6e3d4276 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
5
8bd0441f 6 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
7 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 8 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
9 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
10 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
11 option.
12 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
13 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 14 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
15 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
16 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 17 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
18 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
19 via IPP.
edd85093 20 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
21 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 22 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
23 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 24 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
25 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
26 means that printers that don't report their serial
27 numbers in the device ID string will not be
28 individually selectable.
d0598693 29 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
30 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 31 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 32 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
33 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
34 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
35 the same.
36 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
37 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
38 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 39 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
40 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 41 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
42 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 43 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
44 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
45 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 46 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
47 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 48 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
49 an attribute definition.
de218675 50 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
51 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
52 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
53 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 54 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
55 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
56 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
57 situations. The warning message is now written no more
58 than once per minute.
67fa1315 59 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
60 PS RIPs.
320115a7 61 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
62 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
63 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 64 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
65 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
66 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
67 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
68 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
69 program or man page files.
70
71
759f5023 72CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
73
e38a7cef 74 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
75 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
76 write a job control file.
f63a430f 77 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
78 directive to control whether new printers can be added
79 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
80 default is to not allow printers with these device
81 URIs.
767ae392 82 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
83 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
84 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 85 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
86 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
87 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
88 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 89 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
90 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 91 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
92 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
93 attacks.
901b295d 94 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
95 interface.
96 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
97 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
98 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 99 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
100 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
101 the scheduler did not close the connections
102 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 103 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
104 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 105 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
106 back to its original at the end of a job; this
107 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
108 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 109 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
110 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 111 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
112 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
113 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
114 PPD files.
dcc2e394 115 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
116 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
117 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 118 - The web interface did not always report the correct
119 error message.
759f5023 120 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
121 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
122 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
123 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
124 process from returning.
125
126
3cc7bca4 127CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
128
5c826e17 129 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
130 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 131 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 132 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
133 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 134 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
135 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
136 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
137 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
138 ticket data.
139 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
140 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
141 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 142 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
143 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
144 group membership still requires the account name to be
145 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 146 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
147 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
148 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
149 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 150 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
151 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 152 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
153 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
154 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
155 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
156 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 157 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
158 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 159 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
160 caused by servers sending the status line and
161 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 162 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
163 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
164 empty.
78143282 165 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
166 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 167 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
168 Windows.
f33d1239 169 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
170 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 171 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
172 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
173 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 174 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
175 (interrupted system call) errors.
176 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
177 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
178 caused by the child signal handler.
179 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
180 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
181 error.
e1e31a38 182 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
183 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 184 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
185 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 186 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
187 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
188 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 189 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
190 properly localized time string.
549d1888 191 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
192 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
193 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 194 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
195 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 196 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
197 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
198 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
199 scheduler.
200 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
201 scheduler so that the printer object information is
202 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
203 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
204 queues.
854d3bb2 205 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
206 filename.
137d4d44 207 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
208 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
209 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
210 automatic form feed.
211 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 212 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
213 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 214 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
215 MacOS X.
216 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
217 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
218 has been removed.
219
220
06415a96 221CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
222
727e6d14 223 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
224 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
225 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
226 printer.
227 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
228 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 229 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
230 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
231 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 232 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
233 you can display completed jobs as well as
234 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 235 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
236 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
237 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 238 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
239 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
240 occurs.
db628f45 241 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
242 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 243 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
244 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
245 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
246 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
247 the page number.
da312e94 248 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
249 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 250 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 251 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
252 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
253 banner pages.
25037b2b 254 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
255 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
256 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 257 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 258 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
259 reliably.
a9219725 260 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
261 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
262 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
263 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 264 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
265 connection when sending an error that requires the
266 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
267 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
268 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 269 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
270 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
271 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
272 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 273 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
274 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
275 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
276 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 277 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
278 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 279 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
280 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 281 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
282 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 283 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
284 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 285 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
286 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
287 defines a circular filter rule.
288 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
289 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 290 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
291 files.
5ca43bfd 292 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
293 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 294 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
295 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
296 compatibility).
879062a9 297 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 298 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
299 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
300 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 301 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
302 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 303 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
304 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
305 shutdown.
098f80c5 306 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
307 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
308 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 309 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
310 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
311 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
312 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 313 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
314 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
315 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 316 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
317 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 318 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
319 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
320 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
321 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 322 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
323 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
324 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 325 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
326 connect to the remote server name in a
327 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
328 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
329 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
330 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 331 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
332 the program would try to print the option letter that
333 caused the error using the wrong index into the
334 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 335 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
336 attributes from printer options in
337 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 338 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
339 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 340 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 341 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
342 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 343 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
344 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
345 characters.
346 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
347 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
348 the language mode.
349 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
350 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
351 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
352 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
353 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 354 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 355 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
356 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 357 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
358 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 359 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
360 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
361 driver.
997cf8b0 362 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
363 the next available printer rather than waiting until
364 that printer is available.
365 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
366 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
367 printer class instead of a normal printer.
368 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
369 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
370 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 371 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
372 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
373 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
374 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 375 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
376 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
377 to accept connections.
378 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
379 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
380 and current directory.
381 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
382 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
383 into the file type database would no longer be valid
384 for existing jobs.
385 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
386 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
387 actually provided.
388 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 389 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
390 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 391 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
392 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 393 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
394 case-insensitive.
395 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
396 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 397 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
398 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
399 Solaris.
b91c8a76 400 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
401 printing banner pages.
4f759211 402 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 403 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
404 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 405 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
406 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 407 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
408 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
409 file.
8ce19460 410 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
411 description from member printers.
fabb006b 412 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
413 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 414 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 415 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
416 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 417 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
418 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 419 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
420 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
421 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 422 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
423 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
424 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
425 up...
19e7b382 426 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
427 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
428 authentication didn't work for administration
429 operations.
103abc03 430 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
431 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 432 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
433 interface to "localhost".
434 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
435 response to queue state commands, but those commands
436 only return textual data.
437
438
7680b71d 439CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
440
441 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
442 string function header, which is required on systems
443 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
444 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
445 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
446 have to.
447
448
74cfdb8b 449CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
450
dab1a4d8 451 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
452 license exception.
611e4623 453 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
454 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 455 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
456 option if none is provided to automatically select the
457 correct tray.
ed6078a4 458 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
459 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
460 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
461 options.
462 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
463 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
464 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 465 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
466 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
467 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
468 queues) on the server.
469 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
470 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
471 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
472 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 473 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
474 set definitions.
a319615f 475 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
476 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 477 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
478 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 479 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 480 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 481 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
482 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 483 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
484 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 485 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
486 have a small comment header explaining where the file
487 comes from...
6df23e27 488 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 489 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 490 number-up-layout options.
415199da 491 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
492 using the default printer.
493 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
494 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
495 to allow for longer printer names.
496 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
497 history data.
498 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
499 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
500 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
501 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 502 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
503 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
504 caused problems on some installations that would
505 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
506 level 3.
507 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 508 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
509 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 510 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
511 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 512 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
513 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 514 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 515 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
516 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
517 (cupsd).
a4e23897 518 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
519 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
520 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
521 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 522 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
523 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
524 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
525 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
526 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
527 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
528 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
529 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
530 non-ISOLatin1 text.
531 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
532 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
533 of glyphs.
576b82ca 534 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
535 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
536 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
537 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 538 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
539 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
540 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
541 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
542 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 543 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
544 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 545 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
546 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 547 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
548 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 549 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
550 classes.
7200e26c 551 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
552 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
553 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 554 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
555 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
556 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
557 control and browsing based on the current interface
558 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 559 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
560 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 561 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
562 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
563 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
564 group.
f4647930 565 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
566 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 567 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
568 detects that the printer is not connected to the
569 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
570 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
571 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
572 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 573 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
574 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 575 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
576 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 577 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
578 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 579 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
580 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 581 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
582 generated dependencies.
583 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 584 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
585 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
586 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 587 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
588 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
589 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 590 - The backends now read print data using the read()
591 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
592 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 593 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
594 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 595 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
596 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
597 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
598 printers and classes all at once.
599 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
600 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 601 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
602 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
603 value.
1c9c423b 604 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
605 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
606 other options as strings.
f918a565 607 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
608 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
609 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 610 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
611 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
612 option.
74cfdb8b 613 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
614 integers and ranges.
615 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
616 language support for CUPS.
617
618
ee8b7dd3 619CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
620
843779ef 621 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 622 attribute name length or string with language value
623 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 624 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
625 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
626 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 627 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 628 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
629 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 630 - MacOS X fixes.
631 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
632 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
633 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
634 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 635 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
636 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
637 it from waiting for the job to complete when
638 communicating with some IPP implementations that
639 require it.
640
641
d2503e02 642CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
643
28a96fe2 644 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
645 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 646 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
647 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
648 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 649 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
650 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
651 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
652 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
653 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 654 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
655 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
656 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
657 *.convs files.
db911fcb 658 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
659 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
660 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
661 goes away.
7c587866 662 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
663 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 664 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 665 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 666 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 667 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
668 portion of the printer name, and since it would
669 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
670 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 671 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
672 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 673 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
674 connections to improve performance/response time.
675 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
676 from Andrea Suatoni.
677 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
678 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
679 tools support.
680 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
681 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
682 existed.
683 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
684 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 685 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
686 page-set option.
873a6f43 687 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
688 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 689 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
690 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
691 etc.)
bd73c81f 692 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
693 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
694 listing for a printer.
695 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
696 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
697 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 698 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
699 values.
dd5f3453 700 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
701 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 702 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
703 - Updated the Italian message translations.
704 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
705 files.
706 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
707 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 708 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
709 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
710 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 711 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
712 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 713 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
714 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 715 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
716 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 717 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
718 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
719 classification level, if set. This way the original
720 banner settings are preserved when classification
721 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 722 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
723 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 724 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
725 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
726 system default group was not used.
727 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
728 send multiple control files.
729 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
730 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
731 for the "https" scheme.
732 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
733 from the web interface for accounts other than
734 "root".
735 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
736 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
737 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
738 address properly.
739 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
740 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
741 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
742 inside a Location, which is not valid.
743 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
744 information under Linux.
745 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
746 option (if present) in PPD files.
747 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
748 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
749 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
750 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
751 the lppasswd command.
752 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
753 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
754 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
755 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
756 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
757 directory and configuration files are owned by and
758 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
759 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
760 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
761 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
762 restarting cupsd.
763 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
764 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
765 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
766 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
767 for commands on the standard input.
768 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
769 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
770 pointer platforms...
771
772
773CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
774
775 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
776 files.
777 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
778 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
779 destination type for the new destination.
780 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
781 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
782 printer ACLs.
783 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
784 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
785 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
786 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
787 printer-make-and-model attribute.
788
789
790CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
791
792 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
793 files.
794 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
795 files.
796 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
797 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
798 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
799 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
800 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
801 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
802 the device list (lpinfo -m).
803 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
804 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
805 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
806 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
807 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
808 increment. [this caused some versions of the
809 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
810 options exceeded 100...]
811 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
812 was set to "No".
813 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
814 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
815 infinite loop when accepting a request.
816 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
817 functions to make IPP request/response processing
818 faster.
819 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
820 support properly support the "-h" or default
821 server name.
822 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
823 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
824 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
825 support printer instances.
826 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
827 underline formatting.
828 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
829 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
830 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
831 (-1).
832 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
833 from printing to printers in that class.
834 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
835 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
836 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
837 slower systems since more information had to be
838 transferred from server to client.
839 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
840 things like the job title. This had the potential for
841 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
842 machine); bug report from SuSE.
843 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
844 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
845 processing.
846 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
847 to stderr instead of stdout...
848 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
849 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
850 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
851 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
852 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
853 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
854 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
855 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
856 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
857 the Spanish banner files.
858 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
859 language abbreviation to use for all supported
860 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
861 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
862 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
863 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
864 anonymous printing (no username specified).
865 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
866 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
867 information when printing via LPD.
868 - Added many warning and informational messages
869 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
870 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
871 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
872 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
873 provided.
874 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
875 cupsd.conf.
876 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
877 32k.
878 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
879 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
880 possible.
881 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
882 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
883 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
884 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
885 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
886 long values.
887 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
888 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
889 to CGIs.
890 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
891 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
892 time.
893 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
894 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
895 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
896 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
897 result in a blank page being output...
898 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
899 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
900 page comments when printing files directly...)
901 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
902 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
903 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
904 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
905 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
906 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
907 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
908 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
909 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
910 original destination.
911 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
912 requested-attributes attribute in the
913 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
914 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
915 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
916 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
917 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
918 prints.
919
920
921CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
922
923 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
924 makefiles to install files properly.
925
926
927CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
928
929 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
930 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
931 to override the classification of individual jobs.
932 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
933 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
934 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
935 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
936 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
937 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
938 server.
939 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
940 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
941 with some types of flow control.
942 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
943 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
944 server.
945 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
946 lines in the configuration files.
947 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
948 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
949 from the server.
950 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
951 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
952 to the file: pseudo-backend.
953 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
954 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
955 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
956 script. Previously the job's document format was
957 used, which was incorrect.
958 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
959 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
960 "raw" model from the command-line.
961 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
962 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
963 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
964 printers.
965 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
966 Chinese text support compiled into it.
967 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
968 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
969 which caused some confusion... :)
970 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
971 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
972
973
974CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
975
976 - The configure script did not substitute the
977 correct user and group names.
978 - The configure script did not use the full path
979 to the install-sh script when it was used.
980 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
981 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
982 duplexing.
983 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
984 distribution.
985 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
986 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
987 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
988 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
989 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
990 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
991 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
992 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
993 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
994 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
995 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
996 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
997
998
999CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1000
1001 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1002 approach for the various tests.
1003 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1004 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1005 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1006 options to specify the default user and group for
1007 CUPS.
1008 - Added AIX shared library support.
1009 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1010 parallel ports.
1011 - Now use install program or script to install
1012 directories, files, and symlinks.
1013 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1014 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1015 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1016 print.
1017 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1018 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1019 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1020 64-bit boundary.
1021 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1022 skip the Digest keyword.
1023 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1024 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1025 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1026 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1027 authentication from passwd.md5.
1028 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1029 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1030 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1031 PPD files should start much faster now.
1032 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1033 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1034 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1035 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1036 times.
1037 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1038 code if an error occurred.
1039 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1040 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1041 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1042 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1043 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1044 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1045 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1046 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1047 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1048 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1049 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1050 copies would come out instead of N.
1051 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1052 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1053 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1054 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1055 output an even number of pages.
1056 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1057 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1058 from being cancelled early.
1059 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1060 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1061 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1062 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1063 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1064 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1065 "ESC i" graphics command.
1066 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1067 printers to a local class.
1068 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1069 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1070 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1071 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1072 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1073 printers that were part of a class.
1074 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1075 printer more than once.
1076 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1077 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1078 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1079 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1080 account.
1081 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1082 against a location of "/printers/name".
1083 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1084 upgrades properly.
1085 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1086 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1087 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1088 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1089 when using Digest authentication.
1090 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1091 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1092 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1093 file.
1094 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1095 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1096 server.
1097 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1098 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1099 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1100 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1101 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1102 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1103 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1104 not the empty string.
1105 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1106 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1107 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1108 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1109 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1110 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1111 supported file types into the
1112 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1113 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1114 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1115 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1116 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1117 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1118 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1119 or behave irratically.
1120 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1121 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1122 specified.
1123 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1124 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1125 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1126 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1127 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1128 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1129 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1130 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1131 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1132 location or description of the printer.
1133 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1134 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1135 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1136 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1137 multiple groups.
1138 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1139 Apache.
1140 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1141 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1142 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1143 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1144 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1145 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1146 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1147 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1148 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1149 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1150 Ghostscript code.
1151 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1152 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1153 size instead of percent of page size.)
1154 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1155 instead of root.
1156 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1157 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1158 size options.
1159 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1160 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1161 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1162 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1163 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1164 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1165 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1166 character.
1167
1168
1169CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1170
1171 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1172 package for pstoraster.
1173 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1174 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1175 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1176 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1177 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1178 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1179 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1180 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1181 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1182 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1183 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1184 history disabled.
1185 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1186 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1187 connections initially.
1188 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1189 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1190 throughout.
1191 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1192 Richard Begg.)
1193 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1194 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1195 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1196 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1197 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1198 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1199 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1200 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1201 #54489...
1202 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1203 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1204 (only affects page-label and Classification
1205 options.)
1206 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1207 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1208
1209
1210CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1211
1212 - Configuration script changes, including new
1213 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1214 documentation and web content according to your
1215 favorite version of the FHS.
1216 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1217 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1218 test CUPS prior to installation.
1219 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1220 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1221 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1222 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1223 directives.
1224 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1225 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1226 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1227 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1228 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1229 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1230 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1231 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1232 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1233 formats are supported at present.)
1234 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1235 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1236 all browsing off.
1237 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1238 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1239 document.
1240 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1241 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1242 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1243 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1244 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1245 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1246 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1247 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1248 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1249 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1250 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1251 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1252 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1253 server.
1254 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1255 PJL commands from PPD files.
1256 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1257 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1258 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1259 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1260 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1261 the next/current job in the queue.
1262 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1263 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1264 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1265 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1266 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1267 for Sun Raster images.
1268 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1269 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1270 function.
1271 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1272 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1273 command when printing to USB devices.
1274 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1275 the cupsd.conf file.
1276 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1277 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1278 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1279 /dev/urandom.
1280 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1281 httpGetSubField().
1282 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1283 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1284 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1285 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1286 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1287 CGI was currently running.
1288 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1289 option=true or option=false.
1290 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1291 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1292 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1293 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1294 could cause it to crash.
1295 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1296 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1297 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1298 attribute when altering a job.
1299 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1300 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1301 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1302 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1303 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1304 addresses.
1305 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1306 the current classification on each page.
1307 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1308 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1309 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1310 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1311 encryption.
1312 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1313 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1314 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1315 support instances.
1316 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1317 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1318 and should never be used in a production environment.
1319 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1320 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1321 interface.
1322 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1323 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1324 prevent caching of the results.
1325 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1326 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1327 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1328 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1329 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1330 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1331 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1332 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1333 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1334 submitted by a user.
1335 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1336 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1337 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1338 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1339 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1340 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1341 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1342 embedded spaces.
1343 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1344 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1345 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1346 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1347 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1348 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1349 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1350 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1351 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1352 by the GIMP.
1353 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1354 bypassed the authentication checks.
1355 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1356 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1357 a race condition between the client and server for the
1358 upgrade to TLS.
1359 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1360 the pstops filter.
1361 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1362 the custom page size in the raster header.
1363 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1364 size to the size of the printed image.
1365 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1366 which are required by some printers.
1367 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1368 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1369 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1370 DSC).
1371 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1372 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1373 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1374 driver.
1375 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1376 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1377 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1378 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1379 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1380 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1381 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1382 address this problem.
1383 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1384 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1385 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1386 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1387 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1388 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1389 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1390 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1391 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1392 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1393 to manage print jobs.
1394 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1395 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1396 of 0 length.
1397 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1398 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1399 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1400
1401
1402CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1403
1404 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1405 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1406 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1407 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1408 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1409 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1410 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1411 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1412 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1413 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1414 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1415 /dev/ulptN.
1416 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1417 classes it was a member of.
1418 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1419 implicit status of a class.
1420 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1421 from implicit classes.
1422 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1423 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1424 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1425 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1426 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1427 of the scheduler.
1428 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1429 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1430 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1431 the /#copies variable anymore.
1432 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1433 option.
1434 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1435 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1436 for a bad-request error)
1437 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1438 unimplemented, not invalid.
1439 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1440 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1441 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1442 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1443 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1444 (pstoraster).
1445 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1446 which are not used.
1447 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1448 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1449 cgi_initialize_string().
1450 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1451 ippSetCGIVars()
1452 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1453 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1454 leaks.
1455 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1456 fails.
1457 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1458 setuid() calls.
1459 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1460 calls.
1461 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1462 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1463 bad input.
1464 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1465 missing hex digits.
1466
1467
1468CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1469
1470 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1471 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1472 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1473 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1474 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1475 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1476 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1477 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1478 corruption on many printers)
1479 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1480 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1481 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1482 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1483 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1484 requests.
1485 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1486 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1487 was lost.
1488 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1489 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1490 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1491 to be used for a socket.
1492 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1493 a set were numeric or string types.
1494 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1495 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1496 reading *.conf files.
1497 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1498 same logic as GET requests.
1499 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1500 /index.html to requested directory name.
1501 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1502 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1503 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1504 instead of mode 0600.
1505 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1506 instead of 0600.
1507 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1508 system name in log filenames.
1509 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1510 and hex strings.
1511
1512
1513CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1514
1515 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1516 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1517 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1518
1519
1520CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1521
1522 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1523 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1524 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1525 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1526 filter programs properly.
1527 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1528 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1529 versions of GCC.
1530 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1531 cancelled in StartJob().
1532 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1533 written with restricted permissions.
1534 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1535 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1536 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1537 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1538 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1539 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1540 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1541 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1542 syslog file.
1543 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1544 and only specifies the document format if it is
1545 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1546 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1547 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1548 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1549 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1550 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1551 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1552 cancelled.
1553 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1554 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1555 sporatic web interface problems.
1556 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1557 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1558 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1559 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1560 whitespace.
1561 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1562 instead of an integer.
1563 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1564 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1565 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1566 and user-level access control.
1567 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1568 encryption.
1569 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1570 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1571 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1572 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1573 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1574 to the man page.
1575 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1576 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1577 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1578 queued for a printer.
1579 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1580 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1581 reporting.
1582
1583
1584CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1585
1586 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1587 code.
1588 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1589 check in backend/serial.c.
1590 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1591 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1592 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1593 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1594 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1595 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1596 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1597 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1598 anyways)
1599
1600
1601CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1602
1603 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1604 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1605 for run level 5.
1606 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1607 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1608 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1609 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1610 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1611 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1612 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1613
1614
1615CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1616
1617 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1618 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1619 access from the local system.
1620 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1621 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1622 - Documentation updates.
1623 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1624 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1625 RedHat or Mandrake.
1626 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1627 warnings.
1628 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1629 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1630 hex)
1631 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1632 crash the server.
1633 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1634 correct value length for name-with-language and
1635 text-with-language attributes.
1636 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1637 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1638 efficient IPP server performance.
1639 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1640 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1641 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1642 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1643 attack.
1644 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1645 data required when getting the list of printer or
1646 class information. This should improve performance
1647 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1648 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1649 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1650 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1651 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1652 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1653 override the lpoptions default printer.
1654 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1655 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1656 attributes.
1657 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1658 did not check for the correct value for collated
1659 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1660 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1661 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1662 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1663 scale mode 2.
1664 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1665 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1666 that started with a number.
1667 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1668 multiple times in name-with-language and
1669 text-with-language attributes.
1670 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1671 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1672 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1673 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1674 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1675 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1676 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1677 close the spool directory.
1678 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1679 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1680 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1681 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1682 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1683 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1684 larger than the source string; this protects
1685 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1686 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1687 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1688 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1689 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1690 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1691 remote printers.
1692 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1693 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1694 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1695 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1696 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1697 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1698 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1699 3-argument contains() function.
1700 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1701 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1702 database containing 0 printers.
1703 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1704 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1705 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1706 printer was always busy.
1707 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1708 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1709 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1710 jobs.
1711 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1712 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1713 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1714 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1715 57600 and 115200 baud.
1716 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1717 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1718 option in the device URI.
1719 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1720 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1721 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1722 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1723 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1724 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1725 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1726 job attributes to be changed.
1727 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1728 web interface.
1729 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1730 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1731 since they do not map)
1732 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1733 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1734 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1735 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1736 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1737 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1738 child signals while loading devices.
1739 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1740 and classes.
1741 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1742 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1743 driver dithering code.
1744 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1745 after the first active printer.
1746 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1747 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1748 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1749 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1750 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1751 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1752 accepted null values.
1753 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1754 of the backends.
1755 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1756 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1757 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1758 is set in the plot file.
1759 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1760 user name, causing it to always fail.
1761 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1762 under Windows.
1763 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1764 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1765 didn't handle control file job information in any
1766 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1767 a file.
1768 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1769 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1770 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1771 printing on some systems.
1772 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1773 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1774 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1775 it.
1776
1777
1778CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1779
1780 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1781 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1782 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1783 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1784 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1785 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1786 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1787 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1788 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1789 order, which prevented remote printing.
1790 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1791 IPP requests and language information when closing
1792 a client connection.
1793 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1794 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1795 compatibles)
1796 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1797 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1798 on many OS's.
1799 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1800 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1801 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1802 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1803 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1804 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1805 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1806 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1807 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1808 PPD files.
1809 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1810 when the destination printer supported it. This
1811 caused problems when printing text files to other
1812 CUPS servers.
1813 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1814 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1815 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1816 the dates.)
1817 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1818 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1819 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1820 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1821 be clipped.
1822
1823
1824CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1825
1826 - Makefile fixes.
1827 - RPM spec file changes.
1828 - Documentation updates.
1829 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1830 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1831 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1832 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1833 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1834 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1835 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1836 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1837 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1838 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1839 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1840 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1841 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1842 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1843 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1844 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1845 specified.
1846 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1847 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1848 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1849 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1850 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1851 cupsd.conf.
1852 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1853 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1854 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1855 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1856 filter mode 'l'.
1857 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1858 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1859 defaults for all print queues.
1860 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1861 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1862 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1863 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1864 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1865 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1866 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1867 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1868 printer was defined with the same name.
1869 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1870 remove options for a printer or instance.
1871 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1872 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1873 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1874 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1875 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1876 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1877 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1878 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1879 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1880 job-printer-uri attribute.
1881 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1882 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1883 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1884 remote printers.
1885 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1886 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1887 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1888 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1889 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1890 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1891 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1892 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1893 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1894 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1895 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1896 printer set using lpoptions.
1897 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1898 list the printer-specific options and their current
1899 settings.
1900 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1901 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1902 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1903 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1904 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1905 text printing.
1906 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1907 instances.
1908 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1909 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1910 limit.
1911 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1912 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1913 new client connections.
1914 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1915 required pagedevice parameters.
1916 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1917 under Linux.
1918 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1919 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1920 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1921 would stop processing.
1922 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1923 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1924 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1925 that was currently printing a job.
1926 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1927 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1928 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1929 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1930 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1931 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1932 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1933 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1934 option values separated by commas.
1935 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1936 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1937 and free bytes once a minute)
1938 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1939 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1940 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1941 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1942 printers.
1943 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1944 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1945 requests from that address to the server name.
1946 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1947 server.domain.com to localhost.
1948 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1949 the previous device and driver settings (except
1950 for serial ports.)
1951 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1952 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1953 after a job is completed when job file history is
1954 turned off.
1955 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1956 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1957 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1958 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1959 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1960 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1961 for "lpstat -v" output.
1962 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1963 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1964 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1965 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1966 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1967 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1968 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1969 by itself without quoting.
1970
1971
1972CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1973
1974 - Makefile/configure fixes
1975 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1976 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1977 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1978 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1979 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1980 number generator for certificates.
1981 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1982 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1983 the filter user, typically "lp".
1984 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1985 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1986 user.
1987 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1988 function.
1989 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1990 standard input.
1991 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1992 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1993 page header as needed.
1994 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1995 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1996 immediately when last-document was true.
1997 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1998 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1999 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2000 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2001 and many PS printers.
2002 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2003 filters.
2004 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2005 debugging problems.
2006 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2007 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2008 calling problem...)
2009 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2010 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2011 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2012 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2013 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2014 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2015 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2016 by default.
2017 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2018 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2019 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2020 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2021 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2022 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2023 CUPS software.
2024

2026CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2027
2028 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2029 old PDF filter files.

2031 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2032 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2033 network devices.
2034 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2035 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2036 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2037 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2038 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2039 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2040 is defined otherwise.
2041 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.

2043 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2044 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2045 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2046 0-length PPD file was read.
2047 - The image filters were not handling images with
2048 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2049 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2050 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2051 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2052 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2053 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2054 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2055 documents if they don't have it.
2056 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2057 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2058 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2059 --prefix was specified.
2060 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2061 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2062 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2063 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2064 color mode until it can be fixed.
2065 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2066 correctly in all cases.
2067 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2068 time in banner files.
2069
2070
2071CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2072
2073 - Documentation updates.
2074 - Configuration script updates.
2075 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2076 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2077 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2078 ppd_file_t structure.
2079 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2080 before it was used.
2081 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2082 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2083 the localhost address.
2084 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2085 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2086 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2087 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2088 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2089 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2090 PDF support.
2091 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2092 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2093 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2094 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2095 pstoraster.
2096 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2097 the user.
2098 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2099 not running.
2100 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2101 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2102 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2103 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2104 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2105 setpagedevice operator.
2106 - The web administration interface now allows you to set

2109 "position" option.
2110 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2111 support "%s" to insert the server name.

2113 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2114 "printer@server") when possible.
2115 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2116 with no PageSize attributes.
2117 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2118 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2119 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2120 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2121 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2122 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2123 cupsd.
2124 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2125 locations.
2126 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2127 variables to specify installation directories as
2128 needed.
2129 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2130 when the scheduler is started.
2131 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2132 printer.
2133 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2134 printer are automatically deleted.
2135 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2136 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2137 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2138 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2139 request.
2140 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2141 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2142 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2143 is "no-hold".
2144 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2145 responses.
2146 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2147 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2148 printer.
2149 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2150 request fails.
2151 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2152 printer and class names.
2153 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2154 received in a POST request.
2155
2156
2157CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2158
2159 - Documentation updates.
2160 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2161 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2162 method.
2163 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2164 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2165 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2166 - Missing the job-restart template.
2167 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2168 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2169 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2170 not specified.
2171 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2172 from getting through.
2173 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2174 stderr.
2175 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2176 job name and display string, if supported.
2177 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2178 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2179 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2180 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2181 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2182 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2183 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2184 UTF-8...
2185 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2186 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2187 could cause cupsd to crash.
2188 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2189 crash.
2190 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2191 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2192 "HH:MM:SS".
2193 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2194 connection structure.
2195 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2196 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2197 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2198 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2199 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2200 is a potential security hole.
2201 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2202 new pstoraster.
2203 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2204 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2205 (/dev/usblp#)
2206 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2207 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2208 release.
2209
2210
2211CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2212
2213 - Documentation updates.
2214 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2215 now compile better under *BSD.)
2216 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2217 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2218 tray was selected.
2219 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2220 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2221 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2222 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2223 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2224 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2225 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2226 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2227 can handle.
2228 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2229 cause cupsd to crash.
2230 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2231 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2232 mime.types file.
2233 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2234 of file to be used as a banner.
2235 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2236 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2237 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2238 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2239 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2240 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2241 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2242 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2243 the IANA registrations.
2244 - New PostScript banner pages.
2245 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2246 filter.
2247 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2248 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2249 code.
2250 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2251 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2252 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2253 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2254 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2255 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2256 accurate width specification.
2257 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2258 files.
2259 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2260 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2261 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2262 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2263 that support it.
2264 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2265 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2266 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2267 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2268 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2269 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2270 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2271 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2272 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2273 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2274
2275
2276CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2277
2278 - Documentation updates.
2279 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2280 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2281 shell and Bash.
2282 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2283 code.
2284 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the

2287 output attributes to be set.
2288 - Added banner page support.
2289 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2290 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2291 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2292 timezone offset.
2293 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2294 file is generated).
2295 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2296 printers when they became available.
2297 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2298 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2299 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2300 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2301 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2302 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2303 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2304 (override with -f)
2305 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2306 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2307 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2308 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2309 folks.
2310 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2311 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2312 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2313 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2314 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2315 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2316 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2317 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2318 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2319 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2320 languages (still only have templates for English)
2321 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2322 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2323 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2324 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2325 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2326 needed for some sites)
2327 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2328 templates.
2329 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2330 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2331 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2332 specific printer.
2333 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2334 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2335 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2336 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2337 authentication.
2338 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2339 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2340 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2341 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2342 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2343 filter.
2344 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2345 US-ASCII.
2346 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2347 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2348 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2349 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2350 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2351 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2352 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2353 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2354 basis without environment variables.
2355 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2356
2357
2358CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2359
2360 - Documentation updates.
2361 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2362 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2363 printer.
2364 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2365 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2366 distribution.
2367 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2368 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2369 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2370 to match the IPP spec.
2371 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2372 (previously they would be ignored)
2373 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2374 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2375 machines.
2376 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2377 and printer.
2378 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2379 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2380 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2381 BrowseRelay directives.
2382 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2383 still receives information on remote printers.
2384 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2385 networks)
2386 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2387 of PPD files.
2388 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2389 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.

2412 was being used.
2413 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
