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

1561
1562CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1563
1564 - Documentation updates.
1565 - Configuration script updates.
1566 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1567 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1568 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1569 ppd_file_t structure.
1570 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1571 before it was used.
1572 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1573 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1574 the localhost address.
1575 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1576 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1577 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1578 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1579 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1580 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1581 PDF support.
1582 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1583 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1584 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1585 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1586 pstoraster.
1587 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1588 the user.
1589 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1590 not running.
1591 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1592 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1593 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1594 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1595 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1596 setpagedevice operator.
1597 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1598 the default banner pages.
1599 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1600 "position" option.
1601 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1602 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1603 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1604 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1605 "printer@server") when possible.
1606 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1607 with no PageSize attributes.
1608 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1609 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1610 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1611 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1612 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1613 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1614 cupsd.
1615 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1616 locations.
1617 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1618 variables to specify installation directories as
1619 needed.
1620 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1621 when the scheduler is started.
1622 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1623 printer.
1624 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1625 printer are automatically deleted.
1626 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1627 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1628 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1629 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1630 request.
1631 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1632 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1633 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1634 is "no-hold".
1635 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1636 responses.
1637 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1638 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1639 printer.
1640 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1641 request fails.
1642 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1643 printer and class names.
1644 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1645 received in a POST request.
1646
1647
1648CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1649
1650 - Documentation updates.
1651 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1652 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1653 method.
1654 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1655 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1656 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1657 - Missing the job-restart template.
1658 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1659 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1660 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1661 not specified.
1662 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1663 from getting through.
1664 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1665 stderr.
1666 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1667 job name and display string, if supported.
1668 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1669 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1670 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1671 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1672 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1673 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1674 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1675 UTF-8...
1676 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1677 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1678 could cause cupsd to crash.
1679 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1680 crash.
1681 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1682 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1683 "HH:MM:SS".
1684 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1685 connection structure.
1686 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1687 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1688 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1689 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1690 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1691 is a potential security hole.
1692 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1693 new pstoraster.
1694 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1695 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1696 (/dev/usblp#)
1697 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1698 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1699 release.
1700
1701
1702CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1703
1704 - Documentation updates.
1705 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1706 now compile better under *BSD.)
1707 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1708 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1709 tray was selected.
1710 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1711 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1712 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1713 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1714 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1715 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1716 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1717 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1718 can handle.
1719 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1720 cause cupsd to crash.
1721 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1722 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1723 mime.types file.
1724 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1725 of file to be used as a banner.
1726 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1727 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1728 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1729 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1730 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1731 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1732 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1733 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1734 the IANA registrations.
1735 - New PostScript banner pages.
1736 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1737 filter.
1738 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1739 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1740 code.
1741 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1742 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1743 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1744 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1745 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1746 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1747 accurate width specification.
1748 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1749 files.
1750 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1751 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1752 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1753 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1754 that support it.
1755 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1756 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1757 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1758 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1759 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1760 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1761 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1762 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1763 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1764 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1765
1766
1767CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1768
1769 - Documentation updates.
1770 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1771 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1772 shell and Bash.
1773 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1774 code.
1775 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1776 manufacturer in the PPD.

1778 output attributes to be set.
1779 - Added banner page support.
1780 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1781 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1782 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1783 timezone offset.
1784 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1785 file is generated).
1786 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1787 printers when they became available.
1788 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1789 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1790 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1791 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1792 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1793 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1794 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1795 (override with -f)
1796 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1797 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1798 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1799 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1800 folks.
1801 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1802 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1803 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1804 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1805 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1806 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1807 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1808 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1809 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1810 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1811 languages (still only have templates for English)
1812 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1813 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1814 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1815 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1816 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1817 needed for some sites)
1818 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1819 templates.
1820 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1821 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1822 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1823 specific printer.
1824 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1825 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1826 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1827 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1828 authentication.
1829 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1830 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1831 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1832 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1833 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1834 filter.
1835 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1836 US-ASCII.
1837 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1838 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1839 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1840 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1841 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1842 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1843 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1844 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1845 basis without environment variables.
1846 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1847
1848
1849CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1850
1851 - Documentation updates.
1852 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1853 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1854 printer.
1855 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1856 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1857 distribution.
1858 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1859 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1860 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1861 to match the IPP spec.
1862 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1863 (previously they would be ignored)
1864 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1865 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1866 machines.
1867 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1868 and printer.
1869 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1870 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1871 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1872 BrowseRelay directives.
1873 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1874 still receives information on remote printers.
1875 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1876 networks)
1877 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1878 of PPD files.
1879 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1880 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1881 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not

1903 was being used.
1904 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
