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

1842 output attributes to be set.
1843 - Added banner page support.
1844 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1845 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1846 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1847 timezone offset.
1848 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1849 file is generated).
1850 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1851 printers when they became available.
1852 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1853 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1854 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1855 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1856 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1857 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1858 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1859 (override with -f)
1860 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1861 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1862 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1863 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1864 folks.
1865 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1866 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1867 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1868 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1869 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1870 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1871 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1872 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1873 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1874 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1875 languages (still only have templates for English)
1876 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1877 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1878 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1879 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1880 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1881 needed for some sites)
1882 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1883 templates.
1884 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1885 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1886 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1887 specific printer.
1888 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1889 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1890 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1891 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1892 authentication.
1893 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1894 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1895 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1896 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1897 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1898 filter.
1899 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1900 US-ASCII.
1901 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1902 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1903 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1904 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1905 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1906 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1907 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1908 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1909 basis without environment variables.
1910 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1911
1912
1913CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1914
1915 - Documentation updates.
1916 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1917 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1918 printer.
1919 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1920 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1921 distribution.
1922 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1923 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1924 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1925 to match the IPP spec.
1926 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1927 (previously they would be ignored)
1928 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1929 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1930 machines.
1931 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1932 and printer.
1933 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1934 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1935 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1936 BrowseRelay directives.
1937 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1938 still receives information on remote printers.
1939 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1940 networks)
1941 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1942 of PPD files.
1943 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1944 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1945 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not

1967 was being used.
1968 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
