3fc87a99 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
5
0cd4970e 6 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
7 Hat (STR #253)
8 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
9 the standard constants when reporting printer status
10 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 11 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
12 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
13 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 14 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
15 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
16 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
17 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
18 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
19 URI (STR #247)
20 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
21 (STR #249)
22 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
23 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 24 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
25 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 26 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
27 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 28 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
29 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 30 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
31 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
32 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 33 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
34 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 35 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
36 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
37 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 38 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
39 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 40 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
41 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
42 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 43 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
44 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
45 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
46 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 47 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
48 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
49 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
50 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
51 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 52 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
53 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 54 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
55 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
56 (STR #209)
0c676a75 57 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
58 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 59 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
60 the user already had specified the proper orientation
61 (STR #207)
e5734f04 62 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 63 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
64 #193)
0372885f 65 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
66 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
67 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 68 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
69 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
70 programs rather than the port that the browser
71 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 72 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
73 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
74 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
75 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
76 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
77 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
78 files define the job-priority and
79 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 80 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
81 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 82 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
83 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
84 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
85 caused problems with some implementations of the
86 standard C library. (STR #159)
87 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
88 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 89 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
90 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 91 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
92 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
93 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
94 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 95 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
96 strings if the description string is not available
97 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 98 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
99 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
100 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
101 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
102 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 103 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
104 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
105 #147)
20bde6fb 106 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
107 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
108 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 109 - Printers with special characters in their names were
110 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 111 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
112 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
113 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
114 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
115 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 116 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
117 files did not get installed (STR #148)
118 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
119 without shared libraries (STR #149)
120 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
121 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 122 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
123 capability bit (STR #144)
124 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
125 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 126 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
127 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
128 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 129 #139)
130 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
131 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 132 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
133 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 134 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
135 command after the PJL language escape to work around
136 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
137 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
138 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 139 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 140 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 141
142
8dc4af74 143CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
144
a17e6548 145 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
146 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
147 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 148 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
149 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
150 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
151 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 152 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
153 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 154 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
155 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
156 #117)
157 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 158 - The configure script didn't specify the static
159 libraries properly when configuring with the
160 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 161 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
162 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
163 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 164 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
165 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 166 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
167
168
af57319f 169CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 170
1ed20df6 171 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
172 classes would get double banner pages for each
173 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 174 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
175 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 176 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
177 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
178 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 179 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
180 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
181 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
182 #70)
92498b68 183 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
184 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 185 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 186 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
187 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
188 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 189 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
190 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
191 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
192 annoying error message (STR #45)
193
194
2e6bce36 195CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 196
fb766c9e 197 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
198 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
199 #59)
d8b9e5fa 200 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
201 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 202 - The German web interface templates did not use the
203 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 204 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
205 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 206 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
207 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
208 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
209
210
e309e07a 211CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
212
b07e0cc2 213 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
214 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
215 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
216 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
217 user - STR #48)
b01791df 218 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
219 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 220 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
221 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 222 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
223 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
224 was handled (STR #47)
225 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
226 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
227 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 228 - The scheduler did not put the
229 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
230 attributes group.
231 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
232 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 233 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 234 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
235 and #39)
254aa207 236 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
237 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
238 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
239 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
240 requirements (STR #33)
241 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
242 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
243 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
244 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 245 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
246 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
247 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
248 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 249 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
250 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
251 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 252 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 253 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 254 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
255 Jacke)
256 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
257 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 258
259
b696f4e3 260CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
261
ac098b06 262 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
263 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
264 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
265 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
266 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 267 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
268 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 269 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 270 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
271 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
272 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 273 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
274 not work.
c8a55d2c 275 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
276 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
277 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
278 was not added to the collection value.
279 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
280 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 281 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
282 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
283 directives.
284 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
285 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
286 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 287 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
288 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 289 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
290 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
291 #13)
b696f4e3 292 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
293 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
294 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 295 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 296 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
297 message files such as those used for the job history
298 in /var/spool/cups.
299
300
fc7f6f69 301CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 302
265fb4a4 303 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
304 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 305 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
306 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
307 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
308 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
309 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
310 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 311 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 312 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
313 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 314 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
315 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
316 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 317 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
318 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 319 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
320 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
321 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
322 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 323 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
324 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
325 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
326 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
327 your locale.
5073e3f8 328 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
329 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
330 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 331 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
332 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 333 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
334 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
335 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
336 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
337 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 338 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
339 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 340 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
341 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
342 respectively) and has some additional changes to
343 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
344 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 345 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 346 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
347 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 348 - Added support for STATE: messages
349 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
350 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 351 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
352 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
353 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
354 root.
4d4fb342 355 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
356 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 357 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 358 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
359 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
360 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
361 information.
d40085f1 362 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
363 field.
dd9e85de 364 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
365 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
366 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
367 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
368 attribute to control whether job history data is
369 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
370 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
371 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 372 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
373 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 374 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
375 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
376 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 377 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
378 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
379 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
380 Kubla]
3f2fa036 381 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
382 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
383 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
384 sent. It now only references attributes that change
385 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
386 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
387 2k.
388 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
389 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
390 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 391 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
392 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 393 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
394 printer was available.
395 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
396 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
397 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 398 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
399 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 400 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
401 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
402 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 403 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
404 the image on the page when printing in landscape
405 orientation.
b3291c5a 406 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
407 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
408 and ManualFeed commands.
409 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
410 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 411 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
412 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
413 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
414 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
415 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 416 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
417 list of available devices, when it should have been
418 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 419 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
420 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 421 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
422 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 423 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
424 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
425 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
426 up...
2e32fcdb 427 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
428 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
429 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
430 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 431 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
432 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
433 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
434 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 435 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
436 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 437 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
438 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
439 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 440 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
441 variable under MacOS X.
442 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
443 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 444 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
445 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 446 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
447 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
448 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 449 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
450 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 451 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
452 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
453 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 454 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 455 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
456 sequence.
49d1718a 457 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
458 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 459 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 460 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
461 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 462 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
463 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 464 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
465 Apple.
8bd0441f 466 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
467 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 468 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
469 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
470 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
471 option.
472 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
473 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 474 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
475 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
476 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 477 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
478 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
479 via IPP.
edd85093 480 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
481 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 482 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
483 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 484 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
485 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
486 means that printers that don't report their serial
487 numbers in the device ID string will not be
488 individually selectable.
d0598693 489 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
490 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 491 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 492 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
493 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
494 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
495 the same.
496 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
497 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
498 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 499 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
500 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 501 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
502 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 503 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
504 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
505 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 506 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
507 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 508 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
509 an attribute definition.
de218675 510 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
511 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
512 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
513 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 514 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
515 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
516 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
517 situations. The warning message is now written no more
518 than once per minute.
67fa1315 519 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
520 PS RIPs.
320115a7 521 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
522 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
523 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 524 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
525 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
526 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
527 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
528 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
529 program or man page files.
530
531
759f5023 532CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
533
e38a7cef 534 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
535 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
536 write a job control file.
f63a430f 537 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
538 directive to control whether new printers can be added
539 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
540 default is to not allow printers with these device
541 URIs.
767ae392 542 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
543 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
544 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 545 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
546 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
547 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
548 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 549 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
550 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 551 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
552 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
553 attacks.
901b295d 554 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
555 interface.
556 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
557 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
558 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 559 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
560 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
561 the scheduler did not close the connections
562 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 563 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
564 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 565 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
566 back to its original at the end of a job; this
567 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
568 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 569 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
570 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 571 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
572 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
573 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
574 PPD files.
dcc2e394 575 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
576 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
577 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 578 - The web interface did not always report the correct
579 error message.
759f5023 580 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
581 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
582 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
583 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
584 process from returning.
585
586
3cc7bca4 587CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
588
5c826e17 589 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
590 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 591 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 592 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
593 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 594 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
595 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
596 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
597 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
598 ticket data.
599 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
600 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
601 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 602 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
603 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
604 group membership still requires the account name to be
605 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 606 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
607 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
608 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
609 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 610 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
611 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 612 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
613 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
614 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
615 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
616 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 617 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
618 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 619 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
620 caused by servers sending the status line and
621 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 622 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
623 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
624 empty.
78143282 625 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
626 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 627 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
628 Windows.
f33d1239 629 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
630 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 631 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
632 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
633 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 634 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
635 (interrupted system call) errors.
636 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
637 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
638 caused by the child signal handler.
639 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
640 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
641 error.
e1e31a38 642 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
643 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 644 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
645 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 646 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
647 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
648 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 649 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
650 properly localized time string.
549d1888 651 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
652 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
653 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 654 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
655 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 656 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
657 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
658 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
659 scheduler.
660 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
661 scheduler so that the printer object information is
662 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
663 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
664 queues.
854d3bb2 665 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
666 filename.
137d4d44 667 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
668 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
669 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
670 automatic form feed.
671 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 672 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
673 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 674 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
675 MacOS X.
676 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
677 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
678 has been removed.
679
680
06415a96 681CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
682
727e6d14 683 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
684 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
685 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
686 printer.
687 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
688 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 689 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
690 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
691 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 692 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
693 you can display completed jobs as well as
694 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 695 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
696 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
697 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 698 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
699 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
700 occurs.
db628f45 701 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
702 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 703 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
704 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
705 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
706 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
707 the page number.
da312e94 708 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
709 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 710 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 711 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
712 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
713 banner pages.
25037b2b 714 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
715 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
716 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 717 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 718 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
719 reliably.
a9219725 720 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
721 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
722 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
723 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 724 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
725 connection when sending an error that requires the
726 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
727 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
728 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 729 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
730 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
731 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
732 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 733 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
734 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
735 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
736 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 737 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
738 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 739 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
740 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 741 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
742 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 743 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
744 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 745 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
746 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
747 defines a circular filter rule.
748 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
749 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 750 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
751 files.
5ca43bfd 752 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
753 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 754 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
755 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
756 compatibility).
879062a9 757 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 758 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
759 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
760 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 761 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
762 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 763 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
764 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
765 shutdown.
098f80c5 766 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
767 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
768 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 769 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
770 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
771 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
772 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 773 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
774 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
775 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 776 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
777 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 778 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
779 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
780 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
781 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 782 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
783 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
784 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 785 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
786 connect to the remote server name in a
787 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
788 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
789 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
790 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 791 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
792 the program would try to print the option letter that
793 caused the error using the wrong index into the
794 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 795 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
796 attributes from printer options in
797 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 798 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
799 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 800 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 801 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
802 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 803 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
804 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
805 characters.
806 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
807 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
808 the language mode.
809 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
810 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
811 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
812 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
813 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 814 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 815 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
816 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 817 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
818 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 819 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
820 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
821 driver.
997cf8b0 822 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
823 the next available printer rather than waiting until
824 that printer is available.
825 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
826 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
827 printer class instead of a normal printer.
828 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
829 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
830 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 831 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
832 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
833 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
834 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 835 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
836 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
837 to accept connections.
838 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
839 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
840 and current directory.
841 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
842 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
843 into the file type database would no longer be valid
844 for existing jobs.
845 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
846 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
847 actually provided.
848 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 849 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
850 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 851 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
852 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 853 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
854 case-insensitive.
855 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
856 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 857 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
858 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
859 Solaris.
b91c8a76 860 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
861 printing banner pages.
4f759211 862 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 863 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
864 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 865 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
866 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 867 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
868 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
869 file.
8ce19460 870 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
871 description from member printers.
fabb006b 872 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
873 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 874 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 875 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
876 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 877 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
878 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 879 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
880 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
881 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 882 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
883 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
884 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
885 up...
19e7b382 886 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
887 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
888 authentication didn't work for administration
889 operations.
103abc03 890 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
891 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 892 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
893 interface to "localhost".
894 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
895 response to queue state commands, but those commands
896 only return textual data.
897
898
7680b71d 899CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
900
901 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
902 string function header, which is required on systems
903 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
904 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
905 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
906 have to.
907
908
74cfdb8b 909CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
910
dab1a4d8 911 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
912 license exception.
611e4623 913 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
914 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 915 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
916 option if none is provided to automatically select the
917 correct tray.
ed6078a4 918 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
919 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
920 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
921 options.
922 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
923 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
924 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 925 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
926 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
927 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
928 queues) on the server.
929 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
930 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
931 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
932 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 933 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
934 set definitions.
a319615f 935 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
936 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 937 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
938 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 939 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 940 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 941 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
942 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 943 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
944 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 945 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
946 have a small comment header explaining where the file
947 comes from...
6df23e27 948 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 949 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 950 number-up-layout options.
415199da 951 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
952 using the default printer.
953 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
954 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
955 to allow for longer printer names.
956 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
957 history data.
958 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
959 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
960 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
961 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 962 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
963 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
964 caused problems on some installations that would
965 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
966 level 3.
967 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 968 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
969 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 970 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
971 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 972 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
973 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 974 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 975 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
976 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
977 (cupsd).
a4e23897 978 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
979 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
980 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
981 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 982 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
983 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
984 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
985 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
986 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
987 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
988 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
989 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
990 non-ISOLatin1 text.
991 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
992 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
993 of glyphs.
576b82ca 994 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
995 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
996 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
997 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 998 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
999 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1000 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1001 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1002 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1003 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1004 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1005 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1006 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1007 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1008 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1009 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1010 classes.
7200e26c 1011 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1012 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1013 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1014 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1015 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1016 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1017 control and browsing based on the current interface
1018 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1019 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1020 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1021 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1022 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1023 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1024 group.
f4647930 1025 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1026 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1027 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1028 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1029 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1030 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1031 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1032 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1033 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1034 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1035 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1036 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1037 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1038 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1039 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1040 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1041 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1042 generated dependencies.
1043 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1044 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1045 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1046 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1047 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1048 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1049 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1050 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1051 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1052 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1053 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1054 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1055 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1056 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1057 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1058 printers and classes all at once.
1059 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1060 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1061 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1062 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1063 value.
1c9c423b 1064 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1065 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1066 other options as strings.
f918a565 1067 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1068 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1069 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1070 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1071 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1072 option.
74cfdb8b 1073 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1074 integers and ranges.
1075 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1076 language support for CUPS.
1077
1078
ee8b7dd3 1079CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1080
843779ef 1081 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1082 attribute name length or string with language value
1083 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1084 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1085 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1086 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1087 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1088 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1089 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1090 - MacOS X fixes.
1091 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1092 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1093 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1094 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1095 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1096 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1097 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1098 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1099 require it.
1100
1101
d2503e02 1102CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1103
28a96fe2 1104 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1105 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1106 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1107 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1108 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1109 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1110 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1111 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1112 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1113 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1114 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1115 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1116 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1117 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1118 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1119 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1120 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1121 goes away.
7c587866 1122 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1123 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1124 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1125 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1126 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1127 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1128 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1129 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1130 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1131 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1132 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1133 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1134 connections to improve performance/response time.
1135 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1136 from Andrea Suatoni.
1137 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1138 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1139 tools support.
1140 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1141 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1142 existed.
1143 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1144 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1145 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1146 page-set option.
873a6f43 1147 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1148 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1149 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1150 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1151 etc.)
bd73c81f 1152 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1153 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1154 listing for a printer.
1155 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1156 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1157 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1158 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1159 values.
dd5f3453 1160 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1161 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1162 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1163 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1164 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1165 files.
1166 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1167 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1168 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1169 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1170 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1171 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1172 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1173 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1174 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1175 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1176 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1177 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1178 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1179 classification level, if set. This way the original
1180 banner settings are preserved when classification
1181 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1182 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1183 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1184 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1185 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1186 system default group was not used.
1187 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1188 send multiple control files.
1189 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1190 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1191 for the "https" scheme.
1192 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1193 from the web interface for accounts other than
1194 "root".
1195 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1196 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1197 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1198 address properly.
1199 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1200 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1201 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1202 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1203 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1204 information under Linux.
1205 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1206 option (if present) in PPD files.
1207 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1208 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1209 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1210 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1211 the lppasswd command.
1212 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1213 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1214 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1215 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1216 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1217 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1218 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1219 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1220 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1221 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1222 restarting cupsd.
1223 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1224 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1225 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1226 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1227 for commands on the standard input.
1228 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1229 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1230 pointer platforms...
1231
1232
1233CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1234
1235 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1236 files.
1237 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1238 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1239 destination type for the new destination.
1240 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1241 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1242 printer ACLs.
1243 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1244 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1245 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1246 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1247 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1248
1249
1250CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1251
1252 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1253 files.
1254 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1255 files.
1256 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1257 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1258 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1259 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1260 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1261 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1262 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1263 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1264 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1265 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1266 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1267 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1268 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1269 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1270 options exceeded 100...]
1271 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1272 was set to "No".
1273 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1274 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1275 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1276 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1277 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1278 faster.
1279 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1280 support properly support the "-h" or default
1281 server name.
1282 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1283 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1284 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1285 support printer instances.
1286 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1287 underline formatting.
1288 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1289 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1290 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1291 (-1).
1292 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1293 from printing to printers in that class.
1294 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1295 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1296 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1297 slower systems since more information had to be
1298 transferred from server to client.
1299 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1300 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1301 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1302 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1303 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1304 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1305 processing.
1306 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1307 to stderr instead of stdout...
1308 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1309 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1310 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1311 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1312 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1313 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1314 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1315 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1316 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1317 the Spanish banner files.
1318 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1319 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1320 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1321 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1322 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1323 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1324 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1325 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1326 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1327 information when printing via LPD.
1328 - Added many warning and informational messages
1329 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1330 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1331 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1332 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1333 provided.
1334 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1335 cupsd.conf.
1336 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1337 32k.
1338 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1339 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1340 possible.
1341 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1342 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1343 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1344 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1345 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1346 long values.
1347 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1348 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1349 to CGIs.
1350 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1351 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1352 time.
1353 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1354 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1355 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1356 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1357 result in a blank page being output...
1358 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1359 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1360 page comments when printing files directly...)
1361 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1362 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1363 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1364 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1365 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1366 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1367 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1368 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1369 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1370 original destination.
1371 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1372 requested-attributes attribute in the
1373 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1374 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1375 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1376 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1377 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1378 prints.
1379
1380
1381CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1382
1383 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1384 makefiles to install files properly.
1385
1386
1387CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1388
1389 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1390 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1391 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1392 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1393 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1394 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1395 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1396 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1397 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1398 server.
1399 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1400 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1401 with some types of flow control.
1402 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1403 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1404 server.
1405 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1406 lines in the configuration files.
1407 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1408 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1409 from the server.
1410 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1411 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1412 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1413 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1414 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1415 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1416 script. Previously the job's document format was
1417 used, which was incorrect.
1418 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1419 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1420 "raw" model from the command-line.
1421 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1422 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1423 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1424 printers.
1425 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1426 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1427 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1428 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1429 which caused some confusion... :)
1430 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1431 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1432
1433
1434CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1435
1436 - The configure script did not substitute the
1437 correct user and group names.
1438 - The configure script did not use the full path
1439 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1440 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1441 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1442 duplexing.
1443 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1444 distribution.
1445 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1446 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1447 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1448 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1449 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1450 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1451 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1452 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1453 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1454 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1455 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1456 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1457
1458
1459CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1460
1461 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1462 approach for the various tests.
1463 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1464 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1465 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1466 options to specify the default user and group for
1467 CUPS.
1468 - Added AIX shared library support.
1469 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1470 parallel ports.
1471 - Now use install program or script to install
1472 directories, files, and symlinks.
1473 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1474 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1475 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1476 print.
1477 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1478 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1479 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1480 64-bit boundary.
1481 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1482 skip the Digest keyword.
1483 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1484 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1485 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1486 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1487 authentication from passwd.md5.
1488 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1489 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1490 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1491 PPD files should start much faster now.
1492 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1493 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1494 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1495 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1496 times.
1497 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1498 code if an error occurred.
1499 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1500 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1501 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1502 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1503 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1504 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1505 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1506 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1507 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1508 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1509 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1510 copies would come out instead of N.
1511 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1512 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1513 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1514 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1515 output an even number of pages.
1516 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1517 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1518 from being cancelled early.
1519 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1520 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1521 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1522 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1523 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1524 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1525 "ESC i" graphics command.
1526 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1527 printers to a local class.
1528 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1529 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1530 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1531 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1532 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1533 printers that were part of a class.
1534 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1535 printer more than once.
1536 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1537 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1538 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1539 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1540 account.
1541 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1542 against a location of "/printers/name".
1543 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1544 upgrades properly.
1545 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1546 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1547 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1548 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1549 when using Digest authentication.
1550 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1551 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1552 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1553 file.
1554 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1555 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1556 server.
1557 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1558 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1559 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1560 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1561 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1562 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1563 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1564 not the empty string.
1565 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1566 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1567 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1568 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1569 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1570 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1571 supported file types into the
1572 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1573 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1574 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1575 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1576 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1577 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1578 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1579 or behave irratically.
1580 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1581 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1582 specified.
1583 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1584 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1585 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1586 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1587 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1588 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1589 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1590 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1591 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1592 location or description of the printer.
1593 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1594 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1595 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1596 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1597 multiple groups.
1598 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1599 Apache.
1600 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1601 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1602 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1603 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1604 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1605 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1606 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1607 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1608 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1609 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1610 Ghostscript code.
1611 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1612 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1613 size instead of percent of page size.)
1614 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1615 instead of root.
1616 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1617 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1618 size options.
1619 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1620 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1621 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1622 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1623 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1624 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1625 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1626 character.
1627
1628
1629CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1630
1631 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1632 package for pstoraster.
1633 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1634 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1635 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1636 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1637 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1638 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1639 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1640 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1641 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1642 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1643 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1644 history disabled.
1645 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1646 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1647 connections initially.
1648 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1649 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1650 throughout.
1651 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1652 Richard Begg.)
1653 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1654 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1655 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1656 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1657 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1658 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1659 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1660 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1661 #54489...
1662 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1663 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1664 (only affects page-label and Classification
1665 options.)
1666 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1667 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1668
1669
1670CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1671
1672 - Configuration script changes, including new
1673 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1674 documentation and web content according to your
1675 favorite version of the FHS.
1676 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1677 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1678 test CUPS prior to installation.
1679 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1680 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1681 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1682 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1683 directives.
1684 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1685 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1686 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1687 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1688 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1689 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1690 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1691 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1692 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1693 formats are supported at present.)
1694 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1695 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1696 all browsing off.
1697 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1698 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1699 document.
1700 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1701 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1702 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1703 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1704 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1705 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1706 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1707 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1708 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1709 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1710 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1711 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1712 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1713 server.
1714 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1715 PJL commands from PPD files.
1716 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1717 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1718 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1719 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1720 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1721 the next/current job in the queue.
1722 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1723 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1724 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1725 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1726 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1727 for Sun Raster images.
1728 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1729 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1730 function.
1731 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1732 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1733 command when printing to USB devices.
1734 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1735 the cupsd.conf file.
1736 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1737 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1738 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1739 /dev/urandom.
1740 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1741 httpGetSubField().
1742 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1743 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1744 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1745 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1746 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1747 CGI was currently running.
1748 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1749 option=true or option=false.
1750 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1751 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1752 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1753 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1754 could cause it to crash.
1755 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1756 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1757 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1758 attribute when altering a job.
1759 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1760 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1761 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1762 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1763 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1764 addresses.
1765 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1766 the current classification on each page.
1767 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1768 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1769 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1770 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1771 encryption.
1772 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1773 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1774 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1775 support instances.
1776 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1777 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1778 and should never be used in a production environment.
1779 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1780 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1781 interface.
1782 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1783 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1784 prevent caching of the results.
1785 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1786 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1787 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1788 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1789 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1790 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1791 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1792 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1793 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1794 submitted by a user.
1795 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1796 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1797 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1798 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1799 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1800 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1801 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1802 embedded spaces.
1803 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1804 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1805 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1806 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1807 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1808 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1809 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1810 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1811 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1812 by the GIMP.
1813 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1814 bypassed the authentication checks.
1815 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1816 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1817 a race condition between the client and server for the
1818 upgrade to TLS.
1819 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1820 the pstops filter.
1821 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1822 the custom page size in the raster header.
1823 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1824 size to the size of the printed image.
1825 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1826 which are required by some printers.
1827 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1828 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1829 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1830 DSC).
1831 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1832 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1833 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1834 driver.
1835 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1836 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1837 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1838 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1839 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1840 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1841 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1842 address this problem.
1843 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1844 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1845 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1846 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1847 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1848 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1849 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1850 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1851 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1852 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1853 to manage print jobs.
1854 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1855 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1856 of 0 length.
1857 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1858 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1859 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1860
1861
1862CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1863
1864 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1865 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1866 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1867 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1868 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1869 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1870 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1871 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1872 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1873 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1874 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1875 /dev/ulptN.
1876 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1877 classes it was a member of.
1878 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1879 implicit status of a class.
1880 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1881 from implicit classes.
1882 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1883 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1884 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1885 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1886 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1887 of the scheduler.
1888 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1889 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1890 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1891 the /#copies variable anymore.
1892 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1893 option.
1894 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1895 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1896 for a bad-request error)
1897 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1898 unimplemented, not invalid.
1899 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1900 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1901 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1902 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1903 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1904 (pstoraster).
1905 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1906 which are not used.
1907 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1908 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1909 cgi_initialize_string().
1910 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1911 ippSetCGIVars()
1912 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1913 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1914 leaks.
1915 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1916 fails.
1917 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1918 setuid() calls.
1919 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1920 calls.
1921 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1922 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1923 bad input.
1924 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1925 missing hex digits.
1926
1927
1928CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1929
1930 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1931 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1932 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1933 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1934 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1935 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1936 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1937 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1938 corruption on many printers)
1939 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1940 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1941 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1942 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1943 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1944 requests.
1945 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1946 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1947 was lost.
1948 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1949 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1950 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1951 to be used for a socket.
1952 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1953 a set were numeric or string types.
1954 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1955 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1956 reading *.conf files.
1957 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1958 same logic as GET requests.
1959 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1960 /index.html to requested directory name.
1961 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1962 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1963 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1964 instead of mode 0600.
1965 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1966 instead of 0600.
1967 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1968 system name in log filenames.
1969 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1970 and hex strings.
1971
1972
1973CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1974
1975 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1976 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1977 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1978
1979
1980CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1981
1982 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1983 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1984 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1985 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1986 filter programs properly.
1987 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1988 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1989 versions of GCC.
1990 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1991 cancelled in StartJob().
1992 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1993 written with restricted permissions.
1994 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1995 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1996 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1997 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1998 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1999 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2000 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2001 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2002 syslog file.
2003 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2004 and only specifies the document format if it is
2005 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2006 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2007 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2008 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2009 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2010 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2011 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2012 cancelled.
2013 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2014 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2015 sporatic web interface problems.
2016 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2017 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2018 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2019 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2020 whitespace.
2021 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2022 instead of an integer.
2023 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2024 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2025 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2026 and user-level access control.
2027 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2028 encryption.
2029 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2030 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2031 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2032 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2033 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2034 to the man page.
2035 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2036 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2037 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2038 queued for a printer.
2039 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2040 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2041 reporting.
2042
2043
2044CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2045
2046 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2047 code.
2048 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2049 check in backend/serial.c.
2050 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2051 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2052 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2053 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2054 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2055 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2056 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2057 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2058 anyways)
2059
2060
2061CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2062
2063 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2064 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2065 for run level 5.
2066 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2067 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2068 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2069 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2070 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2071 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2072 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2073
2074
2075CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2076
2077 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2078 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2079 access from the local system.
2080 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2081 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2082 - Documentation updates.
2083 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2084 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2085 RedHat or Mandrake.
2086 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2087 warnings.
2088 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2089 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2090 hex)
2091 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2092 crash the server.
2093 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2094 correct value length for name-with-language and
2095 text-with-language attributes.
2096 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2097 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2098 efficient IPP server performance.
2099 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2100 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2101 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2102 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2103 attack.
2104 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2105 data required when getting the list of printer or
2106 class information. This should improve performance
2107 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2108 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2109 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2110 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2111 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2112 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2113 override the lpoptions default printer.
2114 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2115 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2116 attributes.
2117 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2118 did not check for the correct value for collated
2119 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2120 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2121 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2122 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2123 scale mode 2.
2124 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2125 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2126 that started with a number.
2127 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2128 multiple times in name-with-language and
2129 text-with-language attributes.
2130 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2131 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2132 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2133 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2134 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2135 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2136 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2137 close the spool directory.
2138 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2139 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2140 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2141 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2142 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2143 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2144 larger than the source string; this protects
2145 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2146 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2147 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2148 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2149 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2150 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2151 remote printers.
2152 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2153 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2154 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2155 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2156 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2157 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2158 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2159 3-argument contains() function.
2160 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2161 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2162 database containing 0 printers.
2163 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2164 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2165 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2166 printer was always busy.
2167 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2168 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2169 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2170 jobs.
2171 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2172 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2173 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2174 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2175 57600 and 115200 baud.
2176 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2177 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2178 option in the device URI.
2179 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2180 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2181 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2182 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2183 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2184 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2185 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2186 job attributes to be changed.
2187 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2188 web interface.
2189 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2190 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2191 since they do not map)
2192 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2193 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2194 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2195 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2196 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2197 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2198 child signals while loading devices.
2199 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2200 and classes.
2201 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2202 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2203 driver dithering code.
2204 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2205 after the first active printer.
2206 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2207 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2208 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2209 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2210 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2211 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2212 accepted null values.
2213 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2214 of the backends.
2215 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2216 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2217 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2218 is set in the plot file.
2219 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2220 user name, causing it to always fail.
2221 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2222 under Windows.
2223 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2224 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2225 didn't handle control file job information in any
2226 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2227 a file.
2228 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2229 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2230 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2231 printing on some systems.
2232 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2233 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2234 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2235 it.
2236
2237
2238CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2239
2240 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2241 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2242 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2243 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2244 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2245 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2246 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2247 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2248 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2249 order, which prevented remote printing.
2250 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2251 IPP requests and language information when closing
2252 a client connection.
2253 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2254 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2255 compatibles)
2256 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2257 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2258 on many OS's.
2259 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2260 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2261 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2262 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2263 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2264 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2265 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2266 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2267 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2268 PPD files.
2269 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2270 when the destination printer supported it. This
2271 caused problems when printing text files to other
2272 CUPS servers.
2273 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2274 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2275 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2276 the dates.)
2277 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2278 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2279 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2280 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2281 be clipped.
2282
2283
2284CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2285
2286 - Makefile fixes.
2287 - RPM spec file changes.
2288 - Documentation updates.
2289 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2290 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2291 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2292 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2293 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2294 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2295 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2296 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2297 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2298 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2299 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2300 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2301 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2302 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2303 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2304 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2305 specified.
2306 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2307 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2308 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2309 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2310 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2311 cupsd.conf.
2312 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2313 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2314 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2315 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2316 filter mode 'l'.
2317 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2318 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2319 defaults for all print queues.
2320 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2321 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2322 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2323 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2324 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2325 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2326 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2327 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2328 printer was defined with the same name.
2329 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2330 remove options for a printer or instance.
2331 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2332 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2333 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2334 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2335 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2336 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2337 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2338 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2339 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2340 job-printer-uri attribute.
2341 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2342 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2343 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2344 remote printers.
2345 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2346 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2347 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2348 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2349 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2350 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2351 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2352 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2353 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2354 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2355 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2356 printer set using lpoptions.
2357 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2358 list the printer-specific options and their current
2359 settings.
2360 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2361 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2362 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2363 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2364 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2365 text printing.
2366 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2367 instances.
2368 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2369 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2370 limit.
2371 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2372 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2373 new client connections.
2374 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2375 required pagedevice parameters.
2376 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2377 under Linux.
2378 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2379 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2380 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2381 would stop processing.
2382 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2383 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2384 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2385 that was currently printing a job.
2386 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2387 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2388 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2389 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2390 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2391 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2392 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2393 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2394 option values separated by commas.
2395 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2396 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2397 and free bytes once a minute)
2398 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2399 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2400 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2401 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2402 printers.
2403 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2404 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2405 requests from that address to the server name.
2406 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2407 server.domain.com to localhost.
2408 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2409 the previous device and driver settings (except
2410 for serial ports.)
2411 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2412 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2413 after a job is completed when job file history is
2414 turned off.
2415 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2416 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2417 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2418 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2419 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2420 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2421 for "lpstat -v" output.
2422 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2423 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2424 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2425 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2426 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2427 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2428 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2429 by itself without quoting.
2430
2431
2432CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2433
2434 - Makefile/configure fixes
2435 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2436 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2437 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2438 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2439 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2440 number generator for certificates.
2441 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2442 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2443 the filter user, typically "lp".
2444 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2445 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2446 user.
2447 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2448 function.
2449 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2450 standard input.
2451 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2452 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2453 page header as needed.
2454 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2455 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2456 immediately when last-document was true.
2457 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2458 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2459 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2460 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2461 and many PS printers.
2462 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2463 filters.
2464 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2465 debugging problems.
2466 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2467 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2468 calling problem...)
2469 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2470 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2471 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2472 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2473 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2474 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2475 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2476 by default.
2477 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2478 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2479 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2480 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2481 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2482 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2483 CUPS software.
2484
2485
2486CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2487
2488 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2489 old PDF filter files.
2490 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2491 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2492 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2493 network devices.
2494 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2495 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2496 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2497 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2498 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2499 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2500 is defined otherwise.
2501 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2502 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2503 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2504 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2505 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2506 0-length PPD file was read.
2507 - The image filters were not handling images with
2508 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2509 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2510 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2511 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2512 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2513 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2514 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2515 documents if they don't have it.
2516 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2517 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2518 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2519 --prefix was specified.
2520 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2521 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2522 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2523 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2524 color mode until it can be fixed.
2525 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2526 correctly in all cases.
2527 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2528 time in banner files.
2529
2530
2531CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2532
2533 - Documentation updates.
2534 - Configuration script updates.
2535 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2536 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2537 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2538 ppd_file_t structure.
2539 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2540 before it was used.
2541 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2542 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2543 the localhost address.
2544 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2545 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2546 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2547 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2548 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2549 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2550 PDF support.
2551 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2552 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2553 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2554 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2555 pstoraster.
2556 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2557 the user.
2558 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2559 not running.
2560 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2561 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2562 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2563 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2564 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2565 setpagedevice operator.
2566 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2567 the default banner pages.
2568 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2569 "position" option.
2570 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2571 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2572 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2573 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2574 "printer@server") when possible.
2575 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2576 with no PageSize attributes.
2577 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2578 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2579 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2580 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2581 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2582 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2583 cupsd.
2584 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2585 locations.
2586 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2587 variables to specify installation directories as
2588 needed.
2589 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2590 when the scheduler is started.
2591 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2592 printer.
2593 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2594 printer are automatically deleted.
2595 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2596 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2597 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2598 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2599 request.
2600 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2601 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2602 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2603 is "no-hold".
2604 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2605 responses.
2606 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2607 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2608 printer.
2609 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2610 request fails.
2611 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2612 printer and class names.
2613 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2614 received in a POST request.
2615
2616
2617CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2618
2619 - Documentation updates.
2620 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2621 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2622 method.
2623 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2624 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2625 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2626 - Missing the job-restart template.
2627 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2628 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2629 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2630 not specified.
2631 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2632 from getting through.
2633 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2634 stderr.
2635 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2636 job name and display string, if supported.
2637 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2638 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2639 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2640 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2641 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2642 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2643 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2644 UTF-8...
2645 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2646 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2647 could cause cupsd to crash.
2648 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2649 crash.
2650 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2651 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2652 "HH:MM:SS".
2653 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2654 connection structure.
2655 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2656 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2657 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2658 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2659 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2660 is a potential security hole.
2661 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2662 new pstoraster.
2663 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2664 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2665 (/dev/usblp#)
2666 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2667 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2668 release.
2669
2670
2671CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2672
2673 - Documentation updates.
2674 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2675 now compile better under *BSD.)
2676 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2677 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2678 tray was selected.
2679 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2680 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2681 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2682 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2683 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2684 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2685 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2686 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2687 can handle.
2688 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2689 cause cupsd to crash.
2690 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2691 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2692 mime.types file.
2693 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2694 of file to be used as a banner.
2695 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2696 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2697 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2698 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2699 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2700 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2701 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2702 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2703 the IANA registrations.
2704 - New PostScript banner pages.
2705 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2706 filter.
2707 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2708 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2709 code.
2710 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2711 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2712 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2713 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2714 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2715 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2716 accurate width specification.
2717 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2718 files.
2719 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2720 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2721 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2722 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2723 that support it.
2724 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2725 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2726 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2727 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2728 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2729 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2730 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2731 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2732 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2733 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2734
2735
2736CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2737
2738 - Documentation updates.
2739 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2740 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2741 shell and Bash.
2742 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2743 code.
2744 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2745 manufacturer in the PPD.
2746 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2747 output attributes to be set.
2748 - Added banner page support.
2749 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2750 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2751 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2752 timezone offset.
2753 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2754 file is generated).
2755 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2756 printers when they became available.
2757 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2758 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2759 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2760 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2761 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2762 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2763 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2764 (override with -f)
2765 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2766 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2767 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2768 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2769 folks.
2770 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2771 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2772 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2773 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2774 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2775 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2776 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2777 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2778 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2779 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2780 languages (still only have templates for English)
2781 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2782 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2783 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2784 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2785 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2786 needed for some sites)
2787 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2788 templates.
2789 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2790 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2791 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2792 specific printer.
2793 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2794 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2795 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2796 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2797 authentication.
2798 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2799 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2800 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2801 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2802 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2803 filter.
2804 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2805 US-ASCII.
2806 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2807 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2808 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2809 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2810 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2811 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2812 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2813 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2814 basis without environment variables.
2815 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2816
2817
2818CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2819
2820 - Documentation updates.
2821 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2822 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2823 printer.
2824 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2825 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2826 distribution.
2827 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2828 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2829 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2830 to match the IPP spec.
2831 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2832 (previously they would be ignored)
2833 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2834 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2835 machines.
2836 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2837 and printer.
2838 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2839 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2840 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2841 BrowseRelay directives.
2842 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2843 still receives information on remote printers.
2844 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2845 networks)
2846 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2847 of PPD files.
2848 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2849 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2850 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2851 close their input files.

2865 administration.
2866 - NEW USB backend.
2867 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.
