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

1976 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1977 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1978 network devices.
1979 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1980 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1981 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1982 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.

1991 0-length PPD file was read.
1992 - The image filters were not handling images with
1993 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1994 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1995 instead of black output like pstoraster.

2002 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2003 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2004 --prefix was specified.

2014
2015
2016CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2017
2018 - Documentation updates.
2019 - Configuration script updates.
2020 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2021 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2022 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2023 ppd_file_t structure.
2024 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2025 before it was used.
2026 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2027 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2028 the localhost address.
2029 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2030 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2031 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2032 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2033 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2034 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2035 PDF support.
2036 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2037 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2038 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2039 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2040 pstoraster.
2041 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2042 the user.
2043 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2044 not running.
2045 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2046 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2047 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2048 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2049 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2050 setpagedevice operator.
2051 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2052 the default banner pages.
2053 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2054 "position" option.
2055 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2056 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2057 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2058 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2059 "printer@server") when possible.
2060 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2061 with no PageSize attributes.
2062 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2063 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2064 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2065 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2066 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2067 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2068 cupsd.
2069 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2070 locations.
2071 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2072 variables to specify installation directories as
2073 needed.
2074 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2075 when the scheduler is started.
2076 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2077 printer.
2078 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2079 printer are automatically deleted.
2080 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2081 time-at-completed attributes in job.

2083 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2084 request.
2085 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2086 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2087 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2088 is "no-hold".
2089 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2090 responses.
2091 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2092 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2093 printer.
2094 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2095 request fails.
2096 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2097 printer and class names.
2098 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2099 received in a POST request.
2100
2101
2102CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2103
2104 - Documentation updates.
2105 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2106 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2107 method.
2108 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2109 (not defined in HTTP specification)

2111 - Missing the job-restart template.
2112 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2113 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2114 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2115 not specified.
2116 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2117 from getting through.
2118 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2119 stderr.
2120 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2121 job name and display string, if supported.
2122 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2123 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2124 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2125 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2126 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2127 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2128 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2129 UTF-8...
2130 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2131 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2132 could cause cupsd to crash.
2133 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2134 crash.
2135 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2136 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2137 "HH:MM:SS".
2138 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2139 connection structure.
2140 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2141 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2142 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2143 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2144 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2145 is a potential security hole.
2146 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2147 new pstoraster.
2148 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2149 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2150 (/dev/usblp#)
2151 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2152 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2153 release.
2154
2155
2156CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2157
2158 - Documentation updates.
2159 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2160 now compile better under *BSD.)
2161 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2162 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2163 tray was selected.
2164 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2165 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2166 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2167 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2168 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2169 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2170 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2171 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2172 can handle.
2173 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2174 cause cupsd to crash.
2175 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2176 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2177 mime.types file.
2178 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2179 of file to be used as a banner.
2180 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2181 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2182 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2183 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2184 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2185 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2186 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2187 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2188 the IANA registrations.
2189 - New PostScript banner pages.
2190 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2191 filter.
2192 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2193 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2194 code.
2195 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2196 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2197 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2198 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2199 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2200 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2201 accurate width specification.
2202 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2203 files.
2204 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2205 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2206 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2207 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2208 that support it.
2209 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2210 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2211 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2212 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2213 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2214 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2215 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2216 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2217 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2218 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2219
2220
2221CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2222
2223 - Documentation updates.
2224 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2225 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2226 shell and Bash.
2227 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2228 code.
2229 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2230 manufacturer in the PPD.
2231 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2232 output attributes to be set.
2233 - Added banner page support.
2234 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2235 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2236 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2237 timezone offset.
2238 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2239 file is generated).
2240 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2241 printers when they became available.
2242 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2243 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2244 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2245 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2246 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2247 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2248 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2249 (override with -f)
2250 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2251 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2252 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2253 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2254 folks.
2255 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2256 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2257 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2258 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2259 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2260 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2261 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2262 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2263 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2264 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2265 languages (still only have templates for English)
2266 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2267 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2268 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2269 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2270 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2271 needed for some sites)
2272 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2273 templates.
2274 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2275 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2276 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2277 specific printer.
2278 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2279 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2280 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2281 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2282 authentication.
2283 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2284 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2285 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2286 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2287 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2288 filter.
2289 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2290 US-ASCII.
2291 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2292 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2293 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2294 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2295 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2296 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2297 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2298 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2299 basis without environment variables.
2300 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2301
2302
2303CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2304
2305 - Documentation updates.
2306 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2307 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2308 printer.
2309 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2310 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2311 distribution.
2312 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2313 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2314 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2315 to match the IPP spec.
2316 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2317 (previously they would be ignored)
2318 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2319 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2320 machines.
2321 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2322 and printer.
2323 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2324 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2325 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2326 BrowseRelay directives.
2327 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2328 still receives information on remote printers.
2329 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2330 networks)
2331 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2332 of PPD files.
2333 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2334 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2335 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2336 close their input files.

2357 was being used.
2358 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
