11
bcd9e019 12 - The scheduler used a select() timeout of INT_MAX

14 work on IRIX (STR #864)
032c48e9 15 - Updated the cupsaddsmb program to use the new Windows
16 2000 PostScript drivers instead of the Windows NT

92 broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
93 machines (STR #754)
41d6188e 94 - The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION

fa84bfc7 442 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
443 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
444 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
445 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 446 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
447 #289)
4731c02f 448 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 449 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
450 10.3 (STR #270)
451 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
aa7b8dba 452 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
453 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
454 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
455 very difficult (STR #277)
456 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
457 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
458 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 459 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
460 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
461 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
225b3683 462 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
463 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
464 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
465 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
466 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
467 language localization for a request; this caused extra
468 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
469 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
470 one language specified (STR #267)
471
472
3fc87a99 473CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
474
a782f61f 475 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
476 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
477 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 478 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
479 is 64 bits (STR #262)
0cd4970e 480 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
481 Hat (STR #253)
482 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
483 the standard constants when reporting printer status
484 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 485 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
486 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
487 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 488 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
489 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
490 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
491 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
492 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
493 URI (STR #247)
494 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
495 (STR #249)
496 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
497 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 498 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
499 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 500 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
501 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 502 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
503 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 504 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
505 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
506 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 507 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
508 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 509 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
510 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
511 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 512 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
513 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 514 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
515 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
516 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 517 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
518 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
519 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
520 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 521 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
522 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
523 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
524 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
525 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 526 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
527 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 528 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
529 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
530 (STR #209)
0c676a75 531 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
532 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 533 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
534 the user already had specified the proper orientation
535 (STR #207)
e5734f04 536 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 537 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
538 #193)
0372885f 539 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
540 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
541 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 542 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
543 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
544 programs rather than the port that the browser
545 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 546 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
547 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
548 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
549 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
550 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
551 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
552 files define the job-priority and
553 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 554 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
555 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 556 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
557 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
558 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
559 caused problems with some implementations of the
560 standard C library. (STR #159)
561 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
562 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 563 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
564 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 565 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
566 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
567 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
568 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 569 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
570 strings if the description string is not available
571 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 572 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
573 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
574 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
575 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
576 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 577 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
578 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
579 #147)
20bde6fb 580 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
581 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
582 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 583 - Printers with special characters in their names were
584 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 585 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
586 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
587 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
588 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
589 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 590 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
591 files did not get installed (STR #148)
592 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
593 without shared libraries (STR #149)
594 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
595 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 596 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
597 capability bit (STR #144)
598 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
599 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 600 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
601 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
602 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 603 #139)
604 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
605 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 606 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
607 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 608 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
609 command after the PJL language escape to work around
610 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
611 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
612 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 613 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 614 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 615
616
8dc4af74 617CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
618
a17e6548 619 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
620 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
621 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 622 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
623 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
624 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
625 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 626 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
627 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 628 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
629 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
630 #117)
631 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 632 - The configure script didn't specify the static
633 libraries properly when configuring with the
634 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 635 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
636 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
637 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 638 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
639 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 640 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
641
642
af57319f 643CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 644
1ed20df6 645 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
646 classes would get double banner pages for each
647 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 648 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
649 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 650 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
651 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
652 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 653 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
654 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
655 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
656 #70)
92498b68 657 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
658 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 659 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 660 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
661 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
662 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 663 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
664 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
665 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
666 annoying error message (STR #45)
667
668
2e6bce36 669CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 670
fb766c9e 671 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
672 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
673 #59)
d8b9e5fa 674 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
675 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 676 - The German web interface templates did not use the
677 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 678 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
679 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 680 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
681 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
682 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
683
684
e309e07a 685CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
686
b07e0cc2 687 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
688 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
689 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
690 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
691 user - STR #48)
b01791df 692 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
693 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 694 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
695 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 696 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
697 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
698 was handled (STR #47)
699 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
700 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
701 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 702 - The scheduler did not put the
703 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
704 attributes group.
705 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
706 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 707 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 708 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
709 and #39)
254aa207 710 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
711 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
712 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
713 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
714 requirements (STR #33)
715 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
716 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
717 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
718 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 719 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
720 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
721 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
722 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 723 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
724 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
725 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 726 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 727 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 728 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
729 Jacke)
730 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
731 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 732
733
b696f4e3 734CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
735
ac098b06 736 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
737 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
738 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
739 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
740 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 741 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
742 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 743 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 744 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
745 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
746 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 747 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
748 not work.
c8a55d2c 749 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
750 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
751 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
752 was not added to the collection value.
753 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
754 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 755 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
756 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
757 directives.
758 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
759 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
760 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 761 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
762 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 763 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
764 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
765 #13)
b696f4e3 766 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
767 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
768 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 769 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 770 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
771 message files such as those used for the job history
772 in /var/spool/cups.
773
774
fc7f6f69 775CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 776
265fb4a4 777 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
778 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 779 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
780 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
781 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
782 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
783 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
784 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 785 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 786 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
787 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 788 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
789 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
790 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 791 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
792 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 793 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
794 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
795 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
796 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 797 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
798 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
799 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
800 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
801 your locale.
5073e3f8 802 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
803 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
804 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 805 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
806 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 807 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
808 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
809 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
810 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
811 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 812 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
813 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 814 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
815 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
816 respectively) and has some additional changes to
817 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
818 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 819 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 820 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
821 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 822 - Added support for STATE: messages
823 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
824 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 825 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
826 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
827 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
828 root.
4d4fb342 829 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
830 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 831 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 832 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
833 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
834 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
835 information.
d40085f1 836 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
837 field.
dd9e85de 838 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
839 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
840 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
841 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
842 attribute to control whether job history data is
843 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
844 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
845 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 846 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
847 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 848 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
849 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
850 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 851 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
852 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
853 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
854 Kubla]
3f2fa036 855 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
856 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
857 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
858 sent. It now only references attributes that change
859 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
860 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
861 2k.
862 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
863 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
864 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 865 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
866 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 867 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
868 printer was available.
869 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
870 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
871 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 872 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
873 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 874 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
875 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
876 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 877 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
878 the image on the page when printing in landscape
879 orientation.
b3291c5a 880 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
881 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
882 and ManualFeed commands.
883 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
884 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 885 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
886 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
887 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
888 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
889 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 890 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
891 list of available devices, when it should have been
892 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 893 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
894 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 895 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
896 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 897 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
898 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
899 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
900 up...
2e32fcdb 901 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
902 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
903 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
904 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 905 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
906 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
907 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
908 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 909 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
910 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 911 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
912 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
913 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 914 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
915 variable under MacOS X.
916 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
917 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 918 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
919 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 920 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
921 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
922 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 923 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
924 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 925 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
926 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
927 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 928 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 929 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
930 sequence.
49d1718a 931 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
932 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 933 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 934 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
935 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 936 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
937 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 938 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
939 Apple.
8bd0441f 940 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
941 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 942 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
943 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
944 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
945 option.
946 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
947 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 948 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
949 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
950 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 951 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
952 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
953 via IPP.
edd85093 954 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
955 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 956 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
957 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 958 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
959 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
960 means that printers that don't report their serial
961 numbers in the device ID string will not be
962 individually selectable.
d0598693 963 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
964 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 965 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 966 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
967 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
968 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
969 the same.
970 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
971 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
972 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 973 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
974 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 975 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
976 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 977 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
978 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
979 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 980 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
981 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 982 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
983 an attribute definition.
de218675 984 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
985 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
986 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
987 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 988 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
989 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
990 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
991 situations. The warning message is now written no more
992 than once per minute.
67fa1315 993 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
994 PS RIPs.
320115a7 995 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
996 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
997 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 998 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
999 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
1000 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
1001 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
1002 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
1003 program or man page files.
1004
1005
759f5023 1006CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
1007
e38a7cef 1008 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
1009 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
1010 write a job control file.
f63a430f 1011 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
1012 directive to control whether new printers can be added
1013 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
1014 default is to not allow printers with these device
1015 URIs.
767ae392 1016 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
1017 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
1018 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 1019 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
1020 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
1021 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
1022 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 1023 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
1024 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 1025 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
1026 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
1027 attacks.
901b295d 1028 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
1029 interface.
1030 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
1031 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
1032 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 1033 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
1034 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
1035 the scheduler did not close the connections
1036 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 1037 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
1038 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 1039 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
1040 back to its original at the end of a job; this
1041 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
1042 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 1043 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
1044 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 1045 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
1046 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
1047 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
1048 PPD files.
dcc2e394 1049 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
1050 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
1051 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 1052 - The web interface did not always report the correct
1053 error message.
759f5023 1054 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
1055 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
1056 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
1057 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
1058 process from returning.
1059
1060
3cc7bca4 1061CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
1062
5c826e17 1063 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
1064 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 1065 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 1066 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
1067 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 1068 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
1069 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
1070 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
1071 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
1072 ticket data.
1073 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
1074 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
1075 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 1076 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
1077 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
1078 group membership still requires the account name to be
1079 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 1080 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
1081 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
1082 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
1083 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 1084 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
1085 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 1086 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
1087 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
1088 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
1089 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
1090 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 1091 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
1092 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 1093 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1094 caused by servers sending the status line and
1095 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 1096 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1097 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1098 empty.
78143282 1099 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1100 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 1101 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1102 Windows.
f33d1239 1103 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1104 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 1105 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1106 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1107 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 1108 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1109 (interrupted system call) errors.
1110 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1111 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1112 caused by the child signal handler.
1113 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1114 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1115 error.
e1e31a38 1116 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1117 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 1118 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1119 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 1120 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1121 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1122 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 1123 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1124 properly localized time string.
549d1888 1125 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1126 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1127 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 1128 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1129 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 1130 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1131 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1132 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1133 scheduler.
1134 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1135 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1136 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1137 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1138 queues.
854d3bb2 1139 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1140 filename.
137d4d44 1141 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1142 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1143 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1144 automatic form feed.
1145 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 1146 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1147 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 1148 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1149 MacOS X.
1150 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1151 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1152 has been removed.
1153
1154
06415a96 1155CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1156
727e6d14 1157 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1158 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1159 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1160 printer.
1161 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1162 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 1163 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1164 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1165 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 1166 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1167 you can display completed jobs as well as
1168 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 1169 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1170 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1171 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 1172 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1173 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1174 occurs.
db628f45 1175 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1176 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 1177 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1178 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1179 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1180 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1181 the page number.
da312e94 1182 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1183 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 1184 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 1185 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1186 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1187 banner pages.
25037b2b 1188 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1189 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1190 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 1191 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 1192 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1193 reliably.
a9219725 1194 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1195 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1196 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1197 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 1198 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1199 connection when sending an error that requires the
1200 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1201 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1202 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 1203 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1204 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1205 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1206 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 1207 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1208 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1209 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1210 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 1211 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1212 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 1213 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1214 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 1215 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1216 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 1217 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1218 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 1219 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1220 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1221 defines a circular filter rule.
1222 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1223 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 1224 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1225 files.
5ca43bfd 1226 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1227 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 1228 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1229 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1230 compatibility).
879062a9 1231 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 1232 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1233 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1234 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 1235 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1236 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 1237 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1238 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1239 shutdown.
098f80c5 1240 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1241 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1242 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 1243 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1244 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1245 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1246 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 1247 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1248 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1249 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 1250 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1251 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 1252 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1253 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1254 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1255 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 1256 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1257 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1258 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 1259 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1260 connect to the remote server name in a
1261 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1262 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1263 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1264 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 1265 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1266 the program would try to print the option letter that
1267 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1268 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 1269 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1270 attributes from printer options in
1271 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 1272 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1273 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 1274 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 1275 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1276 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 1277 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1278 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1279 characters.
1280 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1281 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1282 the language mode.
1283 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1284 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1285 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1286 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1287 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 1288 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 1289 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1290 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 1291 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1292 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 1293 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1294 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1295 driver.
997cf8b0 1296 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1297 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1298 that printer is available.
1299 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1300 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1301 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1302 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1303 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1304 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 1305 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1306 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1307 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1308 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 1309 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1310 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1311 to accept connections.
1312 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1313 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1314 and current directory.
1315 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1316 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1317 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1318 for existing jobs.
1319 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1320 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1321 actually provided.
1322 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 1323 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1324 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 1325 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1326 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 1327 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1328 case-insensitive.
1329 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1330 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 1331 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1332 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1333 Solaris.
b91c8a76 1334 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1335 printing banner pages.
4f759211 1336 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 1337 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1338 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 1339 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1340 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 1341 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1342 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1343 file.
8ce19460 1344 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1345 description from member printers.
fabb006b 1346 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1347 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 1348 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 1349 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1350 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 1351 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1352 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 1353 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1354 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1355 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 1356 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1357 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1358 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1359 up...
19e7b382 1360 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1361 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1362 authentication didn't work for administration
1363 operations.
103abc03 1364 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1365 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 1366 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1367 interface to "localhost".
1368 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1369 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1370 only return textual data.
1371
1372
7680b71d 1373CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1374
1375 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1376 string function header, which is required on systems
1377 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1378 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1379 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1380 have to.
1381
1382
74cfdb8b 1383CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1384
dab1a4d8 1385 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1386 license exception.
611e4623 1387 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1388 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1389 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1390 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1391 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1392 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1393 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1394 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1395 options.
1396 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1397 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1398 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1399 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1400 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1401 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1402 queues) on the server.
1403 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1404 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1405 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1406 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1407 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1408 set definitions.
a319615f 1409 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1410 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1411 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1412 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1413 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1414 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1415 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1416 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1417 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1418 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1419 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1420 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1421 comes from...
6df23e27 1422 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1423 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1424 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1425 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1426 using the default printer.
1427 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1428 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1429 to allow for longer printer names.
1430 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1431 history data.
1432 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1433 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1434 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1435 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1436 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1437 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1438 caused problems on some installations that would
1439 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1440 level 3.
1441 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1442 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1443 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1444 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1445 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1446 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1447 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1448 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1449 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1450 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1451 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1452 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1453 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1454 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1455 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1456 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1457 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1458 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1459 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1460 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1461 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1462 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1463 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1464 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1465 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1466 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1467 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1468 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1469 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1470 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1471 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1472 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1473 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1474 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1475 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1476 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1477 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1478 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1479 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1480 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1481 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1482 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1483 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1484 classes.
7200e26c 1485 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1486 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1487 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1488 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1489 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1490 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1491 control and browsing based on the current interface
1492 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1493 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1494 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1495 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1496 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1497 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1498 group.
f4647930 1499 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1500 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1501 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1502 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1503 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1504 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1505 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1506 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1507 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1508 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1509 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1510 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1511 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1512 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1513 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1514 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1515 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1516 generated dependencies.
1517 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1518 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1519 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1520 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1521 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1522 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1523 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1524 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1525 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1526 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1527 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1528 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1529 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1530 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1531 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1532 printers and classes all at once.
1533 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1534 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1535 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1536 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1537 value.
1c9c423b 1538 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1539 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1540 other options as strings.
f918a565 1541 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1542 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1543 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1544 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1545 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1546 option.
74cfdb8b 1547 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1548 integers and ranges.
1549 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1550 language support for CUPS.
1551
1552
ee8b7dd3 1553CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1554
843779ef 1555 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1556 attribute name length or string with language value
1557 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1558 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1559 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1560 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1561 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1562 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1563 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1564 - MacOS X fixes.
1565 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1566 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1567 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1568 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1569 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1570 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1571 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1572 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1573 require it.
1574
1575
d2503e02 1576CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1577
28a96fe2 1578 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1579 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1580 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1581 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1582 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1583 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1584 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1585 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1586 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1587 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1588 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1589 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1590 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1591 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1592 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1593 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1594 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1595 goes away.
7c587866 1596 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1597 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1598 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1599 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1600 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1601 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1602 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1603 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1604 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1605 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1606 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1607 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1608 connections to improve performance/response time.
1609 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1610 from Andrea Suatoni.
1611 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1612 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1613 tools support.
1614 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1615 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1616 existed.
1617 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1618 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1619 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1620 page-set option.
873a6f43 1621 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1622 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1623 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1624 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1625 etc.)
bd73c81f 1626 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1627 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1628 listing for a printer.
1629 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1630 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1631 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1632 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1633 values.
dd5f3453 1634 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1635 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1636 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1637 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1638 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1639 files.
1640 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1641 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1642 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1643 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1644 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1645 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1646 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1647 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1648 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1649 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1650 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1651 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1652 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1653 classification level, if set. This way the original
1654 banner settings are preserved when classification
1655 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1656 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1657 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1658 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1659 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1660 system default group was not used.
1661 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1662 send multiple control files.
1663 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1664 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1665 for the "https" scheme.
1666 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1667 from the web interface for accounts other than
1668 "root".
1669 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1670 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1671 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1672 address properly.
1673 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1674 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1675 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1676 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1677 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1678 information under Linux.
1679 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1680 option (if present) in PPD files.
1681 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1682 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1683 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1684 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1685 the lppasswd command.
1686 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1687 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1688 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1689 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1690 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1691 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1692 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1693 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1694 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1695 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1696 restarting cupsd.
1697 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1698 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1699 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1700 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1701 for commands on the standard input.
1702 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1703 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1704 pointer platforms...
1705
1706
1707CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1708
1709 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1710 files.
1711 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1712 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1713 destination type for the new destination.
1714 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1715 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1716 printer ACLs.
1717 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1718 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1719 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1720 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1721 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1722
1723
1724CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1725
1726 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1727 files.
1728 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1729 files.
1730 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1731 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1732 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1733 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1734 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1735 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1736 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1737 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1738 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1739 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1740 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1741 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1742 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1743 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1744 options exceeded 100...]
1745 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1746 was set to "No".
1747 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1748 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1749 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1750 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1751 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1752 faster.
1753 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1754 support properly support the "-h" or default
1755 server name.
1756 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1757 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1758 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1759 support printer instances.
1760 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1761 underline formatting.
1762 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1763 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1764 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1765 (-1).
1766 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1767 from printing to printers in that class.
1768 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1769 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1770 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1771 slower systems since more information had to be
1772 transferred from server to client.
1773 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1774 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1775 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1776 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1777 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1778 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1779 processing.
1780 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1781 to stderr instead of stdout...
1782 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1783 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1784 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1785 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1786 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1787 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1788 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1789 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1790 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1791 the Spanish banner files.
1792 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1793 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1794 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1795 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1796 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1797 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1798 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1799 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1800 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1801 information when printing via LPD.
1802 - Added many warning and informational messages
1803 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1804 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1805 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1806 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1807 provided.
1808 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1809 cupsd.conf.
1810 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1811 32k.
1812 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1813 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1814 possible.
1815 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1816 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1817 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1818 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1819 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1820 long values.
1821 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1822 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1823 to CGIs.
1824 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1825 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1826 time.
1827 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1828 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1829 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1830 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1831 result in a blank page being output...
1832 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1833 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1834 page comments when printing files directly...)
1835 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1836 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1837 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1838 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1839 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1840 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1841 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1842 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1843 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1844 original destination.
1845 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1846 requested-attributes attribute in the
1847 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1848 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1849 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1850 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1851 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1852 prints.
1853
1854
1855CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1856
1857 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1858 makefiles to install files properly.
1859
1860
1861CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1862
1863 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1864 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1865 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1866 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1867 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1868 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1869 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1870 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1871 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1872 server.
1873 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1874 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1875 with some types of flow control.
1876 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1877 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1878 server.
1879 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1880 lines in the configuration files.
1881 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1882 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1883 from the server.
1884 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1885 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1886 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1887 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1888 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1889 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1890 script. Previously the job's document format was
1891 used, which was incorrect.
1892 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1893 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1894 "raw" model from the command-line.
1895 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1896 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1897 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1898 printers.
1899 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1900 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1901 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1902 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1903 which caused some confusion... :)
1904 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1905 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1906
1907
1908CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1909
1910 - The configure script did not substitute the
1911 correct user and group names.
1912 - The configure script did not use the full path
1913 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1914 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1915 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1916 duplexing.
1917 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1918 distribution.
1919 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1920 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1921 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1922 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1923 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1924 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1925 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1926 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1927 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1928 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1929 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1930 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1931
1932
1933CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1934
1935 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1936 approach for the various tests.
1937 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1938 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1939 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1940 options to specify the default user and group for
1941 CUPS.
1942 - Added AIX shared library support.
1943 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1944 parallel ports.
1945 - Now use install program or script to install
1946 directories, files, and symlinks.
1947 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1948 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1949 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1950 print.
1951 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1952 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1953 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1954 64-bit boundary.
1955 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1956 skip the Digest keyword.
1957 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1958 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1959 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1960 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1961 authentication from passwd.md5.
1962 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1963 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1964 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1965 PPD files should start much faster now.
1966 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1967 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1968 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1969 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1970 times.
1971 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1972 code if an error occurred.
1973 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1974 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1975 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1976 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1977 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1978 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1979 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1980 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1981 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1982 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1983 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1984 copies would come out instead of N.
1985 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1986 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1987 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1988 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1989 output an even number of pages.
1990 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1991 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1992 from being cancelled early.
1993 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1994 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1995 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1996 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1997 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1998 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1999 "ESC i" graphics command.
2000 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
2001 printers to a local class.
2002 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
2003 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
2004 - The scheduler did not load or save the
2005 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
2006 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
2007 printers that were part of a class.
2008 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
2009 printer more than once.
2010 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
2011 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
2012 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
2013 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
2014 account.
2015 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
2016 against a location of "/printers/name".
2017 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
2018 upgrades properly.
2019 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
2020 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
2021 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
2022 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
2023 when using Digest authentication.
2024 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
2025 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
2026 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
2027 file.
2028 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
2029 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
2030 server.
2031 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
2032 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
2033 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
2034 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
2035 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
2036 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
2037 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
2038 not the empty string.
2039 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
2040 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
2041 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
2042 unsupported attributes which should normally be
2043 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
2044 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
2045 supported file types into the
2046 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
2047 clients to not send the local file type (such as
2048 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
2049 corresponding bad output in some cases.
2050 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
2051 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
2052 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
2053 or behave irratically.
2054 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
2055 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
2056 specified.
2057 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
2058 completed or reported as "pending-held".
2059 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
2060 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
2061 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
2062 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
2063 retrieve and update the server configuration files
2064 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
2065 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
2066 location or description of the printer.
2067 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
2068 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
2069 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
2070 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
2071 multiple groups.
2072 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
2073 Apache.
2074 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
2075 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
2076 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
2077 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
2078 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
2079 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
2080 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
2081 the page-ranges option from working properly.
2082 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
2083 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
2084 Ghostscript code.
2085 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
2086 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
2087 size instead of percent of page size.)
2088 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
2089 instead of root.
2090 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
2091 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
2092 size options.
2093 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2094 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2095 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2096 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2097 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2098 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2099 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2100 character.
2101
2102
2103CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2104
2105 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2106 package for pstoraster.
2107 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2108 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2109 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2110 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2111 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2112 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2113 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2114 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2115 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2116 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2117 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2118 history disabled.
2119 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2120 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2121 connections initially.
2122 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2123 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2124 throughout.
2125 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2126 Richard Begg.)
2127 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2128 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2129 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2130 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2131 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2132 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2133 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2134 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2135 #54489...
2136 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2137 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2138 (only affects page-label and Classification
2139 options.)
2140 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2141 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2142
2143
2144CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2145
2146 - Configuration script changes, including new
2147 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2148 documentation and web content according to your
2149 favorite version of the FHS.
2150 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2151 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2152 test CUPS prior to installation.
2153 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2154 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 2155 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2156 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 2157 directives.
2158 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2159 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2160 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2161 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2162 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2163 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2164 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2165 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2166 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2167 formats are supported at present.)
2168 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2169 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2170 all browsing off.
2171 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2172 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2173 document.
2174 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2175 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2176 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2177 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2178 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2179 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2180 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2181 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2182 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2183 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2184 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2185 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2186 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2187 server.
2188 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2189 PJL commands from PPD files.
2190 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2191 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2192 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2193 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2194 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2195 the next/current job in the queue.
2196 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2197 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2198 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2199 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2200 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2201 for Sun Raster images.
2202 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2203 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2204 function.
2205 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2206 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2207 command when printing to USB devices.
2208 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2209 the cupsd.conf file.
2210 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2211 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2212 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2213 /dev/urandom.
2214 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2215 httpGetSubField().
2216 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2217 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2218 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2219 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2220 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2221 CGI was currently running.
2222 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2223 option=true or option=false.
2224 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2225 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2226 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2227 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2228 could cause it to crash.
2229 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2230 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2231 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2232 attribute when altering a job.
2233 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2234 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2235 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2236 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2237 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2238 addresses.
2239 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2240 the current classification on each page.
2241 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2242 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2243 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2244 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2245 encryption.
2246 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2247 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2248 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2249 support instances.
2250 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2251 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2252 and should never be used in a production environment.
2253 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2254 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2255 interface.
2256 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2257 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2258 prevent caching of the results.
2259 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2260 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2261 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2262 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2263 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2264 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2265 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2266 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2267 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2268 submitted by a user.
2269 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2270 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2271 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2272 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2273 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2274 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2275 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2276 embedded spaces.
2277 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2278 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2279 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2280 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2281 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2282 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2283 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2284 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2285 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2286 by the GIMP.
2287 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2288 bypassed the authentication checks.
2289 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2290 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2291 a race condition between the client and server for the
2292 upgrade to TLS.
2293 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2294 the pstops filter.
2295 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2296 the custom page size in the raster header.
2297 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2298 size to the size of the printed image.
2299 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2300 which are required by some printers.
2301 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2302 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2303 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2304 DSC).
2305 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2306 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2307 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2308 driver.
2309 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2310 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2311 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2312 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2313 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2314 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2315 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2316 address this problem.
2317 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2318 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2319 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2320 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2321 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2322 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2323 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2324 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2325 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2326 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2327 to manage print jobs.
2328 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2329 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2330 of 0 length.
2331 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2332 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2333 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2334
2335
2336CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2337
2338 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2339 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2340 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2341 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2342 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2343 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2344 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2345 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2346 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2347 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2348 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2349 /dev/ulptN.
2350 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2351 classes it was a member of.
2352 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2353 implicit status of a class.
2354 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2355 from implicit classes.
2356 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2357 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2358 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2359 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2360 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2361 of the scheduler.
2362 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2363 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2364 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2365 the /#copies variable anymore.
2366 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2367 option.
2368 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2369 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2370 for a bad-request error)
2371 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2372 unimplemented, not invalid.
2373 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2374 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2375 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2376 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2377 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2378 (pstoraster).
2379 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2380 which are not used.
2381 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2382 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2383 cgi_initialize_string().
2384 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2385 ippSetCGIVars()
2386 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2387 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2388 leaks.
2389 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2390 fails.
2391 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2392 setuid() calls.
2393 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2394 calls.
2395 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2396 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2397 bad input.
2398 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2399 missing hex digits.
2400
2401
2402CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2403
2404 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2405 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2406 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2407 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2408 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2409 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2410 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2411 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2412 corruption on many printers)
2413 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2414 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2415 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2416 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2417 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2418 requests.
2419 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2420 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2421 was lost.
2422 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2423 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2424 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2425 to be used for a socket.
2426 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2427 a set were numeric or string types.
2428 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2429 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2430 reading *.conf files.
2431 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2432 same logic as GET requests.
2433 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2434 /index.html to requested directory name.
2435 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2436 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2437 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2438 instead of mode 0600.
2439 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2440 instead of 0600.
2441 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2442 system name in log filenames.
2443 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2444 and hex strings.
2445
2446
2447CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2448
2449 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2450 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2451 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2452
2453
2454CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2455
2456 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2457 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2458 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2459 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2460 filter programs properly.
2461 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2462 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2463 versions of GCC.
2464 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2465 cancelled in StartJob().
2466 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2467 written with restricted permissions.
2468 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2469 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2470 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2471 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2472 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2473 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2474 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2475 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2476 syslog file.
2477 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2478 and only specifies the document format if it is
2479 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2480 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2481 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2482 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2483 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2484 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2485 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2486 cancelled.
2487 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2488 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2489 sporatic web interface problems.
2490 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2491 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2492 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2493 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2494 whitespace.
2495 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2496 instead of an integer.
2497 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2498 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2499 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2500 and user-level access control.
2501 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2502 encryption.
2503 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2504 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2505 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2506 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2507 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2508 to the man page.
2509 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2510 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2511 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2512 queued for a printer.
2513 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2514 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2515 reporting.
2516
2517
2518CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2519
2520 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2521 code.
2522 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2523 check in backend/serial.c.
2524 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2525 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2526 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2527 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2528 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2529 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2530 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2531 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2532 anyways)
2533
2534
2535CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2536
2537 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2538 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2539 for run level 5.
2540 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2541 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2542 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2543 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2544 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2545 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2546 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2547
2548
2549CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2550
2551 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2552 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2553 access from the local system.
2554 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2555 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2556 - Documentation updates.
2557 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2558 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2559 RedHat or Mandrake.
2560 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2561 warnings.
2562 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2563 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2564 hex)
2565 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2566 crash the server.
2567 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2568 correct value length for name-with-language and
2569 text-with-language attributes.
2570 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2571 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2572 efficient IPP server performance.
2573 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2574 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2575 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2576 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2577 attack.
2578 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2579 data required when getting the list of printer or
2580 class information. This should improve performance
2581 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2582 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2583 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2584 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2585 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2586 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2587 override the lpoptions default printer.
2588 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2589 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2590 attributes.
2591 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2592 did not check for the correct value for collated
2593 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2594 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2595 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2596 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2597 scale mode 2.
2598 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2599 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2600 that started with a number.
2601 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2602 multiple times in name-with-language and
2603 text-with-language attributes.
2604 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2605 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2606 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2607 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2608 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2609 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2610 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2611 close the spool directory.
2612 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2613 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2614 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2615 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2616 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2617 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2618 larger than the source string; this protects
2619 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2620 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2621 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2622 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2623 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2624 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2625 remote printers.
2626 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2627 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2628 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2629 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2630 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2631 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2632 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2633 3-argument contains() function.
2634 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2635 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2636 database containing 0 printers.
2637 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2638 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2639 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2640 printer was always busy.
2641 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2642 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2643 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2644 jobs.
2645 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2646 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2647 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2648 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2649 57600 and 115200 baud.
2650 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2651 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2652 option in the device URI.
2653 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2654 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2655 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2656 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2657 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2658 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2659 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2660 job attributes to be changed.
2661 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2662 web interface.
2663 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2664 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2665 since they do not map)
2666 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2667 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2668 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2669 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2670 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2671 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2672 child signals while loading devices.
2673 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2674 and classes.
2675 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2676 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2677 driver dithering code.
2678 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2679 after the first active printer.
2680 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2681 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2682 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2683 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2684 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2685 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2686 accepted null values.
2687 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2688 of the backends.
2689 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2690 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2691 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2692 is set in the plot file.
2693 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2694 user name, causing it to always fail.
2695 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2696 under Windows.
2697 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2698 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2699 didn't handle control file job information in any
2700 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2701 a file.
2702 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2703 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2704 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2705 printing on some systems.
2706 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2707 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2708 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2709 it.
2710
2711
2712CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2713
2714 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2715 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2716 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2717 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2718 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2719 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2720 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2721 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2722 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2723 order, which prevented remote printing.
2724 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2725 IPP requests and language information when closing
2726 a client connection.
2727 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2728 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2729 compatibles)
2730 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2731 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2732 on many OS's.
2733 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2734 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2735 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2736 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2737 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2738 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2739 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2740 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2741 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2742 PPD files.
2743 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2744 when the destination printer supported it. This
2745 caused problems when printing text files to other
2746 CUPS servers.
2747 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2748 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2749 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2750 the dates.)
2751 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2752 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2753 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2754 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2755 be clipped.
2756
2757
2758CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2759
2760 - Makefile fixes.
2761 - RPM spec file changes.
2762 - Documentation updates.
2763 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2764 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2765 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2766 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2767 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2768 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2769 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2770 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2771 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2772 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2773 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2774 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2775 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2776 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2777 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2778 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2779 specified.
2780 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2781 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2782 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2783 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2784 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2785 cupsd.conf.
2786 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2787 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2788 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2789 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2790 filter mode 'l'.
2791 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2792 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2793 defaults for all print queues.
2794 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2795 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2796 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2797 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2798 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2799 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2800 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2801 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2802 printer was defined with the same name.
2803 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2804 remove options for a printer or instance.
2805 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2806 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2807 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2808 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2809 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2810 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2811 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2812 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2813 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2814 job-printer-uri attribute.
2815 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2816 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2817 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2818 remote printers.
2819 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2820 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2821 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2822 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2823 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2824 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2825 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2826 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2827 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2828 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2829 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2830 printer set using lpoptions.
2831 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2832 list the printer-specific options and their current
2833 settings.
2834 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2835 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2836 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2837 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2838 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2839 text printing.
2840 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2841 instances.
2842 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2843 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2844 limit.
2845 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2846 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2847 new client connections.
2848 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2849 required pagedevice parameters.
2850 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2851 under Linux.
2852 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2853 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2854 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2855 would stop processing.
2856 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2857 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2858 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2859 that was currently printing a job.
2860 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2861 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2862 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2863 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2864 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2865 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2866 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2867 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2868 option values separated by commas.
2869 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2870 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2871 and free bytes once a minute)
2872 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2873 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2874 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2875 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2876 printers.
2877 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2878 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2879 requests from that address to the server name.
2880 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2881 server.domain.com to localhost.
2882 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2883 the previous device and driver settings (except
2884 for serial ports.)
2885 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2886 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2887 after a job is completed when job file history is
2888 turned off.
2889 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2890 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2891 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2892 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2893 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2894 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2895 for "lpstat -v" output.
2896 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2897 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2898 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2899 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2900 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2901 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2902 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2903 by itself without quoting.
2904
2905
2906CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2907
2908 - Makefile/configure fixes
2909 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2910 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2911 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2912 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2913 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2914 number generator for certificates.
2915 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2916 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2917 the filter user, typically "lp".
2918 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2919 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2920 user.
2921 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2922 function.
2923 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2924 standard input.
2925 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2926 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2927 page header as needed.
2928 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2929 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2930 immediately when last-document was true.
2931 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2932 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2933 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2934 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2935 and many PS printers.
2936 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2937 filters.
2938 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2939 debugging problems.
2940 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2941 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2942 calling problem...)
2943 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2944 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2945 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2946 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2947 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2948 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2949 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2950 by default.
2951 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2952 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2953 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2954 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2955 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2956 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2957 CUPS software.
2958
2959
2960CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2961
2962 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2963 old PDF filter files.
2964 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2965 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2966 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2967 network devices.
2968 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2969 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2970 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2971 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2972 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2973 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2974 is defined otherwise.
2975 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2976 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2977 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2978 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2979 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2980 0-length PPD file was read.
2981 - The image filters were not handling images with
2982 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2983 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2984 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2985 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2986 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2987 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2988 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2989 documents if they don't have it.
2990 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2991 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2992 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2993 --prefix was specified.
2994 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2995 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2996 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2997 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2998 color mode until it can be fixed.
2999 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
3000 correctly in all cases.
3001 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
3002 time in banner files.
3003
3004
3005CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
3006
3007 - Documentation updates.
3008 - Configuration script updates.
3009 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
3010 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
3011 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
3012 ppd_file_t structure.
3013 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
3014 before it was used.
3015 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3016 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3017 the localhost address.
3018 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3019 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3020 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3021 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3022 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3023 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3024 PDF support.
3025 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3026 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3027 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3028 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3029 pstoraster.
3030 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3031 the user.
3032 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3033 not running.
3034 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3035 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3036 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3037 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3038 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3039 setpagedevice operator.
3040 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3041 the default banner pages.
3042 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3043 "position" option.
3044 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3045 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3046 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3047 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3048 "printer@server") when possible.
3049 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3050 with no PageSize attributes.
3051 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3052 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3053 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3054 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3055 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3056 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3057 cupsd.
3058 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3059 locations.
3060 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3061 variables to specify installation directories as
3062 needed.
3063 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3064 when the scheduler is started.
3065 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3066 printer.
3067 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3068 printer are automatically deleted.
3069 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3070 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3071 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3072 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3073 request.
3074 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3075 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3076 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3077 is "no-hold".
3078 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3079 responses.
3080 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3081 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3082 printer.
3083 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3084 request fails.
3085 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3086 printer and class names.
3087 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3088 received in a POST request.
3089
3090
3091CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3092
3093 - Documentation updates.
3094 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3095 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3096 method.
3097 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3098 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3099 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3100 - Missing the job-restart template.
3101 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3102 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3103 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3104 not specified.
3105 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3106 from getting through.
3107 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3108 stderr.
3109 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3110 job name and display string, if supported.
3111 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3112 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3113 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3114 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3115 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3116 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3117 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3118 UTF-8...
3119 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3120 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3121 could cause cupsd to crash.
3122 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3123 crash.
3124 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3125 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3126 "HH:MM:SS".
3127 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3128 connection structure.
3129 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3130 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3131 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3132 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3133 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3134 is a potential security hole.
3135 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3136 new pstoraster.
3137 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3138 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3139 (/dev/usblp#)
3140 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3141 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3142 release.
3143
3144
3145CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3146
3147 - Documentation updates.
3148 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3149 now compile better under *BSD.)
3150 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3151 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3152 tray was selected.
3153 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3154 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3155 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3156 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3157 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3158 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3159 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3160 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3161 can handle.
3162 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3163 cause cupsd to crash.
3164 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3165 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3166 mime.types file.
3167 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3168 of file to be used as a banner.
3169 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3170 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3171 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3172 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3173 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3174 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3175 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3176 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3177 the IANA registrations.
3178 - New PostScript banner pages.
3179 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3180 filter.
3181 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3182 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3183 code.
3184 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3185 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3186 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3187 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3188 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3189 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3190 accurate width specification.
3191 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3192 files.
3193 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3194 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3195 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3196 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3197 that support it.
3198 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3199 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3200 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3201 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3202 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3203 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3204 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3205 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3206 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3207 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3208
3209
3210CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3211
3212 - Documentation updates.
3213 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3214 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3215 shell and Bash.
3216 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3217 code.
3218 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3219 manufacturer in the PPD.
3220 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3221 output attributes to be set.
3222 - Added banner page support.
3223 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3224 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3225 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3226 timezone offset.
3227 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3228 file is generated).
3229 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3230 printers when they became available.
3231 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3232 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3233 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3234 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3235 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3236 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3237 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3238 (override with -f)
3239 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3240 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3241 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3242 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3243 folks.
3244 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3245 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3246 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3247 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3248 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3249 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3250 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3251 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3252 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3253 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3254 languages (still only have templates for English)
3255 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3256 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3257 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3258 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3259 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3260 needed for some sites)
3261 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3262 templates.
3263 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3264 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3265 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3266 specific printer.
3267 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3268 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3269 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3270 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3271 authentication.
3272 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3273 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
