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

2298 output attributes to be set.
2299 - Added banner page support.
2300 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2301 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2302 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2303 timezone offset.
2304 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2305 file is generated).
2306 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2307 printers when they became available.
2308 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2309 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2310 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2311 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2312 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2313 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2314 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2315 (override with -f)
2316 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2317 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2318 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2319 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2320 folks.
2321 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2322 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2323 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2324 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2325 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2326 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2327 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2328 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2329 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2330 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2331 languages (still only have templates for English)
2332 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2333 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2334 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2335 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2336 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2337 needed for some sites)
2338 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2339 templates.
2340 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2341 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2342 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2343 specific printer.
2344 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2345 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2346 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2347 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2348 authentication.
2349 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2350 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2351 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2352 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2353 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2354 filter.
2355 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2356 US-ASCII.
2357 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2358 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2359 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2360 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2361 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2362 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2363 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2364 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2365 basis without environment variables.
2366 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2367
2368
2369CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2370
2371 - Documentation updates.
2372 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2373 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2374 printer.
2375 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2376 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2377 distribution.
2378 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2379 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2380 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2381 to match the IPP spec.
2382 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2383 (previously they would be ignored)
2384 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2385 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2386 machines.
2387 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2388 and printer.
2389 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2390 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2391 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2392 BrowseRelay directives.
2393 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2394 still receives information on remote printers.
2395 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2396 networks)
2397 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2398 of PPD files.
2399 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2400 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.

2423 was being used.
2424 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
