3cc7bca4 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
5
854d3bb2 6 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
7 filename.
137d4d44 8 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
9 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
10 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
11 automatic form feed.
12 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 13 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
14 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 15 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
16 MacOS X.
17 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
18 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
19 has been removed.

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

2010
2011
2012CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2013
2014 - Documentation updates.
2015 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2016 now compile better under *BSD.)
2017 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2018 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2019 tray was selected.
2020 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2021 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2022 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2023 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2024 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2025 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2026 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2027 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2028 can handle.
2029 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2030 cause cupsd to crash.
2031 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2032 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2033 mime.types file.
2034 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2035 of file to be used as a banner.
2036 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2037 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2038 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2039 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2040 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2041 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2042 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2043 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2044 the IANA registrations.
2045 - New PostScript banner pages.
2046 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2047 filter.
2048 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2049 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2050 code.
2051 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2052 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2053 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2054 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2055 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2056 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2057 accurate width specification.
2058 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2059 files.
2060 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2061 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2062 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2063 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2064 that support it.
2065 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2066 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2067 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2068 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2069 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2070 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2071 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2072 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2073 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2074 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2075
2076
2077CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2078
2079 - Documentation updates.
2080 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2081 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2082 shell and Bash.
2083 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2084 code.
2085 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2086 manufacturer in the PPD.
2087 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2088 output attributes to be set.
2089 - Added banner page support.
2090 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2091 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2092 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2093 timezone offset.
2094 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2095 file is generated).
2096 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2097 printers when they became available.
2098 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2099 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2100 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2101 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2102 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2103 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2104 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2105 (override with -f)
2106 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2107 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2108 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2109 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2110 folks.
2111 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2112 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2113 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2114 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2115 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2116 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2117 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2118 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2119 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2120 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2121 languages (still only have templates for English)
2122 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2123 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2124 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2125 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2126 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2127 needed for some sites)
2128 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2129 templates.
2130 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2131 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2132 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2133 specific printer.
2134 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2135 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2136 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2137 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2138 authentication.
2139 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2140 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2141 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2142 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2143 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2144 filter.
2145 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2146 US-ASCII.
2147 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2148 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2149 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2150 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2151 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2152 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2153 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2154 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2155 basis without environment variables.
2156 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2157
2158
2159CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2160
2161 - Documentation updates.
2162 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2163 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2164 printer.
2165 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2166 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2167 distribution.
2168 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2169 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2170 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2171 to match the IPP spec.
2172 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2173 (previously they would be ignored)
2174 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.

2176 machines.
2177 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2178 and printer.
2179 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2180 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2181 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2182 BrowseRelay directives.
2183 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2184 still receives information on remote printers.
2185 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2186 networks)
2187 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2188 of PPD files.
2189 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2190 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2191 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2192 close their input files.
