e309e07a 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
5
3d16d701 6 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
7 and #39)
254aa207 8 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
9 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
10 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
11 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
12 requirements (STR #33)
13 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
14 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
15 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
16 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 17 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
18 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
19 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
20 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 21 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
22 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
23 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 24 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 25 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 26 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
27 Jacke)
28 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
29 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 30
31
b696f4e3 32CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
33
ac098b06 34 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
35 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
36 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
37 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
38 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 39 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
40 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 41 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 42 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
43 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
44 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 45 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
46 not work.
c8a55d2c 47 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
48 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
49 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
50 was not added to the collection value.
51 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
52 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 53 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
54 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
55 directives.
56 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
57 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
58 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 59 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
60 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 61 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
62 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
63 #13)
b696f4e3 64 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
65 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
66 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 67 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 68 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
69 message files such as those used for the job history
70 in /var/spool/cups.
71
72
fc7f6f69 73CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 74
265fb4a4 75 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
76 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 77 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
78 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
79 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
80 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
81 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
82 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 83 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 84 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
85 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 86 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
87 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
88 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 89 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
90 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 91 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
92 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
93 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
94 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 95 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
96 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
97 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
98 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
99 your locale.
5073e3f8 100 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
101 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
102 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 103 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
104 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 105 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
106 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
107 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
108 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
109 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 110 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
111 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 112 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
113 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
114 respectively) and has some additional changes to
115 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
116 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 117 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 118 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
119 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 120 - Added support for STATE: messages
121 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
122 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 123 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
124 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
125 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
126 root.
4d4fb342 127 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
128 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 129 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 130 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
131 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
132 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
133 information.
d40085f1 134 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
135 field.
dd9e85de 136 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
137 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
138 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
139 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
140 attribute to control whether job history data is
141 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
142 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
143 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 144 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
145 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 146 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
147 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
148 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 149 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
150 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
151 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
152 Kubla]
3f2fa036 153 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
154 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
155 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
156 sent. It now only references attributes that change
157 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
158 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
159 2k.
160 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
161 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
162 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 163 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
164 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 165 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
166 printer was available.
167 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
168 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
169 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 170 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
171 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 172 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
173 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
174 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 175 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
176 the image on the page when printing in landscape
177 orientation.
b3291c5a 178 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
179 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
180 and ManualFeed commands.
181 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
182 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 183 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
184 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
185 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
186 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
187 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 188 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
189 list of available devices, when it should have been
190 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 191 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
192 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 193 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
194 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 195 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
196 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
197 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
198 up...
2e32fcdb 199 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
200 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
201 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
202 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 203 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
204 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
205 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
206 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 207 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
208 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 209 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
210 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
211 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 212 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
213 variable under MacOS X.
214 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
215 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 216 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
217 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 218 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
219 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
220 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 221 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
222 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 223 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
224 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
225 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 226 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 227 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
228 sequence.
49d1718a 229 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
230 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 231 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 232 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
233 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 234 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
235 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 236 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
237 Apple.
8bd0441f 238 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
239 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 240 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
241 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
242 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
243 option.
244 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
245 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 246 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
247 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
248 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 249 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
250 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
251 via IPP.
edd85093 252 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
253 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 254 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
255 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 256 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
257 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
258 means that printers that don't report their serial
259 numbers in the device ID string will not be
260 individually selectable.
d0598693 261 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
262 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 263 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 264 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
265 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
266 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
267 the same.
268 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
269 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
270 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 271 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
272 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 273 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
274 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 275 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
276 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
277 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 278 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
279 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 280 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
281 an attribute definition.
de218675 282 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
283 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
284 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
285 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 286 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
287 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
288 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
289 situations. The warning message is now written no more
290 than once per minute.
67fa1315 291 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
292 PS RIPs.
320115a7 293 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
294 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
295 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 296 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
297 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
298 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
299 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
300 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
301 program or man page files.
302
303
759f5023 304CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
305
e38a7cef 306 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
307 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
308 write a job control file.
f63a430f 309 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
310 directive to control whether new printers can be added
311 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
312 default is to not allow printers with these device
313 URIs.
767ae392 314 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
315 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
316 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 317 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
318 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
319 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
320 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 321 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
322 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 323 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
324 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
325 attacks.
901b295d 326 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
327 interface.
328 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
329 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
330 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 331 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
332 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
333 the scheduler did not close the connections
334 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 335 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
336 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 337 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
338 back to its original at the end of a job; this
339 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
340 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 341 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
342 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 343 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
344 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
345 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
346 PPD files.
dcc2e394 347 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
348 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
349 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 350 - The web interface did not always report the correct
351 error message.
759f5023 352 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
353 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
354 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
355 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
356 process from returning.
357
358
3cc7bca4 359CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
360
5c826e17 361 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
362 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 363 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 364 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
365 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 366 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
367 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
368 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
369 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
370 ticket data.
371 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
372 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
373 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 374 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
375 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
376 group membership still requires the account name to be
377 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 378 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
379 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
380 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
381 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 382 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
383 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 384 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
385 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
386 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
387 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
388 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 389 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
390 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 391 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
392 caused by servers sending the status line and
393 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 394 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
395 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
396 empty.
78143282 397 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
398 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 399 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
400 Windows.
f33d1239 401 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
402 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 403 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
404 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
405 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 406 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
407 (interrupted system call) errors.
408 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
409 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
410 caused by the child signal handler.
411 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
412 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
413 error.
e1e31a38 414 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
415 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 416 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
417 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 418 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
419 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
420 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 421 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
422 properly localized time string.
549d1888 423 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
424 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
425 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 426 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
427 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 428 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
429 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
430 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
431 scheduler.
432 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
433 scheduler so that the printer object information is
434 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
435 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
436 queues.
854d3bb2 437 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
438 filename.
137d4d44 439 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
440 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
441 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
442 automatic form feed.
443 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 444 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
445 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 446 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
447 MacOS X.
448 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
449 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
450 has been removed.
451
452
06415a96 453CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
454
727e6d14 455 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
456 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
457 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
458 printer.
459 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
460 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 461 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
462 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
463 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 464 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
465 you can display completed jobs as well as
466 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 467 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
468 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
469 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 470 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
471 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
472 occurs.
db628f45 473 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
474 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 475 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
476 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
477 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
478 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
479 the page number.
da312e94 480 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
481 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 482 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 483 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
484 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
485 banner pages.
25037b2b 486 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
487 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
488 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 489 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 490 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
491 reliably.
a9219725 492 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
493 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
494 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
495 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 496 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
497 connection when sending an error that requires the
498 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
499 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
500 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 501 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
502 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
503 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
504 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 505 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
506 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
507 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
508 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 509 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
510 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 511 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
512 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 513 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
514 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 515 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
516 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 517 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
518 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
519 defines a circular filter rule.
520 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
521 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 522 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
523 files.
5ca43bfd 524 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
525 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 526 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
527 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
528 compatibility).
879062a9 529 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 530 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
531 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
532 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 533 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
534 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 535 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
536 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
537 shutdown.
098f80c5 538 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
539 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
540 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 541 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
542 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
543 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
544 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 545 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
546 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
547 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 548 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
549 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 550 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
551 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
552 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
553 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 554 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
555 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
556 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 557 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
558 connect to the remote server name in a
559 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
560 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
561 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
562 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 563 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
564 the program would try to print the option letter that
565 caused the error using the wrong index into the
566 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 567 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
568 attributes from printer options in
569 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 570 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
571 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 572 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 573 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
574 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 575 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
576 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
577 characters.
578 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
579 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
580 the language mode.
581 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
582 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
583 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
584 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
585 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 586 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 587 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
588 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 589 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
590 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 591 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
592 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
593 driver.
997cf8b0 594 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
595 the next available printer rather than waiting until
596 that printer is available.
597 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
598 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
599 printer class instead of a normal printer.
600 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
601 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
602 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 603 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
604 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
605 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
606 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 607 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
608 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
609 to accept connections.
610 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
611 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
612 and current directory.
613 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
614 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
615 into the file type database would no longer be valid
616 for existing jobs.
617 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
618 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
619 actually provided.
620 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 621 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
622 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 623 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
624 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 625 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
626 case-insensitive.
627 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
628 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 629 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
630 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
631 Solaris.
b91c8a76 632 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
633 printing banner pages.
4f759211 634 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 635 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
636 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 637 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
638 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 639 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
640 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
641 file.
8ce19460 642 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
643 description from member printers.
fabb006b 644 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
645 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 646 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 647 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
648 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 649 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
650 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 651 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
652 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
653 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 654 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
655 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
656 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
657 up...
19e7b382 658 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
659 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
660 authentication didn't work for administration
661 operations.
103abc03 662 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
663 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 664 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
665 interface to "localhost".
666 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
667 response to queue state commands, but those commands
668 only return textual data.
669
670
7680b71d 671CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
672
673 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
674 string function header, which is required on systems
675 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
676 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
677 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
678 have to.
679
680
74cfdb8b 681CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
682
dab1a4d8 683 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
684 license exception.
611e4623 685 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
686 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 687 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
688 option if none is provided to automatically select the
689 correct tray.
ed6078a4 690 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
691 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
692 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
693 options.
694 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
695 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
696 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 697 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
698 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
699 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
700 queues) on the server.
701 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
702 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
703 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
704 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 705 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
706 set definitions.
a319615f 707 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
708 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 709 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
710 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 711 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 712 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 713 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
714 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 715 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
716 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 717 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
718 have a small comment header explaining where the file
719 comes from...
6df23e27 720 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 721 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 722 number-up-layout options.
415199da 723 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
724 using the default printer.
725 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
726 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
727 to allow for longer printer names.
728 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
729 history data.
730 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
731 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
732 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
733 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 734 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
735 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
736 caused problems on some installations that would
737 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
738 level 3.
739 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 740 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
741 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 742 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
743 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 744 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
745 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 746 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 747 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
748 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
749 (cupsd).
a4e23897 750 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
751 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
752 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
753 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 754 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
755 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
756 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
757 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
758 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
759 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
760 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
761 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
762 non-ISOLatin1 text.
763 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
764 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
765 of glyphs.
576b82ca 766 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
767 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
768 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
769 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 770 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
771 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
772 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
773 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
774 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 775 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
776 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 777 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
778 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 779 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
780 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 781 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
782 classes.
7200e26c 783 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
784 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
785 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 786 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
787 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
788 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
789 control and browsing based on the current interface
790 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 791 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
792 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 793 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
794 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
795 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
796 group.
f4647930 797 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
798 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 799 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
800 detects that the printer is not connected to the
801 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
802 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
803 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
804 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 805 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
806 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 807 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
808 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 809 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
810 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 811 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
812 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 813 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
814 generated dependencies.
815 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 816 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
817 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
818 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 819 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
820 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
821 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 822 - The backends now read print data using the read()
823 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
824 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 825 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
826 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 827 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
828 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
829 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
830 printers and classes all at once.
831 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
832 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 833 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
834 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
835 value.
1c9c423b 836 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
837 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
838 other options as strings.
f918a565 839 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
840 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
841 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 842 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
843 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
844 option.
74cfdb8b 845 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
846 integers and ranges.
847 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
848 language support for CUPS.
849
850
ee8b7dd3 851CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
852
843779ef 853 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 854 attribute name length or string with language value
855 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 856 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
857 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
858 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 859 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 860 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
861 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 862 - MacOS X fixes.
863 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
864 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
865 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
866 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 867 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
868 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
869 it from waiting for the job to complete when
870 communicating with some IPP implementations that
871 require it.
872
873
d2503e02 874CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
875
28a96fe2 876 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
877 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 878 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
879 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
880 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 881 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
882 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
883 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
884 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
885 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 886 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
887 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
888 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
889 *.convs files.
db911fcb 890 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
891 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
892 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
893 goes away.
7c587866 894 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
895 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 896 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 897 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 898 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 899 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
900 portion of the printer name, and since it would
901 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
902 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 903 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
904 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 905 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
906 connections to improve performance/response time.
907 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
908 from Andrea Suatoni.
909 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
910 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
911 tools support.
912 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
913 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
914 existed.
915 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
916 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 917 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
918 page-set option.
873a6f43 919 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
920 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 921 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
922 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
923 etc.)
bd73c81f 924 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
925 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
926 listing for a printer.
927 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
928 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
929 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 930 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
931 values.
dd5f3453 932 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
933 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 934 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
935 - Updated the Italian message translations.
936 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
937 files.
938 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
939 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 940 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
941 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
942 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 943 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
944 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 945 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
946 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 947 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
948 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 949 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
950 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
951 classification level, if set. This way the original
952 banner settings are preserved when classification
953 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 954 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
955 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 956 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
957 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
958 system default group was not used.
959 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
960 send multiple control files.
961 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
962 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
963 for the "https" scheme.
964 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
965 from the web interface for accounts other than
966 "root".
967 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
968 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
969 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
970 address properly.
971 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
972 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
973 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
974 inside a Location, which is not valid.
975 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
976 information under Linux.
977 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
978 option (if present) in PPD files.
979 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
980 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
981 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
982 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
983 the lppasswd command.
984 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
985 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
986 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
987 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
988 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
989 directory and configuration files are owned by and
990 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
991 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
992 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
993 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
994 restarting cupsd.
995 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
996 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
997 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
998 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
999 for commands on the standard input.
1000 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1001 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1002 pointer platforms...
1003
1004
1005CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1006
1007 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1008 files.
1009 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1010 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1011 destination type for the new destination.
1012 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1013 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1014 printer ACLs.
1015 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1016 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1017 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1018 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1019 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1020
1021
1022CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1023
1024 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1025 files.
1026 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1027 files.
1028 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1029 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1030 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1031 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1032 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1033 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1034 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1035 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1036 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1037 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1038 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1039 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1040 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1041 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1042 options exceeded 100...]
1043 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1044 was set to "No".
1045 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1046 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1047 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1048 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1049 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1050 faster.
1051 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1052 support properly support the "-h" or default
1053 server name.
1054 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1055 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1056 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1057 support printer instances.
1058 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1059 underline formatting.
1060 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1061 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1062 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1063 (-1).
1064 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1065 from printing to printers in that class.
1066 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1067 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1068 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1069 slower systems since more information had to be
1070 transferred from server to client.
1071 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1072 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1073 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1074 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1075 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1076 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1077 processing.
1078 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1079 to stderr instead of stdout...
1080 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1081 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1082 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1083 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1084 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1085 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1086 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1087 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1088 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1089 the Spanish banner files.
1090 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1091 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1092 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1093 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1094 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1095 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1096 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1097 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1098 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1099 information when printing via LPD.
1100 - Added many warning and informational messages
1101 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1102 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1103 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1104 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1105 provided.
1106 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1107 cupsd.conf.
1108 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1109 32k.
1110 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1111 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1112 possible.
1113 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1114 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1115 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1116 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1117 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1118 long values.
1119 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1120 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1121 to CGIs.
1122 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1123 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1124 time.
1125 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1126 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1127 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1128 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1129 result in a blank page being output...
1130 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1131 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1132 page comments when printing files directly...)
1133 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1134 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1135 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1136 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1137 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1138 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1139 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1140 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1141 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1142 original destination.
1143 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1144 requested-attributes attribute in the
1145 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1146 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1147 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1148 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1149 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1150 prints.
1151
1152
1153CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1154
1155 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1156 makefiles to install files properly.
1157
1158
1159CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1160
1161 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1162 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1163 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1164 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1165 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1166 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1167 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1168 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1169 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1170 server.
1171 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1172 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1173 with some types of flow control.
1174 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1175 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1176 server.
1177 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1178 lines in the configuration files.
1179 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1180 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1181 from the server.
1182 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1183 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1184 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1185 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1186 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1187 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1188 script. Previously the job's document format was
1189 used, which was incorrect.
1190 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1191 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1192 "raw" model from the command-line.
1193 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1194 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1195 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1196 printers.
1197 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1198 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1199 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1200 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1201 which caused some confusion... :)
1202 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1203 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1204
1205
1206CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1207
1208 - The configure script did not substitute the
1209 correct user and group names.
1210 - The configure script did not use the full path
1211 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1212 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1213 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1214 duplexing.
1215 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1216 distribution.
1217 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1218 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1219 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1220 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1221 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1222 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1223 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1224 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1225 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1226 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1227 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1228 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1229
1230
1231CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1232
1233 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1234 approach for the various tests.
1235 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1236 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1237 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1238 options to specify the default user and group for
1239 CUPS.
1240 - Added AIX shared library support.
1241 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1242 parallel ports.
1243 - Now use install program or script to install
1244 directories, files, and symlinks.
1245 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1246 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1247 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1248 print.
1249 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1250 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1251 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1252 64-bit boundary.
1253 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1254 skip the Digest keyword.
1255 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1256 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1257 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1258 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1259 authentication from passwd.md5.
1260 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1261 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1262 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1263 PPD files should start much faster now.
1264 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1265 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1266 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1267 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1268 times.
1269 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1270 code if an error occurred.
1271 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1272 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1273 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1274 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1275 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1276 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1277 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1278 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1279 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1280 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1281 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1282 copies would come out instead of N.
1283 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1284 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1285 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1286 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1287 output an even number of pages.
1288 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1289 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1290 from being cancelled early.
1291 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1292 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1293 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1294 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1295 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1296 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1297 "ESC i" graphics command.
1298 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1299 printers to a local class.
1300 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1301 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1302 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1303 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1304 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1305 printers that were part of a class.
1306 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1307 printer more than once.
1308 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1309 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1310 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1311 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1312 account.
1313 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1314 against a location of "/printers/name".
1315 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1316 upgrades properly.
1317 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1318 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1319 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1320 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1321 when using Digest authentication.
1322 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1323 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1324 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1325 file.
1326 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1327 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1328 server.
1329 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1330 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1331 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1332 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1333 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1334 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1335 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1336 not the empty string.
1337 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1338 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1339 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1340 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1341 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1342 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1343 supported file types into the
1344 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1345 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1346 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1347 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1348 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1349 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1350 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1351 or behave irratically.
1352 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1353 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1354 specified.
1355 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1356 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1357 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1358 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1359 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1360 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1361 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1362 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1363 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1364 location or description of the printer.
1365 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1366 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1367 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1368 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1369 multiple groups.
1370 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1371 Apache.
1372 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1373 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1374 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1375 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1376 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1377 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1378 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1379 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1380 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1381 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1382 Ghostscript code.
1383 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1384 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1385 size instead of percent of page size.)
1386 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1387 instead of root.
1388 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1389 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1390 size options.
1391 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1392 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1393 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1394 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1395 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1396 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1397 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1398 character.
1399
1400
1401CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1402
1403 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1404 package for pstoraster.
1405 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1406 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1407 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1408 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1409 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1410 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1411 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1412 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1413 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1414 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1415 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1416 history disabled.
1417 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1418 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1419 connections initially.
1420 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1421 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1422 throughout.
1423 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1424 Richard Begg.)
1425 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1426 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1427 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1428 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1429 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1430 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1431 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1432 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1433 #54489...
1434 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1435 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1436 (only affects page-label and Classification
1437 options.)
1438 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1439 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1440
1441
1442CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1443
1444 - Configuration script changes, including new
1445 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1446 documentation and web content according to your
1447 favorite version of the FHS.
1448 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1449 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1450 test CUPS prior to installation.
1451 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1452 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1453 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1454 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1455 directives.
1456 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1457 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1458 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1459 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1460 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1461 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1462 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1463 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1464 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1465 formats are supported at present.)
1466 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1467 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1468 all browsing off.
1469 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1470 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1471 document.
1472 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1473 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1474 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1475 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1476 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1477 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1478 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1479 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1480 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1481 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1482 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1483 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1484 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1485 server.
1486 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1487 PJL commands from PPD files.
1488 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1489 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1490 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1491 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1492 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1493 the next/current job in the queue.
1494 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1495 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1496 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1497 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1498 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1499 for Sun Raster images.
1500 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1501 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1502 function.
1503 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1504 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1505 command when printing to USB devices.
1506 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1507 the cupsd.conf file.
1508 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1509 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1510 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1511 /dev/urandom.
1512 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1513 httpGetSubField().
1514 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1515 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1516 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1517 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1518 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1519 CGI was currently running.
1520 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1521 option=true or option=false.
1522 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1523 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1524 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1525 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1526 could cause it to crash.
1527 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1528 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1529 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1530 attribute when altering a job.
1531 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1532 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1533 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1534 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1535 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1536 addresses.
1537 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1538 the current classification on each page.
1539 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1540 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1541 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1542 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1543 encryption.
1544 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1545 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1546 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1547 support instances.
1548 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1549 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1550 and should never be used in a production environment.
1551 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1552 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1553 interface.
1554 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1555 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1556 prevent caching of the results.
1557 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1558 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1559 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1560 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1561 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1562 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1563 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1564 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1565 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1566 submitted by a user.
1567 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1568 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1569 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1570 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1571 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1572 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1573 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1574 embedded spaces.
1575 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1576 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1577 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1578 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1579 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1580 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1581 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1582 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1583 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1584 by the GIMP.
1585 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1586 bypassed the authentication checks.
1587 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1588 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1589 a race condition between the client and server for the
1590 upgrade to TLS.
1591 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1592 the pstops filter.
1593 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1594 the custom page size in the raster header.
1595 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1596 size to the size of the printed image.
1597 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1598 which are required by some printers.
1599 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1600 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1601 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1602 DSC).
1603 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1604 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1605 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1606 driver.
1607 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1608 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1609 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1610 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1611 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1612 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1613 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1614 address this problem.
1615 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1616 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1617 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1618 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1619 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1620 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1621 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1622 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1623 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1624 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1625 to manage print jobs.
1626 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1627 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1628 of 0 length.
1629 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1630 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1631 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1632
1633
1634CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1635
1636 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1637 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1638 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1639 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1640 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1641 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1642 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1643 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1644 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1645 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1646 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1647 /dev/ulptN.
1648 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1649 classes it was a member of.
1650 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1651 implicit status of a class.
1652 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1653 from implicit classes.
1654 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1655 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1656 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1657 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1658 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1659 of the scheduler.
1660 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1661 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1662 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1663 the /#copies variable anymore.
1664 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1665 option.
1666 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1667 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1668 for a bad-request error)
1669 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1670 unimplemented, not invalid.
1671 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1672 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1673 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1674 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1675 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1676 (pstoraster).
1677 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1678 which are not used.
1679 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1680 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1681 cgi_initialize_string().
1682 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1683 ippSetCGIVars()
1684 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1685 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1686 leaks.
1687 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1688 fails.
1689 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1690 setuid() calls.
1691 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1692 calls.
1693 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1694 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1695 bad input.
1696 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1697 missing hex digits.
1698
1699
1700CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1701
1702 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1703 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1704 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1705 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1706 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1707 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1708 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1709 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1710 corruption on many printers)
1711 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1712 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1713 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1714 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1715 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1716 requests.
1717 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1718 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1719 was lost.
1720 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1721 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1722 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1723 to be used for a socket.
1724 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1725 a set were numeric or string types.
1726 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1727 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1728 reading *.conf files.
1729 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1730 same logic as GET requests.
1731 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1732 /index.html to requested directory name.
1733 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1734 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1735 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1736 instead of mode 0600.
1737 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1738 instead of 0600.
1739 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1740 system name in log filenames.
1741 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1742 and hex strings.
1743
1744
1745CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1746
1747 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1748 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1749 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1750
1751
1752CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1753
1754 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1755 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1756 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1757 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1758 filter programs properly.
1759 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1760 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1761 versions of GCC.
1762 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1763 cancelled in StartJob().
1764 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1765 written with restricted permissions.
1766 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1767 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1768 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1769 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1770 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1771 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1772 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1773 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1774 syslog file.
1775 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1776 and only specifies the document format if it is
1777 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1778 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1779 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1780 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1781 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1782 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1783 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1784 cancelled.
1785 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1786 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1787 sporatic web interface problems.
1788 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1789 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1790 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1791 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1792 whitespace.
1793 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1794 instead of an integer.
1795 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1796 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1797 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1798 and user-level access control.
1799 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1800 encryption.
1801 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1802 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1803 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1804 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1805 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1806 to the man page.
1807 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1808 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1809 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1810 queued for a printer.
1811 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1812 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1813 reporting.
1814
1815
1816CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1817
1818 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1819 code.
1820 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1821 check in backend/serial.c.
1822 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1823 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1824 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1825 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1826 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1827 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1828 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1829 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1830 anyways)
1831
1832
1833CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1834
1835 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1836 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1837 for run level 5.
1838 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1839 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1840 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1841 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1842 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1843 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1844 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1845
1846
1847CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1848
1849 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1850 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1851 access from the local system.
1852 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1853 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1854 - Documentation updates.
1855 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1856 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1857 RedHat or Mandrake.
1858 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1859 warnings.
1860 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1861 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1862 hex)
1863 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1864 crash the server.
1865 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1866 correct value length for name-with-language and
1867 text-with-language attributes.
1868 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1869 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1870 efficient IPP server performance.
1871 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1872 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1873 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1874 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1875 attack.
1876 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1877 data required when getting the list of printer or
1878 class information. This should improve performance
1879 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1880 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1881 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1882 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1883 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1884 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1885 override the lpoptions default printer.
1886 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1887 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1888 attributes.
1889 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1890 did not check for the correct value for collated
1891 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1892 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1893 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1894 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1895 scale mode 2.
1896 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1897 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1898 that started with a number.
1899 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1900 multiple times in name-with-language and
1901 text-with-language attributes.
1902 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1903 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1904 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1905 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1906 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1907 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1908 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1909 close the spool directory.
1910 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1911 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1912 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1913 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1914 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1915 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1916 larger than the source string; this protects
1917 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1918 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1919 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1920 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1921 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1922 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1923 remote printers.
1924 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1925 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1926 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1927 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1928 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1929 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1930 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1931 3-argument contains() function.
1932 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1933 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1934 database containing 0 printers.
1935 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1936 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1937 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1938 printer was always busy.
1939 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1940 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1941 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1942 jobs.
1943 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1944 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1945 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1946 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1947 57600 and 115200 baud.
1948 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1949 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1950 option in the device URI.
1951 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1952 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1953 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1954 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1955 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1956 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1957 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1958 job attributes to be changed.
1959 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1960 web interface.
1961 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1962 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1963 since they do not map)
1964 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1965 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1966 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1967 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1968 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1969 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1970 child signals while loading devices.
1971 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1972 and classes.
1973 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1974 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1975 driver dithering code.
1976 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1977 after the first active printer.
1978 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1979 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1980 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1981 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1982 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1983 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1984 accepted null values.
1985 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1986 of the backends.
1987 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1988 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1989 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1990 is set in the plot file.
1991 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1992 user name, causing it to always fail.
1993 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1994 under Windows.
1995 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1996 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1997 didn't handle control file job information in any
1998 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1999 a file.
2000 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2001 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2002 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2003 printing on some systems.
2004 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2005 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2006 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2007 it.
2008
2009
2010CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2011
2012 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2013 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2014 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2015 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2016 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2017 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2018 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2019 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2020 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2021 order, which prevented remote printing.
2022 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2023 IPP requests and language information when closing
2024 a client connection.
2025 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2026 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2027 compatibles)
2028 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2029 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2030 on many OS's.
2031 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2032 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2033 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2034 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2035 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2036 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2037 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2038 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2039 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2040 PPD files.
2041 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2042 when the destination printer supported it. This
2043 caused problems when printing text files to other
2044 CUPS servers.
2045 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2046 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2047 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2048 the dates.)
2049 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2050 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2051 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2052 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2053 be clipped.
2054
2055
2056CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2057
2058 - Makefile fixes.
2059 - RPM spec file changes.
2060 - Documentation updates.
2061 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2062 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2063 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2064 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2065 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2066 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2067 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2068 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2069 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2070 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2071 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2072 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2073 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2074 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2075 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2076 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2077 specified.
2078 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2079 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2080 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2081 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2082 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2083 cupsd.conf.
2084 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2085 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2086 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2087 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2088 filter mode 'l'.
2089 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2090 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2091 defaults for all print queues.
2092 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2093 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2094 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2095 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2096 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2097 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2098 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2099 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2100 printer was defined with the same name.
2101 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2102 remove options for a printer or instance.
2103 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2104 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2105 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2106 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2107 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2108 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2109 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2110 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2111 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2112 job-printer-uri attribute.
2113 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2114 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2115 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2116 remote printers.
2117 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2118 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2119 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2120 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2121 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2122 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2123 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2124 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2125 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2126 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2127 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2128 printer set using lpoptions.
2129 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2130 list the printer-specific options and their current
2131 settings.
2132 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2133 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2134 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2135 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2136 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2137 text printing.
2138 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2139 instances.
2140 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2141 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2142 limit.
2143 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2144 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2145 new client connections.
2146 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2147 required pagedevice parameters.
2148 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2149 under Linux.
2150 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2151 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2152 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2153 would stop processing.
2154 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2155 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2156 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2157 that was currently printing a job.
2158 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2159 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2160 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2161 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2162 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2163 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2164 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2165 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2166 option values separated by commas.
2167 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2168 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2169 and free bytes once a minute)
2170 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2171 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2172 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2173 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2174 printers.
2175 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2176 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2177 requests from that address to the server name.
2178 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2179 server.domain.com to localhost.
2180 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2181 the previous device and driver settings (except
2182 for serial ports.)
2183 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2184 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2185 after a job is completed when job file history is
2186 turned off.
2187 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2188 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2189 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2190 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2191 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2192 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2193 for "lpstat -v" output.
2194 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2195 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2196 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2197 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2198 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2199 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2200 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2201 by itself without quoting.
2202
2203
2204CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2205
2206 - Makefile/configure fixes
2207 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2208 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2209 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2210 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2211 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2212 number generator for certificates.
2213 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2214 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2215 the filter user, typically "lp".
2216 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2217 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2218 user.
2219 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2220 function.
2221 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2222 standard input.
2223 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2224 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2225 page header as needed.
2226 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2227 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2228 immediately when last-document was true.
2229 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2230 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2231 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2232 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2233 and many PS printers.
2234 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2235 filters.
2236 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2237 debugging problems.
2238 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2239 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2240 calling problem...)
2241 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2242 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2243 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2244 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2245 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2246 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2247 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2248 by default.
2249 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2250 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2251 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2252 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2253 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2254 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2255 CUPS software.
2256
2257
2258CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2259
2260 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2261 old PDF filter files.
2262 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2263 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2264 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2265 network devices.
2266 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2267 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2268 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2269 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2270 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2271 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2272 is defined otherwise.
2273 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2274 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2275 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2276 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2277 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2278 0-length PPD file was read.
2279 - The image filters were not handling images with
2280 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2281 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2282 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2283 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2284 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2285 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2286 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2287 documents if they don't have it.
2288 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2289 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2290 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2291 --prefix was specified.
2292 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2293 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2294 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2295 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2296 color mode until it can be fixed.
2297 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2298 correctly in all cases.
2299 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2300 time in banner files.
2301
2302
2303CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2304
2305 - Documentation updates.
2306 - Configuration script updates.
2307 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2308 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2309 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2310 ppd_file_t structure.
2311 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2312 before it was used.
2313 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2314 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2315 the localhost address.
2316 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2317 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2318 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2319 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2320 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2321 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2322 PDF support.
2323 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2324 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2325 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2326 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2327 pstoraster.
2328 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2329 the user.
2330 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2331 not running.
2332 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2333 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2334 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2335 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2336 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2337 setpagedevice operator.
2338 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2339 the default banner pages.
2340 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2341 "position" option.
2342 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2343 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2344 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2345 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2346 "printer@server") when possible.
2347 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2348 with no PageSize attributes.
2349 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2350 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2351 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2352 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2353 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2354 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2355 cupsd.
2356 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2357 locations.
2358 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2359 variables to specify installation directories as
2360 needed.
2361 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2362 when the scheduler is started.
2363 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2364 printer.
2365 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2366 printer are automatically deleted.
2367 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2368 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2369 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2370 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2371 request.
2372 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2373 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2374 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2375 is "no-hold".
2376 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2377 responses.
2378 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2379 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2380 printer.
2381 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2382 request fails.
2383 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2384 printer and class names.
2385 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2386 received in a POST request.
2387
2388
2389CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2390
2391 - Documentation updates.
2392 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2393 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2394 method.
2395 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2396 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2397 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2398 - Missing the job-restart template.
2399 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2400 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2401 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2402 not specified.
2403 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2404 from getting through.
2405 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2406 stderr.
2407 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2408 job name and display string, if supported.
2409 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2410 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2411 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2412 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2413 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2414 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2415 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2416 UTF-8...
2417 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2418 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2419 could cause cupsd to crash.
2420 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2421 crash.
2422 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2423 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2424 "HH:MM:SS".
2425 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2426 connection structure.
2427 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2428 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2429 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2430 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2431 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2432 is a potential security hole.
2433 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2434 new pstoraster.
2435 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2436 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2437 (/dev/usblp#)
2438 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2439 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2440 release.
2441
2442
2443CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2444
2445 - Documentation updates.
2446 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2447 now compile better under *BSD.)
2448 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2449 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2450 tray was selected.
2451 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2452 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2453 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2454 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2455 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2456 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2457 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2458 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2459 can handle.
2460 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2461 cause cupsd to crash.
2462 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2463 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2464 mime.types file.
2465 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2466 of file to be used as a banner.
2467 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2468 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2469 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2470 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2471 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2472 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2473 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2474 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2475 the IANA registrations.
2476 - New PostScript banner pages.
2477 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2478 filter.
2479 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2480 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2481 code.
2482 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2483 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2484 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2485 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2486 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2487 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2488 accurate width specification.
2489 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2490 files.
2491 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2492 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2493 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2494 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2495 that support it.
2496 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2497 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2498 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2499 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2500 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2501 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2502 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2503 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2504 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2505 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2506
2507
2508CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2509
2510 - Documentation updates.
2511 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2512 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2513 shell and Bash.
2514 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2515 code.
2516 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2517 manufacturer in the PPD.
2518 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2519 output attributes to be set.
2520 - Added banner page support.
2521 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2522 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2523 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2524 timezone offset.
2525 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2526 file is generated).
2527 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2528 printers when they became available.
2529 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2530 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2531 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2532 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2533 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2534 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2535 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2536 (override with -f)
2537 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2538 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2539 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2540 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2541 folks.
2542 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2543 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2544 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2545 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2546 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2547 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2548 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2549 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2550 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2551 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2552 languages (still only have templates for English)
2553 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2554 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2555 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2556 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2557 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2558 needed for some sites)
2559 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2560 templates.
2561 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2562 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2563 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2564 specific printer.
2565 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2566 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2567 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2568 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2569 authentication.
2570 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2571 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2572 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2573 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2574 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2575 filter.
2576 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2577 US-ASCII.
2578 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2579 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2580 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2581 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2582 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2583 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2584 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2585 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2586 basis without environment variables.
2587 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2588
2589
2590CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2591
2592 - Documentation updates.
2593 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2594 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2595 printer.
2596 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2597 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2598 distribution.
2599 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2600 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2601 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2602 to match the IPP spec.
2603 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2604 (previously they would be ignored)
2605 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2606 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2607 machines.
2608 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2609 and printer.
2610 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2611 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2612 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2613 BrowseRelay directives.
2614 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2615 still receives information on remote printers.
2616 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2617 networks)
2618 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2619 of PPD files.
2620 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2621 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2622 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2623 close their input files.
2624
2625

2627
2628 - NEW web-based administration interface.
2629 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
2630 - NEW user-defined printers and options.

2644 was being used.
2645 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
