150 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
9b6deb15 151 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname

167 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
168 size (STR #454)
169 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the

201 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
202 copies (STR #389)
203 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
204 #430)

209 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
4f6178db 210 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and

221 character, which is not required by the Base64
222 encoding specification (STR #407)

227 to be consistent with the way other signals are
228 handled (STR #423)

0ab349a5 243
a4bcc023 244 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
245 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
d68320d4 246 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
247 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
248 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
249 the error_log file (STR #337)
250 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
251 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
252 defined PageSize (STR #365)

266 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
d16f87bc 267 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
268 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
269 #354)

288 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
294c916e 289
290
0669cbc7 291CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
292
293 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
294 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
295 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
296 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
297 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
298 names, which caused some problems with the generated
299 URLs (STR #320)
300 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
301 option (STR #331)
302

316 #292)
317
318
4731c02f 319CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 320
6d8c10c5 321 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
322 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
323 printers that returned status info but were not ready
324 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 325 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
326 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
327 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
328 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 329 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
330 #289)
4731c02f 331 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 332 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X

aa7b8dba 335 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
336 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
337 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
338 very difficult (STR #277)
339 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
340 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
341 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 342 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,

348 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
349 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
350 language localization for a request; this caused extra
351 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
352 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
353 one language specified (STR #267)
354
355
3fc87a99 356CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
357
a782f61f 358 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
359 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
360 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 361 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
362 is 64 bits (STR #262)

364 Hat (STR #253)
365 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
366 the standard constants when reporting printer status
367 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 368 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
369 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
370 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 371 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
372 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
373 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
374 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
375 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
376 URI (STR #247)
377 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
378 (STR #249)
379 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
380 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 381 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
382 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 383 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
384 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 385 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
386 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 387 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
388 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
389 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 390 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
391 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 392 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
393 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file

396 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 397 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
398 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
399 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 400 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
401 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
402 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
403 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 404 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
405 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
406 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
407 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
408 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 409 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
410 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 411 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
412 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
413 (STR #209)
0c676a75 414 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
415 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 416 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
417 the user already had specified the proper orientation
418 (STR #207)
e5734f04 419 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 420 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
421 #193)
0372885f 422 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
423 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
424 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 425 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
426 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
427 programs rather than the port that the browser
428 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 429 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
430 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
431 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
432 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
433 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
434 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
435 files define the job-priority and
436 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 437 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
438 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 439 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
440 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
441 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
442 caused problems with some implementations of the
443 standard C library. (STR #159)
444 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
445 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 446 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
447 2.02pl1 (STR #191)

449 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
450 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
451 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 452 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
453 strings if the description string is not available
454 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 455 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
456 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
457 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
458 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
459 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 460 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
461 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
462 #147)

474 files did not get installed (STR #148)
475 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
476 without shared libraries (STR #149)
477 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
478 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 479 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
480 capability bit (STR #144)
481 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
482 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 483 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
484 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
485 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 486 #139)
487 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
488 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 489 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
490 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 491 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
492 command after the PJL language escape to work around
493 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
494 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
495 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 496 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 497 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)

a17e6548 502 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
503 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
504 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 505 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
506 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
507 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
508 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 509 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
510 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 511 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
512 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
513 #117)
514 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 515 - The configure script didn't specify the static
516 libraries properly when configuring with the
517 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 518 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
519 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)

7f797921 527
1ed20df6 528 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
529 classes would get double banner pages for each
530 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 531 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
532 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 533 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
534 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
535 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 536 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
537 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
538 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
539 #70)
92498b68 540 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
541 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 542 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 543 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
544 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
545 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 546 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
547 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
548 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
549 annoying error message (STR #45)

2e6bce36 561 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
562 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 563 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
564 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
565 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
566
567
e309e07a 568CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
569
b07e0cc2 570 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
571 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
572 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
573 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
574 user - STR #48)
b01791df 575 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
576 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 577 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
578 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 579 - The scheduler would delete all printers from

582 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
583 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
584 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 585 - The scheduler did not put the
586 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
587 attributes group.
588 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
589 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 590 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 591 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
592 and #39)
254aa207 593 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
594 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
595 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
596 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
597 requirements (STR #33)
598 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
599 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
600 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
601 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 602 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
603 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
604 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
605 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 606 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
607 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
608 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 609 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 610 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 611 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
612 Jacke)
613 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
614 Bjoern Jacke)

616
b696f4e3 617CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
618
ac098b06 619 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
620 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
621 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
622 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
623 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 624 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
625 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 626 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 627 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
628 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
629 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 630 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
631 not work.
c8a55d2c 632 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
633 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
634 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
635 was not added to the collection value.
636 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
637 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 638 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
639 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
640 directives.
641 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
642 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
643 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 644 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
645 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 646 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
647 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
648 #13)
b696f4e3 649 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
650 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
651 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 652 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 653 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
654 message files such as those used for the job history
655 in /var/spool/cups.
656
657
fc7f6f69 658CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 659
265fb4a4 660 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
661 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 662 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
663 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
664 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
665 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
666 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
667 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 668 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 669 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
670 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 671 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
672 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
673 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 674 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
675 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 676 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
677 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
678 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
679 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 680 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
681 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
682 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
683 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
684 your locale.
5073e3f8 685 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
686 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
687 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 688 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
689 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 690 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
691 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
692 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
693 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
694 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 695 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
696 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 697 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
698 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
699 respectively) and has some additional changes to
700 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
701 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 702 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 703 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
704 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 705 - Added support for STATE: messages
706 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
707 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 708 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
709 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
710 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
711 root.
4d4fb342 712 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
713 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 714 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 715 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
716 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
717 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
718 information.
d40085f1 719 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
720 field.
dd9e85de 721 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
722 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
723 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
724 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
725 attribute to control whether job history data is
726 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
727 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
728 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 729 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
730 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 731 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
732 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
733 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 734 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
735 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
736 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
737 Kubla]
3f2fa036 738 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
739 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
740 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
741 sent. It now only references attributes that change
742 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
743 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
744 2k.
745 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
746 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
747 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 748 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
749 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 750 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
751 printer was available.
752 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
753 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
754 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 755 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
756 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 757 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
758 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
759 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 760 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
761 the image on the page when printing in landscape
762 orientation.
b3291c5a 763 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
764 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
765 and ManualFeed commands.
766 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
767 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 768 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
769 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
770 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
771 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
772 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 773 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
774 list of available devices, when it should have been
775 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 776 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
777 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 778 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
779 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 780 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
781 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
782 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
783 up...
2e32fcdb 784 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
785 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
786 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
787 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 788 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
789 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
790 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
791 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 792 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
793 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 794 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
795 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
796 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 797 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
798 variable under MacOS X.
799 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
800 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 801 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
802 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 803 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
804 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
805 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 806 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
807 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 808 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
809 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
810 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 811 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 812 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
813 sequence.
49d1718a 814 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
815 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 816 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 817 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
818 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 819 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
820 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 821 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
822 Apple.
8bd0441f 823 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
824 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 825 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
826 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
827 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
828 option.
829 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
830 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 831 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
832 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
833 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 834 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
835 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
836 via IPP.
edd85093 837 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
838 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 839 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
840 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 841 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
842 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
843 means that printers that don't report their serial
844 numbers in the device ID string will not be
845 individually selectable.
d0598693 846 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
847 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 848 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 849 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
850 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
851 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
852 the same.
853 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
854 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
855 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 856 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
857 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 858 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
859 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 860 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
861 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
862 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 863 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
864 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 865 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
866 an attribute definition.
de218675 867 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
868 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
869 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
870 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 871 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
872 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
873 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
874 situations. The warning message is now written no more
875 than once per minute.
67fa1315 876 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
877 PS RIPs.
320115a7 878 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
879 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
880 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 881 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
882 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
883 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
884 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
885 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
886 program or man page files.

e38a7cef 891 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
892 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
893 write a job control file.
f63a430f 894 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
895 directive to control whether new printers can be added
896 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
897 default is to not allow printers with these device
898 URIs.
767ae392 899 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
900 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
901 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 902 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
903 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
904 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
905 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 906 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
907 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 908 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
909 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
910 attacks.
901b295d 911 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
912 interface.
913 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
914 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
915 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 916 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
917 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
918 the scheduler did not close the connections
919 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 920 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
921 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 922 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
923 back to its original at the end of a job; this
924 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
925 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 926 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
927 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 928 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
929 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
930 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
931 PPD files.
dcc2e394 932 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
933 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
934 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 935 - The web interface did not always report the correct
936 error message.
759f5023 937 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
938 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
939 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
940 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
941 process from returning.
942
943
3cc7bca4 944CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
945
5c826e17 946 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
947 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 948 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 949 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
950 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 951 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
952 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
953 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
954 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
955 ticket data.
956 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
957 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
958 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 959 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
960 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
961 group membership still requires the account name to be
962 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 963 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
964 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
965 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
966 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 967 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
968 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 969 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
970 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
971 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
972 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
973 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 974 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
975 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 976 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
977 caused by servers sending the status line and
978 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 979 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
980 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
981 empty.
78143282 982 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
983 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 984 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
985 Windows.
f33d1239 986 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
987 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 988 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
989 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
990 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 991 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
992 (interrupted system call) errors.
993 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
994 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
995 caused by the child signal handler.
996 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
997 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
998 error.
e1e31a38 999 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1000 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 1001 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1002 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 1003 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1004 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1005 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 1006 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1007 properly localized time string.
549d1888 1008 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1009 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1010 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 1011 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1012 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 1013 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1014 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1015 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1016 scheduler.
1017 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1018 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1019 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1020 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1021 queues.
854d3bb2 1022 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1023 filename.
137d4d44 1024 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1025 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1026 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1027 automatic form feed.
1028 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 1029 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1030 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 1031 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1032 MacOS X.
1033 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1034 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1035 has been removed.
1036
1037
06415a96 1038CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1039
727e6d14 1040 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1041 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1042 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1043 printer.
1044 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1045 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 1046 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1047 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1048 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 1049 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1050 you can display completed jobs as well as
1051 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 1052 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1053 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1054 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 1055 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1056 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1057 occurs.
db628f45 1058 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1059 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 1060 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1061 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1062 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1063 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1064 the page number.
da312e94 1065 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1066 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 1067 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 1068 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1069 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1070 banner pages.
25037b2b 1071 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1072 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1073 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 1074 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 1075 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1076 reliably.
a9219725 1077 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1078 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1079 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1080 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 1081 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1082 connection when sending an error that requires the
1083 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1084 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1085 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 1086 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1087 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1088 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1089 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 1090 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1091 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1092 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1093 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 1094 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1095 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 1096 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1097 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 1098 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1099 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 1100 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1101 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 1102 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1103 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1104 defines a circular filter rule.
1105 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1106 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 1107 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1108 files.
5ca43bfd 1109 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1110 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 1111 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1112 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1113 compatibility).
879062a9 1114 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 1115 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1116 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1117 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 1118 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1119 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 1120 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1121 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1122 shutdown.
098f80c5 1123 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1124 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1125 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 1126 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1127 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1128 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1129 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 1130 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1131 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1132 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 1133 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1134 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 1135 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1136 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1137 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1138 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 1139 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1140 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1141 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 1142 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1143 connect to the remote server name in a
1144 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1145 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1146 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1147 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 1148 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1149 the program would try to print the option letter that
1150 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1151 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 1152 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1153 attributes from printer options in
1154 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 1155 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1156 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 1157 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 1158 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1159 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 1160 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1161 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1162 characters.
1163 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1164 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1165 the language mode.
1166 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1167 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1168 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1169 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1170 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 1171 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 1172 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1173 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 1174 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1175 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 1176 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1177 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1178 driver.
997cf8b0 1179 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1180 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1181 that printer is available.
1182 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1183 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1184 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1185 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1186 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1187 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 1188 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1189 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1190 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1191 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 1192 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1193 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1194 to accept connections.
1195 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1196 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1197 and current directory.
1198 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1199 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1200 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1201 for existing jobs.
1202 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1203 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1204 actually provided.
1205 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 1206 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1207 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 1208 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1209 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 1210 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1211 case-insensitive.
1212 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1213 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 1214 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1215 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1216 Solaris.
b91c8a76 1217 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1218 printing banner pages.
4f759211 1219 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 1220 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1221 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 1222 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1223 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 1224 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1225 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1226 file.
8ce19460 1227 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1228 description from member printers.
fabb006b 1229 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1230 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 1231 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 1232 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1233 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 1234 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1235 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 1236 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1237 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1238 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 1239 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1240 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1241 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1242 up...
19e7b382 1243 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1244 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1245 authentication didn't work for administration
1246 operations.
103abc03 1247 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1248 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 1249 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1250 interface to "localhost".
1251 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1252 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1253 only return textual data.
1254
1255
7680b71d 1256CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1257
1258 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1259 string function header, which is required on systems
1260 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1261 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1262 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1263 have to.
1264
1265
74cfdb8b 1266CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1267
dab1a4d8 1268 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1269 license exception.
611e4623 1270 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1271 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1272 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1273 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1274 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1275 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1276 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1277 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1278 options.
1279 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1280 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1281 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1282 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1283 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1284 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1285 queues) on the server.
1286 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1287 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1288 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1289 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1290 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1291 set definitions.
a319615f 1292 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1293 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1294 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1295 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1296 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1297 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1298 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1299 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1300 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1301 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1302 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1303 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1304 comes from...
6df23e27 1305 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1306 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1307 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1308 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1309 using the default printer.
1310 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1311 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1312 to allow for longer printer names.
1313 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1314 history data.
1315 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1316 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1317 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1318 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1319 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1320 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1321 caused problems on some installations that would
1322 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1323 level 3.
1324 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1325 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1326 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1327 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1328 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1329 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1330 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1331 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1332 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1333 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1334 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1335 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1336 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1337 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1338 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1339 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1340 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1341 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1342 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1343 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1344 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1345 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1346 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1347 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1348 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1349 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1350 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1351 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1352 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1353 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1354 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1355 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1356 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1357 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1358 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1359 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1360 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1361 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1362 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1363 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1364 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1365 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1366 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1367 classes.
7200e26c 1368 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1369 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1370 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1371 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1372 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1373 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1374 control and browsing based on the current interface
1375 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1376 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1377 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1378 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1379 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1380 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1381 group.
f4647930 1382 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1383 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1384 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1385 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1386 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1387 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1388 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1389 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1390 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1391 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1392 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1393 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1394 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1395 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1396 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1397 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1398 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1399 generated dependencies.
1400 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1401 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1402 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1403 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1404 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1405 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1406 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1407 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1408 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1409 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1410 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1411 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1412 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1413 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1414 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1415 printers and classes all at once.
1416 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1417 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1418 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1419 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1420 value.
1c9c423b 1421 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1422 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1423 other options as strings.
f918a565 1424 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1425 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1426 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1427 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1428 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1429 option.
74cfdb8b 1430 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1431 integers and ranges.
1432 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1433 language support for CUPS.
1434
1435
ee8b7dd3 1436CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1437
843779ef 1438 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1439 attribute name length or string with language value
1440 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1441 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1442 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1443 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1444 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1445 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1446 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1447 - MacOS X fixes.
1448 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1449 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1450 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1451 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1452 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1453 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1454 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1455 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1456 require it.
1457
1458
d2503e02 1459CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1460
28a96fe2 1461 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1462 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1463 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1464 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1465 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1466 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1467 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1468 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1469 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1470 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1471 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1472 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1473 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1474 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1475 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1476 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1477 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1478 goes away.
7c587866 1479 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1480 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1481 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1482 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1483 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1484 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1485 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1486 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1487 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1488 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1489 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1490 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1491 connections to improve performance/response time.
1492 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1493 from Andrea Suatoni.
1494 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1495 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1496 tools support.
1497 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1498 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1499 existed.
1500 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1501 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1502 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1503 page-set option.
873a6f43 1504 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1505 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1506 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1507 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1508 etc.)
bd73c81f 1509 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1510 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1511 listing for a printer.
1512 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1513 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1514 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1515 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1516 values.
dd5f3453 1517 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1518 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1519 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1520 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1521 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1522 files.
1523 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1524 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1525 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1526 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1527 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1528 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1529 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1530 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1531 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1532 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1533 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1534 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1535 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1536 classification level, if set. This way the original
1537 banner settings are preserved when classification
1538 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1539 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1540 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1541 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1542 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1543 system default group was not used.
1544 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1545 send multiple control files.
1546 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1547 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1548 for the "https" scheme.
1549 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1550 from the web interface for accounts other than
1551 "root".
1552 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1553 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1554 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1555 address properly.
1556 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1557 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1558 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1559 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1560 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1561 information under Linux.
1562 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1563 option (if present) in PPD files.
1564 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1565 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1566 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1567 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1568 the lppasswd command.
1569 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1570 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1571 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1572 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1573 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1574 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1575 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1576 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1577 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1578 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1579 restarting cupsd.
1580 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1581 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1582 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1583 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1584 for commands on the standard input.
1585 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1586 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1587 pointer platforms...
1588
1589
1590CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1591
1592 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1593 files.
1594 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1595 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1596 destination type for the new destination.
1597 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1598 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1599 printer ACLs.
1600 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1601 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1602 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1603 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1604 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1605
1606
1607CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1608
1609 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1610 files.
1611 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1612 files.
1613 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1614 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1615 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1616 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1617 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1618 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1619 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1620 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1621 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1622 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1623 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1624 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1625 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1626 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1627 options exceeded 100...]
1628 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1629 was set to "No".
1630 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1631 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1632 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1633 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1634 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1635 faster.
1636 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1637 support properly support the "-h" or default
1638 server name.
1639 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1640 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1641 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1642 support printer instances.
1643 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1644 underline formatting.
1645 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1646 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1647 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1648 (-1).
1649 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1650 from printing to printers in that class.
1651 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1652 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1653 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1654 slower systems since more information had to be
1655 transferred from server to client.
1656 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1657 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1658 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1659 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1660 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1661 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1662 processing.
1663 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1664 to stderr instead of stdout...
1665 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1666 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1667 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1668 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1669 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1670 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1671 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1672 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1673 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1674 the Spanish banner files.
1675 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1676 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1677 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1678 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1679 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1680 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1681 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1682 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1683 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1684 information when printing via LPD.
1685 - Added many warning and informational messages
1686 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1687 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1688 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1689 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1690 provided.
1691 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1692 cupsd.conf.
1693 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1694 32k.
1695 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1696 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1697 possible.
1698 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1699 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1700 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1701 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1702 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1703 long values.
1704 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1705 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1706 to CGIs.
1707 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1708 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1709 time.
1710 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1711 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1712 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1713 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1714 result in a blank page being output...
1715 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1716 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1717 page comments when printing files directly...)
1718 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1719 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1720 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1721 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1722 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1723 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1724 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1725 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1726 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1727 original destination.
1728 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1729 requested-attributes attribute in the
1730 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1731 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1732 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1733 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1734 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1735 prints.
1736
1737
1738CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1739
1740 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1741 makefiles to install files properly.
1742
1743
1744CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1745
1746 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1747 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1748 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1749 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1750 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1751 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1752 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1753 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1754 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1755 server.
1756 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1757 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1758 with some types of flow control.
1759 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1760 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1761 server.
1762 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1763 lines in the configuration files.
1764 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1765 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1766 from the server.
1767 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1768 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1769 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1770 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1771 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1772 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1773 script. Previously the job's document format was
1774 used, which was incorrect.
1775 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1776 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1777 "raw" model from the command-line.
1778 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1779 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1780 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1781 printers.
1782 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1783 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1784 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1785 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1786 which caused some confusion... :)
1787 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1788 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1789
1790
1791CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1792
1793 - The configure script did not substitute the
1794 correct user and group names.
1795 - The configure script did not use the full path
1796 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1797 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1798 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1799 duplexing.
1800 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1801 distribution.
1802 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1803 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1804 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1805 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1806 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1807 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1808 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1809 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1810 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1811 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1812 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1813 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1814
1815
1816CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1817
1818 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1819 approach for the various tests.
1820 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1821 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1822 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1823 options to specify the default user and group for
1824 CUPS.
1825 - Added AIX shared library support.
1826 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1827 parallel ports.
1828 - Now use install program or script to install
1829 directories, files, and symlinks.
1830 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1831 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1832 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1833 print.
1834 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1835 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1836 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1837 64-bit boundary.
1838 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1839 skip the Digest keyword.
1840 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1841 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1842 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1843 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1844 authentication from passwd.md5.
1845 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1846 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1847 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1848 PPD files should start much faster now.
1849 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1850 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1851 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1852 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1853 times.
1854 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1855 code if an error occurred.
1856 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1857 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1858 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1859 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1860 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1861 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1862 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1863 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1864 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1865 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1866 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1867 copies would come out instead of N.
1868 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1869 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1870 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1871 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1872 output an even number of pages.
1873 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1874 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1875 from being cancelled early.
1876 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1877 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1878 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1879 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1880 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1881 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1882 "ESC i" graphics command.
1883 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1884 printers to a local class.
1885 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1886 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1887 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1888 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1889 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1890 printers that were part of a class.
1891 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1892 printer more than once.
1893 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1894 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1895 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1896 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1897 account.
1898 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1899 against a location of "/printers/name".
1900 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1901 upgrades properly.
1902 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1903 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1904 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1905 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1906 when using Digest authentication.
1907 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1908 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1909 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1910 file.
1911 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1912 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1913 server.
1914 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1915 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1916 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1917 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1918 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1919 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1920 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1921 not the empty string.
1922 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1923 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1924 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1925 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1926 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1927 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1928 supported file types into the
1929 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1930 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1931 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1932 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1933 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1934 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1935 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1936 or behave irratically.
1937 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1938 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1939 specified.
1940 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1941 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1942 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1943 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1944 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1945 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1946 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1947 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1948 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1949 location or description of the printer.
1950 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1951 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1952 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1953 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1954 multiple groups.
1955 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1956 Apache.
1957 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1958 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1959 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1960 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1961 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1962 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1963 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1964 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1965 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1966 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1967 Ghostscript code.
1968 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1969 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1970 size instead of percent of page size.)
1971 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1972 instead of root.
1973 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1974 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1975 size options.
1976 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1977 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1978 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1979 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1980 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1981 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1982 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1983 character.
1984
1985
1986CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1987
1988 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1989 package for pstoraster.
1990 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1991 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1992 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1993 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1994 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1995 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1996 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1997 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1998 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1999 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2000 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2001 history disabled.
2002 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2003 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2004 connections initially.
2005 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2006 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2007 throughout.
2008 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2009 Richard Begg.)
2010 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2011 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2012 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2013 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2014 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2015 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2016 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2017 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2018 #54489...
2019 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2020 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2021 (only affects page-label and Classification
2022 options.)
2023 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2024 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2025
2026
2027CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2028
2029 - Configuration script changes, including new
2030 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2031 documentation and web content according to your
2032 favorite version of the FHS.
2033 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2034 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2035 test CUPS prior to installation.
2036 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2037 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 2038 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2039 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 2040 directives.
2041 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2042 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2043 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2044 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2045 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2046 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2047 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2048 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2049 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2050 formats are supported at present.)
2051 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2052 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2053 all browsing off.
2054 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2055 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2056 document.
2057 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2058 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2059 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2060 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2061 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2062 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2063 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2064 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2065 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2066 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2067 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2068 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2069 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2070 server.
2071 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2072 PJL commands from PPD files.
2073 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2074 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2075 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2076 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2077 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2078 the next/current job in the queue.
2079 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2080 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2081 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2082 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2083 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2084 for Sun Raster images.
2085 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2086 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2087 function.
2088 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2089 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2090 command when printing to USB devices.
2091 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2092 the cupsd.conf file.
2093 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2094 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2095 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2096 /dev/urandom.
2097 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2098 httpGetSubField().
2099 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2100 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2101 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2102 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2103 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2104 CGI was currently running.
2105 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2106 option=true or option=false.
2107 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2108 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2109 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2110 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2111 could cause it to crash.
2112 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2113 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2114 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2115 attribute when altering a job.
2116 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2117 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2118 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2119 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2120 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2121 addresses.
2122 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2123 the current classification on each page.
2124 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2125 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2126 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2127 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2128 encryption.
2129 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2130 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2131 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2132 support instances.
2133 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2134 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2135 and should never be used in a production environment.
2136 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2137 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2138 interface.
2139 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2140 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2141 prevent caching of the results.
2142 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2143 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2144 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2145 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2146 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2147 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2148 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2149 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2150 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2151 submitted by a user.
2152 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2153 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2154 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2155 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2156 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2157 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2158 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2159 embedded spaces.
2160 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2161 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2162 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2163 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2164 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2165 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2166 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2167 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2168 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2169 by the GIMP.
2170 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2171 bypassed the authentication checks.
2172 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2173 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2174 a race condition between the client and server for the
2175 upgrade to TLS.
2176 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2177 the pstops filter.
2178 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2179 the custom page size in the raster header.
2180 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2181 size to the size of the printed image.
2182 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2183 which are required by some printers.
2184 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2185 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2186 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2187 DSC).
2188 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2189 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2190 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2191 driver.
2192 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2193 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2194 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2195 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2196 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2197 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2198 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2199 address this problem.
2200 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2201 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2202 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2203 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2204 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2205 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2206 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2207 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2208 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2209 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2210 to manage print jobs.
2211 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2212 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2213 of 0 length.
2214 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2215 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2216 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2217
2218
2219CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2220
2221 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2222 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2223 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2224 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2225 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2226 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2227 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2228 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2229 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2230 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2231 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2232 /dev/ulptN.
2233 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2234 classes it was a member of.
2235 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2236 implicit status of a class.
2237 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2238 from implicit classes.
2239 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2240 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2241 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2242 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2243 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2244 of the scheduler.
2245 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2246 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2247 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2248 the /#copies variable anymore.
2249 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2250 option.
2251 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2252 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2253 for a bad-request error)
2254 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2255 unimplemented, not invalid.
2256 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2257 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2258 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2259 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2260 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2261 (pstoraster).
2262 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2263 which are not used.
2264 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2265 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2266 cgi_initialize_string().
2267 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2268 ippSetCGIVars()
2269 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2270 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2271 leaks.
2272 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2273 fails.
2274 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2275 setuid() calls.
2276 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2277 calls.
2278 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2279 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2280 bad input.
2281 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2282 missing hex digits.
2283
2284
2285CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2286
2287 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2288 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2289 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2290 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2291 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2292 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2293 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2294 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2295 corruption on many printers)
2296 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2297 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2298 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2299 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2300 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2301 requests.
2302 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2303 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2304 was lost.
2305 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2306 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2307 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2308 to be used for a socket.
2309 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2310 a set were numeric or string types.
2311 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2312 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2313 reading *.conf files.
2314 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2315 same logic as GET requests.
2316 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2317 /index.html to requested directory name.
2318 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2319 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2320 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2321 instead of mode 0600.
2322 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2323 instead of 0600.
2324 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2325 system name in log filenames.
2326 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2327 and hex strings.
2328
2329
2330CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2331
2332 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2333 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2334 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2335
2336
2337CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2338
2339 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2340 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2341 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2342 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2343 filter programs properly.
2344 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2345 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2346 versions of GCC.
2347 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2348 cancelled in StartJob().
2349 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2350 written with restricted permissions.
2351 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2352 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2353 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2354 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2355 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2356 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2357 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2358 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2359 syslog file.
2360 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2361 and only specifies the document format if it is
2362 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2363 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2364 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2365 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2366 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2367 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2368 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2369 cancelled.
2370 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2371 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2372 sporatic web interface problems.
2373 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2374 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2375 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2376 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2377 whitespace.
2378 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2379 instead of an integer.
2380 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2381 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2382 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2383 and user-level access control.
2384 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2385 encryption.
2386 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2387 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2388 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2389 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2390 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2391 to the man page.
2392 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2393 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2394 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2395 queued for a printer.
2396 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2397 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2398 reporting.
2399
2400
2401CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2402
2403 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2404 code.
2405 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2406 check in backend/serial.c.
2407 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2408 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2409 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2410 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2411 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2412 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2413 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2414 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2415 anyways)
2416
2417
2418CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2419
2420 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2421 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2422 for run level 5.
2423 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2424 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2425 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2426 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2427 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2428 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2429 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2430
2431
2432CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2433
2434 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2435 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2436 access from the local system.
2437 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2438 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2439 - Documentation updates.
2440 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2441 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2442 RedHat or Mandrake.
2443 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2444 warnings.
2445 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2446 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2447 hex)
2448 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2449 crash the server.
2450 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2451 correct value length for name-with-language and
2452 text-with-language attributes.
2453 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2454 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2455 efficient IPP server performance.
2456 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2457 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2458 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2459 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2460 attack.
2461 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2462 data required when getting the list of printer or
2463 class information. This should improve performance
2464 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2465 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2466 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2467 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2468 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2469 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2470 override the lpoptions default printer.
2471 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2472 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2473 attributes.
2474 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2475 did not check for the correct value for collated
2476 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2477 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2478 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2479 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2480 scale mode 2.
2481 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2482 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2483 that started with a number.
2484 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2485 multiple times in name-with-language and
2486 text-with-language attributes.
2487 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2488 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2489 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2490 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2491 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2492 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2493 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2494 close the spool directory.
2495 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2496 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2497 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2498 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2499 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2500 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2501 larger than the source string; this protects
2502 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2503 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2504 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2505 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2506 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2507 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2508 remote printers.
2509 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2510 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2511 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2512 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2513 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2514 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2515 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2516 3-argument contains() function.
2517 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2518 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2519 database containing 0 printers.
2520 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2521 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2522 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2523 printer was always busy.
2524 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2525 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2526 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2527 jobs.
2528 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2529 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2530 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2531 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2532 57600 and 115200 baud.
2533 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2534 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2535 option in the device URI.
2536 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2537 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2538 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2539 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2540 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2541 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2542 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2543 job attributes to be changed.
2544 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2545 web interface.
2546 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2547 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2548 since they do not map)
2549 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2550 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2551 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2552 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2553 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2554 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2555 child signals while loading devices.
2556 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2557 and classes.
2558 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2559 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2560 driver dithering code.
2561 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2562 after the first active printer.
2563 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2564 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2565 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2566 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2567 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2568 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2569 accepted null values.
2570 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2571 of the backends.
2572 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2573 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2574 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2575 is set in the plot file.
2576 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2577 user name, causing it to always fail.
2578 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2579 under Windows.
2580 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2581 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2582 didn't handle control file job information in any
2583 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2584 a file.
2585 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2586 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2587 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2588 printing on some systems.
2589 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2590 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2591 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2592 it.
2593
2594
2595CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2596
2597 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2598 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2599 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2600 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2601 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2602 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2603 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2604 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2605 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2606 order, which prevented remote printing.
2607 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2608 IPP requests and language information when closing
2609 a client connection.
2610 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2611 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2612 compatibles)
2613 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2614 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2615 on many OS's.
2616 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2617 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2618 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2619 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2620 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2621 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2622 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2623 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2624 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2625 PPD files.
2626 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2627 when the destination printer supported it. This
2628 caused problems when printing text files to other
2629 CUPS servers.
2630 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2631 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2632 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2633 the dates.)
2634 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2635 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2636 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2637 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2638 be clipped.
2639
2640
2641CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2642
2643 - Makefile fixes.
2644 - RPM spec file changes.
2645 - Documentation updates.
2646 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2647 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2648 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2649 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2650 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2651 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2652 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2653 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2654 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2655 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2656 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2657 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2658 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2659 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2660 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2661 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2662 specified.
2663 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2664 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2665 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2666 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2667 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2668 cupsd.conf.
2669 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2670 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2671 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2672 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2673 filter mode 'l'.
2674 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2675 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2676 defaults for all print queues.
2677 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2678 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2679 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2680 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2681 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2682 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2683 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2684 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2685 printer was defined with the same name.
2686 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2687 remove options for a printer or instance.
2688 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2689 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2690 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2691 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2692 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2693 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2694 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2695 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2696 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2697 job-printer-uri attribute.
2698 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2699 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2700 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2701 remote printers.
2702 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2703 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2704 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2705 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2706 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2707 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2708 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2709 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2710 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2711 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2712 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2713 printer set using lpoptions.
2714 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2715 list the printer-specific options and their current
2716 settings.
2717 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2718 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2719 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2720 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2721 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2722 text printing.
2723 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2724 instances.
2725 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2726 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2727 limit.
2728 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2729 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2730 new client connections.
2731 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2732 required pagedevice parameters.
2733 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2734 under Linux.
2735 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2736 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2737 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2738 would stop processing.
2739 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2740 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2741 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2742 that was currently printing a job.
2743 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2744 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2745 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2746 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2747 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2748 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2749 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2750 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2751 option values separated by commas.
2752 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2753 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2754 and free bytes once a minute)
2755 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2756 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2757 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2758 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2759 printers.
2760 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2761 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2762 requests from that address to the server name.
2763 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2764 server.domain.com to localhost.
2765 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2766 the previous device and driver settings (except
2767 for serial ports.)
2768 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2769 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2770 after a job is completed when job file history is
2771 turned off.
2772 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2773 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2774 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2775 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2776 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2777 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2778 for "lpstat -v" output.
2779 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2780 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2781 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2782 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2783 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2784 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2785 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2786 by itself without quoting.
2787
2788
2789CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2790
2791 - Makefile/configure fixes
2792 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2793 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2794 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2795 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2796 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2797 number generator for certificates.
2798 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2799 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2800 the filter user, typically "lp".
2801 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2802 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2803 user.
2804 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2805 function.
2806 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2807 standard input.
2808 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2809 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2810 page header as needed.
2811 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2812 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2813 immediately when last-document was true.
2814 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2815 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2816 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2817 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2818 and many PS printers.
2819 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2820 filters.
2821 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2822 debugging problems.
2823 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2824 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2825 calling problem...)
2826 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2827 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2828 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2829 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2830 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2831 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2832 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2833 by default.
2834 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2835 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2836 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2837 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2838 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2839 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2840 CUPS software.

2843CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2844
2845 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2846 old PDF filter files.
2847 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2848 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2849 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2850 network devices.
2851 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2852 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2853 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2854 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.

2862 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2863 0-length PPD file was read.
2864 - The image filters were not handling images with
2865 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2866 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2867 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2868 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2869 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2870 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2871 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2872 documents if they don't have it.
2873 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2874 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2875 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2876 --prefix was specified.
2877 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2878 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2879 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2880 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2881 color mode until it can be fixed.
2882 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2883 correctly in all cases.
2884 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2885 time in banner files.
2886
2887
2888CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2889
2890 - Documentation updates.
2891 - Configuration script updates.
2892 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2893 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2894 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2895 ppd_file_t structure.
2896 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2897 before it was used.
2898 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2899 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2900 the localhost address.
2901 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2902 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2903 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2904 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2905 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2906 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2907 PDF support.
2908 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2909 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2910 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2911 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2912 pstoraster.
2913 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2914 the user.
2915 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2916 not running.
2917 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2918 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2919 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2920 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2921 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2922 setpagedevice operator.
2923 - The web administration interface now allows you to set

2926 "position" option.
2927 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2928 support "%s" to insert the server name.

2930 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2931 "printer@server") when possible.
2932 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2933 with no PageSize attributes.
2934 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2935 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2936 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2937 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2938 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2939 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2940 cupsd.
2941 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2942 locations.
2943 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2944 variables to specify installation directories as
2945 needed.
2946 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2947 when the scheduler is started.
2948 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2949 printer.
2950 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2951 printer are automatically deleted.
2952 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2953 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2954 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2955 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2956 request.
2957 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2958 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2959 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2960 is "no-hold".
2961 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2962 responses.
2963 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2964 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2965 printer.
2966 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2967 request fails.
2968 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2969 printer and class names.
2970 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2971 received in a POST request.
2972
2973
2974CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2975
2976 - Documentation updates.
2977 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2978 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2979 method.
2980 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2981 (not defined in HTTP specification)

2983 - Missing the job-restart template.
2984 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2985 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2986 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2987 not specified.
2988 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2989 from getting through.
2990 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2991 stderr.
2992 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2993 job name and display string, if supported.
2994 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2995 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2996 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2997 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2998 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2999 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3000 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3001 UTF-8...
3002 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3003 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3004 could cause cupsd to crash.
3005 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3006 crash.
3007 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3008 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3009 "HH:MM:SS".
3010 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3011 connection structure.
3012 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3013 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3014 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3015 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3016 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3017 is a potential security hole.
3018 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3019 new pstoraster.
3020 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3021 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3022 (/dev/usblp#)
3023 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3024 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3025 release.
3026
3027
3028CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3029
3030 - Documentation updates.
3031 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3032 now compile better under *BSD.)
3033 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3034 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3035 tray was selected.
3036 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3037 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3038 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3039 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3040 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3041 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3042 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3043 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3044 can handle.
3045 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3046 cause cupsd to crash.
3047 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3048 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3049 mime.types file.
3050 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3051 of file to be used as a banner.
3052 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3053 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3054 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3055 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3056 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3057 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3058 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3059 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3060 the IANA registrations.
3061 - New PostScript banner pages.
3062 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3063 filter.
3064 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3065 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3066 code.
3067 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3068 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3069 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3070 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3071 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3072 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3073 accurate width specification.
3074 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3075 files.
3076 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3077 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3078 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3079 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3080 that support it.
3081 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3082 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3083 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3084 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3085 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3086 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3087 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3088 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3089 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3090 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3091
3092
3093CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3094
3095 - Documentation updates.
3096 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3097 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3098 shell and Bash.
3099 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3100 code.
3101 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3102 manufacturer in the PPD.

3104 output attributes to be set.
3105 - Added banner page support.
3106 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3107 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3108 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3109 timezone offset.
3110 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3111 file is generated).
3112 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3113 printers when they became available.
3114 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3115 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3116 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3117 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3118 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3119 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3120 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3121 (override with -f)
3122 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3123 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3124 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3125 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3126 folks.
3127 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3128 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3129 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3130 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3131 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3132 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3133 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3134 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3135 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3136 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3137 languages (still only have templates for English)
3138 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3139 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3140 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3141 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3142 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3143 needed for some sites)
3144 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3145 templates.
3146 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3147 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3148 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3149 specific printer.
3150 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3151 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3152 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3153 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3154 authentication.
3155 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3156 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3157 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3158 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3159 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3160 filter.
3161 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3162 US-ASCII.
3163 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3164 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3165 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3166 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3167 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3168 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3169 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3170 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3171 basis without environment variables.
3172 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3173
3174
3175CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3176
3177 - Documentation updates.
3178 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3179 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3180 printer.
3181 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3182 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3183 distribution.
3184 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3185 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3186 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3187 to match the IPP spec.
3188 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3189 (previously they would be ignored)
3190 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3191 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3192 machines.
3193 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3194 and printer.
3195 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3196 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3197 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3198 BrowseRelay directives.
3199 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3200 still receives information on remote printers.
3201 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3202 networks)
3203 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3204 of PPD files.
3205 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3206 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.

3229 was being used.
3230 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
