4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
5
6 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
7 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
8 IRIX (STR #422)
9 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
10 to be consistent with the way other signals are
11 handled (STR #423)
12 - The cupsaddsmb program didn't export the new CUPS
13 driver for Windows properly (STR #390)
14 - The ppdOpen() functions did not issue an error when a
15 translation string exceeded the maximum allowed by the
16 Adobe PPD specification (STR #399)
17 - The default landscape orientation was not the same as
18 that defined in the PPD file (STR #397)
19 - Updated the pstoraster patch files and CUPS driver to
20 work with Ghostscript 8 (STR #402)
21 - The hpgltops filter did not skip PJL commands (STR
22 #379)
23
24
25 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc6
26
27 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
28 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
29 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
30 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
31 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
32 the error_log file (STR #337)
33 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
34 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
35 defined PageSize (STR #365)
36 - The IPP code did not wait for a reply indefinitely on
37 HTTP connections in "blocking" mode (STR #377)
38 - The web interfaces did not rewrite the default printer
39 URI properly (STR #369 and #299)
40 - The LPD backend passed the C and L commands in the
41 wrong order (STR #378)
42 - The Dymo label printer driver did not set the label
43 length properly (STR #373)
44 - The scheduler did not support job IDs higher than
45 99999 (STR #371)
46 - The Visual C++ project files did not work (STR #366)
47 - The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
48 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
49 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
50 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
51 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
52 #354)
53 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
54 cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
55 localization data (STR #354)
56 - The scheduler did not return the
57 job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
58 attributes (STR #356)
59 - The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
60 driver for Windows (STR #357)
61
62
63 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
64
65 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
66 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
67 enabled (STR #259)
68 - The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
69 were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
70 - The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
71 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
72
73
74 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
75
76 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
77 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
78 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
79 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
80 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
81 names, which caused some problems with the generated
82 URLs (STR #320)
83 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
84 option (STR #331)
85
86
87 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
88
89 - More SLP changes (STR #259)
90 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
91 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
92 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
93 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
94 arguments (STR #313)
95 - The web admin interface did not display an error
96 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
97 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
98 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
99 #292)
100
101
102 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
103
104 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
105 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
106 printers that returned status info but were not ready
107 for more print data (STR #287)
108 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
109 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
110 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
111 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
112 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
113 #289)
114 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
115 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
116 10.3 (STR #270)
117 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
118 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
119 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
120 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
121 very difficult (STR #277)
122 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
123 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
124 the filter group (STR #283)
125 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
126 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
127 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
128 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
129 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
130 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
131 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
132 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
133 language localization for a request; this caused extra
134 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
135 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
136 one language specified (STR #267)
137
138
139 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
140
141 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
142 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
143 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
144 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
145 is 64 bits (STR #262)
146 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
147 Hat (STR #253)
148 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
149 the standard constants when reporting printer status
150 bits on Linux (STR #254)
151 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
152 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
153 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
154 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
155 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
156 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
157 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
158 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
159 URI (STR #247)
160 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
161 (STR #249)
162 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
163 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
164 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
165 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
166 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
167 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
168 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
169 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
170 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
171 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
172 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
173 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
174 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
175 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
176 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
177 (STR #224)
178 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
179 9 (STR #217)
180 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
181 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
182 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
183 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
184 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
185 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
186 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
187 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
188 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
189 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
190 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
191 level (STR #212)
192 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
193 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
194 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
195 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
196 (STR #209)
197 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
198 page device attributes (STR #208)
199 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
200 the user already had specified the proper orientation
201 (STR #207)
202 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
203 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
204 #193)
205 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
206 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
207 files (STR #192)
208 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
209 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
210 programs rather than the port that the browser
211 connected to (STR #103)
212 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
213 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
214 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
215 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
216 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
217 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
218 files define the job-priority and
219 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
220 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
221 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
222 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
223 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
224 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
225 caused problems with some implementations of the
226 standard C library. (STR #159)
227 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
228 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
229 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
230 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
231 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
232 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
233 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
234 signal handlers (STR #190)
235 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
236 strings if the description string is not available
237 (STR #174)
238 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
239 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
240 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
241 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
242 group (STR #158)
243 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
244 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
245 #147)
246 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
247 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
248 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
249 - Printers with special characters in their names were
250 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
251 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
252 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
253 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
254 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
255 not blank (STR #152)
256 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
257 files did not get installed (STR #148)
258 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
259 without shared libraries (STR #149)
260 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
261 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
262 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
263 capability bit (STR #144)
264 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
265 amount of memory (STR #145)
266 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
267 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
268 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
269 #139)
270 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
271 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
272 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
273 block waiting for data (STR #132)
274 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
275 command after the PJL language escape to work around
276 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
277 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
278 value properly (STR #127)
279 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
280 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
281
282
283 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
284
285 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
286 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
287 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
288 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
289 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
290 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
291 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
292 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
293 options (STR #123)
294 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
295 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
296 #117)
297 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
298 - The configure script didn't specify the static
299 libraries properly when configuring with the
300 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
301 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
302 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
303 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
304 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
305 message (STR #94)
306 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
307
308
309 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
310
311 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
312 classes would get double banner pages for each
313 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
314 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
315 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
316 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
317 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
318 next restart (STR #82)
319 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
320 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
321 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
322 #70)
323 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
324 language preference (STR #78)
325 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
326 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
327 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
328 in banner pages (STR #77)
329 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
330 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
331 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
332 annoying error message (STR #45)
333
334
335 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
336
337 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
338 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
339 #59)
340 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
341 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
342 - The German web interface templates did not use the
343 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
344 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
345 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
346 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
347 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
348 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
349
350
351 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
352
353 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
354 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
355 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
356 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
357 user - STR #48)
358 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
359 (STR #46)
360 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
361 Gilles QUERRET)
362 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
363 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
364 was handled (STR #47)
365 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
366 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
367 interface (STR #40)
368 - The scheduler did not put the
369 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
370 attributes group.
371 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
372 defined by the IPP implementation document.
373 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
374 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
375 and #39)
376 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
377 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
378 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
379 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
380 requirements (STR #33)
381 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
382 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
383 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
384 symlinks (STR #33)
385 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
386 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
387 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
388 hardware (STR #32)
389 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
390 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
391 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
392 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
393 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
394 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
395 Jacke)
396 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
397 Bjoern Jacke)
398
399
400 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
401
402 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
403 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
404 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
405 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
406 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
407 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
408 compilers cannot be found.
409 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
410 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
411 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
412 (STR #28).
413 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
414 not work.
415 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
416 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
417 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
418 was not added to the collection value.
419 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
420 was not added to the collection value.
421 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
422 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
423 directives.
424 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
425 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
426 new configuration directives.
427 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
428 on the page (STR #18)
429 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
430 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
431 #13)
432 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
433 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
434 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
435 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
436 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
437 message files such as those used for the job history
438 in /var/spool/cups.
439
440
441 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
442
443 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
444 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
445 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
446 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
447 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
448 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
449 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
450 permissions of /dev/null...)
451 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
452 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
453 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
454 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
455 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
456 no "lp" queue) is sent.
457 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
458 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
459 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
460 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
461 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
462 retries and the time between retries.
463 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
464 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
465 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
466 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
467 your locale.
468 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
469 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
470 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
471 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
472 compressed using gzip.
473 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
474 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
475 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
476 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
477 a large number of clients connected to the system.
478 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
479 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
480 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
481 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
482 respectively) and has some additional changes to
483 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
484 when only one copy was requested.
485 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
486 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
487 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
488 - Added support for STATE: messages
489 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
490 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
491 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
492 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
493 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
494 root.
495 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
496 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
497 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
498 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
499 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
500 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
501 information.
502 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
503 field.
504 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
505 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
506 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
507 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
508 attribute to control whether job history data is
509 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
510 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
511 implementation.
512 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
513 using SLP browsing.
514 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
515 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
516 filter could be executed.
517 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
518 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
519 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
520 Kubla]
521 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
522 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
523 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
524 sent. It now only references attributes that change
525 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
526 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
527 2k.
528 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
529 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
530 signals on Solaris 8.
531 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
532 by group name as well as user name.
533 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
534 printer was available.
535 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
536 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
537 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
538 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
539 printable area of the page.
540 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
541 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
542 conformant PS files.
543 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
544 the image on the page when printing in landscape
545 orientation.
546 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
547 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
548 and ManualFeed commands.
549 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
550 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
551 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
552 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
553 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
554 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
555 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
556 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
557 list of available devices, when it should have been
558 using the default signal handler.
559 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
560 option with a NULL last string.
561 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
562 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
563 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
564 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
565 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
566 up...
567 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
568 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
569 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
570 non-blocking HTTP connections.
571 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
572 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
573 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
574 value; it is a keyword value.
575 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
576 has gone away and reports an error.
577 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
578 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
579 that support it.
580 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
581 variable under MacOS X.
582 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
583 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
584 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
585 the form "file:///path" properly.
586 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
587 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
588 use when printing binary PostScript data.
589 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
590 directive, so only the first group would be used.
591 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
592 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
593 for systems with large numbers of printers.
594 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
595 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
596 sequence.
597 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
598 the PPD file.
599 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
600 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
601 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
602 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
603 baseline donated by Apple.
604 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
605 Apple.
606 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
607 printer classes on the network.
608 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
609 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
610 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
611 option.
612 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
613 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
614 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
615 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
616 "{?time-at-creation}".
617 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
618 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
619 via IPP.
620 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
621 even if FileDevices is set to No.
622 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
623 when it should have used hstrerror().
624 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
625 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
626 means that printers that don't report their serial
627 numbers in the device ID string will not be
628 individually selectable.
629 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
630 when a page contained an embedded document.
631 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
632 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
633 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
634 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
635 the same.
636 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
637 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
638 of pages with duplexing enabled.
639 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
640 application to add less than 1 value.
641 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
642 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
643 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
644 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
645 too large for the buffer.
646 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
647 by Jeff Licquia.
648 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
649 an attribute definition.
650 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
651 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
652 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
653 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
654 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
655 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
656 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
657 situations. The warning message is now written no more
658 than once per minute.
659 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
660 PS RIPs.
661 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
662 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
663 quotas would not work.
664 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
665 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
666 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
667 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
668 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
669 program or man page files.
670
671
672 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
673
674 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
675 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
676 write a job control file.
677 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
678 directive to control whether new printers can be added
679 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
680 default is to not allow printers with these device
681 URIs.
682 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
683 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
684 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
685 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
686 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
687 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
688 non-conforming PPD file.
689 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
690 TrueType fonts.
691 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
692 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
693 attacks.
694 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
695 interface.
696 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
697 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
698 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
699 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
700 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
701 the scheduler did not close the connections
702 immediately on all platforms.
703 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
704 checks for all image formats.
705 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
706 back to its original at the end of a job; this
707 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
708 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
709 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
710 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
711 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
712 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
713 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
714 PPD files.
715 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
716 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
717 Win9x PostScript drivers.
718 - The web interface did not always report the correct
719 error message.
720 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
721 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
722 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
723 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
724 process from returning.
725
726
727 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
728
729 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
730 backend had to retry a print job.
731 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
732 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
733 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
734 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
735 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
736 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
737 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
738 ticket data.
739 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
740 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
741 after it was shutdown.
742 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
743 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
744 group membership still requires the account name to be
745 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
746 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
747 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
748 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
749 on the options that are sent in a job.
750 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
751 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
752 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
753 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
754 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
755 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
756 longer treated as boolean options.
757 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
758 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
759 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
760 caused by servers sending the status line and
761 newline(s) in separate packets.
762 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
763 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
764 empty.
765 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
766 CUPS supports.
767 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
768 Windows.
769 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
770 printing of Sun Raster images.
771 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
772 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
773 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
774 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
775 (interrupted system call) errors.
776 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
777 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
778 caused by the child signal handler.
779 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
780 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
781 error.
782 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
783 URI syntax.
784 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
785 settings while loading a PPD file.
786 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
787 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
788 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
789 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
790 properly localized time string.
791 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
792 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
793 configuring a printer or class.
794 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
795 filters will not stop a print queue.
796 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
797 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
798 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
799 scheduler.
800 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
801 scheduler so that the printer object information is
802 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
803 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
804 queues.
805 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
806 filename.
807 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
808 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
809 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
810 automatic form feed.
811 - French translation updates.
812 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
813 embedding it in PostScript output.
814 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
815 MacOS X.
816 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
817 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
818 has been removed.
819
820
821 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
822
823 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
824 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
825 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
826 printer.
827 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
828 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
829 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
830 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
831 interface might not work.
832 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
833 you can display completed jobs as well as
834 not-completed (pending) jobs.
835 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
836 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
837 not be printed.
838 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
839 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
840 occurs.
841 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
842 stopped remote printer.
843 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
844 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
845 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
846 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
847 the page number.
848 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
849 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
850 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
851 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
852 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
853 banner pages.
854 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
855 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
856 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
857 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
858 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
859 reliably.
860 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
861 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
862 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
863 using more than one USB printer.
864 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
865 connection when sending an error that requires the
866 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
867 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
868 encryption enabled.
869 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
870 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
871 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
872 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
873 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
874 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
875 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
876 implement the LPD protocol properly...
877 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
878 PostScript or image filters.
879 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
880 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
881 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
882 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
883 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
884 when modifying an active printer.
885 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
886 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
887 defines a circular filter rule.
888 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
889 requirements comment in some cases.
890 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
891 files.
892 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
893 better handle printing EPS files.
894 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
895 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
896 compatibility).
897 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
898 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
899 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
900 number of copies that a user can request.
901 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
902 others and when it forked processes.
903 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
904 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
905 shutdown.
906 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
907 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
908 init script functions, if available.
909 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
910 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
911 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
912 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
913 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
914 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
915 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
916 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
917 printer" status of the printer.
918 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
919 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
920 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
921 a bad or missing temporary directory.
922 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
923 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
924 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
925 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
926 connect to the remote server name in a
927 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
928 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
929 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
930 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
931 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
932 the program would try to print the option letter that
933 caused the error using the wrong index into the
934 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
935 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
936 attributes from printer options in
937 cupsEncodeOptions().
938 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
939 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
940 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
941 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
942 devices under *BSD.
943 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
944 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
945 characters.
946 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
947 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
948 the language mode.
949 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
950 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
951 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
952 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
953 all of the CUPS API functions.
954 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
955 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
956 files when configuring a printer.
957 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
958 printer state before stopping the current job.
959 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
960 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
961 driver.
962 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
963 the next available printer rather than waiting until
964 that printer is available.
965 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
966 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
967 printer class instead of a normal printer.
968 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
969 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
970 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
971 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
972 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
973 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
974 username:password field of a URI.
975 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
976 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
977 to accept connections.
978 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
979 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
980 and current directory.
981 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
982 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
983 into the file type database would no longer be valid
984 for existing jobs.
985 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
986 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
987 actually provided.
988 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
989 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
990 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
991 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
992 that do not have a PPD file to export.
993 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
994 case-insensitive.
995 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
996 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
997 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
998 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
999 Solaris.
1000 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1001 printing banner pages.
1002 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
1003 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1004 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
1005 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1006 a bug in the filter validation code.
1007 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1008 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1009 file.
1010 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1011 description from member printers.
1012 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1013 hostnames that started with a number.
1014 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
1015 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1016 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
1017 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1018 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
1019 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1020 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1021 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
1022 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1023 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1024 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1025 up...
1026 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1027 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1028 authentication didn't work for administration
1029 operations.
1030 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1031 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
1032 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1033 interface to "localhost".
1034 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1035 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1036 only return textual data.
1037
1038
1039 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1040
1041 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1042 string function header, which is required on systems
1043 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1044 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1045 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1046 have to.

1049 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1050
1051 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1052 and OpenSSL license exceptions.
1053 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1054 name if no value has been set.
1055 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1056 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1057 correct tray.
1058 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1059 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1060 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1061 options.
1062 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1063 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1064 <security/pam_appl.h>.
1065 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1066 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1067 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1068 queues) on the server.
1069 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1070 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1071 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1072 - New SCSI printer backend.
1073 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1074 set definitions.
1075 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1076 OpenUI/CloseUI.
1077 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1078 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
1079 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
1080 - Added French translation of man pages.
1081 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1082 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
1083 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1084 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
1085 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1086 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1087 comes from...
1088 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
1089 output, as well as new page-border and
1090 number-up-layout options.
1091 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1092 using the default printer.
1093 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1094 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1095 to allow for longer printer names.
1096 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1097 history data.
1098 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1099 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1100 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1101 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
1102 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1103 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1104 caused problems on some installations that would
1105 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1106 level 3.
1107 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
1108 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1109 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
1110 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1111 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
1112 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1113 destination printer or class.
1114 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
1115 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1116 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1117 (cupsd).
1118 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1119 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1120 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1121 Keep-Alive like they should.
1122 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1123 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1124 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1125 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1126 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1127 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1128 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1129 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1130 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1131 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1132 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1133 of glyphs.
1134 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1135 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1136 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1137 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
1138 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1139 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1140 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1141 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1142 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
1143 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1144 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
1145 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1146 the proper IPP language code.
1147 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1148 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
1149 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1150 classes.
1151 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1152 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1153 did not reflect the correct port number.
1154 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1155 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1156 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1157 control and browsing based on the current interface
1158 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
1159 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1160 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
1161 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1162 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1163 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1164 group.
1165 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1166 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
1167 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1168 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1169 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1170 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1171 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1172 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
1173 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1174 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
1175 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1176 the correct LANG string.
1177 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1178 and SAMBA server names.
1179 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1180 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
1181 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1182 generated dependencies.
1183 - Build fixes for OS X.
1184 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1185 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1186 the loader.
1187 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1188 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1189 the prefix "JCL".
1190 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1191 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1192 while the next page is being processed.
1193 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1194 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
1195 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1196 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1197 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1198 printers and classes all at once.
1199 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1200 the Linux PPC port.
1201 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1202 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1203 value.
1204 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1205 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1206 other options as strings.
1207 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1208 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1209 that don't end with a newline.
1210 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1211 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1212 option.
1213 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1214 integers and ranges.
1215 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1216 language support for CUPS.
1217
1218
1219 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1220
1221 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
1222 attribute name length or string with language value
1223 was not larger than the read buffer.
1224 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1225 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1226 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
1227 - Added Swedish message catalog.
1228 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1229 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
1230 - MacOS X fixes.
1231 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1232 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1233 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1234 2.2.x.
1235 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1236 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1237 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1238 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1239 require it.
1240
1241
1242 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1243
1244 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1245 regular printer classes.
1246 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1247 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1248 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
1249 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1250 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1251 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1252 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1253 and added several Russian message catalogs.
1254 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1255 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1256 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1257 *.convs files.
1258 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1259 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1260 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1261 goes away.
1262 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1263 whitespace after quoted values.
1264 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
1265 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
1266 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
1267 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1268 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1269 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1270 the local server, the printer would not be found.
1271 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1272 match the page orientation.
1273 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1274 connections to improve performance/response time.
1275 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1276 from Andrea Suatoni.
1277 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1278 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1279 tools support.
1280 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1281 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1282 existed.
1283 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1284 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
1285 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1286 page-set option.
1287 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1288 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
1289 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1290 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1291 etc.)
1292 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1293 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1294 listing for a printer.
1295 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1296 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1297 make third-party tools happy.
1298 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1299 values.
1300 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1301 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
1302 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1303 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1304 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1305 files.
1306 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1307 2 element array.
1308 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1309 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1310 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
1311 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1312 the password and nonce strings.
1313 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1314 "%%BeginData:".
1315 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1316 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
1317 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1318 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1319 classification level, if set. This way the original
1320 banner settings are preserved when classification
1321 levels are changed or turned off.
1322 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1323 did it restore the original settings.
1324 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1325 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1326 system default group was not used.
1327 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1328 send multiple control files.
1329 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1330 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1331 for the "https" scheme.
1332 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1333 from the web interface for accounts other than
1334 "root".
1335 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1336 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1337 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1338 address properly.
1339 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1340 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1341 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1342 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1343 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1344 information under Linux.
1345 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1346 option (if present) in PPD files.
1347 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1348 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1349 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1350 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1351 the lppasswd command.
1352 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1353 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1354 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1355 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1356 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1357 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1358 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1359 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1360 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1361 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1362 restarting cupsd.
1363 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1364 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1365 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1366 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1367 for commands on the standard input.
1368 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1369 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1370 pointer platforms...
1371 - The cups-config script reported the wrong version
1372 number.
1373 - The cups-config script was installed in $(bindir)
1374 instead of $(BINDIR).
1375 - The init script did not correctly check for a running
1376 cupsd under IRIX 5.x.
1377
1378
1379 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1380
1381 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1382 files.
1383 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1384 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1385 destination type for the new destination.
1386 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1387 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1388 printer ACLs.
1389 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1390 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1391 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1392 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1393 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1394
1395
1396 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1397
1398 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1399 files.
1400 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1401 files.
1402 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1403 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1404 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1405 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1406 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1407 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1408 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1409 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1410 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1411 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1412 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1413 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1414 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1415 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1416 options exceeded 100...]
1417 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1418 was set to "No".
1419 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1420 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1421 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1422 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1423 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1424 faster.
1425 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1426 support properly support the "-h" or default
1427 server name.
1428 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1429 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1430 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1431 support printer instances.
1432 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1433 underline formatting.
1434 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1435 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1436 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1437 (-1).
1438 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1439 from printing to printers in that class.
1440 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1441 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1442 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1443 slower systems since more information had to be
1444 transferred from server to client.
1445 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1446 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1447 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1448 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1449 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1450 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1451 processing.
1452 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1453 to stderr instead of stdout...
1454 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1455 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1456 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1457 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1458 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1459 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1460 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1461 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1462 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1463 the Spanish banner files.
1464 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1465 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1466 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1467 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1468 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1469 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1470 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1471 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1472 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1473 information when printing via LPD.
1474 - Added many warning and informational messages
1475 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1476 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1477 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1478 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1479 provided.
1480 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1481 cupsd.conf.
1482 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1483 32k.
1484 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1485 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1486 possible.
1487 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1488 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1489 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1490 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1491 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1492 long values.
1493 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1494 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1495 to CGIs.
1496 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1497 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1498 time.
1499 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1500 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1501 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1502 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1503 result in a blank page being output...
1504 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1505 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1506 page comments when printing files directly...)
1507 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1508 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1509 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1510 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1511 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1512 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1513 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1514 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1515 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1516 original destination.
1517 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1518 requested-attributes attribute in the
1519 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1520 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1521 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1522 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1523 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1524 prints.
1525
1526
1527 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1528
1529 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1530 makefiles to install files properly.
1531
1532
1533 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1534
1535 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1536 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1537 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1538 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1539 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1540 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1541 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1542 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1543 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1544 server.
1545 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1546 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1547 with some types of flow control.
1548 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1549 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1550 server.
1551 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1552 lines in the configuration files.
1553 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1554 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1555 from the server.
1556 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1557 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1558 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1559 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1560 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1561 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1562 script. Previously the job's document format was
1563 used, which was incorrect.
1564 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1565 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1566 "raw" model from the command-line.
1567 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1568 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1569 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1570 printers.
1571 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1572 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1573 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1574 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1575 which caused some confusion... :)
1576 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1577 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1578
1579
1580 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1581
1582 - The configure script did not substitute the
1583 correct user and group names.
1584 - The configure script did not use the full path
1585 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1586 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1587 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1588 duplexing.
1589 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1590 distribution.
1591 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1592 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1593 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1594 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1595 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1596 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1597 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1598 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1599 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1600 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1601 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1602 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1603
1604
1605 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1606
1607 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1608 approach for the various tests.
1609 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1610 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1611 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1612 options to specify the default user and group for
1613 CUPS.
1614 - Added AIX shared library support.
1615 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1616 parallel ports.
1617 - Now use install program or script to install
1618 directories, files, and symlinks.
1619 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1620 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1621 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1622 print.
1623 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1624 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1625 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1626 64-bit boundary.
1627 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1628 skip the Digest keyword.
1629 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1630 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1631 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1632 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1633 authentication from passwd.md5.
1634 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1635 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1636 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1637 PPD files should start much faster now.
1638 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1639 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1640 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1641 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1642 times.
1643 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1644 code if an error occurred.
1645 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1646 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1647 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1648 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1649 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1650 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1651 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1652 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1653 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1654 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1655 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1656 copies would come out instead of N.
1657 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1658 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1659 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1660 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1661 output an even number of pages.
1662 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1663 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1664 from being cancelled early.
1665 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1666 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1667 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1668 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1669 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1670 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1671 "ESC i" graphics command.
1672 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1673 printers to a local class.
1674 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1675 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1676 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1677 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1678 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1679 printers that were part of a class.
1680 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1681 printer more than once.
1682 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1683 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1684 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1685 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1686 account.
1687 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1688 against a location of "/printers/name".
1689 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1690 upgrades properly.
1691 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1692 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1693 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1694 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1695 when using Digest authentication.
1696 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1697 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1698 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1699 file.
1700 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1701 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1702 server.
1703 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1704 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1705 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1706 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1707 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1708 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1709 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1710 not the empty string.
1711 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1712 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1713 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1714 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1715 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1716 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1717 supported file types into the
1718 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1719 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1720 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1721 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1722 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1723 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1724 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1725 or behave irratically.
1726 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1727 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1728 specified.
1729 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1730 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1731 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1732 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1733 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1734 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1735 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1736 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1737 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1738 location or description of the printer.
1739 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1740 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1741 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1742 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1743 multiple groups.
1744 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1745 Apache.
1746 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1747 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1748 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1749 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1750 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1751 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1752 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1753 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1754 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1755 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1756 Ghostscript code.
1757 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1758 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1759 size instead of percent of page size.)
1760 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1761 instead of root.
1762 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1763 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1764 size options.
1765 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1766 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1767 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1768 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1769 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1770 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1771 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1772 character.
1773
1774
1775 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1776
1777 - Updated configure script to check for /etc/pam.d and
1778 to only set PAMDIR if it exists.
1779 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1780 package for pstoraster.
1781 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1782 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1783 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1784 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1785 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1786 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1787 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1788 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1789 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1790 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1791 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1792 history disabled.
1793 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1794 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1795 connections initially.
1796 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1797 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1798 throughout.
1799 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1800 Richard Begg.)
1801 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1802 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1803 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1804 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1805 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1806 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1807 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1808 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1809 #54489...
1810 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1811 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1812 (only affects page-label and Classification
1813 options.)
1814 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1815 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1816 - The scheduler would not force the default job sheets
1817 for printers to the current classification setting.
1818 - Added a new ippFindNextAttribute() function to the
1819 CUPS API.
1820 - ppdEmitJCL() now strips any leading path info from
1821 the title string. This is only an issue for non-CUPS
1822 clients that don't do this already...
1823 - Other pstops fixed from Helge Blischke for printing
1824 non-conforming documents.
1825 - The MaxJobs parameter was not reset when loading the
1826 cupsd.conf file.
1827
1828
1829 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1830
1831 - Configuration script changes, including new
1832 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1833 documentation and web content according to your
1834 favorite version of the FHS.
1835 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1836 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1837 test CUPS prior to installation.
1838 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1839 insensitive to match Apache.
1840 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1841 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
1842 directives.
1843 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1844 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1845 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1846 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1847 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1848 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1849 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1850 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1851 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1852 formats are supported at present.)
1853 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1854 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1855 all browsing off.
1856 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1857 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1858 document.
1859 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1860 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1861 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1862 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1863 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1864 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1865 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1866 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1867 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1868 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1869 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1870 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1871 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1872 server.
1873 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1874 PJL commands from PPD files.
1875 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1876 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1877 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1878 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1879 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1880 the next/current job in the queue.
1881 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1882 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1883 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1884 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1885 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1886 for Sun Raster images.
1887 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1888 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1889 function.
1890 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1891 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1892 command when printing to USB devices.
1893 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1894 the cupsd.conf file.
1895 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1896 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1897 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1898 /dev/urandom.
1899 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1900 httpGetSubField().
1901 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1902 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1903 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1904 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1905 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1906 CGI was currently running.
1907 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1908 option=true or option=false.
1909 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1910 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1911 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1912 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1913 could cause it to crash.
1914 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1915 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1916 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1917 attribute when altering a job.
1918 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1919 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1920 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1921 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1922 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1923 addresses.
1924 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1925 the current classification on each page.
1926 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1927 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1928 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1929 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1930 encryption.
1931 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1932 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1933 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1934 support instances.
1935 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1936 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1937 and should never be used in a production environment.
1938 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1939 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1940 interface.
1941 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1942 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1943 prevent caching of the results.
1944 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1945 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1946 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1947 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1948 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1949 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1950 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1951 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1952 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1953 submitted by a user.
1954 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1955 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1956 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1957 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1958 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1959 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1960 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1961 embedded spaces.
1962 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1963 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1964 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1965 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1966 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1967 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1968 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1969 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1970 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1971 by the GIMP.
1972 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1973 bypassed the authentication checks.
1974 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1975 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1976 a race condition between the client and server for the
1977 upgrade to TLS.
1978 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1979 the pstops filter.
1980 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1981 the custom page size in the raster header.
1982 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1983 size to the size of the printed image.
1984 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1985 which are required by some printers.
1986 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1987 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1988 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1989 DSC).
1990 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1991 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1992 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1993 driver.
1994 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1995 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1996 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1997 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1998 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1999 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2000 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2001 address this problem.
2002 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2003 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2004 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2005 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2006 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2007 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2008 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2009 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2010 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2011 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2012 to manage print jobs.
2013 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2014 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2015 of 0 length.
2016 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2017 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2018 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2019
2020
2021 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2022
2023 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2024 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2025 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2026 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2027 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2028 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2029 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2030 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2031 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2032 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2033 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2034 /dev/ulptN.
2035 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2036 classes it was a member of.
2037 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2038 implicit status of a class.
2039 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2040 from implicit classes.
2041 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2042 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2043 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2044 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2045 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2046 of the scheduler.
2047 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2048 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2049 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2050 the /#copies variable anymore.
2051 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2052 option.
2053 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2054 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2055 for a bad-request error)
2056 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2057 unimplemented, not invalid.
2058 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2059 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2060 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2061 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2062 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2063 (pstoraster).
2064 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2065 which are not used.
2066 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2067 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2068 cgi_initialize_string().
2069 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2070 ippSetCGIVars()
2071 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2072 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2073 leaks.
2074 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2075 fails.
2076 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2077 setuid() calls.
2078 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2079 calls.
2080 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2081 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2082 bad input.
2083 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2084 missing hex digits.

2086
2087 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2088
2089 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2090 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2091 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2092 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2093 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2094 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2095 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2096 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2097 corruption on many printers)
2098 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2099 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2100 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2101 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2102 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2103 requests.
2104 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2105 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2106 was lost.
2107 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2108 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2109 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2110 to be used for a socket.
2111 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2112 a set were numeric or string types.
2113 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2114 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2115 reading *.conf files.
2116 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2117 same logic as GET requests.
2118 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2119 /index.html to requested directory name.
2120 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2121 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2122 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2123 instead of mode 0600.
2124 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2125 instead of 0600.
2126 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2127 system name in log filenames.
2128 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2129 and hex strings.
2130
2131
2132 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2133
2134 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2135 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2136 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2137
2138
2139 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2140
2141 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2142 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2143 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2144 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2145 filter programs properly.
2146 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2147 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2148 versions of GCC.
2149 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2150 cancelled in StartJob().
2151 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2152 written with restricted permissions.
2153 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2154 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2155 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2156 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2157 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2158 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2159 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2160 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2161 syslog file.
2162 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2163 and only specifies the document format if it is
2164 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2165 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2166 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2167 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2168 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2169 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2170 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2171 cancelled.
2172 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2173 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2174 sporatic web interface problems.
2175 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2176 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2177 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2178 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2179 whitespace.
2180 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2181 instead of an integer.
2182 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2183 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2184 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2185 and user-level access control.
2186 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2187 encryption.
2188 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2189 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2190 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2191 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2192 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2193 to the man page.
2194 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2195 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2196 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2197 queued for a printer.
2198 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2199 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2200 reporting.
2201
2202
2203 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2204
2205 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2206 code.
2207 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2208 check in backend/serial.c.
2209 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2210 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2211 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2212 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2213 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2214 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2215 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2216 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2217 anyways)
2218
2219
2220 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2221
2222 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2223 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2224 for run level 5.
2225 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2226 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2227 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2228 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2229 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2230 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2231 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2232
2233
2234 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2235
2236 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2237 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2238 access from the local system.
2239 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2240 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2241 - Documentation updates.
2242 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2243 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2244 RedHat or Mandrake.
2245 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2246 warnings.
2247 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2248 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2249 hex)
2250 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2251 crash the server.
2252 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2253 correct value length for name-with-language and
2254 text-with-language attributes.
2255 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2256 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2257 efficient IPP server performance.
2258 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2259 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2260 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2261 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2262 attack.
2263 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2264 data required when getting the list of printer or
2265 class information. This should improve performance
2266 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2267 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2268 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2269 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2270 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2271 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2272 override the lpoptions default printer.
2273 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2274 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2275 attributes.
2276 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2277 did not check for the correct value for collated
2278 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2279 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2280 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2281 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2282 scale mode 2.
2283 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2284 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2285 that started with a number.
2286 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2287 multiple times in name-with-language and
2288 text-with-language attributes.
2289 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2290 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2291 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2292 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2293 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2294 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2295 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2296 close the spool directory.
2297 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2298 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2299 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2300 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2301 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2302 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2303 larger than the source string; this protects
2304 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2305 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2306 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2307 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2308 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2309 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2310 remote printers.
2311 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2312 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2313 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2314 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2315 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2316 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2317 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2318 3-argument contains() function.
2319 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2320 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2321 database containing 0 printers.
2322 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2323 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2324 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2325 printer was always busy.
2326 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2327 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2328 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2329 jobs.
2330 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2331 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2332 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2333 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2334 57600 and 115200 baud.
2335 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2336 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2337 option in the device URI.
2338 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2339 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2340 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2341 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2342 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2343 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2344 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2345 job attributes to be changed.
2346 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2347 web interface.
2348 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2349 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2350 since they do not map)
2351 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2352 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2353 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2354 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2355 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2356 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2357 child signals while loading devices.
2358 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2359 and classes.
2360 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2361 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2362 driver dithering code.
2363 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2364 after the first active printer.
2365 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2366 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2367 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2368 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2369 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2370 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2371 accepted null values.
2372 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2373 of the backends.
2374 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2375 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2376 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2377 is set in the plot file.
2378 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2379 user name, causing it to always fail.
2380 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2381 under Windows.
2382 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2383 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2384 didn't handle control file job information in any
2385 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2386 a file.
2387 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2388 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2389 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2390 printing on some systems.
2391 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2392 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2393 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2394 it.
2395
2396
2397 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2398
2399 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2400 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2401 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2402 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2403 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2404 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2405 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2406 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2407 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2408 order, which prevented remote printing.
2409 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2410 IPP requests and language information when closing
2411 a client connection.
2412 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2413 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2414 compatibles)
2415 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2416 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2417 on many OS's.
2418 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2419 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2420 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2421 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2422 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2423 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2424 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2425 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2426 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2427 PPD files.
2428 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2429 when the destination printer supported it. This
2430 caused problems when printing text files to other
2431 CUPS servers.
2432 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2433 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2434 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2435 the dates.)
2436 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2437 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2438 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2439 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2440 be clipped.
2441
2442
2443 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2444
2445 - Makefile fixes.
2446 - RPM spec file changes.
2447 - Documentation updates.
2448 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2449 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2450 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2451 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2452 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2453 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2454 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2455 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2456 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2457 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2458 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2459 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2460 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2461 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2462 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2463 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2464 specified.
2465 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2466 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2467 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2468 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2469 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2470 cupsd.conf.
2471 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2472 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2473 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2474 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2475 filter mode 'l'.
2476 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2477 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2478 defaults for all print queues.
2479 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2480 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2481 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2482 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2483 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2484 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2485 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2486 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2487 printer was defined with the same name.
2488 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2489 remove options for a printer or instance.
2490 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2491 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2492 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2493 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2494 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2495 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2496 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2497 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2498 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2499 job-printer-uri attribute.
2500 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2501 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2502 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2503 remote printers.
2504 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2505 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2506 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2507 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2508 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2509 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2510 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2511 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2512 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2513 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2514 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2515 printer set using lpoptions.
2516 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2517 list the printer-specific options and their current
2518 settings.
2519 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2520 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2521 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2522 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2523 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2524 text printing.
2525 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2526 instances.
2527 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2528 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2529 limit.
2530 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2531 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2532 new client connections.
2533 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2534 required pagedevice parameters.
2535 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2536 under Linux.
2537 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2538 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2539 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2540 would stop processing.
2541 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2542 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2543 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2544 that was currently printing a job.
2545 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2546 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2547 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2548 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2549 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2550 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2551 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2552 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2553 option values separated by commas.
2554 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2555 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2556 and free bytes once a minute)
2557 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2558 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2559 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2560 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2561 printers.
2562 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2563 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2564 requests from that address to the server name.
2565 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2566 server.domain.com to localhost.
2567 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2568 the previous device and driver settings (except
2569 for serial ports.)
2570 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2571 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2572 after a job is completed when job file history is
2573 turned off.
2574 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2575 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2576 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2577 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2578 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2579 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2580 for "lpstat -v" output.
2581 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2582 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2583 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2584 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2585 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2586 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2587 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2588 by itself without quoting.
2589
2590
2591 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2592
2593 - Makefile/configure fixes
2594 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2595 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2596 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2597 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2598 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2599 number generator for certificates.
2600 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2601 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2602 the filter user, typically "lp".
2603 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2604 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2605 user.
2606 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2607 function.
2608 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2609 standard input.
2610 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2611 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2612 page header as needed.
2613 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2614 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2615 immediately when last-document was true.
2616 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2617 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2618 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2619 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2620 and many PS printers.
2621 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2622 filters.
2623 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2624 debugging problems.
2625 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2626 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2627 calling problem...)
2628 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2629 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2630 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2631 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2632 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2633 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2634 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2635 by default.
2636 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2637 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2638 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2639 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2640 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2641 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2642 CUPS software.
2643
2644
2645 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2646
2647 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2648 old PDF filter files.
2649 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2650 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2651 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2652 network devices.
2653 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2654 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2655 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2656 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2657 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2658 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2659 is defined otherwise.
2660 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2661 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2662 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2663 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2664 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2665 0-length PPD file was read.
2666 - The image filters were not handling images with
2667 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2668 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2669 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2670 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2671 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2672 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2673 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2674 documents if they don't have it.
2675 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2676 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2677 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2678 --prefix was specified.
2679 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2680 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2681 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2682 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2683 color mode until it can be fixed.
2684 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2685 correctly in all cases.
2686 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2687 time in banner files.
2688
2689
2690 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2691
2692 - Documentation updates.
2693 - Configuration script updates.
2694 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2695 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2696 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2697 ppd_file_t structure.
2698 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2699 before it was used.
2700 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2701 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2702 the localhost address.
2703 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2704 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2705 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2706 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2707 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2708 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2709 PDF support.
2710 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2711 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2712 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2713 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2714 pstoraster.
2715 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2716 the user.
2717 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2718 not running.
2719 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2720 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2721 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2722 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2723 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2724 setpagedevice operator.
2725 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2726 the default banner pages.
2727 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2728 "position" option.
2729 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2730 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2731 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2732 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2733 "printer@server") when possible.
2734 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2735 with no PageSize attributes.
2736 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2737 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2738 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2739 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2740 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2741 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2742 cupsd.
2743 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2744 locations.
2745 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2746 variables to specify installation directories as
2747 needed.
2748 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2749 when the scheduler is started.
2750 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2751 printer.
2752 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2753 printer are automatically deleted.
2754 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2755 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2756 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2757 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2758 request.
2759 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2760 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2761 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2762 is "no-hold".
2763 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2764 responses.
2765 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2766 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2767 printer.
2768 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2769 request fails.
2770 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2771 printer and class names.
2772 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2773 received in a POST request.
2774
2775
2776 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2777
2778 - Documentation updates.
2779 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2780 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2781 method.
2782 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2783 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2784 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2785 - Missing the job-restart template.
2786 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2787 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2788 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2789 not specified.
2790 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2791 from getting through.
2792 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2793 stderr.
2794 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2795 job name and display string, if supported.
2796 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2797 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2798 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2799 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2800 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2801 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2802 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2803 UTF-8...
2804 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2805 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2806 could cause cupsd to crash.
2807 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2808 crash.
2809 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2810 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2811 "HH:MM:SS".
2812 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2813 connection structure.
2814 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2815 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2816 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2817 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2818 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2819 is a potential security hole.
2820 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2821 new pstoraster.
2822 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2823 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2824 (/dev/usblp#)
2825 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2826 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2827 release.
2828
2829
2830 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2831
2832 - Documentation updates.
2833 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2834 now compile better under *BSD.)
2835 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2836 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2837 tray was selected.
2838 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2839 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2840 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2841 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2842 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2843 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2844 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2845 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2846 can handle.
2847 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2848 cause cupsd to crash.
2849 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2850 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2851 mime.types file.
2852 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2853 of file to be used as a banner.
2854 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2855 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2856 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2857 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2858 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2859 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2860 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2861 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2862 the IANA registrations.
2863 - New PostScript banner pages.
2864 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2865 filter.
2866 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2867 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2868 code.
2869 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2870 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2871 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2872 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2873 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2874 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2875 accurate width specification.
2876 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2877 files.
2878 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2879 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2880 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2881 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2882 that support it.
2883 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2884 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2885 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2886 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2887 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2888 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2889 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2890 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2891 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2892 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2893
2894
2895 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2896
2897 - Documentation updates.
2898 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2899 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2900 shell and Bash.
2901 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2902 code.
2903 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2904 manufacturer in the PPD.
2905 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2906 output attributes to be set.
2907 - Added banner page support.
2908 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2909 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2910 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2911 timezone offset.
2912 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2913 file is generated).
2914 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2915 printers when they became available.
2916 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2917 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2918 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2919 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2920 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2921 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2922 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2923 (override with -f)
2924 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2925 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2926 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2927 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2928 folks.
2929 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2930 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2931 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2932 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2933 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2934 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2935 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2936 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2937 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2938 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2939 languages (still only have templates for English)
2940 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2941 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2942 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2943 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2944 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2945 needed for some sites)
2946 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2947 templates.
2948 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2949 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2950 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2951 specific printer.
2952 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2953 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2954 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2955 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2956 authentication.
2957 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2958 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2959 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2960 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2961 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2962 filter.
2963 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2964 US-ASCII.
2965 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2966 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2967 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2968 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2969 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2970 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2971 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2972 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2973 basis without environment variables.
2974 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2975
2976
2977 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2978
2979 - Documentation updates.
2980 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2981 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2982 printer.
2983 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2984 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2985 distribution.
2986 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2987 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2988 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2989 to match the IPP spec.
2990 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2991 (previously they would be ignored)
2992 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2993 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2994 machines.
2995 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2996 and printer.
2997 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2998 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2999 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3000 BrowseRelay directives.
3001 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3002 still receives information on remote printers.
3003 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3004 networks)
3005 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3006 of PPD files.
3007 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3008 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3009 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3010 close their input files.
3011
3012
3013 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
3014
3015 - NEW web-based administration interface.
3016 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
3017 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
3018 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
3019 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
3020 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
3021 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
3022 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
3023 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
3024 administration.
3025 - NEW USB backend.
3026 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
3027 - The lpq command now produces BSD standard format output
3028 instead of OSF/1 output. This should resolve the SAMBA
3029 print queue problems that have been reported.
3030 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
3031 was being used.
3032 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
3033 printer.
3034 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
3035 printer.
3036
3037
3038 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.5
3039
3040 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not correctly set the pen color
3041 for pens other than #1.
3042 - The scheduler would only accept 26 simultaneous jobs
3043 under some OS releases (mkstemp() limitation.) It now
3044 handles up to 2^32 simultaneous jobs.
3045 - The PostScript filter loaded the printer's PPD file
3046 twice.
3047 - The PAM authentication code now uses pam_strerror() to
3048 provide a textual error message in the error_log file.
3049 - The scheduler now copies PPD and interface script
3050 files instead of moving them; this fixes installations
3051 with a separate requests directory.
3052 - The PostScript RIP did not generate correct 6-color
3053 output.
3054 - Several filters were marking PPD options twice when
3055 they didn't need to.
3056 - The scheduler did not save the printer or class state
3057 after an accept-jobs or reject-jobs operation.
3058 - The cupsGetDefault() function now ignores the PRINTER
3059 environment variable if it is set to "lp".
3060 - New ippErrorString() function to get textual error
3061 messages.
3062 - Better error reporting in the System V commands.
3063 - The lpadmin and lpstat commands always tried to
3064 connect to the default server.
3065 - The text filter didn't load the charset files from the
3066 correct location.
3067 - Wasn't sending a WWW-Authenticate: field to HTTP
3068 clients when authentication was required.
3069 - httpSeparate() didn't always set the default port
3070 number for known methods.
3071 - The HP-GL/2 filter now looks for "PSwidth,length"
3072 instead of (the correct) "PSlength,width" as
3073 documented by HP. It appears that many major CAD
3074 applications are broken and this change allows the
3075 auto-rotation to work with them.
3076 - The IPP "printer-resolution" option was not being
3077 translated.
3078 - The charset files did not include the Microsoft
3079 "standard" characters from 128 to 159 (unused by the
3080 ISO-8859-x charsets)
3081 - The scheduler was chunking the Content-Type field from
3082 CGI programs; this problem was most noticeable with
3083 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
3084 - By popular demand, the printers, jobs, and classes
3085 CGIs no longer force a reload of the page every 10/30
3086 seconds.
3087 - The scheduler incorrectly required that the IPP client
3088 provide a document-format attribute for the
3089 validate-job operation.
3090 - Clients that sent bad IPP requests without the
3091 required attributes-natural-language and
3092 attributes-charset attributes would crash the
3093 scheduler.

3096 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.4
3097
3098 - Documentation updates.
3099 - Jobs would get stuck in the queue and wouldn't print
3100 until you enabled the queue.
3101 - The lp and lpr commands now catch SIGHUP and SIGINTR.
3102 - The lp and lpr commands now use sigaction or sigset
3103 when available.
3104 - CUPS library updates for WIN32/OS-2
3105
3106
3107 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.3
3108
3109 - Documentation updates.
3110 - The lpq man page was missing.
3111 - The configure script was not properly detecting the
3112 image libraries.
3113 - The top-level makefile was calling "make" instead of
3114 "$(MAKE)".
3115 - PostScript filter fixes for number-up, OutputOrder,
3116 and %Trailer.
3117 - The imagetops filter didn't end the base-85 encoding
3118 properly if the image data was not a multiple of 4
3119 bytes in length.
3120 - The imagetoraster filter didn't generate good banded
3121 RGB or CMY data (was dividing the line width by 4
3122 instead of 3...)
3123 - The imagetoraster filter now records the bounding
3124 box of the image on the page.
3125 - The CUPS image library cache code wasn't working as
3126 designed; images larger than the maximum RIP cache
3127 would eventually thrash using the same cache tile.
3128 - The CUPS image library TIFF loading code didn't
3129 handle unknown resolution units properly; the fixed
3130 code uses a default resolution of 128 PPI.
3131 - cupsGetClasses() and cupsGetPrinters() did not free
3132 existing strings if they ran out of memory.
3133 - The scheduler logs incorrectly contained 3 digits for
3134 the timezone offset instead of 4.
3135 - The scheduler now does a lookup for the default user
3136 and group ID; the previous hardcoded values caused
3137 problems with the LPD backend.
3138 - The cancel-job operation now allows any user in the
3139 system group to cancel any job.
3140 - The cancel-job operation stopped the print queue if
3141 the job was being printed.
3142 - Now only stop printers if the backend fails. If the
3143 filter fails then the failure is noted in the
3144 error_log and printing continues with the next file in
3145 the queue.
3146 - Now log whether a filter fails because of a signal
3147 or because it returned a non-zero exit status.
3148 - The root user now always passes the system group test.
3149 - Printers with an interface script and remote printers
3150 and classes didn't have a printer-make-and-model
3151 attribute.
3152 - Added logging of lost/timed-out remote printers.
3153 - The HP-GL/2 filter was scaling the pen width twice.
3154 - Updated the HP-GL/2 filter to use a single SP (Set
3155 Pen) procedure. This makes the output smaller and is
3156 more appropriate since the filter keeps track of the
3157 pen states already.
3158 - The scheduler didn't handle passwords with spaces.
3159 - The IPP backend now does multiple copies and retries
3160 if the destination server requires it (e.g. HP
3161 JetDirect.)
3162 - The disable command didn't implement the "-c" option
3163 (cancel all jobs.)
3164 - Changed the CMYK generation function for the image file
3165 and PostScript RIPs.
3166 - The lp command didn't support the "-h" option as
3167 documented.
3168 - The AppSocket, IPP, and LPD backends now retry on all
3169 network errors. This should prevent stopped queues
3170 caused by a printer being disconnected from the
3171 network or powered off.
3172 - The scheduler now restarts a job if the corresponding
3173 printer is modified.
3174 - The image RIPs now rotate the image if needed to fit
3175 on the page.
3176
3177
3178 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.2
3179
3180 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't always scale the output
3181 correctly.
3182 - The HP-GL/2 filter now supports changing the page size
3183 automatically when the "fitplot" option is not used.
3184 - The cancel-job operation was expecting a resource name
3185 of the form "/job/#" instead of "/jobs/#"; this
3186 prevented the cancel and lprm commands from working.
3187 - The backends didn't log pages when files were printed
3188 using the "-oraw" option.
3189 - The authorization code did not work with the Slackware
3190 long shadow password package because its crypt() can
3191 return NULL.
3192 - The chunking code didn't work for reading the response
3193 of a POST request.
3194 - cupsGetPPD() now does authentication as needed.
3195 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't work
3196 with some printers (grestoreall would restore the
3197 default blank page and device settings).
3198 - The N-up code in the PostScript filter didn't scale
3199 the pages to fit within the imageable area of the
3200 page.
3201 - Wasn't doing an fchown() on the request files. This
3202 caused problems when the default root account group
3203 and CUPS group were not the same.
3204
3205
3206 CHANGES IN CUPS v1.0.1
3207
3208 - Documentation updates.
3209 - Fixed a bunch of possible buffer-overflow conditions.
3210 - The scheduler now supports authentication using PAM.
3211 - Updated the Italian message file.
3212 - httpEncode64() didn't add an extra "=" if there was
3213 only one byte in the last three-byte group.
3214 - Now drop any trailing character set from the locale
3215 string (e.g. "en_US.ISO_8859-1" becomes "en_US")
3216 - Fixed "timezone" vs "tm_gmtoff" usage for BSD-based
3217 operating systems.
3218 - Updated IPP security so that "get" operations can be
3219 done from any resource name; this allows the CGIs to
3220 work with printer authentication enabled so long as
3221 authentication isn't turned on for the whole "site".
3222 - The IPP code didn't properly handle the "unsupported"
3223 group; this caused problems with the HP JetDirect since
3224 it doesn't seem to support the "copies" attribute.
3225 - The HTTP chunking code was missing a CR LF pair at the
3226 end of a 0-length chunk.
3227 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle embedded
3228 usernames and passwords in the URI properly.
3229 - Doing "lpadmin -p printer -E" didn't restart printing
3230 if there were pending jobs.
3231 - The cancel-job operation now requires either a
3232 requesting-user-name attribute or an authenticated
3233 username.
3234 - The add-printer code did not report errors if the
3235 interface script or PPD file could not be renamed.
3236 - Request files are now created without world read
3237 permissions.
3238 - Added a cupsLastError() function to the CUPS API to
3239 retrieve the IPP error code from the last request.
3240 - Options are now case-insensitive.
3241 - The lpq command now provides 10 characters for the
3242 username instead of the original (Berkeley standard)
3243 7.
3244 - The cancel command needed a local CUPS server to work
3245 (or the appropriate ServerName in cupsd.conf)
3246 - The cancel and lprm commands didn't report the IPP
3247 error if the job could not be cancelled.
3248 - The lp and lpr commands didn't intercept SIGTERM to
3249 remove temporary files when printing from stdin.
3250 - The lp and lpr commands didn't report the IPP error if
3251 the job could not be printed.
