ee8b7dd3 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
5
843779ef 6 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 7 attribute name length or string with language value
8 was not larger than the read buffer.
9 - MacOS X fixes.
10 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
11 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
12 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
13 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 14 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
15 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
16 it from waiting for the job to complete when
17 communicating with some IPP implementations that
18 require it.

d2503e02 21CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
22
28a96fe2 23 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
24 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 25 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
26 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
27 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 28 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
29 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
30 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
31 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
32 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 33 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
34 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
35 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
36 *.convs files.
db911fcb 37 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
38 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
39 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
40 goes away.
7c587866 41 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
42 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 43 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 44 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 45 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 46 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
47 portion of the printer name, and since it would
48 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
49 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 50 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
51 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 52 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
53 connections to improve performance/response time.
54 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
55 from Andrea Suatoni.
56 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
57 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
58 tools support.
59 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
60 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
61 existed.
62 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
63 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 64 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
65 page-set option.
873a6f43 66 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
67 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 68 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
69 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
70 etc.)
bd73c81f 71 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
72 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
73 listing for a printer.
74 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
75 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
76 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 77 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
78 values.
dd5f3453 79 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
80 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 81 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
82 - Updated the Italian message translations.
83 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
84 files.
85 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
86 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 87 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
88 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
89 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 90 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
91 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 92 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
93 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 94 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
95 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 96 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
97 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
98 classification level, if set. This way the original
99 banner settings are preserved when classification
100 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 101 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
102 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 103 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
104 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
105 system default group was not used.
106 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
107 send multiple control files.
108 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
109 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
110 for the "https" scheme.
111 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
112 from the web interface for accounts other than
113 "root".
114 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
115 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
116 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
117 address properly.
118 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
119 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
120 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
121 inside a Location, which is not valid.
122 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
123 information under Linux.
124 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
125 option (if present) in PPD files.
126 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
127 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
128 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
129 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
130 the lppasswd command.
131 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
132 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
133 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
134 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
135 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
136 directory and configuration files are owned by and
137 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
138 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
139 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
140 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
141 restarting cupsd.
142 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
143 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
144 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
145 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
146 for commands on the standard input.
147 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
148 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
149 pointer platforms...
150
151
152CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
153
154 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
155 files.
156 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
157 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
158 destination type for the new destination.
159 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
160 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
161 printer ACLs.
162 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
163 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
164 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
165 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
166 printer-make-and-model attribute.
167
168
169CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
170
171 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
172 files.
173 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
174 files.
175 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
176 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
177 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
178 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
179 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
180 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
181 the device list (lpinfo -m).
182 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
183 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
184 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
185 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
186 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
187 increment. [this caused some versions of the
188 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
189 options exceeded 100...]
190 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
191 was set to "No".
192 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
193 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
194 infinite loop when accepting a request.
195 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
196 functions to make IPP request/response processing
197 faster.
198 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
199 support properly support the "-h" or default
200 server name.
201 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
202 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
203 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
204 support printer instances.
205 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
206 underline formatting.
207 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
208 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
209 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
210 (-1).
211 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
212 from printing to printers in that class.
213 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
214 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
215 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
216 slower systems since more information had to be
217 transferred from server to client.
218 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
219 things like the job title. This had the potential for
220 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
221 machine); bug report from SuSE.
222 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
223 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
224 processing.
225 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
226 to stderr instead of stdout...
227 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
228 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
229 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
230 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
231 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
232 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
233 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
234 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
235 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
236 the Spanish banner files.
237 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
238 language abbreviation to use for all supported
239 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
240 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
241 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
242 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
243 anonymous printing (no username specified).
244 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
245 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
246 information when printing via LPD.
247 - Added many warning and informational messages
248 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
249 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
250 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
251 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
252 provided.
253 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
254 cupsd.conf.
255 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
256 32k.
257 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
258 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
259 possible.
260 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
261 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
262 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
263 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
264 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
265 long values.
266 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
267 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
268 to CGIs.
269 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
270 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
271 time.
272 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
273 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
274 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
275 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
276 result in a blank page being output...
277 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
278 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
279 page comments when printing files directly...)
280 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
281 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
282 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
283 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
284 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
285 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
286 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
287 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
288 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
289 original destination.
290 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
291 requested-attributes attribute in the
292 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
293 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
294 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
295 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
296 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
297 prints.
298
299
300CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
301
302 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
303 makefiles to install files properly.
304
305
306CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
307
308 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
309 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
310 to override the classification of individual jobs.
311 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
312 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
313 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
314 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
315 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
316 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
317 server.
318 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
319 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
320 with some types of flow control.
321 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
322 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
323 server.
324 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
325 lines in the configuration files.
326 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
327 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
328 from the server.
329 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
330 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
331 to the file: pseudo-backend.
332 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
333 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
334 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
335 script. Previously the job's document format was
336 used, which was incorrect.
337 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
338 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
339 "raw" model from the command-line.
340 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
341 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
342 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
343 printers.
344 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
345 Chinese text support compiled into it.
346 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
347 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
348 which caused some confusion... :)
349 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
350 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
351
352
353CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
354
355 - The configure script did not substitute the
356 correct user and group names.
357 - The configure script did not use the full path
358 to the install-sh script when it was used.
359 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
360 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
361 duplexing.
362 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
363 distribution.
364 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
365 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
366 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
367 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
368 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
369 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
370 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
371 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
372 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
373 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
374 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
375 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
376
377
378CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
379
380 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
381 approach for the various tests.
382 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
383 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
384 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
385 options to specify the default user and group for
386 CUPS.
387 - Added AIX shared library support.
388 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
389 parallel ports.
390 - Now use install program or script to install
391 directories, files, and symlinks.
392 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
393 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
394 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
395 print.
396 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
397 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
398 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
399 64-bit boundary.
400 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
401 skip the Digest keyword.
402 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
403 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
404 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
405 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
406 authentication from passwd.md5.
407 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
408 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
409 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
410 PPD files should start much faster now.
411 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
412 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
413 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
414 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
415 times.
416 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
417 code if an error occurred.
418 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
419 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
420 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
421 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
422 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
423 eliminates the buffer start bug.
424 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
425 the receiving device didn't support the copies
426 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
427 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
428 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
429 copies would come out instead of N.
430 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
431 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
432 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
433 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
434 output an even number of pages.
435 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
436 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
437 from being cancelled early.
438 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
439 instances, and options that are not defined by the
440 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
441 options from being used in individual user accounts.
442 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
443 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
444 "ESC i" graphics command.
445 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
446 printers to a local class.
447 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
448 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
449 - The scheduler did not load or save the
450 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
451 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
452 printers that were part of a class.
453 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
454 printer more than once.
455 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
456 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
457 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
458 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
459 account.
460 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
461 against a location of "/printers/name".
462 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
463 upgrades properly.
464 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
465 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
466 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
467 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
468 when using Digest authentication.
469 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
470 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
471 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
472 file.
473 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
474 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
475 server.
476 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
477 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
478 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
479 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
480 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
481 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
482 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
483 not the empty string.
484 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
485 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
486 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
487 unsupported attributes which should normally be
488 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
489 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
490 supported file types into the
491 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
492 clients to not send the local file type (such as
493 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
494 corresponding bad output in some cases.
495 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
496 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
497 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
498 or behave irratically.
499 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
500 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
501 specified.
502 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
503 completed or reported as "pending-held".
504 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
505 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
506 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
507 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
508 retrieve and update the server configuration files
509 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
510 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
511 location or description of the printer.
512 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
513 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
514 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
515 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
516 multiple groups.
517 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
518 Apache.
519 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
520 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
521 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
522 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
523 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
524 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
525 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
526 the page-ranges option from working properly.
527 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
528 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
529 Ghostscript code.
530 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
531 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
532 size instead of percent of page size.)
533 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
534 instead of root.
535 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
536 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
537 size options.
538 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
539 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
540 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
541 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
542 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
543 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
544 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
545 character.
546
547
548CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
549
550 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
551 package for pstoraster.
552 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
553 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
554 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
555 Guiliani for finding this bug!
556 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
557 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
558 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
559 - The IPP backend did not handle the
560 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
561 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
562 to stop on client machines when the server had job
563 history disabled.
564 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
565 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
566 connections initially.
567 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
568 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
569 throughout.
570 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
571 Richard Begg.)
572 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
573 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
574 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
575 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
576 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
577 in the first page instead of the document setup section
578 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
579 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
580 #54489...
581 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
582 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
583 (only affects page-label and Classification
584 options.)
585 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
586 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
587
588
589CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
590
591 - Configuration script changes, including new
592 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
593 documentation and web content according to your
594 favorite version of the FHS.
595 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
596 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
597 test CUPS prior to installation.
598 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
599 insensitive to match Apache.
600 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
601 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
602 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
603 directives.
604 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
605 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
606 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
607 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
608 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
609 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
610 might not work with some LPD servers...)
611 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
612 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
613 formats are supported at present.)
614 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
615 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
616 all browsing off.
617 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
618 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
619 document.
620 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
621 to requests without the attributes-charset or
622 attributes-natural-language attributes.
623 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
624 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
625 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
626 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
627 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
628 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
629 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
630 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
631 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
632 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
633 server.
634 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
635 PJL commands from PPD files.
636 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
637 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
638 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
639 cancel all jobs on all printers.
640 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
641 the next/current job in the queue.
642 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
643 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
644 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
645 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
646 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
647 for Sun Raster images.
648 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
649 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
650 function.
651 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
652 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
653 command when printing to USB devices.
654 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
655 the cupsd.conf file.
656 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
657 which could block if insufficient entropy information
658 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
659 /dev/urandom.
660 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
661 httpGetSubField().
662 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
663 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
664 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
665 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
666 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
667 CGI was currently running.
668 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
669 option=true or option=false.
670 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
671 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
672 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
673 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
674 could cause it to crash.
675 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
676 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
677 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
678 attribute when altering a job.
679 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
680 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
681 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
682 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
683 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
684 addresses.
685 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
686 the current classification on each page.
687 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
688 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
689 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
690 for CGI programs when a client connects using
691 encryption.
692 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
693 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
694 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
695 support instances.
696 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
697 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
698 and should never be used in a production environment.
699 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
700 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
701 interface.
702 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
703 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
704 prevent caching of the results.
705 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
706 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
707 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
708 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
709 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
710 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
711 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
712 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
713 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
714 submitted by a user.
715 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
716 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
717 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
718 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
719 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
720 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
721 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
722 embedded spaces.
723 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
724 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
725 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
726 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
727 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
728 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
729 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
730 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
731 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
732 by the GIMP.
733 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
734 bypassed the authentication checks.
735 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
736 to the client and end the current request. This caused
737 a race condition between the client and server for the
738 upgrade to TLS.
739 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
740 the pstops filter.
741 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
742 the custom page size in the raster header.
743 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
744 size to the size of the printed image.
745 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
746 which are required by some printers.
747 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
748 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
749 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
750 DSC).
751 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
752 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
753 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
754 driver.
755 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
756 font list was not terminated by a newline.
757 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
758 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
759 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
760 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
761 workaround using a static variable has been added to
762 address this problem.
763 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
764 that could cause printers to disappear or the
765 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
766 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
767 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
768 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
769 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
770 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
771 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
772 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
773 to manage print jobs.
774 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
775 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
776 of 0 length.
777 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
778 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
779 Guiliani for finding this bug!
780
781
782CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
783
784 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
785 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
786 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
787 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
788 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
789 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
790 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
791 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
792 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
793 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
794 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
795 /dev/ulptN.
796 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
797 classes it was a member of.
798 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
799 implicit status of a class.
800 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
801 from implicit classes.
802 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
803 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
804 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
805 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
806 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
807 of the scheduler.
808 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
809 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
810 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
811 the /#copies variable anymore.
812 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
813 option.
814 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
815 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
816 for a bad-request error)
817 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
818 unimplemented, not invalid.
819 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
820 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
821 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
822 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
823 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
824 (pstoraster).
825 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
826 which are not used.
827 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
828 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
829 cgi_initialize_string().
830 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
831 ippSetCGIVars()
832 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
833 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
834 leaks.
835 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
836 fails.
837 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
838 setuid() calls.
839 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
840 calls.
841 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
842 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
843 bad input.
844 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
845 missing hex digits.
846
847
848CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
849
850 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
851 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
852 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
853 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
854 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
855 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
856 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
857 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
858 corruption on many printers)
859 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
860 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
861 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
862 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
863 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
864 requests.
865 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
866 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
867 was lost.
868 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
869 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
870 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
871 to be used for a socket.
872 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
873 a set were numeric or string types.
874 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
875 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
876 reading *.conf files.
877 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
878 same logic as GET requests.
879 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
880 /index.html to requested directory name.
881 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
882 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
883 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
884 instead of mode 0600.
885 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
886 instead of 0600.
887 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
888 system name in log filenames.
889 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
890 and hex strings.
891
892
893CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
894
895 - Added configure check for getting the correct
896 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
897 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
898
899
900CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
901
902 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
903 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
904 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
905 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
906 filter programs properly.
907 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
908 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
909 versions of GCC.
910 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
911 cancelled in StartJob().
912 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
913 written with restricted permissions.
914 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
915 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
916 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
917 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
918 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
919 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
920 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
921 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
922 syslog file.
923 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
924 and only specifies the document format if it is
925 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
926 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
927 capabilities of CUPS servers.
928 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
929 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
930 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
931 signals and eject the current page when a job is
932 cancelled.
933 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
934 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
935 sporatic web interface problems.
936 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
937 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
938 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
939 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
940 whitespace.
941 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
942 instead of an integer.
943 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
944 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
945 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
946 and user-level access control.
947 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
948 encryption.
949 - The client code did not consume the response to the
950 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
951 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
952 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
953 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
954 to the man page.
955 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
956 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
957 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
958 queued for a printer.
959 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
960 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
961 reporting.
962
963
964CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
965
966 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
967 code.
968 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
969 check in backend/serial.c.
970 - Updated configure script handling of data,
971 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
972 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
973 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
974 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
975 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
976 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
977 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
978 anyways)
979
980
981CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
982
983 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
984 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
985 for run level 5.
986 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
987 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
988 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
989 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
990 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
991 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
992 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
993
994
995CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
996
997 - Security updates - new default configuration does
998 not broadcast printer information and only allows
999 access from the local system.
1000 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1001 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1002 - Documentation updates.
1003 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1004 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1005 RedHat or Mandrake.
1006 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1007 warnings.
1008 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1009 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1010 hex)
1011 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1012 crash the server.
1013 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1014 correct value length for name-with-language and
1015 text-with-language attributes.
1016 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1017 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1018 efficient IPP server performance.
1019 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1020 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1021 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1022 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1023 attack.
1024 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1025 data required when getting the list of printer or
1026 class information. This should improve performance
1027 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1028 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1029 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1030 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1031 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1032 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1033 override the lpoptions default printer.
1034 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1035 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1036 attributes.
1037 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1038 did not check for the correct value for collated
1039 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1040 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1041 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1042 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1043 scale mode 2.
1044 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1045 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1046 that started with a number.
1047 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1048 multiple times in name-with-language and
1049 text-with-language attributes.
1050 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1051 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1052 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1053 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1054 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1055 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1056 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1057 close the spool directory.
1058 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1059 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1060 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1061 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1062 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1063 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1064 larger than the source string; this protects
1065 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1066 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1067 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1068 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1069 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1070 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1071 remote printers.
1072 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1073 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1074 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1075 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1076 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1077 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1078 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1079 3-argument contains() function.
1080 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1081 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1082 database containing 0 printers.
1083 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1084 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1085 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1086 printer was always busy.
1087 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1088 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1089 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1090 jobs.
1091 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1092 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1093 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1094 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1095 57600 and 115200 baud.
1096 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1097 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1098 option in the device URI.
1099 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1100 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1101 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1102 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1103 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1104 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1105 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1106 job attributes to be changed.
1107 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1108 web interface.
1109 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1110 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1111 since they do not map)
1112 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1113 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1114 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1115 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1116 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1117 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1118 child signals while loading devices.
1119 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1120 and classes.
1121 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1122 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1123 driver dithering code.
1124 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1125 after the first active printer.
1126 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1127 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1128 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1129 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1130 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1131 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1132 accepted null values.
1133 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1134 of the backends.
1135 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1136 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1137 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1138 is set in the plot file.
1139 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1140 user name, causing it to always fail.
1141 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1142 under Windows.
1143 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1144 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1145 didn't handle control file job information in any
1146 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1147 a file.
1148 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1149 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1150 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1151 printing on some systems.
1152 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1153 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1154 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1155 it.
1156
1157
1158CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1159
1160 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1161 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1162 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1163 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1164 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1165 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1166 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1167 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1168 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1169 order, which prevented remote printing.
1170 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1171 IPP requests and language information when closing
1172 a client connection.
1173 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1174 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1175 compatibles)
1176 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1177 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1178 on many OS's.
1179 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1180 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1181 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1182 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1183 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1184 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1185 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1186 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1187 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1188 PPD files.
1189 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1190 when the destination printer supported it. This
1191 caused problems when printing text files to other
1192 CUPS servers.
1193 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1194 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1195 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1196 the dates.)
1197 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1198 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1199 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1200 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1201 be clipped.
1202
1203
1204CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1205
1206 - Makefile fixes.
1207 - RPM spec file changes.
1208 - Documentation updates.
1209 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1210 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1211 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1212 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1213 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1214 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1215 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1216 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1217 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1218 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1219 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1220 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1221 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1222 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1223 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1224 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1225 specified.
1226 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1227 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1228 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1229 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1230 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1231 cupsd.conf.
1232 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1233 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1234 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1235 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1236 filter mode 'l'.
1237 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1238 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1239 defaults for all print queues.
1240 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1241 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1242 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1243 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1244 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1245 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1246 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1247 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1248 printer was defined with the same name.
1249 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1250 remove options for a printer or instance.
1251 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1252 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1253 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1254 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1255 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1256 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1257 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1258 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1259 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1260 job-printer-uri attribute.
1261 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1262 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1263 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1264 remote printers.
1265 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1266 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1267 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1268 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1269 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1270 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1271 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1272 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1273 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1274 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1275 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1276 printer set using lpoptions.
1277 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1278 list the printer-specific options and their current
1279 settings.
1280 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1281 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1282 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1283 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1284 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1285 text printing.
1286 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1287 instances.
1288 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1289 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1290 limit.
1291 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1292 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1293 new client connections.
1294 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1295 required pagedevice parameters.
1296 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1297 under Linux.
1298 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1299 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1300 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1301 would stop processing.
1302 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1303 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1304 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1305 that was currently printing a job.
1306 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1307 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1308 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1309 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1310 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1311 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1312 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1313 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1314 option values separated by commas.
1315 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1316 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1317 and free bytes once a minute)
1318 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1319 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1320 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1321 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1322 printers.
1323 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1324 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1325 requests from that address to the server name.
1326 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1327 server.domain.com to localhost.
1328 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1329 the previous device and driver settings (except
1330 for serial ports.)
1331 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1332 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1333 after a job is completed when job file history is
1334 turned off.
1335 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1336 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1337 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1338 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1339 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1340 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1341 for "lpstat -v" output.
1342 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1343 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1344 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1345 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1346 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1347 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1348 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1349 by itself without quoting.
1350
1351
1352CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1353
1354 - Makefile/configure fixes
1355 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1356 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1357 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1358 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1359 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1360 number generator for certificates.
1361 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1362 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1363 the filter user, typically "lp".
1364 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1365 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1366 user.
1367 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1368 function.
1369 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1370 standard input.
1371 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1372 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1373 page header as needed.
1374 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1375 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1376 immediately when last-document was true.
1377 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1378 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1379 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1380 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1381 and many PS printers.
1382 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1383 filters.
1384 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1385 debugging problems.
1386 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1387 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1388 calling problem...)
1389 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1390 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1391 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1392 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1393 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1394 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1395 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1396 by default.
1397 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1398 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1399 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1400 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1401 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1402 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1403 CUPS software.
1404
1405
1406CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1407
1408 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1409 old PDF filter files.
1410 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1411 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1412 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1413 network devices.
1414 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1415 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1416 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1417 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1418 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1419 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1420 is defined otherwise.
1421 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1422 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1423 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1424 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1425 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1426 0-length PPD file was read.
1427 - The image filters were not handling images with
1428 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1429 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1430 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1431 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1432 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1433 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1434 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1435 documents if they don't have it.
1436 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1437 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1438 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1439 --prefix was specified.
1440 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1441 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1442 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1443 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1444 color mode until it can be fixed.
1445 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1446 correctly in all cases.
1447 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1448 time in banner files.
1449
1450
1451CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1452
1453 - Documentation updates.
1454 - Configuration script updates.
1455 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1456 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1457 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1458 ppd_file_t structure.
1459 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1460 before it was used.
1461 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1462 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1463 the localhost address.
1464 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1465 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1466 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1467 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1468 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1469 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1470 PDF support.
1471 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1472 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1473 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1474 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1475 pstoraster.
1476 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1477 the user.
1478 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1479 not running.
1480 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1481 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1482 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1483 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1484 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1485 setpagedevice operator.
1486 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1487 the default banner pages.
1488 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1489 "position" option.
1490 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1491 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1492 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1493 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1494 "printer@server") when possible.
1495 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1496 with no PageSize attributes.
1497 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1498 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1499 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1500 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1501 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1502 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1503 cupsd.
1504 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1505 locations.
1506 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1507 variables to specify installation directories as
1508 needed.
1509 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1510 when the scheduler is started.
1511 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1512 printer.
1513 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1514 printer are automatically deleted.
1515 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1516 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1517 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1518 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1519 request.
1520 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1521 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1522 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1523 is "no-hold".
1524 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1525 responses.
1526 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1527 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1528 printer.
1529 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1530 request fails.
1531 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1532 printer and class names.
1533 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1534 received in a POST request.
1535
1536
1537CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1538
1539 - Documentation updates.
1540 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1541 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1542 method.
1543 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1544 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1545 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1546 - Missing the job-restart template.
1547 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1548 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1549 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1550 not specified.
1551 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1552 from getting through.
1553 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1554 stderr.
1555 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1556 job name and display string, if supported.
1557 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1558 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1559 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1560 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1561 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1562 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1563 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1564 UTF-8...
1565 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1566 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1567 could cause cupsd to crash.
1568 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1569 crash.
1570 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1571 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1572 "HH:MM:SS".
1573 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1574 connection structure.
1575 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1576 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1577 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1578 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1579 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1580 is a potential security hole.
1581 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1582 new pstoraster.
1583 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1584 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1585 (/dev/usblp#)
1586 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1587 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1588 release.
1589
1590
1591CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1592
1593 - Documentation updates.
1594 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1595 now compile better under *BSD.)
1596 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1597 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1598 tray was selected.
1599 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1600 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1601 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1602 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1603 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1604 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1605 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1606 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1607 can handle.
1608 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1609 cause cupsd to crash.
1610 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1611 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1612 mime.types file.
1613 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1614 of file to be used as a banner.
1615 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1616 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1617 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1618 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1619 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1620 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1621 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1622 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1623 the IANA registrations.
1624 - New PostScript banner pages.
1625 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1626 filter.
1627 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1628 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1629 code.
1630 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1631 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1632 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1633 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1634 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1635 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1636 accurate width specification.
1637 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1638 files.
1639 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1640 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1641 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1642 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1643 that support it.
1644 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1645 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1646 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1647 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1648 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1649 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1650 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1651 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1652 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1653 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1654
1655
1656CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1657
1658 - Documentation updates.
1659 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1660 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1661 shell and Bash.
1662 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1663 code.
1664 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1665 manufacturer in the PPD.
1666 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1667 output attributes to be set.
1668 - Added banner page support.
1669 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1670 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1671 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1672 timezone offset.
1673 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1674 file is generated).
1675 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1676 printers when they became available.
1677 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1678 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1679 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1680 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1681 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1682 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1683 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1684 (override with -f)
1685 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1686 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1687 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1688 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1689 folks.
1690 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1691 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1692 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1693 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1694 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1695 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1696 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1697 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1698 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1699 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1700 languages (still only have templates for English)
1701 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1702 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1703 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1704 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1705 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1706 needed for some sites)
1707 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1708 templates.
1709 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1710 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1711 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1712 specific printer.
1713 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1714 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1715 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1716 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1717 authentication.
1718 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1719 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1720 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1721 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1722 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1723 filter.
1724 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1725 US-ASCII.
1726 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1727 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1728 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1729 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1730 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1731 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1732 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1733 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1734 basis without environment variables.
1735 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1736
1737
1738CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1739
1740 - Documentation updates.
1741 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1742 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1743 printer.
1744 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1745 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1746 distribution.
1747 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1748 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1749 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1750 to match the IPP spec.
1751 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1752 (previously they would be ignored)
1753 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1754 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1755 machines.
1756 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1757 and printer.
1758 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1759 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1760 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1761 BrowseRelay directives.
1762 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1763 still receives information on remote printers.
1764 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1765 networks)
1766 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1767 of PPD files.
1768 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1769 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1770 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1771 close their input files.
1772
1773

1775
1776 - NEW web-based administration interface.
1777 - NEW EPSON printer drivers.
1778 - NEW user-defined printers and options.
1779 - NEW persistent jobs and job history

1781 - NEW template-based web interfaces.
1782 - NEW CUPS-get-devices and CUPS-get-ppds operations.
1783 - NEW support for create-job and send-file operations.
1784 - NEW certificate-based authentication for local

1792 was being used.
1793 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
