0ab349a5 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20
5
d16f87bc 6 - The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
7 name provided an explicit character set name (STR
8 #354)
66f81e44 9 - The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
10 cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
11 localization data (STR #354)

bdc1493a 19CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
294c916e 20
b59d5057 21 - The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
22 file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
23 enabled (STR #259)
bdc1493a 24 - The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
25 were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
b59d5057 26 - The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
27 job could not be canceled (STR #340)
294c916e 28
29
0669cbc7 30CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
31
32 - The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
33 in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
34 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
35 early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
36 - The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
37 names, which caused some problems with the generated
38 URLs (STR #320)
39 - CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
40 option (STR #331)
41
42
2d417cb3 43CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
5edf6841 44

49 message when the "-u" option was provided with no
50 arguments (STR #313)
7e0b0c8f 51 - The web admin interface did not display an error
52 message if the PPD file could not be loaded (STR #308)
5edf6841 53 - The ppdEmit() functions did not use the correct

55 #292)
56
57
4731c02f 58CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
225b3683 59
6d8c10c5 60 - The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
61 for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
62 printers that returned status info but were not ready
63 for more print data (STR #287)
fa84bfc7 64 - The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
65 (index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
66 - The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
67 with "GET" variables (STR #268)
f9f084a1 68 - Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
69 #289)
4731c02f 70 - Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (STR #259)
e02e59e4 71 - Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
72 10.3 (STR #270)

aa7b8dba 74 - The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
75 did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
76 counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
77 very difficult (STR #277)
78 - Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
79 scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
80 the filter group (STR #283)
39c45901 81 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
82 some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
83 rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
225b3683 84 - The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
85 attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
86 - The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
87 the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)
88 - The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
89 language localization for a request; this caused extra
90 disk IO for every request (STR #271)
91 - The scheduler did not support requests with more than
92 one language specified (STR #267)
93
94
3fc87a99 95CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
96
a782f61f 97 - The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
98 restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
99 and pending requests to be processed (STR #226)
1e2ff429 100 - The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
101 is 64 bits (STR #262)
0cd4970e 102 - Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
103 Hat (STR #253)
104 - The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
105 the standard constants when reporting printer status
106 bits on Linux (STR #254)
3ec5b662 107 - Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
108 cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
109 to the CUPS API (STR #112)
c50b7b12 110 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
111 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
112 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
113 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
114 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
115 URI (STR #247)
116 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
117 (STR #249)
118 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
119 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 120 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
121 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 122 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
123 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 124 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
125 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 126 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
127 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
128 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 129 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
130 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 131 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
132 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
133 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 134 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
135 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 136 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
137 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
138 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 139 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
140 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
141 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
142 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 143 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
144 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
145 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
146 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
147 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 148 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
149 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 150 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
151 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
152 (STR #209)
0c676a75 153 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
154 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 155 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
156 the user already had specified the proper orientation
157 (STR #207)
e5734f04 158 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 159 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
160 #193)
0372885f 161 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
162 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
163 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 164 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
165 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
166 programs rather than the port that the browser
167 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 168 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
169 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
170 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
171 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
172 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
173 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
174 files define the job-priority and
175 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 176 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
177 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 178 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
179 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
180 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
181 caused problems with some implementations of the
182 standard C library. (STR #159)
183 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
184 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 185 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
186 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 187 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
188 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
189 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
190 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 191 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
192 strings if the description string is not available
193 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 194 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
195 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
196 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
197 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
198 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 199 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
200 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
201 #147)
20bde6fb 202 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
203 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
204 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 205 - Printers with special characters in their names were
206 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 207 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
208 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
209 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
210 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
211 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 212 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
213 files did not get installed (STR #148)
214 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
215 without shared libraries (STR #149)
216 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
217 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 218 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
219 capability bit (STR #144)
220 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
221 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 222 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
223 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
224 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 225 #139)
226 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
227 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 228 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
229 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 230 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
231 command after the PJL language escape to work around
232 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
233 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
234 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 235 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 236 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 237
238
8dc4af74 239CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
240
a17e6548 241 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
242 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
243 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 244 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
245 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
246 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
247 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 248 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
249 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 250 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
251 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
252 #117)
253 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 254 - The configure script didn't specify the static
255 libraries properly when configuring with the
256 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 257 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
258 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
259 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 260 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
261 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 262 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
263
264
af57319f 265CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 266
1ed20df6 267 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
268 classes would get double banner pages for each
269 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 270 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
271 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 272 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
273 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
274 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 275 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
276 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
277 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
278 #70)
92498b68 279 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
280 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 281 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 282 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
283 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
284 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 285 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
286 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
287 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
288 annoying error message (STR #45)
289
290
2e6bce36 291CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 292
fb766c9e 293 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
294 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
295 #59)
d8b9e5fa 296 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
297 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 298 - The German web interface templates did not use the
299 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 300 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
301 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 302 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
303 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
304 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
305
306
e309e07a 307CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
308
b07e0cc2 309 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
310 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
311 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
312 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
313 user - STR #48)
b01791df 314 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
315 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 316 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
317 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 318 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
319 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
320 was handled (STR #47)
321 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
322 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
323 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 324 - The scheduler did not put the
325 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
326 attributes group.
327 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
328 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 329 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 330 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
331 and #39)
254aa207 332 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
333 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
334 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
335 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
336 requirements (STR #33)
337 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
338 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
339 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
340 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 341 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
342 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
343 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
344 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 345 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
346 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
347 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 348 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 349 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 350 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
351 Jacke)
352 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
353 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 354
355
b696f4e3 356CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
357
ac098b06 358 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
359 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
360 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
361 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
362 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 363 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
364 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 365 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 366 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
367 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
368 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 369 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
370 not work.
c8a55d2c 371 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
372 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
373 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
374 was not added to the collection value.
375 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
376 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 377 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
378 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
379 directives.
380 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
381 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
382 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 383 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
384 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 385 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
386 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
387 #13)
b696f4e3 388 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
389 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
390 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 391 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 392 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
393 message files such as those used for the job history
394 in /var/spool/cups.
395
396
fc7f6f69 397CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 398
265fb4a4 399 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
400 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 401 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
402 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
403 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
404 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
405 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
406 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 407 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 408 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
409 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 410 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
411 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
412 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 413 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
414 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 415 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
416 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
417 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
418 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 419 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
420 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
421 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
422 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
423 your locale.
5073e3f8 424 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
425 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
426 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 427 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
428 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 429 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
430 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
431 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
432 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
433 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 434 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
435 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 436 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
437 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
438 respectively) and has some additional changes to
439 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
440 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 441 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 442 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
443 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 444 - Added support for STATE: messages
445 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
446 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 447 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
448 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
449 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
450 root.
4d4fb342 451 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
452 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 453 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 454 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
455 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
456 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
457 information.
d40085f1 458 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
459 field.
dd9e85de 460 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
461 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
462 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
463 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
464 attribute to control whether job history data is
465 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
466 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
467 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 468 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
469 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 470 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
471 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
472 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 473 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
474 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
475 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
476 Kubla]
3f2fa036 477 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
478 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
479 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
480 sent. It now only references attributes that change
481 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
482 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
483 2k.
484 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
485 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
486 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 487 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
488 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 489 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
490 printer was available.
491 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
492 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
493 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 494 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
495 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 496 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
497 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
498 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 499 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
500 the image on the page when printing in landscape
501 orientation.
b3291c5a 502 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
503 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
504 and ManualFeed commands.
505 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
506 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 507 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
508 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
509 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
510 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
511 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 512 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
513 list of available devices, when it should have been
514 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 515 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
516 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 517 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
518 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 519 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
520 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
521 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
522 up...
2e32fcdb 523 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
524 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
525 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
526 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 527 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
528 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
529 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
530 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 531 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
532 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 533 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
534 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
535 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 536 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
537 variable under MacOS X.
538 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
539 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 540 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
541 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 542 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
543 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
544 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 545 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
546 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 547 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
548 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
549 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 550 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 551 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
552 sequence.
49d1718a 553 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
554 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 555 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 556 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
557 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 558 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
559 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 560 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
561 Apple.
8bd0441f 562 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
563 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 564 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
565 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
566 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
567 option.
568 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
569 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 570 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
571 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
572 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 573 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
574 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
575 via IPP.
edd85093 576 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
577 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 578 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
579 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 580 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
581 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
582 means that printers that don't report their serial
583 numbers in the device ID string will not be
584 individually selectable.
d0598693 585 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
586 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 587 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 588 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
589 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
590 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
591 the same.
592 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
593 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
594 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 595 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
596 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 597 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
598 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 599 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
600 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
601 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 602 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
603 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 604 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
605 an attribute definition.
de218675 606 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
607 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
608 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
609 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 610 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
611 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
612 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
613 situations. The warning message is now written no more
614 than once per minute.
67fa1315 615 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
616 PS RIPs.
320115a7 617 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
618 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
619 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 620 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
621 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
622 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
623 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
624 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
625 program or man page files.
626
627
759f5023 628CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
629
e38a7cef 630 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
631 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
632 write a job control file.
f63a430f 633 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
634 directive to control whether new printers can be added
635 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
636 default is to not allow printers with these device
637 URIs.
767ae392 638 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
639 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
640 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 641 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
642 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
643 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
644 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 645 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
646 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 647 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
648 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
649 attacks.
901b295d 650 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
651 interface.
652 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
653 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
654 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 655 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
656 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
657 the scheduler did not close the connections
658 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 659 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
660 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 661 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
662 back to its original at the end of a job; this
663 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
664 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 665 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
666 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 667 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
668 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
669 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
670 PPD files.
dcc2e394 671 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
672 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
673 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 674 - The web interface did not always report the correct
675 error message.
759f5023 676 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
677 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
678 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
679 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
680 process from returning.
681
682
3cc7bca4 683CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
684
5c826e17 685 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
686 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 687 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 688 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
689 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 690 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
691 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
692 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
693 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
694 ticket data.
695 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
696 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
697 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 698 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
699 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
700 group membership still requires the account name to be
701 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 702 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
703 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
704 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
705 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 706 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
707 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 708 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
709 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
710 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
711 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
712 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 713 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
714 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 715 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
716 caused by servers sending the status line and
717 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 718 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
719 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
720 empty.
78143282 721 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
722 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 723 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
724 Windows.
f33d1239 725 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
726 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 727 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
728 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
729 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 730 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
731 (interrupted system call) errors.
732 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
733 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
734 caused by the child signal handler.
735 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
736 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
737 error.
e1e31a38 738 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
739 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 740 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
741 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 742 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
743 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
744 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 745 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
746 properly localized time string.
549d1888 747 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
748 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
749 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 750 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
751 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 752 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
753 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
754 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
755 scheduler.
756 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
757 scheduler so that the printer object information is
758 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
759 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
760 queues.
854d3bb2 761 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
762 filename.
137d4d44 763 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
764 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
765 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
766 automatic form feed.
767 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 768 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
769 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 770 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
771 MacOS X.
772 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
773 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
774 has been removed.
775
776
06415a96 777CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
778
727e6d14 779 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
780 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
781 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
782 printer.
783 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
784 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 785 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
786 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
787 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 788 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
789 you can display completed jobs as well as
790 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 791 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
792 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
793 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 794 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
795 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
796 occurs.
db628f45 797 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
798 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 799 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
800 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
801 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
802 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
803 the page number.
da312e94 804 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
805 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 806 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 807 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
808 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
809 banner pages.
25037b2b 810 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
811 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
812 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 813 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 814 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
815 reliably.
a9219725 816 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
817 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
818 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
819 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 820 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
821 connection when sending an error that requires the
822 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
823 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
824 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 825 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
826 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
827 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
828 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 829 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
830 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
831 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
832 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 833 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
834 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 835 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
836 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 837 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
838 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 839 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
840 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 841 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
842 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
843 defines a circular filter rule.
844 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
845 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 846 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
847 files.
5ca43bfd 848 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
849 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 850 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
851 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
852 compatibility).
879062a9 853 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 854 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
855 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
856 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 857 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
858 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 859 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
860 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
861 shutdown.
098f80c5 862 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
863 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
864 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 865 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
866 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
867 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
868 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 869 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
870 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
871 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 872 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
873 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 874 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
875 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
876 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
877 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 878 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
879 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
880 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 881 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
882 connect to the remote server name in a
883 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
884 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
885 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
886 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 887 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
888 the program would try to print the option letter that
889 caused the error using the wrong index into the
890 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 891 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
892 attributes from printer options in
893 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 894 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
895 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 896 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 897 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
898 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 899 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
900 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
901 characters.
902 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
903 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
904 the language mode.
905 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
906 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
907 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
908 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
909 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 910 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 911 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
912 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 913 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
914 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 915 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
916 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
917 driver.
997cf8b0 918 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
919 the next available printer rather than waiting until
920 that printer is available.
921 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
922 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
923 printer class instead of a normal printer.
924 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
925 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
926 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 927 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
928 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
929 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
930 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 931 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
932 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
933 to accept connections.
934 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
935 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
936 and current directory.
937 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
938 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
939 into the file type database would no longer be valid
940 for existing jobs.
941 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
942 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
943 actually provided.
944 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 945 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
946 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 947 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
948 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 949 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
950 case-insensitive.
951 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
952 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 953 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
954 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
955 Solaris.
b91c8a76 956 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
957 printing banner pages.
4f759211 958 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 959 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
960 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 961 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
962 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 963 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
964 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
965 file.
8ce19460 966 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
967 description from member printers.
fabb006b 968 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
969 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 970 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 971 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
972 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 973 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
974 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 975 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
976 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
977 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 978 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
979 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
980 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
981 up...
19e7b382 982 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
983 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
984 authentication didn't work for administration
985 operations.
103abc03 986 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
987 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 988 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
989 interface to "localhost".
990 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
991 response to queue state commands, but those commands
992 only return textual data.
993
994
7680b71d 995CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
996
997 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
998 string function header, which is required on systems
999 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
1000 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
1001 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
1002 have to.
1003
1004
74cfdb8b 1005CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
1006
dab1a4d8 1007 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS

1010 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 1011 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
1012 option if none is provided to automatically select the
1013 correct tray.
ed6078a4 1014 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
1015 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
1016 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
1017 options.
1018 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
1019 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
1020 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 1021 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
1022 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
1023 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
1024 queues) on the server.
1025 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
1026 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
1027 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
1028 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 1029 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
1030 set definitions.
a319615f 1031 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
1032 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 1033 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
1034 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 1035 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 1036 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 1037 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
1038 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 1039 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
1040 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 1041 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
1042 have a small comment header explaining where the file
1043 comes from...
6df23e27 1044 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 1045 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 1046 number-up-layout options.
415199da 1047 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
1048 using the default printer.
1049 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
1050 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
1051 to allow for longer printer names.
1052 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
1053 history data.
1054 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
1055 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
1056 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
1057 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 1058 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
1059 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
1060 caused problems on some installations that would
1061 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
1062 level 3.
1063 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 1064 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
1065 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 1066 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
1067 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 1068 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
1069 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 1070 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 1071 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
1072 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
1073 (cupsd).
a4e23897 1074 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
1075 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
1076 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
1077 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 1078 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
1079 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
1080 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
1081 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
1082 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
1083 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
1084 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
1085 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
1086 non-ISOLatin1 text.
1087 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
1088 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
1089 of glyphs.
576b82ca 1090 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
1091 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
1092 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
1093 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 1094 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
1095 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
1096 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
1097 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
1098 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 1099 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
1100 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 1101 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
1102 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 1103 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1104 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1105 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1106 classes.
7200e26c 1107 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1108 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1109 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1110 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1111 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1112 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1113 control and browsing based on the current interface
1114 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1115 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1116 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1117 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1118 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1119 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1120 group.
f4647930 1121 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1122 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1123 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1124 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1125 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1126 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1127 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1128 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1129 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1130 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1131 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1132 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1133 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1134 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1135 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1136 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1137 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1138 generated dependencies.
1139 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1140 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1141 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1142 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1143 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1144 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1145 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1146 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1147 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1148 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1149 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1150 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1151 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1152 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1153 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1154 printers and classes all at once.
1155 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1156 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1157 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1158 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1159 value.
1c9c423b 1160 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1161 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1162 other options as strings.
f918a565 1163 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1164 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1165 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1166 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1167 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1168 option.
74cfdb8b 1169 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1170 integers and ranges.
1171 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1172 language support for CUPS.
1173
1174
ee8b7dd3 1175CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1176
843779ef 1177 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1178 attribute name length or string with language value
1179 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1180 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1181 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1182 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1183 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1184 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1185 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1186 - MacOS X fixes.
1187 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1188 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1189 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1190 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1191 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1192 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1193 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1194 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1195 require it.
1196
1197
d2503e02 1198CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1199
28a96fe2 1200 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1201 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1202 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1203 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1204 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1205 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1206 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1207 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1208 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1209 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1210 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1211 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1212 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1213 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1214 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1215 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1216 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1217 goes away.
7c587866 1218 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1219 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1220 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1221 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1222 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1223 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1224 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1225 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1226 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1227 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1228 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1229 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1230 connections to improve performance/response time.
1231 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1232 from Andrea Suatoni.
1233 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1234 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1235 tools support.
1236 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1237 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1238 existed.
1239 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1240 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1241 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1242 page-set option.
873a6f43 1243 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1244 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1245 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1246 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1247 etc.)
bd73c81f 1248 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1249 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1250 listing for a printer.
1251 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1252 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1253 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1254 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1255 values.
dd5f3453 1256 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1257 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1258 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1259 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1260 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1261 files.
1262 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1263 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1264 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1265 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1266 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1267 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1268 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1269 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1270 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1271 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1272 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1273 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1274 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1275 classification level, if set. This way the original
1276 banner settings are preserved when classification
1277 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1278 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1279 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1280 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1281 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1282 system default group was not used.
1283 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1284 send multiple control files.
1285 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1286 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1287 for the "https" scheme.
1288 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1289 from the web interface for accounts other than
1290 "root".
1291 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1292 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1293 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1294 address properly.
1295 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1296 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1297 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1298 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1299 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1300 information under Linux.
1301 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1302 option (if present) in PPD files.
1303 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1304 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1305 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1306 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1307 the lppasswd command.
1308 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1309 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1310 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1311 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1312 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1313 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1314 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1315 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1316 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1317 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1318 restarting cupsd.
1319 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1320 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1321 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1322 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1323 for commands on the standard input.
1324 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1325 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1326 pointer platforms...
1327
1328
1329CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1330
1331 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1332 files.
1333 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1334 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1335 destination type for the new destination.
1336 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1337 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1338 printer ACLs.
1339 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1340 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1341 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1342 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1343 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1344
1345
1346CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1347
1348 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1349 files.
1350 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1351 files.
1352 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1353 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1354 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1355 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1356 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1357 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1358 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1359 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1360 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1361 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1362 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1363 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1364 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1365 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1366 options exceeded 100...]
1367 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1368 was set to "No".
1369 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1370 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1371 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1372 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1373 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1374 faster.
1375 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1376 support properly support the "-h" or default
1377 server name.
1378 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1379 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1380 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1381 support printer instances.
1382 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1383 underline formatting.
1384 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1385 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1386 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1387 (-1).
1388 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1389 from printing to printers in that class.
1390 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1391 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1392 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1393 slower systems since more information had to be
1394 transferred from server to client.
1395 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1396 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1397 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1398 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1399 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1400 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1401 processing.
1402 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1403 to stderr instead of stdout...
1404 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1405 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1406 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1407 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1408 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1409 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1410 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1411 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1412 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1413 the Spanish banner files.
1414 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1415 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1416 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1417 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1418 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1419 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1420 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1421 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1422 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1423 information when printing via LPD.
1424 - Added many warning and informational messages
1425 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1426 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1427 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1428 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1429 provided.
1430 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1431 cupsd.conf.
1432 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1433 32k.
1434 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1435 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1436 possible.
1437 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1438 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1439 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1440 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1441 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1442 long values.
1443 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1444 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1445 to CGIs.
1446 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1447 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1448 time.
1449 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1450 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1451 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1452 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1453 result in a blank page being output...
1454 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1455 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1456 page comments when printing files directly...)
1457 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1458 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1459 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1460 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1461 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1462 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1463 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1464 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1465 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1466 original destination.
1467 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1468 requested-attributes attribute in the
1469 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1470 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1471 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1472 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1473 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1474 prints.
1475
1476
1477CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1478
1479 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1480 makefiles to install files properly.
1481
1482
1483CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1484
1485 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1486 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1487 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1488 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1489 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1490 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1491 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1492 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1493 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1494 server.
1495 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1496 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1497 with some types of flow control.
1498 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1499 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1500 server.
1501 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1502 lines in the configuration files.
1503 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1504 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1505 from the server.
1506 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1507 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1508 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1509 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1510 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1511 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1512 script. Previously the job's document format was
1513 used, which was incorrect.
1514 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1515 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1516 "raw" model from the command-line.
1517 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1518 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1519 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1520 printers.
1521 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1522 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1523 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1524 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1525 which caused some confusion... :)
1526 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1527 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1528
1529
1530CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1531
1532 - The configure script did not substitute the
1533 correct user and group names.
1534 - The configure script did not use the full path
1535 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1536 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1537 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1538 duplexing.
1539 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1540 distribution.
1541 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1542 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1543 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1544 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1545 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1546 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1547 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1548 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1549 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1550 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1551 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1552 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1553
1554
1555CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1556
1557 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1558 approach for the various tests.
1559 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1560 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1561 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1562 options to specify the default user and group for
1563 CUPS.
1564 - Added AIX shared library support.
1565 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1566 parallel ports.
1567 - Now use install program or script to install
1568 directories, files, and symlinks.
1569 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1570 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1571 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1572 print.
1573 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1574 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1575 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1576 64-bit boundary.
1577 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1578 skip the Digest keyword.
1579 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1580 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1581 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1582 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1583 authentication from passwd.md5.
1584 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1585 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1586 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1587 PPD files should start much faster now.
1588 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1589 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1590 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1591 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1592 times.
1593 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1594 code if an error occurred.
1595 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1596 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1597 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1598 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1599 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1600 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1601 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1602 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1603 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1604 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1605 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1606 copies would come out instead of N.
1607 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1608 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1609 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1610 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1611 output an even number of pages.
1612 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1613 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1614 from being cancelled early.
1615 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1616 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1617 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1618 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1619 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1620 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1621 "ESC i" graphics command.
1622 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1623 printers to a local class.
1624 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1625 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1626 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1627 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1628 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1629 printers that were part of a class.
1630 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1631 printer more than once.
1632 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1633 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1634 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1635 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1636 account.
1637 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1638 against a location of "/printers/name".
1639 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1640 upgrades properly.
1641 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1642 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1643 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1644 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1645 when using Digest authentication.
1646 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1647 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1648 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1649 file.
1650 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1651 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1652 server.
1653 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1654 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1655 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1656 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1657 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1658 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1659 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1660 not the empty string.
1661 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1662 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1663 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1664 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1665 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1666 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1667 supported file types into the
1668 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1669 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1670 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1671 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1672 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1673 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1674 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1675 or behave irratically.
1676 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1677 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1678 specified.
1679 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1680 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1681 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1682 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1683 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1684 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1685 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1686 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1687 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1688 location or description of the printer.
1689 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1690 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1691 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1692 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1693 multiple groups.
1694 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1695 Apache.
1696 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1697 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1698 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1699 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1700 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1701 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1702 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1703 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1704 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1705 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1706 Ghostscript code.
1707 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1708 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1709 size instead of percent of page size.)
1710 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1711 instead of root.
1712 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1713 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1714 size options.
1715 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1716 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1717 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1718 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1719 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1720 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1721 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1722 character.
1723
1724
1725CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1726
1727 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1728 package for pstoraster.
1729 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1730 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1731 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1732 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1733 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1734 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1735 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1736 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1737 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1738 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1739 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1740 history disabled.
1741 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1742 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1743 connections initially.
1744 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1745 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1746 throughout.
1747 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1748 Richard Begg.)
1749 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1750 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1751 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1752 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1753 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1754 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1755 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1756 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1757 #54489...
1758 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1759 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1760 (only affects page-label and Classification
1761 options.)
1762 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1763 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1764
1765
1766CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1767
1768 - Configuration script changes, including new
1769 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1770 documentation and web content according to your
1771 favorite version of the FHS.
1772 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1773 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1774 test CUPS prior to installation.
1775 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1776 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1777 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1778 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1779 directives.
1780 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1781 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1782 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1783 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1784 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1785 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1786 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1787 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1788 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1789 formats are supported at present.)
1790 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1791 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1792 all browsing off.
1793 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1794 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1795 document.
1796 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1797 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1798 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1799 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1800 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1801 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1802 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1803 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1804 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1805 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1806 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1807 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1808 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1809 server.
1810 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1811 PJL commands from PPD files.
1812 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1813 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1814 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1815 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1816 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1817 the next/current job in the queue.
1818 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1819 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1820 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1821 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1822 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1823 for Sun Raster images.
1824 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1825 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1826 function.
1827 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1828 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1829 command when printing to USB devices.
1830 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1831 the cupsd.conf file.
1832 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1833 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1834 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1835 /dev/urandom.
1836 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1837 httpGetSubField().
1838 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1839 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1840 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1841 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1842 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1843 CGI was currently running.
1844 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1845 option=true or option=false.
1846 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1847 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1848 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1849 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1850 could cause it to crash.
1851 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1852 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1853 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1854 attribute when altering a job.
1855 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1856 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1857 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1858 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1859 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1860 addresses.
1861 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1862 the current classification on each page.
1863 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1864 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1865 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1866 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1867 encryption.
1868 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1869 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1870 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1871 support instances.
1872 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1873 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1874 and should never be used in a production environment.
1875 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1876 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1877 interface.
1878 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1879 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1880 prevent caching of the results.
1881 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1882 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1883 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1884 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1885 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1886 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1887 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1888 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1889 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1890 submitted by a user.
1891 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1892 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1893 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1894 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1895 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1896 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1897 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1898 embedded spaces.
1899 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1900 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1901 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1902 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1903 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1904 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1905 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1906 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1907 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1908 by the GIMP.
1909 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1910 bypassed the authentication checks.
1911 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1912 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1913 a race condition between the client and server for the
1914 upgrade to TLS.
1915 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1916 the pstops filter.
1917 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1918 the custom page size in the raster header.
1919 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1920 size to the size of the printed image.
1921 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1922 which are required by some printers.
1923 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1924 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1925 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1926 DSC).
1927 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1928 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1929 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1930 driver.
1931 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1932 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1933 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1934 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1935 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1936 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1937 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1938 address this problem.
1939 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1940 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1941 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1942 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1943 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1944 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1945 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1946 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1947 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1948 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1949 to manage print jobs.
1950 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1951 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1952 of 0 length.
1953 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1954 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1955 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1956
1957
1958CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1959
1960 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1961 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1962 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1963 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1964 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1965 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1966 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1967 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1968 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1969 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1970 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1971 /dev/ulptN.
1972 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1973 classes it was a member of.
1974 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1975 implicit status of a class.
1976 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1977 from implicit classes.
1978 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1979 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1980 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1981 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1982 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1983 of the scheduler.
1984 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1985 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1986 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1987 the /#copies variable anymore.
1988 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1989 option.
1990 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1991 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1992 for a bad-request error)
1993 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1994 unimplemented, not invalid.
1995 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1996 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1997 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1998 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1999 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
2000 (pstoraster).
2001 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
2002 which are not used.
2003 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
2004 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2005 cgi_initialize_string().
2006 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
2007 ippSetCGIVars()
2008 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
2009 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
2010 leaks.
2011 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
2012 fails.
2013 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
2014 setuid() calls.
2015 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
2016 calls.
2017 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
2018 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
2019 bad input.
2020 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
2021 missing hex digits.
2022
2023
2024CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
2025
2026 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
2027 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
2028 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
2029 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
2030 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
2031 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
2032 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
2033 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
2034 corruption on many printers)
2035 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
2036 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
2037 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
2038 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
2039 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
2040 requests.
2041 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
2042 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
2043 was lost.
2044 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
2045 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
2046 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
2047 to be used for a socket.
2048 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
2049 a set were numeric or string types.
2050 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
2051 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
2052 reading *.conf files.
2053 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
2054 same logic as GET requests.
2055 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
2056 /index.html to requested directory name.
2057 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
2058 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
2059 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
2060 instead of mode 0600.
2061 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
2062 instead of 0600.
2063 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
2064 system name in log filenames.
2065 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
2066 and hex strings.
2067
2068
2069CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
2070
2071 - Added configure check for getting the correct
2072 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
2073 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
2074
2075
2076CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
2077
2078 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
2079 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
2080 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
2081 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
2082 filter programs properly.
2083 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
2084 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
2085 versions of GCC.
2086 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
2087 cancelled in StartJob().
2088 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
2089 written with restricted permissions.
2090 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
2091 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
2092 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
2093 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
2094 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
2095 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
2096 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
2097 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
2098 syslog file.
2099 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
2100 and only specifies the document format if it is
2101 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
2102 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
2103 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2104 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2105 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2106 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2107 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2108 cancelled.
2109 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2110 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2111 sporatic web interface problems.
2112 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2113 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2114 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2115 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2116 whitespace.
2117 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2118 instead of an integer.
2119 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2120 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2121 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2122 and user-level access control.
2123 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2124 encryption.
2125 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2126 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2127 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2128 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2129 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2130 to the man page.
2131 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2132 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2133 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2134 queued for a printer.
2135 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2136 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2137 reporting.
2138
2139
2140CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2141
2142 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2143 code.
2144 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2145 check in backend/serial.c.
2146 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2147 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2148 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2149 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2150 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2151 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2152 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2153 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2154 anyways)
2155
2156
2157CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2158
2159 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2160 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2161 for run level 5.
2162 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2163 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2164 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2165 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2166 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2167 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2168 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2169
2170
2171CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2172
2173 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2174 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2175 access from the local system.
2176 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2177 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2178 - Documentation updates.
2179 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2180 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2181 RedHat or Mandrake.
2182 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2183 warnings.
2184 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2185 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2186 hex)
2187 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2188 crash the server.
2189 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2190 correct value length for name-with-language and
2191 text-with-language attributes.
2192 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2193 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2194 efficient IPP server performance.
2195 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2196 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2197 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2198 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2199 attack.
2200 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2201 data required when getting the list of printer or
2202 class information. This should improve performance
2203 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2204 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2205 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2206 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2207 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2208 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2209 override the lpoptions default printer.
2210 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2211 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2212 attributes.
2213 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2214 did not check for the correct value for collated
2215 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2216 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2217 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2218 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2219 scale mode 2.
2220 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2221 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2222 that started with a number.
2223 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2224 multiple times in name-with-language and
2225 text-with-language attributes.
2226 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2227 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2228 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2229 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2230 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2231 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2232 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2233 close the spool directory.
2234 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2235 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2236 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2237 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2238 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2239 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2240 larger than the source string; this protects
2241 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2242 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2243 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2244 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2245 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2246 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2247 remote printers.
2248 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2249 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2250 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2251 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2252 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2253 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2254 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2255 3-argument contains() function.
2256 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2257 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2258 database containing 0 printers.
2259 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2260 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2261 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2262 printer was always busy.
2263 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2264 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2265 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2266 jobs.
2267 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2268 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2269 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2270 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2271 57600 and 115200 baud.
2272 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2273 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2274 option in the device URI.
2275 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2276 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2277 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2278 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2279 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2280 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2281 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2282 job attributes to be changed.
2283 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2284 web interface.
2285 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2286 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2287 since they do not map)
2288 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2289 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2290 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2291 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2292 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2293 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2294 child signals while loading devices.
2295 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2296 and classes.
2297 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2298 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2299 driver dithering code.
2300 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2301 after the first active printer.
2302 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2303 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2304 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2305 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2306 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2307 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2308 accepted null values.
2309 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2310 of the backends.
2311 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2312 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2313 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2314 is set in the plot file.
2315 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2316 user name, causing it to always fail.
2317 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2318 under Windows.
2319 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2320 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2321 didn't handle control file job information in any
2322 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2323 a file.
2324 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2325 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2326 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2327 printing on some systems.
2328 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2329 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2330 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2331 it.
2332
2333
2334CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2335
2336 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2337 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2338 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2339 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2340 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2341 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2342 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2343 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2344 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2345 order, which prevented remote printing.
2346 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2347 IPP requests and language information when closing
2348 a client connection.
2349 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2350 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2351 compatibles)
2352 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2353 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2354 on many OS's.
2355 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2356 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2357 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2358 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2359 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2360 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2361 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2362 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2363 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2364 PPD files.
2365 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2366 when the destination printer supported it. This
2367 caused problems when printing text files to other
2368 CUPS servers.
2369 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2370 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2371 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2372 the dates.)
2373 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2374 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2375 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2376 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2377 be clipped.
2378
2379
2380CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2381
2382 - Makefile fixes.
2383 - RPM spec file changes.
2384 - Documentation updates.
2385 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2386 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2387 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2388 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2389 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2390 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2391 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2392 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2393 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2394 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2395 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2396 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2397 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2398 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2399 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2400 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2401 specified.
2402 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2403 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2404 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2405 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2406 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2407 cupsd.conf.
2408 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2409 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2410 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2411 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2412 filter mode 'l'.
2413 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2414 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2415 defaults for all print queues.
2416 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2417 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2418 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2419 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2420 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2421 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2422 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2423 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2424 printer was defined with the same name.
2425 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2426 remove options for a printer or instance.
2427 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2428 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2429 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2430 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2431 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2432 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2433 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2434 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2435 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2436 job-printer-uri attribute.
2437 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2438 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2439 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2440 remote printers.
2441 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2442 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2443 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2444 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2445 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2446 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2447 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2448 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2449 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2450 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2451 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2452 printer set using lpoptions.
2453 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2454 list the printer-specific options and their current
2455 settings.
2456 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2457 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2458 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2459 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2460 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2461 text printing.
2462 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2463 instances.
2464 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2465 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2466 limit.
2467 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2468 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2469 new client connections.
2470 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2471 required pagedevice parameters.
2472 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2473 under Linux.
2474 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2475 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2476 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2477 would stop processing.
2478 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2479 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2480 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2481 that was currently printing a job.
2482 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2483 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2484 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2485 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2486 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2487 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2488 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2489 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2490 option values separated by commas.
2491 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2492 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2493 and free bytes once a minute)
2494 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2495 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2496 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2497 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2498 printers.
2499 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2500 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2501 requests from that address to the server name.
2502 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2503 server.domain.com to localhost.
2504 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2505 the previous device and driver settings (except
2506 for serial ports.)
2507 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2508 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2509 after a job is completed when job file history is
2510 turned off.
2511 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2512 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2513 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2514 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2515 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2516 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2517 for "lpstat -v" output.
2518 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2519 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2520 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2521 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2522 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2523 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2524 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2525 by itself without quoting.
2526
2527
2528CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2529
2530 - Makefile/configure fixes
2531 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2532 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2533 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2534 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2535 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2536 number generator for certificates.
2537 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2538 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2539 the filter user, typically "lp".
2540 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2541 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2542 user.
2543 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2544 function.
2545 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2546 standard input.
2547 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2548 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2549 page header as needed.
2550 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2551 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2552 immediately when last-document was true.
2553 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2554 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2555 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2556 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2557 and many PS printers.
2558 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2559 filters.
2560 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2561 debugging problems.
2562 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2563 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2564 calling problem...)
2565 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2566 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2567 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2568 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2569 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2570 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2571 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2572 by default.
2573 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2574 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2575 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2576 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2577 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2578 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2579 CUPS software.
2580
2581
2582CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2583
2584 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2585 old PDF filter files.
2586 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2587 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2588 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2589 network devices.
2590 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2591 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2592 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2593 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2594 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2595 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2596 is defined otherwise.
2597 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2598 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2599 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2600 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2601 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2602 0-length PPD file was read.
2603 - The image filters were not handling images with
2604 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2605 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2606 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2607 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2608 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2609 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2610 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2611 documents if they don't have it.
2612 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2613 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2614 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2615 --prefix was specified.
2616 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2617 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2618 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2619 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2620 color mode until it can be fixed.
2621 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2622 correctly in all cases.
2623 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2624 time in banner files.
2625
2626
2627CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2628
2629 - Documentation updates.
2630 - Configuration script updates.
2631 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2632 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2633 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2634 ppd_file_t structure.
2635 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2636 before it was used.
2637 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2638 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2639 the localhost address.
2640 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2641 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2642 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2643 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2644 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2645 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2646 PDF support.
2647 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2648 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2649 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2650 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2651 pstoraster.
2652 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2653 the user.
2654 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2655 not running.
2656 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2657 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2658 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2659 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2660 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2661 setpagedevice operator.
2662 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2663 the default banner pages.
2664 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2665 "position" option.
2666 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2667 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2668 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2669 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2670 "printer@server") when possible.
2671 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2672 with no PageSize attributes.
2673 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2674 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2675 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2676 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2677 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2678 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2679 cupsd.
2680 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2681 locations.
2682 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2683 variables to specify installation directories as
2684 needed.
2685 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2686 when the scheduler is started.
2687 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2688 printer.
2689 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2690 printer are automatically deleted.
2691 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2692 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2693 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2694 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2695 request.
2696 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2697 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2698 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2699 is "no-hold".
2700 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2701 responses.
2702 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2703 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2704 printer.
2705 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2706 request fails.
2707 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2708 printer and class names.
2709 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2710 received in a POST request.
2711
2712
2713CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2714
2715 - Documentation updates.
2716 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2717 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2718 method.
2719 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2720 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2721 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2722 - Missing the job-restart template.
2723 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2724 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2725 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2726 not specified.
2727 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2728 from getting through.
2729 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2730 stderr.
2731 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2732 job name and display string, if supported.
2733 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2734 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2735 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2736 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2737 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2738 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2739 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2740 UTF-8...
2741 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2742 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2743 could cause cupsd to crash.
2744 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2745 crash.
2746 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2747 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2748 "HH:MM:SS".
2749 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2750 connection structure.
2751 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2752 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2753 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2754 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2755 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2756 is a potential security hole.
2757 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2758 new pstoraster.
2759 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2760 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2761 (/dev/usblp#)
2762 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2763 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2764 release.
2765
2766
2767CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2768
2769 - Documentation updates.
2770 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2771 now compile better under *BSD.)
2772 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2773 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2774 tray was selected.
2775 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2776 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2777 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2778 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2779 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2780 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2781 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2782 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2783 can handle.
2784 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2785 cause cupsd to crash.
2786 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2787 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2788 mime.types file.
2789 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2790 of file to be used as a banner.
2791 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2792 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2793 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2794 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2795 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2796 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2797 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2798 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2799 the IANA registrations.
2800 - New PostScript banner pages.
2801 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2802 filter.
2803 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2804 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2805 code.
2806 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2807 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2808 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2809 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2810 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2811 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2812 accurate width specification.
2813 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2814 files.
2815 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2816 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2817 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2818 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2819 that support it.
2820 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2821 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2822 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2823 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2824 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2825 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2826 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2827 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2828 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2829 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2830
2831
2832CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2833
2834 - Documentation updates.
2835 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2836 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2837 shell and Bash.
2838 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2839 code.
2840 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2841 manufacturer in the PPD.
2842 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2843 output attributes to be set.
2844 - Added banner page support.
2845 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2846 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2847 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2848 timezone offset.
2849 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2850 file is generated).
2851 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2852 printers when they became available.
2853 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2854 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2855 printer is only used when it becomes available)
