759f5023 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
5
6 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
7 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
8 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
9 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
10 process from returning.
11
12
3cc7bca4 13CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
14
5c826e17 15 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
16 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 17 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 18 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
19 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 20 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
21 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
22 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
23 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
24 ticket data.
25 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
26 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
27 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 28 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
29 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
30 group membership still requires the account name to be
31 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 32 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
33 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
34 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
35 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 36 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
37 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 38 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
39 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
40 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
41 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
42 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 43 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
44 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 45 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
46 caused by servers sending the status line and
47 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 48 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
49 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
50 empty.
78143282 51 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
52 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 53 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
54 Windows.
f33d1239 55 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
56 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 57 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
58 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
59 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 60 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
61 (interrupted system call) errors.
62 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
63 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
64 caused by the child signal handler.
65 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
66 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
67 error.
e1e31a38 68 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
69 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 70 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
71 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 72 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
73 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
74 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 75 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
76 properly localized time string.
549d1888 77 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
78 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
79 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 80 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
81 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 82 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
83 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
84 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
85 scheduler.
86 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
87 scheduler so that the printer object information is
88 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
89 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
90 queues.
854d3bb2 91 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
92 filename.
137d4d44 93 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
94 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
95 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
96 automatic form feed.
97 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 98 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
99 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 100 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
101 MacOS X.
102 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
103 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
104 has been removed.
105
106
06415a96 107CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
108
727e6d14 109 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
110 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
111 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
112 printer.
113 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
114 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 115 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
116 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
117 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 118 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
119 you can display completed jobs as well as
120 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 121 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
122 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
123 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 124 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
125 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
126 occurs.
db628f45 127 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
128 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 129 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
130 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
131 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
132 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
133 the page number.
da312e94 134 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
135 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 136 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 137 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
138 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
139 banner pages.
25037b2b 140 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
141 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
142 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 143 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 144 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
145 reliably.
a9219725 146 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
147 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
148 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
149 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 150 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
151 connection when sending an error that requires the
152 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
153 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
154 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 155 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
156 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
157 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
158 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 159 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
160 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
161 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
162 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 163 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
164 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 165 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
166 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 167 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
168 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 169 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
170 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 171 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
172 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
173 defines a circular filter rule.
174 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
175 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 176 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
177 files.
5ca43bfd 178 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
179 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 180 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
181 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
182 compatibility).
879062a9 183 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 184 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
185 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
186 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 187 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
188 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 189 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
190 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
191 shutdown.
098f80c5 192 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
193 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
194 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 195 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
196 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
197 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
198 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 199 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
200 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
201 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 202 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
203 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 204 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
205 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
206 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
207 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 208 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
209 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
210 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 211 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
212 connect to the remote server name in a
213 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
214 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
215 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
216 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 217 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
218 the program would try to print the option letter that
219 caused the error using the wrong index into the
220 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 221 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
222 attributes from printer options in
223 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 224 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
225 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 226 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 227 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
228 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 229 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
230 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
231 characters.
232 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
233 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
234 the language mode.
235 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
236 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
237 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
238 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
239 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 240 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 241 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
242 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 243 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
244 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 245 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
246 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
247 driver.
997cf8b0 248 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
249 the next available printer rather than waiting until
250 that printer is available.
251 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
252 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
253 printer class instead of a normal printer.
254 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
255 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
256 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 257 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
258 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
259 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
260 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 261 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
262 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
263 to accept connections.
264 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
265 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
266 and current directory.
267 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
268 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
269 into the file type database would no longer be valid
270 for existing jobs.
271 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
272 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
273 actually provided.
274 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 275 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
276 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 277 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
278 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 279 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
280 case-insensitive.
281 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
282 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 283 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
284 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
285 Solaris.
b91c8a76 286 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
287 printing banner pages.
4f759211 288 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 289 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
290 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 291 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
292 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 293 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
294 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
295 file.
8ce19460 296 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
297 description from member printers.
fabb006b 298 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
299 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 300 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 301 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
302 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 303 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
304 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 305 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
306 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
307 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 308 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
309 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
310 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
311 up...
19e7b382 312 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
313 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
314 authentication didn't work for administration
315 operations.
103abc03 316 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
317 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 318 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
319 interface to "localhost".
320 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
321 response to queue state commands, but those commands
322 only return textual data.
323
324
7680b71d 325CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
326
327 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
328 string function header, which is required on systems
329 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
330 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
331 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
332 have to.
333
334
74cfdb8b 335CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
336
dab1a4d8 337 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
338 license exception.
611e4623 339 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
340 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 341 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
342 option if none is provided to automatically select the
343 correct tray.
ed6078a4 344 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
345 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
346 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
347 options.
348 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
349 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
350 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 351 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
352 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
353 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
354 queues) on the server.
355 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
356 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
357 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
358 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 359 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
360 set definitions.
a319615f 361 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
362 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 363 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
364 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 365 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 366 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 367 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
368 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 369 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
370 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 371 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
372 have a small comment header explaining where the file
373 comes from...
6df23e27 374 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 375 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 376 number-up-layout options.
415199da 377 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
378 using the default printer.
379 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
380 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
381 to allow for longer printer names.
382 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
383 history data.
384 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
385 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
386 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
387 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 388 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
389 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
390 caused problems on some installations that would
391 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
392 level 3.
393 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 394 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
395 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 396 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
397 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 398 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
399 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 400 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 401 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
402 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
403 (cupsd).
a4e23897 404 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
405 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
406 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
407 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 408 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
409 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
410 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
411 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
412 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
413 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
414 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
415 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
416 non-ISOLatin1 text.
417 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
418 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
419 of glyphs.
576b82ca 420 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
421 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
422 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
423 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 424 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
425 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
426 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
427 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
428 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 429 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
430 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 431 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
432 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 433 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
434 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 435 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
436 classes.
7200e26c 437 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
438 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
439 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 440 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
441 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
442 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
443 control and browsing based on the current interface
444 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 445 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
446 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 447 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
448 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
449 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
450 group.
f4647930 451 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
452 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 453 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
454 detects that the printer is not connected to the
455 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
456 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
457 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
458 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 459 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
460 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 461 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
462 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 463 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
464 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 465 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
466 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 467 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
468 generated dependencies.
469 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 470 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
471 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
472 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 473 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
474 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
475 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 476 - The backends now read print data using the read()
477 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
478 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 479 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
480 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 481 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
482 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
483 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
484 printers and classes all at once.
485 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
486 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 487 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
488 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
489 value.
1c9c423b 490 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
491 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
492 other options as strings.
f918a565 493 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
494 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
495 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 496 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
497 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
498 option.
74cfdb8b 499 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
500 integers and ranges.
501 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
502 language support for CUPS.
503
504
ee8b7dd3 505CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
506
843779ef 507 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 508 attribute name length or string with language value
509 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 510 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
511 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
512 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 513 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 514 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
515 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 516 - MacOS X fixes.
517 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
518 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
519 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
520 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 521 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
522 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
523 it from waiting for the job to complete when
524 communicating with some IPP implementations that
525 require it.
526
527
d2503e02 528CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
529
28a96fe2 530 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
531 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 532 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
533 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
534 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 535 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
536 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
537 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
538 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
539 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 540 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
541 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
542 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
543 *.convs files.
db911fcb 544 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
545 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
546 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
547 goes away.
7c587866 548 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
549 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 550 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 551 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 552 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 553 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
554 portion of the printer name, and since it would
555 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
556 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 557 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
558 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 559 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
560 connections to improve performance/response time.
561 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
562 from Andrea Suatoni.
563 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
564 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
565 tools support.
566 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
567 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
568 existed.
569 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
570 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 571 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
572 page-set option.
873a6f43 573 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
574 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 575 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
576 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
577 etc.)
bd73c81f 578 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
579 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
580 listing for a printer.
581 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
582 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
583 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 584 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
585 values.
dd5f3453 586 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
587 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 588 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
589 - Updated the Italian message translations.
590 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
591 files.
592 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
593 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 594 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
595 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
596 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 597 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
598 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 599 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
600 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 601 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
602 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 603 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
604 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
605 classification level, if set. This way the original
606 banner settings are preserved when classification
607 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 608 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
609 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 610 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
611 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
612 system default group was not used.
613 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
614 send multiple control files.
615 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
616 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
617 for the "https" scheme.
618 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
619 from the web interface for accounts other than
620 "root".
621 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
622 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
623 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
624 address properly.
625 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
626 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
627 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
628 inside a Location, which is not valid.
629 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
630 information under Linux.
631 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
632 option (if present) in PPD files.
633 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
634 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
635 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
636 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
637 the lppasswd command.
638 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
639 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
640 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
641 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
642 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
643 directory and configuration files are owned by and
644 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
645 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
646 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
647 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
648 restarting cupsd.
649 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
650 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
651 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
652 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
653 for commands on the standard input.
654 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
655 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
656 pointer platforms...
657
658
659CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
660
661 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
662 files.
663 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
664 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
665 destination type for the new destination.
666 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
667 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
668 printer ACLs.
669 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
670 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
671 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
672 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
673 printer-make-and-model attribute.
674
675
676CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
677
678 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
679 files.
680 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
681 files.
682 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
683 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
684 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
685 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
686 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
687 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
688 the device list (lpinfo -m).
689 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
690 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
691 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
692 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
693 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
694 increment. [this caused some versions of the
695 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
696 options exceeded 100...]
697 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
698 was set to "No".
699 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
700 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
701 infinite loop when accepting a request.
702 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
703 functions to make IPP request/response processing
704 faster.
705 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
706 support properly support the "-h" or default
707 server name.
708 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
709 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
710 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
711 support printer instances.
712 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
713 underline formatting.
714 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
715 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
716 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
717 (-1).
718 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
719 from printing to printers in that class.
720 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
721 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
722 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
723 slower systems since more information had to be
724 transferred from server to client.
725 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
726 things like the job title. This had the potential for
727 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
728 machine); bug report from SuSE.
729 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
730 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
731 processing.
732 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
733 to stderr instead of stdout...
734 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
735 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
736 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
737 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
738 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
739 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
740 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
741 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
742 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
743 the Spanish banner files.
744 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
745 language abbreviation to use for all supported
746 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
747 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
748 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
749 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
750 anonymous printing (no username specified).
751 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
752 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
753 information when printing via LPD.
754 - Added many warning and informational messages
755 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
756 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
757 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
758 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
759 provided.
760 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
761 cupsd.conf.
762 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
763 32k.
764 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
765 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
766 possible.
767 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
768 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
769 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
770 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
771 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
772 long values.
773 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
774 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
775 to CGIs.
776 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
777 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
778 time.
779 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
780 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
781 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
782 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
783 result in a blank page being output...
784 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
785 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
786 page comments when printing files directly...)
787 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
788 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
789 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
790 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
791 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
792 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
793 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
794 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
795 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
796 original destination.
797 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
798 requested-attributes attribute in the
799 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
800 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
801 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
802 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
803 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
804 prints.
805
806
807CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
808
809 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
810 makefiles to install files properly.
811
812
813CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
814
815 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
816 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
817 to override the classification of individual jobs.
818 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
819 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
820 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
821 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
822 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
823 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
824 server.
825 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
826 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
827 with some types of flow control.
828 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
829 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
830 server.
831 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
832 lines in the configuration files.
833 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
834 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
835 from the server.
836 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
837 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
838 to the file: pseudo-backend.
839 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
840 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
841 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
842 script. Previously the job's document format was
843 used, which was incorrect.
844 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
845 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
846 "raw" model from the command-line.
847 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
848 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
849 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
850 printers.
851 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
852 Chinese text support compiled into it.
853 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
854 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
855 which caused some confusion... :)
856 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
857 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
858
859
860CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
861
862 - The configure script did not substitute the
863 correct user and group names.
864 - The configure script did not use the full path
865 to the install-sh script when it was used.
866 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
867 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
868 duplexing.
869 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
870 distribution.
871 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
872 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
873 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
874 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
875 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
876 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
877 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
878 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
879 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
880 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
881 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
882 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
883
884
885CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
886
887 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
888 approach for the various tests.
889 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
890 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
891 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
892 options to specify the default user and group for
893 CUPS.
894 - Added AIX shared library support.
895 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
896 parallel ports.
897 - Now use install program or script to install
898 directories, files, and symlinks.
899 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
900 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
901 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
902 print.
903 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
904 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
905 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
906 64-bit boundary.
907 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
908 skip the Digest keyword.
909 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
910 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
911 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
912 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
913 authentication from passwd.md5.
914 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
915 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
916 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
917 PPD files should start much faster now.
918 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
919 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
920 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
921 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
922 times.
923 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
924 code if an error occurred.
925 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
926 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
927 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
928 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
929 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
930 eliminates the buffer start bug.
931 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
932 the receiving device didn't support the copies
933 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
934 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
935 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
936 copies would come out instead of N.
937 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
938 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
939 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
940 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
941 output an even number of pages.
942 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
943 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
944 from being cancelled early.
945 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
946 instances, and options that are not defined by the
947 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
948 options from being used in individual user accounts.
949 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
950 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
951 "ESC i" graphics command.
952 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
953 printers to a local class.
954 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
955 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
956 - The scheduler did not load or save the
957 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
958 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
959 printers that were part of a class.
960 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
961 printer more than once.
962 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
963 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
964 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
965 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
966 account.
967 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
968 against a location of "/printers/name".
969 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
970 upgrades properly.
971 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
972 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
973 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
974 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
975 when using Digest authentication.
976 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
977 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
978 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
979 file.
980 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
981 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
982 server.
983 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
984 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
985 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
986 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
987 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
988 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
989 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
990 not the empty string.
991 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
992 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
993 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
994 unsupported attributes which should normally be
995 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
996 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
997 supported file types into the
998 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
999 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1000 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1001 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1002 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1003 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1004 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1005 or behave irratically.
1006 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1007 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1008 specified.
1009 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1010 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1011 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1012 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1013 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1014 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1015 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1016 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1017 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1018 location or description of the printer.
1019 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1020 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1021 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1022 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1023 multiple groups.
1024 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1025 Apache.
1026 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1027 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1028 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1029 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1030 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1031 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1032 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1033 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1034 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1035 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1036 Ghostscript code.
1037 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1038 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1039 size instead of percent of page size.)
1040 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1041 instead of root.
1042 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1043 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1044 size options.
1045 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1046 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1047 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1048 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1049 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1050 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1051 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1052 character.
1053
1054
1055CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1056
1057 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1058 package for pstoraster.
1059 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1060 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1061 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1062 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1063 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1064 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1065 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1066 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1067 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1068 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1069 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1070 history disabled.
1071 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1072 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1073 connections initially.
1074 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1075 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1076 throughout.
1077 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1078 Richard Begg.)
1079 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1080 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1081 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1082 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1083 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1084 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1085 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1086 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1087 #54489...
1088 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1089 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1090 (only affects page-label and Classification
1091 options.)
1092 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1093 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1094
1095
1096CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1097
1098 - Configuration script changes, including new
1099 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1100 documentation and web content according to your
1101 favorite version of the FHS.
1102 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1103 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1104 test CUPS prior to installation.
1105 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1106 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1107 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1108 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1109 directives.
1110 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1111 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1112 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1113 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1114 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1115 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1116 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1117 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1118 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1119 formats are supported at present.)
1120 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1121 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1122 all browsing off.
1123 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1124 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1125 document.
1126 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1127 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1128 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1129 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1130 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1131 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1132 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1133 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1134 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1135 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1136 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1137 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1138 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1139 server.
1140 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1141 PJL commands from PPD files.
1142 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1143 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1144 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1145 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1146 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1147 the next/current job in the queue.
1148 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1149 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1150 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1151 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1152 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1153 for Sun Raster images.
1154 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1155 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1156 function.
1157 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1158 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1159 command when printing to USB devices.
1160 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1161 the cupsd.conf file.
1162 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1163 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1164 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1165 /dev/urandom.
1166 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1167 httpGetSubField().
1168 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1169 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1170 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1171 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1172 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1173 CGI was currently running.
1174 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1175 option=true or option=false.
1176 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1177 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1178 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1179 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1180 could cause it to crash.
1181 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1182 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1183 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1184 attribute when altering a job.
1185 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1186 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1187 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1188 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1189 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1190 addresses.
1191 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1192 the current classification on each page.
1193 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1194 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1195 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1196 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1197 encryption.
1198 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1199 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1200 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1201 support instances.
1202 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1203 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1204 and should never be used in a production environment.
1205 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1206 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1207 interface.
1208 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1209 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1210 prevent caching of the results.
1211 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1212 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1213 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1214 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1215 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1216 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1217 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1218 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1219 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1220 submitted by a user.
1221 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1222 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1223 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1224 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1225 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1226 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1227 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1228 embedded spaces.
1229 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1230 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1231 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1232 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1233 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1234 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1235 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1236 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1237 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1238 by the GIMP.
1239 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1240 bypassed the authentication checks.
1241 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1242 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1243 a race condition between the client and server for the
1244 upgrade to TLS.
1245 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1246 the pstops filter.
1247 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1248 the custom page size in the raster header.
1249 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1250 size to the size of the printed image.
1251 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1252 which are required by some printers.
1253 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1254 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1255 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1256 DSC).
1257 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1258 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1259 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1260 driver.
1261 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1262 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1263 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1264 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1265 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1266 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1267 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1268 address this problem.
1269 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1270 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1271 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1272 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1273 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1274 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1275 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1276 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1277 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1278 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1279 to manage print jobs.
1280 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1281 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1282 of 0 length.
1283 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1284 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1285 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1286
1287
1288CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1289
1290 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1291 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1292 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1293 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1294 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1295 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1296 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1297 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1298 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1299 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1300 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1301 /dev/ulptN.
1302 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1303 classes it was a member of.
1304 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1305 implicit status of a class.
1306 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1307 from implicit classes.
1308 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1309 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1310 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1311 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1312 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1313 of the scheduler.
1314 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1315 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1316 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1317 the /#copies variable anymore.
1318 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1319 option.
1320 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1321 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1322 for a bad-request error)
1323 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1324 unimplemented, not invalid.
1325 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1326 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1327 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1328 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1329 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1330 (pstoraster).
1331 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1332 which are not used.
1333 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1334 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1335 cgi_initialize_string().
1336 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1337 ippSetCGIVars()
1338 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1339 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1340 leaks.
1341 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1342 fails.
1343 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1344 setuid() calls.
1345 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1346 calls.
1347 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1348 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1349 bad input.
1350 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1351 missing hex digits.
1352
1353
1354CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1355
1356 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1357 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1358 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1359 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1360 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1361 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1362 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1363 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1364 corruption on many printers)
1365 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1366 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1367 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1368 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1369 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1370 requests.
1371 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1372 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1373 was lost.
1374 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1375 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1376 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1377 to be used for a socket.
1378 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1379 a set were numeric or string types.
1380 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1381 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1382 reading *.conf files.
1383 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1384 same logic as GET requests.
1385 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1386 /index.html to requested directory name.
1387 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1388 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1389 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1390 instead of mode 0600.
1391 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1392 instead of 0600.
1393 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1394 system name in log filenames.
1395 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1396 and hex strings.
1397
1398
1399CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1400
1401 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1402 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1403 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1404
1405
1406CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1407
1408 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1409 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1410 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1411 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1412 filter programs properly.
1413 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1414 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1415 versions of GCC.
1416 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1417 cancelled in StartJob().
1418 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1419 written with restricted permissions.
1420 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1421 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1422 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1423 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1424 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1425 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1426 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1427 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1428 syslog file.
1429 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1430 and only specifies the document format if it is
1431 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1432 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1433 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1434 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1435 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1436 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1437 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1438 cancelled.
1439 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1440 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1441 sporatic web interface problems.
1442 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1443 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1444 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1445 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1446 whitespace.
1447 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1448 instead of an integer.
1449 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1450 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1451 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1452 and user-level access control.
1453 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1454 encryption.
1455 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1456 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1457 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1458 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1459 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1460 to the man page.
1461 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1462 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1463 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1464 queued for a printer.
1465 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1466 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1467 reporting.
1468
1469
1470CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1471
1472 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1473 code.
1474 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1475 check in backend/serial.c.
1476 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1477 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1478 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1479 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1480 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1481 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1482 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1483 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1484 anyways)
1485
1486
1487CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1488
1489 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1490 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1491 for run level 5.
1492 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1493 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1494 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1495 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1496 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1497 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1498 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1499
1500
1501CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1502
1503 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1504 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1505 access from the local system.
1506 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1507 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1508 - Documentation updates.
1509 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1510 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1511 RedHat or Mandrake.
1512 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1513 warnings.
1514 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1515 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1516 hex)
1517 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1518 crash the server.
1519 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1520 correct value length for name-with-language and
1521 text-with-language attributes.
1522 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1523 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1524 efficient IPP server performance.
1525 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1526 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1527 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1528 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1529 attack.
1530 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1531 data required when getting the list of printer or
1532 class information. This should improve performance
1533 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1534 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1535 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1536 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1537 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1538 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1539 override the lpoptions default printer.
1540 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1541 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1542 attributes.
1543 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1544 did not check for the correct value for collated
1545 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1546 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1547 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1548 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1549 scale mode 2.
1550 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1551 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1552 that started with a number.
1553 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1554 multiple times in name-with-language and
1555 text-with-language attributes.
1556 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1557 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1558 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1559 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1560 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1561 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1562 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1563 close the spool directory.
1564 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1565 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1566 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1567 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1568 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1569 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1570 larger than the source string; this protects
1571 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1572 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1573 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1574 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1575 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1576 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1577 remote printers.
1578 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1579 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1580 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1581 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1582 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1583 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1584 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1585 3-argument contains() function.
1586 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1587 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1588 database containing 0 printers.
1589 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1590 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1591 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1592 printer was always busy.
1593 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1594 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1595 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1596 jobs.
1597 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1598 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1599 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1600 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1601 57600 and 115200 baud.
1602 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1603 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1604 option in the device URI.
1605 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1606 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1607 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1608 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1609 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1610 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1611 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1612 job attributes to be changed.
1613 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1614 web interface.
1615 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1616 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1617 since they do not map)
1618 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1619 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1620 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1621 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1622 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1623 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1624 child signals while loading devices.
1625 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1626 and classes.
1627 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1628 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1629 driver dithering code.
1630 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1631 after the first active printer.
1632 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1633 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1634 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1635 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1636 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1637 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1638 accepted null values.
1639 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1640 of the backends.
1641 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1642 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1643 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1644 is set in the plot file.
1645 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1646 user name, causing it to always fail.
1647 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1648 under Windows.
1649 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1650 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1651 didn't handle control file job information in any
1652 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1653 a file.
1654 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1655 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1656 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1657 printing on some systems.
1658 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1659 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1660 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1661 it.
1662
1663
1664CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1665
1666 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1667 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1668 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1669 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1670 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1671 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1672 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1673 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1674 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1675 order, which prevented remote printing.
1676 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1677 IPP requests and language information when closing
1678 a client connection.
1679 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1680 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1681 compatibles)
1682 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1683 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1684 on many OS's.
1685 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1686 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1687 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1688 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1689 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1690 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1691 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1692 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1693 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1694 PPD files.
1695 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1696 when the destination printer supported it. This
1697 caused problems when printing text files to other
1698 CUPS servers.
1699 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1700 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1701 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1702 the dates.)
1703 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1704 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1705 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1706 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1707 be clipped.
1708
1709
1710CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1711
1712 - Makefile fixes.
1713 - RPM spec file changes.
1714 - Documentation updates.
1715 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1716 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1717 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1718 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1719 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1720 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1721 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1722 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1723 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1724 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1725 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1726 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1727 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1728 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1729 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1730 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1731 specified.
1732 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1733 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1734 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1735 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1736 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1737 cupsd.conf.
1738 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1739 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1740 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1741 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1742 filter mode 'l'.
1743 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1744 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1745 defaults for all print queues.
1746 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1747 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1748 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1749 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1750 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1751 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1752 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1753 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1754 printer was defined with the same name.
1755 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1756 remove options for a printer or instance.
1757 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1758 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1759 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1760 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1761 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1762 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1763 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1764 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1765 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1766 job-printer-uri attribute.
1767 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1768 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1769 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1770 remote printers.
1771 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1772 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1773 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1774 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1775 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1776 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1777 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1778 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1779 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1780 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1781 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1782 printer set using lpoptions.
1783 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1784 list the printer-specific options and their current
1785 settings.
1786 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1787 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1788 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1789 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1790 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1791 text printing.
1792 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1793 instances.
1794 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1795 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1796 limit.
1797 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1798 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1799 new client connections.
1800 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1801 required pagedevice parameters.
1802 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1803 under Linux.
1804 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1805 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1806 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1807 would stop processing.
1808 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1809 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1810 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1811 that was currently printing a job.
1812 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1813 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1814 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1815 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1816 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1817 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1818 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1819 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1820 option values separated by commas.
1821 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1822 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1823 and free bytes once a minute)
1824 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1825 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1826 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1827 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1828 printers.
1829 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1830 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1831 requests from that address to the server name.
1832 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1833 server.domain.com to localhost.
1834 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1835 the previous device and driver settings (except
1836 for serial ports.)
1837 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1838 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1839 after a job is completed when job file history is
1840 turned off.
1841 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1842 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1843 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1844 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1845 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1846 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1847 for "lpstat -v" output.
1848 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1849 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1850 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1851 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1852 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1853 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1854 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1855 by itself without quoting.
1856
1857
1858CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1859
1860 - Makefile/configure fixes
1861 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1862 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1863 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1864 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1865 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1866 number generator for certificates.
1867 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1868 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1869 the filter user, typically "lp".
1870 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1871 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1872 user.
1873 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1874 function.
1875 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1876 standard input.
1877 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1878 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1879 page header as needed.
1880 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1881 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1882 immediately when last-document was true.
1883 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1884 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1885 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1886 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1887 and many PS printers.
1888 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1889 filters.
1890 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1891 debugging problems.
1892 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1893 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1894 calling problem...)
1895 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1896 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1897 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1898 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1899 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1900 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1901 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1902 by default.
1903 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1904 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1905 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1906 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1907 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1908 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1909 CUPS software.
1910
1911
1912CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1913
1914 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1915 old PDF filter files.
1916 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1917 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1918 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1919 network devices.
1920 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1921 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1922 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1923 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1924 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1925 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1926 is defined otherwise.
1927 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1928 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1929 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1930 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1931 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1932 0-length PPD file was read.
1933 - The image filters were not handling images with
1934 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1935 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1936 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1937 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1938 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1939 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1940 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1941 documents if they don't have it.
1942 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1943 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1944 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1945 --prefix was specified.
1946 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1947 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1948 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1949 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1950 color mode until it can be fixed.
1951 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1952 correctly in all cases.
1953 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1954 time in banner files.
1955
1956
1957CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1958
1959 - Documentation updates.
1960 - Configuration script updates.
1961 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1962 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1963 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1964 ppd_file_t structure.
1965 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1966 before it was used.
1967 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1968 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1969 the localhost address.
1970 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1971 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1972 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1973 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1974 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1975 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1976 PDF support.
1977 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1978 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1979 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1980 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1981 pstoraster.
1982 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1983 the user.
1984 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1985 not running.
1986 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1987 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1988 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1989 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1990 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1991 setpagedevice operator.
1992 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1993 the default banner pages.
1994 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1995 "position" option.
1996 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1997 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1998 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1999 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2000 "printer@server") when possible.
2001 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2002 with no PageSize attributes.
2003 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2004 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2005 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2006 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2007 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2008 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2009 cupsd.
2010 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2011 locations.
2012 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2013 variables to specify installation directories as
2014 needed.
2015 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2016 when the scheduler is started.
2017 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2018 printer.
2019 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2020 printer are automatically deleted.
2021 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2022 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2023 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2024 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2025 request.
2026 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2027 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2028 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2029 is "no-hold".
2030 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2031 responses.
2032 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2033 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2034 printer.
2035 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2036 request fails.
2037 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2038 printer and class names.
2039 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2040 received in a POST request.
2041
2042
2043CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2044
2045 - Documentation updates.
2046 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2047 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2048 method.
2049 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2050 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2051 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2052 - Missing the job-restart template.
2053 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2054 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2055 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2056 not specified.
2057 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2058 from getting through.
2059 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2060 stderr.
2061 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2062 job name and display string, if supported.
2063 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2064 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2065 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2066 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2067 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2068 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2069 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2070 UTF-8...
2071 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2072 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2073 could cause cupsd to crash.
2074 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2075 crash.
2076 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2077 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2078 "HH:MM:SS".
2079 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2080 connection structure.
2081 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2082 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2083 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2084 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2085 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2086 is a potential security hole.
2087 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2088 new pstoraster.
2089 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2090 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2091 (/dev/usblp#)
2092 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2093 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2094 release.
2095
2096
2097CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2098
2099 - Documentation updates.
2100 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2101 now compile better under *BSD.)
2102 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2103 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2104 tray was selected.
2105 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2106 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2107 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2108 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2109 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2110 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2111 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2112 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2113 can handle.
2114 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2115 cause cupsd to crash.
2116 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2117 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2118 mime.types file.
2119 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2120 of file to be used as a banner.
2121 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2122 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2123 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2124 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2125 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2126 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2127 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2128 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2129 the IANA registrations.
2130 - New PostScript banner pages.
2131 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2132 filter.
2133 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2134 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2135 code.
2136 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2137 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2138 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2139 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2140 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2141 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2142 accurate width specification.
2143 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2144 files.
2145 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2146 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2147 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2148 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2149 that support it.
2150 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2151 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2152 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2153 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2154 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2155 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2156 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2157 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2158 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2159 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2160
2161
2162CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2163
2164 - Documentation updates.
2165 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2166 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2167 shell and Bash.
2168 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2169 code.
2170 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2171 manufacturer in the PPD.
2172 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2173 output attributes to be set.
2174 - Added banner page support.
2175 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2176 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2177 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2178 timezone offset.
2179 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2180 file is generated).
2181 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2182 printers when they became available.
2183 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2184 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2185 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2186 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2187 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2188 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2189 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2190 (override with -f)
2191 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2192 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2193 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2194 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2195 folks.
2196 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2197 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2198 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2199 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2200 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2201 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2202 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2203 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2204 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2205 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2206 languages (still only have templates for English)
2207 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2208 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2209 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2210 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2211 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2212 needed for some sites)
2213 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2214 templates.
2215 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2216 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2217 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2218 specific printer.
2219 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2220 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2221 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2222 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2223 authentication.
2224 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2225 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2226 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2227 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2228 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2229 filter.
2230 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2231 US-ASCII.
2232 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2233 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2234 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2235 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2236 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2237 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2238 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2239 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2240 basis without environment variables.
2241 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2242
2243
2244CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2245
2246 - Documentation updates.
2247 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2248 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2249 printer.
2250 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2251 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2252 distribution.
2253 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2254 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2255 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2256 to match the IPP spec.
2257 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2258 (previously they would be ignored)
2259 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2260 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2261 machines.
2262 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2263 and printer.
2264 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2265 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2266 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2267 BrowseRelay directives.
2268 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2269 still receives information on remote printers.
2270 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2271 networks)
2272 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2273 of PPD files.
2274 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2275 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2276 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2277 close their input files.

2298 was being used.
2299 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
