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

1999
2000 - Documentation updates.
2001 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2002 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2003 method.
2004 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2005 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2006 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2007 - Missing the job-restart template.
2008 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2009 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2010 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2011 not specified.
2012 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2013 from getting through.
2014 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2015 stderr.
2016 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2017 job name and display string, if supported.
2018 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2019 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2020 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2021 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2022 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2023 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2024 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2025 UTF-8...
2026 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2027 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2028 could cause cupsd to crash.
2029 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2030 crash.
2031 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2032 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2033 "HH:MM:SS".
2034 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2035 connection structure.
2036 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2037 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2038 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2039 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2040 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2041 is a potential security hole.
2042 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2043 new pstoraster.
2044 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2045 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2046 (/dev/usblp#)
2047 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2048 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2049 release.

2051
2052CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2053
2054 - Documentation updates.
2055 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2056 now compile better under *BSD.)
2057 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2058 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2059 tray was selected.
2060 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2061 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2062 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2063 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2064 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2065 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2066 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2067 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2068 can handle.
2069 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2070 cause cupsd to crash.
2071 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2072 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2073 mime.types file.
2074 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2075 of file to be used as a banner.
2076 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2077 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2078 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2079 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2080 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2081 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2082 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2083 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2084 the IANA registrations.
2085 - New PostScript banner pages.
2086 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2087 filter.
2088 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2089 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2090 code.
2091 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2092 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2093 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2094 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2095 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2096 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2097 accurate width specification.
2098 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2099 files.
2100 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2101 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2102 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2103 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2104 that support it.
2105 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2106 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2107 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2108 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2109 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2110 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2111 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2112 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2113 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2114 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2115
2116
2117CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2118
2119 - Documentation updates.
2120 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2121 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2122 shell and Bash.
2123 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2124 code.
2125 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2126 manufacturer in the PPD.

2128 output attributes to be set.
2129 - Added banner page support.
2130 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2131 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2132 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2133 timezone offset.
2134 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2135 file is generated).
2136 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2137 printers when they became available.
2138 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2139 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2140 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2141 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2142 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2143 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2144 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2145 (override with -f)
2146 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2147 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2148 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2149 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2150 folks.
2151 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2152 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2153 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2154 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2155 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2156 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2157 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2158 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2159 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2160 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2161 languages (still only have templates for English)
2162 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2163 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2164 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2165 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2166 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2167 needed for some sites)
2168 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2169 templates.
2170 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2171 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2172 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2173 specific printer.
2174 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2175 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2176 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2177 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2178 authentication.
2179 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2180 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2181 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2182 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2183 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2184 filter.
2185 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2186 US-ASCII.
2187 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2188 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2189 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2190 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2191 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2192 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2193 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2194 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2195 basis without environment variables.
2196 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2197
2198
2199CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2200
2201 - Documentation updates.
2202 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2203 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2204 printer.
2205 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2206 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2207 distribution.
2208 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2209 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2210 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2211 to match the IPP spec.
2212 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2213 (previously they would be ignored)
2214 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2215 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2216 machines.
2217 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2218 and printer.
2219 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2220 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2221 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2222 BrowseRelay directives.
2223 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2224 still receives information on remote printers.
2225 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2226 networks)
2227 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2228 of PPD files.
2229 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2230 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2231 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2232 close their input files.

2253 was being used.
2254 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
