af57319f 14CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 15
1ed20df6 16 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
17 classes would get double banner pages for each
18 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 19 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
20 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 21 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
22 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
23 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 24 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
25 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
26 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
27 #70)
92498b68 28 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
29 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 30 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 31 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
32 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
33 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 34 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
35 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
36 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
37 annoying error message (STR #45)
38
39
2e6bce36 40CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 41
fb766c9e 42 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from

a0d4f607 47 - The German web interface templates did not use the
48 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 49 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
50 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 51 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
52 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
53 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
54
55
e309e07a 56CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
57
b07e0cc2 58 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
59 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
60 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
61 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
62 user - STR #48)
b01791df 63 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
64 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 65 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
66 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 67 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
68 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
69 was handled (STR #47)
70 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
71 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
72 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 73 - The scheduler did not put the
74 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
75 attributes group.
76 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
77 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 78 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 79 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
80 and #39)
254aa207 81 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
82 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
83 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
84 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
85 requirements (STR #33)
86 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
87 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
88 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
89 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 90 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
91 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
92 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
93 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 94 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
95 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
96 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 97 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 98 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 99 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
100 Jacke)
101 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
102 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 103
104
b696f4e3 105CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
106
ac098b06 107 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
108 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
109 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
110 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
111 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 112 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
113 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 114 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 115 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
116 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
117 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 118 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
119 not work.
c8a55d2c 120 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
121 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
122 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
123 was not added to the collection value.
124 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
125 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 126 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
127 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
128 directives.
129 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
130 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
131 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 132 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
133 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 134 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
135 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
136 #13)
b696f4e3 137 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
138 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
139 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 140 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 141 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
142 message files such as those used for the job history
143 in /var/spool/cups.
144
145
fc7f6f69 146CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 147
265fb4a4 148 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
149 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 150 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
151 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
152 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
153 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
154 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
155 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 156 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 157 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
158 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 159 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
160 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
161 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 162 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
163 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 164 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
165 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
166 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
167 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 168 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
169 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
170 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
171 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
172 your locale.
5073e3f8 173 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
174 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
175 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 176 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
177 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 178 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
179 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
180 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
181 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
182 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 183 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
184 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 185 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
186 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
187 respectively) and has some additional changes to
188 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
189 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 190 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 191 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
192 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 193 - Added support for STATE: messages
194 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
195 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 196 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
197 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
198 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
199 root.
4d4fb342 200 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
201 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 202 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 203 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
204 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
205 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
206 information.
d40085f1 207 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
208 field.
dd9e85de 209 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
210 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
211 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
212 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
213 attribute to control whether job history data is
214 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
215 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
216 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 217 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
218 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 219 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
220 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
221 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 222 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
223 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
224 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
225 Kubla]
3f2fa036 226 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
227 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
228 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
229 sent. It now only references attributes that change
230 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
231 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
232 2k.
233 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
234 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
235 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 236 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
237 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 238 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
239 printer was available.
240 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
241 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
242 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 243 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
244 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 245 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
246 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
247 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 248 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
249 the image on the page when printing in landscape
250 orientation.
b3291c5a 251 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
252 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
253 and ManualFeed commands.
254 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
255 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 256 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
257 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
258 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
259 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
260 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 261 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
262 list of available devices, when it should have been
263 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 264 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
265 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 266 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
267 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 268 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
269 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
270 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
271 up...
2e32fcdb 272 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
273 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
274 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
275 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 276 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
277 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
278 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
279 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 280 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
281 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 282 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
283 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
284 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 285 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
286 variable under MacOS X.
287 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
288 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 289 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
290 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 291 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
292 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
293 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 294 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
295 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 296 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
297 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
298 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 299 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 300 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
301 sequence.
49d1718a 302 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
303 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 304 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 305 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
306 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 307 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
308 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 309 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
310 Apple.
8bd0441f 311 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
312 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 313 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
314 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
315 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
316 option.
317 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
318 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 319 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
320 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
321 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 322 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
323 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
324 via IPP.
edd85093 325 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
326 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 327 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
328 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 329 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
330 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
331 means that printers that don't report their serial
332 numbers in the device ID string will not be
333 individually selectable.
d0598693 334 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
335 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 336 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 337 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
338 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
339 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
340 the same.
341 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
342 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
343 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 344 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
345 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 346 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
347 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 348 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
349 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
350 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 351 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
352 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 353 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
354 an attribute definition.
de218675 355 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
356 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
357 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
358 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 359 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
360 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
361 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
362 situations. The warning message is now written no more
363 than once per minute.
67fa1315 364 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
365 PS RIPs.
320115a7 366 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
367 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
368 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 369 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
370 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
371 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
372 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
373 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
374 program or man page files.
375
376
759f5023 377CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
378
e38a7cef 379 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
380 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
381 write a job control file.
f63a430f 382 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
383 directive to control whether new printers can be added
384 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
385 default is to not allow printers with these device
386 URIs.
767ae392 387 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
388 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
389 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 390 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
391 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
392 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
393 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 394 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
395 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 396 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
397 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
398 attacks.
901b295d 399 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
400 interface.
401 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
402 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
403 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 404 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
405 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
406 the scheduler did not close the connections
407 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 408 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
409 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 410 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
411 back to its original at the end of a job; this
412 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
413 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 414 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
415 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 416 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
417 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
418 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
419 PPD files.
dcc2e394 420 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
421 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
422 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 423 - The web interface did not always report the correct
424 error message.
759f5023 425 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
426 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
427 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
428 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
429 process from returning.
430
431
3cc7bca4 432CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
433
5c826e17 434 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
435 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 436 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 437 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
438 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 439 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
440 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
441 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
442 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
443 ticket data.
444 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
445 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
446 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 447 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
448 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
449 group membership still requires the account name to be
450 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 451 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
452 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
453 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
454 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 455 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
456 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 457 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
458 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
459 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
460 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
461 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 462 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
463 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 464 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
465 caused by servers sending the status line and
466 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 467 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
468 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
469 empty.
78143282 470 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
471 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 472 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
473 Windows.
f33d1239 474 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
475 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 476 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
477 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
478 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 479 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
480 (interrupted system call) errors.
481 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
482 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
483 caused by the child signal handler.
484 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
485 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
486 error.
e1e31a38 487 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
488 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 489 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
490 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 491 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
492 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
493 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 494 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
495 properly localized time string.
549d1888 496 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
497 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
498 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 499 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
500 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 501 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
502 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
503 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
504 scheduler.
505 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
506 scheduler so that the printer object information is
507 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
508 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
509 queues.
854d3bb2 510 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
511 filename.
137d4d44 512 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
513 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
514 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
515 automatic form feed.
516 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 517 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
518 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 519 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
520 MacOS X.
521 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
522 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
523 has been removed.
524
525
06415a96 526CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
527
727e6d14 528 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
529 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
530 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
531 printer.
532 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
533 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 534 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
535 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
536 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 537 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
538 you can display completed jobs as well as
539 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 540 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
541 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
542 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 543 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
544 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
545 occurs.
db628f45 546 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
547 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 548 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
549 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
550 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
551 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
552 the page number.
da312e94 553 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
554 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 555 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 556 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
557 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
558 banner pages.
25037b2b 559 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
560 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
561 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 562 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 563 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
564 reliably.
a9219725 565 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
566 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
567 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
568 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 569 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
570 connection when sending an error that requires the
571 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
572 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
573 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 574 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
575 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
576 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
577 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 578 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
579 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
580 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
581 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 582 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
583 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 584 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
585 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 586 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
587 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 588 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
589 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 590 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
591 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
592 defines a circular filter rule.
593 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
594 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 595 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
596 files.
5ca43bfd 597 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
598 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 599 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
600 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
601 compatibility).
879062a9 602 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 603 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
604 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
605 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 606 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
607 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 608 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
609 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
610 shutdown.
098f80c5 611 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
612 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
613 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 614 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
615 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
616 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
617 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 618 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
619 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
620 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 621 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
622 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 623 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
624 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
625 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
626 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 627 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
628 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
629 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 630 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
631 connect to the remote server name in a
632 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
633 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
634 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
635 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 636 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
637 the program would try to print the option letter that
638 caused the error using the wrong index into the
639 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 640 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
641 attributes from printer options in
642 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 643 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
644 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 645 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 646 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
647 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 648 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
649 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
650 characters.
651 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
652 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
653 the language mode.
654 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
655 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
656 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
657 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
658 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 659 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 660 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
661 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 662 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
663 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 664 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
665 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
666 driver.
997cf8b0 667 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
668 the next available printer rather than waiting until
669 that printer is available.
670 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
671 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
672 printer class instead of a normal printer.
673 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
674 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
675 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 676 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
677 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
678 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
679 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 680 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
681 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
682 to accept connections.
683 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
684 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
685 and current directory.
686 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
687 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
688 into the file type database would no longer be valid
689 for existing jobs.
690 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
691 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
692 actually provided.
693 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 694 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
695 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 696 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
697 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 698 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
699 case-insensitive.
700 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
701 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 702 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
703 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
704 Solaris.
b91c8a76 705 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
706 printing banner pages.
4f759211 707 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 708 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
709 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 710 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
711 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 712 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
713 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
714 file.
8ce19460 715 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
716 description from member printers.
fabb006b 717 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
718 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 719 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 720 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
721 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 722 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
723 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 724 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
725 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
726 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 727 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
728 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
729 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
730 up...
19e7b382 731 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
732 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
733 authentication didn't work for administration
734 operations.
103abc03 735 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
736 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 737 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
738 interface to "localhost".
739 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
740 response to queue state commands, but those commands
741 only return textual data.
742
743
7680b71d 744CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
745
746 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
747 string function header, which is required on systems
748 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
749 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
750 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
751 have to.
752
753
74cfdb8b 754CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
755
dab1a4d8 756 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
757 license exception.
611e4623 758 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
759 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 760 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
761 option if none is provided to automatically select the
762 correct tray.
ed6078a4 763 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
764 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
765 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
766 options.
767 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
768 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
769 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 770 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
771 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
772 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
773 queues) on the server.
774 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
775 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
776 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
777 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 778 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
779 set definitions.
a319615f 780 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
781 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 782 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
783 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 784 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 785 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 786 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
787 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 788 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
789 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 790 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
791 have a small comment header explaining where the file
792 comes from...
6df23e27 793 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 794 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 795 number-up-layout options.
415199da 796 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
797 using the default printer.
798 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
799 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
800 to allow for longer printer names.
801 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
802 history data.
803 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
804 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
805 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
806 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 807 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
808 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
809 caused problems on some installations that would
810 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
811 level 3.
812 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 813 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
814 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 815 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
816 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 817 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
818 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 819 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 820 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
821 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
822 (cupsd).
a4e23897 823 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
824 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
825 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
826 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 827 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
828 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
829 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
830 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
831 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
832 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
833 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
834 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
835 non-ISOLatin1 text.
836 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
837 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
838 of glyphs.
576b82ca 839 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
840 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
841 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
842 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 843 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
844 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
845 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
846 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
847 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 848 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
849 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 850 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
851 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 852 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
853 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 854 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
855 classes.
7200e26c 856 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
857 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
858 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 859 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
860 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
861 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
862 control and browsing based on the current interface
863 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 864 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
865 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 866 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
867 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
868 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
869 group.
f4647930 870 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
871 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 872 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
873 detects that the printer is not connected to the
874 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
875 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
876 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
877 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 878 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
879 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 880 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
881 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 882 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
883 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 884 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
885 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 886 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
887 generated dependencies.
888 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 889 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
890 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
891 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 892 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
893 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
894 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 895 - The backends now read print data using the read()
896 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
897 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 898 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
899 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 900 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
901 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
902 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
903 printers and classes all at once.
904 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
905 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 906 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
907 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
908 value.
1c9c423b 909 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
910 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
911 other options as strings.
f918a565 912 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
913 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
914 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 915 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
916 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
917 option.
74cfdb8b 918 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
919 integers and ranges.
920 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
921 language support for CUPS.

ee8b7dd3 924CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
925
843779ef 926 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 927 attribute name length or string with language value
928 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 929 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
930 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
931 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 932 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 933 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
934 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 935 - MacOS X fixes.
936 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
937 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
938 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
939 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 940 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
941 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
942 it from waiting for the job to complete when
943 communicating with some IPP implementations that
944 require it.
945
946
d2503e02 947CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
948
28a96fe2 949 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
950 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 951 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
952 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
953 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 954 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
955 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
956 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
957 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
958 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 959 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
960 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
961 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
962 *.convs files.
db911fcb 963 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
964 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
965 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
966 goes away.
7c587866 967 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
968 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 969 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 970 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 971 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 972 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
973 portion of the printer name, and since it would
974 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
975 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 976 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
977 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 978 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
979 connections to improve performance/response time.
980 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
981 from Andrea Suatoni.
982 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
983 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
984 tools support.
985 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
986 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
987 existed.
988 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
989 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 990 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
991 page-set option.
873a6f43 992 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
993 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 994 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
995 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
996 etc.)
bd73c81f 997 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
998 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
999 listing for a printer.
1000 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1001 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1002 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1003 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1004 values.
dd5f3453 1005 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1006 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1007 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1008 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1009 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1010 files.
1011 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1012 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1013 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1014 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1015 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1016 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1017 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1018 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1019 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1020 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1021 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1022 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1023 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1024 classification level, if set. This way the original
1025 banner settings are preserved when classification
1026 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1027 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1028 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1029 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1030 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1031 system default group was not used.
1032 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1033 send multiple control files.
1034 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1035 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1036 for the "https" scheme.
1037 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1038 from the web interface for accounts other than
1039 "root".
1040 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1041 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1042 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1043 address properly.
1044 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1045 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1046 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1047 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1048 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1049 information under Linux.
1050 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1051 option (if present) in PPD files.
1052 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1053 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1054 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1055 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1056 the lppasswd command.
1057 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1058 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1059 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1060 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1061 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1062 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1063 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1064 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1065 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1066 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1067 restarting cupsd.
1068 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1069 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1070 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1071 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1072 for commands on the standard input.
1073 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1074 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1075 pointer platforms...
1076
1077
1078CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1079
1080 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1081 files.
1082 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1083 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1084 destination type for the new destination.
1085 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1086 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1087 printer ACLs.
1088 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1089 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1090 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1091 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1092 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1093
1094
1095CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1096
1097 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1098 files.
1099 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1100 files.
1101 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1102 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1103 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1104 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1105 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1106 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1107 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1108 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1109 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1110 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1111 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1112 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1113 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1114 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1115 options exceeded 100...]
1116 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1117 was set to "No".
1118 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1119 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1120 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1121 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1122 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1123 faster.
1124 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1125 support properly support the "-h" or default
1126 server name.
1127 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1128 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1129 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1130 support printer instances.
1131 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1132 underline formatting.
1133 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1134 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1135 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1136 (-1).
1137 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1138 from printing to printers in that class.
1139 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1140 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1141 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1142 slower systems since more information had to be
1143 transferred from server to client.
1144 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1145 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1146 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1147 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1148 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1149 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1150 processing.
1151 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1152 to stderr instead of stdout...
1153 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1154 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1155 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1156 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1157 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1158 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1159 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1160 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1161 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1162 the Spanish banner files.
1163 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1164 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1165 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1166 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1167 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1168 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1169 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1170 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1171 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1172 information when printing via LPD.
1173 - Added many warning and informational messages
1174 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1175 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1176 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1177 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1178 provided.
1179 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1180 cupsd.conf.
1181 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1182 32k.
1183 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1184 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1185 possible.
1186 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1187 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1188 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1189 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1190 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1191 long values.
1192 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1193 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1194 to CGIs.
1195 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1196 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1197 time.
1198 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1199 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1200 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1201 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1202 result in a blank page being output...
1203 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1204 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1205 page comments when printing files directly...)
1206 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1207 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1208 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1209 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1210 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1211 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1212 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1213 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1214 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1215 original destination.
1216 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1217 requested-attributes attribute in the
1218 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1219 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1220 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1221 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1222 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1223 prints.
1224
1225
1226CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1227
1228 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1229 makefiles to install files properly.
1230
1231
1232CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1233
1234 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1235 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1236 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1237 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1238 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1239 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1240 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1241 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1242 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1243 server.
1244 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1245 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1246 with some types of flow control.
1247 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1248 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1249 server.
1250 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1251 lines in the configuration files.
1252 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1253 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1254 from the server.
1255 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1256 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1257 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1258 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1259 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1260 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1261 script. Previously the job's document format was
1262 used, which was incorrect.
1263 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1264 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1265 "raw" model from the command-line.
1266 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1267 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1268 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1269 printers.
1270 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1271 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1272 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1273 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1274 which caused some confusion... :)
1275 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1276 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1277
1278
1279CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1280
1281 - The configure script did not substitute the
1282 correct user and group names.
1283 - The configure script did not use the full path
1284 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1285 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1286 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1287 duplexing.
1288 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1289 distribution.
1290 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1291 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1292 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1293 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1294 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1295 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1296 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1297 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1298 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1299 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1300 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1301 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1302
1303
1304CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1305
1306 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1307 approach for the various tests.
1308 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1309 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1310 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1311 options to specify the default user and group for
1312 CUPS.
1313 - Added AIX shared library support.
1314 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1315 parallel ports.
1316 - Now use install program or script to install
1317 directories, files, and symlinks.
1318 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1319 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1320 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1321 print.
1322 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1323 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1324 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1325 64-bit boundary.
1326 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1327 skip the Digest keyword.
1328 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1329 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1330 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1331 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1332 authentication from passwd.md5.
1333 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1334 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1335 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1336 PPD files should start much faster now.
1337 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1338 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1339 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1340 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1341 times.
1342 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1343 code if an error occurred.
1344 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1345 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1346 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1347 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1348 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1349 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1350 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1351 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1352 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1353 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1354 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1355 copies would come out instead of N.
1356 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1357 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1358 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1359 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1360 output an even number of pages.
1361 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1362 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1363 from being cancelled early.
1364 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1365 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1366 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1367 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1368 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1369 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1370 "ESC i" graphics command.
1371 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1372 printers to a local class.
1373 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1374 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1375 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1376 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1377 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1378 printers that were part of a class.
1379 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1380 printer more than once.
1381 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1382 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1383 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1384 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1385 account.
1386 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1387 against a location of "/printers/name".
1388 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1389 upgrades properly.
1390 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1391 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1392 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1393 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1394 when using Digest authentication.
1395 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1396 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1397 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1398 file.
1399 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1400 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1401 server.
1402 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1403 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1404 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1405 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1406 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1407 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1408 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1409 not the empty string.
1410 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1411 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1412 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1413 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1414 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1415 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1416 supported file types into the
1417 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1418 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1419 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1420 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1421 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1422 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1423 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1424 or behave irratically.
1425 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1426 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1427 specified.
1428 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1429 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1430 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1431 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1432 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1433 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1434 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1435 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1436 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1437 location or description of the printer.
1438 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1439 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1440 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1441 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1442 multiple groups.
1443 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1444 Apache.
1445 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1446 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1447 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1448 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1449 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1450 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1451 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1452 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1453 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1454 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1455 Ghostscript code.
1456 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1457 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1458 size instead of percent of page size.)
1459 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1460 instead of root.
1461 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1462 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1463 size options.
1464 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1465 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1466 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1467 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1468 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1469 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1470 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1471 character.
1472
1473
1474CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1475
1476 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1477 package for pstoraster.
1478 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1479 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1480 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1481 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1482 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1483 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1484 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1485 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1486 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1487 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1488 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1489 history disabled.
1490 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1491 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1492 connections initially.
1493 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1494 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1495 throughout.
1496 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1497 Richard Begg.)
1498 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1499 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1500 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1501 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1502 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1503 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1504 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1505 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1506 #54489...
1507 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1508 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1509 (only affects page-label and Classification
1510 options.)
1511 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1512 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1513
1514
1515CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1516
1517 - Configuration script changes, including new
1518 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1519 documentation and web content according to your
1520 favorite version of the FHS.
1521 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1522 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1523 test CUPS prior to installation.
1524 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1525 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1526 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1527 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1528 directives.
1529 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1530 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1531 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1532 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1533 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1534 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1535 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1536 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1537 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1538 formats are supported at present.)
1539 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1540 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1541 all browsing off.
1542 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1543 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1544 document.
1545 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1546 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1547 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1548 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1549 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1550 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1551 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1552 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1553 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1554 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1555 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1556 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1557 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1558 server.
1559 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1560 PJL commands from PPD files.
1561 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1562 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1563 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1564 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1565 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1566 the next/current job in the queue.
1567 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1568 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1569 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1570 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1571 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1572 for Sun Raster images.
1573 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1574 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1575 function.
1576 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1577 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1578 command when printing to USB devices.
1579 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1580 the cupsd.conf file.
1581 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1582 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1583 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1584 /dev/urandom.
1585 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1586 httpGetSubField().
1587 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1588 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1589 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1590 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1591 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1592 CGI was currently running.
1593 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1594 option=true or option=false.
1595 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1596 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1597 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1598 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1599 could cause it to crash.
1600 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1601 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1602 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1603 attribute when altering a job.
1604 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1605 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1606 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1607 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1608 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1609 addresses.
1610 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1611 the current classification on each page.
1612 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1613 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1614 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1615 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1616 encryption.
1617 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1618 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1619 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1620 support instances.
1621 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1622 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1623 and should never be used in a production environment.
1624 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1625 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1626 interface.
1627 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1628 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1629 prevent caching of the results.
1630 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1631 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1632 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1633 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1634 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1635 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1636 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1637 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1638 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1639 submitted by a user.
1640 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1641 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1642 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1643 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1644 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1645 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1646 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1647 embedded spaces.
1648 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1649 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1650 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1651 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1652 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1653 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1654 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1655 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1656 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1657 by the GIMP.
1658 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1659 bypassed the authentication checks.
1660 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1661 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1662 a race condition between the client and server for the
1663 upgrade to TLS.
1664 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1665 the pstops filter.
1666 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1667 the custom page size in the raster header.
1668 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1669 size to the size of the printed image.
1670 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1671 which are required by some printers.
1672 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1673 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1674 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1675 DSC).
1676 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1677 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1678 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1679 driver.
1680 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1681 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1682 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1683 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1684 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1685 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1686 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1687 address this problem.
1688 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1689 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1690 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1691 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1692 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1693 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1694 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1695 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1696 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1697 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1698 to manage print jobs.
1699 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1700 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1701 of 0 length.
1702 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1703 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1704 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1705
1706
1707CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1708
1709 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1710 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1711 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1712 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1713 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1714 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1715 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1716 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1717 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1718 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1719 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1720 /dev/ulptN.
1721 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1722 classes it was a member of.
1723 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1724 implicit status of a class.
1725 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1726 from implicit classes.
1727 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1728 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1729 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1730 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1731 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1732 of the scheduler.
1733 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1734 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1735 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1736 the /#copies variable anymore.
1737 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1738 option.
1739 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1740 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1741 for a bad-request error)
1742 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1743 unimplemented, not invalid.
1744 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1745 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1746 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1747 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1748 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1749 (pstoraster).
1750 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1751 which are not used.
1752 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1753 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1754 cgi_initialize_string().
1755 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1756 ippSetCGIVars()
1757 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1758 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1759 leaks.
1760 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1761 fails.
1762 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1763 setuid() calls.
1764 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1765 calls.
1766 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1767 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1768 bad input.
1769 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1770 missing hex digits.
1771
1772
1773CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1774
1775 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1776 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1777 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1778 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1779 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1780 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1781 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1782 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1783 corruption on many printers)
1784 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1785 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1786 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1787 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1788 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1789 requests.
1790 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1791 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1792 was lost.
1793 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1794 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1795 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1796 to be used for a socket.
1797 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1798 a set were numeric or string types.
1799 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1800 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1801 reading *.conf files.
1802 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1803 same logic as GET requests.
1804 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1805 /index.html to requested directory name.
1806 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1807 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1808 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1809 instead of mode 0600.
1810 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1811 instead of 0600.
1812 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1813 system name in log filenames.
1814 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1815 and hex strings.
1816
1817
1818CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1819
1820 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1821 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1822 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1823
1824
1825CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1826
1827 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1828 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1829 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1830 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1831 filter programs properly.
1832 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1833 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1834 versions of GCC.
1835 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1836 cancelled in StartJob().
1837 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1838 written with restricted permissions.
1839 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1840 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1841 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1842 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1843 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1844 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1845 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1846 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1847 syslog file.
1848 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1849 and only specifies the document format if it is
1850 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1851 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1852 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1853 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1854 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1855 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1856 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1857 cancelled.
1858 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1859 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1860 sporatic web interface problems.
1861 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1862 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1863 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1864 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1865 whitespace.
1866 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1867 instead of an integer.
1868 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1869 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1870 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1871 and user-level access control.
1872 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1873 encryption.
1874 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1875 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1876 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1877 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1878 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1879 to the man page.
1880 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1881 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1882 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1883 queued for a printer.
1884 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1885 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1886 reporting.
1887
1888
1889CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1890
1891 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1892 code.
1893 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1894 check in backend/serial.c.
1895 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1896 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1897 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1898 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1899 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1900 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1901 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1902 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1903 anyways)
1904
1905
1906CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1907
1908 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1909 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1910 for run level 5.
1911 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1912 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1913 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1914 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1915 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1916 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1917 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1918
1919
1920CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1921
1922 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1923 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1924 access from the local system.
1925 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1926 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1927 - Documentation updates.
1928 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1929 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1930 RedHat or Mandrake.
1931 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1932 warnings.
1933 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1934 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1935 hex)
1936 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1937 crash the server.
1938 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1939 correct value length for name-with-language and
1940 text-with-language attributes.
1941 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1942 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1943 efficient IPP server performance.
1944 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1945 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1946 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1947 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1948 attack.
1949 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1950 data required when getting the list of printer or
1951 class information. This should improve performance
1952 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1953 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1954 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1955 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1956 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1957 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1958 override the lpoptions default printer.
1959 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1960 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1961 attributes.
1962 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1963 did not check for the correct value for collated
1964 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1965 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1966 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1967 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1968 scale mode 2.
1969 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1970 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1971 that started with a number.
1972 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1973 multiple times in name-with-language and
1974 text-with-language attributes.
1975 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1976 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1977 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1978 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1979 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1980 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1981 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1982 close the spool directory.
1983 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1984 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1985 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1986 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1987 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1988 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1989 larger than the source string; this protects
1990 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1991 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1992 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1993 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1994 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1995 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1996 remote printers.
1997 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1998 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1999 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2000 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2001 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2002 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2003 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2004 3-argument contains() function.
2005 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2006 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2007 database containing 0 printers.
2008 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2009 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2010 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2011 printer was always busy.
2012 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2013 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2014 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2015 jobs.
2016 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2017 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2018 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2019 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2020 57600 and 115200 baud.
2021 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2022 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2023 option in the device URI.
2024 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2025 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2026 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2027 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2028 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2029 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2030 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2031 job attributes to be changed.
2032 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2033 web interface.
2034 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2035 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2036 since they do not map)
2037 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2038 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2039 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2040 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2041 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2042 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2043 child signals while loading devices.
2044 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2045 and classes.
2046 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2047 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2048 driver dithering code.
2049 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2050 after the first active printer.
2051 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2052 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2053 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2054 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2055 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2056 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2057 accepted null values.
2058 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2059 of the backends.
2060 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2061 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2062 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2063 is set in the plot file.
2064 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2065 user name, causing it to always fail.
2066 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2067 under Windows.
2068 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2069 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2070 didn't handle control file job information in any
2071 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2072 a file.
2073 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2074 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2075 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2076 printing on some systems.
2077 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2078 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2079 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2080 it.
2081
2082
2083CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2084
2085 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2086 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2087 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2088 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2089 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2090 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2091 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2092 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2093 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2094 order, which prevented remote printing.
2095 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2096 IPP requests and language information when closing
2097 a client connection.
2098 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2099 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2100 compatibles)
2101 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2102 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2103 on many OS's.
2104 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2105 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2106 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2107 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2108 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2109 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2110 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2111 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2112 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2113 PPD files.
2114 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2115 when the destination printer supported it. This
2116 caused problems when printing text files to other
2117 CUPS servers.
2118 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2119 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2120 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2121 the dates.)
2122 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2123 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2124 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2125 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2126 be clipped.
2127
2128
2129CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2130
2131 - Makefile fixes.
2132 - RPM spec file changes.
2133 - Documentation updates.
2134 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2135 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2136 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2137 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2138 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2139 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2140 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2141 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2142 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2143 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2144 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2145 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2146 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2147 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2148 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2149 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2150 specified.
2151 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2152 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2153 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2154 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2155 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2156 cupsd.conf.
2157 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2158 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2159 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2160 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2161 filter mode 'l'.
2162 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2163 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2164 defaults for all print queues.
2165 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2166 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2167 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2168 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2169 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2170 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2171 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2172 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2173 printer was defined with the same name.
2174 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2175 remove options for a printer or instance.
2176 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2177 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2178 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2179 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2180 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2181 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2182 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2183 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2184 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2185 job-printer-uri attribute.
2186 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2187 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2188 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2189 remote printers.
2190 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2191 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2192 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2193 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2194 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2195 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2196 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2197 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2198 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2199 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2200 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2201 printer set using lpoptions.
2202 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2203 list the printer-specific options and their current
2204 settings.
2205 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2206 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2207 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2208 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2209 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2210 text printing.
2211 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2212 instances.
2213 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2214 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2215 limit.
2216 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2217 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2218 new client connections.
2219 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2220 required pagedevice parameters.
2221 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2222 under Linux.
2223 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2224 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2225 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2226 would stop processing.
2227 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2228 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2229 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2230 that was currently printing a job.
2231 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2232 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2233 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2234 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2235 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2236 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2237 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2238 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2239 option values separated by commas.
2240 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2241 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2242 and free bytes once a minute)
2243 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2244 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2245 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2246 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2247 printers.
2248 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2249 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2250 requests from that address to the server name.
2251 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2252 server.domain.com to localhost.
2253 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2254 the previous device and driver settings (except
2255 for serial ports.)
2256 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2257 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2258 after a job is completed when job file history is
2259 turned off.
2260 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2261 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2262 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2263 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2264 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2265 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2266 for "lpstat -v" output.
2267 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2268 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2269 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2270 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2271 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2272 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2273 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2274 by itself without quoting.
2275
2276
2277CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2278
2279 - Makefile/configure fixes
2280 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2281 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2282 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2283 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2284 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2285 number generator for certificates.
2286 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2287 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2288 the filter user, typically "lp".
2289 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2290 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2291 user.
2292 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2293 function.
2294 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2295 standard input.
2296 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2297 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2298 page header as needed.
2299 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2300 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2301 immediately when last-document was true.
2302 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2303 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2304 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2305 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2306 and many PS printers.
2307 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2308 filters.
2309 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2310 debugging problems.
2311 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2312 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2313 calling problem...)
2314 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2315 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2316 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2317 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2318 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2319 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2320 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2321 by default.
2322 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2323 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2324 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2325 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2326 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2327 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2328 CUPS software.
2329
2330
2331CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2332
2333 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2334 old PDF filter files.
2335 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2336 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2337 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2338 network devices.
2339 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2340 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2341 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2342 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2343 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2344 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2345 is defined otherwise.
2346 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2347 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2348 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2349 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2350 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2351 0-length PPD file was read.
2352 - The image filters were not handling images with
2353 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2354 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2355 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2356 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2357 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2358 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2359 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2360 documents if they don't have it.
2361 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2362 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2363 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2364 --prefix was specified.
2365 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2366 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2367 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2368 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2369 color mode until it can be fixed.
2370 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2371 correctly in all cases.
2372 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2373 time in banner files.
2374
2375
2376CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2377
2378 - Documentation updates.
2379 - Configuration script updates.
2380 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2381 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2382 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2383 ppd_file_t structure.
2384 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2385 before it was used.
2386 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2387 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2388 the localhost address.
2389 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2390 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2391 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2392 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2393 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2394 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2395 PDF support.
2396 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2397 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2398 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2399 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2400 pstoraster.
2401 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2402 the user.
2403 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2404 not running.
2405 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2406 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2407 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2408 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2409 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2410 setpagedevice operator.
2411 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2412 the default banner pages.
2413 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2414 "position" option.
2415 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2416 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2417 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2418 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2419 "printer@server") when possible.
2420 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2421 with no PageSize attributes.
2422 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2423 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2424 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2425 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2426 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2427 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2428 cupsd.
2429 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2430 locations.
2431 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2432 variables to specify installation directories as
2433 needed.
2434 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2435 when the scheduler is started.
2436 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2437 printer.
2438 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2439 printer are automatically deleted.
2440 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2441 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2442 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2443 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2444 request.
2445 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2446 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2447 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2448 is "no-hold".
2449 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2450 responses.
2451 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2452 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2453 printer.
2454 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2455 request fails.
2456 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2457 printer and class names.
2458 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2459 received in a POST request.
2460
2461
2462CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2463
2464 - Documentation updates.
2465 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2466 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2467 method.
2468 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2469 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2470 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2471 - Missing the job-restart template.
2472 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2473 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2474 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2475 not specified.
2476 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2477 from getting through.
2478 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2479 stderr.
2480 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2481 job name and display string, if supported.
2482 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2483 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2484 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2485 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2486 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2487 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2488 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2489 UTF-8...
2490 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2491 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2492 could cause cupsd to crash.
2493 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2494 crash.
2495 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2496 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2497 "HH:MM:SS".
2498 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2499 connection structure.
2500 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2501 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2502 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2503 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2504 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2505 is a potential security hole.
2506 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2507 new pstoraster.
2508 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2509 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2510 (/dev/usblp#)
2511 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2512 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2513 release.
2514
2515
2516CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2517
2518 - Documentation updates.
2519 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2520 now compile better under *BSD.)
2521 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2522 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2523 tray was selected.
2524 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2525 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2526 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2527 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2528 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2529 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2530 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2531 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2532 can handle.
2533 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2534 cause cupsd to crash.
2535 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2536 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2537 mime.types file.
2538 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2539 of file to be used as a banner.
2540 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2541 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2542 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2543 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2544 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2545 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2546 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2547 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2548 the IANA registrations.
2549 - New PostScript banner pages.
2550 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2551 filter.
2552 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2553 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2554 code.
2555 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2556 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2557 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2558 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2559 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2560 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2561 accurate width specification.
2562 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2563 files.
2564 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2565 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2566 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2567 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2568 that support it.
2569 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2570 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2571 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2572 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2573 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2574 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2575 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2576 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2577 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2578 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2579
2580
2581CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2582
2583 - Documentation updates.
2584 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2585 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2586 shell and Bash.
2587 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2588 code.
2589 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2590 manufacturer in the PPD.
2591 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2592 output attributes to be set.
2593 - Added banner page support.
2594 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2595 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2596 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2597 timezone offset.
2598 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2599 file is generated).
2600 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2601 printers when they became available.
2602 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2603 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2604 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2605 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2606 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2607 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2608 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2609 (override with -f)
2610 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2611 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2612 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2613 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2614 folks.
2615 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2616 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2617 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2618 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2619 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2620 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2621 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2622 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2623 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2624 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2625 languages (still only have templates for English)
2626 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2627 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2628 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2629 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2630 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2631 needed for some sites)
2632 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2633 templates.
2634 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2635 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2636 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2637 specific printer.
2638 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2639 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2640 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2641 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2642 authentication.
2643 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2644 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2645 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2646 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2647 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2648 filter.
2649 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2650 US-ASCII.
2651 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2652 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2653 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2654 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2655 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2656 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2657 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2658 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2659 basis without environment variables.
2660 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2661
2662
2663CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2664
2665 - Documentation updates.
2666 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2667 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2668 printer.
2669 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2670 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2671 distribution.
2672 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2673 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2674 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2675 to match the IPP spec.
2676 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2677 (previously they would be ignored)
2678 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2679 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2680 machines.
2681 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2682 and printer.
2683 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2684 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2685 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2686 BrowseRelay directives.
2687 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2688 still receives information on remote printers.
2689 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2690 networks)
2691 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2692 of PPD files.
2693 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2694 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2695 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2696 close their input files.
2697
2698

2716 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
2717 was being used.
2718 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
2719 printer.
2720 - The "lpstat -v" command would stop before the first remote
2721 printer.
