152 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
153 size (STR #454)
154 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the

186 pages on printers that did not do their own collated
187 copies (STR #389)
188 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
189 #430)

194 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
4f6178db 195 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and

205 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
206 character, which is not required by the Base64
207 encoding specification (STR #407)
52a9a175 208 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
209 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
210 IRIX (STR #422)
211 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
212 to be consistent with the way other signals are
213 handled (STR #423)

0ab349a5 228
a4bcc023 229 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
230 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
d68320d4 231 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
232 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
233 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in

235 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
236 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
237 defined PageSize (STR #365)

250 the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
251 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
d16f87bc 252 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
253 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
254 #354)
66f81e44 255 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call

275
0669cbc7 276CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
277
278 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
279 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
280 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
281 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
282 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
283 names, which caused some problems with the generated
284 URLs (STR #320)
285 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
286 option (STR #331)
287

301 #292)
302
303
4731c02f 304CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 305
6d8c10c5 306 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
307 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
308 printers that returned status info but were not ready
309 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 310 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
311 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
312 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
313 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 314 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
315 #289)
4731c02f 316 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 317 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X

322 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
323 very difficult (STR #277)
324 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
325 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
326 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 327 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,

333 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
334 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
335 language localization for a request; this caused extra
336 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
337 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
338 one language specified (STR #267)
339
340
3fc87a99 341CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
342
a782f61f 343 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
344 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
345 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 346 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
347 is 64 bits (STR #262)

349 Hat (STR #253)
350 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
351 the standard constants when reporting printer status
352 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 353 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
354 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
355 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 356 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
357 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
358 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
359 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
360 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
361 URI (STR #247)
362 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
363 (STR #249)
364 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
365 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 366 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
367 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 368 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
369 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 370 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
371 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 372 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
373 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
374 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 375 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
376 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 377 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
378 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file

381 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 382 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
383 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
384 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 385 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
386 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
387 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
388 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 389 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
390 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
391 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
392 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
393 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 394 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
395 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 396 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
397 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
398 (STR #209)
0c676a75 399 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
400 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 401 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
402 the user already had specified the proper orientation
403 (STR #207)
e5734f04 404 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 405 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
406 #193)
0372885f 407 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
408 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
409 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 410 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
411 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
412 programs rather than the port that the browser
413 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 414 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
415 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
416 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
417 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
418 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
419 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
420 files define the job-priority and
421 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 422 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
423 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 424 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
425 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
426 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
427 caused problems with some implementations of the
428 standard C library. (STR #159)
429 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
430 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 431 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
432 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 433 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
434 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
435 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
436 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 437 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
438 strings if the description string is not available
439 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 440 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
441 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
442 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
443 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
444 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 445 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
446 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
447 #147)

454 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
455 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
456 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
457 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 458 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
459 files did not get installed (STR #148)
460 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
461 without shared libraries (STR #149)
462 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
463 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 464 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
465 capability bit (STR #144)
466 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
467 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 468 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
469 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
470 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 471 #139)
472 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
473 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 474 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
475 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 476 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
477 command after the PJL language escape to work around
478 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
479 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
480 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 481 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 482 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 483
484
8dc4af74 485CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
486
a17e6548 487 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
488 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
489 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 490 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
491 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
492 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
493 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 494 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
495 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 496 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
497 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
498 #117)
499 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 500 - The configure script didn't specify the static
501 libraries properly when configuring with the
502 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 503 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
504 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
505 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 506 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
507 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 508 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
509
510
af57319f 511CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 512
1ed20df6 513 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
514 classes would get double banner pages for each
515 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 516 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
517 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 518 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
519 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
520 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 521 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
522 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
523 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
524 #70)
92498b68 525 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
526 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 527 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 528 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
529 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
530 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 531 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
532 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
533 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
534 annoying error message (STR #45)
535
536
2e6bce36 537CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 538
fb766c9e 539 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
540 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
541 #59)
d8b9e5fa 542 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
543 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 544 - The German web interface templates did not use the
545 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 546 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
547 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 548 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
549 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
550 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
551
552
e309e07a 553CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
554
b07e0cc2 555 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
556 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
557 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
558 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
559 user - STR #48)
b01791df 560 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
561 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 562 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
563 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 564 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
565 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
566 was handled (STR #47)
567 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
568 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
569 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 570 - The scheduler did not put the
571 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
572 attributes group.
573 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
574 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 575 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 576 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
577 and #39)
254aa207 578 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
579 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
580 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
581 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
582 requirements (STR #33)
583 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
584 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
585 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
586 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 587 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
588 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
589 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
590 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 591 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
592 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
593 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 594 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 595 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 596 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
597 Jacke)
598 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
599 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 600
601
b696f4e3 602CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
603
ac098b06 604 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
605 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
606 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
607 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
608 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 609 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
610 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 611 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 612 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
613 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
614 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 615 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
616 not work.
c8a55d2c 617 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
618 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
619 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
620 was not added to the collection value.
621 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
622 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 623 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
624 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
625 directives.
626 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
627 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
628 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 629 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
630 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 631 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
632 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
633 #13)
b696f4e3 634 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
635 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
636 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 637 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 638 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
639 message files such as those used for the job history
640 in /var/spool/cups.
641
642
fc7f6f69 643CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 644
265fb4a4 645 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
646 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 647 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
648 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
649 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
650 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
651 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
652 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 653 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 654 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
655 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 656 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
657 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
658 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 659 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
660 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 661 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
662 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
663 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
664 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 665 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
666 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
667 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
668 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
669 your locale.
5073e3f8 670 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
671 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
672 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 673 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
674 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 675 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
676 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
677 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
678 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
679 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 680 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
681 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 682 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
683 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
684 respectively) and has some additional changes to
685 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
686 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 687 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 688 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
689 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 690 - Added support for STATE: messages
691 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
692 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 693 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
694 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
695 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
696 root.
4d4fb342 697 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
698 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 699 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 700 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
701 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
702 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
703 information.
d40085f1 704 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
705 field.
dd9e85de 706 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
707 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
708 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
709 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
710 attribute to control whether job history data is
711 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
712 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
713 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 714 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
715 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 716 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
717 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
718 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 719 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
720 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
721 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
722 Kubla]
3f2fa036 723 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
724 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
725 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
726 sent. It now only references attributes that change
727 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
728 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
729 2k.
730 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
731 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
732 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 733 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
734 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 735 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
736 printer was available.
737 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
738 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
739 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 740 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
741 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 742 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
743 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
744 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 745 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
746 the image on the page when printing in landscape
747 orientation.
b3291c5a 748 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
749 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
750 and ManualFeed commands.
751 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
752 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 753 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
754 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
755 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
756 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
757 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 758 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
759 list of available devices, when it should have been
760 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 761 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
762 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 763 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
764 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 765 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
766 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
767 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
768 up...
2e32fcdb 769 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
770 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
771 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
772 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 773 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
774 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
775 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
776 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 777 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
778 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 779 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
780 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
781 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 782 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
783 variable under MacOS X.
784 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
785 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 786 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
787 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 788 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
789 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
790 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 791 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
792 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 793 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
794 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
795 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 796 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 797 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
798 sequence.
49d1718a 799 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
800 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 801 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 802 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
803 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 804 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
805 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 806 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
807 Apple.
8bd0441f 808 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
809 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 810 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
811 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
812 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
813 option.
814 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
815 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 816 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
817 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
818 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 819 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
820 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
821 via IPP.
edd85093 822 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
823 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 824 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
825 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 826 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
827 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
828 means that printers that don't report their serial
829 numbers in the device ID string will not be
830 individually selectable.
d0598693 831 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
832 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 833 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 834 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
835 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
836 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
837 the same.
838 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
839 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
840 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 841 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
842 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 843 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
844 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 845 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
846 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
847 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 848 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
849 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 850 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
851 an attribute definition.
de218675 852 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
853 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
854 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
855 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 856 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
857 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
858 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
859 situations. The warning message is now written no more
860 than once per minute.
67fa1315 861 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
862 PS RIPs.
320115a7 863 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
864 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
865 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 866 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
867 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
868 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
869 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
870 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
871 program or man page files.
872
873
759f5023 874CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
875
e38a7cef 876 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
877 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
878 write a job control file.
f63a430f 879 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
880 directive to control whether new printers can be added
881 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
882 default is to not allow printers with these device
883 URIs.
767ae392 884 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
885 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
886 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 887 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
888 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
889 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
890 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 891 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
892 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 893 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
894 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
895 attacks.
901b295d 896 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
897 interface.
898 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
899 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
900 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 901 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
902 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
903 the scheduler did not close the connections
904 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 905 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
906 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 907 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
908 back to its original at the end of a job; this
909 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
910 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 911 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
912 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 913 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
914 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
915 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
916 PPD files.
dcc2e394 917 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
918 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
919 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 920 - The web interface did not always report the correct
921 error message.
759f5023 922 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
923 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
924 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
925 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
926 process from returning.
927
928
3cc7bca4 929CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
930
5c826e17 931 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
932 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 933 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 934 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
935 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 936 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
937 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
938 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
939 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
940 ticket data.
941 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
942 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
943 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 944 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
945 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
946 group membership still requires the account name to be
947 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 948 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
949 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
950 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
951 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 952 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
953 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 954 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
955 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
956 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
957 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
958 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 959 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
960 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 961 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
962 caused by servers sending the status line and
963 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 964 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
965 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
966 empty.
78143282 967 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
968 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 969 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
970 Windows.
f33d1239 971 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
972 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 973 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
974 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
975 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 976 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
977 (interrupted system call) errors.
978 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
979 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
980 caused by the child signal handler.
981 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
982 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
983 error.
e1e31a38 984 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
985 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 986 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
987 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 988 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
989 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
990 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 991 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
992 properly localized time string.
549d1888 993 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
994 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
995 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 996 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
997 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 998 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
999 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1000 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1001 scheduler.
1002 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1003 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1004 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1005 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1006 queues.
854d3bb2 1007 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1008 filename.
137d4d44 1009 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1010 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1011 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1012 automatic form feed.
1013 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 1014 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1015 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 1016 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1017 MacOS X.
1018 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1019 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1020 has been removed.
1021
1022
06415a96 1023CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1024
727e6d14 1025 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1026 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1027 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1028 printer.
1029 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1030 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 1031 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1032 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1033 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 1034 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1035 you can display completed jobs as well as
1036 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 1037 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1038 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1039 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 1040 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1041 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1042 occurs.
db628f45 1043 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1044 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 1045 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1046 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1047 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1048 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1049 the page number.
da312e94 1050 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1051 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 1052 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 1053 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1054 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1055 banner pages.
25037b2b 1056 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1057 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1058 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 1059 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 1060 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1061 reliably.
a9219725 1062 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1063 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1064 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1065 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 1066 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1067 connection when sending an error that requires the
1068 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1069 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1070 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 1071 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1072 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1073 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1074 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 1075 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1076 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1077 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1078 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 1079 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1080 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 1081 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1082 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 1083 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1084 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 1085 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1086 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 1087 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1088 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1089 defines a circular filter rule.
1090 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1091 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 1092 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1093 files.
5ca43bfd 1094 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1095 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 1096 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1097 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1098 compatibility).
879062a9 1099 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 1100 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1101 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1102 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 1103 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1104 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 1105 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1106 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1107 shutdown.
098f80c5 1108 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1109 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1110 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 1111 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1112 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1113 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1114 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 1115 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1116 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1117 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 1118 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1119 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 1120 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1121 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1122 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1123 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 1124 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1125 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1126 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 1127 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1128 connect to the remote server name in a
1129 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1130 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1131 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1132 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 1133 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1134 the program would try to print the option letter that
1135 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1136 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 1137 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1138 attributes from printer options in
1139 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 1140 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1141 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 1142 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 1143 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1144 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 1145 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1146 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1147 characters.
1148 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1149 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1150 the language mode.
1151 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1152 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1153 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1154 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1155 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 1156 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 1157 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1158 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 1159 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1160 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 1161 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1162 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1163 driver.
997cf8b0 1164 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1165 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1166 that printer is available.
1167 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1168 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1169 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1170 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1171 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1172 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 1173 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1174 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1175 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1176 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 1177 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1178 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1179 to accept connections.
1180 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1181 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1182 and current directory.
1183 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1184 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1185 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1186 for existing jobs.
1187 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1188 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1189 actually provided.
1190 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 1191 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1192 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 1193 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1194 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 1195 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1196 case-insensitive.
1197 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1198 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 1199 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1200 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1201 Solaris.
b91c8a76 1202 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1203 printing banner pages.
4f759211 1204 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 1205 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1206 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 1207 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1208 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 1209 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1210 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1211 file.
8ce19460 1212 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1213 description from member printers.
fabb006b 1214 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1215 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 1216 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 1217 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1218 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 1219 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1220 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 1221 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1222 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1223 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 1224 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1225 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1226 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1227 up...
19e7b382 1228 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1229 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1230 authentication didn't work for administration
1231 operations.
103abc03 1232 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1233 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 1234 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1235 interface to "localhost".
1236 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1237 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1238 only return textual data.
1239
1240
7680b71d 1241CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1242
1243 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1244 string function header, which is required on systems
1245 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1246 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1247 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1248 have to.
1249
1250
74cfdb8b 1251CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1252
dab1a4d8 1253 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1254 license exception.
611e4623 1255 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1256 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1257 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1258 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1259 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1260 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1261 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1262 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1263 options.
1264 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1265 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1266 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1267 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1268 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1269 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1270 queues) on the server.
1271 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1272 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1273 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1274 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1275 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1276 set definitions.
a319615f 1277 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1278 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1279 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1280 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1281 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1282 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1283 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1284 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1285 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1286 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1287 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1288 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1289 comes from...
6df23e27 1290 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1291 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1292 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1293 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1294 using the default printer.
1295 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1296 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1297 to allow for longer printer names.
1298 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1299 history data.
1300 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1301 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1302 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1303 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1304 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1305 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1306 caused problems on some installations that would
1307 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1308 level 3.
1309 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1310 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1311 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1312 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1313 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1314 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1315 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1316 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1317 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1318 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1319 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1320 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1321 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1322 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1323 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1324 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1325 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1326 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1327 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1328 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1329 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1330 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1331 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1332 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1333 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1334 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1335 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1336 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1337 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1338 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1339 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1340 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1341 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1342 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1343 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1344 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1345 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1346 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1347 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1348 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1349 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1350 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1351 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1352 classes.
7200e26c 1353 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1354 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1355 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1356 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1357 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1358 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1359 control and browsing based on the current interface
1360 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1361 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1362 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1363 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1364 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1365 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1366 group.
f4647930 1367 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1368 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1369 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1370 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1371 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1372 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1373 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1374 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1375 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1376 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1377 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1378 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1379 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1380 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1381 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1382 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1383 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1384 generated dependencies.
1385 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1386 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1387 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1388 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1389 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1390 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1391 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1392 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1393 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1394 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1395 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1396 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1397 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1398 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1399 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1400 printers and classes all at once.
1401 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1402 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1403 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1404 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1405 value.
1c9c423b 1406 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1407 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1408 other options as strings.
f918a565 1409 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1410 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1411 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1412 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1413 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1414 option.
74cfdb8b 1415 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1416 integers and ranges.
1417 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1418 language support for CUPS.
1419
1420
ee8b7dd3 1421CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1422
843779ef 1423 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1424 attribute name length or string with language value
1425 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1426 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1427 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1428 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1429 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1430 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1431 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1432 - MacOS X fixes.
1433 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1434 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1435 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1436 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1437 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1438 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1439 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1440 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1441 require it.
1442
1443
d2503e02 1444CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1445
28a96fe2 1446 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1447 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1448 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1449 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1450 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1451 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1452 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1453 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1454 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1455 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1456 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1457 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1458 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1459 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1460 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1461 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1462 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1463 goes away.
7c587866 1464 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1465 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1466 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1467 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1468 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1469 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1470 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1471 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1472 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1473 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1474 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1475 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1476 connections to improve performance/response time.
1477 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1478 from Andrea Suatoni.
1479 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1480 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1481 tools support.
1482 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1483 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1484 existed.
1485 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1486 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1487 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1488 page-set option.
873a6f43 1489 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1490 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1491 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1492 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1493 etc.)
bd73c81f 1494 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1495 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1496 listing for a printer.
1497 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1498 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1499 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1500 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1501 values.
dd5f3453 1502 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1503 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1504 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1505 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1506 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1507 files.
1508 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1509 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1510 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1511 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1512 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1513 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1514 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1515 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1516 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1517 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1518 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1519 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1520 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1521 classification level, if set. This way the original
1522 banner settings are preserved when classification
1523 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1524 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1525 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1526 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1527 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1528 system default group was not used.
1529 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1530 send multiple control files.
1531 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1532 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1533 for the "https" scheme.
1534 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1535 from the web interface for accounts other than
1536 "root".
1537 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1538 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1539 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1540 address properly.
1541 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1542 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1543 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1544 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1545 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1546 information under Linux.
1547 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1548 option (if present) in PPD files.
1549 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1550 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1551 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1552 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1553 the lppasswd command.
1554 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1555 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1556 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1557 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1558 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1559 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1560 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1561 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1562 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1563 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1564 restarting cupsd.
1565 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1566 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1567 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1568 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1569 for commands on the standard input.
1570 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1571 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1572 pointer platforms...
1573
1574
1575CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1576
1577 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1578 files.
1579 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1580 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1581 destination type for the new destination.
1582 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1583 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1584 printer ACLs.
1585 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1586 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1587 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1588 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1589 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1590
1591
1592CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1593
1594 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1595 files.
1596 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1597 files.
1598 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1599 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1600 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1601 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1602 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1603 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1604 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1605 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1606 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1607 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1608 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1609 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1610 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1611 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1612 options exceeded 100...]
1613 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1614 was set to "No".
1615 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1616 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1617 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1618 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1619 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1620 faster.
1621 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1622 support properly support the "-h" or default
1623 server name.
1624 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1625 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1626 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1627 support printer instances.
1628 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1629 underline formatting.
1630 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1631 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1632 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1633 (-1).
1634 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1635 from printing to printers in that class.
1636 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1637 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1638 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1639 slower systems since more information had to be
1640 transferred from server to client.
1641 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1642 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1643 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1644 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1645 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1646 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1647 processing.
1648 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1649 to stderr instead of stdout...
1650 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1651 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1652 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1653 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1654 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1655 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1656 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1657 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1658 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1659 the Spanish banner files.
1660 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1661 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1662 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1663 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1664 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1665 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1666 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1667 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1668 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1669 information when printing via LPD.
1670 - Added many warning and informational messages
1671 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1672 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1673 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1674 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1675 provided.
1676 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1677 cupsd.conf.
1678 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1679 32k.
1680 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1681 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1682 possible.
1683 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1684 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1685 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1686 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1687 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1688 long values.
1689 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1690 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1691 to CGIs.
1692 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1693 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1694 time.
1695 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1696 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1697 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1698 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1699 result in a blank page being output...
1700 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1701 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1702 page comments when printing files directly...)
1703 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1704 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1705 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1706 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1707 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1708 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1709 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1710 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1711 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1712 original destination.
1713 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1714 requested-attributes attribute in the
1715 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1716 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1717 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1718 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1719 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1720 prints.
1721
1722
1723CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1724
1725 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1726 makefiles to install files properly.
1727
1728
1729CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1730
1731 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1732 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1733 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1734 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1735 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1736 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1737 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1738 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1739 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1740 server.
1741 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1742 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1743 with some types of flow control.
1744 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1745 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1746 server.
1747 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1748 lines in the configuration files.
1749 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1750 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1751 from the server.
1752 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1753 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1754 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1755 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1756 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1757 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1758 script. Previously the job's document format was
1759 used, which was incorrect.
1760 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1761 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1762 "raw" model from the command-line.
1763 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1764 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1765 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1766 printers.
1767 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1768 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1769 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1770 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1771 which caused some confusion... :)
1772 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1773 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1774
1775
1776CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1777
1778 - The configure script did not substitute the
1779 correct user and group names.
1780 - The configure script did not use the full path
1781 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1782 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1783 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1784 duplexing.
1785 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1786 distribution.
1787 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1788 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1789 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1790 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1791 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1792 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1793 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1794 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1795 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1796 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1797 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1798 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1799
1800
1801CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1802
1803 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1804 approach for the various tests.
1805 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1806 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1807 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1808 options to specify the default user and group for
1809 CUPS.
1810 - Added AIX shared library support.
1811 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1812 parallel ports.
1813 - Now use install program or script to install
1814 directories, files, and symlinks.
1815 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1816 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1817 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1818 print.
1819 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1820 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1821 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1822 64-bit boundary.
1823 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1824 skip the Digest keyword.
1825 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1826 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1827 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1828 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1829 authentication from passwd.md5.
1830 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1831 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1832 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1833 PPD files should start much faster now.
1834 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1835 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1836 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1837 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1838 times.
1839 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1840 code if an error occurred.
1841 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1842 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1843 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1844 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1845 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1846 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1847 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1848 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1849 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1850 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1851 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1852 copies would come out instead of N.
1853 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1854 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1855 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1856 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1857 output an even number of pages.
1858 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1859 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1860 from being cancelled early.
1861 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1862 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1863 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1864 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1865 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1866 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1867 "ESC i" graphics command.
1868 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1869 printers to a local class.
1870 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1871 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1872 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1873 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1874 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1875 printers that were part of a class.
1876 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1877 printer more than once.
1878 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1879 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1880 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1881 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1882 account.
1883 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1884 against a location of "/printers/name".
1885 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1886 upgrades properly.
1887 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1888 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1889 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1890 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1891 when using Digest authentication.
1892 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1893 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1894 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1895 file.
1896 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1897 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1898 server.
1899 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1900 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1901 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1902 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1903 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1904 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1905 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1906 not the empty string.
1907 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1908 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1909 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1910 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1911 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1912 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1913 supported file types into the
1914 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1915 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1916 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1917 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1918 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1919 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1920 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1921 or behave irratically.
1922 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1923 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1924 specified.
1925 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1926 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1927 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1928 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1929 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1930 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1931 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1932 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1933 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1934 location or description of the printer.
1935 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1936 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1937 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1938 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1939 multiple groups.
1940 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1941 Apache.
1942 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1943 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1944 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1945 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1946 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1947 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1948 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1949 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1950 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1951 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1952 Ghostscript code.
1953 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1954 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1955 size instead of percent of page size.)
1956 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1957 instead of root.
1958 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1959 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1960 size options.
1961 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1962 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1963 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1964 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1965 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1966 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1967 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1968 character.
1969
1970
1971CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1972
1973 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1974 package for pstoraster.
1975 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1976 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1977 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1978 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1979 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1980 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1981 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1982 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1983 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1984 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1985 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1986 history disabled.
1987 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1988 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1989 connections initially.
1990 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1991 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1992 throughout.
1993 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1994 Richard Begg.)
1995 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1996 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1997 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1998 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1999 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2000 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2001 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2002 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2003 #54489...
2004 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2005 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2006 (only affects page-label and Classification
2007 options.)
2008 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2009 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2010
2011
2012CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2013
2014 - Configuration script changes, including new
2015 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2016 documentation and web content according to your
2017 favorite version of the FHS.
2018 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2019 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2020 test CUPS prior to installation.
2021 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2022 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 2023 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2024 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 2025 directives.
2026 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2027 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2028 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2029 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2030 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2031 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2032 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2033 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2034 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2035 formats are supported at present.)
2036 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2037 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2038 all browsing off.
2039 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2040 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2041 document.
2042 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2043 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2044 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2045 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2046 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2047 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2048 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2049 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2050 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2051 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2052 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2053 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2054 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2055 server.
2056 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2057 PJL commands from PPD files.
2058 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2059 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2060 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2061 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2062 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2063 the next/current job in the queue.
2064 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2065 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2066 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2067 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2068 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2069 for Sun Raster images.
2070 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2071 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2072 function.
2073 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2074 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2075 command when printing to USB devices.
2076 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2077 the cupsd.conf file.
2078 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2079 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2080 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2081 /dev/urandom.
2082 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2083 httpGetSubField().
2084 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2085 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2086 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2087 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2088 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2089 CGI was currently running.
2090 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2091 option=true or option=false.
2092 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2093 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2094 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2095 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2096 could cause it to crash.
2097 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2098 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2099 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2100 attribute when altering a job.
2101 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2102 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2103 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2104 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2105 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2106 addresses.
2107 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2108 the current classification on each page.
2109 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2110 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2111 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2112 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2113 encryption.
2114 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2115 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2116 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2117 support instances.
2118 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2119 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2120 and should never be used in a production environment.
2121 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2122 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2123 interface.
2124 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2125 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2126 prevent caching of the results.
2127 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2128 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2129 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2130 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2131 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2132 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2133 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2134 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2135 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2136 submitted by a user.
2137 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2138 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2139 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2140 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2141 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2142 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2143 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2144 embedded spaces.
2145 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2146 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2147 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2148 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2149 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2150 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2151 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2152 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2153 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2154 by the GIMP.
2155 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2156 bypassed the authentication checks.
2157 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2158 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2159 a race condition between the client and server for the
2160 upgrade to TLS.
2161 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2162 the pstops filter.
2163 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2164 the custom page size in the raster header.
2165 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2166 size to the size of the printed image.
2167 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2168 which are required by some printers.
2169 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2170 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2171 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2172 DSC).
2173 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2174 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2175 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2176 driver.
2177 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2178 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2179 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2180 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2181 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2182 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2183 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2184 address this problem.
2185 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2186 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2187 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2188 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2189 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2190 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2191 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2192 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2193 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2194 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2195 to manage print jobs.
2196 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2197 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2198 of 0 length.
2199 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2200 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2201 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2202
2203
2204CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2205
2206 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2207 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2208 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2209 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2210 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2211 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2212 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2213 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2214 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2215 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2216 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2217 /dev/ulptN.
2218 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2219 classes it was a member of.
2220 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2221 implicit status of a class.
2222 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2223 from implicit classes.
2224 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2225 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2226 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2227 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2228 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2229 of the scheduler.
2230 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2231 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2232 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2233 the /#copies variable anymore.
2234 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2235 option.
2236 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2237 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2238 for a bad-request error)
2239 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2240 unimplemented, not invalid.
2241 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2242 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2243 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2244 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2245 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2246 (pstoraster).
2247 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2248 which are not used.
2249 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2250 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2251 cgi_initialize_string().
2252 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2253 ippSetCGIVars()
2254 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2255 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2256 leaks.
2257 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2258 fails.
2259 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2260 setuid() calls.
2261 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2262 calls.
2263 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2264 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2265 bad input.
2266 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2267 missing hex digits.
2268
2269
2270CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2271
2272 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2273 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2274 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2275 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2276 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2277 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2278 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2279 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2280 corruption on many printers)
2281 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2282 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2283 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2284 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2285 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2286 requests.
2287 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2288 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2289 was lost.
2290 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2291 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2292 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2293 to be used for a socket.
2294 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2295 a set were numeric or string types.
2296 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2297 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2298 reading *.conf files.
2299 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2300 same logic as GET requests.
2301 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2302 /index.html to requested directory name.
2303 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2304 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2305 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2306 instead of mode 0600.
2307 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2308 instead of 0600.
2309 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2310 system name in log filenames.
2311 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2312 and hex strings.
2313
2314
2315CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2316
2317 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2318 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2319 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2320
2321
2322CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2323
2324 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2325 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2326 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2327 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2328 filter programs properly.
2329 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2330 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2331 versions of GCC.
2332 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2333 cancelled in StartJob().
2334 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2335 written with restricted permissions.
2336 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2337 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2338 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2339 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2340 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2341 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2342 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2343 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2344 syslog file.
2345 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2346 and only specifies the document format if it is
2347 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2348 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2349 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2350 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2351 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2352 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2353 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2354 cancelled.
2355 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2356 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2357 sporatic web interface problems.
2358 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2359 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2360 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2361 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2362 whitespace.
2363 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2364 instead of an integer.
2365 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2366 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2367 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2368 and user-level access control.
2369 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2370 encryption.
2371 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2372 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2373 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2374 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2375 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2376 to the man page.
2377 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2378 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2379 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2380 queued for a printer.
2381 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2382 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2383 reporting.
2384
2385
2386CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2387
2388 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2389 code.
2390 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2391 check in backend/serial.c.
2392 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2393 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2394 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2395 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2396 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2397 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2398 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2399 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2400 anyways)
2401
2402
2403CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2404
2405 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2406 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2407 for run level 5.
2408 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2409 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2410 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2411 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2412 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2413 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2414 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2415
2416
2417CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2418
2419 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2420 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2421 access from the local system.
2422 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2423 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2424 - Documentation updates.
2425 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2426 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2427 RedHat or Mandrake.
2428 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2429 warnings.
2430 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2431 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2432 hex)
2433 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2434 crash the server.
2435 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2436 correct value length for name-with-language and
2437 text-with-language attributes.
2438 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2439 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2440 efficient IPP server performance.
2441 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2442 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2443 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2444 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2445 attack.
2446 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2447 data required when getting the list of printer or
2448 class information. This should improve performance
2449 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2450 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2451 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2452 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2453 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2454 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2455 override the lpoptions default printer.
2456 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2457 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2458 attributes.
2459 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2460 did not check for the correct value for collated
2461 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2462 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2463 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2464 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2465 scale mode 2.
2466 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2467 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2468 that started with a number.
2469 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2470 multiple times in name-with-language and
2471 text-with-language attributes.
2472 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2473 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2474 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2475 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2476 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2477 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2478 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2479 close the spool directory.
2480 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2481 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2482 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2483 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2484 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2485 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2486 larger than the source string; this protects
2487 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2488 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2489 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2490 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2491 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2492 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2493 remote printers.
2494 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2495 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2496 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2497 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2498 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2499 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2500 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2501 3-argument contains() function.
2502 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2503 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2504 database containing 0 printers.
2505 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2506 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2507 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2508 printer was always busy.
2509 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2510 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2511 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2512 jobs.
2513 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2514 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2515 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2516 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2517 57600 and 115200 baud.
2518 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2519 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2520 option in the device URI.
2521 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2522 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2523 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2524 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2525 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2526 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2527 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2528 job attributes to be changed.
2529 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2530 web interface.
2531 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2532 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2533 since they do not map)
2534 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2535 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2536 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2537 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2538 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2539 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2540 child signals while loading devices.
2541 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2542 and classes.
2543 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2544 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2545 driver dithering code.
2546 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2547 after the first active printer.
2548 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2549 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2550 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2551 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2552 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2553 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2554 accepted null values.
2555 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2556 of the backends.
2557 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2558 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2559 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2560 is set in the plot file.
2561 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2562 user name, causing it to always fail.
2563 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2564 under Windows.
2565 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2566 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2567 didn't handle control file job information in any
2568 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2569 a file.
2570 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2571 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2572 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2573 printing on some systems.
2574 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2575 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2576 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2577 it.
2578
2579
2580CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2581
2582 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2583 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2584 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2585 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2586 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2587 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2588 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2589 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2590 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2591 order, which prevented remote printing.
2592 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2593 IPP requests and language information when closing
2594 a client connection.
2595 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2596 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2597 compatibles)
2598 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2599 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2600 on many OS's.
2601 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2602 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2603 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2604 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2605 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2606 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2607 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2608 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2609 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2610 PPD files.
2611 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2612 when the destination printer supported it. This
2613 caused problems when printing text files to other
2614 CUPS servers.
2615 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2616 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2617 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2618 the dates.)
2619 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2620 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2621 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2622 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2623 be clipped.
2624
2625
2626CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2627
2628 - Makefile fixes.
2629 - RPM spec file changes.
2630 - Documentation updates.
2631 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2632 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2633 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2634 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2635 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2636 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2637 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2638 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2639 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2640 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2641 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2642 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2643 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2644 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2645 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2646 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2647 specified.
2648 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2649 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2650 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2651 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2652 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2653 cupsd.conf.
2654 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2655 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2656 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2657 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2658 filter mode 'l'.
2659 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2660 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2661 defaults for all print queues.
2662 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2663 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2664 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2665 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2666 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2667 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2668 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2669 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2670 printer was defined with the same name.
2671 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2672 remove options for a printer or instance.
2673 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2674 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2675 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2676 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2677 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2678 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2679 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2680 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2681 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2682 job-printer-uri attribute.
2683 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2684 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2685 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2686 remote printers.
2687 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2688 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2689 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2690 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2691 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2692 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2693 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2694 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2695 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2696 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2697 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2698 printer set using lpoptions.
2699 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2700 list the printer-specific options and their current
2701 settings.
2702 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2703 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2704 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2705 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2706 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2707 text printing.
2708 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2709 instances.
2710 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2711 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2712 limit.
2713 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2714 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2715 new client connections.
2716 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2717 required pagedevice parameters.
2718 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2719 under Linux.
2720 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2721 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2722 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2723 would stop processing.
2724 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2725 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2726 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2727 that was currently printing a job.
2728 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2729 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2730 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2731 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2732 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2733 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2734 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2735 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2736 option values separated by commas.
2737 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2738 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2739 and free bytes once a minute)
2740 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2741 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2742 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2743 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2744 printers.
2745 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2746 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2747 requests from that address to the server name.
2748 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2749 server.domain.com to localhost.
2750 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2751 the previous device and driver settings (except
2752 for serial ports.)
2753 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2754 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2755 after a job is completed when job file history is
2756 turned off.
2757 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2758 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2759 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2760 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2761 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2762 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2763 for "lpstat -v" output.
2764 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2765 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2766 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2767 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2768 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2769 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2770 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2771 by itself without quoting.
2772
2773
2774CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2775
2776 - Makefile/configure fixes
2777 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2778 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2779 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2780 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2781 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2782 number generator for certificates.
2783 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2784 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2785 the filter user, typically "lp".
2786 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2787 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2788 user.
2789 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2790 function.
2791 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2792 standard input.
2793 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2794 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2795 page header as needed.
2796 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2797 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2798 immediately when last-document was true.
2799 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2800 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2801 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2802 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2803 and many PS printers.
2804 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2805 filters.
2806 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2807 debugging problems.
2808 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2809 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2810 calling problem...)
2811 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2812 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2813 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2814 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2815 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2816 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2817 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2818 by default.
2819 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2820 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2821 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2822 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2823 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2824 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2825 CUPS software.
2826
2827
2828CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2829
2830 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2831 old PDF filter files.
2832 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2833 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2834 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2835 network devices.
2836 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2837 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2838 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2839 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2840 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2841 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2842 is defined otherwise.
2843 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2844 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2845 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2846 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2847 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2848 0-length PPD file was read.
2849 - The image filters were not handling images with
2850 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2851 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2852 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2853 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2854 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2855 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2856 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2857 documents if they don't have it.
2858 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2859 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2860 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2861 --prefix was specified.
2862 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2863 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2864 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2865 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2866 color mode until it can be fixed.
2867 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2868 correctly in all cases.
2869 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2870 time in banner files.
2871
2872
2873CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2874
2875 - Documentation updates.
2876 - Configuration script updates.
2877 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2878 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2879 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2880 ppd_file_t structure.
2881 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2882 before it was used.
2883 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2884 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2885 the localhost address.
2886 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2887 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2888 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2889 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2890 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2891 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2892 PDF support.
2893 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2894 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2895 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2896 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2897 pstoraster.
2898 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2899 the user.
2900 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2901 not running.
2902 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2903 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2904 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2905 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2906 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2907 setpagedevice operator.
2908 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2909 the default banner pages.
2910 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2911 "position" option.
2912 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2913 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2914 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2915 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2916 "printer@server") when possible.
2917 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2918 with no PageSize attributes.
2919 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2920 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2921 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2922 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2923 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2924 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2925 cupsd.
2926 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2927 locations.
2928 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2929 variables to specify installation directories as
2930 needed.
2931 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2932 when the scheduler is started.
2933 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2934 printer.
2935 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2936 printer are automatically deleted.
2937 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2938 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2939 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2940 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2941 request.
2942 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2943 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2944 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2945 is "no-hold".
2946 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2947 responses.
2948 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2949 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2950 printer.
2951 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2952 request fails.
2953 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2954 printer and class names.
2955 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2956 received in a POST request.
2957
2958
2959CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2960
2961 - Documentation updates.
2962 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2963 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2964 method.
2965 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2966 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2967 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2968 - Missing the job-restart template.
2969 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2970 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2971 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2972 not specified.
2973 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2974 from getting through.
2975 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2976 stderr.
2977 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2978 job name and display string, if supported.
2979 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2980 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2981 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2982 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2983 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2984 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2985 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2986 UTF-8...
2987 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2988 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2989 could cause cupsd to crash.
2990 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2991 crash.
2992 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2993 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2994 "HH:MM:SS".
2995 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2996 connection structure.
2997 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2998 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2999 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3000 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3001 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3002 is a potential security hole.
3003 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3004 new pstoraster.
3005 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3006 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3007 (/dev/usblp#)
3008 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3009 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3010 release.
3011
3012
3013CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3014
3015 - Documentation updates.
3016 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3017 now compile better under *BSD.)
3018 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3019 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3020 tray was selected.
3021 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3022 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3023 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3024 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3025 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3026 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3027 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3028 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3029 can handle.
3030 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3031 cause cupsd to crash.
3032 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3033 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3034 mime.types file.
3035 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3036 of file to be used as a banner.
3037 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3038 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3039 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3040 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3041 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3042 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3043 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3044 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3045 the IANA registrations.
3046 - New PostScript banner pages.
3047 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3048 filter.
3049 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3050 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3051 code.
3052 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3053 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3054 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3055 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3056 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3057 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3058 accurate width specification.
3059 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3060 files.
3061 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3062 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3063 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3064 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3065 that support it.
3066 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3067 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3068 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3069 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3070 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3071 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3072 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3073 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3074 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3075 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3076
3077
3078CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3079
3080 - Documentation updates.
3081 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3082 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3083 shell and Bash.
3084 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3085 code.
3086 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3087 manufacturer in the PPD.
3088 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3089 output attributes to be set.
3090 - Added banner page support.
3091 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3092 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3093 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3094 timezone offset.
3095 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3096 file is generated).
3097 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3098 printers when they became available.
3099 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3100 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3101 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3102 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3103 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3104 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3105 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3106 (override with -f)
3107 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3108 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3109 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3110 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3111 folks.
3112 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3113 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3114 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3115 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3116 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3117 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3118 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3119 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3120 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3121 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3122 languages (still only have templates for English)
3123 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3124 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3125 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3126 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3127 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3128 needed for some sites)
3129 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3130 templates.
3131 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3132 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3133 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3134 specific printer.
3135 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3136 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3137 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3138 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3139 authentication.
3140 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3141 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3142 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3143 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3144 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3145 filter.
3146 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3147 US-ASCII.
3148 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3149 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3150 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3151 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3152 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3153 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3154 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3155 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3156 basis without environment variables.
3157 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3158
3159
3160CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3161
3162 - Documentation updates.
3163 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3164 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3165 printer.
3166 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3167 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3168 distribution.
3169 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3170 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3171 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3172 to match the IPP spec.
3173 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3174 (previously they would be ignored)
3175 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3176 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3177 machines.
3178 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3179 and printer.
3180 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3181 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3182 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3183 BrowseRelay directives.
3184 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3185 still receives information on remote printers.
3186 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3187 networks)
3188 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3189 of PPD files.
3190 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3191 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3192 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not

3214 was being used.
3215 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
