4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
5
6 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
7 send multiple control files.
8 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
9 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
10 for the "https" scheme.
11 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
12 from the web interface for accounts other than
13 "root".
14 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
15 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
16 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
17 address properly.
18 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
19 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
20 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
21 inside a Location, which is not valid.
22 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
23 information under Linux.
24 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
25 option (if present) in PPD files.
26 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
27 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
28 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
29 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
30 the lppasswd command.
31 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
32 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
33 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
34 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
35 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
36 directory and configuration files are owned by and
37 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
38 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
39 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
40 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
41 restarting cupsd.
42 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
43 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
44 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
45 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
46 for commands on the standard input.
47 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
48 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
49 pointer platforms...
50
51
52 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
53
54 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
55 files.
56 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
57 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
58 destination type for the new destination.
59 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
60 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
61 printer ACLs.
62 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
63 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
64 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
65 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
66 printer-make-and-model attribute.
67
68
69 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
70
71 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
72 files.
73 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
74 files.
75 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
76 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
77 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
78 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
79 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
80 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
81 the device list (lpinfo -m).
82 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
83 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
84 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
85 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
86 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
87 increment. [this caused some versions of the
88 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
89 options exceeded 100...]
90 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
91 was set to "No".
92 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
93 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
94 infinite loop when accepting a request.
95 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
96 functions to make IPP request/response processing
97 faster.
98 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
99 support properly support the "-h" or default
100 server name.
101 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
102 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
103 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
104 support printer instances.
105 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
106 underline formatting.
107 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
108 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
109 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
110 (-1).
111 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
112 from printing to printers in that class.
113 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
114 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
115 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
116 slower systems since more information had to be
117 transferred from server to client.
118 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
119 things like the job title. This had the potential for
120 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
121 machine); bug report from SuSE.
122 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
123 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
124 processing.
125 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
126 to stderr instead of stdout...
127 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
128 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
129 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
130 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
131 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
132 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
133 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
134 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
135 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
136 the Spanish banner files.
137 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
138 language abbreviation to use for all supported
139 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
140 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
141 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
142 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
143 anonymous printing (no username specified).
144 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
145 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
146 information when printing via LPD.
147 - Added many warning and informational messages
148 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
149 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
150 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
151 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
152 provided.
153 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
154 cupsd.conf.
155 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
156 32k.
157 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
158 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
159 possible.
160 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
161 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
162 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
163 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
164 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
165 long values.
166 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
167 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
168 to CGIs.
169 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
170 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
171 time.
172 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
173 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
174 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
175 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
176 result in a blank page being output...
177 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
178 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
179 page comments when printing files directly...)
180 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
181 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
182 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
183 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
184 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
185 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
186 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
187 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
188 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
189 original destination.
190 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
191 requested-attributes attribute in the
192 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
193 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
194 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
195 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
196 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
197 prints.
198
199
200 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
201
202 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
203 makefiles to install files properly.
204
205
206 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
207
208 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
209 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
210 to override the classification of individual jobs.
211 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
212 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
213 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
214 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
215 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
216 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
217 server.
218 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
219 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
220 with some types of flow control.
221 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
222 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
223 server.
224 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
225 lines in the configuration files.
226 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
227 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
228 from the server.
229 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
230 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
231 to the file: pseudo-backend.
232 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
233 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
234 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
235 script. Previously the job's document format was
236 used, which was incorrect.
237 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
238 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
239 "raw" model from the command-line.
240 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
241 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
242 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
243 printers.
244 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
245 Chinese text support compiled into it.
246 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
247 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
248 which caused some confusion... :)
249 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
250 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
251
252
253 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
254
255 - The configure script did not substitute the
256 correct user and group names.
257 - The configure script did not use the full path
258 to the install-sh script when it was used.
259 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
260 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
261 duplexing.
262 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
263 distribution.
264 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
265 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
266 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
267 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
268 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
269 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
270 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
271 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
272 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
273 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
274 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
275 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
276
277
278 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
279
280 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
281 approach for the various tests.
282 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
283 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
284 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
285 options to specify the default user and group for
286 CUPS.
287 - Added AIX shared library support.
288 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
289 parallel ports.
290 - Now use install program or script to install
291 directories, files, and symlinks.
292 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
293 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
294 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
295 print.
296 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
297 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
298 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
299 64-bit boundary.
300 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
301 skip the Digest keyword.
302 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
303 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
304 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
305 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
306 authentication from passwd.md5.
307 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
308 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
309 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
310 PPD files should start much faster now.
311 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
312 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
313 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
314 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
315 times.
316 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
317 code if an error occurred.
318 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
319 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
320 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
321 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
322 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
323 eliminates the buffer start bug.
324 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
325 the receiving device didn't support the copies
326 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
327 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
328 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
329 copies would come out instead of N.
330 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
331 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
332 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
333 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
334 output an even number of pages.
335 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
336 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
337 from being cancelled early.
338 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
339 instances, and options that are not defined by the
340 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
341 options from being used in individual user accounts.
342 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
343 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
344 "ESC i" graphics command.
345 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
346 printers to a local class.
347 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
348 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
349 - The scheduler did not load or save the
350 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
351 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
352 printers that were part of a class.
353 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
354 printer more than once.
355 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
356 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
357 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
358 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
359 account.
360 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
361 against a location of "/printers/name".
362 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
363 upgrades properly.
364 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
365 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
366 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
367 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
368 when using Digest authentication.
369 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
370 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
371 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
372 file.
373 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
374 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
375 server.
376 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
377 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
378 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
379 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
380 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
381 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
382 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
383 not the empty string.
384 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
385 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
386 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
387 unsupported attributes which should normally be
388 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
389 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
390 supported file types into the
391 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
392 clients to not send the local file type (such as
393 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
394 corresponding bad output in some cases.
395 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
396 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
397 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
398 or behave irratically.
399 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
400 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
401 specified.
402 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
403 completed or reported as "pending-held".
404 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
405 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
406 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
407 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
408 retrieve and update the server configuration files
409 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
410 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
411 location or description of the printer.
412 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
413 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
414 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
415 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
416 multiple groups.
417 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
418 Apache.
419 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
420 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
421 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
422 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
423 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
424 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
425 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
426 the page-ranges option from working properly.
427 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
428 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
429 Ghostscript code.
430 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
431 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
432 size instead of percent of page size.)
433 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
434 instead of root.
435 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
436 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
437 size options.
438 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
439 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
440 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
441 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
442 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
443 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
444 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
445 character.
446
447
448 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
449
450 - Updated configure script to check for /etc/pam.d and
451 to only set PAMDIR if it exists.
452 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
453 package for pstoraster.
454 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
455 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
456 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
457 Guiliani for finding this bug!
458 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
459 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
460 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
461 - The IPP backend did not handle the
462 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
463 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
464 to stop on client machines when the server had job
465 history disabled.
466 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
467 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
468 connections initially.
469 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
470 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
471 throughout.
472 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
473 Richard Begg.)
474 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
475 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
476 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
477 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
478 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
479 in the first page instead of the document setup section
480 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
481 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
482 #54489...
483 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
484 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
485 (only affects page-label and Classification
486 options.)
487 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
488 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
489 - The scheduler would not force the default job sheets
490 for printers to the current classification setting.
491 - Added a new ippFindNextAttribute() function to the
492 CUPS API.
493 - ppdEmitJCL() now strips any leading path info from
494 the title string. This is only an issue for non-CUPS
495 clients that don't do this already...
496 - Other pstops fixed from Helge Blischke for printing
497 non-conforming documents.
498 - The MaxJobs parameter was not reset when loading the
499 cupsd.conf file.
500
501
502 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
503
504 - Configuration script changes, including new
505 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
506 documentation and web content according to your
507 favorite version of the FHS.
508 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
509 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
510 test CUPS prior to installation.
511 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
512 insensitive to match Apache.
513 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
514 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
515 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
516 directives.
517 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
518 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
519 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
520 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
521 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
522 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
523 might not work with some LPD servers...)
524 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
525 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
526 formats are supported at present.)
527 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
528 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
529 all browsing off.
530 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
531 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
532 document.
533 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
534 to requests without the attributes-charset or
535 attributes-natural-language attributes.
536 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
537 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
538 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
539 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
540 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
541 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
542 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
543 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
544 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
545 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
546 server.
547 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
548 PJL commands from PPD files.
549 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
550 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
551 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
552 cancel all jobs on all printers.
553 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
554 the next/current job in the queue.
555 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
556 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
557 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
558 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
559 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
560 for Sun Raster images.
561 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
562 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
563 function.
564 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
565 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
566 command when printing to USB devices.
567 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
568 the cupsd.conf file.
569 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
570 which could block if insufficient entropy information
571 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
572 /dev/urandom.
573 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
574 httpGetSubField().
575 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
576 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
577 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
578 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
579 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
580 CGI was currently running.
581 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
582 option=true or option=false.
583 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
584 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
585 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
586 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
587 could cause it to crash.
588 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
589 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
590 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
591 attribute when altering a job.
592 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
593 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
594 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
595 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
596 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
597 addresses.
598 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
599 the current classification on each page.
600 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
601 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
602 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
603 for CGI programs when a client connects using
604 encryption.
605 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
606 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
607 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
608 support instances.
609 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
610 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
611 and should never be used in a production environment.
612 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
613 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
614 interface.
615 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
616 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
617 prevent caching of the results.
618 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
619 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
620 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
621 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
622 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
623 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
624 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
625 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
626 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
627 submitted by a user.
628 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
629 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
630 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
631 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
632 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
633 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
634 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
635 embedded spaces.
636 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
637 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
638 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
639 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
640 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
641 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
642 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
643 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
644 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
645 by the GIMP.
646 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
647 bypassed the authentication checks.
648 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
649 to the client and end the current request. This caused
650 a race condition between the client and server for the
651 upgrade to TLS.
652 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
653 the pstops filter.
654 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
655 the custom page size in the raster header.
656 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
657 size to the size of the printed image.
658 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
659 which are required by some printers.
660 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
661 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
662 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
663 DSC).
664 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
665 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
666 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
667 driver.
668 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
669 font list was not terminated by a newline.
670 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
671 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
672 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
673 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
674 workaround using a static variable has been added to
675 address this problem.
676 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
677 that could cause printers to disappear or the
678 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
679 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
680 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
681 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
682 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
683 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
684 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
685 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
686 to manage print jobs.
687 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
688 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
689 of 0 length.
690 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
691 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
692 Guiliani for finding this bug!
693
694
695 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
696
697 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
698 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
699 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
700 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
701 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
702 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
703 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
704 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
705 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
706 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
707 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
708 /dev/ulptN.
709 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
710 classes it was a member of.
711 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
712 implicit status of a class.
713 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
714 from implicit classes.
715 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
716 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
717 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
718 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
719 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
720 of the scheduler.
721 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
722 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
723 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
724 the /#copies variable anymore.
725 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
726 option.
727 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
728 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
729 for a bad-request error)
730 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
731 unimplemented, not invalid.
732 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
733 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
734 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
735 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
736 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
737 (pstoraster).
738 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
739 which are not used.
740 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
741 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
742 cgi_initialize_string().
743 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
744 ippSetCGIVars()
745 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
746 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
747 leaks.
748 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
749 fails.
750 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
751 setuid() calls.
752 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
753 calls.
754 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
755 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
756 bad input.
757 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
758 missing hex digits.
759
760
761 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
762
763 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
764 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
765 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
766 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
767 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
768 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
769 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
770 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
771 corruption on many printers)
772 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
773 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
774 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
775 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
776 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
777 requests.
778 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
779 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
780 was lost.
781 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
782 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
783 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
784 to be used for a socket.
785 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
786 a set were numeric or string types.
787 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
788 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
789 reading *.conf files.
790 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
791 same logic as GET requests.
792 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
793 /index.html to requested directory name.
794 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
795 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
796 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
797 instead of mode 0600.
798 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
799 instead of 0600.
800 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
801 system name in log filenames.
802 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
803 and hex strings.
804
805
806 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
807
808 - Added configure check for getting the correct
809 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
810 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
811
812
813 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
814
815 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
816 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
817 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
818 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
819 filter programs properly.
820 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
821 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
822 versions of GCC.
823 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
824 cancelled in StartJob().
825 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
826 written with restricted permissions.
827 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
828 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
829 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
830 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
831 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
832 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
833 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
834 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
835 syslog file.
836 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
837 and only specifies the document format if it is
838 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
839 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
840 capabilities of CUPS servers.
841 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
842 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
843 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
844 signals and eject the current page when a job is
845 cancelled.
846 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
847 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
848 sporatic web interface problems.
849 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
850 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
851 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
852 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
853 whitespace.
854 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
855 instead of an integer.
856 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
857 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
858 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
859 and user-level access control.
860 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
861 encryption.
862 - The client code did not consume the response to the
863 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
864 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
865 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
866 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
867 to the man page.
868 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
869 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
870 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
871 queued for a printer.
872 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
873 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
874 reporting.
875
876
877 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
878
879 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
880 code.
881 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
882 check in backend/serial.c.
883 - Updated configure script handling of data,
884 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
885 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
886 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
887 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
888 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
889 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
890 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
891 anyways)
892
893
894 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
895
896 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
897 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
898 for run level 5.
899 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
900 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
901 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
902 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
903 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
904 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
905 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
906
907
908 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
909
910 - Security updates - new default configuration does
911 not broadcast printer information and only allows
912 access from the local system.
913 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
914 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
915 - Documentation updates.
916 - Makefile/configure script updates.
917 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
918 RedHat or Mandrake.
919 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
920 warnings.
921 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
922 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
923 hex)
924 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
925 crash the server.
926 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
927 correct value length for name-with-language and
928 text-with-language attributes.
929 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
930 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
931 efficient IPP server performance.
932 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
933 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
934 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
935 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
936 attack.
937 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
938 data required when getting the list of printer or
939 class information. This should improve performance
940 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
941 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
942 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
943 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
944 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
945 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
946 override the lpoptions default printer.
947 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
948 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
949 attributes.
950 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
951 did not check for the correct value for collated
952 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
953 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
954 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
955 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
956 scale mode 2.
957 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
958 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
959 that started with a number.
960 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
961 multiple times in name-with-language and
962 text-with-language attributes.
963 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
964 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
965 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
966 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
967 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
968 in the ppd_file_t structure.
969 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
970 close the spool directory.
971 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
972 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
973 larger than the source string(s); this protects
974 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
975 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
976 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
977 larger than the source string; this protects
978 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
979 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
980 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
981 - The directory services code was copying instead of
982 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
983 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
984 remote printers.
985 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
986 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
987 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
988 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
989 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
990 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
991 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
992 3-argument contains() function.
993 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
994 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
995 database containing 0 printers.
996 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
997 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
998 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
999 printer was always busy.
1000 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1001 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1002 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1003 jobs.
1004 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1005 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1006 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1007 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1008 57600 and 115200 baud.
1009 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1010 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1011 option in the device URI.
1012 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1013 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1014 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1015 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1016 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1017 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1018 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1019 job attributes to be changed.
1020 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1021 web interface.
1022 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1023 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1024 since they do not map)
1025 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1026 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1027 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1028 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1029 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1030 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1031 child signals while loading devices.
1032 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1033 and classes.
1034 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1035 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1036 driver dithering code.
1037 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1038 after the first active printer.
1039 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1040 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1041 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1042 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1043 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1044 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1045 accepted null values.
1046 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1047 of the backends.
1048 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1049 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1050 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1051 is set in the plot file.
1052 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1053 user name, causing it to always fail.
1054 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1055 under Windows.
1056 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1057 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1058 didn't handle control file job information in any
1059 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1060 a file.
1061 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1062 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1063 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1064 printing on some systems.
1065 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1066 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1067 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1068 it.

1071 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1072
1073 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1074 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1075 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1076 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1077 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1078 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1079 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1080 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1081 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1082 order, which prevented remote printing.
1083 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1084 IPP requests and language information when closing
1085 a client connection.
1086 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1087 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1088 compatibles)
1089 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1090 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1091 on many OS's.
1092 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1093 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1094 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1095 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1096 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1097 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1098 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1099 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1100 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1101 PPD files.
1102 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1103 when the destination printer supported it. This
1104 caused problems when printing text files to other
1105 CUPS servers.
1106 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1107 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1108 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1109 the dates.)
1110 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1111 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1112 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1113 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1114 be clipped.
1115
1116
1117 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1118
1119 - Makefile fixes.
1120 - RPM spec file changes.
1121 - Documentation updates.
1122 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1123 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1124 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1125 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1126 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1127 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1128 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1129 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1130 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1131 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1132 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1133 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1134 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1135 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1136 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1137 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1138 specified.
1139 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1140 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1141 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1142 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1143 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1144 cupsd.conf.
1145 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1146 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1147 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1148 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1149 filter mode 'l'.
1150 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1151 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1152 defaults for all print queues.
1153 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1154 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1155 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1156 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1157 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1158 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1159 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1160 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1161 printer was defined with the same name.
1162 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1163 remove options for a printer or instance.
1164 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1165 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1166 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1167 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1168 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1169 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1170 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1171 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1172 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1173 job-printer-uri attribute.
1174 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1175 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1176 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1177 remote printers.
1178 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1179 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1180 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1181 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1182 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1183 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1184 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1185 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1186 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1187 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1188 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1189 printer set using lpoptions.
1190 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1191 list the printer-specific options and their current
1192 settings.
1193 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1194 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1195 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1196 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1197 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1198 text printing.
1199 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1200 instances.
1201 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1202 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1203 limit.
1204 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1205 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1206 new client connections.
1207 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1208 required pagedevice parameters.
1209 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1210 under Linux.
1211 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1212 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1213 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1214 would stop processing.
1215 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1216 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1217 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1218 that was currently printing a job.
1219 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1220 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1221 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1222 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1223 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1224 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1225 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1226 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1227 option values separated by commas.
1228 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1229 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1230 and free bytes once a minute)
1231 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1232 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1233 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1234 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1235 printers.
1236 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1237 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1238 requests from that address to the server name.
1239 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1240 server.domain.com to localhost.
1241 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1242 the previous device and driver settings (except
1243 for serial ports.)
1244 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1245 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1246 after a job is completed when job file history is
1247 turned off.
1248 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1249 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1250 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1251 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1252 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1253 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1254 for "lpstat -v" output.
1255 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1256 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1257 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1258 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1259 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1260 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1261 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1262 by itself without quoting.
1263
1264
1265 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1266
1267 - Makefile/configure fixes
1268 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1269 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1270 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1271 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1272 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1273 number generator for certificates.
1274 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1275 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1276 the filter user, typically "lp".
1277 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1278 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1279 user.
1280 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1281 function.
1282 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1283 standard input.
1284 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1285 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1286 page header as needed.
1287 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1288 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1289 immediately when last-document was true.
1290 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1291 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1292 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1293 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1294 and many PS printers.
1295 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1296 filters.
1297 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1298 debugging problems.
1299 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1300 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1301 calling problem...)
1302 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1303 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1304 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1305 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1306 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1307 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1308 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1309 by default.
1310 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1311 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1312 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1313 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1314 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1315 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1316 CUPS software.
1317
1318
1319 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1320
1321 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1322 old PDF filter files.
1323 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1324 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1325 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1326 network devices.
1327 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1328 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1329 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1330 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1331 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1332 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1333 is defined otherwise.
1334 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1335 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1336 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1337 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1338 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1339 0-length PPD file was read.
1340 - The image filters were not handling images with
1341 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1342 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1343 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1344 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1345 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1346 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1347 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1348 documents if they don't have it.
1349 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1350 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1351 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1352 --prefix was specified.
1353 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1354 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1355 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1356 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1357 color mode until it can be fixed.
1358 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1359 correctly in all cases.
1360 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1361 time in banner files.
1362
1363
1364 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1365
1366 - Documentation updates.
1367 - Configuration script updates.
1368 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1369 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1370 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1371 ppd_file_t structure.
1372 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1373 before it was used.
1374 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1375 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1376 the localhost address.
1377 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1378 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1379 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1380 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1381 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1382 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1383 PDF support.
1384 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1385 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1386 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1387 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1388 pstoraster.
1389 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1390 the user.
1391 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1392 not running.
1393 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1394 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1395 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1396 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1397 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1398 setpagedevice operator.
1399 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1400 the default banner pages.
1401 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1402 "position" option.
1403 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1404 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1405 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1406 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1407 "printer@server") when possible.
1408 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1409 with no PageSize attributes.
1410 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1411 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1412 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1413 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1414 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1415 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1416 cupsd.
1417 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1418 locations.
1419 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1420 variables to specify installation directories as
1421 needed.
1422 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1423 when the scheduler is started.
1424 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1425 printer.
1426 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1427 printer are automatically deleted.
1428 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1429 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1430 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1431 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1432 request.
1433 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1434 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1435 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1436 is "no-hold".
1437 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1438 responses.
1439 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1440 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1441 printer.
1442 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1443 request fails.
1444 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1445 printer and class names.
1446 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1447 received in a POST request.
1448
1449
1450 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1451
1452 - Documentation updates.
1453 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1454 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1455 method.
1456 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1457 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1458 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1459 - Missing the job-restart template.
1460 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1461 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1462 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1463 not specified.
1464 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1465 from getting through.
1466 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1467 stderr.
1468 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1469 job name and display string, if supported.
1470 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1471 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1472 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1473 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1474 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1475 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1476 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1477 UTF-8...
1478 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1479 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1480 could cause cupsd to crash.
1481 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1482 crash.
1483 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1484 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1485 "HH:MM:SS".
1486 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1487 connection structure.
1488 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1489 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1490 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1491 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1492 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1493 is a potential security hole.
1494 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1495 new pstoraster.
1496 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1497 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1498 (/dev/usblp#)
1499 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1500 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1501 release.
1502
1503
1504 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1505
1506 - Documentation updates.
1507 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1508 now compile better under *BSD.)
1509 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1510 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1511 tray was selected.
1512 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1513 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1514 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1515 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1516 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1517 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1518 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1519 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1520 can handle.
1521 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1522 cause cupsd to crash.
1523 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1524 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1525 mime.types file.
1526 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1527 of file to be used as a banner.
1528 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1529 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1530 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1531 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1532 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1533 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1534 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1535 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1536 the IANA registrations.
1537 - New PostScript banner pages.
1538 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1539 filter.
1540 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1541 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1542 code.
1543 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1544 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1545 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1546 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1547 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1548 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1549 accurate width specification.
1550 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1551 files.
1552 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1553 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1554 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1555 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1556 that support it.
1557 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1558 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1559 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1560 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1561 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1562 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1563 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1564 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1565 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1566 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.

1569 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1570
1571 - Documentation updates.
1572 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1573 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1574 shell and Bash.
1575 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1576 code.
1577 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1578 manufacturer in the PPD.
1579 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1580 output attributes to be set.
1581 - Added banner page support.
1582 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1583 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1584 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1585 timezone offset.
1586 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1587 file is generated).
1588 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1589 printers when they became available.
1590 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1591 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1592 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1593 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1594 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1595 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1596 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1597 (override with -f)
1598 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1599 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1600 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1601 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1602 folks.
1603 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1604 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1605 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1606 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1607 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1608 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1609 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1610 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1611 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1612 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1613 languages (still only have templates for English)
1614 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1615 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1616 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1617 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1618 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1619 needed for some sites)
1620 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1621 templates.
1622 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1623 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1624 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1625 specific printer.
1626 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1627 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1628 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1629 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1630 authentication.
1631 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1632 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1633 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1634 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1635 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1636 filter.
1637 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1638 US-ASCII.
1639 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1640 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1641 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1642 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1643 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1644 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1645 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1646 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1647 basis without environment variables.
1648 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1649
1650
1651 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1652
1653 - Documentation updates.
1654 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1655 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1656 printer.
1657 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1658 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1659 distribution.
1660 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1661 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1662 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1663 to match the IPP spec.
1664 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1665 (previously they would be ignored)
1666 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1667 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1668 machines.
1669 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1670 and printer.
1671 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1672 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1673 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1674 BrowseRelay directives.
1675 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1676 still receives information on remote printers.
1677 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1678 networks)
1679 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1680 of PPD files.
1681 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1682 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1683 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1684 close their input files.
1685
1686
1687 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
1688
1689 - NEW web-based administration interface.
1690 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
1691 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
1692 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
1693 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
1694 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
1695 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
1696 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
1697 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
1698 administration.
1699 - NEW USB backend.
1700 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
1701 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
1702 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
1703 print queue problems that have been reported.
1704 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
1705 was being used.
1706 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
1707 printer.
1708 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
1709 printer.
1710
1711
1712 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.5
1713
1714 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not correctly set the pen color
1715 for pens other than #1.
1716 - The scheduler would only accept 26 simultaneous jobs
1717 under some OS releases (mkstemp() limitation.) It now
1718 handles up to 2^32 simultaneous jobs.
1719 - The PostScript filter loaded the printer's PPD file
1720 twice.
1721 - The PAM authentication code now uses pam_strerror() to
1722 provide a textual error message in the error_log file.
1723 - The scheduler now copies PPD and interface script
1724 files instead of moving them; this fixes installations
1725 with a separate requests directory.
1726 - The PostScript RIP did not generate correct 6-color
1727 output.
1728 - Several filters were marking PPD options twice when
1729 they didn't need to.
1730 - The scheduler did not save the printer or class state
1731 after an accept-jobs or reject-jobs operation.
1732 - The cupsGetDefault() function now ignores the PRINTER
1733 environment variable if it is set to "lp".
1734 - New ippErrorString() function to get textual error
1735 messages.
1736 - Better error reporting in the System V commands.
1737 - The lpadmin and lpstat commands always tried to
1738 connect to the default server.
1739 - The text filter didn't load the charset files from the
1740 correct location.
1741 - Wasn't sending a WWW-Authenticate: field to HTTP
1742 clients when authentication was required.
1743 - httpSeparate() didn't always set the default port
1744 number for known methods.
1745 - The HP-GL/2 filter now looks for "PSwidth,length"
1746 instead of (the correct) "PSlength,width" as
1747 documented by HP. It appears that many major CAD
1748 applications are broken and this change allows the
1749 auto-rotation to work with them.
1750 - The IPP "printer-resolution" option was not being
1751 translated.
1752 - The charset files did not include the Microsoft
1753 "standard" characters from 128 to 159 (unused by the
1754 ISO-8859-x charsets)
1755 - The scheduler was chunking the Content-Type field from
1756 CGI programs; this problem was most noticeable with
1757 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
1758 - By popular demand, the printers, jobs, and classes
1759 CGIs no longer force a reload of the page every 10/30
1760 seconds.
1761 - The scheduler incorrectly required that the IPP client
1762 provide a document-format attribute for the
1763 validate-job operation.
1764 - Clients that sent bad IPP requests without the
1765 required attributes-natural-language and
1766 attributes-charset attributes would crash the
1767 scheduler.
1768
1769
1770 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.4
1771
1772 - Documentation updates.
1773 - Jobs would get stuck in the queue and wouldn't print
1774 until you enabled the queue.
1775 - The lp and lpr commands now catch SIGHUP and SIGINTR.
1776 - The lp and lpr commands now use sigaction or sigset
1777 when available.
1778 - CUPS library updates for WIN32/OS-2
1779
1780
1781 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.3
1782
1783 - Documentation updates.
1784 - The lpq man page was missing.
1785 - The configure script was not properly detecting the
1786 image libraries.
1787 - The top-level makefile was calling "make" instead of
1788 "$(MAKE)".
1789 - PostScript filter fixes for number-up, OutputOrder,
1790 and %Trailer.
1791 - The imagetops filter didn't end the base-85 encoding
1792 properly if the image data was not a multiple of 4
1793 bytes in length.
1794 - The imagetoraster filter didn't generate good banded
1795 RGB or CMY data (was dividing the line width by 4
1796 instead of 3...)
1797 - The imagetoraster filter now records the bounding
1798 box of the image on the page.
1799 - The CUPS image library cache code wasn't working as
1800 designed; images larger than the maximum RIP cache
1801 would eventually thrash using the same cache tile.
1802 - The CUPS image library TIFF loading code didn't
1803 handle unknown resolution units properly; the fixed
1804 code uses a default resolution of 128 PPI.
1805 - cupsGetClasses() and cupsGetPrinters() did not free
1806 existing strings if they ran out of memory.
1807 - The scheduler logs incorrectly contained 3 digits for
1808 the timezone offset instead of 4.
1809 - The scheduler now does a lookup for the default user
1810 and group ID; the previous hardcoded values caused
1811 problems with the LPD backend.
1812 - The cancel-job operation now allows any user in the
1813 system group to cancel any job.
1814 - The cancel-job operation stopped the print queue if
1815 the job was being printed.
1816 - Now only stop printers if the backend fails. If the
1817 filter fails then the failure is noted in the
1818 error_log and printing continues with the next file in
1819 the queue.
1820 - Now log whether a filter fails because of a signal
1821 or because it returned a non-zero exit status.
1822 - The root user now always passes the system group test.
1823 - Printers with an interface script and remote printers
1824 and classes didn't have a printer-make-and-model
1825 attribute.
1826 - Added logging of lost/timed-out remote printers.
1827 - The HP-GL/2 filter was scaling the pen width twice.
1828 - Updated the HP-GL/2 filter to use a single SP (Set
1829 Pen) procedure. This makes the output smaller and is
1830 more appropriate since the filter keeps track of the
1831 pen states already.
1832 - The scheduler didn't handle passwords with spaces.
1833 - The IPP backend now does multiple copies and retries
1834 if the destination server requires it (e.g. HP
1835 JetDirect.)
1836 - The disable command didn't implement the "-c" option
1837 (cancel all jobs.)
1838 - Changed the CMYK generation function for the image file
1839 and PostScript RIPs.
1840 - The lp command didn't support the "-h" option as
1841 documented.
1842 - The AppSocket, IPP, and LPD backends now retry on all
1843 network errors. This should prevent stopped queues
1844 caused by a printer being disconnected from the
1845 network or powered off.
1846 - The scheduler now restarts a job if the corresponding
1847 printer is modified.
1848 - The image RIPs now rotate the image if needed to fit
1849 on the page.
1850
1851
1852 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.2
1853
1854 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't always scale the output
1855 correctly.
1856 - The HP-GL/2 filter now supports changing the page size
1857 automatically when the "fitplot" option is not used.
1858 - The cancel-job operation was expecting a resource name
1859 of the form "/job/#" instead of "/jobs/#"; this
1860 prevented the cancel and lprm commands from working.
1861 - The backends didn't log pages when files were printed
1862 using the "-oraw" option.
1863 - The authorization code did not work with the Slackware
1864 long shadow password package because its crypt() can
1865 return NULL.
1866 - The chunking code didn't work for reading the response
1867 of a POST request.
1868 - cupsGetPPD() now does authentication as needed.
1869 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't work
1870 with some printers (grestoreall would restore the
1871 default blank page and device settings).
1872 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't scale
1873 the pages to fit within the imageable area of the
1874 page.
1875 - Wasn't doing an fchown() on the request files. This
1876 caused problems when the default root account group
1877 and CUPS group were not the same.
1878
1879
1880 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.1
1881
1882 - Documentation updates.
1883 - Fixed a bunch of possible buffer-overflow conditions.
1884 - The scheduler now supports authentication using PAM.
1885 - Updated the Italian message file.
1886 - httpEncode64() didn't add an extra "=" if there was
1887 only one byte in the last three-byte group.
1888 - Now drop any trailing character set from the locale
1889 string (e.g. "en_US.ISO_8859-1" becomes "en_US")
1890 - Fixed "timezone" vs "tm_gmtoff" usage for BSD-based
1891 operating systems.
1892 - Updated IPP security so that "get" operations can be
1893 done from any resource name; this allows the CGIs to
1894 work with printer authentication enabled so long as
1895 authentication isn't turned on for the whole "site".
1896 - The IPP code didn't properly handle the "unsupported"
1897 group; this caused problems with the HP JetDirect since
1898 it doesn't seem to support the "copies" attribute.
1899 - The HTTP chunking code was missing a CR LF pair at the
1900 end of a 0-length chunk.
1901 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle embedded
1902 usernames and passwords in the URI properly.
1903 - Doing "lpadmin -p printer -E" didn't restart printing
1904 if there were pending jobs.
1905 - The cancel-job operation now requires either a
1906 requesting-user-name attribute or an authenticated
1907 username.
1908 - The add-printer code did not report errors if the
1909 interface script or PPD file could not be renamed.
1910 - Request files are now created without world read
1911 permissions.
1912 - Added a cupsLastError() function to the CUPS API to
1913 retrieve the IPP error code from the last request.
1914 - Options are now case-insensitive.
1915 - The lpq command now provides 10 characters for the
1916 username instead of the original (Berkeley standard)
1917 7.
1918 - The cancel command needed a local CUPS server to work
1919 (or the appropriate ServerName in cupsd.conf)
1920 - The cancel and lprm commands didn't report the IPP
1921 error if the job could not be cancelled.
1922 - The lp and lpr commands didn't intercept SIGTERM to
1923 remove temporary files when printing from stdin.
1924 - The lp and lpr commands didn't report the IPP error if
1925 the job could not be printed.
