74cfdb8b 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
5
dab1a4d8 6 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
7 license exception.
2a55786c 8 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
9 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 10 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
11 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
12 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
13 group.
f4647930 14 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
15 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 16 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
17 detects that the printer is not connected to the
18 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
19 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
20 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
21 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 22 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
23 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 24 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
25 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 26 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
27 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 28 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
29 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 30 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
31 generated dependencies.
32 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 33 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
34 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
35 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 36 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
37 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
38 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 39 - The backends now read print data using the read()
40 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
41 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 42 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
43 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 44 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
45 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
46 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
47 printers and classes all at once.
48 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
49 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 50 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
51 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
52 value.
1c9c423b 53 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
54 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
55 other options as strings.
f918a565 56 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
57 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
58 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 59 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
60 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
61 option.
74cfdb8b 62 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
63 integers and ranges.
64 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
65 language support for CUPS.
66
67
ee8b7dd3 68CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
69
843779ef 70 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 71 attribute name length or string with language value
72 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 73 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
74 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
75 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 76 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 77 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
78 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 79 - MacOS X fixes.
80 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
81 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
82 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
83 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 84 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
85 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
86 it from waiting for the job to complete when
87 communicating with some IPP implementations that
88 require it.
89
90
d2503e02 91CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
92
28a96fe2 93 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
94 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 95 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
96 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
97 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 98 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
99 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
100 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
101 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
102 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 103 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
104 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
105 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
106 *.convs files.
db911fcb 107 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
108 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
109 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
110 goes away.
7c587866 111 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
112 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 113 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 114 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 115 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 116 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
117 portion of the printer name, and since it would
118 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
119 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 120 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
121 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 122 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
123 connections to improve performance/response time.
124 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
125 from Andrea Suatoni.
126 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
127 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
128 tools support.
129 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
130 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
131 existed.
132 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
133 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 134 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
135 page-set option.
873a6f43 136 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
137 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 138 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
139 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
140 etc.)
bd73c81f 141 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
142 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
143 listing for a printer.
144 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
145 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
146 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 147 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
148 values.
dd5f3453 149 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
150 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 151 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
152 - Updated the Italian message translations.
153 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
154 files.
155 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
156 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 157 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
158 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
159 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 160 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
161 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 162 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
163 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 164 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
165 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 166 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
167 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
168 classification level, if set. This way the original
169 banner settings are preserved when classification
170 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 171 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
172 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 173 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
174 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
175 system default group was not used.
176 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
177 send multiple control files.
178 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
179 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
180 for the "https" scheme.
181 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
182 from the web interface for accounts other than
183 "root".
184 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
185 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
186 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
187 address properly.
188 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
189 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
190 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
191 inside a Location, which is not valid.
192 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
193 information under Linux.
194 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
195 option (if present) in PPD files.
196 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
197 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
198 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
199 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
200 the lppasswd command.
201 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
202 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
203 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
204 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
205 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
206 directory and configuration files are owned by and
207 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
208 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
209 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
210 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
211 restarting cupsd.
212 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
213 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
214 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
215 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
216 for commands on the standard input.
217 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
218 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
219 pointer platforms...
220
221
222CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
223
224 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
225 files.
226 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
227 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
228 destination type for the new destination.
229 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
230 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
231 printer ACLs.
232 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
233 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
234 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
235 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
236 printer-make-and-model attribute.
237
238
239CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
240
241 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
242 files.
243 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
244 files.
245 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
246 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
247 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
248 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
249 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
250 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
251 the device list (lpinfo -m).
252 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
253 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
254 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
255 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
256 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
257 increment. [this caused some versions of the
258 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
259 options exceeded 100...]
260 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
261 was set to "No".
262 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
263 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
264 infinite loop when accepting a request.
265 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
266 functions to make IPP request/response processing
267 faster.
268 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
269 support properly support the "-h" or default
270 server name.
271 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
272 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
273 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
274 support printer instances.
275 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
276 underline formatting.
277 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
278 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
279 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
280 (-1).
281 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
282 from printing to printers in that class.
283 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
284 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
285 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
286 slower systems since more information had to be
287 transferred from server to client.
288 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
289 things like the job title. This had the potential for
290 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
291 machine); bug report from SuSE.
292 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
293 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
294 processing.
295 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
296 to stderr instead of stdout...
297 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
298 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
299 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
300 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
301 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
302 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
303 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
304 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
305 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
306 the Spanish banner files.
307 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
308 language abbreviation to use for all supported
309 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
310 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
311 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
312 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
313 anonymous printing (no username specified).
314 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
315 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
316 information when printing via LPD.
317 - Added many warning and informational messages
318 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
319 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
320 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
321 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
322 provided.
323 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
324 cupsd.conf.
325 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
326 32k.
327 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
328 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
329 possible.
330 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
331 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
332 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
333 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
334 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
335 long values.
336 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
337 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
338 to CGIs.
339 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
340 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
341 time.
342 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
343 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
344 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
345 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
346 result in a blank page being output...
347 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
348 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
349 page comments when printing files directly...)
350 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
351 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
352 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
353 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
354 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
355 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
356 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
357 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
358 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
359 original destination.
360 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
361 requested-attributes attribute in the
362 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
363 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
364 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
365 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
366 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
367 prints.
368
369
370CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
371
372 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
373 makefiles to install files properly.
374
375
376CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
377
378 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
379 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
380 to override the classification of individual jobs.
381 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
382 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
383 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
384 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
385 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
386 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
387 server.
388 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
389 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
390 with some types of flow control.
391 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
392 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
393 server.
394 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
395 lines in the configuration files.
396 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
397 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
398 from the server.
399 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
400 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
401 to the file: pseudo-backend.
402 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
403 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
404 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
405 script. Previously the job's document format was
406 used, which was incorrect.
407 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
408 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
409 "raw" model from the command-line.
410 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
411 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
412 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
413 printers.
414 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
415 Chinese text support compiled into it.
416 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
417 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
418 which caused some confusion... :)
419 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
420 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
421
422
423CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
424
425 - The configure script did not substitute the
426 correct user and group names.
427 - The configure script did not use the full path
428 to the install-sh script when it was used.
429 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
430 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
431 duplexing.
432 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
433 distribution.
434 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
435 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
436 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
437 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
438 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
439 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
440 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
441 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
442 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
443 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
444 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
445 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
446
447
448CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
449
450 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
451 approach for the various tests.
452 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
453 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
454 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
455 options to specify the default user and group for
456 CUPS.
457 - Added AIX shared library support.
458 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
459 parallel ports.
460 - Now use install program or script to install
461 directories, files, and symlinks.
462 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
463 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
464 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
465 print.
466 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
467 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
468 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
469 64-bit boundary.
470 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
471 skip the Digest keyword.
472 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
473 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
474 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
475 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
476 authentication from passwd.md5.
477 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
478 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
479 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
480 PPD files should start much faster now.
481 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
482 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
483 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
484 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
485 times.
486 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
487 code if an error occurred.
488 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
489 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
490 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
491 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
492 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
493 eliminates the buffer start bug.
494 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
495 the receiving device didn't support the copies
496 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
497 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
498 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
499 copies would come out instead of N.
500 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
501 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
502 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
503 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
504 output an even number of pages.
505 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
506 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
507 from being cancelled early.
508 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
509 instances, and options that are not defined by the
510 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
511 options from being used in individual user accounts.
512 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
513 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
514 "ESC i" graphics command.
515 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
516 printers to a local class.
517 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
518 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
519 - The scheduler did not load or save the
520 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
521 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
522 printers that were part of a class.
523 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
524 printer more than once.
525 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
526 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
527 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
528 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
529 account.
530 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
531 against a location of "/printers/name".
532 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
533 upgrades properly.
534 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
535 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
536 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
537 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
538 when using Digest authentication.
539 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
540 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
541 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
542 file.
543 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
544 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
545 server.
546 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
547 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
548 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
549 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
550 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
551 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
552 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
553 not the empty string.
554 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
555 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
556 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
557 unsupported attributes which should normally be
558 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
559 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
560 supported file types into the
561 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
562 clients to not send the local file type (such as
563 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
564 corresponding bad output in some cases.
565 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
566 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
567 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
568 or behave irratically.
569 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
570 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
571 specified.
572 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
573 completed or reported as "pending-held".
574 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
575 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
576 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
577 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
578 retrieve and update the server configuration files
579 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
580 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
581 location or description of the printer.
582 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
583 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
584 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
585 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
586 multiple groups.
587 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
588 Apache.
589 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
590 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
591 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
592 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
593 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
594 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
595 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
596 the page-ranges option from working properly.
597 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
598 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
599 Ghostscript code.
600 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
601 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
602 size instead of percent of page size.)
603 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
604 instead of root.
605 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
606 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
607 size options.
608 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
609 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
610 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
611 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
612 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
613 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
614 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
615 character.
616
617
618CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
619
620 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
621 package for pstoraster.
622 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
623 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
624 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
625 Guiliani for finding this bug!
626 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
627 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
628 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
629 - The IPP backend did not handle the
630 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
631 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
632 to stop on client machines when the server had job
633 history disabled.
634 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
635 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
636 connections initially.
637 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
638 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
639 throughout.
640 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
641 Richard Begg.)
642 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
643 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
644 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
645 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
646 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
647 in the first page instead of the document setup section
648 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
649 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
650 #54489...
651 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
652 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
653 (only affects page-label and Classification
654 options.)
655 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
656 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
657
658
659CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
660
661 - Configuration script changes, including new
662 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
663 documentation and web content according to your
664 favorite version of the FHS.
665 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
666 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
667 test CUPS prior to installation.
668 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
669 insensitive to match Apache.
670 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, LogFormat,
671 Require, UseCanonicalName, Satisfy, <Limit>,
672 <LimitExcept>, LimitRequestSize, and Options
673 directives.
674 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
675 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
676 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
677 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
678 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
679 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
680 might not work with some LPD servers...)
681 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
682 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
683 formats are supported at present.)
684 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
685 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
686 all browsing off.
687 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
688 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
689 document.
690 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
691 to requests without the attributes-charset or
692 attributes-natural-language attributes.
693 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
694 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
695 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
696 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
697 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
698 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
699 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
700 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
701 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
702 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
703 server.
704 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
705 PJL commands from PPD files.
706 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
707 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
708 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
709 cancel all jobs on all printers.
710 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
711 the next/current job in the queue.
712 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
713 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
714 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
715 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
716 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
717 for Sun Raster images.
718 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
719 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
720 function.
721 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
722 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
723 command when printing to USB devices.
724 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
725 the cupsd.conf file.
726 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
727 which could block if insufficient entropy information
728 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
729 /dev/urandom.
730 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
731 httpGetSubField().
732 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
733 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
734 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
735 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
736 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
737 CGI was currently running.
738 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
739 option=true or option=false.
740 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
741 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
742 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
743 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
744 could cause it to crash.
745 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
746 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
747 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
748 attribute when altering a job.
749 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
750 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
751 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
752 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
753 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
754 addresses.
755 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
756 the current classification on each page.
757 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
758 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
759 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
760 for CGI programs when a client connects using
761 encryption.
762 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
763 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
764 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
765 support instances.
766 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
767 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
768 and should never be used in a production environment.
769 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
770 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
771 interface.
772 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
773 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
774 prevent caching of the results.
775 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
776 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
777 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
778 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
779 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
780 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
781 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
782 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
783 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
784 submitted by a user.
785 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
786 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
787 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
788 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
789 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
790 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
791 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
792 embedded spaces.
793 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
794 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
795 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
796 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
797 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
798 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
799 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
800 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
801 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
802 by the GIMP.
803 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
804 bypassed the authentication checks.
805 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
806 to the client and end the current request. This caused
807 a race condition between the client and server for the
808 upgrade to TLS.
809 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
810 the pstops filter.
811 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
812 the custom page size in the raster header.
813 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
814 size to the size of the printed image.
815 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
816 which are required by some printers.
817 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
818 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
819 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
820 DSC).
821 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
822 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
823 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
824 driver.
825 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
826 font list was not terminated by a newline.
827 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
828 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
829 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
830 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
831 workaround using a static variable has been added to
832 address this problem.
833 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
834 that could cause printers to disappear or the
835 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
836 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
837 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
838 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
839 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
840 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
841 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
842 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
843 to manage print jobs.
844 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
845 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
846 of 0 length.
847 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
848 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
849 Guiliani for finding this bug!
850
851
852CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
853
854 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
855 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
856 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
857 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
858 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
859 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
860 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
861 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
862 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
863 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
864 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
865 /dev/ulptN.
866 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
867 classes it was a member of.
868 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
869 implicit status of a class.
870 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
871 from implicit classes.
872 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
873 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
874 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
875 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
876 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
877 of the scheduler.
878 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
879 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
880 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
881 the /#copies variable anymore.
882 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
883 option.
884 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
885 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
886 for a bad-request error)
887 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
888 unimplemented, not invalid.
889 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
890 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
891 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
892 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
893 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
894 (pstoraster).
895 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
896 which are not used.
897 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
898 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
899 cgi_initialize_string().
900 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
901 ippSetCGIVars()
902 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
903 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
904 leaks.
905 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
906 fails.
907 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
908 setuid() calls.
909 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
910 calls.
911 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
912 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
913 bad input.
914 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
915 missing hex digits.
916
917
918CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
919
920 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
921 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
922 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
923 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
924 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
925 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
926 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
927 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
928 corruption on many printers)
929 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
930 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
931 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
932 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
933 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
934 requests.
935 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
936 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
937 was lost.
938 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
939 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
940 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
941 to be used for a socket.
942 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
943 a set were numeric or string types.
944 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
945 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
946 reading *.conf files.
947 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
948 same logic as GET requests.
949 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
950 /index.html to requested directory name.
951 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
952 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
953 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
954 instead of mode 0600.
955 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
956 instead of 0600.
957 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
958 system name in log filenames.
959 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
960 and hex strings.
961
962
963CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
964
965 - Added configure check for getting the correct
966 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
967 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
968
969
970CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
971
972 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
973 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
974 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
975 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
976 filter programs properly.
977 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
978 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
979 versions of GCC.
980 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
981 cancelled in StartJob().
982 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
983 written with restricted permissions.
984 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
985 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
986 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
987 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
988 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
989 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
990 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
991 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
992 syslog file.
993 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
994 and only specifies the document format if it is
995 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
996 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
997 capabilities of CUPS servers.
998 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
999 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1000 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1001 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1002 cancelled.
1003 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1004 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1005 sporatic web interface problems.
1006 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1007 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1008 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1009 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1010 whitespace.
1011 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1012 instead of an integer.
1013 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1014 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1015 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1016 and user-level access control.
1017 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1018 encryption.
1019 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1020 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1021 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1022 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1023 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1024 to the man page.
1025 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1026 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1027 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1028 queued for a printer.
1029 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1030 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1031 reporting.
1032
1033
1034CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1035
1036 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1037 code.
1038 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1039 check in backend/serial.c.
1040 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1041 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1042 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1043 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1044 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1045 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1046 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1047 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1048 anyways)
1049
1050
1051CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1052
1053 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1054 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1055 for run level 5.
1056 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1057 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1058 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1059 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1060 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1061 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1062 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1063
1064
1065CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1066
1067 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1068 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1069 access from the local system.
1070 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1071 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1072 - Documentation updates.
1073 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1074 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1075 RedHat or Mandrake.
1076 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1077 warnings.
1078 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1079 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1080 hex)
1081 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1082 crash the server.
1083 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1084 correct value length for name-with-language and
1085 text-with-language attributes.
1086 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1087 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1088 efficient IPP server performance.
1089 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1090 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1091 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1092 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1093 attack.
1094 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1095 data required when getting the list of printer or
1096 class information. This should improve performance
1097 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1098 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1099 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1100 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1101 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1102 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1103 override the lpoptions default printer.
1104 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1105 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1106 attributes.
1107 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1108 did not check for the correct value for collated
1109 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1110 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1111 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1112 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1113 scale mode 2.
1114 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1115 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1116 that started with a number.
1117 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1118 multiple times in name-with-language and
1119 text-with-language attributes.
1120 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1121 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1122 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1123 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1124 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1125 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1126 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1127 close the spool directory.
1128 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1129 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1130 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1131 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1132 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1133 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1134 larger than the source string; this protects
1135 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1136 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1137 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1138 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1139 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1140 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1141 remote printers.
1142 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1143 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1144 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1145 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1146 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1147 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1148 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1149 3-argument contains() function.
1150 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1151 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1152 database containing 0 printers.
1153 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1154 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1155 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1156 printer was always busy.
1157 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1158 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1159 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1160 jobs.
1161 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1162 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1163 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1164 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1165 57600 and 115200 baud.
1166 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1167 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1168 option in the device URI.
1169 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1170 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1171 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1172 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1173 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1174 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1175 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1176 job attributes to be changed.
1177 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1178 web interface.
1179 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1180 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1181 since they do not map)
1182 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1183 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1184 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1185 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1186 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1187 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1188 child signals while loading devices.
1189 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1190 and classes.
1191 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1192 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1193 driver dithering code.
1194 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1195 after the first active printer.
1196 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1197 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1198 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1199 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1200 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1201 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1202 accepted null values.
1203 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1204 of the backends.
1205 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1206 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1207 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1208 is set in the plot file.
1209 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1210 user name, causing it to always fail.
1211 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1212 under Windows.
1213 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1214 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1215 didn't handle control file job information in any
1216 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1217 a file.
1218 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1219 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1220 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1221 printing on some systems.
1222 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1223 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1224 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1225 it.
1226
1227
1228CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1229
1230 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1231 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1232 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1233 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1234 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1235 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1236 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1237 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1238 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1239 order, which prevented remote printing.
1240 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1241 IPP requests and language information when closing
1242 a client connection.
1243 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1244 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1245 compatibles)
1246 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1247 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1248 on many OS's.
1249 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1250 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1251 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1252 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1253 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1254 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1255 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1256 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1257 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1258 PPD files.
1259 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1260 when the destination printer supported it. This
1261 caused problems when printing text files to other
1262 CUPS servers.
1263 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1264 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1265 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1266 the dates.)
1267 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1268 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1269 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1270 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1271 be clipped.
1272
1273
1274CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1275
1276 - Makefile fixes.
1277 - RPM spec file changes.
1278 - Documentation updates.
1279 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1280 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1281 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1282 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1283 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1284 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1285 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1286 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1287 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1288 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1289 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1290 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1291 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1292 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1293 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1294 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1295 specified.
1296 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1297 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1298 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1299 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1300 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1301 cupsd.conf.
1302 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1303 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1304 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1305 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1306 filter mode 'l'.
1307 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1308 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1309 defaults for all print queues.
1310 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1311 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1312 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1313 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1314 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1315 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1316 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1317 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1318 printer was defined with the same name.
1319 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1320 remove options for a printer or instance.
1321 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1322 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1323 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1324 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1325 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1326 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1327 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1328 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1329 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1330 job-printer-uri attribute.
1331 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1332 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1333 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1334 remote printers.
1335 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1336 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1337 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1338 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1339 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1340 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1341 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1342 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1343 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1344 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1345 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1346 printer set using lpoptions.
1347 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1348 list the printer-specific options and their current
1349 settings.
1350 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1351 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1352 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1353 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1354 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1355 text printing.
1356 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1357 instances.
1358 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1359 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1360 limit.
1361 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1362 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1363 new client connections.
1364 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1365 required pagedevice parameters.
1366 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1367 under Linux.
1368 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1369 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1370 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1371 would stop processing.
1372 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1373 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1374 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1375 that was currently printing a job.
1376 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1377 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1378 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1379 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1380 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1381 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1382 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1383 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1384 option values separated by commas.
1385 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1386 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1387 and free bytes once a minute)
1388 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1389 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1390 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1391 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1392 printers.
1393 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1394 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1395 requests from that address to the server name.
1396 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1397 server.domain.com to localhost.
1398 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1399 the previous device and driver settings (except
1400 for serial ports.)
1401 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1402 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1403 after a job is completed when job file history is
1404 turned off.
1405 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1406 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1407 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1408 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1409 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1410 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1411 for "lpstat -v" output.
1412 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1413 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1414 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1415 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1416 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1417 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1418 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1419 by itself without quoting.
1420
1421
1422CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1423
1424 - Makefile/configure fixes
1425 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1426 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1427 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1428 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1429 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1430 number generator for certificates.
1431 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1432 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1433 the filter user, typically "lp".
1434 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1435 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1436 user.
1437 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1438 function.
1439 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1440 standard input.
1441 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1442 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1443 page header as needed.
1444 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1445 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1446 immediately when last-document was true.
1447 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1448 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1449 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1450 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1451 and many PS printers.
1452 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1453 filters.
1454 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1455 debugging problems.
1456 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1457 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1458 calling problem...)
1459 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1460 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1461 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1462 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1463 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1464 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1465 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1466 by default.
1467 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1468 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1469 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1470 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1471 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1472 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1473 CUPS software.
1474
1475
1476CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1477
1478 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1479 old PDF filter files.
1480 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1481 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1482 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1483 network devices.
1484 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1485 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1486 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1487 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1488 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1489 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1490 is defined otherwise.
1491 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1492 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1493 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1494 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1495 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1496 0-length PPD file was read.
1497 - The image filters were not handling images with
1498 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1499 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1500 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1501 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1502 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1503 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1504 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1505 documents if they don't have it.
1506 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1507 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1508 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1509 --prefix was specified.
1510 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1511 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1512 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1513 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1514 color mode until it can be fixed.
1515 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1516 correctly in all cases.
1517 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1518 time in banner files.
1519
1520
1521CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1522
1523 - Documentation updates.
1524 - Configuration script updates.
1525 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1526 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1527 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1528 ppd_file_t structure.
1529 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1530 before it was used.
1531 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1532 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1533 the localhost address.
1534 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1535 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1536 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1537 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1538 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1539 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1540 PDF support.
1541 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1542 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1543 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1544 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1545 pstoraster.
1546 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1547 the user.
1548 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1549 not running.
1550 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1551 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1552 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1553 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1554 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1555 setpagedevice operator.
1556 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1557 the default banner pages.
1558 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1559 "position" option.
1560 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1561 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1562 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1563 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1564 "printer@server") when possible.
1565 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1566 with no PageSize attributes.
1567 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1568 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1569 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1570 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1571 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1572 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1573 cupsd.
1574 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1575 locations.
1576 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1577 variables to specify installation directories as
1578 needed.
1579 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1580 when the scheduler is started.
1581 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1582 printer.
1583 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1584 printer are automatically deleted.
1585 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1586 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1587 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1588 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1589 request.
1590 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1591 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1592 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1593 is "no-hold".
1594 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1595 responses.
1596 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1597 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1598 printer.
1599 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1600 request fails.
1601 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1602 printer and class names.
1603 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1604 received in a POST request.
1605
1606
1607CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1608
1609 - Documentation updates.
1610 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1611 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1612 method.
1613 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1614 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1615 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1616 - Missing the job-restart template.
1617 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1618 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1619 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1620 not specified.
1621 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1622 from getting through.
1623 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1624 stderr.
1625 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1626 job name and display string, if supported.
1627 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1628 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1629 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1630 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1631 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1632 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1633 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1634 UTF-8...
1635 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1636 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1637 could cause cupsd to crash.
1638 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1639 crash.
1640 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1641 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1642 "HH:MM:SS".
1643 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1644 connection structure.
1645 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1646 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1647 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1648 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1649 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1650 is a potential security hole.
1651 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1652 new pstoraster.
1653 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1654 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1655 (/dev/usblp#)
1656 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1657 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1658 release.
1659
1660
1661CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1662
1663 - Documentation updates.
1664 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1665 now compile better under *BSD.)
1666 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1667 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1668 tray was selected.
1669 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1670 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1671 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1672 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1673 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1674 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1675 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1676 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1677 can handle.
1678 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1679 cause cupsd to crash.
1680 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1681 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1682 mime.types file.
1683 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1684 of file to be used as a banner.
1685 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1686 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1687 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1688 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1689 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1690 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1691 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1692 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1693 the IANA registrations.
1694 - New PostScript banner pages.
1695 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1696 filter.
1697 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1698 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1699 code.
1700 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1701 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1702 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1703 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1704 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1705 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1706 accurate width specification.
1707 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1708 files.
1709 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1710 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1711 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1712 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1713 that support it.
1714 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1715 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1716 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1717 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1718 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1719 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1720 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1721 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1722 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1723 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1724
1725
1726CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1727
1728 - Documentation updates.
1729 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1730 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1731 shell and Bash.
1732 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1733 code.
1734 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1735 manufacturer in the PPD.
1736 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1737 output attributes to be set.
1738 - Added banner page support.
1739 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1740 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1741 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1742 timezone offset.
1743 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1744 file is generated).
1745 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1746 printers when they became available.
1747 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1748 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1749 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1750 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1751 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1752 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1753 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1754 (override with -f)
1755 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1756 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1757 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1758 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1759 folks.
1760 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1761 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1762 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1763 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1764 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1765 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1766 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1767 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1768 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1769 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1770 languages (still only have templates for English)
1771 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1772 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1773 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1774 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1775 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1776 needed for some sites)
1777 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1778 templates.
1779 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1780 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1781 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1782 specific printer.
1783 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1784 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1785 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1786 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1787 authentication.
1788 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1789 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1790 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1791 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1792 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1793 filter.
1794 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1795 US-ASCII.
1796 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1797 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1798 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1799 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1800 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1801 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1802 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1803 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1804 basis without environment variables.
1805 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1806
1807
1808CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1809
1810 - Documentation updates.
1811 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1812 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1813 printer.
1814 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1815 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1816 distribution.
1817 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1818 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1819 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1820 to match the IPP spec.
1821 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1822 (previously they would be ignored)
1823 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1824 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1825 machines.
1826 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1827 and printer.
1828 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1829 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1830 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1831 BrowseRelay directives.
1832 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1833 still receives information on remote printers.
1834 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1835 networks)
1836 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1837 of PPD files.
1838 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1839 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1840 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
1841 close their input files.

1861 - The IPP backend did not always detect when the "raw" option
1862 was being used.
1863 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
