124 remove temporary files when printing from stdin.
2125 - The lp and lpr commands didn't report the IPP error if
2126 the job could not be printed.
