4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
5
6 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
7 files.
8 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
9 files.
10 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
11 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
12 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
13 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
14 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
15 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
16 the device list (lpinfo -m).
17 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
18 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
19 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
20 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
21 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
22 increment. [this caused some versions of the
23 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
24 options exceeded 100...]
25 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
26 was set to "No".
27 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
28 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
29 infinite loop when accepting a request.
30 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
31 functions to make IPP request/response processing
32 faster.
33 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
34 support properly support the "-h" or default
35 server name.
36 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
37 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
38 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
39 support printer instances.
40 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
41 underline formatting.
42 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
43 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
44 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
45 (-1).
46 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
47 from printing to printers in that class.
48 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
49 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
50 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
51 slower systems since more information had to be
52 transferred from server to client.
53 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
54 things like the job title. This had the potential for
55 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
56 machine); bug report from SuSE.
57 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
58 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
59 processing.
60 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
61 to stderr instead of stdout...
62 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
63 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
64 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
65 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
66 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
67 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
68 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
69 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
70 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
71 the Spanish banner files.
72 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
73 language abbreviation to use for all supported
74 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
75 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
76 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
77 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
78 anonymous printing (no username specified).
79 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
80 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
81 information when printing via LPD.
82 - Added many warning and informational messages
83 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
84 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
85 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
86 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
87 provided.
88 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
89 cupsd.conf.
90 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
91 32k.
92 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
93 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
94 possible.
95 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
96 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
97 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
98 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
99 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
100 long values.
101 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
102 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
103 to CGIs.
104 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
105 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
106 time.
107 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
108 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
109 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
110 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
111 result in a blank page being output...
112 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
113 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
114 page comments when printing files directly...)
115 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
116 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
117 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
118 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
119 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
120 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
121 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the internal
122 destination name for held jobs, so moved (but held)
123 jobs would print on the correct printer but show up
124 as queued on the original destination.
125
126
127 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
128
129 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
130 makefiles to install files properly.
131
132
133 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
134
135 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
136 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
137 to override the classification of individual jobs.
138 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
139 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
140 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
141 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
142 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
143 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
144 server.
145 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
146 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
147 with some types of flow control.
148 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
149 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
150 server.
151 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
152 lines in the configuration files.
153 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
154 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
155 from the server.
156 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
157 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
158 to the file: pseudo-backend.
159 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
160 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
161 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
162 script. Previously the job's document format was
163 used, which was incorrect.
164 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
165 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
166 "raw" model from the command-line.
167 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
168 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
169 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
170 printers.
171 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
172 Chinese text support compiled into it.
173 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
174 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
175 which caused some confusion... :)
176 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
177 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
178
179
180 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
181
182 - The configure script did not substitute the
183 correct user and group names.
184 - The configure script did not use the full path
185 to the install-sh script when it was used.
186 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
187 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
188 duplexing.
189 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
190 distribution.
191 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
192 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
193 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
194 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
195 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
196 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
197 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
198 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
199 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
200 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
201 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
202 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
203
204
205 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
206
207 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
208 approach for the various tests.
209 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
210 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
211 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
212 options to specify the default user and group for
213 CUPS.
214 - Added AIX shared library support.
215 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
216 parallel ports.
217 - Now use install program or script to install
218 directories, files, and symlinks.
219 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
220 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
221 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
222 print.
223 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
224 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
225 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
226 64-bit boundary.
227 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
228 skip the Digest keyword.
229 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
230 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
231 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
232 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
233 authentication from passwd.md5.
234 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
235 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
236 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
237 PPD files should start much faster now.
238 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
239 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
240 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
241 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
242 times.
243 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
244 code if an error occurred.
245 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
246 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
247 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
248 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
249 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
250 eliminates the buffer start bug.
251 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
252 the receiving device didn't support the copies
253 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
254 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
255 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
256 copies would come out instead of N.
257 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
258 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
259 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
260 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
261 output an even number of pages.
262 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
263 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
264 from being cancelled early.
265 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
266 instances, and options that are not defined by the
267 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
268 options from being used in individual user accounts.
269 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
270 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
271 "ESC i" graphics command.
272 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
273 printers to a local class.
274 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
275 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
276 - The scheduler did not load or save the
277 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
278 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
279 printers that were part of a class.
280 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
281 printer more than once.
282 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
283 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
284 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
285 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
286 account.
287 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
288 against a location of "/printers/name".
289 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
290 upgrades properly.
291 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
292 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
293 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
294 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
295 when using Digest authentication.
296 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
297 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
298 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
299 file.
300 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
301 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
302 server.
303 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
304 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
305 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
306 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
307 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
308 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
309 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
310 not the empty string.
311 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
312 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
313 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
314 unsupported attributes which should normally be
315 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
316 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
317 supported file types into the
318 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
319 clients to not send the local file type (such as
320 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
321 corresponding bad output in some cases.
322 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
323 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
324 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
325 or behave irratically.
326 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
327 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
328 specified.
329 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
330 completed or reported as "pending-held".
331 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
332 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
333 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
334 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
335 retrieve and update the server configuration files
336 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
337 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
338 location or description of the printer.
339 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
340 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
341 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
342 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
343 multiple groups.
344 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
345 Apache.
346 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
347 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
348 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
349 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
350 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
351 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
352 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
353 the page-ranges option from working properly.
354 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
355 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
356 Ghostscript code.
357 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
358 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
359 size instead of percent of page size.)
360 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
361 instead of root.
362 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
363 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
364 size options.
365 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
366 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
367 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
368 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
369 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
370 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
371 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
372 character.
373
374
375 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
376
377 - Updated configure script to check for /etc/pam.d and
378 to only set PAMDIR if it exists.
379 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
380 package for pstoraster.
381 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
382 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
383 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
384 Guiliani for finding this bug!
385 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
386 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
387 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
388 - The IPP backend did not handle the
389 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
390 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
391 to stop on client machines when the server had job
392 history disabled.
393 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
394 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
395 connections initially.
396 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
397 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
398 throughout.
399 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
400 Richard Begg.)
401 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
402 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
403 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
404 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
405 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
406 in the first page instead of the document setup section
407 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
408 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
409 #54489...
410 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
411 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
412 (only affects page-label and Classification
413 options.)
414 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
415 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
416 - The scheduler would not force the default job sheets
417 for printers to the current classification setting.
418 - Added a new ippFindNextAttribute() function to the
419 CUPS API.
420 - ppdEmitJCL() now strips any leading path info from
421 the title string. This is only an issue for non-CUPS
422 clients that don't do this already...
423 - Other pstops fixed from Helge Blischke for printing
424 non-conforming documents.
425 - The MaxJobs parameter was not reset when loading the
426 cupsd.conf file.
427
428
429 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
430
431 - Configuration script changes, including new
432 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
433 documentation and web content according to your
434 favorite version of the FHS.
435 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
436 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
437 test CUPS prior to installation.
438 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
439 insensitive to match Apache.
440 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
441 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
442 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
443 directives.
444 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
445 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
446 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
447 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
448 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
449 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
450 might not work with some LPD servers...)
451 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
452 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
453 formats are supported at present.)
454 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
455 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
456 all browsing off.
457 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
458 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
459 document.
460 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
461 to requests without the attributes-charset or
462 attributes-natural-language attributes.
463 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
464 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
465 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
466 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
467 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
468 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
469 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
470 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
471 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
472 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
473 server.
474 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
475 PJL commands from PPD files.
476 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
477 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
478 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
479 cancel all jobs on all printers.
480 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
481 the next/current job in the queue.
482 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
483 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
484 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
485 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
486 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
487 for Sun Raster images.
488 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
489 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
490 function.
491 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
492 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
493 command when printing to USB devices.
494 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
495 the cupsd.conf file.
496 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
497 which could block if insufficient entropy information
498 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
499 /dev/urandom.
500 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
501 httpGetSubField().
502 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
503 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
504 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
505 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
506 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
507 CGI was currently running.
508 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
509 option=true or option=false.
510 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
511 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
512 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
513 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
514 could cause it to crash.
515 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
516 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
517 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
518 attribute when altering a job.
519 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
520 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
521 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
522 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
523 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
524 addresses.
525 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
526 the current classification on each page.
527 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
528 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
529 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
530 for CGI programs when a client connects using
531 encryption.
532 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
533 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
534 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
535 support instances.
536 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
537 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
538 and should never be used in a production environment.
539 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
540 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
541 interface.
542 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
543 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
544 prevent caching of the results.
545 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
546 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
547 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
548 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
549 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
550 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
551 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
552 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
553 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
554 submitted by a user.
555 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
556 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
557 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
558 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
559 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
560 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
561 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
562 embedded spaces.
563 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
564 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
565 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
566 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
567 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
568 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
569 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
570 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
571 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
572 by the GIMP.
573 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
574 bypassed the authentication checks.
575 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
576 to the client and end the current request. This caused
577 a race condition between the client and server for the
578 upgrade to TLS.
579 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
580 the pstops filter.
581 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
582 the custom page size in the raster header.
583 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
584 size to the size of the printed image.
585 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
586 which are required by some printers.
587 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
588 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
589 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
590 DSC).
591 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
592 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
593 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
594 driver.
595 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
596 font list was not terminated by a newline.
597 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
598 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
599 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
600 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
601 workaround using a static variable has been added to
602 address this problem.
603 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
604 that could cause printers to disappear or the
605 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
606 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
607 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
608 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
609 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
610 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
611 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
612 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
613 to manage print jobs.
614 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
615 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
616 of 0 length.
617 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
618 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
619 Guiliani for finding this bug!
620
621
622 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
623
624 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
625 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
626 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
627 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
628 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
629 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
630 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
631 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
632 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
633 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
634 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
635 /dev/ulptN.
636 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
637 classes it was a member of.
638 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
639 implicit status of a class.
640 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
641 from implicit classes.
642 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
643 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
644 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
645 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
646 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
647 of the scheduler.
648 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
649 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
650 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
651 the /#copies variable anymore.
652 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
653 option.
654 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
655 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
656 for a bad-request error)
657 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
658 unimplemented, not invalid.
659 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
660 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
661 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
662 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
663 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
664 (pstoraster).
665 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
666 which are not used.
667 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
668 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
669 cgi_initialize_string().
670 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
671 ippSetCGIVars()
672 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
673 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
674 leaks.
675 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
676 fails.
677 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
678 setuid() calls.
679 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
680 calls.
681 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
682 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
683 bad input.
684 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
685 missing hex digits.
686
687
688 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
689
690 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
691 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
692 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
693 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
694 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
695 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
696 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
697 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
698 corruption on many printers)
699 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
700 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
701 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
702 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
703 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
704 requests.
705 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
706 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
707 was lost.
708 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
709 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
710 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
711 to be used for a socket.
712 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
713 a set were numeric or string types.
714 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
715 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
716 reading *.conf files.
717 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
718 same logic as GET requests.
719 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
720 /index.html to requested directory name.
721 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
722 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
723 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
724 instead of mode 0600.
725 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
726 instead of 0600.
727 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
728 system name in log filenames.
729 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
730 and hex strings.
731
732
733 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
734
735 - Added configure check for getting the correct
736 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
737 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
738
739
740 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
741
742 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
743 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
744 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
745 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
746 filter programs properly.
747 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
748 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
749 versions of GCC.
750 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
751 cancelled in StartJob().
752 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
753 written with restricted permissions.
754 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
755 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
756 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
757 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
758 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
759 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
760 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
761 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
762 syslog file.
763 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
764 and only specifies the document format if it is
765 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
766 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
767 capabilities of CUPS servers.
768 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
769 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
770 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
771 signals and eject the current page when a job is
772 cancelled.
773 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
774 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
775 sporatic web interface problems.
776 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
777 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
778 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
779 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
780 whitespace.
781 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
782 instead of an integer.
783 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
784 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
785 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
786 and user-level access control.
787 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
788 encryption.
789 - The client code did not consume the response to the
790 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
791 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
792 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
793 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
794 to the man page.
795 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
796 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
797 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
798 queued for a printer.
799 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
800 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
801 reporting.
802
803
804 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
805
806 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
807 code.
808 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
809 check in backend/serial.c.
810 - Updated configure script handling of data,
811 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
812 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
813 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
814 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
815 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
816 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
817 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
818 anyways)
819
820
821 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
822
823 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
824 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
825 for run level 5.
826 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
827 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
828 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
829 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
830 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
831 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
832 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
833
834
835 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
836
837 - Security updates - new default configuration does
838 not broadcast printer information and only allows
839 access from the local system.
840 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
841 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
842 - Documentation updates.
843 - Makefile/configure script updates.
844 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
845 RedHat or Mandrake.
846 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
847 warnings.
848 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
849 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
850 hex)
851 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
852 crash the server.
853 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
854 correct value length for name-with-language and
855 text-with-language attributes.
856 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
857 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
858 efficient IPP server performance.
859 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
860 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
861 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
862 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
863 attack.
864 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
865 data required when getting the list of printer or
866 class information. This should improve performance
867 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
868 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
869 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
870 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
871 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
872 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
873 override the lpoptions default printer.
874 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
875 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
876 attributes.
877 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
878 did not check for the correct value for collated
879 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
880 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
881 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
882 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
883 scale mode 2.
884 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
885 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
886 that started with a number.
887 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
888 multiple times in name-with-language and
889 text-with-language attributes.
890 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
891 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
892 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
893 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
894 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
895 in the ppd_file_t structure.
896 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
897 close the spool directory.
898 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
899 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
900 larger than the source string(s); this protects
901 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
902 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
903 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
904 larger than the source string; this protects
905 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
906 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
907 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
908 - The directory services code was copying instead of
909 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
910 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
911 remote printers.
912 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
913 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
914 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
915 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
916 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
917 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
918 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
919 3-argument contains() function.
920 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
921 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
922 database containing 0 printers.
923 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
924 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
925 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
926 printer was always busy.
927 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
928 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
929 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
930 jobs.
931 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
932 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
933 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
934 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
935 57600 and 115200 baud.
936 - The serial backend now supports different types of
937 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
938 option in the device URI.
939 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
940 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
941 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
942 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
943 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
944 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
945 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
946 job attributes to be changed.
947 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
948 web interface.
949 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
950 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
951 since they do not map)
952 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
953 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
954 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
955 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
956 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
957 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
958 child signals while loading devices.
959 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
960 and classes.
961 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
962 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
963 driver dithering code.
964 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
965 after the first active printer.
966 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
967 Solaris printing system did not understand.
968 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
969 except under Tru64 UNIX.
970 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
971 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
972 accepted null values.
973 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
974 of the backends.
975 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
976 undocumented feature in Solaris.
977 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
978 is set in the plot file.
979 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
980 user name, causing it to always fail.
981 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
982 under Windows.
983 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
984 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
985 didn't handle control file job information in any
986 order, and didn't free job options after printing
987 a file.
988 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
989 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
990 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
991 printing on some systems.
992 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
993 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
994 attribute was specified in all requests that required
995 it.
996
997
998 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
999
1000 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1001 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1002 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1003 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1004 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1005 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1006 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1007 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1008 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1009 order, which prevented remote printing.
1010 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1011 IPP requests and language information when closing
1012 a client connection.
1013 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1014 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1015 compatibles)
1016 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1017 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1018 on many OS's.
1019 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1020 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1021 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1022 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1023 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1024 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1025 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1026 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1027 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1028 PPD files.
1029 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1030 when the destination printer supported it. This
1031 caused problems when printing text files to other
1032 CUPS servers.
1033 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1034 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1035 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1036 the dates.)
1037 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1038 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1039 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1040 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1041 be clipped.
1042
1043
1044 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1045
1046 - Makefile fixes.
1047 - RPM spec file changes.
1048 - Documentation updates.
1049 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1050 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1051 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1052 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1053 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1054 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1055 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1056 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1057 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1058 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1059 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1060 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1061 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1062 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1063 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1064 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1065 specified.
1066 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1067 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1068 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1069 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1070 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1071 cupsd.conf.
1072 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1073 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1074 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1075 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1076 filter mode 'l'.
1077 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1078 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1079 defaults for all print queues.
1080 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1081 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1082 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1083 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1084 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1085 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1086 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1087 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1088 printer was defined with the same name.
1089 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1090 remove options for a printer or instance.
1091 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1092 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1093 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1094 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1095 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1096 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1097 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1098 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1099 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1100 job-printer-uri attribute.
1101 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1102 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1103 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1104 remote printers.
1105 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1106 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1107 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1108 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1109 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1110 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1111 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1112 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1113 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1114 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1115 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1116 printer set using lpoptions.
1117 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1118 list the printer-specific options and their current
1119 settings.
1120 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1121 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1122 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1123 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1124 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1125 text printing.
1126 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1127 instances.
1128 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1129 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1130 limit.
1131 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1132 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1133 new client connections.
1134 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1135 required pagedevice parameters.
1136 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1137 under Linux.
1138 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1139 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1140 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1141 would stop processing.
1142 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1143 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1144 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1145 that was currently printing a job.
1146 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1147 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1148 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1149 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1150 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1151 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1152 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1153 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1154 option values separated by commas.
1155 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1156 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1157 and free bytes once a minute)
1158 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1159 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1160 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1161 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1162 printers.
1163 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1164 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1165 requests from that address to the server name.
1166 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1167 server.domain.com to localhost.
1168 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1169 the previous device and driver settings (except
1170 for serial ports.)
1171 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1172 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1173 after a job is completed when job file history is
1174 turned off.
1175 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1176 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1177 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1178 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1179 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1180 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1181 for "lpstat -v" output.
1182 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1183 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1184 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1185 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1186 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1187 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1188 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1189 by itself without quoting.
1190
1191
1192 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1193
1194 - Makefile/configure fixes
1195 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1196 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1197 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1198 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1199 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1200 number generator for certificates.
1201 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1202 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1203 the filter user, typically "lp".
1204 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1205 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1206 user.
1207 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1208 function.
1209 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1210 standard input.
1211 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1212 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1213 page header as needed.
1214 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1215 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1216 immediately when last-document was true.
1217 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1218 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1219 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1220 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1221 and many PS printers.
1222 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1223 filters.
1224 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1225 debugging problems.
1226 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1227 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1228 calling problem...)
1229 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1230 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1231 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1232 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1233 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1234 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1235 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1236 by default.
1237 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1238 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1239 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1240 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1241 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1242 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1243 CUPS software.
1244
1245
1246 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1247
1248 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1249 old PDF filter files.
1250 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1251 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1252 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1253 network devices.
1254 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1255 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1256 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1257 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1258 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1259 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1260 is defined otherwise.
1261 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1262 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1263 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1264 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1265 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1266 0-length PPD file was read.
1267 - The image filters were not handling images with
1268 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1269 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1270 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1271 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1272 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1273 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1274 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1275 documents if they don't have it.
1276 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1277 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1278 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1279 --prefix was specified.
1280 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1281 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1282 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1283 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1284 color mode until it can be fixed.
1285 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1286 correctly in all cases.
1287 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1288 time in banner files.
1289
1290
1291 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1292
1293 - Documentation updates.
1294 - Configuration script updates.
1295 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1296 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1297 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1298 ppd_file_t structure.
1299 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1300 before it was used.
1301 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1302 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1303 the localhost address.
1304 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1305 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1306 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1307 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1308 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1309 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1310 PDF support.
1311 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1312 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1313 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1314 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1315 pstoraster.
1316 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1317 the user.
1318 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1319 not running.
1320 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1321 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1322 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1323 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1324 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1325 setpagedevice operator.
1326 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1327 the default banner pages.
1328 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1329 "position" option.
1330 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1331 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1332 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1333 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1334 "printer@server") when possible.
1335 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1336 with no PageSize attributes.
1337 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1338 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1339 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1340 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1341 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1342 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1343 cupsd.
1344 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1345 locations.
1346 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1347 variables to specify installation directories as
1348 needed.
1349 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1350 when the scheduler is started.
1351 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1352 printer.
1353 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1354 printer are automatically deleted.
1355 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1356 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1357 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1358 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1359 request.
1360 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1361 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1362 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1363 is "no-hold".
1364 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1365 responses.
1366 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1367 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1368 printer.
1369 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1370 request fails.
1371 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1372 printer and class names.
1373 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1374 received in a POST request.
1375
1376
1377 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1378
1379 - Documentation updates.
1380 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1381 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1382 method.
1383 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1384 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1385 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1386 - Missing the job-restart template.
1387 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1388 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1389 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1390 not specified.
1391 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1392 from getting through.
1393 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1394 stderr.
1395 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1396 job name and display string, if supported.
1397 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1398 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1399 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1400 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1401 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1402 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1403 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1404 UTF-8...
1405 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1406 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1407 could cause cupsd to crash.
1408 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1409 crash.
1410 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1411 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1412 "HH:MM:SS".
1413 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1414 connection structure.
1415 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1416 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1417 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1418 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1419 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1420 is a potential security hole.
1421 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1422 new pstoraster.
1423 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1424 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1425 (/dev/usblp#)
1426 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1427 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1428 release.
1429
1430
1431 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1432
1433 - Documentation updates.
1434 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1435 now compile better under *BSD.)
1436 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1437 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1438 tray was selected.
1439 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1440 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1441 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1442 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1443 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1444 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1445 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1446 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1447 can handle.
1448 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1449 cause cupsd to crash.
1450 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1451 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1452 mime.types file.
1453 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1454 of file to be used as a banner.
1455 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1456 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1457 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1458 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1459 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1460 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1461 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1462 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1463 the IANA registrations.
1464 - New PostScript banner pages.
1465 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1466 filter.
1467 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1468 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1469 code.
1470 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1471 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1472 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1473 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1474 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1475 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1476 accurate width specification.
1477 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1478 files.
1479 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1480 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1481 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1482 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1483 that support it.
1484 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1485 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1486 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1487 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1488 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1489 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1490 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1491 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1492 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1493 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1494
1495
1496 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1497
1498 - Documentation updates.
1499 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1500 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1501 shell and Bash.
1502 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1503 code.
1504 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1505 manufacturer in the PPD.
1506 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1507 output attributes to be set.
1508 - Added banner page support.
1509 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1510 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1511 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1512 timezone offset.
1513 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1514 file is generated).
1515 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1516 printers when they became available.
1517 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1518 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1519 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1520 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1521 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1522 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1523 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1524 (override with -f)
1525 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1526 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1527 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1528 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1529 folks.
1530 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1531 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1532 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1533 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1534 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1535 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1536 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1537 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1538 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1539 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1540 languages (still only have templates for English)
1541 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1542 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1543 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1544 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1545 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1546 needed for some sites)
1547 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1548 templates.
1549 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1550 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1551 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1552 specific printer.
1553 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1554 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1555 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1556 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1557 authentication.
1558 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1559 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1560 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1561 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1562 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1563 filter.
1564 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1565 US-ASCII.
1566 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1567 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1568 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1569 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1570 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1571 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1572 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1573 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1574 basis without environment variables.
1575 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1576
1577
1578 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1579
1580 - Documentation updates.
1581 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1582 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1583 printer.
1584 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1585 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1586 distribution.
1587 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1588 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1589 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1590 to match the IPP spec.
1591 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1592 (previously they would be ignored)
1593 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1594 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1595 machines.
1596 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1597 and printer.
1598 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1599 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1600 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1601 BrowseRelay directives.
1602 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1603 still receives information on remote printers.
1604 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1605 networks)
1606 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1607 of PPD files.
1608 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1609 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1610 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1611 close their input files.
1612
1613
1614 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
1615
1616 - NEW web-based administration interface.
1617 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
1618 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
1619 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
1620 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
1621 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
1622 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
1623 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
1624 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
1625 administration.
1626 - NEW USB backend.
1627 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
1628 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
1629 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
1630 print queue problems that have been reported.
1631 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
1632 was being used.
1633 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
1634 printer.
1635 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
1636 printer.
1637
1638
1639 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.5
1640
1641 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not correctly set the pen color
1642 for pens other than #1.
1643 - The scheduler would only accept 26 simultaneous jobs
1644 under some OS releases (mkstemp() limitation.) It now
1645 handles up to 2^32 simultaneous jobs.
1646 - The PostScript filter loaded the printer's PPD file
1647 twice.
1648 - The PAM authentication code now uses pam_strerror() to
1649 provide a textual error message in the error_log file.
1650 - The scheduler now copies PPD and interface script
1651 files instead of moving them; this fixes installations
1652 with a separate requests directory.
1653 - The PostScript RIP did not generate correct 6-color
1654 output.
1655 - Several filters were marking PPD options twice when
1656 they didn't need to.
1657 - The scheduler did not save the printer or class state
1658 after an accept-jobs or reject-jobs operation.
1659 - The cupsGetDefault() function now ignores the PRINTER
1660 environment variable if it is set to "lp".
1661 - New ippErrorString() function to get textual error
1662 messages.
1663 - Better error reporting in the System V commands.
1664 - The lpadmin and lpstat commands always tried to
1665 connect to the default server.
1666 - The text filter didn't load the charset files from the
1667 correct location.
1668 - Wasn't sending a WWW-Authenticate: field to HTTP
1669 clients when authentication was required.
1670 - httpSeparate() didn't always set the default port
1671 number for known methods.
1672 - The HP-GL/2 filter now looks for "PSwidth,length"
1673 instead of (the correct) "PSlength,width" as
1674 documented by HP. It appears that many major CAD
1675 applications are broken and this change allows the
1676 auto-rotation to work with them.
1677 - The IPP "printer-resolution" option was not being
1678 translated.
1679 - The charset files did not include the Microsoft
1680 "standard" characters from 128 to 159 (unused by the
1681 ISO-8859-x charsets)
1682 - The scheduler was chunking the Content-Type field from
1683 CGI programs; this problem was most noticeable with
1684 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
1685 - By popular demand, the printers, jobs, and classes
1686 CGIs no longer force a reload of the page every 10/30
1687 seconds.
1688 - The scheduler incorrectly required that the IPP client
1689 provide a document-format attribute for the
1690 validate-job operation.
1691 - Clients that sent bad IPP requests without the
1692 required attributes-natural-language and
1693 attributes-charset attributes would crash the
1694 scheduler.
1695
1696
1697 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.4
1698
1699 - Documentation updates.
1700 - Jobs would get stuck in the queue and wouldn't print
1701 until you enabled the queue.
1702 - The lp and lpr commands now catch SIGHUP and SIGINTR.
1703 - The lp and lpr commands now use sigaction or sigset
1704 when available.
1705 - CUPS library updates for WIN32/OS-2
1706
1707
1708 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.3
1709
1710 - Documentation updates.
1711 - The lpq man page was missing.
1712 - The configure script was not properly detecting the
1713 image libraries.
1714 - The top-level makefile was calling "make" instead of
1715 "$(MAKE)".
1716 - PostScript filter fixes for number-up, OutputOrder,
1717 and %Trailer.
1718 - The imagetops filter didn't end the base-85 encoding
1719 properly if the image data was not a multiple of 4
1720 bytes in length.
1721 - The imagetoraster filter didn't generate good banded
1722 RGB or CMY data (was dividing the line width by 4
1723 instead of 3...)
1724 - The imagetoraster filter now records the bounding
1725 box of the image on the page.
1726 - The CUPS image library cache code wasn't working as
1727 designed; images larger than the maximum RIP cache
1728 would eventually thrash using the same cache tile.
1729 - The CUPS image library TIFF loading code didn't
1730 handle unknown resolution units properly; the fixed
1731 code uses a default resolution of 128 PPI.
1732 - cupsGetClasses() and cupsGetPrinters() did not free
1733 existing strings if they ran out of memory.
1734 - The scheduler logs incorrectly contained 3 digits for
1735 the timezone offset instead of 4.
1736 - The scheduler now does a lookup for the default user
1737 and group ID; the previous hardcoded values caused
1738 problems with the LPD backend.
1739 - The cancel-job operation now allows any user in the
1740 system group to cancel any job.
1741 - The cancel-job operation stopped the print queue if
1742 the job was being printed.
1743 - Now only stop printers if the backend fails. If the
1744 filter fails then the failure is noted in the
1745 error_log and printing continues with the next file in
1746 the queue.
1747 - Now log whether a filter fails because of a signal
1748 or because it returned a non-zero exit status.
1749 - The root user now always passes the system group test.
1750 - Printers with an interface script and remote printers
1751 and classes didn't have a printer-make-and-model
1752 attribute.
1753 - Added logging of lost/timed-out remote printers.
1754 - The HP-GL/2 filter was scaling the pen width twice.
1755 - Updated the HP-GL/2 filter to use a single SP (Set
1756 Pen) procedure. This makes the output smaller and is
1757 more appropriate since the filter keeps track of the
1758 pen states already.
1759 - The scheduler didn't handle passwords with spaces.
1760 - The IPP backend now does multiple copies and retries
1761 if the destination server requires it (e.g. HP
1762 JetDirect.)
1763 - The disable command didn't implement the "-c" option
1764 (cancel all jobs.)
1765 - Changed the CMYK generation function for the image file
1766 and PostScript RIPs.
1767 - The lp command didn't support the "-h" option as
1768 documented.
1769 - The AppSocket, IPP, and LPD backends now retry on all
1770 network errors. This should prevent stopped queues
1771 caused by a printer being disconnected from the
1772 network or powered off.
1773 - The scheduler now restarts a job if the corresponding
1774 printer is modified.
1775 - The image RIPs now rotate the image if needed to fit
1776 on the page.
1777
1778
1779 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.2
1780
1781 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't always scale the output
1782 correctly.
1783 - The HP-GL/2 filter now supports changing the page size
1784 automatically when the "fitplot" option is not used.
1785 - The cancel-job operation was expecting a resource name
1786 of the form "/job/#" instead of "/jobs/#"; this
1787 prevented the cancel and lprm commands from working.
1788 - The backends didn't log pages when files were printed
1789 using the "-oraw" option.
1790 - The authorization code did not work with the Slackware
1791 long shadow password package because its crypt() can
1792 return NULL.
1793 - The chunking code didn't work for reading the response
1794 of a POST request.
1795 - cupsGetPPD() now does authentication as needed.
1796 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't work
1797 with some printers (grestoreall would restore the
1798 default blank page and device settings).
1799 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't scale
1800 the pages to fit within the imageable area of the
1801 page.
1802 - Wasn't doing an fchown() on the request files. This
1803 caused problems when the default root account group
1804 and CUPS group were not the same.
1805
1806
1807 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.1
1808
1809 - Documentation updates.
1810 - Fixed a bunch of possible buffer-overflow conditions.
1811 - The scheduler now supports authentication using PAM.
1812 - Updated the Italian message file.
1813 - httpEncode64() didn't add an extra "=" if there was
1814 only one byte in the last three-byte group.
1815 - Now drop any trailing character set from the locale
1816 string (e.g. "en_US.ISO_8859-1" becomes "en_US")
1817 - Fixed "timezone" vs "tm_gmtoff" usage for BSD-based
1818 operating systems.
1819 - Updated IPP security so that "get" operations can be
1820 done from any resource name; this allows the CGIs to
1821 work with printer authentication enabled so long as
1822 authentication isn't turned on for the whole "site".
1823 - The IPP code didn't properly handle the "unsupported"
1824 group; this caused problems with the HP JetDirect since
1825 it doesn't seem to support the "copies" attribute.
1826 - The HTTP chunking code was missing a CR LF pair at the
1827 end of a 0-length chunk.
1828 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle embedded
1829 usernames and passwords in the URI properly.
1830 - Doing "lpadmin -p printer -E" didn't restart printing
1831 if there were pending jobs.
1832 - The cancel-job operation now requires either a
1833 requesting-user-name attribute or an authenticated
1834 username.
1835 - The add-printer code did not report errors if the
1836 interface script or PPD file could not be renamed.
1837 - Request files are now created without world read
1838 permissions.
1839 - Added a cupsLastError() function to the CUPS API to
1840 retrieve the IPP error code from the last request.
1841 - Options are now case-insensitive.
1842 - The lpq command now provides 10 characters for the
1843 username instead of the original (Berkeley standard)
1844 7.
1845 - The cancel command needed a local CUPS server to work
1846 (or the appropriate ServerName in cupsd.conf)
1847 - The cancel and lprm commands didn't report the IPP
1848 error if the job could not be cancelled.
1849 - The lp and lpr commands didn't intercept SIGTERM to
1850 remove temporary files when printing from stdin.
1851 - The lp and lpr commands didn't report the IPP error if
1852 the job could not be printed.
