6e3d4276 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
5
0e4f2c25 6 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
7 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
8 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
9 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
10 your locale.
5073e3f8 11 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
12 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
13 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 14 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
15 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 16 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
17 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
18 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
19 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
20 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 21 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
22 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 23 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
24 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
25 respectively) and has some additional changes to
26 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
27 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 28 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 29 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
30 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 31 - Added support for STATE: messages
32 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
33 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 34 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
35 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
36 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
37 root.
4d4fb342 38 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
39 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 40 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 41 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
42 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
43 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
44 information.
d40085f1 45 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
46 field.
dd9e85de 47 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
48 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
49 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
50 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
51 attribute to control whether job history data is
52 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
53 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
54 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 55 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
56 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 57 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
58 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
59 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 60 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
61 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
62 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
63 Kubla]
3f2fa036 64 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
65 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
66 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
67 sent. It now only references attributes that change
68 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
69 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
70 2k.
71 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
72 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
73 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 74 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
75 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 76 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
77 printer was available.
78 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
79 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
80 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 81 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
82 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 83 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
84 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
85 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 86 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
87 the image on the page when printing in landscape
88 orientation.
b3291c5a 89 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
90 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
91 and ManualFeed commands.
92 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
93 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 94 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
95 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
96 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
97 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
98 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 99 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
100 list of available devices, when it should have been
101 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 102 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
103 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 104 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
105 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 106 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
107 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
108 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
109 up...
2e32fcdb 110 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
111 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
112 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
113 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 114 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
115 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
116 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
117 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 118 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
119 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 120 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
121 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
122 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 123 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
124 variable under MacOS X.
125 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
126 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 127 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
128 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 129 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
130 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
131 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 132 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
133 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 134 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
135 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
136 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 137 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 138 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
139 sequence.
49d1718a 140 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
141 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 142 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 143 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
144 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 145 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
146 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 147 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
148 Apple.
8bd0441f 149 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
150 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 151 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
152 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
153 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
154 option.
155 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
156 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 157 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
158 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
159 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 160 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
161 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
162 via IPP.
edd85093 163 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
164 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 165 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
166 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 167 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
168 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
169 means that printers that don't report their serial
170 numbers in the device ID string will not be
171 individually selectable.
d0598693 172 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
173 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 174 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 175 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
176 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
177 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
178 the same.
179 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
180 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
181 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 182 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
183 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 184 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
185 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 186 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
187 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
188 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 189 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
190 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 191 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
192 an attribute definition.
de218675 193 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
194 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
195 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
196 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 197 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
198 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
199 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
200 situations. The warning message is now written no more
201 than once per minute.
67fa1315 202 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
203 PS RIPs.
320115a7 204 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
205 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
206 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 207 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
208 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
209 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
210 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
211 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
212 program or man page files.
213
214
759f5023 215CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
216
e38a7cef 217 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
218 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
219 write a job control file.
f63a430f 220 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
221 directive to control whether new printers can be added
222 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
223 default is to not allow printers with these device
224 URIs.
767ae392 225 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
226 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
227 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 228 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
229 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
230 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
231 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 232 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
233 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 234 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
235 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
236 attacks.
901b295d 237 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
238 interface.
239 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
240 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
241 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 242 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
243 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
244 the scheduler did not close the connections
245 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 246 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
247 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 248 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
249 back to its original at the end of a job; this
250 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
251 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 252 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
253 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 254 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
255 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
256 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
257 PPD files.
dcc2e394 258 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
259 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
260 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 261 - The web interface did not always report the correct
262 error message.
759f5023 263 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
264 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
265 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
266 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
267 process from returning.
268
269
3cc7bca4 270CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
271
5c826e17 272 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
273 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 274 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 275 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
276 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 277 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
278 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
279 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
280 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
281 ticket data.
282 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
283 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
284 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 285 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
286 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
287 group membership still requires the account name to be
288 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 289 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
290 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
291 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
292 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 293 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
294 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 295 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
296 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
297 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
298 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
299 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 300 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
301 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 302 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
303 caused by servers sending the status line and
304 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 305 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
306 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
307 empty.
78143282 308 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
309 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 310 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
311 Windows.
f33d1239 312 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
313 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 314 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
315 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
316 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 317 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
318 (interrupted system call) errors.
319 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
320 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
321 caused by the child signal handler.
322 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
323 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
324 error.
e1e31a38 325 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
326 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 327 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
328 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 329 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
330 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
331 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 332 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
333 properly localized time string.
549d1888 334 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
335 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
336 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 337 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
338 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 339 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
340 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
341 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
342 scheduler.
343 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
344 scheduler so that the printer object information is
345 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
346 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
347 queues.
854d3bb2 348 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
349 filename.
137d4d44 350 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
351 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
352 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
353 automatic form feed.
354 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 355 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
356 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 357 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
358 MacOS X.
359 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
360 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
361 has been removed.
362
363
06415a96 364CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
365
727e6d14 366 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
367 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
368 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
369 printer.
370 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
371 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 372 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
373 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
374 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 375 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
376 you can display completed jobs as well as
377 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 378 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
379 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
380 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 381 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
382 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
383 occurs.
db628f45 384 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
385 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 386 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
387 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
388 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
389 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
390 the page number.
da312e94 391 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
392 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 393 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 394 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
395 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
396 banner pages.
25037b2b 397 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
398 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
399 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 400 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 401 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
402 reliably.
a9219725 403 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
404 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
405 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
406 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 407 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
408 connection when sending an error that requires the
409 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
410 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
411 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 412 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
413 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
414 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
415 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 416 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
417 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
418 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
419 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 420 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
421 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 422 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
423 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 424 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
425 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 426 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
427 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 428 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
429 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
430 defines a circular filter rule.
431 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
432 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 433 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
434 files.
5ca43bfd 435 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
436 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 437 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
438 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
439 compatibility).
879062a9 440 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 441 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
442 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
443 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 444 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
445 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 446 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
447 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
448 shutdown.
098f80c5 449 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
450 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
451 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 452 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
453 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
454 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
455 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 456 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
457 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
458 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 459 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
460 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 461 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
462 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
463 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
464 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 465 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
466 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
467 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 468 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
469 connect to the remote server name in a
470 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
471 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
472 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
473 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 474 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
475 the program would try to print the option letter that
476 caused the error using the wrong index into the
477 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 478 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
479 attributes from printer options in
480 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 481 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
482 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 483 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 484 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
485 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 486 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
487 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
488 characters.
489 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
490 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
491 the language mode.
492 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
493 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
494 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
495 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
496 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 497 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 498 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
499 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 500 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
501 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 502 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
503 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
504 driver.
997cf8b0 505 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
506 the next available printer rather than waiting until
507 that printer is available.
508 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
509 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
510 printer class instead of a normal printer.
511 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
512 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
513 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 514 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
515 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
516 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
517 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 518 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
519 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
520 to accept connections.
521 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
522 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
523 and current directory.
524 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
525 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
526 into the file type database would no longer be valid
527 for existing jobs.
528 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
529 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
530 actually provided.
531 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 532 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
533 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 534 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
535 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 536 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
537 case-insensitive.
538 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
539 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 540 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
541 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
542 Solaris.
b91c8a76 543 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
544 printing banner pages.
4f759211 545 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 546 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
547 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 548 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
549 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 550 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
551 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
552 file.
8ce19460 553 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
554 description from member printers.
fabb006b 555 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
556 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 557 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 558 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
559 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 560 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
561 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 562 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
563 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
564 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 565 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
566 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
567 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
568 up...
19e7b382 569 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
570 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
571 authentication didn't work for administration
572 operations.
103abc03 573 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
574 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 575 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
576 interface to "localhost".
577 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
578 response to queue state commands, but those commands
579 only return textual data.
580
581
7680b71d 582CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
583
584 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
585 string function header, which is required on systems
586 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
587 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
588 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
589 have to.
590
591
74cfdb8b 592CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
593
dab1a4d8 594 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
595 license exception.
611e4623 596 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
597 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 598 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
599 option if none is provided to automatically select the
600 correct tray.
ed6078a4 601 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
602 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
603 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
604 options.
605 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
606 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
607 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 608 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
609 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
610 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
611 queues) on the server.
612 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
613 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
614 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
615 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 616 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
617 set definitions.
a319615f 618 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
619 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 620 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
621 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 622 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 623 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 624 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
625 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 626 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
627 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 628 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
629 have a small comment header explaining where the file
630 comes from...
6df23e27 631 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 632 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 633 number-up-layout options.
415199da 634 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
635 using the default printer.
636 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
637 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
638 to allow for longer printer names.
639 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
640 history data.
641 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
642 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
643 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
644 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 645 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
646 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
647 caused problems on some installations that would
648 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
649 level 3.
650 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 651 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
652 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 653 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
654 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 655 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
656 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 657 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 658 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
659 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
660 (cupsd).
a4e23897 661 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
662 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
663 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
664 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 665 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
666 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
667 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
668 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
669 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
670 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
671 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
672 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
673 non-ISOLatin1 text.
674 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
675 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
676 of glyphs.
576b82ca 677 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
678 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
679 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
680 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 681 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
682 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
683 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
684 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
685 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 686 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
687 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 688 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
689 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 690 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
691 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 692 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
693 classes.
7200e26c 694 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
695 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
696 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 697 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
698 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
699 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
700 control and browsing based on the current interface
701 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 702 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
703 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 704 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
705 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
706 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
707 group.
f4647930 708 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
709 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 710 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
711 detects that the printer is not connected to the
712 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
713 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
714 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
715 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 716 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
717 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 718 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
719 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 720 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
721 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 722 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
723 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 724 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
725 generated dependencies.
726 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 727 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
728 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
729 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 730 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
731 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
732 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 733 - The backends now read print data using the read()
734 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
735 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 736 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
737 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 738 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
739 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
740 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
741 printers and classes all at once.
742 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
743 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 744 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
745 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
746 value.
1c9c423b 747 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
748 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
749 other options as strings.
f918a565 750 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
751 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
752 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 753 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
754 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
755 option.
74cfdb8b 756 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
757 integers and ranges.
758 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
759 language support for CUPS.
760
761
ee8b7dd3 762CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
763
843779ef 764 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 765 attribute name length or string with language value
766 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 767 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
768 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
769 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 770 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 771 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
772 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 773 - MacOS X fixes.
774 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
775 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
776 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
777 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 778 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
779 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
780 it from waiting for the job to complete when
781 communicating with some IPP implementations that
782 require it.
783
784
d2503e02 785CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
786
28a96fe2 787 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
788 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 789 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
790 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
791 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 792 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
793 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
794 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
795 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
796 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 797 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
798 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
799 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
800 *.convs files.
db911fcb 801 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
802 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
803 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
804 goes away.
7c587866 805 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
806 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 807 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 808 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 809 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 810 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
811 portion of the printer name, and since it would
812 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
813 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 814 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
815 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 816 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
817 connections to improve performance/response time.
818 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
819 from Andrea Suatoni.
820 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
821 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
822 tools support.
823 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
824 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
825 existed.
826 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
827 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 828 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
829 page-set option.
873a6f43 830 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
831 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 832 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
833 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
834 etc.)
bd73c81f 835 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
836 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
837 listing for a printer.
838 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
839 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
840 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 841 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
842 values.
dd5f3453 843 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
844 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 845 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
846 - Updated the Italian message translations.
847 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
848 files.
849 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
850 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 851 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
852 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
853 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 854 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
855 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 856 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
857 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 858 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
859 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 860 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
861 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
862 classification level, if set. This way the original
863 banner settings are preserved when classification
864 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 865 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
866 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 867 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
868 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
869 system default group was not used.
870 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
871 send multiple control files.
872 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
873 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
874 for the "https" scheme.
875 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
876 from the web interface for accounts other than
877 "root".
878 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
879 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
880 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
881 address properly.
882 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
883 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
884 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
885 inside a Location, which is not valid.
886 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
887 information under Linux.
888 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
889 option (if present) in PPD files.
890 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
891 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
892 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
893 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
894 the lppasswd command.
895 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
896 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
897 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
898 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
899 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
900 directory and configuration files are owned by and
901 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
902 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
903 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
904 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
905 restarting cupsd.
906 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
907 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
908 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
909 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
910 for commands on the standard input.
911 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
912 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
913 pointer platforms...
914
915
916CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
917
918 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
919 files.
920 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
921 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
922 destination type for the new destination.
923 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
924 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
925 printer ACLs.
926 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
927 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
928 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
929 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
930 printer-make-and-model attribute.
931
932
933CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
934
935 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
936 files.
937 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
938 files.
939 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
940 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
941 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
942 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
943 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
944 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
945 the device list (lpinfo -m).
946 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
947 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
948 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
949 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
950 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
951 increment. [this caused some versions of the
952 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
953 options exceeded 100...]
954 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
955 was set to "No".
956 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
957 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
958 infinite loop when accepting a request.
959 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
960 functions to make IPP request/response processing
961 faster.
962 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
963 support properly support the "-h" or default
964 server name.
965 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
966 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
967 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
968 support printer instances.
969 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
970 underline formatting.
971 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
972 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
973 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
974 (-1).
975 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
976 from printing to printers in that class.
977 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
978 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
979 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
980 slower systems since more information had to be
981 transferred from server to client.
982 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
983 things like the job title. This had the potential for
984 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
985 machine); bug report from SuSE.
986 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
987 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
988 processing.
989 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
990 to stderr instead of stdout...
991 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
992 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
993 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
994 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
995 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
996 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
997 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
998 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
999 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1000 the Spanish banner files.
1001 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1002 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1003 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1004 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1005 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1006 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1007 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1008 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1009 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1010 information when printing via LPD.
1011 - Added many warning and informational messages
1012 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1013 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1014 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1015 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1016 provided.
1017 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1018 cupsd.conf.
1019 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1020 32k.
1021 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1022 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1023 possible.
1024 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1025 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1026 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1027 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1028 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1029 long values.
1030 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1031 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1032 to CGIs.
1033 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1034 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1035 time.
1036 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1037 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1038 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1039 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1040 result in a blank page being output...
1041 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1042 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1043 page comments when printing files directly...)
1044 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1045 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1046 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1047 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1048 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1049 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1050 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1051 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1052 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1053 original destination.
1054 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1055 requested-attributes attribute in the
1056 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1057 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1058 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1059 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1060 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1061 prints.
1062
1063
1064CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1065
1066 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1067 makefiles to install files properly.
1068
1069
1070CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1071
1072 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1073 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1074 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1075 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1076 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1077 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1078 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1079 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1080 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1081 server.
1082 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1083 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1084 with some types of flow control.
1085 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1086 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1087 server.
1088 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1089 lines in the configuration files.
1090 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1091 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1092 from the server.
1093 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1094 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1095 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1096 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1097 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1098 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1099 script. Previously the job's document format was
1100 used, which was incorrect.
1101 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1102 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1103 "raw" model from the command-line.
1104 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1105 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1106 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1107 printers.
1108 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1109 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1110 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1111 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1112 which caused some confusion... :)
1113 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1114 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1115
1116
1117CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1118
1119 - The configure script did not substitute the
1120 correct user and group names.
1121 - The configure script did not use the full path
1122 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1123 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1124 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1125 duplexing.
1126 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1127 distribution.
1128 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1129 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1130 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1131 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1132 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1133 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1134 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1135 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1136 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1137 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1138 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1139 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1140
1141
1142CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1143
1144 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1145 approach for the various tests.
1146 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1147 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1148 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1149 options to specify the default user and group for
1150 CUPS.
1151 - Added AIX shared library support.
1152 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1153 parallel ports.
1154 - Now use install program or script to install
1155 directories, files, and symlinks.
1156 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1157 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1158 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1159 print.
1160 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1161 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1162 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1163 64-bit boundary.
1164 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1165 skip the Digest keyword.
1166 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1167 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1168 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1169 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1170 authentication from passwd.md5.
1171 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1172 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1173 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1174 PPD files should start much faster now.
1175 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1176 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1177 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1178 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1179 times.
1180 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1181 code if an error occurred.
1182 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1183 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1184 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1185 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1186 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1187 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1188 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1189 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1190 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1191 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1192 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1193 copies would come out instead of N.
1194 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1195 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1196 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1197 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1198 output an even number of pages.
1199 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1200 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1201 from being cancelled early.
1202 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1203 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1204 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1205 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1206 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1207 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1208 "ESC i" graphics command.
1209 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1210 printers to a local class.
1211 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1212 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1213 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1214 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1215 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1216 printers that were part of a class.
1217 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1218 printer more than once.
1219 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1220 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1221 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1222 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1223 account.
1224 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1225 against a location of "/printers/name".
1226 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1227 upgrades properly.
1228 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1229 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1230 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1231 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1232 when using Digest authentication.
1233 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1234 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1235 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1236 file.
1237 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1238 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1239 server.
1240 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1241 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1242 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1243 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1244 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1245 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1246 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1247 not the empty string.
1248 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1249 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1250 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1251 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1252 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1253 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1254 supported file types into the
1255 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1256 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1257 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1258 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1259 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1260 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1261 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1262 or behave irratically.
1263 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1264 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1265 specified.
1266 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1267 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1268 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1269 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1270 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1271 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1272 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1273 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1274 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1275 location or description of the printer.
1276 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1277 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1278 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1279 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1280 multiple groups.
1281 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1282 Apache.
1283 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1284 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1285 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1286 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1287 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1288 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1289 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1290 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1291 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1292 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1293 Ghostscript code.
1294 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1295 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1296 size instead of percent of page size.)
1297 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1298 instead of root.
1299 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1300 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1301 size options.
1302 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1303 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1304 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1305 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1306 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1307 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1308 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1309 character.
1310
1311
1312CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1313
1314 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1315 package for pstoraster.
1316 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1317 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1318 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1319 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1320 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1321 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1322 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1323 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1324 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1325 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1326 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1327 history disabled.
1328 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1329 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1330 connections initially.
1331 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1332 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1333 throughout.
1334 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1335 Richard Begg.)
1336 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1337 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1338 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1339 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1340 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1341 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1342 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1343 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1344 #54489...
1345 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1346 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1347 (only affects page-label and Classification
1348 options.)
1349 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1350 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1351
1352
1353CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1354
1355 - Configuration script changes, including new
1356 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1357 documentation and web content according to your
1358 favorite version of the FHS.
1359 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1360 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1361 test CUPS prior to installation.
1362 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1363 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1364 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1365 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1366 directives.
1367 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1368 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1369 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1370 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1371 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1372 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1373 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1374 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1375 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1376 formats are supported at present.)
1377 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1378 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1379 all browsing off.
1380 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1381 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1382 document.
1383 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1384 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1385 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1386 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1387 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1388 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1389 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1390 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1391 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1392 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1393 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1394 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1395 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1396 server.
1397 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1398 PJL commands from PPD files.
1399 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1400 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1401 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1402 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1403 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1404 the next/current job in the queue.
1405 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1406 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1407 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1408 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1409 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1410 for Sun Raster images.
1411 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1412 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1413 function.
1414 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1415 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1416 command when printing to USB devices.
1417 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1418 the cupsd.conf file.
1419 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1420 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1421 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1422 /dev/urandom.
1423 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1424 httpGetSubField().
1425 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1426 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1427 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1428 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1429 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1430 CGI was currently running.
1431 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1432 option=true or option=false.
1433 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1434 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1435 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1436 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1437 could cause it to crash.
1438 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1439 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1440 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1441 attribute when altering a job.
1442 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1443 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1444 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1445 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1446 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1447 addresses.
1448 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1449 the current classification on each page.
1450 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1451 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1452 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1453 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1454 encryption.
1455 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1456 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1457 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1458 support instances.
1459 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1460 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1461 and should never be used in a production environment.
1462 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1463 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1464 interface.
1465 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1466 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1467 prevent caching of the results.
1468 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1469 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1470 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1471 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1472 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1473 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1474 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1475 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1476 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1477 submitted by a user.
1478 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1479 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1480 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1481 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1482 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1483 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1484 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1485 embedded spaces.
1486 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1487 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1488 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1489 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1490 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1491 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1492 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1493 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1494 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1495 by the GIMP.
1496 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1497 bypassed the authentication checks.
1498 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1499 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1500 a race condition between the client and server for the
1501 upgrade to TLS.
1502 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1503 the pstops filter.
1504 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1505 the custom page size in the raster header.
1506 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1507 size to the size of the printed image.
1508 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1509 which are required by some printers.
1510 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1511 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1512 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1513 DSC).
1514 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1515 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1516 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1517 driver.
1518 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1519 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1520 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1521 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1522 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1523 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1524 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1525 address this problem.
1526 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1527 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1528 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1529 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1530 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1531 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1532 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1533 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1534 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1535 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1536 to manage print jobs.
1537 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1538 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1539 of 0 length.
1540 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1541 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1542 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1543
1544
1545CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1546
1547 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1548 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1549 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1550 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1551 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1552 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1553 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1554 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1555 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1556 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1557 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1558 /dev/ulptN.
1559 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1560 classes it was a member of.
1561 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1562 implicit status of a class.
1563 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1564 from implicit classes.
1565 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1566 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1567 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1568 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1569 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1570 of the scheduler.
1571 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1572 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1573 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1574 the /#copies variable anymore.
1575 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1576 option.
1577 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1578 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1579 for a bad-request error)
1580 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1581 unimplemented, not invalid.
1582 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1583 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1584 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1585 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1586 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1587 (pstoraster).
1588 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1589 which are not used.
1590 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1591 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1592 cgi_initialize_string().
1593 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1594 ippSetCGIVars()
1595 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1596 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1597 leaks.
1598 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1599 fails.
1600 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1601 setuid() calls.
1602 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1603 calls.
1604 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1605 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1606 bad input.
1607 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1608 missing hex digits.
1609
1610
1611CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1612
1613 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1614 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1615 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1616 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1617 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1618 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1619 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1620 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1621 corruption on many printers)
1622 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1623 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1624 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1625 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1626 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1627 requests.
1628 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1629 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1630 was lost.
1631 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1632 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1633 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1634 to be used for a socket.
1635 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1636 a set were numeric or string types.
1637 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1638 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1639 reading *.conf files.
1640 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1641 same logic as GET requests.
1642 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1643 /index.html to requested directory name.
1644 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1645 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1646 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1647 instead of mode 0600.
1648 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1649 instead of 0600.
1650 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1651 system name in log filenames.
1652 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1653 and hex strings.
1654
1655
1656CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1657
1658 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1659 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1660 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1661
1662
1663CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1664
1665 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1666 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1667 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1668 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1669 filter programs properly.
1670 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1671 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1672 versions of GCC.
1673 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1674 cancelled in StartJob().
1675 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1676 written with restricted permissions.
1677 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1678 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1679 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1680 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1681 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1682 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1683 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1684 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1685 syslog file.
1686 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1687 and only specifies the document format if it is
1688 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1689 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1690 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1691 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1692 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1693 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1694 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1695 cancelled.
1696 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1697 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1698 sporatic web interface problems.
1699 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1700 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1701 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1702 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1703 whitespace.
1704 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1705 instead of an integer.
1706 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1707 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1708 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1709 and user-level access control.
1710 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1711 encryption.
1712 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1713 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1714 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1715 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1716 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1717 to the man page.
1718 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1719 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1720 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1721 queued for a printer.
1722 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1723 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1724 reporting.
1725
1726
1727CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1728
1729 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1730 code.
1731 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1732 check in backend/serial.c.
1733 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1734 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1735 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1736 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1737 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1738 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1739 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1740 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1741 anyways)
1742
1743
1744CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1745
1746 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1747 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1748 for run level 5.
1749 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1750 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1751 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1752 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1753 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1754 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1755 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1756
1757
1758CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1759
1760 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1761 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1762 access from the local system.
1763 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1764 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1765 - Documentation updates.
1766 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1767 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1768 RedHat or Mandrake.
1769 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1770 warnings.
1771 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1772 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1773 hex)
1774 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1775 crash the server.
1776 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1777 correct value length for name-with-language and
1778 text-with-language attributes.
1779 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1780 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1781 efficient IPP server performance.
1782 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1783 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1784 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1785 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1786 attack.
1787 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1788 data required when getting the list of printer or
1789 class information. This should improve performance
1790 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1791 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1792 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1793 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1794 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1795 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1796 override the lpoptions default printer.
1797 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1798 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1799 attributes.
1800 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1801 did not check for the correct value for collated
1802 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1803 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1804 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1805 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1806 scale mode 2.
1807 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1808 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1809 that started with a number.
1810 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1811 multiple times in name-with-language and
1812 text-with-language attributes.
1813 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1814 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1815 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1816 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1817 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1818 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1819 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1820 close the spool directory.
1821 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1822 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1823 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1824 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1825 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1826 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1827 larger than the source string; this protects
1828 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1829 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1830 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1831 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1832 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1833 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1834 remote printers.
1835 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1836 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1837 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1838 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1839 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1840 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1841 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1842 3-argument contains() function.
1843 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1844 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1845 database containing 0 printers.
1846 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1847 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1848 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1849 printer was always busy.
1850 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1851 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1852 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1853 jobs.
1854 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1855 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1856 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1857 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1858 57600 and 115200 baud.
1859 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1860 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1861 option in the device URI.
1862 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1863 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1864 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1865 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1866 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1867 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1868 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1869 job attributes to be changed.
1870 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1871 web interface.
1872 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1873 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1874 since they do not map)
1875 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1876 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1877 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1878 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1879 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1880 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1881 child signals while loading devices.
1882 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1883 and classes.
1884 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1885 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1886 driver dithering code.
1887 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1888 after the first active printer.
1889 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1890 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1891 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1892 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1893 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1894 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1895 accepted null values.
1896 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1897 of the backends.
1898 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1899 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1900 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1901 is set in the plot file.
1902 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1903 user name, causing it to always fail.
1904 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1905 under Windows.
1906 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1907 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1908 didn't handle control file job information in any
1909 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1910 a file.
1911 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1912 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1913 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1914 printing on some systems.
1915 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1916 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1917 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1918 it.
1919
1920
1921CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1922
1923 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1924 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1925 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1926 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1927 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1928 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1929 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1930 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1931 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1932 order, which prevented remote printing.
1933 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1934 IPP requests and language information when closing
1935 a client connection.
1936 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1937 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1938 compatibles)
1939 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1940 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1941 on many OS's.
1942 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1943 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1944 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1945 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1946 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1947 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1948 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1949 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1950 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1951 PPD files.
1952 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1953 when the destination printer supported it. This
1954 caused problems when printing text files to other
1955 CUPS servers.
1956 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1957 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1958 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1959 the dates.)
1960 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1961 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1962 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1963 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1964 be clipped.
1965
1966
1967CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1968
1969 - Makefile fixes.
1970 - RPM spec file changes.
1971 - Documentation updates.
1972 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1973 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1974 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1975 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1976 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1977 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1978 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1979 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1980 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1981 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1982 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1983 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1984 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1985 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1986 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1987 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1988 specified.
1989 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1990 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1991 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1992 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1993 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1994 cupsd.conf.
1995 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1996 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1997 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1998 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1999 filter mode 'l'.
2000 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2001 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2002 defaults for all print queues.
2003 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2004 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2005 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2006 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2007 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2008 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2009 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2010 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2011 printer was defined with the same name.
2012 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2013 remove options for a printer or instance.
2014 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2015 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2016 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2017 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2018 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2019 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2020 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2021 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2022 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2023 job-printer-uri attribute.
2024 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2025 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2026 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2027 remote printers.
2028 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2029 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2030 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2031 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2032 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2033 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2034 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2035 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2036 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2037 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2038 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2039 printer set using lpoptions.
2040 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2041 list the printer-specific options and their current
2042 settings.
2043 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2044 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2045 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2046 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2047 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2048 text printing.
2049 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2050 instances.
2051 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2052 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2053 limit.
2054 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2055 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2056 new client connections.
2057 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2058 required pagedevice parameters.
2059 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2060 under Linux.
2061 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2062 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2063 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2064 would stop processing.
2065 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2066 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2067 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2068 that was currently printing a job.
2069 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2070 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2071 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2072 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2073 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2074 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2075 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2076 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2077 option values separated by commas.
2078 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2079 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2080 and free bytes once a minute)
2081 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2082 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2083 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2084 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2085 printers.
2086 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2087 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2088 requests from that address to the server name.
2089 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2090 server.domain.com to localhost.
2091 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2092 the previous device and driver settings (except
2093 for serial ports.)
2094 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2095 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2096 after a job is completed when job file history is
2097 turned off.
2098 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2099 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2100 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2101 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2102 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2103 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2104 for "lpstat -v" output.
2105 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2106 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2107 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2108 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2109 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2110 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2111 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2112 by itself without quoting.
2113
2114
2115CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2116
2117 - Makefile/configure fixes
2118 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2119 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2120 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2121 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2122 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2123 number generator for certificates.
2124 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2125 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2126 the filter user, typically "lp".
2127 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2128 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2129 user.
2130 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2131 function.
2132 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2133 standard input.
2134 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2135 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2136 page header as needed.
2137 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2138 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2139 immediately when last-document was true.
2140 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2141 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2142 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2143 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2144 and many PS printers.
2145 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2146 filters.
2147 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2148 debugging problems.
2149 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2150 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2151 calling problem...)
2152 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2153 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2154 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2155 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2156 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2157 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2158 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2159 by default.
2160 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2161 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2162 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2163 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2164 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2165 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2166 CUPS software.
2167
2168
2169CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2170
2171 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2172 old PDF filter files.
2173 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2174 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2175 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2176 network devices.
2177 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2178 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2179 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2180 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2181 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2182 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2183 is defined otherwise.
2184 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2185 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2186 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2187 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2188 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2189 0-length PPD file was read.
2190 - The image filters were not handling images with
2191 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2192 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2193 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2194 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2195 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2196 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2197 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2198 documents if they don't have it.
2199 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2200 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2201 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2202 --prefix was specified.
2203 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2204 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2205 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2206 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2207 color mode until it can be fixed.
2208 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2209 correctly in all cases.
2210 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2211 time in banner files.
2212
2213
2214CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2215
2216 - Documentation updates.
2217 - Configuration script updates.
2218 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2219 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2220 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2221 ppd_file_t structure.
2222 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2223 before it was used.
2224 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2225 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2226 the localhost address.
2227 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2228 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2229 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2230 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2231 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2232 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2233 PDF support.
2234 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2235 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2236 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2237 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2238 pstoraster.
2239 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2240 the user.
2241 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2242 not running.
2243 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2244 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2245 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2246 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2247 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2248 setpagedevice operator.
2249 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2250 the default banner pages.
2251 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2252 "position" option.
2253 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2254 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2255 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2256 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2257 "printer@server") when possible.
2258 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2259 with no PageSize attributes.
2260 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2261 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2262 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2263 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2264 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2265 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2266 cupsd.
2267 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2268 locations.
2269 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2270 variables to specify installation directories as
2271 needed.
2272 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2273 when the scheduler is started.
2274 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2275 printer.
2276 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2277 printer are automatically deleted.
2278 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2279 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2280 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2281 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2282 request.
2283 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2284 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2285 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2286 is "no-hold".
2287 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2288 responses.
2289 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2290 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2291 printer.
2292 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2293 request fails.
2294 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2295 printer and class names.
2296 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2297 received in a POST request.
2298
2299
2300CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2301
2302 - Documentation updates.
2303 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2304 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2305 method.
2306 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2307 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2308 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2309 - Missing the job-restart template.
2310 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2311 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2312 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2313 not specified.
2314 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2315 from getting through.
2316 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2317 stderr.
2318 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2319 job name and display string, if supported.
2320 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2321 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2322 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2323 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2324 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2325 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2326 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2327 UTF-8...
2328 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2329 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2330 could cause cupsd to crash.
2331 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2332 crash.
2333 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2334 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2335 "HH:MM:SS".
2336 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2337 connection structure.
2338 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2339 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2340 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2341 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2342 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2343 is a potential security hole.
2344 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2345 new pstoraster.
2346 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2347 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2348 (/dev/usblp#)
2349 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2350 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2351 release.
2352
2353
2354CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2355
2356 - Documentation updates.
2357 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2358 now compile better under *BSD.)
2359 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2360 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2361 tray was selected.
2362 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2363 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2364 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2365 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2366 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2367 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2368 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2369 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2370 can handle.
2371 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2372 cause cupsd to crash.
2373 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2374 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2375 mime.types file.
2376 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2377 of file to be used as a banner.
2378 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2379 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2380 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2381 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2382 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2383 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2384 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2385 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2386 the IANA registrations.
2387 - New PostScript banner pages.
2388 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2389 filter.
2390 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2391 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2392 code.
2393 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2394 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2395 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2396 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2397 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2398 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2399 accurate width specification.
2400 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2401 files.
2402 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2403 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2404 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2405 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2406 that support it.
2407 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2408 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2409 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2410 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2411 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2412 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2413 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2414 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2415 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2416 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2417
2418
2419CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2420
2421 - Documentation updates.
2422 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2423 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2424 shell and Bash.
2425 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2426 code.
2427 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2428 manufacturer in the PPD.
2429 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2430 output attributes to be set.
2431 - Added banner page support.
2432 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2433 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2434 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2435 timezone offset.
2436 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2437 file is generated).
2438 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2439 printers when they became available.
2440 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2441 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2442 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2443 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2444 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2445 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2446 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2447 (override with -f)
2448 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2449 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2450 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2451 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2452 folks.
2453 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2454 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2455 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2456 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2457 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2458 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2459 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2460 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2461 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2462 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2463 languages (still only have templates for English)
2464 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2465 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2466 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2467 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2468 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2469 needed for some sites)
2470 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2471 templates.
2472 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2473 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2474 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2475 specific printer.
2476 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2477 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2478 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2479 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2480 authentication.
2481 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2482 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2483 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2484 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2485 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2486 filter.
2487 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2488 US-ASCII.
2489 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2490 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2491 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2492 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2493 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2494 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2495 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2496 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2497 basis without environment variables.
2498 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.

2508 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2509 distribution.
2510 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending

2512 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2513 to match the IPP spec.

2528 networks)
2529 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2530 of PPD files.
