2d417cb3 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
5edf6841 5
2d417cb3 6 - Revamped the child signal handling code to completely
7 avoid deadlock issues on Solaris (STR #325)
784a2f5f 8 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
9 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
10 arguments (STR #313)
7e0b0c8f 11 - The web admin interface did not display an error
12 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
5edf6841 13 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
14 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
15 #292)
16
17
4731c02f 18CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 19
6d8c10c5 20 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
21 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
22 printers that returned status info but were not ready
23 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 24 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
25 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
26 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
27 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 28 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
29 #289)
4731c02f 30 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 31 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
32 10.3 (STR #270)
33 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
aa7b8dba 34 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
35 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
36 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
37 very difficult (STR #277)
38 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
39 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
40 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 41 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
42 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
43 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
225b3683 44 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
45 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
46 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
47 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
48 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
49 language localization for a request; this caused extra
50 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
51 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
52 one language specified (STR #267)
53
54
3fc87a99 55CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
56
a782f61f 57 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
58 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
59 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 60 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
61 is 64 bits (STR #262)
0cd4970e 62 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
63 Hat (STR #253)
64 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
65 the standard constants when reporting printer status
66 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 67 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
68 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
69 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 70 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
71 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
72 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
73 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
74 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
75 URI (STR #247)
76 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
77 (STR #249)
78 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
79 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 80 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
81 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 82 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
83 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 84 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
85 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 86 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
87 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
88 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 89 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
90 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 91 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
92 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
93 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 94 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
95 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 96 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
97 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
98 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 99 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
100 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
101 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
102 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 103 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
104 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
105 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
106 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
107 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 108 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
109 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 110 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
111 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
112 (STR #209)
0c676a75 113 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
114 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 115 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
116 the user already had specified the proper orientation
117 (STR #207)
e5734f04 118 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 119 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
120 #193)
0372885f 121 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
122 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
123 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 124 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
125 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
126 programs rather than the port that the browser
127 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 128 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
129 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
130 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
131 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
132 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
133 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
134 files define the job-priority and
135 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 136 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
137 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 138 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
139 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
140 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
141 caused problems with some implementations of the
142 standard C library. (STR #159)
143 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
144 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 145 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
146 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 147 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
148 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
149 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
150 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 151 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
152 strings if the description string is not available
153 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 154 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
155 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
156 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
157 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
158 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 159 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
160 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
161 #147)
20bde6fb 162 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
163 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
164 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 165 - Printers with special characters in their names were
166 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 167 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
168 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
169 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
170 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
171 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 172 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
173 files did not get installed (STR #148)
174 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
175 without shared libraries (STR #149)
176 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
177 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 178 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
179 capability bit (STR #144)
180 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
181 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 182 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
183 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
184 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 185 #139)
186 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
187 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 188 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
189 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 190 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
191 command after the PJL language escape to work around
192 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
193 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
194 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 195 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 196 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 197
198
8dc4af74 199CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
200
a17e6548 201 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
202 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
203 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 204 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
205 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
206 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
207 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 208 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
209 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 210 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
211 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
212 #117)
213 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 214 - The configure script didn't specify the static
215 libraries properly when configuring with the
216 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 217 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
218 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
219 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 220 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
221 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 222 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
223
224
af57319f 225CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 226
1ed20df6 227 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
228 classes would get double banner pages for each
229 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 230 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
231 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 232 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
233 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
234 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 235 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
236 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
237 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
238 #70)
92498b68 239 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
240 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 241 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 242 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
243 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
244 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 245 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
246 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
247 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
248 annoying error message (STR #45)
249
250
2e6bce36 251CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 252
fb766c9e 253 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
254 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
255 #59)
d8b9e5fa 256 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
257 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 258 - The German web interface templates did not use the
259 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 260 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
261 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 262 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
263 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
264 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
265
266
e309e07a 267CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
268
b07e0cc2 269 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
270 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
271 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
272 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
273 user - STR #48)
b01791df 274 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
275 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 276 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
277 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 278 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
279 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
280 was handled (STR #47)
281 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
282 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
283 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 284 - The scheduler did not put the
285 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
286 attributes group.
287 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
288 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 289 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 290 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
291 and #39)
254aa207 292 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
293 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
294 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
295 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
296 requirements (STR #33)
297 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
298 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
299 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
300 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 301 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
302 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
303 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
304 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 305 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
306 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
307 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 308 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 309 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 310 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
311 Jacke)
312 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
313 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 314
315
b696f4e3 316CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
317
ac098b06 318 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
319 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
320 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
321 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
322 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 323 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
324 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 325 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 326 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
327 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
328 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 329 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
330 not work.
c8a55d2c 331 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
332 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
333 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
334 was not added to the collection value.
335 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
336 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 337 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
338 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
339 directives.
340 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
341 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
342 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 343 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
344 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 345 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
346 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
347 #13)
b696f4e3 348 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
349 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
350 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 351 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 352 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
353 message files such as those used for the job history
354 in /var/spool/cups.
355
356
fc7f6f69 357CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 358
265fb4a4 359 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
360 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 361 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
362 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
363 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
364 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
365 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
366 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 367 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 368 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
369 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 370 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
371 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
372 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 373 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
374 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 375 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
376 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
377 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
378 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 379 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
380 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
381 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
382 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
383 your locale.
5073e3f8 384 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
385 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
386 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 387 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
388 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 389 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
390 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
391 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
392 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
393 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 394 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
395 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 396 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
397 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
398 respectively) and has some additional changes to
399 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
400 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 401 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 402 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
403 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 404 - Added support for STATE: messages
405 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
406 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 407 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
408 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
409 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
410 root.
4d4fb342 411 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
412 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 413 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 414 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
415 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
416 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
417 information.
d40085f1 418 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
419 field.
dd9e85de 420 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
421 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
422 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
423 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
424 attribute to control whether job history data is
425 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
426 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
427 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 428 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
429 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 430 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
431 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
432 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 433 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
434 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
435 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
436 Kubla]
3f2fa036 437 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
438 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
439 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
440 sent. It now only references attributes that change
441 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
442 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
443 2k.
444 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
445 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
446 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 447 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
448 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 449 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
450 printer was available.
451 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
452 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
453 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 454 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
455 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 456 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
457 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
458 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 459 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
460 the image on the page when printing in landscape
461 orientation.
b3291c5a 462 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
463 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
464 and ManualFeed commands.
465 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
466 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 467 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
468 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
469 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
470 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
471 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 472 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
473 list of available devices, when it should have been
474 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 475 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
476 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 477 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
478 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 479 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
480 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
481 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
482 up...
2e32fcdb 483 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
484 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
485 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
486 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 487 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
488 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
489 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
490 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 491 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
492 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 493 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
494 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
495 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 496 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
497 variable under MacOS X.
498 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
499 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 500 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
501 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 502 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
503 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
504 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 505 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
506 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 507 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
508 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
509 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 510 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 511 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
512 sequence.
49d1718a 513 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
514 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 515 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 516 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
517 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 518 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
519 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 520 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
521 Apple.
8bd0441f 522 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
523 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 524 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
525 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
526 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
527 option.
528 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
529 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 530 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
531 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
532 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 533 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
534 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
535 via IPP.
edd85093 536 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
537 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 538 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
539 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 540 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
541 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
542 means that printers that don't report their serial
543 numbers in the device ID string will not be
544 individually selectable.
d0598693 545 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
546 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 547 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 548 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
549 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
550 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
551 the same.
552 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
553 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
554 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 555 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
556 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 557 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
558 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 559 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
560 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
561 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 562 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
563 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 564 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
565 an attribute definition.
de218675 566 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
567 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
568 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
569 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 570 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
571 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
572 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
573 situations. The warning message is now written no more
574 than once per minute.
67fa1315 575 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
576 PS RIPs.
320115a7 577 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
578 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
579 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 580 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
581 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
582 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
583 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
584 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
585 program or man page files.
586
587
759f5023 588CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
589
e38a7cef 590 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
591 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
592 write a job control file.
f63a430f 593 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
594 directive to control whether new printers can be added
595 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
596 default is to not allow printers with these device
597 URIs.
767ae392 598 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
599 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
600 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 601 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
602 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
603 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
604 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 605 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
606 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 607 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
608 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
609 attacks.
901b295d 610 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
611 interface.
612 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
613 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
614 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 615 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
616 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
617 the scheduler did not close the connections
618 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 619 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
620 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 621 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
622 back to its original at the end of a job; this
623 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
624 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 625 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
626 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 627 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
628 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
629 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
630 PPD files.
dcc2e394 631 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
632 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
633 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 634 - The web interface did not always report the correct
635 error message.
759f5023 636 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
637 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
638 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
639 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
640 process from returning.
641
642
3cc7bca4 643CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
644
5c826e17 645 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
646 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 647 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 648 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
649 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 650 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
651 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
652 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
653 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
654 ticket data.
655 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
656 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
657 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 658 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
659 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
660 group membership still requires the account name to be
661 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 662 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
663 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
664 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
665 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 666 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
667 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 668 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
669 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
670 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
671 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
672 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 673 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
674 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 675 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
676 caused by servers sending the status line and
677 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 678 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
679 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
680 empty.
78143282 681 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
682 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 683 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
684 Windows.
f33d1239 685 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
686 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 687 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
688 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
689 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 690 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
691 (interrupted system call) errors.
692 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
693 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
694 caused by the child signal handler.
695 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
696 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
697 error.
e1e31a38 698 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
699 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 700 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
701 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 702 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
703 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
704 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 705 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
706 properly localized time string.
549d1888 707 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
708 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
709 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 710 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
711 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 712 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
713 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
714 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
715 scheduler.
716 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
717 scheduler so that the printer object information is
718 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
719 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
720 queues.
854d3bb2 721 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
722 filename.
137d4d44 723 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
724 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
725 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
726 automatic form feed.
727 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 728 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
729 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 730 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
731 MacOS X.
732 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
733 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
734 has been removed.
735
736
06415a96 737CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
738
727e6d14 739 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
740 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
741 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
742 printer.
743 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
744 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 745 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
746 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
747 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 748 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
749 you can display completed jobs as well as
750 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 751 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
752 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
753 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 754 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
755 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
756 occurs.
db628f45 757 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
758 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 759 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
760 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
761 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
762 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
763 the page number.
da312e94 764 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
765 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 766 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 767 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
768 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
769 banner pages.
25037b2b 770 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
771 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
772 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 773 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 774 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
775 reliably.
a9219725 776 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
777 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
778 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
779 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 780 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
781 connection when sending an error that requires the
782 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
783 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
784 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 785 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
786 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
787 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
788 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 789 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
790 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
791 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
792 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 793 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
794 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 795 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
796 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 797 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
798 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 799 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
800 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 801 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
802 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
803 defines a circular filter rule.
804 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
805 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 806 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
807 files.
5ca43bfd 808 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
809 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 810 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
811 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
812 compatibility).
879062a9 813 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 814 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
815 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
816 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 817 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
818 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 819 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
820 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
821 shutdown.
098f80c5 822 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
823 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
824 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 825 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
826 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
827 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
828 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 829 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
830 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
831 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 832 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
833 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 834 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
835 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
836 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
837 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 838 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
839 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
840 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 841 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
842 connect to the remote server name in a
843 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
844 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
845 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
846 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 847 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
848 the program would try to print the option letter that
849 caused the error using the wrong index into the
850 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 851 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
852 attributes from printer options in
853 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 854 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
855 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 856 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 857 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
858 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 859 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
860 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
861 characters.
862 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
863 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
864 the language mode.
865 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
866 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
867 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
868 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
869 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 870 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 871 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
872 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 873 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
874 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 875 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
876 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
877 driver.
997cf8b0 878 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
879 the next available printer rather than waiting until
880 that printer is available.
881 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
882 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
883 printer class instead of a normal printer.
884 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
885 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
886 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 887 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
888 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
889 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
890 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 891 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
892 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
893 to accept connections.
894 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
895 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
896 and current directory.
897 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
898 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
899 into the file type database would no longer be valid
900 for existing jobs.
901 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
902 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
903 actually provided.
904 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 905 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
906 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 907 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
908 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 909 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
910 case-insensitive.
911 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
912 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 913 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
914 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
915 Solaris.
b91c8a76 916 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
917 printing banner pages.
4f759211 918 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 919 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
920 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 921 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
922 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 923 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
924 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
925 file.
8ce19460 926 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
927 description from member printers.
fabb006b 928 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
929 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 930 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 931 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
932 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 933 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
934 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 935 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
936 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
937 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 938 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
939 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
940 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
941 up...
19e7b382 942 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
943 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
944 authentication didn't work for administration
945 operations.
103abc03 946 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
947 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 948 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
949 interface to "localhost".
950 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
951 response to queue state commands, but those commands
952 only return textual data.
953
954
7680b71d 955CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
956
957 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
958 string function header, which is required on systems
959 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
960 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
961 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
962 have to.
963
964
74cfdb8b 965CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
966
dab1a4d8 967 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
968 license exception.
611e4623 969 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
970 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 971 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
972 option if none is provided to automatically select the
973 correct tray.
ed6078a4 974 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
975 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
976 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
977 options.
978 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
979 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
980 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 981 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
982 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
983 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
984 queues) on the server.
985 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
986 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
987 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
988 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 989 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
990 set definitions.
a319615f 991 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
992 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 993 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
994 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 995 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 996 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 997 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
998 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 999 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1000 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1001 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1002 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1003 comes from...
6df23e27 1004 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1005 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1006 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1007 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1008 using the default printer.
1009 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1010 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1011 to allow for longer printer names.
1012 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1013 history data.
1014 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1015 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1016 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1017 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1018 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1019 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1020 caused problems on some installations that would
1021 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1022 level 3.
1023 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1024 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1025 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1026 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1027 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1028 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1029 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1030 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1031 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1032 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1033 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1034 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1035 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1036 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1037 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1038 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1039 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1040 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1041 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1042 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1043 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1044 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1045 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1046 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1047 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1048 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1049 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1050 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1051 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1052 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1053 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1054 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1055 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1056 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1057 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1058 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1059 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1060 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1061 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1062 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1063 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1064 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1065 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1066 classes.
7200e26c 1067 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1068 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1069 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1070 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1071 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1072 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1073 control and browsing based on the current interface
1074 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1075 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1076 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1077 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1078 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1079 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1080 group.
f4647930 1081 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1082 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1083 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1084 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1085 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1086 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1087 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1088 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1089 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1090 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1091 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1092 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1093 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1094 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1095 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1096 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1097 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1098 generated dependencies.
1099 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1100 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1101 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1102 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1103 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1104 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1105 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1106 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1107 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1108 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1109 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1110 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1111 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1112 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1113 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1114 printers and classes all at once.
1115 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1116 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1117 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1118 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1119 value.
1c9c423b 1120 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1121 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1122 other options as strings.
f918a565 1123 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1124 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1125 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1126 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1127 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1128 option.
74cfdb8b 1129 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1130 integers and ranges.
1131 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1132 language support for CUPS.
1133
1134
ee8b7dd3 1135CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1136
843779ef 1137 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1138 attribute name length or string with language value
1139 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1140 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1141 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1142 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1143 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1144 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1145 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1146 - MacOS X fixes.
1147 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1148 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1149 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1150 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1151 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1152 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1153 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1154 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1155 require it.
1156
1157
d2503e02 1158CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1159
28a96fe2 1160 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1161 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1162 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1163 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1164 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1165 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1166 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1167 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1168 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1169 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1170 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1171 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1172 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1173 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1174 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1175 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1176 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1177 goes away.
7c587866 1178 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1179 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1180 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1181 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1182 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1183 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1184 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1185 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1186 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1187 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1188 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1189 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1190 connections to improve performance/response time.
1191 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1192 from Andrea Suatoni.
1193 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1194 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1195 tools support.
1196 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1197 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1198 existed.
1199 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1200 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1201 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1202 page-set option.
873a6f43 1203 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1204 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1205 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1206 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1207 etc.)
bd73c81f 1208 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1209 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1210 listing for a printer.
1211 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1212 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1213 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1214 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1215 values.
dd5f3453 1216 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1217 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1218 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1219 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1220 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1221 files.
1222 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1223 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1224 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1225 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1226 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1227 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1228 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1229 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1230 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1231 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1232 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1233 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1234 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1235 classification level, if set. This way the original
1236 banner settings are preserved when classification
1237 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1238 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1239 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1240 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1241 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1242 system default group was not used.
1243 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1244 send multiple control files.
1245 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1246 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1247 for the "https" scheme.
1248 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1249 from the web interface for accounts other than
1250 "root".
1251 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1252 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1253 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1254 address properly.
1255 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1256 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1257 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1258 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1259 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1260 information under Linux.
1261 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1262 option (if present) in PPD files.
1263 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1264 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1265 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1266 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1267 the lppasswd command.
1268 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1269 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1270 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1271 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1272 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1273 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1274 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1275 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1276 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1277 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1278 restarting cupsd.
1279 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1280 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1281 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1282 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1283 for commands on the standard input.
1284 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1285 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1286 pointer platforms...
1287
1288
1289CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1290
1291 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1292 files.
1293 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1294 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1295 destination type for the new destination.
1296 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1297 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1298 printer ACLs.
1299 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1300 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1301 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1302 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1303 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1304
1305
1306CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1307
1308 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1309 files.
1310 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1311 files.
1312 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1313 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1314 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1315 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1316 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1317 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1318 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1319 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1320 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1321 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1322 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1323 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1324 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1325 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1326 options exceeded 100...]
1327 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1328 was set to "No".
1329 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1330 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1331 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1332 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1333 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1334 faster.
1335 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1336 support properly support the "-h" or default
1337 server name.
1338 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1339 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1340 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1341 support printer instances.
1342 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1343 underline formatting.
1344 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1345 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1346 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1347 (-1).
1348 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1349 from printing to printers in that class.
1350 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1351 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1352 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1353 slower systems since more information had to be
1354 transferred from server to client.
1355 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1356 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1357 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1358 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1359 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1360 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1361 processing.
1362 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1363 to stderr instead of stdout...
1364 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1365 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1366 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1367 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1368 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1369 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1370 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1371 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1372 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1373 the Spanish banner files.
1374 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1375 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1376 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1377 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1378 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1379 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1380 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1381 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1382 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1383 information when printing via LPD.
1384 - Added many warning and informational messages
1385 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1386 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1387 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1388 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1389 provided.
1390 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1391 cupsd.conf.
1392 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1393 32k.
1394 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1395 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1396 possible.
1397 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1398 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1399 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1400 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1401 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1402 long values.
1403 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1404 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1405 to CGIs.
1406 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1407 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1408 time.
1409 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1410 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1411 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1412 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1413 result in a blank page being output...
1414 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1415 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1416 page comments when printing files directly...)
1417 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1418 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1419 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1420 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1421 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1422 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1423 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1424 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1425 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1426 original destination.
1427 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1428 requested-attributes attribute in the
1429 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1430 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1431 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1432 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1433 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1434 prints.
1435
1436
1437CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1438
1439 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1440 makefiles to install files properly.
1441
1442
1443CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1444
1445 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1446 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1447 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1448 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1449 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1450 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1451 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1452 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1453 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1454 server.
1455 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1456 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1457 with some types of flow control.
1458 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1459 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1460 server.
1461 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1462 lines in the configuration files.
1463 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1464 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1465 from the server.
1466 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1467 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1468 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1469 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1470 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1471 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1472 script. Previously the job's document format was
1473 used, which was incorrect.
1474 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1475 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1476 "raw" model from the command-line.
1477 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1478 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1479 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1480 printers.
1481 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1482 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1483 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1484 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1485 which caused some confusion... :)
1486 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1487 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1488
1489
1490CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1491
1492 - The configure script did not substitute the
1493 correct user and group names.
1494 - The configure script did not use the full path
1495 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1496 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1497 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1498 duplexing.
1499 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1500 distribution.
1501 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1502 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1503 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1504 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1505 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1506 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1507 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1508 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1509 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1510 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1511 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1512 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1513
1514
1515CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1516
1517 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1518 approach for the various tests.
1519 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1520 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1521 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1522 options to specify the default user and group for
1523 CUPS.
1524 - Added AIX shared library support.
1525 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1526 parallel ports.
1527 - Now use install program or script to install
1528 directories, files, and symlinks.
1529 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1530 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1531 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1532 print.
1533 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1534 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1535 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1536 64-bit boundary.
1537 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1538 skip the Digest keyword.
1539 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1540 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1541 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1542 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1543 authentication from passwd.md5.
1544 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1545 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1546 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1547 PPD files should start much faster now.
1548 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1549 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1550 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1551 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1552 times.
1553 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1554 code if an error occurred.
1555 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1556 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1557 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1558 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1559 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1560 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1561 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1562 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1563 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1564 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1565 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1566 copies would come out instead of N.
1567 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1568 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1569 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1570 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1571 output an even number of pages.
1572 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1573 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1574 from being cancelled early.
1575 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1576 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1577 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1578 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1579 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1580 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1581 "ESC i" graphics command.
1582 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1583 printers to a local class.
1584 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1585 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1586 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1587 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1588 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1589 printers that were part of a class.
1590 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1591 printer more than once.
1592 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1593 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1594 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1595 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1596 account.
1597 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1598 against a location of "/printers/name".
1599 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1600 upgrades properly.
1601 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1602 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1603 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1604 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1605 when using Digest authentication.
1606 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1607 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1608 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1609 file.
1610 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1611 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1612 server.
1613 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1614 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1615 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1616 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1617 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1618 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1619 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1620 not the empty string.
1621 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1622 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1623 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1624 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1625 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1626 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1627 supported file types into the
1628 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1629 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1630 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1631 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1632 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1633 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1634 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1635 or behave irratically.
1636 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1637 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1638 specified.
1639 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1640 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1641 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1642 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1643 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1644 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1645 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1646 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1647 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1648 location or description of the printer.
1649 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1650 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1651 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1652 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1653 multiple groups.
1654 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1655 Apache.
1656 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1657 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1658 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1659 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1660 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1661 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1662 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1663 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1664 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1665 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1666 Ghostscript code.
1667 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1668 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1669 size instead of percent of page size.)
1670 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1671 instead of root.
1672 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1673 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1674 size options.
1675 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1676 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1677 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1678 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1679 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1680 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1681 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1682 character.
1683
1684
1685CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1686
1687 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1688 package for pstoraster.
1689 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1690 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1691 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1692 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1693 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1694 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1695 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1696 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1697 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1698 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1699 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1700 history disabled.
1701 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1702 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1703 connections initially.
1704 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1705 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1706 throughout.
1707 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1708 Richard Begg.)
1709 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1710 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1711 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1712 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1713 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1714 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1715 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1716 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1717 #54489...
1718 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1719 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1720 (only affects page-label and Classification
1721 options.)
1722 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1723 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1724
1725
1726CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1727
1728 - Configuration script changes, including new
1729 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1730 documentation and web content according to your
1731 favorite version of the FHS.
1732 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1733 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1734 test CUPS prior to installation.
1735 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1736 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1737 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1738 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1739 directives.
1740 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1741 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1742 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1743 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1744 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1745 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1746 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1747 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1748 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1749 formats are supported at present.)
1750 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1751 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1752 all browsing off.
1753 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1754 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1755 document.
1756 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1757 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1758 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1759 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1760 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1761 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1762 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1763 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1764 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1765 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1766 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1767 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1768 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1769 server.
1770 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1771 PJL commands from PPD files.
1772 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1773 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1774 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1775 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1776 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1777 the next/current job in the queue.
1778 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1779 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1780 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1781 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1782 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1783 for Sun Raster images.
1784 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1785 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1786 function.
1787 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1788 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1789 command when printing to USB devices.
1790 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1791 the cupsd.conf file.
1792 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1793 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1794 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1795 /dev/urandom.
1796 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1797 httpGetSubField().
1798 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1799 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1800 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1801 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1802 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1803 CGI was currently running.
1804 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1805 option=true or option=false.
1806 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1807 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1808 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1809 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1810 could cause it to crash.
1811 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1812 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1813 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1814 attribute when altering a job.
1815 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1816 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1817 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1818 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1819 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1820 addresses.
1821 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1822 the current classification on each page.
1823 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1824 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1825 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1826 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1827 encryption.
1828 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1829 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1830 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1831 support instances.
1832 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1833 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1834 and should never be used in a production environment.
1835 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1836 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1837 interface.
1838 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1839 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1840 prevent caching of the results.
1841 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1842 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1843 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1844 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1845 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1846 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1847 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1848 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1849 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1850 submitted by a user.
1851 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1852 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1853 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1854 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1855 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1856 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1857 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1858 embedded spaces.
1859 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1860 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1861 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1862 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1863 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1864 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1865 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1866 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1867 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1868 by the GIMP.
1869 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1870 bypassed the authentication checks.
1871 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1872 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1873 a race condition between the client and server for the
1874 upgrade to TLS.
1875 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1876 the pstops filter.
1877 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1878 the custom page size in the raster header.
1879 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1880 size to the size of the printed image.
1881 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1882 which are required by some printers.
1883 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1884 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1885 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1886 DSC).
1887 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1888 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1889 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1890 driver.
1891 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1892 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1893 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1894 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1895 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1896 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1897 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1898 address this problem.
1899 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1900 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1901 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1902 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1903 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1904 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1905 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1906 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1907 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1908 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1909 to manage print jobs.
1910 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1911 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1912 of 0 length.
1913 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1914 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1915 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1916
1917
1918CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1919
1920 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1921 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1922 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1923 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1924 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1925 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1926 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1927 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1928 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1929 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1930 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1931 /dev/ulptN.
1932 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1933 classes it was a member of.
1934 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1935 implicit status of a class.
1936 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1937 from implicit classes.
1938 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1939 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1940 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1941 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1942 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1943 of the scheduler.
1944 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1945 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1946 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1947 the /#copies variable anymore.
1948 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1949 option.
1950 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1951 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1952 for a bad-request error)
1953 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1954 unimplemented, not invalid.
1955 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1956 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1957 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1958 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1959 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1960 (pstoraster).
1961 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1962 which are not used.
1963 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1964 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1965 cgi_initialize_string().
1966 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1967 ippSetCGIVars()
1968 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1969 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1970 leaks.
1971 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1972 fails.
1973 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1974 setuid() calls.
1975 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1976 calls.
1977 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1978 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1979 bad input.
1980 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1981 missing hex digits.
1982
1983
1984CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1985
1986 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1987 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1988 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1989 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1990 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1991 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1992 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1993 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1994 corruption on many printers)
1995 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1996 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1997 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1998 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1999 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2000 requests.
2001 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2002 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2003 was lost.
2004 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2005 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2006 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2007 to be used for a socket.
2008 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2009 a set were numeric or string types.
2010 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2011 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2012 reading *.conf files.
2013 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2014 same logic as GET requests.
2015 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2016 /index.html to requested directory name.
2017 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2018 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2019 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2020 instead of mode 0600.
2021 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2022 instead of 0600.
2023 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2024 system name in log filenames.
2025 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2026 and hex strings.
2027
2028
2029CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2030
2031 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2032 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2033 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2034
2035
2036CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2037
2038 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2039 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2040 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2041 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2042 filter programs properly.
2043 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2044 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2045 versions of GCC.
2046 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2047 cancelled in StartJob().
2048 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2049 written with restricted permissions.
2050 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2051 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2052 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2053 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2054 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2055 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2056 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2057 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2058 syslog file.
2059 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2060 and only specifies the document format if it is
2061 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2062 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2063 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2064 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2065 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2066 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2067 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2068 cancelled.
2069 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2070 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2071 sporatic web interface problems.
2072 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2073 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2074 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2075 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2076 whitespace.
2077 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2078 instead of an integer.
2079 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2080 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2081 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2082 and user-level access control.
2083 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2084 encryption.
2085 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2086 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2087 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2088 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2089 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2090 to the man page.
2091 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2092 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2093 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2094 queued for a printer.
2095 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2096 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2097 reporting.
2098
2099
2100CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2101
2102 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2103 code.
2104 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2105 check in backend/serial.c.
2106 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2107 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2108 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2109 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2110 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2111 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2112 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2113 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2114 anyways)
2115
2116
2117CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2118
2119 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2120 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2121 for run level 5.
2122 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2123 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2124 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2125 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2126 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2127 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2128 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2129
2130
2131CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2132
2133 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2134 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2135 access from the local system.
2136 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2137 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2138 - Documentation updates.
2139 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2140 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2141 RedHat or Mandrake.
2142 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2143 warnings.
2144 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2145 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2146 hex)
2147 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2148 crash the server.
2149 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2150 correct value length for name-with-language and
2151 text-with-language attributes.
2152 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2153 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2154 efficient IPP server performance.
2155 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2156 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2157 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2158 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2159 attack.
2160 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2161 data required when getting the list of printer or
2162 class information. This should improve performance
2163 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2164 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2165 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2166 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2167 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2168 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2169 override the lpoptions default printer.
2170 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2171 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2172 attributes.
2173 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2174 did not check for the correct value for collated
2175 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2176 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2177 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2178 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2179 scale mode 2.
2180 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2181 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2182 that started with a number.
2183 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2184 multiple times in name-with-language and
2185 text-with-language attributes.
2186 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2187 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2188 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2189 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2190 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2191 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2192 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2193 close the spool directory.
2194 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2195 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2196 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2197 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2198 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2199 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2200 larger than the source string; this protects
2201 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2202 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2203 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2204 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2205 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2206 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2207 remote printers.
2208 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2209 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2210 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2211 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2212 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2213 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2214 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2215 3-argument contains() function.
2216 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2217 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2218 database containing 0 printers.
2219 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2220 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2221 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2222 printer was always busy.
2223 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2224 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2225 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2226 jobs.
2227 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2228 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2229 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2230 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2231 57600 and 115200 baud.
2232 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2233 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2234 option in the device URI.
2235 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2236 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2237 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2238 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2239 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2240 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2241 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2242 job attributes to be changed.
2243 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2244 web interface.
2245 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2246 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2247 since they do not map)
2248 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2249 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2250 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2251 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2252 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2253 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2254 child signals while loading devices.
2255 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2256 and classes.
2257 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2258 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2259 driver dithering code.
2260 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2261 after the first active printer.
2262 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2263 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2264 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2265 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2266 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2267 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2268 accepted null values.
2269 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2270 of the backends.
2271 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2272 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2273 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2274 is set in the plot file.
2275 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2276 user name, causing it to always fail.
2277 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2278 under Windows.
2279 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2280 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2281 didn't handle control file job information in any
2282 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2283 a file.
2284 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2285 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2286 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2287 printing on some systems.
2288 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2289 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2290 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2291 it.
2292
2293
2294CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2295
2296 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2297 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2298 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2299 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2300 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2301 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2302 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2303 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2304 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2305 order, which prevented remote printing.
2306 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2307 IPP requests and language information when closing
2308 a client connection.
2309 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2310 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2311 compatibles)
2312 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2313 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2314 on many OS's.
2315 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2316 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2317 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2318 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2319 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2320 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2321 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2322 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2323 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2324 PPD files.
2325 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2326 when the destination printer supported it. This
2327 caused problems when printing text files to other
2328 CUPS servers.
2329 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2330 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2331 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2332 the dates.)
2333 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2334 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2335 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2336 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2337 be clipped.
2338
2339
2340CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2341
2342 - Makefile fixes.
2343 - RPM spec file changes.
2344 - Documentation updates.
2345 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2346 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2347 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2348 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2349 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2350 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2351 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2352 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2353 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2354 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2355 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2356 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2357 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2358 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2359 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2360 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2361 specified.
2362 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2363 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2364 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2365 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2366 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2367 cupsd.conf.
2368 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2369 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2370 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2371 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2372 filter mode 'l'.
2373 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2374 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2375 defaults for all print queues.
2376 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2377 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2378 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2379 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2380 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2381 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2382 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2383 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2384 printer was defined with the same name.
2385 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2386 remove options for a printer or instance.
2387 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2388 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2389 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2390 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2391 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2392 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2393 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2394 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2395 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2396 job-printer-uri attribute.
2397 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2398 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2399 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2400 remote printers.
2401 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2402 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2403 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2404 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2405 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2406 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2407 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2408 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2409 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2410 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2411 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2412 printer set using lpoptions.
2413 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2414 list the printer-specific options and their current
2415 settings.
2416 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2417 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2418 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2419 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2420 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2421 text printing.
2422 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2423 instances.
2424 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2425 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2426 limit.
2427 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2428 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2429 new client connections.
2430 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2431 required pagedevice parameters.
2432 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2433 under Linux.
2434 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2435 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2436 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2437 would stop processing.
2438 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2439 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2440 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2441 that was currently printing a job.
2442 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2443 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2444 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2445 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2446 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2447 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2448 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2449 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2450 option values separated by commas.
2451 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2452 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2453 and free bytes once a minute)
2454 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2455 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2456 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2457 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2458 printers.
2459 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2460 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2461 requests from that address to the server name.
2462 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2463 server.domain.com to localhost.
2464 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2465 the previous device and driver settings (except
2466 for serial ports.)
2467 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2468 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2469 after a job is completed when job file history is
2470 turned off.
2471 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2472 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2473 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2474 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2475 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2476 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2477 for "lpstat -v" output.
2478 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2479 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2480 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2481 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2482 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2483 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2484 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2485 by itself without quoting.
2486
2487
2488CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2489
2490 - Makefile/configure fixes
2491 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2492 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2493 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2494 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2495 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2496 number generator for certificates.
2497 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2498 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2499 the filter user, typically "lp".
2500 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2501 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2502 user.
2503 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2504 function.
2505 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2506 standard input.
2507 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2508 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2509 page header as needed.
2510 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2511 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2512 immediately when last-document was true.
2513 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2514 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2515 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2516 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2517 and many PS printers.
2518 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2519 filters.
2520 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2521 debugging problems.
2522 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2523 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2524 calling problem...)
2525 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2526 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2527 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2528 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2529 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2530 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2531 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2532 by default.
2533 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2534 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2535 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2536 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2537 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2538 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2539 CUPS software.
2540
2541
2542CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2543
2544 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2545 old PDF filter files.
2546 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2547 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2548 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2549 network devices.
2550 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2551 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2552 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2553 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2554 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2555 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2556 is defined otherwise.
2557 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2558 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2559 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2560 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2561 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2562 0-length PPD file was read.
2563 - The image filters were not handling images with
2564 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2565 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2566 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2567 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2568 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2569 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2570 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2571 documents if they don't have it.
2572 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2573 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2574 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2575 --prefix was specified.
2576 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2577 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2578 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2579 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2580 color mode until it can be fixed.
2581 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2582 correctly in all cases.
2583 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2584 time in banner files.
2585
2586
2587CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2588
2589 - Documentation updates.
2590 - Configuration script updates.
2591 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2592 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2593 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2594 ppd_file_t structure.
2595 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2596 before it was used.
2597 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2598 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2599 the localhost address.
2600 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2601 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2602 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2603 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2604 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2605 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2606 PDF support.
2607 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2608 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2609 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2610 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2611 pstoraster.
2612 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2613 the user.
2614 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2615 not running.
2616 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2617 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2618 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2619 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2620 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2621 setpagedevice operator.
2622 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2623 the default banner pages.
2624 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2625 "position" option.
2626 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2627 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2628 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2629 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2630 "printer@server") when possible.
2631 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2632 with no PageSize attributes.
2633 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2634 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2635 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2636 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2637 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2638 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2639 cupsd.
2640 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2641 locations.
2642 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2643 variables to specify installation directories as
2644 needed.
2645 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2646 when the scheduler is started.
2647 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2648 printer.
2649 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2650 printer are automatically deleted.
2651 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2652 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2653 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2654 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2655 request.
2656 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2657 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2658 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2659 is "no-hold".
2660 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2661 responses.
2662 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2663 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2664 printer.
2665 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2666 request fails.
2667 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2668 printer and class names.
2669 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2670 received in a POST request.
2671
2672
2673CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2674
2675 - Documentation updates.
2676 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2677 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2678 method.
2679 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2680 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2681 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2682 - Missing the job-restart template.
2683 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2684 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2685 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2686 not specified.
2687 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2688 from getting through.
2689 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2690 stderr.
2691 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2692 job name and display string, if supported.
2693 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2694 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2695 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2696 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2697 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2698 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2699 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2700 UTF-8...
2701 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2702 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2703 could cause cupsd to crash.
2704 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2705 crash.
2706 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2707 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2708 "HH:MM:SS".
2709 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2710 connection structure.
2711 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2712 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2713 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2714 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2715 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2716 is a potential security hole.
2717 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2718 new pstoraster.
2719 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2720 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2721 (/dev/usblp#)
2722 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2723 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2724 release.
2725
2726
2727CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2728
2729 - Documentation updates.
2730 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2731 now compile better under *BSD.)
2732 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2733 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2734 tray was selected.
2735 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2736 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2737 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2738 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2739 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2740 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2741 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2742 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2743 can handle.
2744 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2745 cause cupsd to crash.
2746 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2747 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2748 mime.types file.
2749 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2750 of file to be used as a banner.
2751 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2752 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2753 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2754 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2755 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2756 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2757 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2758 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2759 the IANA registrations.
2760 - New PostScript banner pages.
2761 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2762 filter.
2763 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2764 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2765 code.
2766 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2767 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2768 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2769 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2770 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2771 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2772 accurate width specification.
2773 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2774 files.
2775 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2776 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2777 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2778 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2779 that support it.
2780 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2781 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2782 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2783 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2784 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2785 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2786 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2787 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2788 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2789 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2790
2791
2792CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2793
2794 - Documentation updates.
2795 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2796 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2797 shell and Bash.
2798 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2799 code.
2800 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2801 manufacturer in the PPD.
2802 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2803 output attributes to be set.
2804 - Added banner page support.
2805 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2806 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2807 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2808 timezone offset.
2809 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2810 file is generated).
2811 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2812 printers when they became available.
2813 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2814 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2815 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2816 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2817 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2818 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2819 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2820 (override with -f)
2821 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2822 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2823 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2824 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2825 folks.
2826 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2827 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2828 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2829 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2830 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2831 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2832 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2833 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2834 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2835 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2836 languages (still only have templates for English)
2837 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2838 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2839 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2840 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2841 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2842 needed for some sites)
2843 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2844 templates.
2845 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2846 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2847 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2848 specific printer.
2849 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2850 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2851 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2852 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2853 authentication.
2854 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2855 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2856 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2857 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2858 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
