e309e07a 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
5
6 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
7 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support)
8 - Updated the German message catalog.

b696f4e3 11CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
12
ac098b06 13 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
14 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
15 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
16 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
17 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 18 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
19 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 20 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 21 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
22 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
23 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 24 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
25 not work.
c8a55d2c 26 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
27 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
28 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
29 was not added to the collection value.
30 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
31 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 32 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
33 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
34 directives.
35 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
36 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
37 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 38 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
39 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 40 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
41 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
42 #13)
b696f4e3 43 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
44 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
45 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 46 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 47 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
48 message files such as those used for the job history
49 in /var/spool/cups.

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

2623 was being used.
2624 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
