5edf6841 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
5
784a2f5f 6 - The lpadmin command displayed an incorrect error
7 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
8 arguments (STR #313)
7e0b0c8f 9 - The web admin interface did not display an error
10 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
5edf6841 11 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct
12 orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
13 #292)
14
15
4731c02f 16CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 17
6d8c10c5 18 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
19 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
20 printers that returned status info but were not ready
21 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 22 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
23 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
24 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
25 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 26 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
27 #289)
4731c02f 28 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 29 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
30 10.3 (STR #270)
31 - Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (STR #284)
aa7b8dba 32 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
33 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
34 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
35 very difficult (STR #277)
36 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
37 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
38 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 39 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
40 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
41 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
225b3683 42 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
43 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
44 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
45 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
46 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
47 language localization for a request; this caused extra
48 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
49 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
50 one language specified (STR #267)
51
52
3fc87a99 53CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
54
a782f61f 55 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
56 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
57 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 58 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
59 is 64 bits (STR #262)
0cd4970e 60 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
61 Hat (STR #253)
62 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
63 the standard constants when reporting printer status
64 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 65 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
66 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
67 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 68 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
69 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
70 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
71 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
72 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
73 URI (STR #247)
74 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
75 (STR #249)
76 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
77 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 78 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
79 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 80 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
81 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 82 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
83 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 84 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
85 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
86 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 87 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
88 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 89 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
90 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
91 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 92 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
93 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 94 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
95 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
96 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 97 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
98 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
99 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
100 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 101 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
102 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
103 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
104 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
105 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 106 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
107 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 108 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
109 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
110 (STR #209)
0c676a75 111 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
112 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 113 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
114 the user already had specified the proper orientation
115 (STR #207)
e5734f04 116 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 117 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
118 #193)
0372885f 119 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
120 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
121 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 122 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
123 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
124 programs rather than the port that the browser
125 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 126 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
127 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
128 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
129 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
130 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
131 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
132 files define the job-priority and
133 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 134 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
135 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 136 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
137 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
138 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
139 caused problems with some implementations of the
140 standard C library. (STR #159)
141 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
142 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 143 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
144 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 145 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
146 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
147 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
148 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 149 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
150 strings if the description string is not available
151 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 152 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
153 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
154 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
155 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
156 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 157 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
158 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
159 #147)
20bde6fb 160 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
161 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
162 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 163 - Printers with special characters in their names were
164 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 165 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
166 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
167 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
168 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
169 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 170 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
171 files did not get installed (STR #148)
172 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
173 without shared libraries (STR #149)
174 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
175 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 176 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
177 capability bit (STR #144)
178 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
179 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 180 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
181 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
182 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 183 #139)
184 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
185 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 186 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
187 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 188 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
189 command after the PJL language escape to work around
190 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
191 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
192 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 193 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 194 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 195
196
8dc4af74 197CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
198
a17e6548 199 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
200 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
201 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 202 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
203 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
204 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
205 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 206 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
207 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 208 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
209 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
210 #117)
211 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 212 - The configure script didn't specify the static
213 libraries properly when configuring with the
214 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 215 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
216 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
217 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 218 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
219 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 220 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
221
222
af57319f 223CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 224
1ed20df6 225 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
226 classes would get double banner pages for each
227 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 228 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
229 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 230 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
231 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
232 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 233 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
234 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
235 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
236 #70)
92498b68 237 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
238 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 239 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 240 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
241 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
242 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 243 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
244 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
245 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
246 annoying error message (STR #45)
247
248
2e6bce36 249CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 250
fb766c9e 251 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
252 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
253 #59)
d8b9e5fa 254 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
255 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 256 - The German web interface templates did not use the
257 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 258 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
259 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 260 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
261 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
262 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
263
264
e309e07a 265CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
266
b07e0cc2 267 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
268 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
269 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
270 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
271 user - STR #48)
b01791df 272 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
273 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 274 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
275 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 276 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
277 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
278 was handled (STR #47)
279 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
280 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
281 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 282 - The scheduler did not put the
283 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
284 attributes group.
285 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
286 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 287 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 288 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
289 and #39)
254aa207 290 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
291 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
292 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
293 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
294 requirements (STR #33)
295 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
296 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
297 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
298 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 299 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
300 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
301 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
302 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 303 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
304 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
305 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 306 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 307 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 308 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
309 Jacke)
310 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
311 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 312
313
b696f4e3 314CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
315
ac098b06 316 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
317 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
318 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
319 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
320 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 321 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
322 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 323 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 324 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
325 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
326 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 327 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
328 not work.
c8a55d2c 329 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
330 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
331 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
332 was not added to the collection value.
333 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
334 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 335 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
336 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
337 directives.
338 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
339 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
340 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 341 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
342 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 343 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
344 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
345 #13)
b696f4e3 346 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
347 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
348 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 349 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 350 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
351 message files such as those used for the job history
352 in /var/spool/cups.
353
354
fc7f6f69 355CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 356
265fb4a4 357 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
358 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 359 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
360 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
361 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
362 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
363 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
364 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 365 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 366 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
367 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 368 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
369 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
370 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 371 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
372 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 373 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
374 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
375 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
376 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 377 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
378 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
379 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
380 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
381 your locale.
5073e3f8 382 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
383 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
384 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 385 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
386 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 387 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
388 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
389 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
390 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
391 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 392 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
393 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 394 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
395 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
396 respectively) and has some additional changes to
397 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
398 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 399 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 400 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
401 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 402 - Added support for STATE: messages
403 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
404 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 405 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
406 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
407 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
408 root.
4d4fb342 409 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
410 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 411 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 412 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
413 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
414 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
415 information.
d40085f1 416 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
417 field.
dd9e85de 418 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
419 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
420 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
421 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
422 attribute to control whether job history data is
423 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
424 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
425 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 426 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
427 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 428 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
429 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
430 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 431 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
432 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
433 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
434 Kubla]
3f2fa036 435 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
436 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
437 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
438 sent. It now only references attributes that change
439 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
440 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
441 2k.
442 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
443 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
444 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 445 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
446 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 447 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
448 printer was available.
449 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
450 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
451 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 452 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
453 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 454 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
455 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
456 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 457 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
458 the image on the page when printing in landscape
459 orientation.
b3291c5a 460 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
461 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
462 and ManualFeed commands.
463 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
464 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 465 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
466 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
467 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
468 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
469 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 470 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
471 list of available devices, when it should have been
472 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 473 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
474 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 475 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
476 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 477 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
478 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
479 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
480 up...
2e32fcdb 481 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
482 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
483 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
484 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 485 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
486 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
487 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
488 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 489 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
490 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 491 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
492 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
493 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 494 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
495 variable under MacOS X.
496 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
497 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 498 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
499 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 500 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
501 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
502 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 503 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
504 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 505 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
506 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
507 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 508 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 509 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
510 sequence.
49d1718a 511 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
512 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 513 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 514 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
515 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 516 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
517 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 518 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
519 Apple.
8bd0441f 520 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
521 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 522 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
523 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
524 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
525 option.
526 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
527 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 528 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
529 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
530 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 531 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
532 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
533 via IPP.
edd85093 534 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
535 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 536 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
537 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 538 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
539 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
540 means that printers that don't report their serial
541 numbers in the device ID string will not be
542 individually selectable.
d0598693 543 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
544 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 545 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 546 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
547 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
548 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
549 the same.
550 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
551 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
552 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 553 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
554 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 555 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
556 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 557 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
558 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
559 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 560 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
561 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 562 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
563 an attribute definition.
de218675 564 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
565 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
566 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
567 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 568 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
569 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
570 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
571 situations. The warning message is now written no more
572 than once per minute.
67fa1315 573 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
574 PS RIPs.
320115a7 575 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
576 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
577 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 578 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
579 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
580 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
581 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
582 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
583 program or man page files.
584
585
759f5023 586CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
587
e38a7cef 588 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
589 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
590 write a job control file.
f63a430f 591 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
592 directive to control whether new printers can be added
593 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
594 default is to not allow printers with these device
595 URIs.
767ae392 596 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
597 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
598 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 599 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
600 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
601 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
602 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 603 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
604 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 605 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
606 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
607 attacks.
901b295d 608 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
609 interface.
610 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
611 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
612 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 613 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
614 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
615 the scheduler did not close the connections
616 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 617 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
618 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 619 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
620 back to its original at the end of a job; this
621 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
622 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 623 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
624 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 625 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
626 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
627 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
628 PPD files.
dcc2e394 629 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
630 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
631 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 632 - The web interface did not always report the correct
633 error message.
759f5023 634 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
635 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
636 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
637 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
638 process from returning.
639
640
3cc7bca4 641CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
642
5c826e17 643 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
644 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 645 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 646 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
647 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 648 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
649 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
650 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
651 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
652 ticket data.
653 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
654 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
655 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 656 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
657 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
658 group membership still requires the account name to be
659 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 660 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
661 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
662 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
663 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 664 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
665 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 666 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
667 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
668 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
669 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
670 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 671 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
672 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 673 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
674 caused by servers sending the status line and
675 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 676 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
677 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
678 empty.
78143282 679 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
680 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 681 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
682 Windows.
f33d1239 683 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
684 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 685 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
686 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
687 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 688 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
689 (interrupted system call) errors.
690 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
691 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
692 caused by the child signal handler.
693 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
694 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
695 error.
e1e31a38 696 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
697 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 698 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
699 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 700 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
701 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
702 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 703 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
704 properly localized time string.
549d1888 705 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
706 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
707 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 708 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
709 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 710 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
711 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
712 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
713 scheduler.
714 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
715 scheduler so that the printer object information is
716 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
717 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
718 queues.
854d3bb2 719 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
720 filename.
137d4d44 721 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
722 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
723 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
724 automatic form feed.
725 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 726 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
727 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 728 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
729 MacOS X.
730 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
731 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
732 has been removed.
733
734
06415a96 735CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
736
727e6d14 737 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
738 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
739 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
740 printer.
741 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
742 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 743 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
744 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
745 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 746 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
747 you can display completed jobs as well as
748 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 749 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
750 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
751 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 752 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
753 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
754 occurs.
db628f45 755 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
756 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 757 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
758 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
759 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
760 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
761 the page number.
da312e94 762 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
763 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 764 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 765 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
766 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
767 banner pages.
25037b2b 768 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
769 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
770 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 771 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 772 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
773 reliably.
a9219725 774 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
775 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
776 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
777 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 778 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
779 connection when sending an error that requires the
780 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
781 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
782 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 783 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
784 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
785 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
786 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 787 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
788 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
789 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
790 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 791 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
792 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 793 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
794 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 795 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
796 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 797 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
798 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 799 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
800 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
801 defines a circular filter rule.
802 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
803 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 804 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
805 files.
5ca43bfd 806 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
807 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 808 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
809 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
810 compatibility).
879062a9 811 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 812 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
813 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
814 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 815 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
816 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 817 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
818 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
819 shutdown.
098f80c5 820 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
821 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
822 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 823 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
824 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
825 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
826 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 827 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
828 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
829 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 830 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
831 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 832 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
833 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
834 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
835 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 836 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
837 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
838 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 839 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
840 connect to the remote server name in a
841 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
842 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
843 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
844 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 845 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
846 the program would try to print the option letter that
847 caused the error using the wrong index into the
848 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 849 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
850 attributes from printer options in
851 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 852 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
853 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 854 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 855 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
856 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 857 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
858 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
859 characters.
860 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
861 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
862 the language mode.
863 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
864 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
865 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
866 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
867 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 868 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 869 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
870 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 871 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
872 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 873 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
874 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
875 driver.
997cf8b0 876 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
877 the next available printer rather than waiting until
878 that printer is available.
879 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
880 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
881 printer class instead of a normal printer.
882 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
883 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
884 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 885 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
886 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
887 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
888 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 889 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
890 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
891 to accept connections.
892 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
893 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
894 and current directory.
895 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
896 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
897 into the file type database would no longer be valid
898 for existing jobs.
899 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
900 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
901 actually provided.
902 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 903 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
904 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 905 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
906 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 907 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
908 case-insensitive.
909 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
910 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 911 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
912 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
913 Solaris.
b91c8a76 914 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
915 printing banner pages.
4f759211 916 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 917 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
918 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 919 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
920 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 921 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
922 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
923 file.
8ce19460 924 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
925 description from member printers.
fabb006b 926 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
927 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 928 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 929 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
930 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 931 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
932 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 933 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
934 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
935 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 936 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
937 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
938 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
939 up...
19e7b382 940 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
941 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
942 authentication didn't work for administration
943 operations.
103abc03 944 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
945 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 946 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
947 interface to "localhost".
948 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
949 response to queue state commands, but those commands
950 only return textual data.
951
952
7680b71d 953CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
954
955 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
956 string function header, which is required on systems
957 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
958 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
959 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
960 have to.
961
962
74cfdb8b 963CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
964
dab1a4d8 965 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
966 license exception.
611e4623 967 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
968 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 969 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
970 option if none is provided to automatically select the
971 correct tray.
ed6078a4 972 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
973 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
974 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
975 options.
976 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
977 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
978 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 979 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
980 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
981 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
982 queues) on the server.
983 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
984 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
985 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
986 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 987 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
988 set definitions.
a319615f 989 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
990 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 991 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
992 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 993 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 994 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 995 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
996 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 997 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
998 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 999 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1000 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1001 comes from...
6df23e27 1002 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1003 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1004 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1005 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1006 using the default printer.
1007 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1008 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1009 to allow for longer printer names.
1010 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1011 history data.
1012 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1013 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1014 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1015 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1016 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1017 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1018 caused problems on some installations that would
1019 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1020 level 3.
1021 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1022 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1023 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1024 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1025 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1026 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1027 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1028 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1029 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1030 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1031 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1032 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1033 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1034 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1035 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1036 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1037 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1038 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1039 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1040 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1041 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1042 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1043 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1044 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1045 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1046 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1047 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1048 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1049 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1050 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1051 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1052 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1053 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1054 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1055 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1056 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1057 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1058 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1059 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1060 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1061 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1062 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1063 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1064 classes.
7200e26c 1065 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1066 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1067 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1068 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1069 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1070 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1071 control and browsing based on the current interface
1072 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1073 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1074 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1075 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1076 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1077 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1078 group.
f4647930 1079 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1080 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1081 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1082 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1083 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1084 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1085 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1086 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1087 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1088 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1089 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1090 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1091 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1092 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1093 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1094 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1095 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1096 generated dependencies.
1097 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1098 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1099 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1100 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1101 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1102 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1103 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1104 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1105 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1106 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1107 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1108 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1109 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1110 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1111 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1112 printers and classes all at once.
1113 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1114 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1115 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1116 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1117 value.
1c9c423b 1118 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1119 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1120 other options as strings.
f918a565 1121 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1122 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1123 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1124 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1125 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1126 option.
74cfdb8b 1127 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1128 integers and ranges.
1129 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1130 language support for CUPS.
1131
1132
ee8b7dd3 1133CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1134
843779ef 1135 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1136 attribute name length or string with language value
1137 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1138 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1139 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1140 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1141 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1142 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1143 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1144 - MacOS X fixes.
1145 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1146 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1147 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1148 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1149 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1150 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1151 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1152 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1153 require it.
1154
1155
d2503e02 1156CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1157
28a96fe2 1158 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1159 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1160 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1161 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1162 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1163 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1164 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1165 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1166 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1167 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1168 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1169 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1170 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1171 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1172 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1173 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1174 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1175 goes away.
7c587866 1176 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1177 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1178 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1179 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1180 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1181 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1182 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1183 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1184 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1185 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1186 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1187 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1188 connections to improve performance/response time.
1189 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1190 from Andrea Suatoni.
1191 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1192 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1193 tools support.
1194 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1195 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1196 existed.
1197 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1198 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1199 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1200 page-set option.
873a6f43 1201 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1202 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1203 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1204 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1205 etc.)
bd73c81f 1206 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1207 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1208 listing for a printer.
1209 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1210 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1211 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1212 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1213 values.
dd5f3453 1214 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1215 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1216 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1217 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1218 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1219 files.
1220 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1221 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1222 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1223 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1224 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1225 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1226 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1227 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1228 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1229 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1230 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1231 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1232 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1233 classification level, if set. This way the original
1234 banner settings are preserved when classification
1235 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1236 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1237 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1238 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1239 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1240 system default group was not used.
1241 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1242 send multiple control files.
1243 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1244 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1245 for the "https" scheme.
1246 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1247 from the web interface for accounts other than
1248 "root".
1249 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1250 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1251 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1252 address properly.
1253 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1254 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1255 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1256 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1257 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1258 information under Linux.
1259 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1260 option (if present) in PPD files.
1261 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1262 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1263 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1264 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1265 the lppasswd command.
1266 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1267 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1268 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1269 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1270 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1271 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1272 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1273 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1274 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1275 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1276 restarting cupsd.
1277 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1278 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1279 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1280 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1281 for commands on the standard input.
1282 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1283 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1284 pointer platforms...
1285
1286
1287CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1288
1289 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1290 files.
1291 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1292 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1293 destination type for the new destination.
1294 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1295 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1296 printer ACLs.
1297 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1298 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1299 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1300 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1301 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1302
1303
1304CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1305
1306 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1307 files.
1308 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1309 files.
1310 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1311 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1312 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1313 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1314 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1315 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1316 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1317 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1318 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1319 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1320 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1321 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1322 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1323 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1324 options exceeded 100...]
1325 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1326 was set to "No".
1327 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1328 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1329 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1330 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1331 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1332 faster.
1333 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1334 support properly support the "-h" or default
1335 server name.
1336 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1337 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1338 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1339 support printer instances.
1340 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1341 underline formatting.
1342 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1343 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1344 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1345 (-1).
1346 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1347 from printing to printers in that class.
1348 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1349 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1350 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1351 slower systems since more information had to be
1352 transferred from server to client.
1353 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1354 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1355 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1356 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1357 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1358 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1359 processing.
1360 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1361 to stderr instead of stdout...
1362 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1363 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1364 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1365 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1366 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1367 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1368 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1369 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1370 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1371 the Spanish banner files.
1372 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1373 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1374 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1375 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1376 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1377 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1378 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1379 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1380 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1381 information when printing via LPD.
1382 - Added many warning and informational messages
1383 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1384 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1385 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1386 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1387 provided.
1388 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1389 cupsd.conf.
1390 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1391 32k.
1392 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1393 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1394 possible.
1395 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1396 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1397 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1398 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1399 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1400 long values.
1401 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1402 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1403 to CGIs.
1404 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1405 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1406 time.
1407 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1408 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1409 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1410 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1411 result in a blank page being output...
1412 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1413 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1414 page comments when printing files directly...)
1415 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1416 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1417 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1418 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1419 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1420 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1421 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1422 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1423 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1424 original destination.
1425 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1426 requested-attributes attribute in the
1427 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1428 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1429 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1430 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1431 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1432 prints.
1433
1434
1435CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1436
1437 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1438 makefiles to install files properly.
1439
1440
1441CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1442
1443 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1444 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1445 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1446 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1447 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1448 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1449 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1450 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1451 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1452 server.
1453 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1454 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1455 with some types of flow control.
1456 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1457 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1458 server.
1459 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1460 lines in the configuration files.
1461 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1462 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1463 from the server.
1464 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1465 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1466 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1467 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1468 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1469 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1470 script. Previously the job's document format was
1471 used, which was incorrect.
1472 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1473 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1474 "raw" model from the command-line.
1475 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1476 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1477 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1478 printers.
1479 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1480 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1481 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1482 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1483 which caused some confusion... :)
1484 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1485 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1486
1487
1488CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1489
1490 - The configure script did not substitute the
1491 correct user and group names.
1492 - The configure script did not use the full path
1493 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1494 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1495 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1496 duplexing.
1497 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1498 distribution.
1499 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1500 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1501 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1502 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1503 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1504 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1505 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1506 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1507 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1508 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1509 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1510 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1511
1512
1513CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1514
1515 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1516 approach for the various tests.
1517 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1518 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1519 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1520 options to specify the default user and group for
1521 CUPS.
1522 - Added AIX shared library support.
1523 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1524 parallel ports.
1525 - Now use install program or script to install
1526 directories, files, and symlinks.
1527 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1528 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1529 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1530 print.
1531 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1532 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1533 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1534 64-bit boundary.
1535 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1536 skip the Digest keyword.
1537 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1538 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1539 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1540 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1541 authentication from passwd.md5.
1542 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1543 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1544 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1545 PPD files should start much faster now.
1546 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1547 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1548 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1549 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1550 times.
1551 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1552 code if an error occurred.
1553 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1554 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1555 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1556 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1557 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1558 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1559 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1560 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1561 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1562 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1563 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1564 copies would come out instead of N.
1565 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1566 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1567 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1568 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1569 output an even number of pages.
1570 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1571 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1572 from being cancelled early.
1573 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1574 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1575 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1576 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1577 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1578 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1579 "ESC i" graphics command.
1580 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1581 printers to a local class.
1582 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1583 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1584 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1585 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1586 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1587 printers that were part of a class.
1588 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1589 printer more than once.
1590 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1591 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1592 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1593 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1594 account.
1595 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1596 against a location of "/printers/name".
1597 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1598 upgrades properly.
1599 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1600 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1601 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1602 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1603 when using Digest authentication.
1604 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1605 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1606 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1607 file.
1608 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1609 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1610 server.
1611 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1612 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1613 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1614 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1615 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1616 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1617 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1618 not the empty string.
1619 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1620 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1621 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1622 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1623 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1624 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1625 supported file types into the
1626 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1627 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1628 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1629 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1630 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1631 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1632 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1633 or behave irratically.
1634 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1635 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1636 specified.
1637 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1638 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1639 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1640 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1641 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1642 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1643 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1644 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1645 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1646 location or description of the printer.
1647 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1648 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1649 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1650 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1651 multiple groups.
1652 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1653 Apache.
1654 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1655 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1656 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1657 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1658 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1659 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1660 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1661 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1662 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1663 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1664 Ghostscript code.
1665 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1666 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1667 size instead of percent of page size.)
1668 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1669 instead of root.
1670 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1671 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1672 size options.
1673 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1674 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1675 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1676 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1677 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1678 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1679 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1680 character.
1681
1682
1683CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1684
1685 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1686 package for pstoraster.
1687 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1688 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1689 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1690 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1691 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1692 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1693 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1694 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1695 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1696 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1697 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1698 history disabled.
1699 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1700 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1701 connections initially.
1702 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1703 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1704 throughout.
1705 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1706 Richard Begg.)
1707 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1708 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1709 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1710 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1711 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1712 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1713 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1714 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1715 #54489...
1716 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1717 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1718 (only affects page-label and Classification
1719 options.)
1720 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1721 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1722
1723
1724CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1725
1726 - Configuration script changes, including new
1727 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1728 documentation and web content according to your
1729 favorite version of the FHS.
1730 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1731 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1732 test CUPS prior to installation.
1733 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1734 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1735 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1736 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1737 directives.
1738 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1739 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1740 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1741 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1742 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1743 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1744 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1745 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1746 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1747 formats are supported at present.)
1748 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1749 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1750 all browsing off.
1751 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1752 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1753 document.
1754 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1755 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1756 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1757 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1758 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1759 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1760 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1761 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1762 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1763 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1764 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1765 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1766 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1767 server.
1768 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1769 PJL commands from PPD files.
1770 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1771 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1772 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1773 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1774 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1775 the next/current job in the queue.
1776 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1777 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1778 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1779 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1780 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1781 for Sun Raster images.
1782 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1783 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1784 function.
1785 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1786 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1787 command when printing to USB devices.
1788 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1789 the cupsd.conf file.
1790 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1791 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1792 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1793 /dev/urandom.
1794 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1795 httpGetSubField().
1796 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1797 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1798 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1799 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1800 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1801 CGI was currently running.
1802 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1803 option=true or option=false.
1804 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1805 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1806 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1807 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1808 could cause it to crash.
1809 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1810 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1811 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1812 attribute when altering a job.
1813 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1814 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1815 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1816 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1817 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1818 addresses.
1819 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1820 the current classification on each page.
1821 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1822 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1823 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1824 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1825 encryption.
1826 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1827 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1828 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1829 support instances.
1830 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1831 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1832 and should never be used in a production environment.
1833 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1834 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1835 interface.
1836 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1837 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1838 prevent caching of the results.
1839 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1840 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1841 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1842 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1843 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1844 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1845 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1846 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1847 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1848 submitted by a user.
1849 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1850 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1851 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1852 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1853 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1854 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1855 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1856 embedded spaces.
1857 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1858 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1859 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1860 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1861 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1862 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1863 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1864 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1865 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1866 by the GIMP.
1867 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1868 bypassed the authentication checks.
1869 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1870 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1871 a race condition between the client and server for the
1872 upgrade to TLS.
1873 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1874 the pstops filter.
1875 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1876 the custom page size in the raster header.
1877 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1878 size to the size of the printed image.
1879 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1880 which are required by some printers.
1881 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1882 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1883 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1884 DSC).
1885 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1886 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1887 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1888 driver.
1889 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1890 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1891 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1892 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1893 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1894 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1895 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1896 address this problem.
1897 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1898 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1899 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1900 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1901 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1902 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1903 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1904 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1905 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1906 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1907 to manage print jobs.
1908 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1909 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1910 of 0 length.
1911 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1912 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1913 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1914
1915
1916CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1917
1918 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1919 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1920 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1921 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1922 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1923 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1924 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1925 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1926 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1927 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1928 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1929 /dev/ulptN.
1930 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1931 classes it was a member of.
1932 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1933 implicit status of a class.
1934 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1935 from implicit classes.
1936 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1937 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1938 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1939 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1940 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1941 of the scheduler.
1942 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1943 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1944 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1945 the /#copies variable anymore.
1946 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1947 option.
1948 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1949 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1950 for a bad-request error)
1951 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1952 unimplemented, not invalid.
1953 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1954 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1955 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1956 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1957 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1958 (pstoraster).
1959 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1960 which are not used.
1961 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1962 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1963 cgi_initialize_string().
1964 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1965 ippSetCGIVars()
1966 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1967 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1968 leaks.
1969 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1970 fails.
1971 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1972 setuid() calls.
1973 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1974 calls.
1975 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1976 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1977 bad input.
1978 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1979 missing hex digits.
1980
1981
1982CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1983
1984 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1985 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1986 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1987 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1988 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1989 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1990 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1991 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1992 corruption on many printers)
1993 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1994 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1995 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1996 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1997 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1998 requests.
1999 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2000 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2001 was lost.
2002 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2003 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2004 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2005 to be used for a socket.
2006 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2007 a set were numeric or string types.
2008 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2009 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2010 reading *.conf files.
2011 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2012 same logic as GET requests.
2013 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2014 /index.html to requested directory name.
2015 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2016 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2017 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2018 instead of mode 0600.
2019 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2020 instead of 0600.
2021 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2022 system name in log filenames.
2023 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2024 and hex strings.
2025
2026
2027CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2028
2029 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2030 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2031 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2032
2033
2034CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2035
2036 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2037 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2038 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2039 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2040 filter programs properly.
2041 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2042 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2043 versions of GCC.
2044 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2045 cancelled in StartJob().
2046 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2047 written with restricted permissions.
2048 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2049 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2050 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2051 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2052 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2053 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2054 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2055 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2056 syslog file.
2057 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2058 and only specifies the document format if it is
2059 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2060 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2061 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2062 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2063 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2064 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2065 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2066 cancelled.
2067 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2068 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2069 sporatic web interface problems.
2070 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2071 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2072 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2073 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2074 whitespace.
2075 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2076 instead of an integer.
2077 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2078 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2079 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2080 and user-level access control.
2081 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2082 encryption.
2083 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2084 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2085 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2086 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2087 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2088 to the man page.
2089 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2090 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2091 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2092 queued for a printer.
2093 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2094 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2095 reporting.
2096
2097
2098CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2099
2100 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2101 code.
2102 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2103 check in backend/serial.c.
2104 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2105 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2106 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2107 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2108 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2109 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2110 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2111 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2112 anyways)
2113
2114
2115CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2116
2117 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2118 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2119 for run level 5.
2120 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2121 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2122 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2123 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2124 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2125 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2126 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2127
2128
2129CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2130
2131 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2132 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2133 access from the local system.
2134 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2135 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2136 - Documentation updates.
2137 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2138 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2139 RedHat or Mandrake.
2140 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2141 warnings.
2142 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2143 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2144 hex)
2145 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2146 crash the server.
2147 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2148 correct value length for name-with-language and
2149 text-with-language attributes.
2150 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2151 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2152 efficient IPP server performance.
2153 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2154 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2155 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2156 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2157 attack.
2158 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2159 data required when getting the list of printer or
2160 class information. This should improve performance
2161 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2162 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2163 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2164 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2165 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2166 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2167 override the lpoptions default printer.
2168 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2169 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2170 attributes.
2171 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2172 did not check for the correct value for collated
2173 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2174 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2175 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2176 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2177 scale mode 2.
2178 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2179 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2180 that started with a number.
2181 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2182 multiple times in name-with-language and
2183 text-with-language attributes.
2184 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2185 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2186 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2187 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2188 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2189 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2190 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2191 close the spool directory.
2192 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2193 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2194 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2195 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2196 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2197 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2198 larger than the source string; this protects
2199 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2200 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2201 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2202 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2203 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2204 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2205 remote printers.
2206 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2207 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2208 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2209 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2210 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2211 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2212 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2213 3-argument contains() function.
2214 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2215 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2216 database containing 0 printers.
2217 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2218 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2219 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2220 printer was always busy.
2221 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2222 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2223 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2224 jobs.
2225 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2226 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2227 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2228 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2229 57600 and 115200 baud.
2230 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2231 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2232 option in the device URI.
2233 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2234 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2235 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2236 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2237 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2238 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2239 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2240 job attributes to be changed.
2241 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2242 web interface.
2243 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2244 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2245 since they do not map)
2246 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2247 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2248 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2249 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2250 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2251 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2252 child signals while loading devices.
2253 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2254 and classes.
2255 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2256 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2257 driver dithering code.
2258 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2259 after the first active printer.
2260 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2261 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2262 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2263 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2264 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2265 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2266 accepted null values.
2267 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2268 of the backends.
2269 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2270 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2271 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2272 is set in the plot file.
2273 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2274 user name, causing it to always fail.
2275 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2276 under Windows.
2277 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2278 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2279 didn't handle control file job information in any
2280 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2281 a file.
2282 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2283 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2284 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2285 printing on some systems.
2286 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2287 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2288 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2289 it.
2290
2291
2292CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2293
2294 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2295 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2296 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2297 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2298 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2299 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2300 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2301 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2302 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2303 order, which prevented remote printing.
2304 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2305 IPP requests and language information when closing
2306 a client connection.
2307 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2308 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2309 compatibles)
2310 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2311 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2312 on many OS's.
2313 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2314 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2315 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2316 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2317 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2318 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2319 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2320 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2321 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2322 PPD files.
2323 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2324 when the destination printer supported it. This
2325 caused problems when printing text files to other
2326 CUPS servers.
2327 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2328 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2329 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2330 the dates.)
2331 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2332 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2333 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2334 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2335 be clipped.
2336
2337
2338CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2339
2340 - Makefile fixes.
2341 - RPM spec file changes.
2342 - Documentation updates.
2343 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2344 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2345 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2346 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2347 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2348 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2349 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2350 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2351 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2352 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2353 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2354 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2355 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2356 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2357 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2358 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2359 specified.
2360 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2361 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2362 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2363 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2364 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2365 cupsd.conf.
2366 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2367 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2368 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2369 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2370 filter mode 'l'.
2371 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2372 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2373 defaults for all print queues.
2374 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2375 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2376 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2377 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2378 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2379 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2380 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2381 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2382 printer was defined with the same name.
2383 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2384 remove options for a printer or instance.
2385 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2386 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2387 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2388 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2389 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2390 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2391 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2392 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2393 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2394 job-printer-uri attribute.
2395 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2396 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2397 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2398 remote printers.
2399 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2400 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2401 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2402 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2403 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2404 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2405 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2406 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2407 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2408 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2409 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2410 printer set using lpoptions.
2411 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2412 list the printer-specific options and their current
2413 settings.
2414 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2415 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2416 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2417 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2418 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2419 text printing.
2420 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2421 instances.
2422 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2423 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2424 limit.
2425 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2426 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2427 new client connections.
2428 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2429 required pagedevice parameters.
2430 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2431 under Linux.
2432 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2433 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2434 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2435 would stop processing.
2436 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2437 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2438 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2439 that was currently printing a job.
2440 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2441 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2442 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2443 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2444 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2445 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2446 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2447 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2448 option values separated by commas.
2449 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2450 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2451 and free bytes once a minute)
2452 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2453 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2454 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2455 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2456 printers.
2457 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2458 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2459 requests from that address to the server name.
2460 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2461 server.domain.com to localhost.
2462 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2463 the previous device and driver settings (except
2464 for serial ports.)
2465 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2466 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2467 after a job is completed when job file history is
2468 turned off.
2469 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2470 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2471 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2472 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2473 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2474 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2475 for "lpstat -v" output.
2476 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2477 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2478 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2479 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2480 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2481 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2482 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2483 by itself without quoting.
2484
2485
2486CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2487
2488 - Makefile/configure fixes
2489 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2490 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2491 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2492 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2493 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2494 number generator for certificates.
2495 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2496 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2497 the filter user, typically "lp".
2498 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2499 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2500 user.
2501 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2502 function.
2503 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2504 standard input.
2505 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2506 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2507 page header as needed.
2508 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2509 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2510 immediately when last-document was true.
2511 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2512 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2513 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2514 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2515 and many PS printers.
2516 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2517 filters.
2518 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2519 debugging problems.
2520 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2521 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2522 calling problem...)
2523 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2524 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2525 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2526 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2527 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2528 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2529 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2530 by default.
2531 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2532 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2533 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2534 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2535 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2536 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2537 CUPS software.
2538
2539
2540CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2541
2542 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2543 old PDF filter files.
2544 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2545 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2546 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2547 network devices.
2548 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2549 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2550 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2551 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2552 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2553 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2554 is defined otherwise.
2555 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2556 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2557 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2558 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2559 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2560 0-length PPD file was read.
2561 - The image filters were not handling images with
2562 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2563 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2564 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2565 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2566 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2567 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2568 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2569 documents if they don't have it.
2570 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2571 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2572 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2573 --prefix was specified.
2574 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2575 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2576 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2577 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2578 color mode until it can be fixed.
2579 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2580 correctly in all cases.
2581 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2582 time in banner files.
2583
2584
2585CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2586
2587 - Documentation updates.
2588 - Configuration script updates.
2589 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2590 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2591 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2592 ppd_file_t structure.
2593 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2594 before it was used.
2595 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2596 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2597 the localhost address.
2598 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2599 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2600 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2601 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2602 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2603 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2604 PDF support.
2605 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2606 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2607 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2608 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2609 pstoraster.
2610 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2611 the user.
2612 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2613 not running.
2614 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2615 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2616 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2617 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2618 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2619 setpagedevice operator.
2620 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2621 the default banner pages.
2622 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2623 "position" option.
2624 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2625 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2626 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2627 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2628 "printer@server") when possible.
2629 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2630 with no PageSize attributes.
2631 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2632 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2633 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2634 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2635 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2636 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2637 cupsd.
2638 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2639 locations.
2640 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2641 variables to specify installation directories as
2642 needed.
2643 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2644 when the scheduler is started.
2645 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2646 printer.
2647 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2648 printer are automatically deleted.
2649 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2650 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2651 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2652 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2653 request.
2654 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2655 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2656 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2657 is "no-hold".
2658 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2659 responses.
2660 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2661 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2662 printer.
2663 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2664 request fails.
2665 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2666 printer and class names.
2667 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2668 received in a POST request.
2669
2670
2671CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2672
2673 - Documentation updates.
2674 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2675 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2676 method.
2677 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2678 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2679 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2680 - Missing the job-restart template.
2681 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2682 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2683 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2684 not specified.
2685 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2686 from getting through.
2687 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2688 stderr.
2689 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2690 job name and display string, if supported.
2691 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2692 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2693 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2694 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2695 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2696 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2697 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2698 UTF-8...
2699 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2700 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2701 could cause cupsd to crash.
2702 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2703 crash.
2704 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2705 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2706 "HH:MM:SS".
2707 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2708 connection structure.
2709 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2710 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2711 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2712 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2713 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2714 is a potential security hole.
2715 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2716 new pstoraster.
2717 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2718 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2719 (/dev/usblp#)
2720 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2721 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2722 release.
2723
2724
2725CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2726
2727 - Documentation updates.
2728 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2729 now compile better under *BSD.)
2730 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2731 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2732 tray was selected.
2733 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2734 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2735 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2736 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2737 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2738 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2739 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2740 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2741 can handle.
2742 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2743 cause cupsd to crash.
2744 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2745 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2746 mime.types file.
2747 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2748 of file to be used as a banner.
2749 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2750 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2751 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2752 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2753 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2754 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2755 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2756 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2757 the IANA registrations.
2758 - New PostScript banner pages.
2759 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2760 filter.
2761 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2762 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2763 code.
2764 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2765 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2766 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2767 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2768 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2769 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2770 accurate width specification.
2771 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2772 files.
2773 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2774 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2775 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2776 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2777 that support it.
2778 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2779 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2780 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2781 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2782 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2783 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2784 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2785 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2786 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2787 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2788
2789
2790CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2791
2792 - Documentation updates.
2793 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2794 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2795 shell and Bash.
2796 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2797 code.
2798 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2799 manufacturer in the PPD.
2800 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2801 output attributes to be set.
2802 - Added banner page support.
2803 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2804 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2805 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2806 timezone offset.
2807 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2808 file is generated).
2809 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2810 printers when they became available.
2811 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2812 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2813 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2814 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2815 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2816 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2817 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2818 (override with -f)
2819 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2820 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2821 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2822 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2823 folks.
2824 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2825 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2826 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2827 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2828 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2829 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2830 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2831 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2832 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2833 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2834 languages (still only have templates for English)
2835 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2836 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2837 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2838 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2839 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2840 needed for some sites)
2841 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2842 templates.
2843 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2844 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2845 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2846 specific printer.
2847 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2848 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2849 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2850 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2851 authentication.
2852 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2853 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2854 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2855 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2856 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2857 filter.
2858 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2859 US-ASCII.
2860 - Fixed PDF printing problems.

2879 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2880 distribution.
2881 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending

2883 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2884 to match the IPP spec.
