6e3d4276 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
5
33073884 6 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
7 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
8 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
9 up...
2e32fcdb 10 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
11 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
12 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
13 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 14 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
15 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
16 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
17 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 18 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
19 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 20 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
21 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
22 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 23 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
24 variable under MacOS X.
25 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
26 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 27 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
28 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 29 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
30 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
31 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 32 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
33 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 34 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
35 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
36 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 37 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 38 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
39 sequence.
49d1718a 40 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
41 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 42 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 43 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
44 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 45 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
46 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 47 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
48 Apple.
8bd0441f 49 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
50 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 51 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
52 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
53 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
54 option.
55 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
56 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 57 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
58 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
59 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 60 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
61 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
62 via IPP.
edd85093 63 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
64 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 65 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
66 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 67 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
68 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
69 means that printers that don't report their serial
70 numbers in the device ID string will not be
71 individually selectable.
d0598693 72 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
73 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 74 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 75 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
76 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
77 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
78 the same.
79 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
80 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
81 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 82 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
83 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 84 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
85 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 86 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
87 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
88 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 89 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
90 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 91 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
92 an attribute definition.
de218675 93 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
94 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
95 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
96 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 97 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
98 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
99 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
100 situations. The warning message is now written no more
101 than once per minute.
67fa1315 102 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
103 PS RIPs.
320115a7 104 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
105 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
106 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 107 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
108 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
109 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
110 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
111 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
112 program or man page files.
113
114
759f5023 115CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
116
e38a7cef 117 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
118 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
119 write a job control file.
f63a430f 120 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
121 directive to control whether new printers can be added
122 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
123 default is to not allow printers with these device
124 URIs.
767ae392 125 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
126 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
127 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 128 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
129 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
130 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
131 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 132 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
133 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 134 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
135 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
136 attacks.
901b295d 137 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
138 interface.
139 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
140 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
141 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 142 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
143 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
144 the scheduler did not close the connections
145 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 146 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
147 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 148 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
149 back to its original at the end of a job; this
150 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
151 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 152 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
153 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 154 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
155 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
156 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
157 PPD files.
dcc2e394 158 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
159 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
160 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 161 - The web interface did not always report the correct
162 error message.
759f5023 163 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
164 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
165 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
166 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
167 process from returning.
168
169
3cc7bca4 170CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
171
5c826e17 172 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
173 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 174 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 175 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
176 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 177 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
178 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
179 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
180 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
181 ticket data.
182 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
183 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
184 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 185 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
186 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
187 group membership still requires the account name to be
188 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 189 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
190 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
191 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
192 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 193 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
194 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 195 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
196 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
197 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
198 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
199 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 200 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
201 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 202 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
203 caused by servers sending the status line and
204 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 205 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
206 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
207 empty.
78143282 208 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
209 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 210 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
211 Windows.
f33d1239 212 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
213 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 214 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
215 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
216 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 217 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
218 (interrupted system call) errors.
219 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
220 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
221 caused by the child signal handler.
222 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
223 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
224 error.
e1e31a38 225 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
226 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 227 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
228 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 229 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
230 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
231 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 232 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
233 properly localized time string.
549d1888 234 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
235 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
236 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 237 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
238 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 239 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
240 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
241 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
242 scheduler.
243 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
244 scheduler so that the printer object information is
245 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
246 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
247 queues.
854d3bb2 248 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
249 filename.
137d4d44 250 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
251 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
252 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
253 automatic form feed.
254 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 255 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
256 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 257 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
258 MacOS X.
259 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
260 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
261 has been removed.
262
263
06415a96 264CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
265
727e6d14 266 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
267 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
268 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
269 printer.
270 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
271 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 272 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
273 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
274 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 275 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
276 you can display completed jobs as well as
277 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 278 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
279 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
280 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 281 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
282 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
283 occurs.
db628f45 284 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
285 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 286 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
287 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
288 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
289 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
290 the page number.
da312e94 291 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
292 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 293 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 294 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
295 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
296 banner pages.
25037b2b 297 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
298 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
299 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 300 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 301 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
302 reliably.
a9219725 303 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
304 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
305 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
306 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 307 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
308 connection when sending an error that requires the
309 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
310 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
311 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 312 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
313 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
314 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
315 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 316 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
317 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
318 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
319 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 320 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
321 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 322 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
323 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 324 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
325 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 326 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
327 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 328 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
329 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
330 defines a circular filter rule.
331 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
332 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 333 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
334 files.
5ca43bfd 335 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
336 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 337 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
338 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
339 compatibility).
879062a9 340 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 341 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
342 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
343 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 344 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
345 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 346 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
347 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
348 shutdown.
098f80c5 349 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
350 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
351 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 352 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
353 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
354 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
355 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 356 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
357 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
358 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 359 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
360 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 361 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
362 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
363 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
364 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 365 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
366 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
367 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 368 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
369 connect to the remote server name in a
370 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
371 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
372 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
373 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 374 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
375 the program would try to print the option letter that
376 caused the error using the wrong index into the
377 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 378 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
379 attributes from printer options in
380 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 381 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
382 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 383 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 384 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
385 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 386 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
387 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
388 characters.
389 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
390 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
391 the language mode.
392 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
393 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
394 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
395 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
396 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 397 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 398 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
399 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 400 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
401 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 402 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
403 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
404 driver.
997cf8b0 405 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
406 the next available printer rather than waiting until
407 that printer is available.
408 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
409 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
410 printer class instead of a normal printer.
411 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
412 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
413 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 414 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
415 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
416 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
417 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 418 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
419 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
420 to accept connections.
421 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
422 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
423 and current directory.
424 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
425 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
426 into the file type database would no longer be valid
427 for existing jobs.
428 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
429 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
430 actually provided.
431 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 432 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
433 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 434 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
435 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 436 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
437 case-insensitive.
438 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
439 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 440 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
441 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
442 Solaris.
b91c8a76 443 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
444 printing banner pages.
4f759211 445 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 446 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
447 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 448 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
449 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 450 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
451 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
452 file.
8ce19460 453 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
454 description from member printers.
fabb006b 455 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
456 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 457 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 458 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
459 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 460 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
461 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 462 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
463 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
464 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 465 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
466 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
467 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
468 up...
19e7b382 469 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
470 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
471 authentication didn't work for administration
472 operations.
103abc03 473 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
474 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 475 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
476 interface to "localhost".
477 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
478 response to queue state commands, but those commands
479 only return textual data.
480
481
7680b71d 482CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
483
484 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
485 string function header, which is required on systems
486 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
487 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
488 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
489 have to.
490
491
74cfdb8b 492CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
493
dab1a4d8 494 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
495 license exception.
611e4623 496 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
497 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 498 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
499 option if none is provided to automatically select the
500 correct tray.
ed6078a4 501 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
502 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
503 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
504 options.
505 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
506 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
507 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 508 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
509 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
510 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
511 queues) on the server.
512 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
513 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
514 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
515 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 516 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
517 set definitions.
a319615f 518 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
519 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 520 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
521 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 522 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 523 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 524 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
525 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 526 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
527 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 528 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
529 have a small comment header explaining where the file
530 comes from...
6df23e27 531 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 532 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 533 number-up-layout options.
415199da 534 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
535 using the default printer.
536 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
537 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
538 to allow for longer printer names.
539 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
540 history data.
541 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
542 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
543 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
544 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 545 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
546 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
547 caused problems on some installations that would
548 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
549 level 3.
550 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 551 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
552 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 553 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
554 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 555 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
556 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 557 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 558 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
559 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
560 (cupsd).
a4e23897 561 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
562 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
563 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
564 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 565 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
566 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
567 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
568 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
569 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
570 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
571 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
572 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
573 non-ISOLatin1 text.
574 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
575 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
576 of glyphs.
576b82ca 577 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
578 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
579 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
580 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 581 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
582 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
583 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
584 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
585 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 586 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
587 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 588 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
589 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 590 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
591 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 592 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
593 classes.
7200e26c 594 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
595 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
596 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 597 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
598 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
599 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
600 control and browsing based on the current interface
601 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 602 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
603 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 604 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
605 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
606 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
607 group.
f4647930 608 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
609 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 610 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
611 detects that the printer is not connected to the
612 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
613 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
614 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
615 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 616 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
617 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 618 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
619 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 620 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
621 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 622 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
623 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 624 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
625 generated dependencies.
626 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 627 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
628 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
629 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 630 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
631 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
632 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 633 - The backends now read print data using the read()
634 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
635 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 636 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
637 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 638 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
639 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
640 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
641 printers and classes all at once.
642 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
643 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 644 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
645 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
646 value.
1c9c423b 647 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
648 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
649 other options as strings.
f918a565 650 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
651 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
652 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 653 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
654 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
655 option.
74cfdb8b 656 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
657 integers and ranges.
658 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
659 language support for CUPS.
660
661
ee8b7dd3 662CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
663
843779ef 664 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 665 attribute name length or string with language value
666 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 667 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
668 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
669 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 670 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 671 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
672 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 673 - MacOS X fixes.
674 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
675 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
676 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
677 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 678 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
679 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
680 it from waiting for the job to complete when
681 communicating with some IPP implementations that
682 require it.
683
684
d2503e02 685CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
686
28a96fe2 687 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
688 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 689 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
690 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
691 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 692 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
693 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
694 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
695 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
696 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 697 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
698 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
699 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
700 *.convs files.
db911fcb 701 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
702 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
703 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
704 goes away.
7c587866 705 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
706 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 707 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 708 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 709 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 710 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
711 portion of the printer name, and since it would
712 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
713 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 714 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
715 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 716 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
717 connections to improve performance/response time.
718 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
719 from Andrea Suatoni.
720 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
721 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
722 tools support.
723 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
724 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
725 existed.
726 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
727 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 728 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
729 page-set option.
873a6f43 730 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
731 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 732 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
733 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
734 etc.)
bd73c81f 735 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
736 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
737 listing for a printer.
738 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
739 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
740 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 741 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
742 values.
dd5f3453 743 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
744 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 745 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
746 - Updated the Italian message translations.
747 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
748 files.
749 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
750 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 751 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
752 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
753 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 754 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
755 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 756 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
757 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 758 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
759 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 760 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
761 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
762 classification level, if set. This way the original
763 banner settings are preserved when classification
764 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 765 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
766 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 767 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
768 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
769 system default group was not used.
770 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
771 send multiple control files.
772 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
773 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
774 for the "https" scheme.
775 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
776 from the web interface for accounts other than
777 "root".
778 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
779 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
780 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
781 address properly.
782 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
783 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
784 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
785 inside a Location, which is not valid.
786 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
787 information under Linux.
788 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
789 option (if present) in PPD files.
790 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
791 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
792 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
793 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
794 the lppasswd command.
795 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
796 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
797 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
798 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
799 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
800 directory and configuration files are owned by and
801 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
802 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
803 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
804 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
805 restarting cupsd.
806 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
807 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
808 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
809 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
810 for commands on the standard input.
811 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
812 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
813 pointer platforms...
814
815
816CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
817
818 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
819 files.
820 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
821 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
822 destination type for the new destination.
823 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
824 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
825 printer ACLs.
826 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
827 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
828 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
829 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
830 printer-make-and-model attribute.
831
832
833CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
834
835 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
836 files.
837 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
838 files.
839 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
840 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
841 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
842 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
843 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
844 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
845 the device list (lpinfo -m).
846 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
847 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
848 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
849 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
850 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
851 increment. [this caused some versions of the
852 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
853 options exceeded 100...]
854 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
855 was set to "No".
856 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
857 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
858 infinite loop when accepting a request.
859 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
860 functions to make IPP request/response processing
861 faster.
862 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
863 support properly support the "-h" or default
864 server name.
865 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
866 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
867 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
868 support printer instances.
869 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
870 underline formatting.
871 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
872 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
873 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
874 (-1).
875 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
876 from printing to printers in that class.
877 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
878 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
879 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
880 slower systems since more information had to be
881 transferred from server to client.
882 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
883 things like the job title. This had the potential for
884 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
885 machine); bug report from SuSE.
886 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
887 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
888 processing.
889 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
890 to stderr instead of stdout...
891 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
892 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
893 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
894 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
895 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
896 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
897 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
898 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
899 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
900 the Spanish banner files.
901 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
902 language abbreviation to use for all supported
903 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
904 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
905 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
906 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
907 anonymous printing (no username specified).
908 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
909 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
910 information when printing via LPD.
911 - Added many warning and informational messages
912 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
913 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
914 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
915 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
916 provided.
917 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
918 cupsd.conf.
919 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
920 32k.
921 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
922 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
923 possible.
924 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
925 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
926 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
927 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
928 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
929 long values.
930 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
931 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
932 to CGIs.
933 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
934 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
935 time.
936 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
937 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
938 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
939 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
940 result in a blank page being output...
941 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
942 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
943 page comments when printing files directly...)
944 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
945 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
946 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
947 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
948 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
949 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
950 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
951 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
952 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
953 original destination.
954 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
955 requested-attributes attribute in the
956 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
957 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
958 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
959 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
960 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
961 prints.
962
963
964CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
965
966 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
967 makefiles to install files properly.
968
969
970CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
971
972 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
973 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
974 to override the classification of individual jobs.
975 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
976 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
977 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
978 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
979 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
980 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
981 server.
982 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
983 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
984 with some types of flow control.
985 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
986 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
987 server.
988 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
989 lines in the configuration files.
990 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
991 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
992 from the server.
993 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
994 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
995 to the file: pseudo-backend.
996 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
997 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
998 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
999 script. Previously the job's document format was
1000 used, which was incorrect.
1001 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1002 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1003 "raw" model from the command-line.
1004 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1005 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1006 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1007 printers.
1008 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1009 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1010 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1011 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1012 which caused some confusion... :)
1013 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1014 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1015
1016
1017CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1018
1019 - The configure script did not substitute the
1020 correct user and group names.
1021 - The configure script did not use the full path
1022 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1023 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1024 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1025 duplexing.
1026 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1027 distribution.
1028 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1029 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1030 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1031 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1032 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1033 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1034 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1035 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1036 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1037 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1038 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1039 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1040
1041
1042CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1043
1044 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1045 approach for the various tests.
1046 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1047 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1048 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1049 options to specify the default user and group for
1050 CUPS.
1051 - Added AIX shared library support.
1052 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1053 parallel ports.
1054 - Now use install program or script to install
1055 directories, files, and symlinks.
1056 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1057 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1058 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1059 print.
1060 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1061 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1062 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1063 64-bit boundary.
1064 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1065 skip the Digest keyword.
1066 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1067 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1068 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1069 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1070 authentication from passwd.md5.
1071 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1072 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1073 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1074 PPD files should start much faster now.
1075 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1076 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1077 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1078 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1079 times.
1080 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1081 code if an error occurred.
1082 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1083 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1084 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1085 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1086 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1087 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1088 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1089 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1090 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1091 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1092 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1093 copies would come out instead of N.
1094 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1095 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1096 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1097 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1098 output an even number of pages.
1099 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1100 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1101 from being cancelled early.
1102 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1103 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1104 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1105 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1106 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1107 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1108 "ESC i" graphics command.
1109 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1110 printers to a local class.
1111 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1112 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1113 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1114 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1115 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1116 printers that were part of a class.
1117 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1118 printer more than once.
1119 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1120 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1121 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1122 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1123 account.
1124 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1125 against a location of "/printers/name".
1126 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1127 upgrades properly.
1128 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1129 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1130 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1131 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1132 when using Digest authentication.
1133 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1134 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1135 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1136 file.
1137 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1138 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1139 server.
1140 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1141 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1142 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1143 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1144 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1145 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1146 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1147 not the empty string.
1148 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1149 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1150 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1151 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1152 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1153 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1154 supported file types into the
1155 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1156 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1157 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1158 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1159 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1160 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1161 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1162 or behave irratically.
1163 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1164 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1165 specified.
1166 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1167 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1168 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1169 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1170 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1171 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1172 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1173 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1174 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1175 location or description of the printer.
1176 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1177 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1178 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1179 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1180 multiple groups.
1181 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1182 Apache.
1183 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1184 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1185 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1186 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1187 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1188 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1189 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1190 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1191 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1192 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1193 Ghostscript code.
1194 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1195 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1196 size instead of percent of page size.)
1197 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1198 instead of root.
1199 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1200 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1201 size options.
1202 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1203 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1204 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1205 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1206 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1207 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1208 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1209 character.
1210
1211
1212CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1213
1214 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1215 package for pstoraster.
1216 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1217 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1218 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1219 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1220 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1221 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1222 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1223 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1224 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1225 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1226 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1227 history disabled.
1228 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1229 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1230 connections initially.
1231 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1232 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1233 throughout.
1234 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1235 Richard Begg.)
1236 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1237 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1238 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1239 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1240 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1241 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1242 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1243 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1244 #54489...
1245 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1246 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1247 (only affects page-label and Classification
1248 options.)
1249 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1250 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1251
1252
1253CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1254
1255 - Configuration script changes, including new
1256 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1257 documentation and web content according to your
1258 favorite version of the FHS.
1259 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1260 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1261 test CUPS prior to installation.
1262 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1263 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1264 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1265 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1266 directives.
1267 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1268 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1269 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1270 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1271 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1272 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1273 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1274 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1275 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1276 formats are supported at present.)
1277 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1278 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1279 all browsing off.
1280 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1281 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1282 document.
1283 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1284 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1285 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1286 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1287 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1288 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1289 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1290 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1291 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1292 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1293 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1294 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1295 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1296 server.
1297 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1298 PJL commands from PPD files.
1299 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1300 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1301 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1302 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1303 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1304 the next/current job in the queue.
1305 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1306 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1307 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1308 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1309 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1310 for Sun Raster images.
1311 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1312 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1313 function.
1314 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1315 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1316 command when printing to USB devices.
1317 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1318 the cupsd.conf file.
1319 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1320 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1321 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1322 /dev/urandom.
1323 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1324 httpGetSubField().
1325 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1326 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1327 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1328 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1329 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1330 CGI was currently running.
1331 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1332 option=true or option=false.
1333 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1334 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1335 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1336 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1337 could cause it to crash.
1338 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1339 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1340 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1341 attribute when altering a job.
1342 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1343 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1344 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1345 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1346 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1347 addresses.
1348 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1349 the current classification on each page.
1350 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1351 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1352 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1353 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1354 encryption.
1355 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1356 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1357 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1358 support instances.
1359 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1360 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1361 and should never be used in a production environment.
1362 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1363 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1364 interface.
1365 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1366 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1367 prevent caching of the results.
1368 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1369 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1370 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1371 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1372 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1373 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1374 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1375 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1376 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1377 submitted by a user.
1378 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1379 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1380 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1381 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1382 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1383 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1384 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1385 embedded spaces.
1386 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1387 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1388 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1389 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1390 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1391 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1392 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1393 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1394 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1395 by the GIMP.
1396 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1397 bypassed the authentication checks.
1398 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1399 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1400 a race condition between the client and server for the
1401 upgrade to TLS.
1402 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1403 the pstops filter.
1404 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1405 the custom page size in the raster header.
1406 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1407 size to the size of the printed image.
1408 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1409 which are required by some printers.
1410 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1411 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1412 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1413 DSC).
1414 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1415 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1416 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1417 driver.
1418 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1419 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1420 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1421 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1422 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1423 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1424 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1425 address this problem.
1426 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1427 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1428 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1429 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1430 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1431 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1432 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1433 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1434 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1435 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1436 to manage print jobs.
1437 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1438 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1439 of 0 length.
1440 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1441 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1442 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1443
1444
1445CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1446
1447 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1448 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1449 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1450 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1451 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1452 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1453 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1454 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1455 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1456 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1457 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1458 /dev/ulptN.
1459 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1460 classes it was a member of.
1461 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1462 implicit status of a class.
1463 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1464 from implicit classes.
1465 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1466 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1467 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1468 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1469 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1470 of the scheduler.
1471 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1472 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1473 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1474 the /#copies variable anymore.
1475 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1476 option.
1477 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1478 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1479 for a bad-request error)
1480 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1481 unimplemented, not invalid.
1482 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1483 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1484 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1485 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1486 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1487 (pstoraster).
1488 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1489 which are not used.
1490 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1491 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1492 cgi_initialize_string().
1493 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1494 ippSetCGIVars()
1495 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1496 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1497 leaks.
1498 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1499 fails.
1500 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1501 setuid() calls.
1502 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1503 calls.
1504 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1505 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1506 bad input.
1507 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1508 missing hex digits.
1509
1510
1511CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1512
1513 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1514 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1515 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1516 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1517 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1518 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1519 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1520 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1521 corruption on many printers)
1522 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1523 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1524 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1525 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1526 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1527 requests.
1528 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1529 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1530 was lost.
1531 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1532 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1533 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1534 to be used for a socket.
1535 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1536 a set were numeric or string types.
1537 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1538 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1539 reading *.conf files.
1540 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1541 same logic as GET requests.
1542 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1543 /index.html to requested directory name.
1544 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1545 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1546 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1547 instead of mode 0600.
1548 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1549 instead of 0600.
1550 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1551 system name in log filenames.
1552 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1553 and hex strings.
1554
1555
1556CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1557
1558 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1559 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1560 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1561
1562
1563CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1564
1565 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1566 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1567 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1568 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1569 filter programs properly.
1570 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1571 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1572 versions of GCC.
1573 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1574 cancelled in StartJob().
1575 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1576 written with restricted permissions.
1577 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1578 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1579 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1580 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1581 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1582 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1583 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1584 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1585 syslog file.
1586 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1587 and only specifies the document format if it is
1588 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1589 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1590 capabilities of CUPS servers.
1591 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
1592 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
1593 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
1594 signals and eject the current page when a job is
1595 cancelled.
1596 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
1597 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
1598 sporatic web interface problems.
1599 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
1600 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
1601 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
1602 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
1603 whitespace.
1604 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
1605 instead of an integer.
1606 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
1607 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
1608 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
1609 and user-level access control.
1610 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
1611 encryption.
1612 - The client code did not consume the response to the
1613 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
1614 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
1615 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
1616 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
1617 to the man page.
1618 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
1619 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
1620 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
1621 queued for a printer.
1622 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
1623 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
1624 reporting.
1625
1626
1627CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
1628
1629 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
1630 code.
1631 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
1632 check in backend/serial.c.
1633 - Updated configure script handling of data,
1634 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
1635 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
1636 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
1637 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
1638 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
1639 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
1640 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
1641 anyways)
1642
1643
1644CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
1645
1646 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
1647 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
1648 for run level 5.
1649 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
1650 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
1651 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
1652 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
1653 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
1654 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
1655 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
1656
1657
1658CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
1659
1660 - Security updates - new default configuration does
1661 not broadcast printer information and only allows
1662 access from the local system.
1663 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
1664 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
1665 - Documentation updates.
1666 - Makefile/configure script updates.
1667 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
1668 RedHat or Mandrake.
1669 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
1670 warnings.
1671 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
1672 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
1673 hex)
1674 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
1675 crash the server.
1676 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
1677 correct value length for name-with-language and
1678 text-with-language attributes.
1679 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
1680 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
1681 efficient IPP server performance.
1682 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
1683 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
1684 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
1685 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
1686 attack.
1687 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
1688 data required when getting the list of printer or
1689 class information. This should improve performance
1690 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
1691 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
1692 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
1693 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
1694 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
1695 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
1696 override the lpoptions default printer.
1697 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
1698 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
1699 attributes.
1700 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
1701 did not check for the correct value for collated
1702 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
1703 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
1704 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
1705 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
1706 scale mode 2.
1707 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
1708 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
1709 that started with a number.
1710 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
1711 multiple times in name-with-language and
1712 text-with-language attributes.
1713 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
1714 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
1715 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
1716 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
1717 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
1718 in the ppd_file_t structure.
1719 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
1720 close the spool directory.
1721 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
1722 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
1723 larger than the source string(s); this protects
1724 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1725 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
1726 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
1727 larger than the source string; this protects
1728 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
1729 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
1730 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
1731 - The directory services code was copying instead of
1732 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
1733 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
1734 remote printers.
1735 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
1736 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
1737 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
1738 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
1739 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
1740 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
1741 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
1742 3-argument contains() function.
1743 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
1744 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
1745 database containing 0 printers.
1746 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
1747 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
1748 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
1749 printer was always busy.
1750 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
1751 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
1752 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
1753 jobs.
1754 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
1755 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
1756 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
1757 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
1758 57600 and 115200 baud.
1759 - The serial backend now supports different types of
1760 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
1761 option in the device URI.
1762 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
1763 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
1764 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
1765 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
1766 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
1767 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
1768 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
1769 job attributes to be changed.
1770 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
1771 web interface.
1772 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
1773 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
1774 since they do not map)
1775 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
1776 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
1777 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
1778 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
1779 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
1780 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
1781 child signals while loading devices.
1782 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
1783 and classes.
1784 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
1785 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
1786 driver dithering code.
1787 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
1788 after the first active printer.
1789 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
1790 Solaris printing system did not understand.
1791 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
1792 except under Tru64 UNIX.
1793 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
1794 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
1795 accepted null values.
1796 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
1797 of the backends.
1798 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
1799 undocumented feature in Solaris.
1800 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
1801 is set in the plot file.
1802 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
1803 user name, causing it to always fail.
1804 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
1805 under Windows.
1806 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
1807 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
1808 didn't handle control file job information in any
1809 order, and didn't free job options after printing
1810 a file.
1811 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
1812 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
1813 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
1814 printing on some systems.
1815 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
1816 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
1817 attribute was specified in all requests that required
1818 it.
1819
1820
1821CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
1822
1823 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
1824 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
1825 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
1826 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
1827 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
1828 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
1829 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
1830 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
1831 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
1832 order, which prevented remote printing.
1833 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
1834 IPP requests and language information when closing
1835 a client connection.
1836 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
1837 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
1838 compatibles)
1839 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
1840 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
1841 on many OS's.
1842 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
1843 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
1844 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
1845 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
1846 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
1847 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
1848 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
1849 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
1850 the color, page size, and resolution options in
1851 PPD files.
1852 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
1853 when the destination printer supported it. This
1854 caused problems when printing text files to other
1855 CUPS servers.
1856 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
1857 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
1858 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
1859 the dates.)
1860 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
1861 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
1862 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
1863 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
1864 be clipped.
1865
1866
1867CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
1868
1869 - Makefile fixes.
1870 - RPM spec file changes.
1871 - Documentation updates.
1872 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
1873 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
1874 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
1875 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
1876 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
1877 color value in encoded polylines or text.
1878 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
1879 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
1880 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
1881 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
1882 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
1883 driver modules are in fact loaded...
1884 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
1885 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
1886 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
1887 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
1888 specified.
1889 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
1890 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
1891 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
1892 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
1893 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
1894 cupsd.conf.
1895 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
1896 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
1897 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
1898 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
1899 filter mode 'l'.
1900 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
1901 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
1902 defaults for all print queues.
1903 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
1904 comment would also have an EOF comment.
1905 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
1906 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
1907 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
1908 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
1909 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
1910 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
1911 printer was defined with the same name.
1912 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
1913 remove options for a printer or instance.
1914 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
1915 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
1916 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
1917 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
1918 and usblp driver names in the device list.
1919 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
1920 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
1921 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
1922 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
1923 job-printer-uri attribute.
1924 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
1925 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
1926 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
1927 remote printers.
1928 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
1929 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
1930 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
1931 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
1932 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
1933 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
1934 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
1935 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
1936 line was present in cupsd.conf.
1937 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
1938 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
1939 printer set using lpoptions.
1940 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
1941 list the printer-specific options and their current
1942 settings.
1943 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
1944 default printer or class at the top of the page.
1945 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
1946 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
1947 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
1948 text printing.
1949 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
1950 instances.
1951 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
1952 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
1953 limit.
1954 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
1955 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
1956 new client connections.
1957 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
1958 required pagedevice parameters.
1959 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
1960 under Linux.
1961 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
1962 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
1963 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
1964 would stop processing.
1965 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
1966 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
1967 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
1968 that was currently printing a job.
1969 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
1970 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
1971 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
1972 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
1973 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
1974 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
1975 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
1976 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
1977 option values separated by commas.
1978 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
1979 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
1980 and free bytes once a minute)
1981 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
1982 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
1983 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
1984 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
1985 printers.
1986 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
1987 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
1988 requests from that address to the server name.
1989 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
1990 server.domain.com to localhost.
1991 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
1992 the previous device and driver settings (except
1993 for serial ports.)
1994 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
1995 the job attributes; this preserves the information
1996 after a job is completed when job file history is
1997 turned off.
1998 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
1999 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2000 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2001 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2002 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2003 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2004 for "lpstat -v" output.
2005 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2006 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2007 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2008 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2009 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2010 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2011 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2012 by itself without quoting.
2013
2014
2015CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2016
2017 - Makefile/configure fixes
2018 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2019 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2020 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2021 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2022 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2023 number generator for certificates.
2024 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2025 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2026 the filter user, typically "lp".
2027 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2028 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2029 user.
2030 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2031 function.
2032 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2033 standard input.
2034 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2035 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2036 page header as needed.
2037 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2038 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2039 immediately when last-document was true.
2040 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2041 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2042 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2043 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2044 and many PS printers.
2045 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2046 filters.
2047 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2048 debugging problems.
2049 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2050 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2051 calling problem...)
2052 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2053 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2054 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2055 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2056 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2057 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2058 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2059 by default.
2060 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2061 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2062 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2063 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2064 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2065 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2066 CUPS software.
2067
2068
2069CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2070
2071 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2072 old PDF filter files.
2073 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2074 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2075 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2076 network devices.
2077 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2078 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2079 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2080 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2081 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2082 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2083 is defined otherwise.
2084 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2085 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2086 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2087 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2088 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2089 0-length PPD file was read.
2090 - The image filters were not handling images with
2091 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2092 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2093 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2094 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2095 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2096 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2097 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2098 documents if they don't have it.
2099 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2100 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2101 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2102 --prefix was specified.
2103 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2104 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2105 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2106 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2107 color mode until it can be fixed.
2108 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2109 correctly in all cases.
2110 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2111 time in banner files.
2112
2113
2114CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2115
2116 - Documentation updates.
2117 - Configuration script updates.
2118 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2119 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2120 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2121 ppd_file_t structure.
2122 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2123 before it was used.
2124 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2125 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2126 the localhost address.
2127 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2128 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2129 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2130 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2131 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2132 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2133 PDF support.
2134 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2135 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2136 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2137 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2138 pstoraster.
2139 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2140 the user.
2141 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2142 not running.
2143 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2144 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2145 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2146 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2147 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2148 setpagedevice operator.
2149 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2150 the default banner pages.
2151 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2152 "position" option.
2153 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2154 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2155 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2156 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2157 "printer@server") when possible.
2158 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2159 with no PageSize attributes.
2160 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2161 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2162 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2163 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2164 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2165 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2166 cupsd.
2167 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2168 locations.
2169 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2170 variables to specify installation directories as
2171 needed.
2172 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2173 when the scheduler is started.
2174 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2175 printer.
2176 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2177 printer are automatically deleted.
2178 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2179 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2180 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2181 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2182 request.
2183 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2184 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2185 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2186 is "no-hold".
2187 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2188 responses.
2189 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2190 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2191 printer.
2192 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2193 request fails.
2194 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2195 printer and class names.
2196 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2197 received in a POST request.
2198
2199
2200CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2201
2202 - Documentation updates.
2203 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2204 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2205 method.
2206 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2207 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2208 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2209 - Missing the job-restart template.
2210 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2211 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2212 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2213 not specified.
2214 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2215 from getting through.
2216 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2217 stderr.
2218 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2219 job name and display string, if supported.
2220 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2221 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2222 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2223 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2224 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2225 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2226 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2227 UTF-8...
2228 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2229 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2230 could cause cupsd to crash.
2231 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2232 crash.
2233 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2234 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2235 "HH:MM:SS".
2236 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2237 connection structure.
2238 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2239 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2240 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2241 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2242 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2243 is a potential security hole.
2244 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2245 new pstoraster.
2246 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2247 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2248 (/dev/usblp#)
2249 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2250 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2251 release.
2252
2253
2254CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2255
2256 - Documentation updates.
2257 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2258 now compile better under *BSD.)
2259 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2260 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2261 tray was selected.
2262 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2263 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2264 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2265 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2266 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2267 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2268 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2269 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2270 can handle.
2271 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2272 cause cupsd to crash.
2273 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2274 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2275 mime.types file.
2276 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2277 of file to be used as a banner.
2278 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2279 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2280 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2281 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2282 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2283 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2284 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2285 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2286 the IANA registrations.
2287 - New PostScript banner pages.
2288 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2289 filter.
2290 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2291 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2292 code.
2293 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2294 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2295 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2296 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2297 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2298 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2299 accurate width specification.
2300 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2301 files.
2302 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2303 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2304 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2305 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2306 that support it.
2307 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2308 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2309 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2310 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2311 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2312 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2313 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2314 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2315 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2316 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2317
2318
2319CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2320
2321 - Documentation updates.
2322 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2323 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2324 shell and Bash.
2325 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2326 code.
2327 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2328 manufacturer in the PPD.
2329 - The pstoraster filter didn't allow some input and
2330 output attributes to be set.
2331 - Added banner page support.
2332 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2333 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2334 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2335 timezone offset.
2336 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2337 file is generated).
2338 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2339 printers when they became available.
2340 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2341 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2342 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2343 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2344 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2345 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2346 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2347 (override with -f)
2348 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2349 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2350 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2351 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2352 folks.
2353 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2354 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2355 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2356 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2357 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2358 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2359 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2360 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2361 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2362 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2363 languages (still only have templates for English)
2364 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2365 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2366 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2367 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2368 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2369 needed for some sites)
2370 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2371 templates.
2372 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2373 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2374 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2375 specific printer.
2376 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2377 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2378 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2379 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2380 authentication.
2381 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2382 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2383 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2384 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2385 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2386 filter.
2387 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2388 US-ASCII.
2389 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2390 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2391 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2392 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2393 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2394 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2395 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2396 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2397 basis without environment variables.
2398 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2399
2400
2401CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2402
2403 - Documentation updates.
2404 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2405 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2406 printer.
2407 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2408 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2409 distribution.
2410 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2411 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2412 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2413 to match the IPP spec.
2414 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2415 (previously they would be ignored)
2416 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2417 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2418 machines.
2419 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2420 and printer.
2421 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2422 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2423 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2424 BrowseRelay directives.
2425 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2426 still receives information on remote printers.
2427 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2428 networks)
2429 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2430 of PPD files.
2431 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2432 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2433 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
