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

2040
2041CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2042

2044 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2045 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2046 shell and Bash.

2048 code.
2049 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2050 manufacturer in the PPD.
2051 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2052 output attributes to be set.
2053 - Added banner page support.
2054 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2055 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2056 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2057 timezone offset.

2059 file is generated).
2060 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2061 printers when they became available.
2062 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2063 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2064 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2065 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2066 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2067 /usr/share/cups/banners)

2069 (override with -f)
2070 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2071 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration

2073 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2074 folks.
2075 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2076 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2077 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2078 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2079 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2080 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2081 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2082 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2083 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2084 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2085 languages (still only have templates for English)
2086 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2087 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2088 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2089 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2090 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2091 needed for some sites)
2092 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2093 templates.
2094 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2095 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2096 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2097 specific printer.

2113 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2114 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2115 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2116 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2117 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2118 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2119 basis without environment variables.
2120 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2121
2122
2123CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2124
2125 - Documentation updates.
2126 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2127 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2128 printer.
2129 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2130 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2131 distribution.
2132 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2133 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2134 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language

2148 still receives information on remote printers.
2149 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2150 networks)
2151 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2152 of PPD files.
2153 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
