06415a96 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
5
3f1897d4 6 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
7 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
8 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
9 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 10 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
11 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
12 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 13 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
14 connect to the remote server name in a
15 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
16 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
17 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
18 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 19 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
20 the program would try to print the option letter that
21 caused the error using the wrong index into the
22 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 23 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
24 attributes from printer options in
25 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 26 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
27 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 28 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 29 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
30 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 31 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
32 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
33 characters.
34 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
35 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
36 the language mode.
37 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
38 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
39 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
40 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
41 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 42 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 43 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
44 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 45 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
46 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 47 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
48 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
49 driver.
997cf8b0 50 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
51 the next available printer rather than waiting until
52 that printer is available.
53 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
54 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
55 printer class instead of a normal printer.
56 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
57 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
58 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 59 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
60 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
61 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
62 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 63 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
64 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
65 to accept connections.
66 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
67 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
68 and current directory.
69 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
70 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
71 into the file type database would no longer be valid
72 for existing jobs.
73 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
74 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
75 actually provided.
76 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 77 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
78 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 79 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
80 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 81 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
82 case-insensitive.
83 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
84 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 85 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
86 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
87 Solaris.
b91c8a76 88 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
89 printing banner pages.
4f759211 90 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 91 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
92 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 93 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
94 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 95 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
96 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
97 file.
8ce19460 98 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
99 description from member printers.
fabb006b 100 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
101 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 102 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 103 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
104 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 105 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
106 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 107 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
108 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
109 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 110 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
111 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
112 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
113 up...
19e7b382 114 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
115 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
116 authentication didn't work for administration
117 operations.
103abc03 118 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
119 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 120 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
121 interface to "localhost".
122 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
123 response to queue state commands, but those commands
124 only return textual data.
125
126
7680b71d 127CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
128
129 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
130 string function header, which is required on systems
131 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
132 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
133 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
134 have to.
135
136
74cfdb8b 137CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
138
dab1a4d8 139 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
140 license exception.
611e4623 141 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
142 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 143 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
144 option if none is provided to automatically select the
145 correct tray.
ed6078a4 146 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
147 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
148 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
149 options.
150 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
151 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
152 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 153 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
154 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
155 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
156 queues) on the server.
157 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
158 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
159 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
160 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 161 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
162 set definitions.
a319615f 163 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
164 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 165 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
166 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 167 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 168 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 169 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
170 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 171 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
172 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 173 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
174 have a small comment header explaining where the file
175 comes from...
6df23e27 176 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 177 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 178 number-up-layout options.
415199da 179 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
180 using the default printer.
181 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
182 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
183 to allow for longer printer names.
184 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
185 history data.
186 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
187 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
188 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
189 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 190 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
191 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
192 caused problems on some installations that would
193 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
194 level 3.
195 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 196 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
197 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 198 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
199 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 200 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
201 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 202 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 203 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
204 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
205 (cupsd).
a4e23897 206 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
207 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
208 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
209 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 210 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
211 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
212 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
213 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
214 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
215 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
216 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
217 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
218 non-ISOLatin1 text.
219 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
220 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
221 of glyphs.
576b82ca 222 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
223 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
224 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
225 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 226 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
227 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
228 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
229 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
230 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 231 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
232 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 233 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
234 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 235 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
236 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 237 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
238 classes.
7200e26c 239 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
240 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
241 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 242 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
243 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
244 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
245 control and browsing based on the current interface
246 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 247 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
248 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 249 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
250 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
251 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
252 group.
f4647930 253 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
254 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 255 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
256 detects that the printer is not connected to the
257 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
258 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
259 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
260 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 261 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
262 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 263 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
264 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 265 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
266 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 267 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
268 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 269 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
270 generated dependencies.
271 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 272 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
273 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
274 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 275 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
276 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
277 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 278 - The backends now read print data using the read()
279 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
280 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 281 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
282 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 283 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
284 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
285 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
286 printers and classes all at once.
287 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
288 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 289 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
290 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
291 value.
1c9c423b 292 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
293 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
294 other options as strings.
f918a565 295 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
296 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
297 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 298 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
299 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
300 option.
74cfdb8b 301 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
302 integers and ranges.
303 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
304 language support for CUPS.
305
306
ee8b7dd3 307CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
308
843779ef 309 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 310 attribute name length or string with language value
311 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 312 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
313 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
314 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 315 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 316 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
317 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 318 - MacOS X fixes.
319 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
320 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
321 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
322 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 323 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
324 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
325 it from waiting for the job to complete when
326 communicating with some IPP implementations that
327 require it.
328
329
d2503e02 330CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
331
28a96fe2 332 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
333 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 334 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
335 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
336 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 337 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
338 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
339 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
340 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
341 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 342 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
343 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
344 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
345 *.convs files.
db911fcb 346 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
347 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
348 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
349 goes away.
7c587866 350 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
351 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 352 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 353 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 354 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 355 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
356 portion of the printer name, and since it would
357 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
358 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 359 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
360 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 361 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
362 connections to improve performance/response time.
363 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
364 from Andrea Suatoni.
365 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
366 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
367 tools support.
368 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
369 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
370 existed.
371 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
372 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 373 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
374 page-set option.
873a6f43 375 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
376 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 377 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
378 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
379 etc.)
bd73c81f 380 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
381 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
382 listing for a printer.
383 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
384 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
385 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 386 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
387 values.
dd5f3453 388 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
389 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 390 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
391 - Updated the Italian message translations.
392 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
393 files.
394 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
395 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 396 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
397 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
398 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 399 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
400 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 401 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
402 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 403 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
404 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 405 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
406 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
407 classification level, if set. This way the original
408 banner settings are preserved when classification
409 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 410 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
411 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 412 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
413 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
414 system default group was not used.
415 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
416 send multiple control files.
417 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
418 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
419 for the "https" scheme.
420 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
421 from the web interface for accounts other than
422 "root".
423 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
424 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
425 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
426 address properly.
427 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
428 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
429 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
430 inside a Location, which is not valid.
431 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
432 information under Linux.
433 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
434 option (if present) in PPD files.
435 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
436 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
437 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
438 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
439 the lppasswd command.
440 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
441 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
442 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
443 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
444 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
445 directory and configuration files are owned by and
446 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
447 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
448 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
449 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
450 restarting cupsd.
451 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
452 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
453 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
454 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
455 for commands on the standard input.
456 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
457 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
458 pointer platforms...
459
460
461CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
462
463 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
464 files.
465 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
466 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
467 destination type for the new destination.
468 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
469 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
470 printer ACLs.
471 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
472 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
473 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
474 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
475 printer-make-and-model attribute.
476
477
478CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
479
480 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
481 files.
482 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
483 files.
484 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
485 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
486 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
487 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
488 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
489 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
490 the device list (lpinfo -m).
491 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
492 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
493 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
494 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
495 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
496 increment. [this caused some versions of the
497 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
498 options exceeded 100...]
499 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
500 was set to "No".
501 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
502 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
503 infinite loop when accepting a request.
504 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
505 functions to make IPP request/response processing
506 faster.
507 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
508 support properly support the "-h" or default
509 server name.
510 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
511 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
512 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
513 support printer instances.
514 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
515 underline formatting.
516 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
517 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
518 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
519 (-1).
520 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
521 from printing to printers in that class.
522 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
523 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
524 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
525 slower systems since more information had to be
526 transferred from server to client.
527 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
528 things like the job title. This had the potential for
529 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
530 machine); bug report from SuSE.
531 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
532 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
533 processing.
534 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
535 to stderr instead of stdout...
536 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
537 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
538 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
539 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
540 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
541 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
542 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
543 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
544 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
545 the Spanish banner files.
546 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
547 language abbreviation to use for all supported
548 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
549 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
550 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
551 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
552 anonymous printing (no username specified).
553 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
554 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
555 information when printing via LPD.
556 - Added many warning and informational messages
557 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
558 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
559 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
560 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
561 provided.
562 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
563 cupsd.conf.
564 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
565 32k.
566 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
567 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
568 possible.
569 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
570 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
571 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
572 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
573 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
574 long values.
575 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
576 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
577 to CGIs.
578 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
579 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
580 time.
581 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
582 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
583 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
584 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
585 result in a blank page being output...
586 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
587 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
588 page comments when printing files directly...)
589 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
590 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
591 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
592 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
593 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
594 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
595 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
596 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
597 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
598 original destination.
599 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
600 requested-attributes attribute in the
601 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
602 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
603 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
604 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
605 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
606 prints.
607
608
609CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
610
611 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
612 makefiles to install files properly.
613
614
615CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
616
617 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
618 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
619 to override the classification of individual jobs.
620 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
621 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
622 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
623 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
624 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
625 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
626 server.
627 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
628 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
629 with some types of flow control.
630 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
631 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
632 server.
633 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
634 lines in the configuration files.
635 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
636 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
637 from the server.
638 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
639 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
640 to the file: pseudo-backend.
641 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
642 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
643 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
644 script. Previously the job's document format was
645 used, which was incorrect.
646 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
647 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
648 "raw" model from the command-line.
649 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
650 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
651 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
652 printers.
653 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
654 Chinese text support compiled into it.
655 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
656 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
657 which caused some confusion... :)
658 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
659 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
660
661
662CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
663
664 - The configure script did not substitute the
665 correct user and group names.
666 - The configure script did not use the full path
667 to the install-sh script when it was used.
668 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
669 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
670 duplexing.
671 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
672 distribution.
673 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
674 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
675 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
676 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
677 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
678 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
679 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
680 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
681 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
682 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
683 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
684 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
685
686
687CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
688
689 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
690 approach for the various tests.
691 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
692 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
693 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
694 options to specify the default user and group for
695 CUPS.
696 - Added AIX shared library support.
697 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
698 parallel ports.
699 - Now use install program or script to install
700 directories, files, and symlinks.
701 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
702 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
703 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
704 print.
705 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
706 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
707 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
708 64-bit boundary.
709 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
710 skip the Digest keyword.
711 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
712 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
713 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
714 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
715 authentication from passwd.md5.
716 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
717 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
718 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
719 PPD files should start much faster now.
720 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
721 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
722 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
723 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
724 times.
725 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
726 code if an error occurred.
727 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
728 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
729 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
730 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
731 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
732 eliminates the buffer start bug.
733 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
734 the receiving device didn't support the copies
735 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
736 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
737 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
738 copies would come out instead of N.
739 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
740 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
741 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
742 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
743 output an even number of pages.
744 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
745 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
746 from being cancelled early.
747 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
748 instances, and options that are not defined by the
749 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
750 options from being used in individual user accounts.
751 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
752 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
753 "ESC i" graphics command.
754 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
755 printers to a local class.
756 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
757 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
758 - The scheduler did not load or save the
759 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
760 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
761 printers that were part of a class.
762 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
763 printer more than once.
764 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
765 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
766 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
767 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
768 account.
769 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
770 against a location of "/printers/name".
771 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
772 upgrades properly.
773 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
774 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
775 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
776 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
777 when using Digest authentication.
778 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
779 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
780 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
781 file.
782 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
783 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
784 server.
785 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
786 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
787 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
788 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
789 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
790 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
791 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
792 not the empty string.
793 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
794 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
795 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
796 unsupported attributes which should normally be
797 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
798 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
799 supported file types into the
800 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
801 clients to not send the local file type (such as
802 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
803 corresponding bad output in some cases.
804 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
805 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
806 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
807 or behave irratically.
808 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
809 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
810 specified.
811 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
812 completed or reported as "pending-held".
813 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
814 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
815 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
816 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
817 retrieve and update the server configuration files
818 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
819 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
820 location or description of the printer.
821 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
822 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
823 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
824 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
825 multiple groups.
826 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
827 Apache.
828 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
829 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
830 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
831 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
832 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
833 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
834 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
835 the page-ranges option from working properly.
836 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
837 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
838 Ghostscript code.
839 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
840 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
841 size instead of percent of page size.)
842 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
843 instead of root.
844 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
845 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
846 size options.
847 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
848 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
849 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
850 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
851 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
852 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
853 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
854 character.
855
856
857CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
858
859 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
860 package for pstoraster.
861 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
862 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
863 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
864 Guiliani for finding this bug!
865 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
866 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
867 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
868 - The IPP backend did not handle the
869 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
870 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
871 to stop on client machines when the server had job
872 history disabled.
873 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
874 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
875 connections initially.
876 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
877 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
878 throughout.
879 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
880 Richard Begg.)
881 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
882 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
883 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
884 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
885 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
886 in the first page instead of the document setup section
887 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
888 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
889 #54489...
890 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
891 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
892 (only affects page-label and Classification
893 options.)
894 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
895 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
896
897
898CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
899
900 - Configuration script changes, including new
901 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
902 documentation and web content according to your
903 favorite version of the FHS.
904 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
905 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
906 test CUPS prior to installation.
907 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
908 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 909 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
910 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 911 directives.
912 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
913 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
914 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
915 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
916 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
917 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
918 might not work with some LPD servers...)
919 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
920 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
921 formats are supported at present.)
922 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
923 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
924 all browsing off.
925 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
926 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
927 document.
928 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
929 to requests without the attributes-charset or
930 attributes-natural-language attributes.
931 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
932 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
933 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
934 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
935 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
936 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
937 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
938 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
939 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
940 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
941 server.
942 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
943 PJL commands from PPD files.
944 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
945 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
946 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
947 cancel all jobs on all printers.
948 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
949 the next/current job in the queue.
950 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
951 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
952 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
953 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
954 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
955 for Sun Raster images.
956 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
957 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
958 function.
959 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
960 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
961 command when printing to USB devices.
962 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
963 the cupsd.conf file.
964 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
965 which could block if insufficient entropy information
966 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
967 /dev/urandom.
968 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
969 httpGetSubField().
970 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
971 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
972 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
973 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
974 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
975 CGI was currently running.
976 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
977 option=true or option=false.
978 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
979 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
980 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
981 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
982 could cause it to crash.
983 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
984 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
985 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
986 attribute when altering a job.
987 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
988 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
989 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
990 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
991 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
992 addresses.
993 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
994 the current classification on each page.
995 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
996 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
997 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
998 for CGI programs when a client connects using
999 encryption.
1000 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1001 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1002 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1003 support instances.
1004 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1005 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1006 and should never be used in a production environment.
1007 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1008 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1009 interface.
1010 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1011 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1012 prevent caching of the results.
1013 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1014 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1015 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1016 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1017 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1018 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1019 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1020 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1021 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1022 submitted by a user.
1023 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1024 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1025 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1026 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1027 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1028 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1029 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1030 embedded spaces.
1031 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1032 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1033 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1034 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1035 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1036 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1037 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1038 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1039 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1040 by the GIMP.
1041 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1042 bypassed the authentication checks.
1043 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1044 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1045 a race condition between the client and server for the
1046 upgrade to TLS.
1047 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1048 the pstops filter.
1049 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1050 the custom page size in the raster header.
1051 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1052 size to the size of the printed image.
1053 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1054 which are required by some printers.
1055 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1056 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1057 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1058 DSC).
1059 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1060 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1061 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1062 driver.
1063 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1064 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1065 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1066 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1067 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1068 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1069 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1070 address this problem.
1071 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1072 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1073 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1074 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1075 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1076 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1077 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1078 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1079 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1080 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1081 to manage print jobs.
1082 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1083 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1084 of 0 length.
1085 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1086 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1087 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1088
1089
1090CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1091
1092 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1093 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1094 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1095 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1096 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1097 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1098 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1099 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1100 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1101 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1102 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1103 /dev/ulptN.
1104 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1105 classes it was a member of.
1106 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1107 implicit status of a class.
1108 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1109 from implicit classes.
1110 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1111 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1112 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1113 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1114 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1115 of the scheduler.
1116 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1117 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1118 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1119 the /#copies variable anymore.
1120 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1121 option.
1122 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1123 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1124 for a bad-request error)
1125 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1126 unimplemented, not invalid.
1127 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1128 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1129 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1130 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1131 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1132 (pstoraster).
1133 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1134 which are not used.
1135 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1136 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1137 cgi_initialize_string().
1138 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1139 ippSetCGIVars()
1140 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1141 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1142 leaks.
1143 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1144 fails.
1145 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1146 setuid() calls.
1147 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1148 calls.
1149 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1150 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1151 bad input.
1152 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1153 missing hex digits.
1154
1155
1156CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1157
1158 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1159 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1160 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1161 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1162 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1163 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1164 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1165 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1166 corruption on many printers)
1167 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1168 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1169 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1170 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1171 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1172 requests.
1173 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1174 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1175 was lost.
1176 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1177 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1178 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1179 to be used for a socket.
1180 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1181 a set were numeric or string types.
1182 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1183 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1184 reading *.conf files.
1185 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1186 same logic as GET requests.
1187 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1188 /index.html to requested directory name.
1189 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1190 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1191 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1192 instead of mode 0600.
1193 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1194 instead of 0600.
1195 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1196 system name in log filenames.
1197 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1198 and hex strings.
1199
1200
1201CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1202
1203 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1204 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1205 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1206
1207
1208CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1209
1210 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1211 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1212 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1213 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1214 filter programs properly.
1215 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1216 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1217 versions of GCC.
1218 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1219 cancelled in StartJob().
1220 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1221 written with restricted permissions.
1222 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1223 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1224 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1225 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1226 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1227 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1228 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1229 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1230 syslog file.
1231 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1232 and only specifies the document format if it is
1233 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1234 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1235 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1236 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1237 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1238 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1239 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1240 cancelled.
1241 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1242 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1243 sporatic web interface problems.
1244 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1245 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1246 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1247 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1248 whitespace.
1249 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1250 instead of an integer.
1251 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1252 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1253 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1254 and user-level access control.
1255 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1256 encryption.
1257 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1258 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1259 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1260 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1261 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1262 to the man page.
1263 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1264 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1265 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1266 queued for a printer.
1267 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1268 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1269 reporting.
1270
1271
1272CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1273
1274 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1275 code.
1276 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1277 check in backend/serial.c.
1278 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1279 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1280 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1281 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1282 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1283 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1284 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1285 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1286 anyways)
1287
1288
1289CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1290
1291 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1292 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1293 for run level 5.
1294 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1295 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1296 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1297 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1298 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1299 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1300 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1301
1302
1303CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1304
1305 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1306 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1307 access from the local system.
1308 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1309 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1310 - Documentation updates.
1311 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1312 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1313 RedHat or Mandrake.
1314 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1315 warnings.
1316 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1317 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1318 hex)
1319 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1320 crash the server.
1321 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1322 correct value length for name-with-language and
1323 text-with-language attributes.
1324 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1325 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1326 efficient IPP server performance.
1327 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1328 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1329 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1330 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1331 attack.
1332 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1333 data required when getting the list of printer or
1334 class information. This should improve performance
1335 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1336 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1337 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1338 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1339 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1340 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1341 override the lpoptions default printer.
1342 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1343 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1344 attributes.
1345 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1346 did not check for the correct value for collated
1347 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1348 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1349 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1350 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1351 scale mode 2.
1352 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1353 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1354 that started with a number.
1355 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1356 multiple times in name-with-language and
1357 text-with-language attributes.
1358 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1359 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1360 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1361 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1362 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1363 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1364 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1365 close the spool directory.
1366 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1367 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1368 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1369 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1370 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1371 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1372 larger than the source string; this protects
1373 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1374 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1375 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1376 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1377 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1378 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1379 remote printers.
1380 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1381 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1382 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1383 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1384 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1385 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1386 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1387 3-argument contains() function.
1388 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1389 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1390 database containing 0 printers.
1391 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1392 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1393 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1394 printer was always busy.
1395 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1396 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1397 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1398 jobs.
1399 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1400 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1401 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1402 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1403 57600 and 115200 baud.
1404 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1405 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1406 option in the device URI.
1407 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1408 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1409 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1410 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1411 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1412 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1413 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1414 job attributes to be changed.
1415 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1416 web interface.
1417 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1418 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1419 since they do not map)
1420 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1421 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1422 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1423 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1424 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1425 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1426 child signals while loading devices.
1427 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1428 and classes.
1429 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1430 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1431 driver dithering code.
1432 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1433 after the first active printer.
1434 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1435 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1436 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1437 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1438 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1439 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1440 accepted null values.
1441 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1442 of the backends.
1443 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1444 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1445 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1446 is set in the plot file.
1447 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1448 user name, causing it to always fail.
1449 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1450 under Windows.
1451 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1452 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1453 didn't handle control file job information in any
1454 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1455 a file.
1456 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1457 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1458 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1459 printing on some systems.
1460 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1461 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1462 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1463 it.
1464
1465
1466CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1467
1468 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1469 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1470 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1471 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1472 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1473 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1474 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1475 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1476 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1477 order, which prevented remote printing.
1478 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1479 IPP requests and language information when closing
1480 a client connection.
1481 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1482 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1483 compatibles)
1484 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1485 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1486 on many OS's.
1487 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1488 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1489 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1490 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1491 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1492 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1493 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1494 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1495 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1496 PPD files.
1497 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1498 when the destination printer supported it. This
1499 caused problems when printing text files to other
1500 CUPS servers.
1501 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1502 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1503 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1504 the dates.)
1505 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1506 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1507 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1508 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1509 be clipped.

1512CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1513
1514 - Makefile fixes.
1515 - RPM spec file changes.
1516 - Documentation updates.
1517 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1518 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1519 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1520 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1521 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1522 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1523 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1524 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1525 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1526 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1527 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1528 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1529 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1530 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1531 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1532 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1533 specified.
1534 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1535 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1536 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1537 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1538 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1539 cupsd.conf.
1540 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1541 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1542 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1543 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1544 filter mode 'l'.
1545 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1546 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1547 defaults for all print queues.
1548 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1549 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1550 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1551 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1552 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1553 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1554 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1555 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1556 printer was defined with the same name.
1557 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1558 remove options for a printer or instance.
1559 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1560 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1561 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1562 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1563 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1564 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1565 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1566 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1567 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1568 job-printer-uri attribute.
1569 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1570 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1571 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1572 remote printers.
1573 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1574 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1575 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1576 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1577 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1578 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1579 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1580 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1581 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1582 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1583 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1584 printer set using lpoptions.
1585 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1586 list the printer-specific options and their current
1587 settings.
1588 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1589 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1590 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1591 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1592 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1593 text printing.
1594 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1595 instances.
1596 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1597 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1598 limit.
1599 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1600 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1601 new client connections.
1602 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1603 required pagedevice parameters.
1604 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1605 under Linux.
1606 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1607 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1608 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1609 would stop processing.
1610 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1611 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1612 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1613 that was currently printing a job.
1614 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1615 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1616 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1617 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1618 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1619 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1620 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1621 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1622 option values separated by commas.
1623 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1624 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1625 and free bytes once a minute)
1626 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1627 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1628 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1629 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1630 printers.
1631 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1632 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1633 requests from that address to the server name.
1634 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1635 server.domain.com to localhost.
1636 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1637 the previous device and driver settings (except
1638 for serial ports.)
1639 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1640 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1641 after a job is completed when job file history is
1642 turned off.
1643 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1644 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
1645 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
1646 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
1647 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
1648 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
1649 for "lpstat -v" output.
1650 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
1651 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
1652 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
1653 the lpadmin command didn't work.
1654 - The banner pages and test page should now format
1655 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
1656 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
1657 by itself without quoting.
1658
1659
1660CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
1661
1662 - Makefile/configure fixes
1663 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
1664 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
1665 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
1666 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
1667 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
1668 number generator for certificates.
1669 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
1670 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
1671 the filter user, typically "lp".
1672 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
1673 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
1674 user.
1675 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
1676 function.
1677 - The image filters now support filtering from the
1678 standard input.
1679 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
1680 options and job patch files and applies them to the
1681 page header as needed.
1682 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
1683 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
1684 immediately when last-document was true.
1685 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
1686 replace the current job-hold-until value.
1687 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
1688 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
1689 and many PS printers.
1690 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
1691 filters.
1692 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
1693 debugging problems.
1694 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
1695 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
1696 calling problem...)
1697 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
1698 -d/-P were specified after -o.
1699 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
1700 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
1701 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
1702 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
1703 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
1704 by default.
1705 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
1706 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
1707 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
1708 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
1709 - New Software Performance Specification document that
1710 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
1711 CUPS software.
1712
1713
1714CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
1715
1716 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
1717 old PDF filter files.
1718 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
1719 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
1720 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
1721 network devices.
1722 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
1723 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
1724 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
1725 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
1726 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
1727 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
1728 is defined otherwise.
1729 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
1730 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
1731 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
1732 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
1733 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
1734 0-length PPD file was read.
1735 - The image filters were not handling images with
1736 different X and Y resolutions properly.
1737 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
1738 instead of black output like pstoraster.
1739 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
1740 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
1741 PS files lacking DSC comments.
1742 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
1743 documents if they don't have it.
1744 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
1745 printers lacking the @server in the name.
1746 - The configure script didn't work right when only
1747 --prefix was specified.
1748 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
1749 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
1750 after receiving an option that isn't available.
1751 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
1752 color mode until it can be fixed.
1753 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
1754 correctly in all cases.
1755 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
1756 time in banner files.
1757
1758
1759CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
1760
1761 - Documentation updates.
1762 - Configuration script updates.
1763 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
1764 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
1765 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
1766 ppd_file_t structure.
1767 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
1768 before it was used.
1769 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
1770 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
1771 the localhost address.
1772 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
1773 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
1774 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
1775 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
1776 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
1777 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
1778 PDF support.
1779 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
1780 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
1781 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
1782 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
1783 pstoraster.
1784 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
1785 the user.
1786 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
1787 not running.
1788 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
1789 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
1790 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
1791 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
1792 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
1793 setpagedevice operator.
1794 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
1795 the default banner pages.
1796 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
1797 "position" option.
1798 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
1799 support "%s" to insert the server name.
1800 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
1801 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
1802 "printer@server") when possible.
1803 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
1804 with no PageSize attributes.
1805 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
1806 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
1807 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
1808 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
1809 driver under Solaris 2.7.
1810 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
1811 cupsd.
1812 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
1813 locations.
1814 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
1815 variables to specify installation directories as
1816 needed.
1817 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
1818 when the scheduler is started.
1819 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
1820 printer.
1821 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
1822 printer are automatically deleted.
1823 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
1824 time-at-completed attributes in job.
1825 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
1826 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
1827 request.
1828 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
1829 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
1830 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
1831 is "no-hold".
1832 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
1833 responses.
1834 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
1835 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
1836 printer.
1837 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
1838 request fails.
1839 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
1840 printer and class names.
1841 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
1842 received in a POST request.
1843
1844
1845CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
1846
1847 - Documentation updates.
1848 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
1849 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
1850 method.
1851 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
1852 (not defined in HTTP specification)
1853 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
1854 - Missing the job-restart template.
1855 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
1856 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
1857 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
1858 not specified.
1859 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
1860 from getting through.
1861 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
1862 stderr.
1863 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
1864 job name and display string, if supported.
1865 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
1866 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
1867 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
1868 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
1869 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
1870 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
1871 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
1872 UTF-8...
1873 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
1874 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
1875 could cause cupsd to crash.
1876 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
1877 crash.
1878 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
1879 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
1880 "HH:MM:SS".
1881 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
1882 connection structure.
1883 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
1884 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
1885 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
1886 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
1887 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
1888 is a potential security hole.
1889 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
1890 new pstoraster.
1891 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
1892 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
1893 (/dev/usblp#)
1894 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
1895 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
1896 release.
1897
1898
1899CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
1900
1901 - Documentation updates.
1902 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
1903 now compile better under *BSD.)
1904 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
1905 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
1906 tray was selected.
1907 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
1908 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
1909 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
1910 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
1911 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
1912 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
1913 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
1914 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
1915 can handle.
1916 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
1917 cause cupsd to crash.
1918 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
1919 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
1920 mime.types file.
1921 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
1922 of file to be used as a banner.
1923 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
1924 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
1925 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
1926 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
1927 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
1928 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
1929 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
1930 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
1931 the IANA registrations.
1932 - New PostScript banner pages.
1933 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
1934 filter.
1935 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
1936 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
1937 code.
1938 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
1939 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
1940 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
1941 keep track of the total number of pages in the
1942 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
1943 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
1944 accurate width specification.
1945 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
1946 files.
1947 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1948 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
1949 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
1950 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
1951 that support it.
1952 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
1953 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
1954 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
1955 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
1956 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
1957 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
1958 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
1959 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
1960 matching the behavior of the System V command.
1961 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
1962
1963
1964CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
1965
1966 - Documentation updates.
1967 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
1968 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
1969 shell and Bash.
1970 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
1971 code.
1972 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
1973 manufacturer in the PPD.
1974 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
1975 output attributes to be set.
1976 - Added banner page support.
1977 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1978 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1979 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1980 timezone offset.
1981 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1982 file is generated).
1983 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1984 printers when they became available.
1985 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1986 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1987 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1988 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1989 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1990 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1991 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1992 (override with -f)
1993 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1994 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1995 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1996 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1997 folks.
1998 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1999 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2000 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2001 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2002 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2003 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2004 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2005 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2006 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
