ee8b7dd3 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
5
843779ef 6 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 7 attribute name length or string with language value
8 was not larger than the read buffer.
0e1f4bec 9 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
10 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 11 - MacOS X fixes.
12 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
13 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
14 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
15 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 16 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
17 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
18 it from waiting for the job to complete when
19 communicating with some IPP implementations that
20 require it.

22
d2503e02 23CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
24
28a96fe2 25 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
26 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 27 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
28 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
29 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 30 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
31 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
32 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
33 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
34 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 35 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
36 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
37 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
38 *.convs files.
db911fcb 39 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
40 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
41 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
42 goes away.
7c587866 43 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
44 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 45 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 46 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 47 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 48 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
49 portion of the printer name, and since it would
50 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
51 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 52 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
53 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 54 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
55 connections to improve performance/response time.
56 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
57 from Andrea Suatoni.
58 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
59 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
60 tools support.
61 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
62 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
63 existed.
64 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
65 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 66 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
67 page-set option.
873a6f43 68 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
69 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 70 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
71 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
72 etc.)
bd73c81f 73 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
74 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
75 listing for a printer.
76 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
77 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
78 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 79 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
80 values.
dd5f3453 81 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
82 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 83 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
84 - Updated the Italian message translations.
85 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
86 files.
87 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
88 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 89 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
90 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
91 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 92 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
93 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 94 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
95 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 96 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
97 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 98 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
99 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
100 classification level, if set. This way the original
101 banner settings are preserved when classification
102 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 103 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
104 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 105 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
106 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
107 system default group was not used.
108 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
109 send multiple control files.
110 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
111 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
112 for the "https" scheme.
113 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
114 from the web interface for accounts other than
115 "root".
116 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
117 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
118 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
119 address properly.
120 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
121 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
122 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
123 inside a Location, which is not valid.
124 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
125 information under Linux.
126 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
127 option (if present) in PPD files.
128 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
129 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
130 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
131 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
132 the lppasswd command.
133 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
134 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
135 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
136 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
137 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
138 directory and configuration files are owned by and
139 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
140 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
141 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
142 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
143 restarting cupsd.
144 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
145 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
146 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
147 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
148 for commands on the standard input.
149 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
150 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
151 pointer platforms...
152
153
154CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
155
156 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
157 files.
158 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
159 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
160 destination type for the new destination.
161 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
162 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
163 printer ACLs.
164 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
165 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
166 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
167 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
168 printer-make-and-model attribute.
169
170
171CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
172
173 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
174 files.
175 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
176 files.
177 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
178 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
179 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
180 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
181 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
182 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
183 the device list (lpinfo -m).
184 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
185 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
186 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
187 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
188 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
189 increment. [this caused some versions of the
190 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
191 options exceeded 100...]
192 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
193 was set to "No".
194 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
195 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
196 infinite loop when accepting a request.
197 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
198 functions to make IPP request/response processing
199 faster.
200 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
201 support properly support the "-h" or default
202 server name.
203 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
204 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
205 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
206 support printer instances.
207 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
208 underline formatting.
209 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
210 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
211 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
212 (-1).
213 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
214 from printing to printers in that class.
215 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
216 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
217 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
218 slower systems since more information had to be
219 transferred from server to client.
220 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
221 things like the job title. This had the potential for
222 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
223 machine); bug report from SuSE.
224 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
225 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
226 processing.
227 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
228 to stderr instead of stdout...
229 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
230 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
231 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
232 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
233 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
234 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
235 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
236 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
237 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
238 the Spanish banner files.
239 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
240 language abbreviation to use for all supported
241 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
242 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
243 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
244 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
245 anonymous printing (no username specified).
246 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
247 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
248 information when printing via LPD.
249 - Added many warning and informational messages
250 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
251 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
252 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
253 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
254 provided.
255 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
256 cupsd.conf.
257 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
258 32k.
259 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
260 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
261 possible.
262 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
263 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
264 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
265 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
266 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
267 long values.
268 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
269 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
270 to CGIs.
271 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
272 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
273 time.
274 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
275 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
276 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
277 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
278 result in a blank page being output...
279 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
280 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
281 page comments when printing files directly...)
282 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
283 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
284 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
285 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
286 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
287 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
288 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
289 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
290 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
291 original destination.
292 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
293 requested-attributes attribute in the
294 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
295 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
296 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
297 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
298 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
299 prints.
300
301
302CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
303
304 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
305 makefiles to install files properly.
306
307
308CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
309
310 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
311 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
312 to override the classification of individual jobs.
313 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
314 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
315 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
316 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
317 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
318 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
319 server.
320 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
321 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
322 with some types of flow control.
323 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
324 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
325 server.
326 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
327 lines in the configuration files.
328 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
329 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
330 from the server.
331 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
332 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
333 to the file: pseudo-backend.
334 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
335 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
336 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
337 script. Previously the job's document format was
338 used, which was incorrect.
339 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
340 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
341 "raw" model from the command-line.
342 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
343 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
344 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
345 printers.
346 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
347 Chinese text support compiled into it.
348 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
349 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
350 which caused some confusion... :)
351 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
352 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
353
354
355CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
356
357 - The configure script did not substitute the
358 correct user and group names.
359 - The configure script did not use the full path
360 to the install-sh script when it was used.
361 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
362 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
363 duplexing.
364 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
365 distribution.
366 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
367 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
368 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
369 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
370 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
371 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
372 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
373 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
374 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
375 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
376 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
377 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
378
379
380CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
381
382 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
383 approach for the various tests.
384 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
385 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
386 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
387 options to specify the default user and group for
388 CUPS.
389 - Added AIX shared library support.
390 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
391 parallel ports.
392 - Now use install program or script to install
393 directories, files, and symlinks.
394 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
395 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
396 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
397 print.
398 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
399 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
400 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
401 64-bit boundary.
402 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
403 skip the Digest keyword.
404 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
405 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
406 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
407 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
408 authentication from passwd.md5.
409 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
410 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
411 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
412 PPD files should start much faster now.
413 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
414 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
415 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
416 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
417 times.
418 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
419 code if an error occurred.
420 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
421 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
422 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
423 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
424 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
425 eliminates the buffer start bug.
426 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
427 the receiving device didn't support the copies
428 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
429 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
430 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
431 copies would come out instead of N.
432 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
433 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
434 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
435 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
436 output an even number of pages.
437 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
438 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
439 from being cancelled early.
440 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
441 instances, and options that are not defined by the
442 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
443 options from being used in individual user accounts.
444 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
445 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
446 "ESC i" graphics command.
447 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
448 printers to a local class.
449 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
450 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
451 - The scheduler did not load or save the
452 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
453 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
454 printers that were part of a class.
455 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
456 printer more than once.
457 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
458 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
459 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
460 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
461 account.
462 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
463 against a location of "/printers/name".
464 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
465 upgrades properly.
466 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
467 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
468 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
469 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
470 when using Digest authentication.
471 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
472 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
473 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
474 file.
475 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
476 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
477 server.
478 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
479 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
480 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
481 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
482 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
483 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
484 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
485 not the empty string.
486 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
487 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
488 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
489 unsupported attributes which should normally be
490 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
491 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
492 supported file types into the
493 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
494 clients to not send the local file type (such as
495 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
496 corresponding bad output in some cases.
497 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
498 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
499 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
500 or behave irratically.
501 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
502 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
503 specified.
504 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
505 completed or reported as "pending-held".
506 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
507 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
508 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
509 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
510 retrieve and update the server configuration files
511 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
512 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
513 location or description of the printer.
514 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
515 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
516 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
517 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
518 multiple groups.
519 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
520 Apache.
521 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
522 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
523 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
524 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
525 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
526 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
527 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
528 the page-ranges option from working properly.
529 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
530 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
531 Ghostscript code.
532 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
533 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
534 size instead of percent of page size.)
535 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
536 instead of root.
537 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
538 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
539 size options.
540 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
541 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
542 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
543 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
544 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
545 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
546 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
547 character.
548
549
550CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
551
552 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
553 package for pstoraster.
554 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
555 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
556 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
557 Guiliani for finding this bug!
558 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
559 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
560 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
561 - The IPP backend did not handle the
562 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
563 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
564 to stop on client machines when the server had job
565 history disabled.
566 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
567 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
568 connections initially.
569 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
570 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
571 throughout.
572 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
573 Richard Begg.)
574 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
575 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
576 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
577 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
578 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
579 in the first page instead of the document setup section
580 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
581 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
582 #54489...
583 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
584 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
585 (only affects page-label and Classification
586 options.)
587 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
588 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
589
590
591CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
592
593 - Configuration script changes, including new
594 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
595 documentation and web content according to your
596 favorite version of the FHS.
597 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
598 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
599 test CUPS prior to installation.
600 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
601 insensitive to match Apache.
602 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
603 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
604 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
605 directives.
606 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
607 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
608 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
609 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
610 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
611 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
612 might not work with some LPD servers...)
613 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
614 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
615 formats are supported at present.)
616 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
617 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
618 all browsing off.
619 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
620 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
621 document.
622 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
623 to requests without the attributes-charset or
624 attributes-natural-language attributes.
625 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
626 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
627 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
628 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
629 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
630 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
631 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
632 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
633 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
634 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
635 server.
636 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
637 PJL commands from PPD files.
638 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
639 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
640 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
641 cancel all jobs on all printers.
642 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
643 the next/current job in the queue.
644 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
645 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
646 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
647 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
648 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
649 for Sun Raster images.
650 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
651 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
652 function.
653 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
654 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
655 command when printing to USB devices.
656 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
657 the cupsd.conf file.
658 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
659 which could block if insufficient entropy information
660 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
661 /dev/urandom.
662 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
663 httpGetSubField().
664 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
665 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
666 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
667 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
668 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
669 CGI was currently running.
670 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
671 option=true or option=false.
672 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
673 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
674 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
675 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
676 could cause it to crash.
677 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
678 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
679 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
680 attribute when altering a job.
681 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
682 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
683 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
684 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
685 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
686 addresses.
687 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
688 the current classification on each page.
689 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
690 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
691 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
692 for CGI programs when a client connects using
693 encryption.
694 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
695 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
696 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
697 support instances.
698 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
699 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
700 and should never be used in a production environment.
701 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
702 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
703 interface.
704 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
705 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
706 prevent caching of the results.
707 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
708 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
709 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
710 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
711 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
712 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
713 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
714 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
715 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
716 submitted by a user.
717 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
718 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
719 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
720 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
721 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
722 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
723 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
724 embedded spaces.
725 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
726 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
727 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
728 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
729 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
730 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
731 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
732 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
733 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
734 by the GIMP.
735 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
736 bypassed the authentication checks.
737 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
738 to the client and end the current request. This caused
739 a race condition between the client and server for the
740 upgrade to TLS.
741 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
742 the pstops filter.
743 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
744 the custom page size in the raster header.
745 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
746 size to the size of the printed image.
747 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
748 which are required by some printers.
749 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
750 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
751 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
752 DSC).
753 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
754 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
755 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
756 driver.
757 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
758 font list was not terminated by a newline.
759 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
760 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
761 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
762 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
763 workaround using a static variable has been added to
764 address this problem.
765 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
766 that could cause printers to disappear or the
767 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
768 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
769 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
770 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
771 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
772 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
773 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
774 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
775 to manage print jobs.
776 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
777 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
778 of 0 length.
779 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
780 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
781 Guiliani for finding this bug!
782
783
784CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
785
786 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
787 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
788 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
789 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
790 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
791 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
792 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
793 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
794 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
795 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
796 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
797 /dev/ulptN.
798 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
799 classes it was a member of.
800 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
801 implicit status of a class.
802 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
803 from implicit classes.
804 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
805 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
806 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
807 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
808 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
809 of the scheduler.
810 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
811 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
812 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
813 the /#copies variable anymore.
814 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
815 option.
816 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
817 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
818 for a bad-request error)
819 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
820 unimplemented, not invalid.
821 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
822 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
823 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
824 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
825 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
826 (pstoraster).
827 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
828 which are not used.
829 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
830 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
831 cgi_initialize_string().
832 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
833 ippSetCGIVars()
834 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
835 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
836 leaks.
837 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
838 fails.
839 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
840 setuid() calls.
841 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
842 calls.
843 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
844 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
845 bad input.
846 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
847 missing hex digits.
848
849
850CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
851
852 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
853 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
854 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
855 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
856 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
857 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
858 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
859 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
860 corruption on many printers)
861 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
862 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
863 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
864 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
865 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
866 requests.
867 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
868 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
869 was lost.
870 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
871 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
872 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
873 to be used for a socket.
874 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
875 a set were numeric or string types.
876 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
877 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
878 reading *.conf files.
879 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
880 same logic as GET requests.
881 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
882 /index.html to requested directory name.
883 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
884 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
885 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
886 instead of mode 0600.
887 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
888 instead of 0600.
889 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
890 system name in log filenames.
891 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
892 and hex strings.
893
894
895CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
896
897 - Added configure check for getting the correct
898 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
899 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
900
901
902CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
903
904 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
905 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
906 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
907 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
908 filter programs properly.
909 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
910 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
911 versions of GCC.
912 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
913 cancelled in StartJob().
914 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
915 written with restricted permissions.
916 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
917 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
918 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
919 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
920 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
921 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
922 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
923 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
924 syslog file.
925 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
926 and only specifies the document format if it is
927 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
928 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
929 capabilities of CUPS servers.
930 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
931 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
932 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
933 signals and eject the current page when a job is
934 cancelled.
935 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
936 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
937 sporatic web interface problems.
938 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
939 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
940 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
941 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
942 whitespace.
943 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
944 instead of an integer.
945 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
946 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
947 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
948 and user-level access control.
949 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
950 encryption.
951 - The client code did not consume the response to the
952 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
953 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
954 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
955 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
956 to the man page.
957 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
958 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
959 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
960 queued for a printer.
961 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
962 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
963 reporting.
964
965
966CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
967
968 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
969 code.
970 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
971 check in backend/serial.c.
972 - Updated configure script handling of data,
973 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
974 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
975 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
976 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
977 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
978 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
979 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
980 anyways)
981
982
983CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
984
985 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
986 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
987 for run level 5.
988 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
989 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
990 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
991 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
992 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
993 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
994 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
995
996
997CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
998
999 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1000 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1001 access from the local system.
1002 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1003 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1004 - Documentation updates.
1005 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1006 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1007 RedHat or Mandrake.
1008 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1009 warnings.
1010 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1011 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1012 hex)
1013 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1014 crash the server.
1015 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1016 correct value length for name-with-language and
1017 text-with-language attributes.
1018 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1019 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1020 efficient IPP server performance.
1021 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1022 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1023 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1024 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1025 attack.
1026 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1027 data required when getting the list of printer or
1028 class information. This should improve performance
1029 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1030 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1031 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1032 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1033 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1034 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1035 override the lpoptions default printer.
1036 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1037 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1038 attributes.
1039 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1040 did not check for the correct value for collated
1041 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1042 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1043 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1044 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1045 scale mode 2.
1046 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1047 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1048 that started with a number.
1049 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1050 multiple times in name-with-language and
1051 text-with-language attributes.
1052 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1053 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1054 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1055 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1056 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1057 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1058 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1059 close the spool directory.
1060 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1061 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1062 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1063 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1064 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1065 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1066 larger than the source string; this protects
1067 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1068 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1069 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1070 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1071 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1072 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1073 remote printers.
1074 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1075 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1076 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1077 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1078 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1079 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1080 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1081 3-argument contains() function.
1082 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1083 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1084 database containing 0 printers.
1085 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1086 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1087 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1088 printer was always busy.
1089 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1090 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1091 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1092 jobs.
1093 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1094 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1095 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1096 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1097 57600 and 115200 baud.
1098 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1099 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1100 option in the device URI.
1101 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1102 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1103 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1104 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1105 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1106 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1107 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1108 job attributes to be changed.
1109 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1110 web interface.
1111 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1112 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1113 since they do not map)
1114 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1115 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1116 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1117 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1118 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1119 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1120 child signals while loading devices.
1121 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1122 and classes.
1123 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1124 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1125 driver dithering code.
1126 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1127 after the first active printer.
1128 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1129 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1130 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1131 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1132 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1133 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1134 accepted null values.
1135 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1136 of the backends.
1137 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1138 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1139 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1140 is set in the plot file.
1141 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1142 user name, causing it to always fail.
1143 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1144 under Windows.
1145 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1146 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1147 didn't handle control file job information in any
1148 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1149 a file.
1150 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1151 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1152 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1153 printing on some systems.
1154 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1155 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1156 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1157 it.
1158
1159
1160CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1161
1162 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1163 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1164 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1165 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1166 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1167 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1168 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1169 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1170 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1171 order, which prevented remote printing.
1172 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1173 IPP requests and language information when closing
1174 a client connection.
1175 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1176 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1177 compatibles)
1178 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1179 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1180 on many OS's.
1181 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1182 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1183 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1184 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1185 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1186 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1187 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1188 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1189 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1190 PPD files.
1191 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1192 when the destination printer supported it. This
1193 caused problems when printing text files to other
1194 CUPS servers.
1195 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1196 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1197 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1198 the dates.)
1199 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1200 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1201 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1202 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1203 be clipped.
1204
1205
1206CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1207
1208 - Makefile fixes.
1209 - RPM spec file changes.
1210 - Documentation updates.
1211 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1212 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1213 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1214 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1215 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1216 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1217 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1218 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1219 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1220 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1221 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1222 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1223 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1224 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1225 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1226 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1227 specified.
1228 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1229 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1230 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1231 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1232 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1233 cupsd.conf.
1234 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1235 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1236 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1237 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1238 filter mode 'l'.
1239 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1240 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1241 defaults for all print queues.
1242 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1243 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1244 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1245 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1246 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1247 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1248 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1249 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1250 printer was defined with the same name.
1251 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1252 remove options for a printer or instance.
1253 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1254 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1255 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1256 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1257 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1258 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1259 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1260 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1261 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1262 job-printer-uri attribute.
1263 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1264 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1265 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1266 remote printers.
1267 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1268 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1269 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1270 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1271 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1272 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1273 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1274 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1275 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1276 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1277 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1278 printer set using lpoptions.
1279 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1280 list the printer-specific options and their current
1281 settings.
1282 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1283 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1284 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1285 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1286 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1287 text printing.
1288 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1289 instances.
1290 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1291 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1292 limit.
1293 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1294 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1295 new client connections.
1296 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1297 required pagedevice parameters.
1298 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1299 under Linux.
1300 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1301 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1302 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1303 would stop processing.
1304 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1305 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1306 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1307 that was currently printing a job.
1308 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1309 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1310 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1311 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1312 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1313 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1314 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1315 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1316 option values separated by commas.
1317 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1318 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1319 and free bytes once a minute)
1320 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1321 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1322 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1323 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1324 printers.
1325 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1326 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1327 requests from that address to the server name.
1328 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1329 server.domain.com to localhost.
1330 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1331 the previous device and driver settings (except
1332 for serial ports.)
1333 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1334 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1335 after a job is completed when job file history is
1336 turned off.
1337 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1338 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1339 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1340 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1341 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1342 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1343 for "lpstat -v" output.
1344 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1345 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1346 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1347 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1348 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1349 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1350 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1351 by itself without quoting.
1352
1353
1354CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1355
1356 - Makefile/configure fixes
1357 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1358 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1359 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1360 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1361 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1362 number generator for certificates.
1363 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1364 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1365 the filter user, typically "lp".
1366 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1367 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1368 user.
1369 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1370 function.
1371 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1372 standard input.
1373 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1374 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1375 page header as needed.
1376 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1377 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1378 immediately when last-document was true.
1379 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1380 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1381 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1382 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1383 and many PS printers.
1384 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1385 filters.
1386 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1387 debugging problems.
1388 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1389 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1390 calling problem...)
1391 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1392 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1393 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1394 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1395 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1396 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1397 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1398 by default.
1399 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1400 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1401 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1402 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1403 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1404 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1405 CUPS software.
1406
1407
1408CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1409
1410 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1411 old PDF filter files.
1412 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1413 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1414 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1415 network devices.
1416 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1417 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1418 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1419 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1420 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1421 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1422 is defined otherwise.
1423 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1424 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1425 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1426 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1427 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1428 0-length PPD file was read.
1429 - The image filters were not handling images with
1430 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1431 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1432 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1433 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1434 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1435 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1436 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1437 documents if they don't have it.
1438 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1439 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1440 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1441 --prefix was specified.
1442 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1443 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1444 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1445 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1446 color mode until it can be fixed.
1447 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1448 correctly in all cases.
1449 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1450 time in banner files.
1451
1452
1453CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1454
1455 - Documentation updates.
1456 - Configuration script updates.
1457 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1458 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1459 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1460 ppd_file_t structure.
1461 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1462 before it was used.
1463 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1464 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1465 the localhost address.
1466 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1467 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1468 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1469 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1470 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1471 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1472 PDF support.
1473 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1474 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1475 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1476 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1477 pstoraster.
1478 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1479 the user.
1480 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1481 not running.
1482 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1483 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1484 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1485 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1486 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1487 setpagedevice operator.
1488 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1489 the default banner pages.
1490 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1491 "position" option.
1492 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1493 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1494 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1495 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1496 "printer@server") when possible.
1497 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1498 with no PageSize attributes.
1499 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1500 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1501 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1502 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1503 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1504 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1505 cupsd.
1506 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1507 locations.
1508 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1509 variables to specify installation directories as
1510 needed.
1511 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1512 when the scheduler is started.
1513 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1514 printer.
1515 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1516 printer are automatically deleted.
1517 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1518 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1519 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1520 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1521 request.
1522 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1523 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1524 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1525 is "no-hold".
1526 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1527 responses.
1528 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1529 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1530 printer.
1531 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1532 request fails.
1533 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1534 printer and class names.
1535 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1536 received in a POST request.
1537
1538
1539CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1540
1541 - Documentation updates.
1542 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1543 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1544 method.
1545 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1546 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1547 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1548 - Missing the job-restart template.
1549 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1550 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1551 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1552 not specified.
1553 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1554 from getting through.
1555 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1556 stderr.
1557 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1558 job name and display string, if supported.
1559 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1560 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1561 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1562 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1563 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1564 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1565 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1566 UTF-8...
1567 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1568 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1569 could cause cupsd to crash.
1570 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1571 crash.
1572 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1573 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1574 "HH:MM:SS".
1575 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1576 connection structure.
1577 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1578 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1579 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1580 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1581 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1582 is a potential security hole.
1583 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1584 new pstoraster.
1585 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1586 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1587 (/dev/usblp#)
1588 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1589 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1590 release.
1591
1592
1593CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1594
1595 - Documentation updates.
1596 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1597 now compile better under *BSD.)
1598 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1599 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1600 tray was selected.
1601 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1602 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1603 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1604 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1605 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1606 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1607 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1608 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1609 can handle.
1610 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1611 cause cupsd to crash.
1612 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1613 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1614 mime.types file.
1615 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1616 of file to be used as a banner.
1617 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1618 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1619 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1620 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1621 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1622 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1623 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1624 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1625 the IANA registrations.
1626 - New PostScript banner pages.
1627 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1628 filter.
1629 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1630 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1631 code.
1632 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1633 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1634 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1635 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1636 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1637 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1638 accurate width specification.
1639 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1640 files.
1641 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1642 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1643 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1644 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1645 that support it.
1646 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1647 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1648 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1649 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1650 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1651 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1652 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1653 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1654 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1655 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1656
1657
1658CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1659
1660 - Documentation updates.
1661 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1662 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1663 shell and Bash.
1664 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1665 code.
1666 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1667 manufacturer in the PPD.
1668 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1669 output attributes to be set.
1670 - Added banner page support.
1671 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1672 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1673 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1674 timezone offset.
1675 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1676 file is generated).
1677 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1678 printers when they became available.
1679 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1680 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1681 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1682 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1683 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1684 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1685 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1686 (override with -f)
1687 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1688 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1689 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1690 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1691 folks.
1692 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1693 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1694 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1695 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1696 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1697 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1698 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1699 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1700 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1701 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1702 languages (still only have templates for English)
1703 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1704 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1705 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1706 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1707 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1708 needed for some sites)
1709 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1710 templates.
1711 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1712 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1713 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1714 specific printer.
1715 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1716 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1717 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1718 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1719 authentication.
1720 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1721 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1722 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1723 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1724 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1725 filter.
1726 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1727 US-ASCII.
1728 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1729 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1730 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1731 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1732 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1733 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1734 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1735 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1736 basis without environment variables.
1737 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1738
1739
1740CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1741
1742 - Documentation updates.
1743 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1744 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1745 printer.
1746 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1747 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1748 distribution.
1749 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1750 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1751 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1752 to match the IPP spec.
1753 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1754 (previously they would be ignored)
1755 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1756 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1757 machines.
1758 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1759 and printer.
1760 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1761 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1762 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1763 BrowseRelay directives.
1764 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1765 still receives information on remote printers.
1766 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1767 networks)
1768 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1769 of PPD files.
1770 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1771 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1772 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1773 close their input files.
1774
1775
1776CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b1
1777
1778 - NEW web-based administration interface.
1779 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
1780 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
1781 - NEW persistent jobs and job history
1782 - NEW IPP/1.1 support
1783 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
1784 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
1785 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
1786 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local
1787 administration.
1788 - NEW USB backend.
1789 - The lpr command now produces human-readable error messages.

1793 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
1794 was being used.
1795 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
