06415a96 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
5
801766ac 6 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
7 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
8 banner pages.
25037b2b 9 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
10 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
11 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
12 If a timeout occurs, it retries up to 10 times. This
13 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
14 reliably.
a9219725 15 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
16 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
17 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
18 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 19 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
20 connection when sending an error that requires the
21 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
22 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
23 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 24 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
25 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
26 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
27 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 28 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
29 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
30 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
31 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 32 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
33 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 34 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
35 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 36 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
37 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 38 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
39 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 40 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
41 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
42 defines a circular filter rule.
43 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
44 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 45 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
46 files.
5ca43bfd 47 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
48 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 49 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
50 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
51 compatibility).
879062a9 52 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 53 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
54 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
55 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 56 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
57 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 58 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
59 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
60 shutdown.
098f80c5 61 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
62 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
63 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 64 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
65 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
66 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
67 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 68 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
69 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
70 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 71 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
72 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 73 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
74 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
75 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
76 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 77 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
78 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
79 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 80 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
81 connect to the remote server name in a
82 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
83 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
84 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
85 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 86 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
87 the program would try to print the option letter that
88 caused the error using the wrong index into the
89 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 90 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
91 attributes from printer options in
92 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 93 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
94 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 95 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 96 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
97 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 98 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
99 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
100 characters.
101 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
102 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
103 the language mode.
104 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
105 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
106 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
107 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
108 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 109 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 110 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
111 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 112 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
113 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 114 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
115 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
116 driver.
997cf8b0 117 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
118 the next available printer rather than waiting until
119 that printer is available.
120 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
121 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
122 printer class instead of a normal printer.
123 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
124 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
125 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 126 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
127 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
128 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
129 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 130 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
131 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
132 to accept connections.
133 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
134 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
135 and current directory.
136 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
137 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
138 into the file type database would no longer be valid
139 for existing jobs.
140 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
141 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
142 actually provided.
143 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 144 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
145 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 146 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
147 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 148 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
149 case-insensitive.
150 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
151 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 152 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
153 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
154 Solaris.
b91c8a76 155 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
156 printing banner pages.
4f759211 157 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 158 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
159 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 160 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
161 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 162 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
163 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
164 file.
8ce19460 165 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
166 description from member printers.
fabb006b 167 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
168 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 169 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 170 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
171 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 172 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
173 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 174 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
175 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
176 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 177 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
178 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
179 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
180 up...
19e7b382 181 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
182 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
183 authentication didn't work for administration
184 operations.
103abc03 185 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
186 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 187 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
188 interface to "localhost".
189 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
190 response to queue state commands, but those commands
191 only return textual data.
192
193
7680b71d 194CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
195
196 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
197 string function header, which is required on systems
198 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
199 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
200 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
201 have to.
202
203
74cfdb8b 204CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
205
dab1a4d8 206 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
207 license exception.
611e4623 208 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
209 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 210 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
211 option if none is provided to automatically select the
212 correct tray.
ed6078a4 213 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
214 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
215 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
216 options.
217 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
218 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
219 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 220 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
221 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
222 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
223 queues) on the server.
224 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
225 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
226 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
227 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 228 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
229 set definitions.
a319615f 230 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
231 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 232 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
233 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 234 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 235 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 236 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
237 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 238 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
239 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 240 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
241 have a small comment header explaining where the file
242 comes from...
6df23e27 243 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 244 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 245 number-up-layout options.
415199da 246 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
247 using the default printer.
248 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
249 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
250 to allow for longer printer names.
251 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
252 history data.
253 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
254 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
255 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
256 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 257 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
258 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
259 caused problems on some installations that would
260 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
261 level 3.
262 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 263 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
264 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 265 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
266 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 267 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
268 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 269 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 270 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
271 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
272 (cupsd).
a4e23897 273 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
274 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
275 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
276 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 277 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
278 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
279 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
280 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
281 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
282 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
283 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
284 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
285 non-ISOLatin1 text.
286 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
287 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
288 of glyphs.
576b82ca 289 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
290 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
291 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
292 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 293 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
294 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
295 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
296 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
297 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 298 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
299 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 300 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
301 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 302 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
303 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 304 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
305 classes.
7200e26c 306 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
307 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
308 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 309 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
310 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
311 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
312 control and browsing based on the current interface
313 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 314 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
315 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 316 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
317 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
318 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
319 group.
f4647930 320 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
321 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 322 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
323 detects that the printer is not connected to the
324 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
325 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
326 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
327 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 328 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
329 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 330 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
331 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 332 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
333 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 334 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
335 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 336 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
337 generated dependencies.
338 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 339 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
340 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
341 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 342 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
343 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
344 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 345 - The backends now read print data using the read()
346 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
347 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 348 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
349 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 350 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
351 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
352 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
353 printers and classes all at once.
354 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
355 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 356 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
357 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
358 value.
1c9c423b 359 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
360 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
361 other options as strings.
f918a565 362 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
363 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
364 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 365 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
366 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
367 option.
74cfdb8b 368 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
369 integers and ranges.
370 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
371 language support for CUPS.
372
373
ee8b7dd3 374CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
375
843779ef 376 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 377 attribute name length or string with language value
378 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 379 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
380 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
381 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 382 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 383 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
384 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 385 - MacOS X fixes.
386 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
387 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
388 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
389 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 390 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
391 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
392 it from waiting for the job to complete when
393 communicating with some IPP implementations that
394 require it.
395
396
d2503e02 397CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
398
28a96fe2 399 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
400 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 401 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
402 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
403 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 404 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
405 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
406 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
407 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
408 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 409 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
410 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
411 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
412 *.convs files.
db911fcb 413 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
414 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
415 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
416 goes away.
7c587866 417 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
418 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 419 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 420 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 421 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 422 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
423 portion of the printer name, and since it would
424 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
425 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 426 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
427 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 428 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
429 connections to improve performance/response time.
430 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
431 from Andrea Suatoni.
432 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
433 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
434 tools support.
435 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
436 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
437 existed.
438 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
439 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 440 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
441 page-set option.
873a6f43 442 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
443 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 444 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
445 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
446 etc.)
bd73c81f 447 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
448 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
449 listing for a printer.
450 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
451 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
452 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 453 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
454 values.
dd5f3453 455 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
456 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 457 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
458 - Updated the Italian message translations.
459 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
460 files.
461 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
462 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 463 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
464 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
465 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 466 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
467 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 468 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
469 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 470 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
471 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 472 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
473 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
474 classification level, if set. This way the original
475 banner settings are preserved when classification
476 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 477 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
478 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 479 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
480 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
481 system default group was not used.
482 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
483 send multiple control files.
484 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
485 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
486 for the "https" scheme.
487 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
488 from the web interface for accounts other than
489 "root".
490 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
491 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
492 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
493 address properly.
494 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
495 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
496 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
497 inside a Location, which is not valid.
498 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
499 information under Linux.
500 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
501 option (if present) in PPD files.
502 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
503 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
504 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
505 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
506 the lppasswd command.
507 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
508 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
509 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
510 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
511 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
512 directory and configuration files are owned by and
513 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
514 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
515 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
516 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
517 restarting cupsd.
518 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
519 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
520 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
521 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
522 for commands on the standard input.
523 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
524 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
525 pointer platforms...
526
527
528CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
529
530 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
531 files.
532 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
533 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
534 destination type for the new destination.
535 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
536 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
537 printer ACLs.
538 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
539 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
540 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
541 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
542 printer-make-and-model attribute.
543
544
545CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
546
547 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
548 files.
549 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
550 files.
551 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
552 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
553 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
554 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
555 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
556 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
557 the device list (lpinfo -m).
558 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
559 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
560 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
561 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
562 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
563 increment. [this caused some versions of the
564 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
565 options exceeded 100...]
566 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
567 was set to "No".
568 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
569 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
570 infinite loop when accepting a request.
571 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
572 functions to make IPP request/response processing
573 faster.
574 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
575 support properly support the "-h" or default
576 server name.
577 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
578 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
579 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
580 support printer instances.
581 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
582 underline formatting.
583 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
584 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
585 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
586 (-1).
587 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
588 from printing to printers in that class.
589 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
590 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
591 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
592 slower systems since more information had to be
593 transferred from server to client.
594 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
595 things like the job title. This had the potential for
596 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
597 machine); bug report from SuSE.
598 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
599 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
600 processing.
601 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
602 to stderr instead of stdout...
603 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
604 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
605 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
606 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
607 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
608 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
609 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
610 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
611 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
612 the Spanish banner files.
613 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
614 language abbreviation to use for all supported
615 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
616 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
617 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
618 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
619 anonymous printing (no username specified).
620 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
621 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
622 information when printing via LPD.
623 - Added many warning and informational messages
624 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
625 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
626 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
627 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
628 provided.
629 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
630 cupsd.conf.
631 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
632 32k.
633 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
634 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
635 possible.
636 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
637 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
638 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
639 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
640 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
641 long values.
642 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
643 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
644 to CGIs.
645 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
646 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
647 time.
648 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
649 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
650 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
651 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
652 result in a blank page being output...
653 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
654 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
655 page comments when printing files directly...)
656 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
657 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
658 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
659 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
660 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
661 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
662 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
663 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
664 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
665 original destination.
666 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
667 requested-attributes attribute in the
668 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
669 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
670 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
671 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
672 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
673 prints.
674
675
676CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
677
678 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
679 makefiles to install files properly.
680
681
682CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
683
684 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
685 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
686 to override the classification of individual jobs.
687 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
688 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
689 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
690 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
691 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
692 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
693 server.
694 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
695 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
696 with some types of flow control.
697 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
698 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
699 server.
700 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
701 lines in the configuration files.
702 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
703 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
704 from the server.
705 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
706 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
707 to the file: pseudo-backend.
708 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
709 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
710 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
711 script. Previously the job's document format was
712 used, which was incorrect.
713 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
714 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
715 "raw" model from the command-line.
716 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
717 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
718 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
719 printers.
720 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
721 Chinese text support compiled into it.
722 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
723 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
724 which caused some confusion... :)
725 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
726 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
727
728
729CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
730
731 - The configure script did not substitute the
732 correct user and group names.
733 - The configure script did not use the full path
734 to the install-sh script when it was used.
735 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
736 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
737 duplexing.
738 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
739 distribution.
740 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
741 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
742 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
743 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
744 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
745 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
746 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
747 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
748 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
749 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
750 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
751 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
752
753
754CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
755
756 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
757 approach for the various tests.
758 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
759 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
760 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
761 options to specify the default user and group for
762 CUPS.
763 - Added AIX shared library support.
764 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
765 parallel ports.
766 - Now use install program or script to install
767 directories, files, and symlinks.
768 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
769 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
770 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
771 print.
772 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
773 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
774 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
775 64-bit boundary.
776 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
777 skip the Digest keyword.
778 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
779 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
780 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
781 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
782 authentication from passwd.md5.
783 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
784 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
785 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
786 PPD files should start much faster now.
787 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
788 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
789 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
790 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
791 times.
792 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
793 code if an error occurred.
794 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
795 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
796 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
797 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
798 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
799 eliminates the buffer start bug.
800 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
801 the receiving device didn't support the copies
802 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
803 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
804 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
805 copies would come out instead of N.
806 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
807 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
808 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
809 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
810 output an even number of pages.
811 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
812 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
813 from being cancelled early.
814 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
815 instances, and options that are not defined by the
816 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
817 options from being used in individual user accounts.
818 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
819 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
820 "ESC i" graphics command.
821 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
822 printers to a local class.
823 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
824 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
825 - The scheduler did not load or save the
826 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
827 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
828 printers that were part of a class.
829 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
830 printer more than once.
831 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
832 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
833 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
834 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
835 account.
836 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
837 against a location of "/printers/name".
838 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
839 upgrades properly.
840 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
841 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
842 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
843 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
844 when using Digest authentication.
845 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
846 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
847 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
848 file.
849 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
850 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
851 server.
852 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
853 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
854 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
855 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
856 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
857 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
858 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
859 not the empty string.
860 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
861 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
862 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
863 unsupported attributes which should normally be
864 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
865 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
866 supported file types into the
867 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
868 clients to not send the local file type (such as
869 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
870 corresponding bad output in some cases.
871 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
872 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
873 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
874 or behave irratically.
875 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
876 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
877 specified.
878 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
879 completed or reported as "pending-held".
880 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
881 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
882 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
883 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
884 retrieve and update the server configuration files
885 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
886 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
887 location or description of the printer.
888 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
889 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
890 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
891 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
892 multiple groups.
893 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
894 Apache.
895 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
896 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
897 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
898 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
899 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
900 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
901 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
902 the page-ranges option from working properly.
903 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
904 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
905 Ghostscript code.
906 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
907 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
908 size instead of percent of page size.)
909 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
910 instead of root.
911 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
912 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
913 size options.
914 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
915 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
916 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
917 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
918 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
919 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
920 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
921 character.
922
923
924CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
925
926 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
927 package for pstoraster.
928 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
929 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
930 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
931 Guiliani for finding this bug!
932 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
933 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
934 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
935 - The IPP backend did not handle the
936 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
937 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
938 to stop on client machines when the server had job
939 history disabled.
940 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
941 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
942 connections initially.
943 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
944 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
945 throughout.
946 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
947 Richard Begg.)
948 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
949 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
950 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
951 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
952 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
953 in the first page instead of the document setup section
954 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
955 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
956 #54489...
957 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
958 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
959 (only affects page-label and Classification
960 options.)
961 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
962 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
963
964
965CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
966
967 - Configuration script changes, including new
968 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
969 documentation and web content according to your
970 favorite version of the FHS.
971 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
972 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
973 test CUPS prior to installation.
974 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
975 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 976 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
977 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 978 directives.
979 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
980 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
981 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
982 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
983 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
984 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
985 might not work with some LPD servers...)
986 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
987 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
988 formats are supported at present.)
989 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
990 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
991 all browsing off.
992 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
993 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
994 document.
995 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
996 to requests without the attributes-charset or
997 attributes-natural-language attributes.
998 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
999 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1000 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1001 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1002 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1003 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1004 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1005 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1006 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1007 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1008 server.
1009 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1010 PJL commands from PPD files.
1011 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1012 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1013 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1014 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1015 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1016 the next/current job in the queue.
1017 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1018 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1019 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1020 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1021 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1022 for Sun Raster images.
1023 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1024 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1025 function.
1026 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1027 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1028 command when printing to USB devices.
1029 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1030 the cupsd.conf file.
1031 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1032 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1033 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1034 /dev/urandom.
1035 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1036 httpGetSubField().
1037 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1038 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1039 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1040 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1041 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1042 CGI was currently running.
1043 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1044 option=true or option=false.
1045 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1046 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1047 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1048 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1049 could cause it to crash.
1050 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1051 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1052 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1053 attribute when altering a job.
1054 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1055 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1056 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1057 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1058 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1059 addresses.
1060 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1061 the current classification on each page.
1062 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1063 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1064 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1065 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1066 encryption.
1067 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1068 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1069 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1070 support instances.
1071 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1072 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1073 and should never be used in a production environment.
1074 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1075 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1076 interface.
1077 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1078 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1079 prevent caching of the results.
1080 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1081 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1082 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1083 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1084 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1085 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1086 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1087 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1088 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1089 submitted by a user.
1090 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1091 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1092 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1093 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1094 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1095 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1096 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1097 embedded spaces.
1098 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1099 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1100 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1101 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1102 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1103 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1104 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1105 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1106 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1107 by the GIMP.
1108 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1109 bypassed the authentication checks.
1110 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1111 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1112 a race condition between the client and server for the
1113 upgrade to TLS.
1114 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1115 the pstops filter.
1116 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1117 the custom page size in the raster header.
1118 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1119 size to the size of the printed image.
1120 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1121 which are required by some printers.
1122 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1123 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1124 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1125 DSC).
1126 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1127 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1128 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1129 driver.
1130 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1131 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1132 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1133 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1134 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1135 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1136 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1137 address this problem.
1138 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1139 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1140 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1141 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1142 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1143 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1144 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1145 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1146 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1147 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1148 to manage print jobs.
1149 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1150 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1151 of 0 length.
1152 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1153 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1154 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1155
1156
1157CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1158
1159 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1160 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1161 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1162 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1163 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1164 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1165 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1166 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1167 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1168 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1169 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1170 /dev/ulptN.
1171 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1172 classes it was a member of.
1173 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1174 implicit status of a class.
1175 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1176 from implicit classes.
1177 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1178 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1179 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1180 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1181 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1182 of the scheduler.
1183 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1184 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1185 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1186 the /#copies variable anymore.
1187 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1188 option.
1189 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1190 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1191 for a bad-request error)
1192 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1193 unimplemented, not invalid.
1194 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1195 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1196 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1197 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1198 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1199 (pstoraster).
1200 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1201 which are not used.
1202 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1203 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1204 cgi_initialize_string().
1205 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1206 ippSetCGIVars()
1207 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1208 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1209 leaks.
1210 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1211 fails.
1212 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1213 setuid() calls.
1214 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1215 calls.
1216 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1217 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1218 bad input.
1219 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1220 missing hex digits.
1221
1222
1223CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1224
1225 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1226 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1227 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1228 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1229 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1230 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1231 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1232 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1233 corruption on many printers)
1234 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1235 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1236 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1237 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1238 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1239 requests.
1240 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1241 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1242 was lost.
1243 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1244 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1245 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1246 to be used for a socket.
1247 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1248 a set were numeric or string types.
1249 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1250 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1251 reading *.conf files.
1252 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1253 same logic as GET requests.
1254 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1255 /index.html to requested directory name.
1256 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1257 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1258 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1259 instead of mode 0600.
1260 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1261 instead of 0600.
1262 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1263 system name in log filenames.
1264 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1265 and hex strings.
1266
1267
1268CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1269
1270 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1271 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1272 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1273
1274
1275CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1276
1277 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1278 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1279 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1280 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1281 filter programs properly.
1282 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1283 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1284 versions of GCC.
1285 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1286 cancelled in StartJob().
1287 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1288 written with restricted permissions.
1289 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1290 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1291 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1292 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1293 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1294 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1295 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1296 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1297 syslog file.
1298 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1299 and only specifies the document format if it is
1300 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1301 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1302 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1303 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1304 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1305 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1306 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1307 cancelled.
1308 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1309 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1310 sporatic web interface problems.
1311 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1312 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1313 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1314 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1315 whitespace.
1316 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1317 instead of an integer.
1318 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1319 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1320 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1321 and user-level access control.
1322 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1323 encryption.
1324 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1325 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1326 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1327 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1328 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1329 to the man page.
1330 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1331 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1332 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1333 queued for a printer.
1334 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1335 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1336 reporting.
1337
1338
1339CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1340
1341 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1342 code.
1343 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1344 check in backend/serial.c.
1345 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1346 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1347 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1348 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1349 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1350 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1351 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1352 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1353 anyways)
1354
1355
1356CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1357
1358 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1359 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1360 for run level 5.
1361 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1362 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1363 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1364 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1365 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1366 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1367 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1368
1369
1370CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1371
1372 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1373 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1374 access from the local system.
1375 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1376 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1377 - Documentation updates.
1378 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1379 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1380 RedHat or Mandrake.
1381 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1382 warnings.
1383 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1384 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1385 hex)
1386 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1387 crash the server.
1388 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1389 correct value length for name-with-language and
1390 text-with-language attributes.
1391 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1392 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1393 efficient IPP server performance.
1394 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1395 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1396 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1397 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1398 attack.
1399 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1400 data required when getting the list of printer or
1401 class information. This should improve performance
1402 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1403 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1404 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1405 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1406 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1407 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1408 override the lpoptions default printer.
1409 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1410 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1411 attributes.
1412 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1413 did not check for the correct value for collated
1414 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1415 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1416 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1417 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1418 scale mode 2.
1419 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1420 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1421 that started with a number.
1422 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1423 multiple times in name-with-language and
1424 text-with-language attributes.
1425 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1426 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1427 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1428 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1429 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1430 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1431 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1432 close the spool directory.
1433 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1434 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1435 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1436 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1437 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1438 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1439 larger than the source string; this protects
1440 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1441 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1442 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1443 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1444 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1445 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1446 remote printers.
1447 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1448 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1449 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1450 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1451 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1452 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1453 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1454 3-argument contains() function.
1455 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1456 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1457 database containing 0 printers.
1458 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1459 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1460 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1461 printer was always busy.
1462 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1463 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1464 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1465 jobs.
1466 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1467 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1468 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1469 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1470 57600 and 115200 baud.
1471 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1472 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1473 option in the device URI.
1474 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1475 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1476 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1477 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1478 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1479 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1480 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1481 job attributes to be changed.
1482 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1483 web interface.
1484 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1485 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1486 since they do not map)
1487 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1488 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1489 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1490 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1491 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1492 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1493 child signals while loading devices.
1494 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1495 and classes.
1496 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1497 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1498 driver dithering code.
1499 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1500 after the first active printer.
1501 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1502 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1503 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1504 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1505 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1506 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1507 accepted null values.
1508 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1509 of the backends.
1510 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1511 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1512 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1513 is set in the plot file.
1514 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1515 user name, causing it to always fail.
1516 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1517 under Windows.
1518 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1519 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1520 didn't handle control file job information in any
1521 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1522 a file.
1523 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1524 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1525 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1526 printing on some systems.
1527 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1528 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1529 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1530 it.
1531
1532
1533CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1534
1535 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1536 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1537 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1538 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1539 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1540 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1541 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1542 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1543 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1544 order, which prevented remote printing.
1545 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1546 IPP requests and language information when closing
1547 a client connection.
1548 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1549 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1550 compatibles)
1551 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1552 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1553 on many OS's.
1554 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1555 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1556 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1557 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1558 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1559 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1560 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1561 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1562 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1563 PPD files.
1564 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1565 when the destination printer supported it. This
1566 caused problems when printing text files to other
1567 CUPS servers.
1568 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1569 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1570 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1571 the dates.)
1572 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1573 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1574 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1575 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1576 be clipped.
1577
1578
1579CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1580
1581 - Makefile fixes.
1582 - RPM spec file changes.
1583 - Documentation updates.
1584 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1585 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1586 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1587 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1588 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1589 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1590 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1591 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1592 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1593 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1594 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1595 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1596 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1597 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1598 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1599 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1600 specified.
1601 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1602 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1603 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1604 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1605 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1606 cupsd.conf.
1607 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1608 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1609 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1610 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1611 filter mode 'l'.
1612 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1613 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1614 defaults for all print queues.
1615 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1616 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1617 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1618 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1619 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1620 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1621 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1622 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1623 printer was defined with the same name.
1624 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1625 remove options for a printer or instance.
1626 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1627 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1628 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1629 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1630 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1631 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1632 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1633 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1634 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1635 job-printer-uri attribute.
1636 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1637 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1638 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1639 remote printers.
1640 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1641 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1642 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1643 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1644 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1645 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1646 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1647 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1648 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1649 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1650 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1651 printer set using lpoptions.
1652 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1653 list the printer-specific options and their current
1654 settings.
1655 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1656 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1657 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1658 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1659 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1660 text printing.
1661 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1662 instances.
1663 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1664 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1665 limit.
1666 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1667 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1668 new client connections.
1669 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1670 required pagedevice parameters.
1671 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1672 under Linux.
1673 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1674 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1675 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1676 would stop processing.
1677 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1678 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1679 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1680 that was currently printing a job.
1681 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1682 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1683 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1684 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1685 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1686 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1687 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1688 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1689 option values separated by commas.
1690 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1691 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1692 and free bytes once a minute)
1693 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1694 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1695 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1696 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1697 printers.
1698 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1699 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1700 requests from that address to the server name.
1701 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1702 server.domain.com to localhost.
1703 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1704 the previous device and driver settings (except
1705 for serial ports.)
1706 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1707 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1708 after a job is completed when job file history is
1709 turned off.
1710 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1711 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1712 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1713 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1714 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1715 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1716 for "lpstat -v" output.
1717 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1718 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1719 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1720 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1721 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1722 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1723 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1724 by itself without quoting.
1725
1726
1727CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1728
1729 - Makefile/configure fixes
1730 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1731 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1732 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1733 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1734 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1735 number generator for certificates.
1736 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1737 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1738 the filter user, typically "lp".
1739 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1740 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1741 user.
1742 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1743 function.
1744 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1745 standard input.
1746 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1747 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1748 page header as needed.
1749 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1750 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1751 immediately when last-document was true.
1752 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1753 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1754 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1755 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1756 and many PS printers.
1757 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1758 filters.
1759 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1760 debugging problems.
1761 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1762 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1763 calling problem...)
1764 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1765 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1766 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1767 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1768 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1769 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1770 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1771 by default.
1772 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1773 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1774 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1775 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1776 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1777 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1778 CUPS software.
1779
1780
1781CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1782
1783 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1784 old PDF filter files.
1785 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1786 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1787 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1788 network devices.
1789 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1790 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1791 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1792 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1793 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1794 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1795 is defined otherwise.
1796 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1797 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1798 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1799 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1800 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1801 0-length PPD file was read.
1802 - The image filters were not handling images with
1803 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1804 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1805 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1806 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1807 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1808 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1809 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1810 documents if they don't have it.
1811 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1812 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1813 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1814 --prefix was specified.
1815 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1816 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1817 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1818 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1819 color mode until it can be fixed.
1820 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1821 correctly in all cases.
1822 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1823 time in banner files.
1824
1825
1826CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1827
1828 - Documentation updates.
1829 - Configuration script updates.
1830 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1831 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1832 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1833 ppd_file_t structure.
1834 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1835 before it was used.
1836 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1837 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1838 the localhost address.
1839 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1840 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1841 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1842 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1843 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1844 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1845 PDF support.
1846 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1847 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1848 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1849 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1850 pstoraster.
1851 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1852 the user.
1853 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1854 not running.
1855 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1856 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1857 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1858 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1859 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1860 setpagedevice operator.
1861 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1862 the default banner pages.
1863 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1864 "position" option.
1865 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1866 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1867 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1868 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1869 "printer@server") when possible.
1870 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1871 with no PageSize attributes.
1872 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1873 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1874 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1875 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1876 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1877 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1878 cupsd.
1879 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1880 locations.
1881 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1882 variables to specify installation directories as
1883 needed.
1884 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1885 when the scheduler is started.
1886 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1887 printer.
1888 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1889 printer are automatically deleted.
1890 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1891 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1892 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1893 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1894 request.
1895 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1896 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1897 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1898 is "no-hold".
1899 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1900 responses.
1901 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1902 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1903 printer.
1904 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1905 request fails.
1906 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1907 printer and class names.
1908 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1909 received in a POST request.
1910
1911
1912CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1913
1914 - Documentation updates.
1915 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1916 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1917 method.
1918 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1919 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1920 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1921 - Missing the job-restart template.
1922 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1923 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1924 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1925 not specified.
1926 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1927 from getting through.
1928 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1929 stderr.
1930 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1931 job name and display string, if supported.
1932 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1933 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1934 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1935 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1936 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1937 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1938 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1939 UTF-8...
1940 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1941 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1942 could cause cupsd to crash.
1943 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1944 crash.
1945 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1946 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1947 "HH:MM:SS".
1948 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1949 connection structure.
1950 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1951 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1952 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1953 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1954 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1955 is a potential security hole.
1956 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1957 new pstoraster.
1958 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1959 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1960 (/dev/usblp#)
1961 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1962 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1963 release.
1964
1965
1966CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1967
1968 - Documentation updates.
1969 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1970 now compile better under *BSD.)
1971 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1972 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1973 tray was selected.
1974 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1975 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1976 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1977 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1978 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1979 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1980 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1981 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1982 can handle.
1983 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1984 cause cupsd to crash.
1985 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1986 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1987 mime.types file.
1988 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1989 of file to be used as a banner.
1990 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1991 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1992 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1993 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream

2031CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2032

2038 code.
2039 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2040 manufacturer in the PPD.
2041 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2042 output attributes to be set.
2043 - Added banner page support.
2044 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2045 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2046 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2047 timezone offset.

2049 file is generated).
2050 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2051 printers when they became available.
2052 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2053 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2054 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2055 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2056 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2057 /usr/share/cups/banners)

2059 (override with -f)
2060 - Added several *BSD enhancements.

2063 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2064 folks.
2065 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2066 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2067 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2068 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2069 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2070 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2071 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2072 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2073 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2074 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2075 languages (still only have templates for English)
2076 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2077 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2078 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2079 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2080 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2081 needed for some sites)
2082 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2083 templates.
2084 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2085 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2086 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2087 specific printer.

2106 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2107 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2108 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2109 basis without environment variables.
2110 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2111
2112
2113CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2114
2115 - Documentation updates.
2116 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2117 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2118 printer.
2119 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2120 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2121 distribution.
2122 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2123 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2124 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language

2140 networks)
2141 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2142 of PPD files.
