445 - The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
446 character, which is not required by the Base64
447 encoding specification (STR #407)
52a9a175 448 - The signal handlers did not need to call sigset();
449 this caused a recursion problem on some versions of
450 IRIX (STR #422)
451 - Moved the scheduler termination code into the mainline
452 to be consistent with the way other signals are
453 handled (STR #423)

a4bcc023 469 - "lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
470 even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
d68320d4 471 - The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
472 addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
473 the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
474 the error_log file (STR #337)
475 - The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
476 ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
477 defined PageSize (STR #365)

491 typed properly in some cases (STR #368)
d16f87bc 492 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
493 name provided an explicit character set name (STR

521 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
522 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
523 names, which caused some problems with the generated
524 URLs (STR #320)
525 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
526 option (STR #331)

543
4731c02f 544CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 545
6d8c10c5 546 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
547 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
548 printers that returned status info but were not ready
549 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 550 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
551 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
552 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
553 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 554 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
555 #289)

562 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
563 very difficult (STR #277)
564 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
565 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
566 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 567 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
568 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not

573 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
574 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
575 language localization for a request; this caused extra
576 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
577 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
578 one language specified (STR #267)
579
580
3fc87a99 581CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
582
a782f61f 583 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before

3ec5b662 593 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
594 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
595 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 596 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
597 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
598 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
599 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
600 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
601 URI (STR #247)
602 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
603 (STR #249)

607 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 608 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
609 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 610 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
611 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 612 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
613 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
614 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 615 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
616 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)

623 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
624 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 625 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
626 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
627 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
628 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 629 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
630 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
631 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
632 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
633 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 634 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
635 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)

642 the user already had specified the proper orientation
643 (STR #207)
e5734f04 644 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 645 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
646 #193)

648 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
649 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 650 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
651 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
652 programs rather than the port that the browser
653 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 654 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
655 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
656 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
657 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
658 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
659 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
660 files define the job-priority and
661 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 662 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
663 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 664 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
665 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
666 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
667 caused problems with some implementations of the
668 standard C library. (STR #159)
669 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
670 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 671 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf

674 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
675 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
676 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 677 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
678 strings if the description string is not available
679 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 680 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
681 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
682 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
683 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
684 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 685 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
686 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
687 #147)
20bde6fb 688 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
689 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
690 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)

696 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
697 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 698 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
699 files did not get installed (STR #148)
700 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
701 without shared libraries (STR #149)
702 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
703 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 704 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
705 capability bit (STR #144)
706 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
707 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 708 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
709 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
710 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 711 #139)
712 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
713 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 714 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
715 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 716 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
717 command after the PJL language escape to work around
718 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
719 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
720 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 721 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 722 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)

724
8dc4af74 725CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
726
a17e6548 727 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
728 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
729 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 730 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
731 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
732 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
733 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 734 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
735 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 736 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
737 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
738 #117)
739 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 740 - The configure script didn't specify the static
741 libraries properly when configuring with the

8fa5f1c6 756 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
757 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 758 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
759 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
760 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 761 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
762 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
763 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
764 #70)
92498b68 765 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
766 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 767 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.

769 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
770 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 771 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
772 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
773 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
774 annoying error message (STR #45)
775
776
2e6bce36 777CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 778

787 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 788 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
789 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
790 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
791
792
e309e07a 793CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
794
b07e0cc2 795 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
796 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)

820 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
821 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
822 requirements (STR #33)
823 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
824 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
825 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
826 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 827 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
828 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
829 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
830 hardware (STR #32)

843
ac098b06 844 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
845 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
846 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
847 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
848 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 849 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
850 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 851 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.

856 not work.
c8a55d2c 857 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
858 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.

868 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 869 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
870 on the page (STR #18)

873 #13)
b696f4e3 874 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
875 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
876 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 877 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 878 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
879 message files such as those used for the job history
880 in /var/spool/cups.

6e3d4276 884
265fb4a4 885 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
886 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 887 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
888 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
889 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
890 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
891 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
892 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 893 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 894 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
895 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 896 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
897 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
898 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 899 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
900 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 901 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
902 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
903 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
904 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 905 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
906 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
907 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
908 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
909 your locale.
5073e3f8 910 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
911 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
912 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 913 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
914 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 915 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
916 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
917 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
918 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
919 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 920 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
921 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 922 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
923 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
924 respectively) and has some additional changes to
925 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
926 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 927 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 928 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
929 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 930 - Added support for STATE: messages
931 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
932 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 933 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
934 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
935 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
936 root.
4d4fb342 937 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
938 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 939 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 940 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
941 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
942 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
943 information.
d40085f1 944 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
945 field.
dd9e85de 946 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
947 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
948 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
949 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
950 attribute to control whether job history data is
951 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
952 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
953 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 954 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
955 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 956 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
957 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
958 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 959 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
960 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
961 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
962 Kubla]
3f2fa036 963 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
964 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
965 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
966 sent. It now only references attributes that change
967 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
968 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
969 2k.
970 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
971 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
972 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 973 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
974 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 975 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
976 printer was available.
977 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
978 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
979 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 980 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
981 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 982 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
983 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
984 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 985 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
986 the image on the page when printing in landscape
987 orientation.
b3291c5a 988 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
989 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
990 and ManualFeed commands.
991 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
992 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 993 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
994 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
995 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
996 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
997 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 998 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
999 list of available devices, when it should have been
1000 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 1001 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
1002 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 1003 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
1004 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 1005 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
1006 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
1007 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
1008 up...
2e32fcdb 1009 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
1010 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
1011 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
1012 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 1013 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
1014 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
1015 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
1016 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 1017 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
1018 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 1019 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
1020 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
1021 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 1022 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
1023 variable under MacOS X.
1024 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
1025 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 1026 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
1027 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 1028 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
1029 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
1030 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 1031 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
1032 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 1033 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
1034 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
1035 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 1036 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 1037 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
1038 sequence.
49d1718a 1039 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
1040 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 1041 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 1042 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
1043 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 1044 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
1045 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 1046 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
1047 Apple.
8bd0441f 1048 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
1049 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 1050 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
1051 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
1052 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
1053 option.
1054 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
1055 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 1056 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
1057 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
1058 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 1059 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
1060 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
1061 via IPP.
edd85093 1062 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
1063 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 1064 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
1065 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 1066 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
1067 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
1068 means that printers that don't report their serial
1069 numbers in the device ID string will not be
1070 individually selectable.
d0598693 1071 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
1072 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 1073 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 1074 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
1075 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
1076 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
1077 the same.
1078 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
1079 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
1080 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 1081 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
1082 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 1083 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
1084 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 1085 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
1086 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
1087 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 1088 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
1089 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 1090 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
1091 an attribute definition.
de218675 1092 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
1093 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
1094 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
1095 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 1096 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
1097 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
1098 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
1099 situations. The warning message is now written no more
1100 than once per minute.
67fa1315 1101 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
1102 PS RIPs.
320115a7 1103 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
1104 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
1105 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 1106 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
1107 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
1108 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
1109 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
1110 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
1111 program or man page files.
1112
1113
759f5023 1114CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
1115
e38a7cef 1116 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
1117 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
1118 write a job control file.
f63a430f 1119 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
1120 directive to control whether new printers can be added
1121 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
1122 default is to not allow printers with these device
1123 URIs.
767ae392 1124 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
1125 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
1126 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 1127 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
1128 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
1129 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
1130 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 1131 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
1132 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 1133 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
1134 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
1135 attacks.
901b295d 1136 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
1137 interface.
1138 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
1139 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
1140 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 1141 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
1142 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
1143 the scheduler did not close the connections
1144 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 1145 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
1146 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 1147 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
1148 back to its original at the end of a job; this
1149 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
1150 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 1151 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
1152 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 1153 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
1154 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
1155 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
1156 PPD files.
dcc2e394 1157 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
1158 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
1159 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 1160 - The web interface did not always report the correct
1161 error message.
759f5023 1162 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
1163 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
1164 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
1165 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
1166 process from returning.
1167
1168
3cc7bca4 1169CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
1170
5c826e17 1171 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
1172 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 1173 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 1174 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
1175 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 1176 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
1177 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
1178 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
1179 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
1180 ticket data.
1181 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
1182 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
1183 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 1184 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
1185 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
1186 group membership still requires the account name to be
1187 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 1188 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
1189 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
1190 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
1191 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 1192 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
1193 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 1194 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
1195 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
1196 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
1197 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
1198 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 1199 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
1200 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 1201 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
1202 caused by servers sending the status line and
1203 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 1204 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
1205 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
1206 empty.
78143282 1207 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
1208 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 1209 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
1210 Windows.
f33d1239 1211 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
1212 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 1213 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
1214 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
1215 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 1216 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
1217 (interrupted system call) errors.
1218 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
1219 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
1220 caused by the child signal handler.
1221 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
1222 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
1223 error.
e1e31a38 1224 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
1225 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 1226 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
1227 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 1228 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
1229 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
1230 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 1231 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
1232 properly localized time string.
549d1888 1233 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
1234 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
1235 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 1236 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
1237 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 1238 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
1239 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
1240 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
1241 scheduler.
1242 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
1243 scheduler so that the printer object information is
1244 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
1245 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
1246 queues.
854d3bb2 1247 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
1248 filename.
137d4d44 1249 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
1250 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
1251 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
1252 automatic form feed.
1253 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 1254 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
1255 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 1256 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
1257 MacOS X.
1258 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
1259 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
1260 has been removed.
1261
1262
06415a96 1263CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
1264
727e6d14 1265 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
1266 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
1267 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
1268 printer.
1269 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
1270 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 1271 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
1272 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
1273 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 1274 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
1275 you can display completed jobs as well as
1276 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 1277 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
1278 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
1279 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 1280 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
1281 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
1282 occurs.
db628f45 1283 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
1284 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 1285 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
1286 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
1287 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
1288 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
1289 the page number.
da312e94 1290 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
1291 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 1292 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 1293 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
1294 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
1295 banner pages.
25037b2b 1296 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
1297 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
1298 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 1299 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 1300 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
1301 reliably.
a9219725 1302 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
1303 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
1304 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
1305 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 1306 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
1307 connection when sending an error that requires the
1308 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
1309 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
1310 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 1311 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
1312 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
1313 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
1314 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 1315 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
1316 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
1317 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
1318 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 1319 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
1320 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 1321 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
1322 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 1323 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
1324 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 1325 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
1326 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 1327 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
1328 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
1329 defines a circular filter rule.
1330 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
1331 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 1332 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
1333 files.
5ca43bfd 1334 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
1335 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 1336 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
1337 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
1338 compatibility).
879062a9 1339 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 1340 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
1341 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
1342 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 1343 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
1344 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 1345 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
1346 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
1347 shutdown.
098f80c5 1348 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
1349 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
1350 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 1351 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
1352 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
1353 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
1354 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 1355 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
1356 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
1357 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 1358 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
1359 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 1360 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
1361 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
1362 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
1363 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 1364 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
1365 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
1366 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 1367 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
1368 connect to the remote server name in a
1369 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
1370 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
1371 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
1372 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 1373 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
1374 the program would try to print the option letter that
1375 caused the error using the wrong index into the
1376 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 1377 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
1378 attributes from printer options in
1379 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 1380 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
1381 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 1382 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 1383 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
1384 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 1385 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
1386 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
1387 characters.
1388 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
1389 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
1390 the language mode.
1391 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
1392 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
1393 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
1394 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
1395 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 1396 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 1397 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
1398 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 1399 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
1400 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 1401 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
1402 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
1403 driver.
997cf8b0 1404 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
1405 the next available printer rather than waiting until
1406 that printer is available.
1407 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
1408 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
1409 printer class instead of a normal printer.
1410 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
1411 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
1412 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 1413 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
1414 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
1415 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
1416 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 1417 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
1418 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
1419 to accept connections.
1420 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
1421 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
1422 and current directory.
1423 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
1424 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
1425 into the file type database would no longer be valid
1426 for existing jobs.
1427 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
1428 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
1429 actually provided.
1430 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 1431 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
1432 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 1433 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
1434 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 1435 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
1436 case-insensitive.
1437 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
1438 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 1439 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
1440 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
1441 Solaris.
b91c8a76 1442 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
1443 printing banner pages.
4f759211 1444 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 1445 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
1446 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 1447 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
1448 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 1449 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
1450 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
1451 file.
8ce19460 1452 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
1453 description from member printers.
fabb006b 1454 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
1455 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 1456 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 1457 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
1458 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 1459 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
1460 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 1461 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
1462 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
1463 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 1464 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
1465 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
1466 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
1467 up...
19e7b382 1468 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
1469 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
1470 authentication didn't work for administration
1471 operations.
103abc03 1472 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
1473 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 1474 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
1475 interface to "localhost".
1476 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
1477 response to queue state commands, but those commands
1478 only return textual data.
1479
1480
7680b71d 1481CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
1482
1483 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
1484 string function header, which is required on systems
1485 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1486 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1487 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1488 have to.
1489
1490
74cfdb8b 1491CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1492
dab1a4d8 1493 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
1494 license exception.

1496 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1497 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1498 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1499 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1500 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1501 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1502 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1503 options.
1504 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1505 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1506 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1507 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1508 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1509 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1510 queues) on the server.
1511 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1512 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1513 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1514 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1515 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1516 set definitions.
a319615f 1517 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1518 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1519 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1520 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1521 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1522 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1523 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1524 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1525 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1526 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1527 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1528 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1529 comes from...
6df23e27 1530 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1531 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1532 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1533 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1534 using the default printer.
1535 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1536 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1537 to allow for longer printer names.
1538 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1539 history data.
1540 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1541 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1542 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1543 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1544 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1545 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1546 caused problems on some installations that would
1547 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1548 level 3.
1549 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1550 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1551 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1552 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1553 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1554 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1555 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1556 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1557 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1558 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1559 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1560 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1561 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1562 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1563 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1564 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1565 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1566 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1567 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1568 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1569 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1570 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1571 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1572 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1573 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1574 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1575 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1576 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1577 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1578 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1579 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1580 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1581 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1582 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1583 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1584 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1585 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1586 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1587 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1588 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1589 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1590 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1591 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1592 classes.
7200e26c 1593 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1594 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1595 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1596 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1597 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1598 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1599 control and browsing based on the current interface
1600 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1601 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1602 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1603 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1604 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1605 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1606 group.
f4647930 1607 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1608 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1609 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1610 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1611 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1612 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1613 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1614 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1615 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1616 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1617 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1618 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1619 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1620 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1621 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1622 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1623 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1624 generated dependencies.
1625 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1626 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1627 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1628 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1629 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1630 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1631 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1632 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1633 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1634 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1635 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1636 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1637 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1638 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1639 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1640 printers and classes all at once.
1641 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1642 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1643 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1644 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1645 value.
1c9c423b 1646 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1647 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1648 other options as strings.
f918a565 1649 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1650 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1651 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1652 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1653 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1654 option.
74cfdb8b 1655 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1656 integers and ranges.
1657 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1658 language support for CUPS.
1659
1660
ee8b7dd3 1661CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1662
843779ef 1663 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1664 attribute name length or string with language value
1665 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1666 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1667 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1668 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1669 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1670 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1671 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1672 - MacOS X fixes.
1673 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1674 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1675 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1676 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1677 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1678 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1679 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1680 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1681 require it.
1682
1683
d2503e02 1684CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1685
28a96fe2 1686 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1687 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1688 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1689 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1690 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1691 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1692 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1693 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1694 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1695 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1696 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1697 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1698 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1699 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1700 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1701 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1702 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1703 goes away.
7c587866 1704 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1705 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1706 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1707 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1708 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1709 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1710 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1711 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1712 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1713 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1714 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1715 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1716 connections to improve performance/response time.
1717 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1718 from Andrea Suatoni.
1719 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1720 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1721 tools support.
1722 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1723 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1724 existed.
1725 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1726 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1727 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1728 page-set option.
873a6f43 1729 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1730 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1731 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1732 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1733 etc.)
bd73c81f 1734 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1735 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1736 listing for a printer.
1737 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1738 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1739 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1740 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1741 values.
dd5f3453 1742 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1743 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1744 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1745 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1746 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1747 files.
1748 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1749 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1750 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1751 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1752 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1753 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1754 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1755 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1756 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1757 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1758 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1759 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1760 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1761 classification level, if set. This way the original
1762 banner settings are preserved when classification
1763 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1764 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1765 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1766 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1767 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1768 system default group was not used.
1769 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1770 send multiple control files.
1771 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1772 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1773 for the "https" scheme.
1774 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1775 from the web interface for accounts other than
1776 "root".
1777 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1778 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1779 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1780 address properly.
1781 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1782 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1783 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1784 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1785 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1786 information under Linux.
1787 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1788 option (if present) in PPD files.
1789 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1790 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1791 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1792 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1793 the lppasswd command.
1794 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1795 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1796 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1797 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1798 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1799 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1800 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1801 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1802 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1803 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1804 restarting cupsd.
1805 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1806 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1807 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1808 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1809 for commands on the standard input.
1810 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1811 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1812 pointer platforms...
1813
1814
1815CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1816
1817 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1818 files.
1819 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1820 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1821 destination type for the new destination.
1822 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1823 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1824 printer ACLs.
1825 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1826 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1827 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1828 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1829 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1830
1831
1832CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1833
1834 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1835 files.
1836 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1837 files.
1838 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1839 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1840 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1841 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1842 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1843 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1844 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1845 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1846 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1847 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1848 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1849 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1850 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1851 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1852 options exceeded 100...]
1853 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1854 was set to "No".
1855 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1856 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1857 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1858 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1859 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1860 faster.
1861 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1862 support properly support the "-h" or default
1863 server name.
1864 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1865 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1866 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1867 support printer instances.
1868 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1869 underline formatting.
1870 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1871 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1872 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1873 (-1).
1874 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1875 from printing to printers in that class.
1876 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1877 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1878 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1879 slower systems since more information had to be
1880 transferred from server to client.
1881 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1882 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1883 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1884 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1885 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1886 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1887 processing.
1888 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1889 to stderr instead of stdout...
1890 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1891 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1892 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1893 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1894 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1895 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1896 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1897 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1898 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1899 the Spanish banner files.
1900 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1901 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1902 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1903 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1904 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1905 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1906 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1907 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1908 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1909 information when printing via LPD.
1910 - Added many warning and informational messages
1911 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1912 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1913 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1914 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1915 provided.
1916 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1917 cupsd.conf.
1918 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1919 32k.
1920 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1921 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1922 possible.
1923 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1924 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1925 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1926 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1927 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1928 long values.
1929 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1930 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1931 to CGIs.
1932 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1933 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1934 time.
1935 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1936 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1937 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1938 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1939 result in a blank page being output...
1940 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1941 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1942 page comments when printing files directly...)
1943 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1944 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1945 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1946 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1947 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1948 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1949 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1950 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1951 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1952 original destination.
1953 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1954 requested-attributes attribute in the
1955 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1956 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1957 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1958 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1959 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1960 prints.
1961
1962
1963CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1964
1965 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1966 makefiles to install files properly.
1967
1968
1969CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1970
1971 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1972 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1973 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1974 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1975 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1976 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1977 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1978 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1979 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1980 server.
1981 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1982 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1983 with some types of flow control.
1984 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1985 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1986 server.
1987 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1988 lines in the configuration files.
1989 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1990 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1991 from the server.
1992 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1993 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1994 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1995 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1996 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1997 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1998 script. Previously the job's document format was
1999 used, which was incorrect.
2000 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
2001 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
2002 "raw" model from the command-line.
2003 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
2004 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
2005 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
2006 printers.
2007 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
2008 Chinese text support compiled into it.
2009 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
2010 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
2011 which caused some confusion... :)
2012 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
2013 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
2014
2015
2016CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
2017
2018 - The configure script did not substitute the
2019 correct user and group names.
2020 - The configure script did not use the full path
2021 to the install-sh script when it was used.
2022 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
2023 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
2024 duplexing.
2025 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
2026 distribution.
2027 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
2028 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
2029 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
2030 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
2031 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
2032 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
2033 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
2034 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
2035 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
2036 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
2037 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
2038 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
2039
2040
2041CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
2042
2043 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
2044 approach for the various tests.
2045 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
2046 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
2047 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
2048 options to specify the default user and group for
2049 CUPS.
2050 - Added AIX shared library support.
2051 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
2052 parallel ports.
2053 - Now use install program or script to install
2054 directories, files, and symlinks.
2055 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
2056 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
2057 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
2058 print.
2059 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
2060 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
2061 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
2062 64-bit boundary.
2063 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
2064 skip the Digest keyword.
2065 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
2066 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
2067 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
2068 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
2069 authentication from passwd.md5.
2070 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
2071 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
2072 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
2073 PPD files should start much faster now.
2074 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
2075 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
2076 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
2077 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
2078 times.
2079 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
2080 code if an error occurred.
2081 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
2082 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
2083 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
2084 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
2085 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
2086 eliminates the buffer start bug.
2087 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
2088 the receiving device didn't support the copies
2089 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
2090 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
2091 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
2092 copies would come out instead of N.
2093 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
2094 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
2095 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
2096 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
2097 output an even number of pages.
2098 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
2099 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
2100 from being cancelled early.
2101 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
2102 instances, and options that are not defined by the
2103 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
2104 options from being used in individual user accounts.
2105 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
2106 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
2107 "ESC i" graphics command.
2108 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
2109 printers to a local class.
2110 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
2111 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
2112 - The scheduler did not load or save the
2113 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
2114 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
2115 printers that were part of a class.
2116 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
2117 printer more than once.
2118 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
2119 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
2120 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
2121 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
2122 account.
2123 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
2124 against a location of "/printers/name".
2125 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
2126 upgrades properly.
2127 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
2128 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
2129 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
2130 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
2131 when using Digest authentication.
2132 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
2133 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
2134 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
2135 file.
2136 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
2137 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
2138 server.
2139 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
2140 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
2141 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
2142 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
2143 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
2144 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
2145 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
2146 not the empty string.
2147 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
2148 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
2149 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
2150 unsupported attributes which should normally be
2151 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
2152 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
2153 supported file types into the
2154 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
2155 clients to not send the local file type (such as
2156 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
2157 corresponding bad output in some cases.
2158 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
2159 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
2160 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
2161 or behave irratically.
2162 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
2163 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
2164 specified.
2165 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
2166 completed or reported as "pending-held".
2167 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
2168 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
2169 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
2170 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
2171 retrieve and update the server configuration files
2172 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
2173 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
2174 location or description of the printer.
2175 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
2176 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
2177 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
2178 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
2179 multiple groups.
2180 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
2181 Apache.
2182 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
2183 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
2184 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
2185 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
2186 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
2187 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
2188 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
2189 the page-ranges option from working properly.
2190 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
2191 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
2192 Ghostscript code.
2193 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
2194 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
2195 size instead of percent of page size.)
2196 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
2197 instead of root.
2198 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
2199 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
2200 size options.
2201 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
2202 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
2203 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
2204 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
2205 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
2206 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
2207 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
2208 character.
2209
2210
2211CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
2212
2213 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
2214 package for pstoraster.
2215 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
2216 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
2217 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
2218 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2219 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
2220 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
2221 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
2222 - The IPP backend did not handle the
2223 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
2224 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
2225 to stop on client machines when the server had job
2226 history disabled.
2227 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
2228 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
2229 connections initially.
2230 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
2231 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
2232 throughout.
2233 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
2234 Richard Begg.)
2235 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
2236 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
2237 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
2238 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
2239 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
2240 in the first page instead of the document setup section
2241 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
2242 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
2243 #54489...
2244 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
2245 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
2246 (only affects page-label and Classification
2247 options.)
2248 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
2249 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
2250
2251
2252CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
2253
2254 - Configuration script changes, including new
2255 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
2256 documentation and web content according to your
2257 favorite version of the FHS.
2258 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
2259 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
2260 test CUPS prior to installation.
2261 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
2262 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 2263 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
2264 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 2265 directives.
2266 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
2267 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
2268 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
2269 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
2270 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
2271 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
2272 might not work with some LPD servers...)
2273 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
2274 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
2275 formats are supported at present.)
2276 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
2277 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
2278 all browsing off.
2279 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
2280 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
2281 document.
2282 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
2283 to requests without the attributes-charset or
2284 attributes-natural-language attributes.
2285 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
2286 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
2287 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
2288 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
2289 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
2290 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
2291 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
2292 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
2293 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
2294 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
2295 server.
2296 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
2297 PJL commands from PPD files.
2298 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
2299 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
2300 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
2301 cancel all jobs on all printers.
2302 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
2303 the next/current job in the queue.
2304 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
2305 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
2306 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
2307 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
2308 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
2309 for Sun Raster images.
2310 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
2311 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
2312 function.
2313 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
2314 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
2315 command when printing to USB devices.
2316 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
2317 the cupsd.conf file.
2318 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
2319 which could block if insufficient entropy information
2320 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
2321 /dev/urandom.
2322 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
2323 httpGetSubField().
2324 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
2325 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
2326 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
2327 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
2328 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
2329 CGI was currently running.
2330 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
2331 option=true or option=false.
2332 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
2333 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
2334 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
2335 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
2336 could cause it to crash.
2337 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
2338 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
2339 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
2340 attribute when altering a job.
2341 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
2342 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
2343 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
2344 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
2345 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
2346 addresses.
2347 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
2348 the current classification on each page.
2349 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
2350 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
2351 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
2352 for CGI programs when a client connects using
2353 encryption.
2354 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
2355 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
2356 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
2357 support instances.
2358 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
2359 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
2360 and should never be used in a production environment.
2361 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
2362 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
2363 interface.
2364 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
2365 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
2366 prevent caching of the results.
2367 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
2368 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
2369 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
2370 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
2371 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
2372 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
2373 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
2374 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
2375 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
2376 submitted by a user.
2377 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
2378 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
2379 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
2380 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
2381 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
2382 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
2383 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
2384 embedded spaces.
2385 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
2386 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
2387 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
2388 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
2389 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
2390 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
2391 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
2392 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
2393 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
2394 by the GIMP.
2395 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
2396 bypassed the authentication checks.
2397 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
2398 to the client and end the current request. This caused
2399 a race condition between the client and server for the
2400 upgrade to TLS.
2401 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
2402 the pstops filter.
2403 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
2404 the custom page size in the raster header.
2405 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
2406 size to the size of the printed image.
2407 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
2408 which are required by some printers.
2409 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
2410 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
2411 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
2412 DSC).
2413 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
2414 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
2415 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
2416 driver.
2417 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
2418 font list was not terminated by a newline.
2419 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
2420 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
2421 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
2422 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
2423 workaround using a static variable has been added to
2424 address this problem.
2425 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
2426 that could cause printers to disappear or the
2427 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
2428 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
2429 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
2430 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
2431 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
2432 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
2433 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
2434 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
2435 to manage print jobs.
2436 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
2437 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
2438 of 0 length.
2439 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
2440 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
2441 Guiliani for finding this bug!
2442
2443
2444CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
2445
2446 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
2447 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
2448 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
2449 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
2450 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
2451 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
2452 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
2453 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
2454 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
2455 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
2456 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
2457 /dev/ulptN.
2458 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
2459 classes it was a member of.
2460 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
2461 implicit status of a class.
2462 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
2463 from implicit classes.
2464 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
2465 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
2466 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
2467 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
2468 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
2469 of the scheduler.
2470 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
2471 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
2472 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
2473 the /#copies variable anymore.
2474 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
2475 option.
2476 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
2477 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
2478 for a bad-request error)
2479 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
2480 unimplemented, not invalid.
2481 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
2482 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
2483 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
2484 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
2485 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2486 (pstoraster).
2487 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2488 which are not used.
2489 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2490 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2491 cgi_initialize_string().
2492 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2493 ippSetCGIVars()
2494 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2495 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2496 leaks.
2497 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2498 fails.
2499 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2500 setuid() calls.
2501 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2502 calls.
2503 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2504 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2505 bad input.
2506 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2507 missing hex digits.
2508
2509
2510CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2511
2512 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2513 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2514 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2515 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2516 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2517 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2518 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2519 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2520 corruption on many printers)
2521 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2522 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2523 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2524 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2525 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2526 requests.
2527 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2528 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2529 was lost.
2530 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2531 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2532 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2533 to be used for a socket.
2534 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2535 a set were numeric or string types.
2536 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2537 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2538 reading *.conf files.
2539 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2540 same logic as GET requests.
2541 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2542 /index.html to requested directory name.
2543 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2544 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2545 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2546 instead of mode 0600.
2547 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2548 instead of 0600.
2549 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2550 system name in log filenames.
2551 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2552 and hex strings.
2553
2554
2555CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2556
2557 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2558 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2559 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2560
2561
2562CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2563
2564 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2565 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2566 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2567 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2568 filter programs properly.
2569 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2570 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2571 versions of GCC.
2572 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2573 cancelled in StartJob().
2574 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2575 written with restricted permissions.
2576 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2577 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2578 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2579 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2580 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2581 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2582 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2583 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2584 syslog file.
2585 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2586 and only specifies the document format if it is
2587 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2588 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2589 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2590 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2591 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2592 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2593 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2594 cancelled.
2595 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2596 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2597 sporatic web interface problems.
2598 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2599 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2600 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2601 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2602 whitespace.
2603 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2604 instead of an integer.
2605 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2606 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2607 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2608 and user-level access control.
2609 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2610 encryption.
2611 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2612 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2613 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2614 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2615 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2616 to the man page.
2617 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2618 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2619 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2620 queued for a printer.
2621 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2622 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2623 reporting.
2624
2625
2626CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2627
2628 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2629 code.
2630 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2631 check in backend/serial.c.
2632 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2633 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2634 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2635 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2636 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2637 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2638 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2639 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2640 anyways)
2641
2642
2643CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2644
2645 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2646 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2647 for run level 5.
2648 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2649 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2650 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2651 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2652 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2653 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2654 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2655
2656
2657CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2658
2659 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2660 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2661 access from the local system.
2662 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2663 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2664 - Documentation updates.
2665 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2666 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2667 RedHat or Mandrake.
2668 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2669 warnings.
2670 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2671 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2672 hex)
2673 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2674 crash the server.
2675 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2676 correct value length for name-with-language and
2677 text-with-language attributes.
2678 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2679 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2680 efficient IPP server performance.
2681 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2682 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2683 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2684 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2685 attack.
2686 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2687 data required when getting the list of printer or
2688 class information. This should improve performance
2689 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2690 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2691 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2692 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2693 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2694 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2695 override the lpoptions default printer.
2696 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2697 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2698 attributes.
2699 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2700 did not check for the correct value for collated
2701 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2702 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2703 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2704 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2705 scale mode 2.
2706 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2707 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2708 that started with a number.
2709 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2710 multiple times in name-with-language and
2711 text-with-language attributes.
2712 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2713 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2714 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2715 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2716 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2717 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2718 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2719 close the spool directory.
2720 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2721 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2722 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2723 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2724 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2725 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2726 larger than the source string; this protects
2727 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2728 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2729 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2730 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2731 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2732 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2733 remote printers.
2734 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2735 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2736 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2737 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2738 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2739 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2740 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2741 3-argument contains() function.
2742 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2743 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2744 database containing 0 printers.
2745 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2746 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2747 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2748 printer was always busy.
2749 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2750 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2751 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2752 jobs.
2753 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2754 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2755 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2756 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2757 57600 and 115200 baud.
2758 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2759 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2760 option in the device URI.
2761 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2762 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2763 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2764 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2765 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2766 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2767 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2768 job attributes to be changed.
2769 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2770 web interface.
2771 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2772 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2773 since they do not map)
2774 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2775 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2776 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2777 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2778 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2779 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2780 child signals while loading devices.
2781 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2782 and classes.
2783 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2784 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2785 driver dithering code.
2786 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2787 after the first active printer.
2788 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2789 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2790 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2791 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2792 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2793 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2794 accepted null values.
2795 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2796 of the backends.
2797 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2798 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2799 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2800 is set in the plot file.
2801 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2802 user name, causing it to always fail.
2803 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2804 under Windows.
2805 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2806 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2807 didn't handle control file job information in any
2808 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2809 a file.
2810 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2811 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2812 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2813 printing on some systems.
2814 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2815 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2816 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2817 it.
2818
2819
2820CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2821
2822 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2823 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2824 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2825 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2826 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2827 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2828 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2829 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2830 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2831 order, which prevented remote printing.
2832 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2833 IPP requests and language information when closing
2834 a client connection.
2835 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2836 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2837 compatibles)
2838 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2839 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2840 on many OS's.
2841 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2842 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2843 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2844 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2845 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2846 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2847 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2848 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2849 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2850 PPD files.
2851 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2852 when the destination printer supported it. This
2853 caused problems when printing text files to other
2854 CUPS servers.
2855 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2856 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2857 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2858 the dates.)
2859 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2860 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2861 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2862 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2863 be clipped.
2864
2865
2866CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2867
2868 - Makefile fixes.
2869 - RPM spec file changes.
2870 - Documentation updates.
2871 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2872 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2873 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2874 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2875 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2876 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2877 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2878 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2879 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2880 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2881 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2882 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2883 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2884 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2885 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2886 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2887 specified.
2888 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2889 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2890 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2891 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2892 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2893 cupsd.conf.
2894 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2895 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2896 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2897 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2898 filter mode 'l'.
2899 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2900 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2901 defaults for all print queues.
2902 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2903 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2904 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2905 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2906 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2907 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2908 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2909 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2910 printer was defined with the same name.
2911 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2912 remove options for a printer or instance.
2913 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2914 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2915 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2916 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2917 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2918 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2919 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2920 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2921 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2922 job-printer-uri attribute.
2923 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2924 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2925 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2926 remote printers.
2927 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2928 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2929 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2930 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2931 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2932 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2933 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2934 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2935 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2936 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2937 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2938 printer set using lpoptions.
2939 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2940 list the printer-specific options and their current
2941 settings.
2942 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2943 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2944 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2945 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2946 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2947 text printing.
2948 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2949 instances.
2950 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2951 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2952 limit.
2953 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2954 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2955 new client connections.
2956 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2957 required pagedevice parameters.
2958 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2959 under Linux.
2960 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2961 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2962 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2963 would stop processing.
2964 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2965 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2966 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2967 that was currently printing a job.
2968 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2969 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2970 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2971 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2972 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2973 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2974 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2975 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2976 option values separated by commas.
2977 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2978 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2979 and free bytes once a minute)
2980 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2981 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2982 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2983 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2984 printers.
2985 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2986 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2987 requests from that address to the server name.
2988 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2989 server.domain.com to localhost.
2990 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2991 the previous device and driver settings (except
2992 for serial ports.)
2993 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2994 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2995 after a job is completed when job file history is
2996 turned off.
2997 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2998 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2999 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
3000 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
3001 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
3002 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
3003 for "lpstat -v" output.
3004 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
3005 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
3006 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
3007 the lpadmin command didn't work.
3008 - The banner pages and test page should now format
3009 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
3010 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
3011 by itself without quoting.
3012
3013
3014CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
3015
3016 - Makefile/configure fixes
3017 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
3018 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
3019 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
3020 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
3021 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
3022 number generator for certificates.
3023 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
3024 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
3025 the filter user, typically "lp".
3026 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
3027 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
3028 user.
3029 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
3030 function.
3031 - The image filters now support filtering from the
3032 standard input.
3033 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
3034 options and job patch files and applies them to the
3035 page header as needed.
3036 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
3037 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
3038 immediately when last-document was true.
3039 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
3040 replace the current job-hold-until value.
3041 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
3042 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
3043 and many PS printers.
3044 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
3045 filters.
3046 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
3047 debugging problems.
3048 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
3049 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
3050 calling problem...)
3051 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
3052 -d/-P were specified after -o.
3053 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
3054 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
3055 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
3056 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
3057 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
3058 by default.
3059 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
3060 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
3061 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
3062 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
3063 - New Software Performance Specification document that
3064 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
3065 CUPS software.
3066
3067
3068CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
3069
3070 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
3071 old PDF filter files.
3072 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
3073 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
3074 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
3075 network devices.
3076 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
3077 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
3078 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
3079 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
3080 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
3081 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
3082 is defined otherwise.
3083 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
3084 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
3085 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
3086 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
3087 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
3088 0-length PPD file was read.
3089 - The image filters were not handling images with
3090 different X and Y resolutions properly.
3091 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
3092 instead of black output like pstoraster.
3093 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
3094 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
3095 PS files lacking DSC comments.
3096 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
3097 documents if they don't have it.
3098 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
3099 printers lacking the @server in the name.
3100 - The configure script didn't work right when only
3101 --prefix was specified.
3102 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
3103 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
3104 after receiving an option that isn't available.
3105 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
3106 color mode until it can be fixed.
3107 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
3108 correctly in all cases.
3109 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
3110 time in banner files.
3111
3112
3113CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
3114
3115 - Documentation updates.
3116 - Configuration script updates.
3117 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
3118 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
3119 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
3120 ppd_file_t structure.
3121 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
3122 before it was used.
3123 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
3124 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
3125 the localhost address.
3126 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
3127 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
3128 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
3129 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
3130 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
3131 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
3132 PDF support.
3133 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
3134 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
3135 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
3136 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
3137 pstoraster.
3138 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
3139 the user.
3140 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
3141 not running.
3142 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
3143 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
3144 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
3145 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
3146 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
3147 setpagedevice operator.
3148 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
3149 the default banner pages.
3150 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
3151 "position" option.
3152 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
3153 support "%s" to insert the server name.
3154 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
3155 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
3156 "printer@server") when possible.
3157 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
3158 with no PageSize attributes.
3159 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
3160 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
3161 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
3162 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
3163 driver under Solaris 2.7.
3164 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
3165 cupsd.
3166 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
3167 locations.
3168 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
3169 variables to specify installation directories as
3170 needed.
3171 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
3172 when the scheduler is started.
3173 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
3174 printer.
3175 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
3176 printer are automatically deleted.
3177 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
3178 time-at-completed attributes in job.
3179 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
3180 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
3181 request.
3182 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
3183 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
3184 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
3185 is "no-hold".
3186 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
3187 responses.
3188 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
3189 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
3190 printer.
3191 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
3192 request fails.
3193 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
3194 printer and class names.
3195 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
3196 received in a POST request.
3197
3198
3199CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
3200
3201 - Documentation updates.
3202 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
3203 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
3204 method.
3205 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
3206 (not defined in HTTP specification)
3207 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
3208 - Missing the job-restart template.
3209 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
3210 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
3211 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
3212 not specified.
3213 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
3214 from getting through.
3215 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
3216 stderr.
3217 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
3218 job name and display string, if supported.
3219 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
3220 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
3221 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
3222 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
3223 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
3224 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
3225 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
3226 UTF-8...
3227 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
3228 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
3229 could cause cupsd to crash.
3230 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
3231 crash.
3232 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
3233 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
3234 "HH:MM:SS".
3235 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
3236 connection structure.
3237 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
3238 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
3239 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
3240 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
3241 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
3242 is a potential security hole.
3243 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
3244 new pstoraster.
3245 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
3246 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
3247 (/dev/usblp#)
3248 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
3249 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
3250 release.
3251
3252
3253CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
3254
3255 - Documentation updates.
3256 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
3257 now compile better under *BSD.)
3258 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
3259 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
3260 tray was selected.
3261 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
3262 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
3263 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
3264 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
3265 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
3266 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
3267 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
3268 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
3269 can handle.
3270 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
3271 cause cupsd to crash.
3272 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
3273 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
3274 mime.types file.
3275 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
3276 of file to be used as a banner.
3277 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
3278 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
3279 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
3280 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
3281 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
3282 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
3283 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
3284 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
3285 the IANA registrations.
3286 - New PostScript banner pages.
3287 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
3288 filter.
3289 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
3290 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
3291 code.
3292 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
3293 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
3294 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
3295 keep track of the total number of pages in the
3296 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
3297 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
3298 accurate width specification.
3299 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
3300 files.
3301 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3302 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
3303 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
3304 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
3305 that support it.
3306 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
3307 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
3308 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
3309 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
3310 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
3311 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
3312 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
3313 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
3314 matching the behavior of the System V command.
3315 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
3316
3317
3318CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
3319
3320 - Documentation updates.
3321 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
3322 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
3323 shell and Bash.
3324 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
3325 code.
3326 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
3327 manufacturer in the PPD.
3328 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
3329 output attributes to be set.
3330 - Added banner page support.
3331 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
3332 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
3333 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
3334 timezone offset.
3335 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
3336 file is generated).
3337 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
3338 printers when they became available.
3339 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
3340 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
3341 printer is only used when it becomes available)
3342 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
3343 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
3344 /usr/share/cups/banners)
3345 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
3346 (override with -f)
3347 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
3348 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
3349 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
3350 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
3351 folks.
3352 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
3353 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
3354 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
3355 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
3356 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
3357 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
3358 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
3359 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
3360 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
3361 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
3362 languages (still only have templates for English)
3363 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
3364 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
3365 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
3366 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
3367 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
3368 needed for some sites)
3369 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
3370 templates.
3371 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
3372 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
3373 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
3374 specific printer.
3375 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
3376 the default printer options in the PPD file.
3377 - The web interface now uses printer/class
3378 authentication for the test page instead of admin
3379 authentication.
3380 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
3381 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
3382 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
3383 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
3384 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
3385 filter.
3386 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
3387 US-ASCII.
3388 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
3389 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
3390 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
3391 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
3392 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
3393 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
3394 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
3395 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
3396 basis without environment variables.
3397 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
3398
3399
3400CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
3401
3402 - Documentation updates.
3403 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
3404 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
3405 printer.
3406 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
3407 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
3408 distribution.
3409 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
3410 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
3411 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
3412 to match the IPP spec.
3413 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
3414 (previously they would be ignored)
3415 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
3416 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
3417 machines.
3418 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
3419 and printer.
3420 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
3421 if it contained a ServerName directive.
3422 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
3423 BrowseRelay directives.
3424 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
3425 still receives information on remote printers.
3426 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
3427 networks)
3428 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
3429 of PPD files.
3430 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
3431 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
3432 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
3433 close their input files.
3434
3435

3454 was being used.
3455 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
