6e3d4276 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
5
22414cc4 6 - Added a partial translation of the web interface to
7 German.
96eae06b 8 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
9 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
10 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
11 the same.
12 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
13 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
14 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 15 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
16 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 17 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
18 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 19 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
20 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
21 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 22 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
23 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 24 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
25 an attribute definition.
de218675 26 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
27 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
28 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
29 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 30 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
31 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
32 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
33 situations. The warning message is now written no more
34 than once per minute.
67fa1315 35 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
36 PS RIPs.
320115a7 37 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
38 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
39 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 40 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
41 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
42 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
43 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
44 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
45 program or man page files.
46
47
759f5023 48CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
49
e38a7cef 50 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
51 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
52 write a job control file.
f63a430f 53 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
54 directive to control whether new printers can be added
55 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
56 default is to not allow printers with these device
57 URIs.
767ae392 58 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
59 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
60 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 61 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
62 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
63 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
64 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 65 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
66 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 67 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
68 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
69 attacks.
901b295d 70 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
71 interface.
72 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
73 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
74 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 75 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
76 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
77 the scheduler did not close the connections
78 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 79 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
80 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 81 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
82 back to its original at the end of a job; this
83 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
84 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 85 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
86 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 87 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
88 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
89 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
90 PPD files.
dcc2e394 91 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
92 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
93 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 94 - The web interface did not always report the correct
95 error message.
759f5023 96 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
97 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
98 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
99 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
100 process from returning.
101
102
3cc7bca4 103CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
104
5c826e17 105 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
106 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 107 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 108 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
109 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 110 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
111 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
112 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
113 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
114 ticket data.
115 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
116 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
117 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 118 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
119 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
120 group membership still requires the account name to be
121 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 122 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
123 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
124 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
125 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 126 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
127 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 128 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
129 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
130 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
131 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
132 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 133 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
134 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 135 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
136 caused by servers sending the status line and
137 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 138 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
139 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
140 empty.
78143282 141 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
142 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 143 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
144 Windows.
f33d1239 145 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
146 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 147 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
148 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
149 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 150 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
151 (interrupted system call) errors.
152 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
153 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
154 caused by the child signal handler.
155 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
156 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
157 error.
e1e31a38 158 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
159 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 160 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
161 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 162 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
163 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
164 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 165 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
166 properly localized time string.
549d1888 167 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
168 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
169 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 170 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
171 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 172 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
173 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
174 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
175 scheduler.
176 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
177 scheduler so that the printer object information is
178 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
179 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
180 queues.
854d3bb2 181 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
182 filename.
137d4d44 183 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
184 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
185 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
186 automatic form feed.
187 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 188 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
189 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 190 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
191 MacOS X.
192 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
193 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
194 has been removed.
195
196
06415a96 197CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
198
727e6d14 199 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
200 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
201 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
202 printer.
203 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
204 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 205 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
206 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
207 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 208 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
209 you can display completed jobs as well as
210 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 211 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
212 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
213 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 214 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
215 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
216 occurs.
db628f45 217 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
218 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 219 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
220 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
221 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
222 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
223 the page number.
da312e94 224 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
225 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 226 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 227 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
228 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
229 banner pages.
25037b2b 230 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
231 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
232 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 233 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 234 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
235 reliably.
a9219725 236 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
237 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
238 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
239 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 240 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
241 connection when sending an error that requires the
242 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
243 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
244 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 245 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
246 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
247 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
248 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 249 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
250 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
251 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
252 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 253 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
254 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 255 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
256 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 257 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
258 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 259 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
260 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 261 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
262 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
263 defines a circular filter rule.
264 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
265 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 266 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
267 files.
5ca43bfd 268 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
269 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 270 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
271 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
272 compatibility).
879062a9 273 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 274 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
275 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
276 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 277 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
278 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 279 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
280 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
281 shutdown.
098f80c5 282 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
283 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
284 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 285 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
286 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
287 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
288 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 289 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
290 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
291 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 292 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
293 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 294 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
295 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
296 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
297 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 298 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
299 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
300 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 301 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
302 connect to the remote server name in a
303 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
304 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
305 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
306 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 307 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
308 the program would try to print the option letter that
309 caused the error using the wrong index into the
310 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 311 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
312 attributes from printer options in
313 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 314 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
315 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 316 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 317 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
318 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 319 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
320 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
321 characters.
322 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
323 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
324 the language mode.
325 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
326 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
327 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
328 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
329 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 330 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 331 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
332 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 333 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
334 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 335 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
336 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
337 driver.
997cf8b0 338 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
339 the next available printer rather than waiting until
340 that printer is available.
341 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
342 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
343 printer class instead of a normal printer.
344 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
345 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
346 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 347 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
348 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
349 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
350 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 351 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
352 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
353 to accept connections.
354 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
355 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
356 and current directory.
357 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
358 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
359 into the file type database would no longer be valid
360 for existing jobs.
361 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
362 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
363 actually provided.
364 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 365 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
366 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 367 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
368 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 369 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
370 case-insensitive.
371 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
372 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 373 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
374 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
375 Solaris.
b91c8a76 376 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
377 printing banner pages.
4f759211 378 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 379 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
380 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 381 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
382 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 383 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
384 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
385 file.
8ce19460 386 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
387 description from member printers.
fabb006b 388 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
389 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 390 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 391 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
392 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 393 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
394 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 395 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
396 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
397 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 398 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
399 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
400 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
401 up...
19e7b382 402 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
403 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
404 authentication didn't work for administration
405 operations.
103abc03 406 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
407 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 408 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
409 interface to "localhost".
410 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
411 response to queue state commands, but those commands
412 only return textual data.
413
414
7680b71d 415CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
416
417 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
418 string function header, which is required on systems
419 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
420 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
421 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
422 have to.
423
424
74cfdb8b 425CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
426
dab1a4d8 427 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
428 license exception.
611e4623 429 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
430 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 431 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
432 option if none is provided to automatically select the
433 correct tray.
ed6078a4 434 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
435 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
436 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
437 options.
438 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
439 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
440 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 441 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
442 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
443 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
444 queues) on the server.
445 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
446 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
447 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
448 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 449 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
450 set definitions.
a319615f 451 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
452 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 453 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
454 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 455 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 456 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 457 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
458 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 459 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
460 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 461 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
462 have a small comment header explaining where the file
463 comes from...
6df23e27 464 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 465 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 466 number-up-layout options.
415199da 467 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
468 using the default printer.
469 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
470 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
471 to allow for longer printer names.
472 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
473 history data.
474 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
475 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
476 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
477 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 478 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
479 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
480 caused problems on some installations that would
481 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
482 level 3.
483 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 484 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
485 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 486 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
487 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 488 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
489 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 490 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 491 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
492 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
493 (cupsd).
a4e23897 494 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
495 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
496 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
497 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 498 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
499 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
500 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
501 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
502 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
503 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
504 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
505 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
506 non-ISOLatin1 text.
507 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
508 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
509 of glyphs.
576b82ca 510 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
511 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
512 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
513 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 514 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
515 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
516 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
517 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
518 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 519 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
520 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 521 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
522 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 523 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
524 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 525 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
526 classes.
7200e26c 527 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
528 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
529 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 530 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
531 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
532 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
533 control and browsing based on the current interface
534 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 535 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
536 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 537 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
538 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
539 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
540 group.
f4647930 541 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
542 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 543 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
544 detects that the printer is not connected to the
545 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
546 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
547 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
548 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 549 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
550 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 551 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
552 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 553 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
554 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 555 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
556 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 557 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
558 generated dependencies.
559 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 560 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
561 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
562 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 563 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
564 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
565 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 566 - The backends now read print data using the read()
567 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
568 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 569 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
570 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 571 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
572 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
573 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
574 printers and classes all at once.
575 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
576 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 577 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
578 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
579 value.
1c9c423b 580 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
581 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
582 other options as strings.
f918a565 583 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
584 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
585 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 586 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
587 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
588 option.
74cfdb8b 589 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
590 integers and ranges.
591 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
592 language support for CUPS.
593
594
ee8b7dd3 595CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
596
843779ef 597 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 598 attribute name length or string with language value
599 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 600 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
601 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
602 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 603 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 604 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
605 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 606 - MacOS X fixes.
607 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
608 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
609 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
610 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 611 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
612 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
613 it from waiting for the job to complete when
614 communicating with some IPP implementations that
615 require it.
616
617
d2503e02 618CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
619
28a96fe2 620 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
621 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 622 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
623 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
624 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 625 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
626 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
627 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
628 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
629 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 630 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
631 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
632 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
633 *.convs files.
db911fcb 634 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
635 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
636 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
637 goes away.
7c587866 638 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
639 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 640 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 641 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 642 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 643 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
644 portion of the printer name, and since it would
645 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
646 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 647 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
648 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 649 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
650 connections to improve performance/response time.
651 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
652 from Andrea Suatoni.
653 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
654 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
655 tools support.
656 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
657 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
658 existed.
659 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
660 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 661 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
662 page-set option.
873a6f43 663 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
664 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 665 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
666 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
667 etc.)
bd73c81f 668 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
669 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
670 listing for a printer.
671 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
672 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
673 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 674 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
675 values.
dd5f3453 676 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
677 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 678 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
679 - Updated the Italian message translations.
680 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
681 files.
682 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
683 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 684 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
685 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
686 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 687 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
688 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 689 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
690 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 691 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
692 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 693 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
694 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
695 classification level, if set. This way the original
696 banner settings are preserved when classification
697 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 698 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
699 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 700 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
701 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
702 system default group was not used.
703 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
704 send multiple control files.
705 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
706 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
707 for the "https" scheme.
708 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
709 from the web interface for accounts other than
710 "root".
711 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
712 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
713 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
714 address properly.
715 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
716 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
717 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
718 inside a Location, which is not valid.
719 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
720 information under Linux.
721 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
722 option (if present) in PPD files.
723 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
724 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
725 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
726 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
727 the lppasswd command.
728 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
729 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
730 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
731 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
732 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
733 directory and configuration files are owned by and
734 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
735 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
736 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
737 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
738 restarting cupsd.
739 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
740 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
741 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
742 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
743 for commands on the standard input.
744 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
745 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
746 pointer platforms...
747
748
749CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
750
751 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
752 files.
753 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
754 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
755 destination type for the new destination.
756 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
757 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
758 printer ACLs.
759 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
760 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
761 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
762 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
763 printer-make-and-model attribute.
764
765
766CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
767
768 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
769 files.
770 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
771 files.
772 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
773 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
774 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
775 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
776 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
777 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
778 the device list (lpinfo -m).
779 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
780 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
781 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
782 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
783 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
784 increment. [this caused some versions of the
785 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
786 options exceeded 100...]
787 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
788 was set to "No".
789 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
790 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
791 infinite loop when accepting a request.
792 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
793 functions to make IPP request/response processing
794 faster.
795 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
796 support properly support the "-h" or default
797 server name.
798 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
799 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
800 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
801 support printer instances.
802 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
803 underline formatting.
804 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
805 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
806 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
807 (-1).
808 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
809 from printing to printers in that class.
810 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
811 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
812 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
813 slower systems since more information had to be
814 transferred from server to client.
815 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
816 things like the job title. This had the potential for
817 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
818 machine); bug report from SuSE.
819 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
820 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
821 processing.
822 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
823 to stderr instead of stdout...
824 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
825 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
826 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
827 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
828 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
829 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
830 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
831 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
832 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
833 the Spanish banner files.
834 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
835 language abbreviation to use for all supported
836 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
837 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
838 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
839 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
840 anonymous printing (no username specified).
841 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
842 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
843 information when printing via LPD.
844 - Added many warning and informational messages
845 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
846 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
847 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
848 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
849 provided.
850 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
851 cupsd.conf.
852 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
853 32k.
854 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
855 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
856 possible.
857 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
858 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
859 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
860 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
861 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
862 long values.
863 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
864 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
865 to CGIs.
866 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
867 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
868 time.
869 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
870 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
871 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
872 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
873 result in a blank page being output...
874 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
875 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
876 page comments when printing files directly...)
877 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
878 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
879 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
880 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
881 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
882 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
883 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
884 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
885 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
886 original destination.
887 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
888 requested-attributes attribute in the
889 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
890 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
891 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
892 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
893 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
894 prints.
895
896
897CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
898
899 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
900 makefiles to install files properly.
901
902
903CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
904
905 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
906 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
907 to override the classification of individual jobs.
908 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
909 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
910 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
911 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
912 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
913 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
914 server.
915 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
916 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
917 with some types of flow control.
918 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
919 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
920 server.
921 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
922 lines in the configuration files.
923 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
924 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
925 from the server.
926 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
927 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
928 to the file: pseudo-backend.
929 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
930 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
931 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
932 script. Previously the job's document format was
933 used, which was incorrect.
934 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
935 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
936 "raw" model from the command-line.
937 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
938 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
939 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
940 printers.
941 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
942 Chinese text support compiled into it.
943 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
944 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
945 which caused some confusion... :)
946 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
947 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
948
949
950CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
951
952 - The configure script did not substitute the
953 correct user and group names.
954 - The configure script did not use the full path
955 to the install-sh script when it was used.
956 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
957 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
958 duplexing.
959 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
960 distribution.
961 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
962 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
963 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
964 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
965 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
966 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
967 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
968 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
969 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
970 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
971 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
972 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
973
974
975CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
976
977 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
978 approach for the various tests.
979 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
980 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
981 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
982 options to specify the default user and group for
983 CUPS.
984 - Added AIX shared library support.
985 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
986 parallel ports.
987 - Now use install program or script to install
988 directories, files, and symlinks.
989 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
990 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
991 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
992 print.
993 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
994 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
995 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
996 64-bit boundary.
997 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
998 skip the Digest keyword.
999 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1000 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1001 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1002 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1003 authentication from passwd.md5.
1004 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1005 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1006 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1007 PPD files should start much faster now.
1008 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1009 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1010 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1011 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1012 times.
1013 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1014 code if an error occurred.
1015 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1016 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1017 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1018 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1019 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1020 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1021 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1022 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1023 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1024 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1025 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1026 copies would come out instead of N.
1027 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1028 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1029 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1030 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1031 output an even number of pages.
1032 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1033 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1034 from being cancelled early.
1035 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1036 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1037 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1038 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1039 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1040 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1041 "ESC i" graphics command.
1042 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1043 printers to a local class.
1044 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1045 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1046 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1047 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1048 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1049 printers that were part of a class.
1050 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1051 printer more than once.
1052 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1053 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1054 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1055 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1056 account.
1057 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1058 against a location of "/printers/name".
1059 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1060 upgrades properly.
1061 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1062 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1063 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1064 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1065 when using Digest authentication.
1066 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1067 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1068 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1069 file.
1070 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1071 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1072 server.
1073 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1074 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1075 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1076 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1077 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1078 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1079 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1080 not the empty string.
1081 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1082 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1083 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1084 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1085 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1086 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1087 supported file types into the
1088 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1089 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1090 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1091 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1092 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1093 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1094 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1095 or behave irratically.
1096 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1097 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1098 specified.
1099 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1100 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1101 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1102 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1103 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1104 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1105 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1106 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1107 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1108 location or description of the printer.
1109 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1110 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1111 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1112 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1113 multiple groups.
1114 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1115 Apache.
1116 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1117 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1118 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1119 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1120 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1121 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1122 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1123 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1124 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1125 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1126 Ghostscript code.
1127 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1128 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1129 size instead of percent of page size.)
1130 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1131 instead of root.
1132 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1133 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1134 size options.
1135 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1136 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1137 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1138 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1139 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1140 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1141 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1142 character.
1143
1144
1145CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1146
1147 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1148 package for pstoraster.
1149 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1150 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1151 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1152 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1153 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1154 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1155 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1156 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1157 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1158 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1159 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1160 history disabled.
1161 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1162 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1163 connections initially.
1164 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1165 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1166 throughout.
1167 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1168 Richard Begg.)
1169 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1170 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1171 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1172 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1173 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1174 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1175 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1176 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1177 #54489...
1178 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1179 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1180 (only affects page-label and Classification
1181 options.)
1182 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1183 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1184
1185
1186CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1187
1188 - Configuration script changes, including new
1189 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1190 documentation and web content according to your
1191 favorite version of the FHS.
1192 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1193 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1194 test CUPS prior to installation.
1195 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1196 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1197 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1198 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1199 directives.
1200 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1201 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1202 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1203 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1204 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1205 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1206 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1207 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1208 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1209 formats are supported at present.)
1210 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1211 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1212 all browsing off.
1213 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1214 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1215 document.
1216 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1217 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1218 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1219 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1220 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1221 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1222 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1223 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1224 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1225 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1226 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1227 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1228 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1229 server.
1230 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1231 PJL commands from PPD files.
1232 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1233 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1234 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1235 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1236 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1237 the next/current job in the queue.
1238 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1239 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1240 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1241 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1242 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1243 for Sun Raster images.
1244 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1245 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1246 function.
1247 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1248 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1249 command when printing to USB devices.
1250 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1251 the cupsd.conf file.
1252 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1253 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1254 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1255 /dev/urandom.
1256 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1257 httpGetSubField().
1258 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1259 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1260 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1261 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1262 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1263 CGI was currently running.
1264 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1265 option=true or option=false.
1266 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1267 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1268 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1269 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1270 could cause it to crash.
1271 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1272 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1273 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1274 attribute when altering a job.
1275 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1276 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1277 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1278 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1279 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1280 addresses.
1281 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1282 the current classification on each page.
1283 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1284 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1285 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1286 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1287 encryption.
1288 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1289 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1290 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1291 support instances.
1292 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1293 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1294 and should never be used in a production environment.
1295 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1296 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1297 interface.
1298 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1299 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1300 prevent caching of the results.
1301 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1302 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1303 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1304 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1305 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1306 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1307 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1308 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1309 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1310 submitted by a user.
1311 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1312 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1313 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1314 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1315 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1316 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1317 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1318 embedded spaces.
1319 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1320 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1321 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1322 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1323 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1324 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1325 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1326 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1327 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1328 by the GIMP.
1329 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1330 bypassed the authentication checks.
1331 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1332 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1333 a race condition between the client and server for the
1334 upgrade to TLS.
1335 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1336 the pstops filter.
1337 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1338 the custom page size in the raster header.
1339 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1340 size to the size of the printed image.
1341 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1342 which are required by some printers.
1343 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1344 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1345 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1346 DSC).
1347 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1348 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1349 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1350 driver.
1351 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1352 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1353 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1354 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1355 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1356 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1357 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1358 address this problem.
1359 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1360 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1361 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1362 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1363 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1364 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1365 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1366 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1367 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1368 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1369 to manage print jobs.
1370 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1371 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1372 of 0 length.
1373 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1374 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1375 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1376
1377
1378CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1379
1380 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1381 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1382 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1383 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1384 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1385 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1386 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1387 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1388 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1389 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1390 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1391 /dev/ulptN.
1392 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1393 classes it was a member of.
1394 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1395 implicit status of a class.
1396 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1397 from implicit classes.
1398 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1399 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1400 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1401 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1402 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1403 of the scheduler.
1404 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1405 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1406 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1407 the /#copies variable anymore.
1408 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1409 option.
1410 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1411 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1412 for a bad-request error)
1413 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1414 unimplemented, not invalid.
1415 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1416 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1417 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1418 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1419 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1420 (pstoraster).
1421 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1422 which are not used.
1423 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1424 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1425 cgi_initialize_string().
1426 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1427 ippSetCGIVars()
1428 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1429 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1430 leaks.
1431 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1432 fails.
1433 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1434 setuid() calls.
1435 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1436 calls.
1437 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1438 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1439 bad input.
1440 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1441 missing hex digits.
1442
1443
1444CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1445
1446 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1447 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1448 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1449 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1450 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1451 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1452 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1453 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1454 corruption on many printers)
1455 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1456 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1457 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1458 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1459 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1460 requests.
1461 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1462 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1463 was lost.
1464 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1465 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1466 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1467 to be used for a socket.
1468 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1469 a set were numeric or string types.
1470 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1471 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1472 reading *.conf files.
1473 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1474 same logic as GET requests.
1475 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1476 /index.html to requested directory name.
1477 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1478 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1479 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1480 instead of mode 0600.
1481 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1482 instead of 0600.
1483 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1484 system name in log filenames.
1485 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1486 and hex strings.
1487
1488
1489CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1490
1491 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1492 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1493 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1494
1495
1496CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1497
1498 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1499 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1500 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1501 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1502 filter programs properly.
1503 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1504 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1505 versions of GCC.
1506 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1507 cancelled in StartJob().
1508 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1509 written with restricted permissions.
1510 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1511 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1512 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1513 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1514 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1515 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1516 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1517 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1518 syslog file.
1519 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1520 and only specifies the document format if it is
1521 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1522 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1523 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1524 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1525 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1526 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1527 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1528 cancelled.
1529 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1530 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1531 sporatic web interface problems.
1532 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1533 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1534 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1535 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1536 whitespace.
1537 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1538 instead of an integer.
1539 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1540 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1541 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1542 and user-level access control.
1543 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1544 encryption.
1545 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1546 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1547 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1548 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1549 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1550 to the man page.
1551 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1552 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1553 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1554 queued for a printer.
1555 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1556 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1557 reporting.
1558
1559
1560CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1561
1562 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1563 code.
1564 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1565 check in backend/serial.c.
1566 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1567 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1568 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1569 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1570 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1571 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1572 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1573 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1574 anyways)
1575
1576
1577CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1578
1579 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1580 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1581 for run level 5.
1582 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1583 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1584 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1585 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1586 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1587 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1588 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1589
1590
1591CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1592
1593 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1594 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1595 access from the local system.
1596 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1597 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1598 - Documentation updates.
1599 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1600 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1601 RedHat or Mandrake.
1602 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1603 warnings.
1604 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1605 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1606 hex)
1607 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1608 crash the server.
1609 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1610 correct value length for name-with-language and
1611 text-with-language attributes.
1612 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1613 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1614 efficient IPP server performance.
1615 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1616 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1617 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1618 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1619 attack.
1620 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1621 data required when getting the list of printer or
1622 class information. This should improve performance
1623 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1624 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1625 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1626 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1627 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1628 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1629 override the lpoptions default printer.
1630 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1631 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1632 attributes.
1633 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1634 did not check for the correct value for collated
1635 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1636 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1637 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1638 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1639 scale mode 2.
1640 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1641 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1642 that started with a number.
1643 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1644 multiple times in name-with-language and
1645 text-with-language attributes.
1646 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1647 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1648 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1649 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1650 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1651 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1652 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1653 close the spool directory.
1654 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1655 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1656 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1657 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1658 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1659 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1660 larger than the source string; this protects
1661 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1662 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1663 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1664 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1665 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1666 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1667 remote printers.
1668 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1669 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1670 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1671 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1672 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1673 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1674 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1675 3-argument contains() function.
1676 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1677 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1678 database containing 0 printers.
1679 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1680 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1681 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1682 printer was always busy.
1683 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1684 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1685 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1686 jobs.
1687 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1688 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1689 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1690 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1691 57600 and 115200 baud.
1692 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1693 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1694 option in the device URI.
1695 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1696 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1697 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1698 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1699 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1700 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1701 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1702 job attributes to be changed.
1703 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1704 web interface.
1705 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1706 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1707 since they do not map)
1708 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1709 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1710 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1711 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1712 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1713 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1714 child signals while loading devices.
1715 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1716 and classes.
1717 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1718 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1719 driver dithering code.
1720 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1721 after the first active printer.
1722 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1723 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1724 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1725 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1726 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1727 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1728 accepted null values.
1729 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1730 of the backends.
1731 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1732 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1733 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1734 is set in the plot file.
1735 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1736 user name, causing it to always fail.
1737 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1738 under Windows.
1739 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1740 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1741 didn't handle control file job information in any
1742 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1743 a file.
1744 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1745 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1746 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1747 printing on some systems.
1748 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1749 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1750 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1751 it.
1752
1753
1754CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1755
1756 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1757 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1758 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1759 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1760 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1761 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1762 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1763 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1764 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1765 order, which prevented remote printing.
1766 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1767 IPP requests and language information when closing
1768 a client connection.
1769 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1770 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1771 compatibles)
1772 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1773 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1774 on many OS's.
1775 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1776 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1777 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1778 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1779 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1780 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1781 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1782 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1783 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1784 PPD files.
1785 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1786 when the destination printer supported it. This
1787 caused problems when printing text files to other
1788 CUPS servers.
1789 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1790 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1791 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1792 the dates.)
1793 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1794 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1795 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1796 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1797 be clipped.
1798
1799
1800CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1801
1802 - Makefile fixes.
1803 - RPM spec file changes.
1804 - Documentation updates.
1805 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1806 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1807 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1808 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1809 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1810 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1811 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1812 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1813 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1814 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1815 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1816 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1817 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1818 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1819 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1820 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1821 specified.
1822 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1823 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1824 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1825 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1826 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1827 cupsd.conf.
1828 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1829 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1830 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1831 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1832 filter mode 'l'.
1833 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1834 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1835 defaults for all print queues.
1836 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1837 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1838 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1839 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1840 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1841 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1842 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1843 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1844 printer was defined with the same name.
1845 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1846 remove options for a printer or instance.
1847 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1848 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1849 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1850 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1851 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1852 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1853 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1854 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1855 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1856 job-printer-uri attribute.
1857 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1858 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1859 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1860 remote printers.
1861 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1862 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1863 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1864 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1865 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1866 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1867 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1868 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1869 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1870 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1871 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1872 printer set using lpoptions.
1873 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1874 list the printer-specific options and their current
1875 settings.
1876 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1877 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1878 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1879 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1880 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1881 text printing.
1882 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1883 instances.
1884 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1885 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1886 limit.
1887 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1888 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1889 new client connections.
1890 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1891 required pagedevice parameters.
1892 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1893 under Linux.
1894 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1895 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1896 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1897 would stop processing.
1898 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1899 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1900 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1901 that was currently printing a job.
1902 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1903 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1904 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1905 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1906 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1907 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1908 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1909 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1910 option values separated by commas.
1911 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1912 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1913 and free bytes once a minute)
1914 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1915 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1916 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1917 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1918 printers.
1919 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1920 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1921 requests from that address to the server name.
1922 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1923 server.domain.com to localhost.
1924 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1925 the previous device and driver settings (except
1926 for serial ports.)
1927 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1928 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1929 after a job is completed when job file history is
1930 turned off.
1931 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1932 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1933 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1934 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1935 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1936 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1937 for "lpstat -v" output.
1938 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1939 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1940 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1941 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1942 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1943 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1944 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1945 by itself without quoting.
1946
1947
1948CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1949
1950 - Makefile/configure fixes
1951 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1952 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1953 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1954 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1955 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1956 number generator for certificates.
1957 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1958 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1959 the filter user, typically "lp".
1960 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1961 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1962 user.
1963 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1964 function.
1965 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1966 standard input.
1967 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1968 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1969 page header as needed.
1970 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1971 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1972 immediately when last-document was true.
1973 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1974 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1975 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1976 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1977 and many PS printers.
1978 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1979 filters.
1980 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1981 debugging problems.
1982 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1983 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1984 calling problem...)
1985 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1986 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1987 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1988 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1989 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1990 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1991 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1992 by default.
1993 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1994 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1995 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1996 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1997 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1998 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1999 CUPS software.

2007 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2008 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2009 network devices.
2010 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the

2024 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2025 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2026 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2027 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2028 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2029 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2030 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2031 documents if they don't have it.

2033 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2034 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2035 --prefix was specified.

2039 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2040 color mode until it can be fixed.
2041 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2042 correctly in all cases.
2043 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and

2046
2047CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2048
2049 - Documentation updates.
2050 - Configuration script updates.
2051 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2052 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2053 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2054 ppd_file_t structure.
2055 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2056 before it was used.
2057 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2058 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2059 the localhost address.
2060 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2061 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2062 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2063 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2064 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2065 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2066 PDF support.
2067 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2068 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2069 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2070 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2071 pstoraster.
2072 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2073 the user.
2074 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2075 not running.
2076 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2077 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2078 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2079 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2080 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the

2085 "position" option.
2086 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2087 support "%s" to insert the server name.

2089 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2090 "printer@server") when possible.
2091 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2092 with no PageSize attributes.
2093 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2094 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2095 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2096 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2097 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2098 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2099 cupsd.
2100 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2101 locations.
2102 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2103 variables to specify installation directories as

2107 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2108 printer.
2109 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2110 printer are automatically deleted.
2111 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2112 time-at-completed attributes in job.

2114 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2115 request.
2116 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2117 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2118 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2119 is "no-hold".
2120 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2121 responses.
2122 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2123 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2124 printer.
2125 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2126 request fails.
2127 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2128 printer and class names.
2129 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2130 received in a POST request.
2131
2132
2133CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2134
2135 - Documentation updates.
2136 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2137 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2138 method.
2139 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2140 (not defined in HTTP specification)

2142 - Missing the job-restart template.
2143 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2144 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2145 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2146 not specified.
2147 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2148 from getting through.
2149 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2150 stderr.
2151 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2152 job name and display string, if supported.
2153 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2154 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2155 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2156 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2157 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2158 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2159 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2160 UTF-8...
2161 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2162 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2163 could cause cupsd to crash.
2164 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2165 crash.
2166 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2167 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2168 "HH:MM:SS".
2169 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2170 connection structure.
2171 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2172 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2173 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2174 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2175 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2176 is a potential security hole.
2177 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2178 new pstoraster.
2179 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2180 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2181 (/dev/usblp#)
2182 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2183 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2184 release.
2185
2186
2187CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2188
2189 - Documentation updates.
2190 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2191 now compile better under *BSD.)
2192 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2193 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2194 tray was selected.
2195 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2196 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2197 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2198 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2199 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2200 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2201 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2202 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2203 can handle.
2204 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2205 cause cupsd to crash.
2206 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2207 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2208 mime.types file.
2209 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2210 of file to be used as a banner.
2211 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2212 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2213 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2214 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2215 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2216 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2217 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2218 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2219 the IANA registrations.
2220 - New PostScript banner pages.
2221 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2222 filter.
2223 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2224 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2225 code.
2226 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2227 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2228 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2229 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2230 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2231 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2232 accurate width specification.
2233 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2234 files.
2235 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2236 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2237 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2238 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2239 that support it.
2240 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2241 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2242 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2243 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2244 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2245 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2246 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2247 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2248 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2249 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2250
2251
2252CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2253
2254 - Documentation updates.
2255 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2256 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2257 shell and Bash.
2258 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2259 code.
2260 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2261 manufacturer in the PPD.

2263 output attributes to be set.
2264 - Added banner page support.
2265 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2266 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2267 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2268 timezone offset.
2269 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2270 file is generated).
2271 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2272 printers when they became available.
2273 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2274 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2275 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2276 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2277 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2278 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2279 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2280 (override with -f)
2281 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2282 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2283 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2284 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2285 folks.
2286 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2287 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2288 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2289 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2290 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2291 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2292 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2293 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2294 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2295 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2296 languages (still only have templates for English)
2297 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2298 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2299 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2300 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2301 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2302 needed for some sites)
2303 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2304 templates.
2305 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2306 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2307 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2308 specific printer.
2309 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2310 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2311 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2312 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2313 authentication.
2314 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2315 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2316 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2317 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2318 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2319 filter.
2320 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2321 US-ASCII.
2322 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2323 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2324 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2325 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2326 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2327 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2328 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2329 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2330 basis without environment variables.
2331 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2332
2333
2334CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2335
2336 - Documentation updates.
2337 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2338 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2339 printer.
2340 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2341 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2342 distribution.
2343 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2344 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2345 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2346 to match the IPP spec.
2347 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2348 (previously they would be ignored)
2349 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2350 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2351 machines.
2352 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2353 and printer.
2354 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2355 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2356 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2357 BrowseRelay directives.
2358 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2359 still receives information on remote printers.
2360 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2361 networks)
2362 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2363 of PPD files.
2364 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2365 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.

2388 was being used.
2389 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
