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