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

2633 was being used.
2634 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
