e309e07a 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
5
b07e0cc2 6 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
7 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
8 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
9 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
10 user - STR #48)
b01791df 11 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
12 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 13 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
14 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 15 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
16 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
17 was handled (STR #47)
18 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
19 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
20 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 21 - The scheduler did not put the
22 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
23 attributes group.
24 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
25 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 26 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 27 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
28 and #39)
254aa207 29 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
30 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
31 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
32 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
33 requirements (STR #33)
34 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
35 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
36 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
37 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 38 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
39 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
40 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
41 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 42 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
43 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
44 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 45 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 46 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 47 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
48 Jacke)
49 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
50 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 51
52
b696f4e3 53CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
54
ac098b06 55 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
56 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
57 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
58 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
59 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 60 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
61 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 62 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 63 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
64 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
65 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 66 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
67 not work.
c8a55d2c 68 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
69 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
70 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
71 was not added to the collection value.
72 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
73 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 74 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
75 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
76 directives.
77 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
78 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
79 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 80 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
81 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 82 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
83 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
84 #13)
b696f4e3 85 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
86 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
87 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 88 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 89 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
90 message files such as those used for the job history
91 in /var/spool/cups.
92
93
fc7f6f69 94CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 95
265fb4a4 96 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
97 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 98 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
99 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
100 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
101 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
102 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
103 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 104 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 105 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
106 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 107 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
108 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
109 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 110 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
111 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 112 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
113 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
114 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
115 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 116 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
117 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
118 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
119 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
120 your locale.
5073e3f8 121 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
122 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
123 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 124 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
125 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 126 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
127 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
128 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
129 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
130 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 131 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
132 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 133 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
134 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
135 respectively) and has some additional changes to
136 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
137 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 138 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 139 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
140 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 141 - Added support for STATE: messages
142 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
143 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 144 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
145 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
146 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
147 root.
4d4fb342 148 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
149 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 150 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 151 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
152 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
153 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
154 information.
d40085f1 155 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
156 field.
dd9e85de 157 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
158 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
159 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
160 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
161 attribute to control whether job history data is
162 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
163 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
164 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 165 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
166 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 167 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
168 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
169 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 170 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
171 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
172 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
173 Kubla]
3f2fa036 174 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
175 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
176 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
177 sent. It now only references attributes that change
178 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
179 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
180 2k.
181 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
182 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
183 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 184 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
185 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 186 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
187 printer was available.
188 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
189 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
190 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 191 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
192 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 193 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
194 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
195 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 196 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
197 the image on the page when printing in landscape
198 orientation.
b3291c5a 199 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
200 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
201 and ManualFeed commands.
202 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
203 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 204 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
205 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
206 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
207 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
208 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 209 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
210 list of available devices, when it should have been
211 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 212 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
213 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 214 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
215 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 216 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
217 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
218 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
219 up...
2e32fcdb 220 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
221 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
222 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
223 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 224 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
225 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
226 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
227 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 228 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
229 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 230 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
231 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
232 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 233 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
234 variable under MacOS X.
235 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
236 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 237 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
238 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 239 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
240 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
241 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 242 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
243 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 244 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
245 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
246 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 247 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 248 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
249 sequence.
49d1718a 250 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
251 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 252 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 253 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
254 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 255 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
256 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 257 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
258 Apple.
8bd0441f 259 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
260 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 261 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
262 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
263 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
264 option.
265 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
266 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 267 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
268 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
269 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 270 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
271 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
272 via IPP.
edd85093 273 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
274 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 275 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
276 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 277 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
278 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
279 means that printers that don't report their serial
280 numbers in the device ID string will not be
281 individually selectable.
d0598693 282 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
283 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 284 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 285 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
286 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
287 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
288 the same.
289 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
290 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
291 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 292 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
293 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 294 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
295 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 296 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
297 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
298 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 299 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
300 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 301 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
302 an attribute definition.
de218675 303 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
304 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
305 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
306 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 307 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
308 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
309 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
310 situations. The warning message is now written no more
311 than once per minute.
67fa1315 312 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
313 PS RIPs.
320115a7 314 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
315 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
316 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 317 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
318 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
319 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
320 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
321 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
322 program or man page files.
323
324
759f5023 325CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
326
e38a7cef 327 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
328 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
329 write a job control file.
f63a430f 330 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
331 directive to control whether new printers can be added
332 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
333 default is to not allow printers with these device
334 URIs.
767ae392 335 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
336 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
337 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 338 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
339 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
340 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
341 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 342 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
343 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 344 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
345 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
346 attacks.
901b295d 347 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
348 interface.
349 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
350 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
351 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 352 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
353 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
354 the scheduler did not close the connections
355 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 356 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
357 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 358 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
359 back to its original at the end of a job; this
360 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
361 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 362 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
363 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 364 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
365 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
366 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
367 PPD files.
dcc2e394 368 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
369 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
370 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 371 - The web interface did not always report the correct
372 error message.
759f5023 373 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
374 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
375 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
376 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
377 process from returning.
378
379
3cc7bca4 380CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
381
5c826e17 382 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
383 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 384 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 385 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
386 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 387 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
388 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
389 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
390 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
391 ticket data.
392 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
393 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
394 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 395 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
396 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
397 group membership still requires the account name to be
398 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 399 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
400 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
401 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
402 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 403 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
404 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 405 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
406 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
407 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
408 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
409 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 410 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
411 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 412 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
413 caused by servers sending the status line and
414 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 415 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
416 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
417 empty.
78143282 418 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
419 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 420 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
421 Windows.
f33d1239 422 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
423 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 424 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
425 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
426 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 427 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
428 (interrupted system call) errors.
429 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
430 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
431 caused by the child signal handler.
432 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
433 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
434 error.
e1e31a38 435 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
436 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 437 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
438 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 439 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
440 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
441 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 442 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
443 properly localized time string.
549d1888 444 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
445 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
446 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 447 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
448 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 449 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
450 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
451 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
452 scheduler.
453 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
454 scheduler so that the printer object information is
455 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
456 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
457 queues.
854d3bb2 458 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
459 filename.
137d4d44 460 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
461 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
462 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
463 automatic form feed.
464 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 465 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
466 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 467 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
468 MacOS X.
469 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
470 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
471 has been removed.
472
473
06415a96 474CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
475
727e6d14 476 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
477 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
478 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
479 printer.
480 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
481 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 482 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
483 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
484 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 485 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
486 you can display completed jobs as well as
487 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 488 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
489 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
490 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 491 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
492 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
493 occurs.
db628f45 494 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
495 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 496 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
497 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
498 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
499 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
500 the page number.
da312e94 501 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
502 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 503 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 504 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
505 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
506 banner pages.
25037b2b 507 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
508 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
509 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 510 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 511 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
512 reliably.
a9219725 513 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
514 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
515 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
516 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 517 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
518 connection when sending an error that requires the
519 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
520 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
521 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 522 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
523 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
524 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
525 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 526 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
527 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
528 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
529 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 530 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
531 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 532 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
533 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 534 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
535 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 536 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
537 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 538 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
539 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
540 defines a circular filter rule.
541 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
542 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 543 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
544 files.
5ca43bfd 545 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
546 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 547 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
548 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
549 compatibility).
879062a9 550 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 551 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
552 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
553 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 554 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
555 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 556 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
557 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
558 shutdown.
098f80c5 559 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
560 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
561 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 562 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
563 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
564 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
565 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 566 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
567 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
568 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 569 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
570 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 571 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
572 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
573 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
574 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 575 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
576 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
577 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 578 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
579 connect to the remote server name in a
580 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
581 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
582 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
583 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 584 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
585 the program would try to print the option letter that
586 caused the error using the wrong index into the
587 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 588 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
589 attributes from printer options in
590 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 591 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
592 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 593 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 594 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
595 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 596 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
597 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
598 characters.
599 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
600 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
601 the language mode.
602 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
603 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
604 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
605 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
606 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 607 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 608 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
609 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 610 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
611 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 612 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
613 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
614 driver.
997cf8b0 615 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
616 the next available printer rather than waiting until
617 that printer is available.
618 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
619 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
620 printer class instead of a normal printer.
621 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
622 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
623 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 624 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
625 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
626 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
627 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 628 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
629 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
630 to accept connections.
631 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
632 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
633 and current directory.
634 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
635 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
636 into the file type database would no longer be valid
637 for existing jobs.
638 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
639 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
640 actually provided.
641 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 642 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
643 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 644 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
645 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 646 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
647 case-insensitive.
648 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
649 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 650 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
651 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
652 Solaris.
b91c8a76 653 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
654 printing banner pages.
4f759211 655 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 656 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
657 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 658 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
659 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 660 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
661 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
662 file.
8ce19460 663 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
664 description from member printers.
fabb006b 665 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
666 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 667 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 668 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
669 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 670 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
671 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 672 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
673 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
674 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 675 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
676 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
677 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
678 up...
19e7b382 679 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
680 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
681 authentication didn't work for administration
682 operations.
103abc03 683 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
684 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 685 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
686 interface to "localhost".
687 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
688 response to queue state commands, but those commands
689 only return textual data.
690
691
7680b71d 692CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
693
694 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
695 string function header, which is required on systems
696 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
697 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
698 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
699 have to.
700
701
74cfdb8b 702CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
703
dab1a4d8 704 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
705 license exception.
611e4623 706 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
707 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 708 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
709 option if none is provided to automatically select the
710 correct tray.
ed6078a4 711 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
712 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
713 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
714 options.
715 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
716 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
717 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 718 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
719 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
720 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
721 queues) on the server.
722 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
723 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
724 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
725 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 726 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
727 set definitions.
a319615f 728 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
729 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 730 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
731 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 732 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 733 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 734 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
735 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 736 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
737 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 738 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
739 have a small comment header explaining where the file
740 comes from...
6df23e27 741 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 742 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 743 number-up-layout options.
415199da 744 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
745 using the default printer.
746 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
747 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
748 to allow for longer printer names.
749 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
750 history data.
751 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
752 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
753 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
754 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 755 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
756 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
757 caused problems on some installations that would
758 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
759 level 3.
760 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 761 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
762 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 763 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
764 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 765 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
766 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 767 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 768 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
769 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
770 (cupsd).
a4e23897 771 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
772 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
773 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
774 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 775 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
776 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
777 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
778 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
779 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
780 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
781 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
782 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
783 non-ISOLatin1 text.
784 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
785 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
786 of glyphs.
576b82ca 787 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
788 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
789 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
790 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 791 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
792 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
793 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
794 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
795 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 796 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
797 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 798 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
799 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 800 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
801 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 802 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
803 classes.
7200e26c 804 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
805 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
806 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 807 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
808 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
809 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
810 control and browsing based on the current interface
811 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 812 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
813 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 814 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
815 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
816 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
817 group.
f4647930 818 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
819 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 820 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
821 detects that the printer is not connected to the
822 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
823 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
824 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
825 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 826 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
827 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 828 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
829 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 830 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
831 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 832 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
833 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 834 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
835 generated dependencies.
836 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 837 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
838 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
839 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 840 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
841 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
842 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 843 - The backends now read print data using the read()
844 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
845 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 846 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
847 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 848 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
849 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
850 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
851 printers and classes all at once.
852 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
853 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 854 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
855 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
856 value.
1c9c423b 857 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
858 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
859 other options as strings.
f918a565 860 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
861 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
862 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 863 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
864 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
865 option.
74cfdb8b 866 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
867 integers and ranges.
868 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
869 language support for CUPS.
870
871
ee8b7dd3 872CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
873
843779ef 874 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 875 attribute name length or string with language value
876 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 877 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
878 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
879 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 880 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 881 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
882 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 883 - MacOS X fixes.
884 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
885 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
886 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
887 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 888 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
889 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
890 it from waiting for the job to complete when
891 communicating with some IPP implementations that
892 require it.
893
894
d2503e02 895CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
896
28a96fe2 897 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
898 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 899 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
900 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
901 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 902 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
903 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
904 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
905 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
906 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 907 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
908 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
909 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
910 *.convs files.
db911fcb 911 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
912 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
913 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
914 goes away.
7c587866 915 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
916 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 917 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 918 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 919 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 920 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
921 portion of the printer name, and since it would
922 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
923 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 924 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
925 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 926 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
927 connections to improve performance/response time.
928 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
929 from Andrea Suatoni.
930 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
931 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
932 tools support.
933 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
934 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
935 existed.
936 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
937 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 938 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
939 page-set option.
873a6f43 940 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
941 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 942 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
943 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
944 etc.)
bd73c81f 945 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
946 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
947 listing for a printer.
948 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
949 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
950 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 951 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
952 values.
dd5f3453 953 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
954 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 955 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
956 - Updated the Italian message translations.
957 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
958 files.
959 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
960 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 961 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
962 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
963 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 964 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
965 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 966 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
967 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 968 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
969 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 970 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
971 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
972 classification level, if set. This way the original
973 banner settings are preserved when classification
974 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 975 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
976 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 977 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
978 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
979 system default group was not used.
980 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
981 send multiple control files.
982 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
983 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
984 for the "https" scheme.
985 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
986 from the web interface for accounts other than
987 "root".
988 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
989 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
990 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
991 address properly.
992 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
993 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
994 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
995 inside a Location, which is not valid.
996 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
997 information under Linux.
998 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
999 option (if present) in PPD files.
1000 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1001 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1002 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1003 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1004 the lppasswd command.
1005 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1006 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1007 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1008 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1009 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1010 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1011 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1012 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1013 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1014 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1015 restarting cupsd.
1016 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1017 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1018 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1019 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1020 for commands on the standard input.
1021 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1022 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1023 pointer platforms...
1024
1025
1026CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1027
1028 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1029 files.
1030 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1031 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1032 destination type for the new destination.
1033 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1034 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1035 printer ACLs.
1036 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1037 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1038 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1039 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1040 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1041
1042
1043CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1044
1045 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1046 files.
1047 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1048 files.
1049 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1050 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1051 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1052 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1053 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1054 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1055 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1056 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1057 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1058 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1059 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1060 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1061 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1062 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1063 options exceeded 100...]
1064 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1065 was set to "No".
1066 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1067 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1068 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1069 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1070 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1071 faster.
1072 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1073 support properly support the "-h" or default
1074 server name.
1075 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1076 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1077 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1078 support printer instances.
1079 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1080 underline formatting.
1081 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1082 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1083 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1084 (-1).
1085 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1086 from printing to printers in that class.
1087 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1088 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1089 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1090 slower systems since more information had to be
1091 transferred from server to client.
1092 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1093 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1094 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1095 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1096 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1097 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1098 processing.
1099 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1100 to stderr instead of stdout...
1101 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1102 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1103 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1104 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1105 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1106 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1107 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1108 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1109 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1110 the Spanish banner files.
1111 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1112 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1113 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1114 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1115 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1116 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1117 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1118 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1119 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1120 information when printing via LPD.
1121 - Added many warning and informational messages
1122 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1123 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1124 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1125 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1126 provided.
1127 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1128 cupsd.conf.
1129 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1130 32k.
1131 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1132 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1133 possible.
1134 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1135 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1136 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1137 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1138 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1139 long values.
1140 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1141 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1142 to CGIs.
1143 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1144 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1145 time.
1146 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1147 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1148 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1149 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1150 result in a blank page being output...
1151 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1152 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1153 page comments when printing files directly...)
1154 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1155 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1156 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1157 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1158 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1159 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1160 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1161 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1162 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1163 original destination.
1164 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1165 requested-attributes attribute in the
1166 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1167 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1168 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1169 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1170 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1171 prints.
1172
1173
1174CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1175
1176 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1177 makefiles to install files properly.
1178
1179
1180CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1181
1182 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1183 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1184 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1185 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1186 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1187 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1188 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1189 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1190 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1191 server.
1192 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1193 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1194 with some types of flow control.
1195 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1196 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1197 server.
1198 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1199 lines in the configuration files.
1200 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1201 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1202 from the server.
1203 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1204 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1205 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1206 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1207 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1208 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1209 script. Previously the job's document format was
1210 used, which was incorrect.
1211 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1212 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1213 "raw" model from the command-line.
1214 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1215 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1216 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1217 printers.
1218 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1219 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1220 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1221 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1222 which caused some confusion... :)
1223 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1224 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1225
1226
1227CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1228
1229 - The configure script did not substitute the
1230 correct user and group names.
1231 - The configure script did not use the full path
1232 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1233 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1234 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1235 duplexing.
1236 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1237 distribution.
1238 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1239 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1240 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1241 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1242 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1243 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1244 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1245 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1246 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1247 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1248 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1249 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1250
1251
1252CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1253
1254 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1255 approach for the various tests.
1256 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1257 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1258 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1259 options to specify the default user and group for
1260 CUPS.
1261 - Added AIX shared library support.
1262 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1263 parallel ports.
1264 - Now use install program or script to install
1265 directories, files, and symlinks.
1266 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1267 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1268 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1269 print.
1270 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1271 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1272 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1273 64-bit boundary.
1274 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1275 skip the Digest keyword.
1276 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1277 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1278 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1279 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1280 authentication from passwd.md5.
1281 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1282 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1283 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1284 PPD files should start much faster now.
1285 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1286 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1287 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1288 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1289 times.
1290 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1291 code if an error occurred.
1292 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1293 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1294 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1295 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1296 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1297 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1298 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1299 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1300 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1301 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1302 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1303 copies would come out instead of N.
1304 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1305 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1306 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1307 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1308 output an even number of pages.
1309 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1310 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1311 from being cancelled early.
1312 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1313 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1314 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1315 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1316 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1317 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1318 "ESC i" graphics command.
1319 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1320 printers to a local class.
1321 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1322 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1323 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1324 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1325 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1326 printers that were part of a class.
1327 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1328 printer more than once.
1329 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1330 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1331 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1332 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1333 account.
1334 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1335 against a location of "/printers/name".
1336 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1337 upgrades properly.
1338 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1339 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1340 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1341 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1342 when using Digest authentication.
1343 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1344 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1345 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1346 file.
1347 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1348 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1349 server.
1350 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1351 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1352 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1353 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1354 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1355 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1356 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1357 not the empty string.
1358 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1359 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1360 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1361 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1362 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1363 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1364 supported file types into the
1365 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1366 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1367 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1368 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1369 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1370 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1371 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1372 or behave irratically.
1373 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1374 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1375 specified.
1376 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1377 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1378 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1379 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1380 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1381 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1382 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1383 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1384 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1385 location or description of the printer.
1386 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1387 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1388 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1389 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1390 multiple groups.
1391 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1392 Apache.
1393 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1394 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1395 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1396 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1397 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1398 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1399 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1400 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1401 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1402 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1403 Ghostscript code.
1404 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1405 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1406 size instead of percent of page size.)
1407 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1408 instead of root.
1409 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1410 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1411 size options.
1412 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1413 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1414 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1415 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1416 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1417 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1418 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1419 character.
1420
1421
1422CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1423
1424 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1425 package for pstoraster.
1426 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1427 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1428 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1429 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1430 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1431 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1432 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1433 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1434 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1435 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1436 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1437 history disabled.
1438 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1439 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1440 connections initially.
1441 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1442 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1443 throughout.
1444 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1445 Richard Begg.)
1446 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1447 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1448 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1449 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1450 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1451 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1452 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1453 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1454 #54489...
1455 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1456 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1457 (only affects page-label and Classification
1458 options.)
1459 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1460 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1461
1462
1463CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1464
1465 - Configuration script changes, including new
1466 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1467 documentation and web content according to your
1468 favorite version of the FHS.
1469 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1470 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1471 test CUPS prior to installation.
1472 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1473 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1474 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1475 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1476 directives.
1477 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1478 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1479 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1480 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1481 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1482 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1483 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1484 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1485 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1486 formats are supported at present.)
1487 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1488 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1489 all browsing off.
1490 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1491 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1492 document.
1493 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1494 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1495 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1496 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1497 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1498 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1499 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1500 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1501 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1502 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1503 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1504 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1505 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1506 server.
1507 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1508 PJL commands from PPD files.
1509 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1510 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1511 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1512 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1513 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1514 the next/current job in the queue.
1515 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1516 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1517 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1518 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1519 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1520 for Sun Raster images.
1521 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1522 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1523 function.
1524 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1525 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1526 command when printing to USB devices.
1527 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1528 the cupsd.conf file.
1529 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1530 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1531 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1532 /dev/urandom.
1533 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1534 httpGetSubField().
1535 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1536 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1537 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1538 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1539 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1540 CGI was currently running.
1541 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1542 option=true or option=false.
1543 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1544 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1545 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1546 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1547 could cause it to crash.
1548 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1549 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1550 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1551 attribute when altering a job.
1552 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1553 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1554 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1555 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1556 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1557 addresses.
1558 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1559 the current classification on each page.
1560 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1561 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1562 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1563 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1564 encryption.
1565 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1566 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1567 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1568 support instances.
1569 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1570 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1571 and should never be used in a production environment.
1572 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1573 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1574 interface.
1575 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1576 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1577 prevent caching of the results.
1578 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1579 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1580 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1581 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1582 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1583 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1584 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1585 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1586 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1587 submitted by a user.
1588 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1589 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1590 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1591 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1592 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1593 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1594 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1595 embedded spaces.
1596 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1597 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1598 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1599 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1600 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1601 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1602 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1603 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1604 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1605 by the GIMP.
1606 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1607 bypassed the authentication checks.
1608 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1609 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1610 a race condition between the client and server for the
1611 upgrade to TLS.
1612 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1613 the pstops filter.
1614 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1615 the custom page size in the raster header.
1616 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1617 size to the size of the printed image.
1618 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1619 which are required by some printers.
1620 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1621 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1622 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1623 DSC).
1624 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1625 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1626 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1627 driver.
1628 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1629 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1630 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1631 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1632 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1633 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1634 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1635 address this problem.
1636 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1637 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1638 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1639 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1640 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1641 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1642 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1643 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1644 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1645 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1646 to manage print jobs.
1647 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1648 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1649 of 0 length.
1650 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1651 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1652 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1653
1654
1655CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1656
1657 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1658 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1659 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1660 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1661 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1662 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1663 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1664 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1665 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1666 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1667 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1668 /dev/ulptN.
1669 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1670 classes it was a member of.
1671 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1672 implicit status of a class.
1673 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1674 from implicit classes.
1675 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1676 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1677 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1678 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1679 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1680 of the scheduler.
1681 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1682 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1683 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1684 the /#copies variable anymore.
1685 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1686 option.
1687 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1688 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1689 for a bad-request error)
1690 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1691 unimplemented, not invalid.
1692 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1693 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1694 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1695 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1696 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1697 (pstoraster).
1698 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1699 which are not used.
1700 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1701 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1702 cgi_initialize_string().
1703 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1704 ippSetCGIVars()
1705 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1706 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1707 leaks.
1708 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1709 fails.
1710 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1711 setuid() calls.
1712 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1713 calls.
1714 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1715 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1716 bad input.
1717 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1718 missing hex digits.
1719
1720
1721CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1722
1723 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1724 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1725 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1726 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1727 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1728 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1729 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1730 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1731 corruption on many printers)
1732 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1733 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1734 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1735 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1736 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1737 requests.
1738 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1739 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1740 was lost.
1741 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1742 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1743 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1744 to be used for a socket.
1745 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1746 a set were numeric or string types.
1747 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1748 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1749 reading *.conf files.
1750 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1751 same logic as GET requests.
1752 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1753 /index.html to requested directory name.
1754 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1755 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1756 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1757 instead of mode 0600.
1758 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1759 instead of 0600.
1760 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1761 system name in log filenames.
1762 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1763 and hex strings.
1764
1765
1766CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1767
1768 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1769 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1770 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1771
1772
1773CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1774
1775 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1776 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1777 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1778 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1779 filter programs properly.
1780 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1781 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1782 versions of GCC.
1783 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1784 cancelled in StartJob().
1785 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1786 written with restricted permissions.
1787 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1788 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1789 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1790 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1791 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1792 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1793 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1794 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1795 syslog file.
1796 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1797 and only specifies the document format if it is
1798 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1799 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1800 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1801 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1802 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1803 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1804 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1805 cancelled.
1806 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1807 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1808 sporatic web interface problems.
1809 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1810 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1811 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1812 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1813 whitespace.
1814 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1815 instead of an integer.
1816 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1817 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1818 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1819 and user-level access control.
1820 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1821 encryption.
1822 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1823 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1824 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1825 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1826 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1827 to the man page.
1828 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1829 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1830 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1831 queued for a printer.
1832 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1833 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1834 reporting.
1835
1836
1837CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1838
1839 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1840 code.
1841 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1842 check in backend/serial.c.
1843 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1844 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1845 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1846 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1847 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1848 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1849 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1850 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1851 anyways)
1852
1853
1854CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1855
1856 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1857 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1858 for run level 5.
1859 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1860 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1861 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1862 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1863 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1864 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1865 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1866
1867
1868CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1869
1870 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1871 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1872 access from the local system.
1873 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1874 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1875 - Documentation updates.
1876 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1877 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1878 RedHat or Mandrake.
1879 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1880 warnings.
1881 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1882 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1883 hex)
1884 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1885 crash the server.
1886 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1887 correct value length for name-with-language and
1888 text-with-language attributes.
1889 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1890 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1891 efficient IPP server performance.
1892 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1893 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1894 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1895 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1896 attack.
1897 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1898 data required when getting the list of printer or
1899 class information. This should improve performance
1900 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1901 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1902 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1903 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1904 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1905 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1906 override the lpoptions default printer.
1907 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1908 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1909 attributes.
1910 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1911 did not check for the correct value for collated
1912 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1913 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1914 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1915 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1916 scale mode 2.
1917 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1918 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1919 that started with a number.
1920 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1921 multiple times in name-with-language and
1922 text-with-language attributes.
1923 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1924 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1925 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1926 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1927 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1928 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1929 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1930 close the spool directory.
1931 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1932 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1933 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1934 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1935 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1936 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1937 larger than the source string; this protects
1938 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1939 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1940 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1941 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1942 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1943 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1944 remote printers.
1945 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1946 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1947 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1948 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1949 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1950 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1951 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1952 3-argument contains() function.
1953 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1954 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1955 database containing 0 printers.
1956 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1957 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1958 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1959 printer was always busy.
1960 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1961 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1962 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1963 jobs.
1964 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1965 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1966 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1967 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1968 57600 and 115200 baud.
1969 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1970 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1971 option in the device URI.
1972 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1973 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1974 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1975 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1976 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1977 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1978 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1979 job attributes to be changed.
1980 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1981 web interface.
1982 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1983 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1984 since they do not map)
1985 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1986 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1987 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1988 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1989 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1990 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1991 child signals while loading devices.
1992 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1993 and classes.
1994 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1995 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1996 driver dithering code.
1997 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1998 after the first active printer.
1999 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2000 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2001 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2002 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2003 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2004 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2005 accepted null values.
2006 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2007 of the backends.
2008 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2009 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2010 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2011 is set in the plot file.
2012 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2013 user name, causing it to always fail.
2014 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2015 under Windows.
2016 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2017 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2018 didn't handle control file job information in any
2019 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2020 a file.
2021 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2022 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2023 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2024 printing on some systems.
2025 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2026 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2027 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2028 it.
2029
2030
2031CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2032
2033 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2034 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2035 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2036 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2037 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2038 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2039 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2040 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2041 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2042 order, which prevented remote printing.
2043 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2044 IPP requests and language information when closing
2045 a client connection.
2046 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2047 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2048 compatibles)
2049 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2050 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2051 on many OS's.
2052 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2053 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2054 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2055 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2056 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2057 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2058 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2059 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2060 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2061 PPD files.
2062 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2063 when the destination printer supported it. This
2064 caused problems when printing text files to other
2065 CUPS servers.
2066 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2067 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2068 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2069 the dates.)
2070 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2071 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2072 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2073 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2074 be clipped.
2075
2076
2077CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2078
2079 - Makefile fixes.
2080 - RPM spec file changes.
2081 - Documentation updates.
2082 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2083 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2084 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2085 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2086 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2087 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2088 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2089 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2090 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2091 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2092 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2093 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2094 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2095 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2096 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2097 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2098 specified.
2099 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2100 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2101 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2102 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2103 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2104 cupsd.conf.
2105 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2106 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2107 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2108 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2109 filter mode 'l'.
2110 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2111 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2112 defaults for all print queues.
2113 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2114 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2115 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2116 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2117 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2118 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2119 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2120 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2121 printer was defined with the same name.
2122 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2123 remove options for a printer or instance.
2124 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2125 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2126 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2127 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2128 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2129 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2130 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2131 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2132 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2133 job-printer-uri attribute.
2134 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2135 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2136 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2137 remote printers.
2138 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2139 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2140 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2141 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2142 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2143 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2144 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2145 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2146 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2147 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2148 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2149 printer set using lpoptions.
2150 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2151 list the printer-specific options and their current
2152 settings.
2153 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2154 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2155 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2156 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2157 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2158 text printing.
2159 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2160 instances.
2161 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2162 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2163 limit.
2164 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2165 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2166 new client connections.
2167 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2168 required pagedevice parameters.
2169 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2170 under Linux.
2171 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2172 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2173 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2174 would stop processing.
2175 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2176 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2177 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2178 that was currently printing a job.
2179 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2180 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2181 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2182 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2183 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2184 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2185 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2186 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2187 option values separated by commas.
2188 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2189 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2190 and free bytes once a minute)
2191 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2192 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2193 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2194 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2195 printers.
2196 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2197 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2198 requests from that address to the server name.
2199 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2200 server.domain.com to localhost.
2201 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2202 the previous device and driver settings (except
2203 for serial ports.)
2204 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2205 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2206 after a job is completed when job file history is
2207 turned off.
2208 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2209 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2210 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2211 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2212 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2213 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2214 for "lpstat -v" output.
2215 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2216 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2217 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2218 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2219 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2220 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2221 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2222 by itself without quoting.
2223
2224
2225CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2226
2227 - Makefile/configure fixes
2228 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2229 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2230 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2231 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2232 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2233 number generator for certificates.
2234 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2235 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2236 the filter user, typically "lp".
2237 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2238 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2239 user.
2240 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2241 function.
2242 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2243 standard input.
2244 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2245 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2246 page header as needed.
2247 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2248 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2249 immediately when last-document was true.
2250 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2251 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2252 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2253 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2254 and many PS printers.
2255 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2256 filters.
2257 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2258 debugging problems.
2259 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2260 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2261 calling problem...)
2262 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2263 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2264 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2265 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2266 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2267 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2268 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2269 by default.
2270 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2271 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2272 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2273 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2274 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2275 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2276 CUPS software.
2277
2278
2279CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2280
2281 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2282 old PDF filter files.
2283 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2284 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2285 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2286 network devices.
2287 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2288 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2289 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2290 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2291 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2292 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2293 is defined otherwise.
2294 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2295 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2296 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2297 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2298 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2299 0-length PPD file was read.
2300 - The image filters were not handling images with
2301 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2302 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2303 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2304 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2305 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2306 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2307 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2308 documents if they don't have it.
2309 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2310 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2311 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2312 --prefix was specified.
2313 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2314 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2315 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2316 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2317 color mode until it can be fixed.
2318 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2319 correctly in all cases.
2320 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2321 time in banner files.
2322
2323
2324CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2325
2326 - Documentation updates.
2327 - Configuration script updates.
2328 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2329 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2330 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2331 ppd_file_t structure.
2332 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2333 before it was used.
2334 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2335 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2336 the localhost address.
2337 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2338 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2339 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2340 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2341 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2342 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2343 PDF support.
2344 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2345 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2346 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2347 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2348 pstoraster.
2349 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2350 the user.
2351 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2352 not running.
2353 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2354 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2355 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2356 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2357 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2358 setpagedevice operator.
2359 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2360 the default banner pages.
2361 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2362 "position" option.
2363 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2364 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2365 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2366 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2367 "printer@server") when possible.
2368 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2369 with no PageSize attributes.
2370 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2371 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2372 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2373 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2374 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2375 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2376 cupsd.
2377 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2378 locations.
2379 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2380 variables to specify installation directories as
2381 needed.
2382 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2383 when the scheduler is started.
2384 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2385 printer.
2386 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2387 printer are automatically deleted.
2388 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2389 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2390 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2391 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2392 request.
2393 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2394 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2395 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2396 is "no-hold".
2397 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2398 responses.
2399 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2400 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2401 printer.
2402 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2403 request fails.
2404 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2405 printer and class names.
2406 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2407 received in a POST request.
2408
2409
2410CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2411
2412 - Documentation updates.
2413 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2414 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2415 method.
2416 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2417 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2418 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2419 - Missing the job-restart template.
2420 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2421 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2422 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2423 not specified.
2424 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2425 from getting through.
2426 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2427 stderr.
2428 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2429 job name and display string, if supported.
2430 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2431 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2432 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2433 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2434 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2435 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2436 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2437 UTF-8...
2438 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2439 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2440 could cause cupsd to crash.
2441 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2442 crash.
2443 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2444 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2445 "HH:MM:SS".
2446 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2447 connection structure.
2448 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2449 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2450 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2451 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2452 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2453 is a potential security hole.
2454 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2455 new pstoraster.
2456 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2457 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2458 (/dev/usblp#)
2459 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2460 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2461 release.
2462
2463
2464CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2465
2466 - Documentation updates.
2467 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2468 now compile better under *BSD.)
2469 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2470 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2471 tray was selected.
2472 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2473 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2474 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2475 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2476 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2477 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2478 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2479 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2480 can handle.
2481 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2482 cause cupsd to crash.
2483 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2484 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2485 mime.types file.
2486 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2487 of file to be used as a banner.
2488 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2489 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2490 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2491 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2492 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2493 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2494 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2495 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2496 the IANA registrations.
2497 - New PostScript banner pages.
2498 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2499 filter.
2500 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2501 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2502 code.
2503 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2504 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2505 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2506 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2507 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2508 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2509 accurate width specification.
2510 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2511 files.
2512 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2513 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2514 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2515 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2516 that support it.
2517 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2518 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2519 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2520 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2521 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2522 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2523 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2524 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2525 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2526 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2527
2528
2529CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2530
2531 - Documentation updates.
2532 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2533 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2534 shell and Bash.
2535 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2536 code.
2537 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2538 manufacturer in the PPD.
2539 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2540 output attributes to be set.
2541 - Added banner page support.
2542 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2543 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2544 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2545 timezone offset.
2546 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2547 file is generated).
2548 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2549 printers when they became available.
2550 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2551 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2552 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2553 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2554 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2555 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2556 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2557 (override with -f)
2558 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2559 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2560 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2561 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2562 folks.
2563 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2564 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2565 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2566 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2567 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2568 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2569 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2570 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2571 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2572 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2573 languages (still only have templates for English)
2574 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2575 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2576 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2577 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2578 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2579 needed for some sites)
2580 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2581 templates.
2582 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2583 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2584 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2585 specific printer.
2586 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2587 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2588 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2589 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2590 authentication.
2591 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2592 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2593 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2594 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2595 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2596 filter.
2597 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2598 US-ASCII.
2599 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2600 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2601 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2602 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2603 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2604 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2605 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2606 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2607 basis without environment variables.
2608 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2609
2610
2611CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2612
2613 - Documentation updates.
2614 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2615 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2616 printer.
2617 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2618 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2619 distribution.
2620 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2621 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2622 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2623 to match the IPP spec.
2624 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2625 (previously they would be ignored)
2626 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2627 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2628 machines.
2629 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2630 and printer.
2631 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2632 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2633 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2634 BrowseRelay directives.
2635 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2636 still receives information on remote printers.
2637 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2638 networks)
2639 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2640 of PPD files.
2641 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2642 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2643 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2644 close their input files.
2645
2646

2654 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
2655 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
2656 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.

2665 was being used.
2666 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
