38 #484)
2e55212e 39 - The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,

72 (STR #565)
73 - cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
74 - Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
9b6deb15 75 - The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname

91 translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
92 size (STR #454)
93 - Updated the client code in the scheduler to close the
94 client connection on errors rather than shutting down

126 copies (STR #389)
127 - Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
128 #430)

132 - The French web interface localization did not use
133 absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
4f6178db 134 - The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and

144 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
145 character, which is not required by the Base64
146 encoding specification (STR #407)
52a9a175 147 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
148 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
149 IRIX (STR #422)
150 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
151 to be consistent with the way other signals are
152 handled (STR #423)

0ab349a5 167
a4bcc023 168 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
169 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
d68320d4 170 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny

174 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
175 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
176 defined PageSize (STR #365)

294c916e 213
214
0669cbc7 215CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
216
217 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
218 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
219 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
220 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
221 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
222 names, which caused some problems with the generated
223 URLs (STR #320)
224 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
225 option (STR #331)
226
227

240 #292)
241
242
4731c02f 243CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 244
6d8c10c5 245 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
246 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
247 printers that returned status info but were not ready
248 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 249 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
250 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
251 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
252 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 253 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
254 #289)
4731c02f 255 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 256 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
257 10.3 (STR #270)

aa7b8dba 259 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
260 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
261 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
262 very difficult (STR #277)
263 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
264 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
265 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 266 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
267 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
268 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)

270 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
271 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
272 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
273 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
274 language localization for a request; this caused extra
275 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
276 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
277 one language specified (STR #267)
278
279
3fc87a99 280CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
281
a782f61f 282 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
283 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
284 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 285 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
286 is 64 bits (STR #262)
0cd4970e 287 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
288 Hat (STR #253)
289 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
290 the standard constants when reporting printer status
291 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 292 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
293 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
294 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 295 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
296 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
297 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
298 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
299 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
300 URI (STR #247)
301 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
302 (STR #249)
303 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
304 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 305 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
306 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 307 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
308 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 309 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
310 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 311 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
312 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
313 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 314 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
315 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 316 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
317 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file

320 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 321 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
322 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
323 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 324 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
325 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
326 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
327 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 328 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
329 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
330 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
331 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
332 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 333 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
334 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 335 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
336 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
337 (STR #209)
0c676a75 338 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
339 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 340 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
341 the user already had specified the proper orientation
342 (STR #207)
e5734f04 343 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 344 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
345 #193)
0372885f 346 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
347 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
348 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 349 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
350 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
351 programs rather than the port that the browser
352 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 353 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
354 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
355 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
356 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
357 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
358 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
359 files define the job-priority and
360 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 361 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
362 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 363 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
364 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
365 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
366 caused problems with some implementations of the
367 standard C library. (STR #159)
368 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
369 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 370 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
371 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 372 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
373 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
374 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
375 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 376 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
377 strings if the description string is not available
378 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 379 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
380 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
381 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
382 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
383 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 384 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
385 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
386 #147)
20bde6fb 387 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
388 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
389 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 390 - Printers with special characters in their names were
391 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 392 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
393 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
394 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
395 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
396 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 397 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
398 files did not get installed (STR #148)
399 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
400 without shared libraries (STR #149)
401 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
402 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 403 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
404 capability bit (STR #144)
405 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
406 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 407 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
408 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
409 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 410 #139)
411 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
412 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 413 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
414 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 415 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
416 command after the PJL language escape to work around
417 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
418 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
419 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 420 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 421 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 422
423
8dc4af74 424CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
425
a17e6548 426 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
427 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
428 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 429 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
430 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
431 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
432 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 433 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
434 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 435 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
436 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
437 #117)
438 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 439 - The configure script didn't specify the static
440 libraries properly when configuring with the
441 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 442 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
443 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
444 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 445 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
446 message (STR #94)

7f797921 451
1ed20df6 452 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
453 classes would get double banner pages for each
454 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 455 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
456 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 457 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
458 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
459 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 460 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
461 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
462 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
463 #70)
92498b68 464 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
465 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 466 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 467 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
468 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
469 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 470 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
471 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
472 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
473 annoying error message (STR #45)
474
475
2e6bce36 476CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 477
fb766c9e 478 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
479 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
480 #59)
d8b9e5fa 481 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
482 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 483 - The German web interface templates did not use the
484 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 485 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
486 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 487 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
488 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
489 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
490
491
e309e07a 492CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
493
b07e0cc2 494 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
495 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
496 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
497 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
498 user - STR #48)
b01791df 499 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
500 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 501 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
502 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 503 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
504 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
505 was handled (STR #47)
506 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
507 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
508 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 509 - The scheduler did not put the
510 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
511 attributes group.
512 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
513 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 514 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 515 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
516 and #39)
254aa207 517 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
518 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
519 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
520 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
521 requirements (STR #33)
522 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
523 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
524 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
525 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 526 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
527 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
528 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
529 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 530 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
531 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
532 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 533 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 534 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 535 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
536 Jacke)
537 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
538 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 539
540
b696f4e3 541CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
542
ac098b06 543 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
544 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
545 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
546 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
547 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 548 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
549 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 550 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 551 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
552 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
553 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 554 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
555 not work.
c8a55d2c 556 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
557 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
558 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
559 was not added to the collection value.
560 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
561 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 562 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
563 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
564 directives.
565 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
566 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
567 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 568 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
569 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 570 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
571 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
572 #13)
b696f4e3 573 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
574 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
575 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 576 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 577 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
578 message files such as those used for the job history
579 in /var/spool/cups.
580
581
fc7f6f69 582CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 583
265fb4a4 584 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
585 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 586 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
587 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
588 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
589 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
590 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
591 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 592 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 593 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
594 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 595 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
596 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
597 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 598 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
599 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 600 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
601 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
602 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
603 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 604 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
605 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
606 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
607 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
608 your locale.
5073e3f8 609 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
610 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
611 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 612 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
613 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 614 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
615 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
616 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
617 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
618 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 619 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
620 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 621 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
622 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
623 respectively) and has some additional changes to
624 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
625 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 626 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 627 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
628 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 629 - Added support for STATE: messages
630 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
631 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 632 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
633 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
634 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
635 root.
4d4fb342 636 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
637 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 638 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 639 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
640 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
641 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
642 information.
d40085f1 643 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
644 field.
dd9e85de 645 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
646 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
647 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
648 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
649 attribute to control whether job history data is
650 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
651 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
652 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 653 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
654 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 655 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
656 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
657 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 658 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
659 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
660 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
661 Kubla]
3f2fa036 662 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
663 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
664 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
665 sent. It now only references attributes that change
666 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
667 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
668 2k.
669 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
670 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
671 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 672 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
673 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 674 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
675 printer was available.
676 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
677 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
678 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 679 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
680 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 681 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
682 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
683 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 684 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
685 the image on the page when printing in landscape
686 orientation.
b3291c5a 687 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
688 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
689 and ManualFeed commands.
690 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
691 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 692 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
693 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
694 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
695 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
696 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 697 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
698 list of available devices, when it should have been
699 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 700 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
701 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 702 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
703 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 704 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
705 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
706 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
707 up...
2e32fcdb 708 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
709 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
710 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
711 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 712 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
713 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
714 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
715 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 716 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
717 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 718 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
719 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
720 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 721 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
722 variable under MacOS X.
723 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
724 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 725 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
726 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 727 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
728 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
729 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 730 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
731 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 732 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
733 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
734 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 735 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 736 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
737 sequence.
49d1718a 738 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
739 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 740 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 741 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
742 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 743 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
744 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 745 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
746 Apple.
8bd0441f 747 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
748 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 749 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
750 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
751 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
752 option.
753 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
754 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 755 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
756 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
757 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 758 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
759 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
760 via IPP.
edd85093 761 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
762 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 763 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
764 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 765 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
766 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
767 means that printers that don't report their serial
768 numbers in the device ID string will not be
769 individually selectable.
d0598693 770 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
771 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 772 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 773 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
774 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
775 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
776 the same.
777 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
778 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
779 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 780 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
781 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 782 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
783 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 784 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
785 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
786 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 787 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
788 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 789 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
790 an attribute definition.
de218675 791 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
792 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
793 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
794 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 795 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
796 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
797 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
798 situations. The warning message is now written no more
799 than once per minute.
67fa1315 800 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
801 PS RIPs.
320115a7 802 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
803 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
804 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 805 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
806 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
807 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
808 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
809 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
810 program or man page files.
811
812
759f5023 813CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
814
e38a7cef 815 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
816 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
817 write a job control file.
f63a430f 818 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
819 directive to control whether new printers can be added
820 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
821 default is to not allow printers with these device
822 URIs.
767ae392 823 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
824 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
825 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 826 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
827 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
828 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
829 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 830 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
831 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 832 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
833 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
834 attacks.
901b295d 835 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
836 interface.
837 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
838 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
839 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 840 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
841 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
842 the scheduler did not close the connections
843 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 844 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
845 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 846 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
847 back to its original at the end of a job; this
848 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
849 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 850 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
851 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 852 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
853 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
854 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
855 PPD files.
dcc2e394 856 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
857 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
858 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 859 - The web interface did not always report the correct
860 error message.
759f5023 861 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
862 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
863 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
864 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
865 process from returning.
866
867
3cc7bca4 868CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
869
5c826e17 870 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
871 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 872 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 873 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
874 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 875 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
876 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
877 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
878 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
879 ticket data.
880 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
881 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
882 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 883 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
884 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
885 group membership still requires the account name to be
886 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 887 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
888 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
889 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
890 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 891 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
892 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 893 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
894 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
895 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
896 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
897 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 898 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
899 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 900 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
901 caused by servers sending the status line and
902 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 903 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
904 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
905 empty.
78143282 906 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
907 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 908 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
909 Windows.
f33d1239 910 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
911 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 912 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
913 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
914 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 915 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
916 (interrupted system call) errors.
917 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
918 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
919 caused by the child signal handler.
920 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
921 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
922 error.
e1e31a38 923 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
924 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 925 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
926 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 927 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
928 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
929 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 930 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
931 properly localized time string.
549d1888 932 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
933 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
934 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 935 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
936 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 937 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
938 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
939 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
940 scheduler.
941 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
942 scheduler so that the printer object information is
943 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
944 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
945 queues.
854d3bb2 946 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
947 filename.
137d4d44 948 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
949 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
950 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
951 automatic form feed.
952 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 953 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
954 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 955 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
956 MacOS X.
957 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
958 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
959 has been removed.
960
961
06415a96 962CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
963
727e6d14 964 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
965 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
966 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
967 printer.
968 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
969 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 970 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
971 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
972 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 973 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
974 you can display completed jobs as well as
975 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 976 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
977 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
978 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 979 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
980 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
981 occurs.
db628f45 982 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
983 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 984 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
985 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
986 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
987 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
988 the page number.
da312e94 989 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
990 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 991 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 992 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
993 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
994 banner pages.
25037b2b 995 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
996 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
997 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 998 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 999 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1000 reliably.
a9219725 1001 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1002 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1003 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1004 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 1005 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1006 connection when sending an error that requires the
1007 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1008 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1009 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 1010 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1011 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1012 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1013 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 1014 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1015 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1016 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1017 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 1018 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1019 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 1020 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1021 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 1022 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1023 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 1024 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1025 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 1026 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1027 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1028 defines a circular filter rule.
1029 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1030 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 1031 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1032 files.
5ca43bfd 1033 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1034 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 1035 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1036 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1037 compatibility).
879062a9 1038 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 1039 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1040 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1041 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 1042 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1043 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 1044 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1045 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1046 shutdown.
098f80c5 1047 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1048 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1049 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 1050 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1051 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1052 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1053 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 1054 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1055 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1056 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 1057 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1058 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 1059 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1060 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1061 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1062 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 1063 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1064 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1065 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 1066 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1067 connect to the remote server name in a
1068 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1069 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1070 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1071 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 1072 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1073 the program would try to print the option letter that
1074 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1075 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 1076 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1077 attributes from printer options in
1078 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 1079 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1080 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 1081 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 1082 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1083 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 1084 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1085 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1086 characters.
1087 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1088 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1089 the language mode.
1090 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1091 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1092 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1093 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1094 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 1095 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 1096 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1097 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 1098 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1099 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 1100 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1101 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1102 driver.
997cf8b0 1103 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1104 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1105 that printer is available.
1106 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1107 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1108 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1109 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1110 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1111 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 1112 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1113 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1114 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1115 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 1116 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1117 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1118 to accept connections.
1119 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1120 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1121 and current directory.
1122 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1123 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1124 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1125 for existing jobs.
1126 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1127 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1128 actually provided.
1129 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 1130 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1131 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 1132 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1133 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 1134 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1135 case-insensitive.
1136 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1137 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 1138 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1139 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1140 Solaris.
b91c8a76 1141 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1142 printing banner pages.
4f759211 1143 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 1144 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1145 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 1146 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1147 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 1148 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1149 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1150 file.
8ce19460 1151 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1152 description from member printers.
fabb006b 1153 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1154 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 1155 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 1156 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1157 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 1158 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1159 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 1160 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1161 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1162 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 1163 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1164 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1165 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1166 up...
19e7b382 1167 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1168 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1169 authentication didn't work for administration
1170 operations.
103abc03 1171 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1172 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 1173 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1174 interface to "localhost".
1175 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1176 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1177 only return textual data.
1178
1179
7680b71d 1180CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1181
1182 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1183 string function header, which is required on systems
1184 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1185 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1186 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1187 have to.
1188
1189
74cfdb8b 1190CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1191
dab1a4d8 1192 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1193 license exception.
611e4623 1194 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
1195 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1196 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1197 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1198 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1199 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1200 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1201 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1202 options.
1203 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1204 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1205 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1206 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1207 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1208 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1209 queues) on the server.
1210 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1211 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1212 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1213 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1214 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1215 set definitions.
a319615f 1216 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1217 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1218 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1219 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1220 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1221 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1222 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1223 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1224 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1225 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1226 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1227 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1228 comes from...
6df23e27 1229 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1230 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1231 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1232 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1233 using the default printer.
1234 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1235 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1236 to allow for longer printer names.
1237 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1238 history data.
1239 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1240 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1241 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1242 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1243 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1244 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1245 caused problems on some installations that would
1246 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1247 level 3.
1248 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1249 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1250 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1251 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1252 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1253 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1254 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1255 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1256 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1257 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1258 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1259 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1260 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1261 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1262 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1263 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1264 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1265 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1266 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1267 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1268 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1269 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1270 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1271 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1272 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1273 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1274 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1275 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1276 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1277 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1278 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1279 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1280 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1281 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1282 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1283 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1284 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1285 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1286 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1287 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1288 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1289 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1290 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1291 classes.
7200e26c 1292 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1293 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1294 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1295 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1296 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1297 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1298 control and browsing based on the current interface
1299 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1300 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1301 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1302 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1303 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1304 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1305 group.
f4647930 1306 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1307 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1308 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1309 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1310 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1311 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1312 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1313 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1314 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1315 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1316 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1317 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1318 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1319 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1320 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1321 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1322 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1323 generated dependencies.
1324 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1325 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1326 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1327 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1328 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1329 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1330 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1331 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1332 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1333 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1334 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1335 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1336 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1337 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1338 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1339 printers and classes all at once.
1340 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1341 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1342 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1343 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1344 value.
1c9c423b 1345 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1346 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1347 other options as strings.
f918a565 1348 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1349 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1350 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1351 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1352 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1353 option.
74cfdb8b 1354 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1355 integers and ranges.
1356 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1357 language support for CUPS.
1358
1359
ee8b7dd3 1360CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1361
843779ef 1362 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1363 attribute name length or string with language value
1364 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1365 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1366 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1367 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1368 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1369 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1370 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1371 - MacOS X fixes.
1372 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1373 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1374 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1375 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1376 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1377 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1378 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1379 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1380 require it.
1381
1382
d2503e02 1383CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1384
28a96fe2 1385 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1386 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1387 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1388 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1389 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1390 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1391 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1392 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1393 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1394 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1395 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1396 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1397 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1398 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1399 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1400 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1401 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1402 goes away.
7c587866 1403 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1404 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1405 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1406 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1407 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1408 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1409 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1410 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1411 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1412 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1413 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1414 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1415 connections to improve performance/response time.
1416 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1417 from Andrea Suatoni.
1418 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1419 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1420 tools support.
1421 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1422 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1423 existed.
1424 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1425 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1426 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1427 page-set option.
873a6f43 1428 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1429 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1430 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1431 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1432 etc.)
bd73c81f 1433 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1434 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1435 listing for a printer.
1436 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1437 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1438 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1439 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1440 values.
dd5f3453 1441 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1442 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1443 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1444 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1445 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1446 files.
1447 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1448 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1449 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1450 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1451 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1452 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1453 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1454 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1455 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1456 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1457 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1458 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1459 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1460 classification level, if set. This way the original
1461 banner settings are preserved when classification
1462 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1463 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1464 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1465 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1466 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1467 system default group was not used.
1468 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1469 send multiple control files.
1470 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1471 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1472 for the "https" scheme.
1473 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1474 from the web interface for accounts other than
1475 "root".
1476 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1477 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1478 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1479 address properly.
1480 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1481 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1482 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1483 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1484 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1485 information under Linux.
1486 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1487 option (if present) in PPD files.
1488 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1489 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1490 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1491 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1492 the lppasswd command.
1493 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1494 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1495 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1496 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1497 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1498 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1499 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1500 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1501 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1502 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1503 restarting cupsd.
1504 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1505 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1506 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1507 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1508 for commands on the standard input.
1509 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1510 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1511 pointer platforms...
1512
1513
1514CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1515
1516 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1517 files.
1518 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1519 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1520 destination type for the new destination.
1521 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1522 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1523 printer ACLs.
1524 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1525 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1526 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1527 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1528 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1529
1530
1531CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1532
1533 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1534 files.
1535 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1536 files.
1537 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1538 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1539 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1540 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1541 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1542 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1543 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1544 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1545 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1546 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1547 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1548 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1549 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1550 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1551 options exceeded 100...]
1552 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1553 was set to "No".
1554 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1555 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1556 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1557 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1558 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1559 faster.
1560 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1561 support properly support the "-h" or default
1562 server name.
1563 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1564 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1565 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1566 support printer instances.
1567 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1568 underline formatting.
1569 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1570 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1571 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1572 (-1).
1573 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1574 from printing to printers in that class.
1575 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1576 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1577 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1578 slower systems since more information had to be
1579 transferred from server to client.
1580 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1581 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1582 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1583 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1584 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1585 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1586 processing.
1587 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1588 to stderr instead of stdout...
1589 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1590 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1591 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1592 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1593 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1594 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1595 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1596 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1597 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1598 the Spanish banner files.
1599 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1600 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1601 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1602 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1603 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1604 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1605 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1606 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1607 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1608 information when printing via LPD.
1609 - Added many warning and informational messages
1610 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1611 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1612 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1613 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1614 provided.
1615 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1616 cupsd.conf.
1617 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1618 32k.
1619 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1620 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1621 possible.
1622 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1623 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1624 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1625 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1626 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1627 long values.
1628 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1629 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1630 to CGIs.
1631 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1632 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1633 time.
1634 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1635 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1636 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1637 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1638 result in a blank page being output...
1639 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1640 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1641 page comments when printing files directly...)
1642 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1643 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1644 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1645 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1646 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1647 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1648 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1649 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1650 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1651 original destination.
1652 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1653 requested-attributes attribute in the
1654 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1655 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1656 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1657 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1658 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1659 prints.
1660
1661
1662CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1663
1664 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1665 makefiles to install files properly.
1666
1667
1668CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1669
1670 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1671 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1672 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1673 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1674 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1675 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1676 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1677 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1678 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1679 server.
1680 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1681 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1682 with some types of flow control.
1683 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1684 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1685 server.
1686 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1687 lines in the configuration files.
1688 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1689 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1690 from the server.
1691 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1692 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1693 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1694 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1695 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1696 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1697 script. Previously the job's document format was
1698 used, which was incorrect.
1699 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1700 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1701 "raw" model from the command-line.
1702 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1703 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1704 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1705 printers.
1706 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1707 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1708 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1709 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1710 which caused some confusion... :)
1711 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1712 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1713
1714
1715CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1716
1717 - The configure script did not substitute the
1718 correct user and group names.
1719 - The configure script did not use the full path
1720 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1721 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1722 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1723 duplexing.
1724 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1725 distribution.
1726 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1727 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1728 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1729 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1730 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1731 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1732 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1733 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1734 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1735 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1736 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1737 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1738
1739
1740CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1741
1742 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1743 approach for the various tests.
1744 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1745 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1746 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1747 options to specify the default user and group for
1748 CUPS.
1749 - Added AIX shared library support.
1750 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1751 parallel ports.
1752 - Now use install program or script to install
1753 directories, files, and symlinks.
1754 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1755 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1756 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1757 print.
1758 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1759 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1760 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1761 64-bit boundary.
1762 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1763 skip the Digest keyword.
1764 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1765 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1766 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1767 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1768 authentication from passwd.md5.
1769 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1770 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1771 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1772 PPD files should start much faster now.
1773 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1774 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1775 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1776 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1777 times.
1778 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1779 code if an error occurred.
1780 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1781 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1782 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1783 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1784 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1785 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1786 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1787 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1788 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1789 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1790 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1791 copies would come out instead of N.
1792 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1793 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1794 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1795 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1796 output an even number of pages.
1797 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1798 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1799 from being cancelled early.
1800 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1801 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1802 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1803 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1804 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1805 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1806 "ESC i" graphics command.
1807 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1808 printers to a local class.
1809 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1810 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1811 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1812 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1813 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1814 printers that were part of a class.
1815 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1816 printer more than once.
1817 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1818 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1819 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1820 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1821 account.
1822 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1823 against a location of "/printers/name".
1824 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1825 upgrades properly.
1826 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1827 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1828 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1829 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1830 when using Digest authentication.
1831 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1832 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1833 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1834 file.
1835 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1836 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1837 server.
1838 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1839 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1840 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1841 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1842 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1843 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1844 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1845 not the empty string.
1846 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1847 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1848 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1849 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1850 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1851 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1852 supported file types into the
1853 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1854 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1855 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1856 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1857 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1858 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1859 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1860 or behave irratically.
1861 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1862 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1863 specified.
1864 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1865 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1866 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1867 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1868 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1869 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1870 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1871 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1872 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1873 location or description of the printer.
1874 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1875 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1876 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1877 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1878 multiple groups.
1879 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1880 Apache.
1881 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1882 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1883 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1884 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1885 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1886 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1887 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1888 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1889 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1890 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1891 Ghostscript code.
1892 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1893 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1894 size instead of percent of page size.)
1895 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1896 instead of root.
1897 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1898 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1899 size options.
1900 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1901 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1902 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1903 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1904 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1905 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1906 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1907 character.
1908
1909
1910CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1911
1912 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1913 package for pstoraster.
1914 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1915 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1916 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1917 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1918 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1919 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1920 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1921 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1922 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1923 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1924 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1925 history disabled.
1926 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1927 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1928 connections initially.
1929 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1930 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1931 throughout.
1932 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1933 Richard Begg.)
1934 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1935 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1936 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1937 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1938 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1939 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1940 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1941 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1942 #54489...
1943 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1944 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1945 (only affects page-label and Classification
1946 options.)
1947 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1948 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1949
1950
1951CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1952
1953 - Configuration script changes, including new
1954 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1955 documentation and web content according to your
1956 favorite version of the FHS.
1957 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1958 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1959 test CUPS prior to installation.
1960 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1961 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1962 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1963 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1964 directives.
1965 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1966 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1967 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1968 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1969 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1970 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1971 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1972 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1973 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1974 formats are supported at present.)
1975 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1976 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1977 all browsing off.
1978 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1979 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1980 document.
1981 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1982 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1983 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1984 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1985 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1986 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1987 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1988 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1989 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1990 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1991 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1992 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1993 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1994 server.
1995 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1996 PJL commands from PPD files.
1997 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1998 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1999 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2000 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2001 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2002 the next/current job in the queue.
2003 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2004 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2005 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2006 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2007 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2008 for Sun Raster images.
2009 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2010 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2011 function.
2012 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2013 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2014 command when printing to USB devices.
2015 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2016 the cupsd.conf file.
2017 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2018 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2019 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2020 /dev/urandom.
2021 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2022 httpGetSubField().
2023 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2024 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2025 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2026 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2027 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2028 CGI was currently running.
2029 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2030 option=true or option=false.
2031 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2032 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2033 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2034 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2035 could cause it to crash.
2036 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2037 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2038 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2039 attribute when altering a job.
2040 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2041 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2042 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2043 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2044 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2045 addresses.
2046 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2047 the current classification on each page.
2048 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2049 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2050 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2051 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2052 encryption.
2053 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2054 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2055 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2056 support instances.
2057 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2058 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2059 and should never be used in a production environment.
2060 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2061 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2062 interface.
2063 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2064 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2065 prevent caching of the results.
2066 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2067 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2068 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2069 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2070 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2071 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2072 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2073 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2074 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2075 submitted by a user.
2076 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2077 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2078 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2079 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2080 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2081 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2082 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2083 embedded spaces.
2084 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2085 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2086 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2087 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2088 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2089 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2090 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2091 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2092 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2093 by the GIMP.
2094 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2095 bypassed the authentication checks.
2096 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2097 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2098 a race condition between the client and server for the
2099 upgrade to TLS.
2100 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2101 the pstops filter.
2102 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2103 the custom page size in the raster header.
2104 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2105 size to the size of the printed image.
2106 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2107 which are required by some printers.
2108 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2109 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2110 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2111 DSC).
2112 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2113 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2114 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2115 driver.
2116 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2117 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2118 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2119 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2120 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2121 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2122 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2123 address this problem.
2124 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2125 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2126 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2127 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2128 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2129 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2130 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2131 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2132 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2133 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2134 to manage print jobs.
2135 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2136 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2137 of 0 length.
2138 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2139 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2140 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2141
2142
2143CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2144
2145 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2146 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2147 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2148 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2149 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2150 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2151 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2152 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2153 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2154 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2155 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2156 /dev/ulptN.
2157 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2158 classes it was a member of.
2159 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2160 implicit status of a class.
2161 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2162 from implicit classes.
2163 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2164 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2165 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2166 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2167 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2168 of the scheduler.
2169 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2170 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2171 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2172 the /#copies variable anymore.
2173 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2174 option.
2175 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2176 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2177 for a bad-request error)
2178 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2179 unimplemented, not invalid.
2180 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2181 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2182 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2183 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2184 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2185 (pstoraster).
2186 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2187 which are not used.
2188 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2189 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2190 cgi_initialize_string().
2191 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2192 ippSetCGIVars()
2193 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2194 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2195 leaks.
2196 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2197 fails.
2198 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2199 setuid() calls.
2200 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2201 calls.
2202 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2203 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2204 bad input.
2205 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2206 missing hex digits.
2207
2208
2209CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2210
2211 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2212 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2213 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2214 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2215 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2216 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2217 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2218 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2219 corruption on many printers)
2220 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2221 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2222 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2223 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2224 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2225 requests.
2226 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2227 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2228 was lost.
2229 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2230 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2231 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2232 to be used for a socket.
2233 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2234 a set were numeric or string types.
2235 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2236 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2237 reading *.conf files.
2238 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2239 same logic as GET requests.
2240 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2241 /index.html to requested directory name.
2242 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2243 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2244 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2245 instead of mode 0600.
2246 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2247 instead of 0600.
2248 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2249 system name in log filenames.
2250 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2251 and hex strings.
2252
2253
2254CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2255
2256 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2257 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2258 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2259
2260
2261CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2262
2263 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2264 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2265 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2266 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2267 filter programs properly.
2268 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2269 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2270 versions of GCC.
2271 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2272 cancelled in StartJob().
2273 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2274 written with restricted permissions.
2275 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2276 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2277 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2278 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2279 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2280 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2281 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2282 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2283 syslog file.
2284 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2285 and only specifies the document format if it is
2286 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2287 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2288 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2289 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2290 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2291 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2292 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2293 cancelled.
2294 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2295 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2296 sporatic web interface problems.
2297 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2298 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2299 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2300 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2301 whitespace.
2302 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2303 instead of an integer.
2304 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2305 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2306 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2307 and user-level access control.
2308 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2309 encryption.
2310 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2311 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2312 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2313 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2314 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2315 to the man page.
2316 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2317 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2318 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2319 queued for a printer.
2320 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2321 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2322 reporting.
2323
2324
2325CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2326
2327 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2328 code.
2329 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2330 check in backend/serial.c.
2331 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2332 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2333 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2334 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2335 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2336 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2337 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2338 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2339 anyways)
2340
2341
2342CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2343
2344 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2345 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2346 for run level 5.
2347 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2348 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2349 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2350 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2351 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2352 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2353 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2354
2355
2356CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2357
2358 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2359 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2360 access from the local system.
2361 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2362 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2363 - Documentation updates.
2364 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2365 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2366 RedHat or Mandrake.
2367 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2368 warnings.
2369 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2370 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2371 hex)
2372 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2373 crash the server.
2374 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2375 correct value length for name-with-language and
2376 text-with-language attributes.
2377 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2378 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2379 efficient IPP server performance.
2380 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2381 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2382 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2383 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2384 attack.
2385 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2386 data required when getting the list of printer or
2387 class information. This should improve performance
2388 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2389 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2390 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2391 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2392 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2393 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2394 override the lpoptions default printer.
2395 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2396 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2397 attributes.
2398 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2399 did not check for the correct value for collated
2400 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2401 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2402 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2403 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2404 scale mode 2.
2405 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2406 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2407 that started with a number.
2408 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2409 multiple times in name-with-language and
2410 text-with-language attributes.
2411 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2412 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2413 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2414 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2415 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2416 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2417 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2418 close the spool directory.
2419 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2420 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2421 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2422 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2423 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2424 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2425 larger than the source string; this protects
2426 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2427 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2428 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2429 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2430 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2431 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2432 remote printers.
2433 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2434 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2435 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2436 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2437 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2438 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2439 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2440 3-argument contains() function.
2441 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2442 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2443 database containing 0 printers.
2444 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2445 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2446 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2447 printer was always busy.
2448 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2449 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2450 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2451 jobs.
2452 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2453 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2454 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2455 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2456 57600 and 115200 baud.
2457 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2458 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2459 option in the device URI.
2460 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2461 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2462 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2463 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2464 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2465 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2466 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2467 job attributes to be changed.
2468 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2469 web interface.
2470 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2471 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2472 since they do not map)
2473 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2474 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2475 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2476 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2477 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2478 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2479 child signals while loading devices.
2480 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2481 and classes.
2482 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2483 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2484 driver dithering code.
2485 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2486 after the first active printer.
2487 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2488 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2489 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2490 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2491 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2492 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2493 accepted null values.
2494 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2495 of the backends.
2496 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2497 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2498 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2499 is set in the plot file.
2500 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2501 user name, causing it to always fail.
2502 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2503 under Windows.
2504 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2505 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2506 didn't handle control file job information in any
2507 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2508 a file.
2509 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2510 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2511 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2512 printing on some systems.
2513 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2514 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2515 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2516 it.
2517
2518
2519CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2520
2521 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2522 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2523 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2524 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2525 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2526 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2527 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2528 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2529 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2530 order, which prevented remote printing.
2531 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2532 IPP requests and language information when closing
2533 a client connection.
2534 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2535 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2536 compatibles)
2537 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2538 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2539 on many OS's.
2540 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2541 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2542 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2543 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2544 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2545 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2546 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2547 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2548 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2549 PPD files.
2550 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2551 when the destination printer supported it. This
2552 caused problems when printing text files to other
2553 CUPS servers.
2554 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2555 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2556 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2557 the dates.)
2558 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2559 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2560 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2561 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2562 be clipped.
2563
2564
2565CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2566
2567 - Makefile fixes.
2568 - RPM spec file changes.
2569 - Documentation updates.
2570 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2571 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2572 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2573 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2574 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2575 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2576 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2577 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2578 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2579 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2580 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2581 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2582 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2583 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2584 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2585 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2586 specified.
2587 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2588 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2589 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2590 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2591 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2592 cupsd.conf.
2593 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2594 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2595 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2596 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2597 filter mode 'l'.
2598 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2599 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2600 defaults for all print queues.
2601 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2602 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2603 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2604 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2605 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2606 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2607 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2608 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2609 printer was defined with the same name.
2610 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2611 remove options for a printer or instance.
2612 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2613 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2614 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2615 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2616 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2617 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2618 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2619 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2620 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2621 job-printer-uri attribute.
2622 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2623 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2624 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2625 remote printers.
2626 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2627 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2628 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2629 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2630 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2631 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2632 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2633 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2634 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2635 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2636 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2637 printer set using lpoptions.
2638 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2639 list the printer-specific options and their current
2640 settings.
2641 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2642 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2643 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2644 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2645 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2646 text printing.
2647 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2648 instances.
2649 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2650 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2651 limit.
2652 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2653 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2654 new client connections.
2655 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2656 required pagedevice parameters.
2657 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2658 under Linux.
2659 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2660 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2661 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2662 would stop processing.
2663 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2664 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2665 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2666 that was currently printing a job.
2667 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2668 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2669 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2670 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2671 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2672 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2673 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2674 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2675 option values separated by commas.
2676 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2677 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2678 and free bytes once a minute)
2679 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2680 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2681 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2682 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2683 printers.
2684 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2685 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2686 requests from that address to the server name.
2687 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2688 server.domain.com to localhost.
2689 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2690 the previous device and driver settings (except
2691 for serial ports.)
2692 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2693 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2694 after a job is completed when job file history is
2695 turned off.
2696 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2697 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2698 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2699 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2700 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2701 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2702 for "lpstat -v" output.
2703 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2704 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2705 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2706 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2707 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2708 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2709 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2710 by itself without quoting.
2711
2712
2713CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2714
2715 - Makefile/configure fixes
2716 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2717 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2718 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2719 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2720 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2721 number generator for certificates.
2722 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2723 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2724 the filter user, typically "lp".
2725 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2726 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2727 user.
2728 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2729 function.
2730 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2731 standard input.
2732 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2733 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2734 page header as needed.
2735 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2736 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2737 immediately when last-document was true.
2738 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2739 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2740 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2741 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2742 and many PS printers.
2743 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2744 filters.
2745 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2746 debugging problems.
2747 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2748 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2749 calling problem...)
2750 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2751 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2752 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2753 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2754 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2755 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2756 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2757 by default.
2758 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2759 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2760 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2761 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2762 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2763 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2764 CUPS software.
2765
2766
2767CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2768
2769 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2770 old PDF filter files.
2771 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2772 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2773 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2774 network devices.
2775 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2776 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2777 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2778 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2779 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2780 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2781 is defined otherwise.
2782 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2783 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2784 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2785 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2786 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2787 0-length PPD file was read.
2788 - The image filters were not handling images with
2789 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2790 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2791 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2792 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2793 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2794 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2795 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2796 documents if they don't have it.
2797 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2798 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2799 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2800 --prefix was specified.
2801 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2802 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2803 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2804 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2805 color mode until it can be fixed.
2806 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2807 correctly in all cases.
2808 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2809 time in banner files.
2810
2811
2812CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2813
2814 - Documentation updates.
2815 - Configuration script updates.
2816 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2817 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2818 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2819 ppd_file_t structure.
2820 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2821 before it was used.
2822 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2823 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2824 the localhost address.
2825 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2826 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2827 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2828 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2829 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2830 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2831 PDF support.
2832 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2833 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2834 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2835 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2836 pstoraster.
2837 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2838 the user.
2839 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2840 not running.
2841 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2842 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2843 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2844 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2845 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2846 setpagedevice operator.
2847 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2848 the default banner pages.
2849 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2850 "position" option.
2851 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2852 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2853 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2854 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2855 "printer@server") when possible.
2856 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2857 with no PageSize attributes.
2858 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2859 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2860 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2861 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2862 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2863 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2864 cupsd.
2865 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2866 locations.
2867 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2868 variables to specify installation directories as
2869 needed.
2870 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2871 when the scheduler is started.
2872 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2873 printer.
2874 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2875 printer are automatically deleted.
2876 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2877 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2878 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2879 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2880 request.
2881 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2882 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2883 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2884 is "no-hold".
2885 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2886 responses.
2887 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2888 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2889 printer.
2890 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2891 request fails.
2892 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2893 printer and class names.
2894 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2895 received in a POST request.
2896
2897
2898CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2899
2900 - Documentation updates.
2901 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2902 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2903 method.
2904 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2905 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2906 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2907 - Missing the job-restart template.
2908 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2909 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2910 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2911 not specified.
2912 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2913 from getting through.
2914 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2915 stderr.
2916 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2917 job name and display string, if supported.
2918 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2919 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2920 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2921 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2922 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2923 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2924 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2925 UTF-8...
2926 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2927 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2928 could cause cupsd to crash.
2929 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2930 crash.
2931 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2932 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2933 "HH:MM:SS".
2934 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2935 connection structure.
2936 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2937 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2938 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2939 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2940 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2941 is a potential security hole.
2942 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2943 new pstoraster.
2944 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2945 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2946 (/dev/usblp#)
2947 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2948 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2949 release.
2950
2951
2952CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2953
2954 - Documentation updates.
2955 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2956 now compile better under *BSD.)
2957 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2958 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2959 tray was selected.
2960 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2961 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2962 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2963 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2964 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2965 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2966 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2967 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2968 can handle.
2969 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2970 cause cupsd to crash.
2971 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2972 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2973 mime.types file.
2974 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2975 of file to be used as a banner.
2976 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2977 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2978 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2979 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2980 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2981 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2982 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2983 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2984 the IANA registrations.
2985 - New PostScript banner pages.
2986 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2987 filter.
2988 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2989 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2990 code.
2991 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2992 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2993 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2994 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2995 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2996 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2997 accurate width specification.
2998 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2999 files.
3000 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3001 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3002 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3003 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3004 that support it.
3005 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3006 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3007 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3008 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3009 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3010 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3011 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3012 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3013 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3014 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3015
3016
3017CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3018
3019 - Documentation updates.
3020 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3021 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3022 shell and Bash.
3023 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3024 code.
3025 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3026 manufacturer in the PPD.
3027 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3028 output attributes to be set.
3029 - Added banner page support.
3030 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3031 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3032 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3033 timezone offset.
3034 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3035 file is generated).
3036 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3037 printers when they became available.
3038 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3039 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3040 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3041 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3042 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3043 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3044 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3045 (override with -f)
3046 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3047 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3048 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3049 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3050 folks.
3051 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3052 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3053 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3054 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3055 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3056 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3057 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3058 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3059 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3060 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3061 languages (still only have templates for English)
3062 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3063 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3064 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3065 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3066 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3067 needed for some sites)
3068 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3069 templates.
3070 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3071 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3072 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3073 specific printer.
3074 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3075 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3076 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3077 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3078 authentication.
3079 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3080 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3081 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3082 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3083 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3084 filter.
3085 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3086 US-ASCII.
3087 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3088 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3089 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3090 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3091 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3092 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3093 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3094 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3095 basis without environment variables.
3096 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3097
3098
3099CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3100
3101 - Documentation updates.
3102 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3103 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3104 printer.
3105 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3106 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3107 distribution.
3108 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3109 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3110 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3111 to match the IPP spec.
3112 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3113 (previously they would be ignored)
3114 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3115 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3116 machines.
3117 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3118 and printer.
3119 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3120 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3121 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3122 BrowseRelay directives.
3123 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3124 still receives information on remote printers.
3125 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3126 networks)
3127 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3128 of PPD files.
3129 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3130 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3131 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3132 close their input files.

3153 was being used.
3154 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
