3fc87a99 4CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
5
c50b7b12 6 - The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
7 caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
8 option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
9 within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
10 - The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
11 URI (STR #247)
12 - Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
13 (STR #249)
14 - Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
15 correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
1a673d32 16 - The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
17 logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
f235af09 18 - The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
19 duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
28ae836a 20 - cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
21 HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
60dc191d 22 - ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
23 on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
24 PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
2268893f 25 - cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
26 use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
5cacfcee 27 - The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
28 it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
29 (STR #224)
0a0621ae 30 - Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
31 9 (STR #217)
4342fddc 32 - The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
33 configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
34 BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
c2179d0f 35 - The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
36 ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
37 next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
38 rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
49de8bd2 39 - Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
40 conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
41 two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
42 PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
43 level (STR #212)
b8f3410f 44 - The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
45 pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
82ba0702 46 - The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
47 "banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
48 (STR #209)
0c676a75 49 - The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
50 page device attributes (STR #208)
84dd2ced 51 - The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
52 the user already had specified the proper orientation
53 (STR #207)
e5734f04 54 - Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
ff40b65e 55 - Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
56 #193)
0372885f 57 - The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
58 attributes for the class, job, and printer template
59 files (STR #192)
0f71c41e 60 - The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
61 to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
62 programs rather than the port that the browser
63 connected to (STR #103)
d3d40607 64 - The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
65 JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
66 Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
67 - The filter makefile incorrectly installed
68 libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
69 - The scheduler did not verify that the job history
70 files define the job-priority and
71 job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
a09a157e 72 - The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
73 PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
5a617005 74 - The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
75 make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
76 POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
77 caused problems with some implementations of the
78 standard C library. (STR #159)
79 - The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
80 embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
0e2e516e 81 - Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
82 2.02pl1 (STR #191)
daf8f5f0 83 - The scheduler did not reset the group list when
84 running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
85 - The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
86 signal handlers (STR #190)
964eb42f 87 - The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
88 strings if the description string is not available
89 (STR #174)
fd8e0b1e 90 - The ppdOpen functions still supported the
91 VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
92 of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
93 that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
94 group (STR #158)
9fcd7a75 95 - The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
96 MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
97 #147)
20bde6fb 98 - Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
99 the connection is terminated before the first byte of
100 chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
2f20a999 101 - Printers with special characters in their names were
102 not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
90e1aedc 103 - The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
104 script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
105 - The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
106 and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
107 not blank (STR #152)
33c76e27 108 - The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
109 files did not get installed (STR #148)
110 - The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
111 without shared libraries (STR #149)
112 - The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
113 problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
f49663d5 114 - The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
115 capability bit (STR #144)
116 - The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
117 amount of memory (STR #145)
2e8cd988 118 - The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
119 attributes to the attribute list; previously only
120 certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
af50faa7 121 #139)
122 - The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
123 instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
33b8a82d 124 - The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
125 block waiting for data (STR #132)
ae90e335 126 - The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
127 command after the PJL language escape to work around
128 bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
129 - The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
130 value properly (STR #127)
3fc87a99 131 - The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
ae90e335 132 directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
3fc87a99 133
134
8dc4af74 135CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
136
a17e6548 137 - The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
138 gnutls_check_pending() instead of
139 gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
8c5f90ff 140 - The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
141 instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
142 Also, the custom page size code did not use the
143 ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
ea13a0f9 144 - The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
145 options (STR #123)
f9e6375d 146 - The lpq command did not ensure that there was
147 whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
148 #117)
149 - The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
314ee107 150 - The configure script didn't specify the static
151 libraries properly when configuring with the
152 --disable-shared option (STR #104)
5c47aed9 153 - The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
154 formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
155 - cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
31d18669 156 - "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
157 message (STR #94)
8dc4af74 158 - Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
159
160
af57319f 161CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
7f797921 162
1ed20df6 163 - Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
164 classes would get double banner pages for each
165 file/banner in the job (STR #68)
8fa5f1c6 166 - The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
167 for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
8fc34542 168 - The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
169 be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
170 next restart (STR #82)
dd4497dd 171 - The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
172 scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
173 incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
174 #70)
92498b68 175 - cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
176 language preference (STR #78)
92e48f04 177 - Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
af57319f 178 - The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
179 after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
180 in banner pages (STR #77)
7f797921 181 - The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
182 before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
183 prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
184 annoying error message (STR #45)
185
186
2e6bce36 187CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
3dea040b 188
fb766c9e 189 - The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
190 the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
191 #59)
d8b9e5fa 192 - Added the job-originating-host-name information for
193 the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
a0d4f607 194 - The German web interface templates did not use the
195 right paths for job operations (STR #54)
2e6bce36 196 - The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
197 started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
3dea040b 198 - The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
199 buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
200 eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
201
202
e309e07a 203CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
204
b07e0cc2 205 - The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
206 jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
207 - The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
208 cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
209 user - STR #48)
b01791df 210 - The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
211 (STR #46)
9b2fe6bd 212 - Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
213 Gilles QUERRET)
aa3b74e1 214 - The scheduler would delete all printers from
215 printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
216 was handled (STR #47)
217 - The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
218 unable to send browse packets to the loopback
219 interface (STR #40)
bb9df75d 220 - The scheduler did not put the
221 job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
222 attributes group.
223 - The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
224 defined by the IPP implementation document.
335b78e9 225 - Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
3d16d701 226 - Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
227 and #39)
254aa207 228 - The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
229 which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
230 Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
231 - The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
232 requirements (STR #33)
233 - The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
234 0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
235 - The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
236 symlinks (STR #33)
c7985008 237 - The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
238 copies for the page_log file when printing collated
239 copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
240 hardware (STR #32)
3fa35ec0 241 - cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
242 (POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
243 suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
380b07e9 244 - Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
e309e07a 245 - Updated all of the Western European locales to default
3fa35ec0 246 to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
247 Jacke)
248 - Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
249 Bjoern Jacke)
e309e07a 250
251
b696f4e3 252CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
253
ac098b06 254 - cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
255 trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
256 for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
257 directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
258 with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
89e75dbd 259 - The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
260 compilers cannot be found.
69d2b731 261 - The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
2abcdcaa 262 - The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
263 Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
264 (STR #28).
c4885a3a 265 - Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
266 not work.
c8a55d2c 267 - The printer-state-time collection attribute was
268 encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
269 - The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
270 was not added to the collection value.
271 - The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
272 was not added to the collection value.
d8e1f369 273 - Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
274 - Updated the man pages for the new configuration
275 directives.
276 - Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
277 windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
278 new configuration directives.
de8a4f54 279 - The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
280 on the page (STR #18)
f2cdaedc 281 - The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
282 compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
283 #13)
b696f4e3 284 - The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
285 when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
286 Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
f2cdaedc 287 string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
b696f4e3 288 - The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
289 message files such as those used for the job history
290 in /var/spool/cups.
291
292
fc7f6f69 293CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
6e3d4276 294
265fb4a4 295 - Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
296 (located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
53510eae 297 - The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
298 cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
299 - The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
300 files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
301 directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
302 permissions of /dev/null...)
b4f2ed46 303 - Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
4fc54d8c 304 - Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
305 does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
1e6bd2df 306 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
307 queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
308 no "lp" queue) is sent.
e532393d 309 - The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
310 "*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
53510eae 311 can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
312 while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
313 FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
314 retries and the time between retries.
0e4f2c25 315 - The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
316 files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
317 When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
318 default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
319 your locale.
5073e3f8 320 - The scheduler no longer limits the number of
321 BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
322 SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
d59a189c 323 - The scheduler now supports print files that have been
324 compressed using gzip.
4e43f59e 325 - The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
326 ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
327 some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
328 job ticket information was ignored when the server had
329 a large number of clients connected to the system.
8f4595eb 330 - Filters and backends may now report the total number
331 of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
55737cf0 332 - The LPD backend now supports timeout and
333 sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
334 respectively) and has some additional changes to
335 reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
336 when only one copy was requested.
b5111a23 337 - Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
ded143b8 338 - Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
339 prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
62bcac22 340 - Added support for STATE: messages
341 (printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
342 printer-state-time to the scheduler.
598aeabc 343 - When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
344 start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
345 RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
346 root.
4d4fb342 347 - If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
348 incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
c3719c59 349 - Added support for IPP collections and files.
3721af07 350 - Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
351 programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
352 scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
353 information.
d40085f1 354 - The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
355 field.
dd9e85de 356 - The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
357 user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
358 - The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
359 boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
360 attribute to control whether job history data is
361 purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
362 my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
363 implementation.
b9e3e9a0 364 - The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
365 using SLP browsing.
a5ba1d82 366 - If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
367 would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
368 filter could be executed.
a9bc43ad 369 - When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
370 includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
371 to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
372 Kubla]
3f2fa036 373 - The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
374 data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
375 when the referenced data was deleted before it was
376 sent. It now only references attributes that change
377 only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
378 reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
379 2k.
380 - The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
381 to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
382 signals on Solaris 8.
b27fa031 383 - The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
384 by group name as well as user name.
7057d744 385 - "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
386 printer was available.
387 - The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
388 attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
389 empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
a0db7254 390 - The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
391 printable area of the page.
b43f5fd7 392 - The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
393 classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
394 conformant PS files.
209d6c49 395 - The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
396 the image on the page when printing in landscape
397 orientation.
b3291c5a 398 - The ppdEmit() functions now support the
399 RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
400 and ManualFeed commands.
401 - The PPD loading code now supports standard options
402 outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
43cd52be 403 - The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
404 concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
405 conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
406 - The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
407 loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.
5a0aab69 408 - The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
409 list of available devices, when it should have been
410 using the default signal handler.
dc249e0d 411 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
412 option with a NULL last string.
8b7032be 413 - The socket backend could report the wrong number of
414 backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.
33073884 415 - The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
416 all printers and classes. This allows for longer
417 intervals without excessive delays before classes show
418 up...
2e32fcdb 419 - Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
420 data for a specific number of milliseconds.
421 - httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
422 non-blocking HTTP connections.
bce0c833 423 - The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
424 that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)
425 - The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
426 value; it is a keyword value.
67474245 427 - The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
428 has gone away and reports an error.
2e32fcdb 429 - The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
430 sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
431 that support it.
cc6d5b1e 432 - The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
433 variable under MacOS X.
434 - The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
435 CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.
f353d925 436 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
437 the form "file:///path" properly.
b2d75006 438 - The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
439 for specifying the binary communications protocol to
440 use when printing binary PostScript data.
9c4b5e2e 441 - The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
442 directive, so only the first group would be used.
36992080 443 - Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
444 providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
445 for systems with large numbers of printers.
610e4a98 446 - The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
2ddb40fe 447 files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
448 sequence.
49d1718a 449 - The PPD API now provides additional information from
450 the PPD file.
6a35dc4e 451 - The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.
98c2aef5 452 - The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
453 (quiet) for use in scripts, etc.
6db7190f 454 - Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
455 baseline donated by Apple.
dcfcaeac 456 - Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
457 Apple.
8bd0441f 458 - Implicit classes are now created from identical
459 printer classes on the network.
faa0f7b5 460 - The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
461 restart previously printed jobs. This functionality
462 only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
463 option.
464 - The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
465 to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
cb114623 466 - The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
467 banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
468 "{?time-at-creation}".
a684a3b0 469 - Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
470 files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
471 via IPP.
edd85093 472 - The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
473 even if FileDevices is set to No.
7e3ba0af 474 - CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
475 when it should have used hstrerror().
273e40d6 476 - The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
477 number of a device from the USB devices file; this
478 means that printers that don't report their serial
479 numbers in the device ID string will not be
480 individually selectable.
d0598693 481 - The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
482 when a page contained an embedded document.
cb114623 483 - Added a translation of the web interface to German.
96eae06b 484 - When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
485 with duplexing, the output order is now truly
486 reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
487 the same.
488 - The pstops filter did not always output the extra
489 blank page when printing a document with an odd number
490 of pages with duplexing enabled.
2d850885 491 - The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
492 application to add less than 1 value.
5b28477f 493 - Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface - local
494 access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...
256f3670 495 - The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
496 if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
497 too large for the buffer.
bcf61448 498 - Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
499 by Jeff Licquia.
aea6601a 500 - Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
501 an attribute definition.
de218675 502 - Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
503 to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
504 setting (300 seconds by default). This provides
505 faster recovery from DoS attacks.
f0ad8cdc 506 - A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
507 written to the log files by the scheduler for every
508 detection. This caused a DoS of its own in some
509 situations. The warning message is now written no more
510 than once per minute.
67fa1315 511 - Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
512 PS RIPs.
320115a7 513 - The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
514 attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
515 quotas would not work.
6e3d4276 516 - Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
517 more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.
518 - The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
519 /usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.
520 - The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
521 program or man page files.
522
523
759f5023 524CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.18
525
e38a7cef 526 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code in the
527 scheduler that would cause it to crash or continuously
528 write a job control file.
f63a430f 529 - SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice
530 directive to control whether new printers can be added
531 using device URIs of the form "file:/filename". The
532 default is to not allow printers with these device
533 URIs.
767ae392 534 - The scheduler did not compute the cost of filters
535 properly, nor did it choose a multi-filter solution
536 with a lower cost than a single filter solution.
00528abb 537 - Now install CUPS PPD file test utility (cupstestppd)
538 to support basic conformance testing of PPD files.
539 - The scheduler now logs an error message when it sees a
540 non-conforming PPD file.
ae65da6c 541 - Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for
542 TrueType fonts.
1060c9b6 543 - Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to
544 provide limited protection against Denial of Service
545 attacks.
901b295d 546 - SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web
547 interface.
548 - SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
549 - SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used
550 to exploint the web interface underflow/overflow bug.
901b295d 551 - SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks
552 were not handled properly, so once the attack was over
553 the scheduler did not close the connections
554 immediately on all platforms.
099f4d77 555 - SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow
556 checks for all image formats.
9c1ee2b9 557 - The pstops filter didn't reset the showpage operator
558 back to its original at the end of a job; this
559 prevented the concatenation of documents (used
560 primarily for CUPS 1.2...)
0e66dba3 561 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't always set the
562 cupsLastError() value when an error occurred.
daeeb91c 563 - The IPP media, output-bin, and sides attributes took
564 precedence over the corresponding PPD options, which
565 caused inconsistent behavior under MacOS X with some
566 PPD files.
dcc2e394 567 - The cupsaddsmb utility specified the wrong number of
568 arguments to the adddriver command when adding the
569 Win9x PostScript drivers.
dd44d54e 570 - The web interface did not always report the correct
571 error message.
759f5023 572 - The scheduler did not clear the POSIX signal action
573 structure when waiting for the child to send it a
574 SIGUSR1 signal; this could cause the signal handler
575 not to be called properly, preventing the parent
576 process from returning.
577
578
3cc7bca4 579CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.17
580
5c826e17 581 - The "manual_copies" option did not work when the LPD
582 backend had to retry a print job.
3c892427 583 - The image filters did not convert GIF images properly.
2d21c1ef 584 - The RunAsUser option was incompatible with the new
585 daemon-mode code in 1.1.16.
2d5e06dd 586 - Fixed a problem with the Set-Job-Attributes and
587 PostScript job ticket code in the scheduler - the
588 "last" attribute pointer was never updated, which
589 could cause the scheduler to crash when applying job
590 ticket data.
591 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that caused it to
592 continue processing HTTP requests on a connection
593 after it was shutdown.
3d6f3b2b 594 - The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via
595 PAM to not have a corresponding UNIX account, but
596 group membership still requires the account name to be
597 listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
673d1710 598 - The scheduler used a fixed-size (16k) buffer for
599 encoding job options for filters; it now dynamically
600 allocates and expands the buffer as needed depending
601 on the options that are sent in a job.
8ee2dc56 602 - The pdftops filter didn't support all of the MacOS
603 characters for MacRoman encoded fonts.
a7cc258b 604 - The cupsEncodeOptions() and cupsParseOptions()
605 functions now conform to the grammer defined by the
606 current draft of the PAPI specification. The main
607 difference is that option=yes and option=no are no
608 longer treated as boolean options.
7914a6a1 609 - The IPP backend didn't honor the encryption settings
610 in /etc/cups/client.conf.
dfac1292 611 - Fixed a potential bug in the HTTP code which was
612 caused by servers sending the status line and
613 newline(s) in separate packets.
13f5eff6 614 - User-defined classification strings are now printed
615 verbatim - previously the classification box would be
616 empty.
78143282 617 - Re-added Spanish to the list of PPD languages that
618 CUPS supports.
e0578e6e 619 - CUPS API library user and temp file updates for
620 Windows.
f33d1239 621 - The image filters did not properly handle grayscale
622 printing of Sun Raster images.
bf9e2a45 623 - The scheduler never reset the NumJobs variable before
624 loading the job list (previously this only happened on
625 a full start, so the problem was never apparent...)
bdbaa675 626 - The HTTP and IPP read/write code didn't handle EINTR
627 (interrupted system call) errors.
628 - When under high load, the scheduler could abort due to
629 the wrong errno value after a select() call. This was
630 caused by the child signal handler.
631 - Added new load tests to the test target to verify that
632 cupsd can handle hundreds of simultaneous jobs without
633 error.
e1e31a38 634 - The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device
635 URI syntax.
7a1c86c5 636 - The ppdOpen*() functions now reset the numeric locale
637 settings while loading a PPD file.
b2fdde8d 638 - Fixed the libtool build rules.
639 - The manpage make rules didn't use $(MAKE) and
640 $(MFLAGS) for the language subdirectories.
d0e4469d 641 - Now set the LC_TIME locale category to get the
642 properly localized time string.
549d1888 643 - Fixed a problem in the scheduler that would cause the
644 web interface problems when adding, modifying, or
645 configuring a printer or class.
98904cd6 646 - The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job
647 filters will not stop a print queue.
d47f8ebe 648 - The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists
649 ("lpstat -v printer1,printer2")
650 - Fixed parsing of long filter status messages in the
651 scheduler.
652 - Added some startup performance enhancements to the
653 scheduler so that the printer object information is
654 regenerated fewer times and the MIME type database is
655 not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct
656 queues.
854d3bb2 657 - The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print
658 filename.
137d4d44 659 - Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot
660 matrix printer drivers. This allows for pages as
661 short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do an
662 automatic form feed.
663 - French translation updates.
e639fb32 664 - The filters did not quote the page label string when
665 embedding it in PostScript output.
3cc7bca4 666 - The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under
667 MacOS X.
668 - The pdftops filter contained font rasterizer code that
669 wasn't being used and that depended on X11. This code
670 has been removed.
671
672
06415a96 673CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.16
674
727e6d14 675 - The cancel and lprm commands now both display an error
676 message and return a non-zero exit status if an
677 attempt is made to cancel a job on a non-existent
678 printer.
679 - The lpoptions command incorrectly complained if a
680 request to delete a non-existent printer was made.
807a1ef5 681 - If the client.conf file defines an alternate server
682 name, the "configure printer" action in the web
683 interface might not work.
7cc9aebd 684 - The lpstat command now supports a "-W" option so that
685 you can display completed jobs as well as
686 not-completed (pending) jobs.
a1ca1702 687 - The lp and lpr commands did not return an error when
688 one or more files in a set of files for printing could
689 not be printed.
3b8ff70f 690 - The lp, lpadmin, and lpstat commands now consistently
691 return with a non-zero exit status when an error
692 occurs.
db628f45 693 - The scheduler would not accept print jobs sent to a
694 stopped remote printer.
da1bfd3d 695 - The texttops filter incorrectly converted the page
696 numbers in the prettyprint header to double-byte
697 characters when printing a non-Unicode text file. This
698 caused an extra space to appear between each digit in
699 the page number.
da312e94 700 - The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
701 comparison when adding filters for a printer.
be8c3862 702 - Upgraded the pdftops filter to Xpdf 1.01.
801766ac 703 - The scheduler no longer passes the page-border and
704 number-up-layout attributes to filters when printing
705 banner pages.
25037b2b 706 - The LPD backend now uses a 30-second timeout when
707 sending commands and control files, and a 30-second
708 timeout when retrieving responses from an LPD server.
1aef57ed 709 If a timeout occurs, it retries indefinitely. This
25037b2b 710 helps to make LPD printing over VPNs work more
711 reliably.
a9219725 712 - The USB backend now supports device URIs based on the
713 printer serial number and/or model number under Linux.
714 This avoids the "wrong device filename" problem when
715 using more than one USB printer.
c3c5af5e 716 - Now just shutdown the receiving end of a client
717 connection when sending an error that requires the
718 server to disconnect from the client afterwards. This
719 fixes a problem when doing remote administration with
720 encryption enabled.
b05809b0 721 - The scheduler did not send a printer-state-message
722 attribute if the string was empty; it now always sends
723 this attribute. This caused the printer message to be
724 displayed for other printers in the web interface.
04e01993 725 - The LPD backend now supports a "manual_copies" option,
726 e.g.: "lpd://server/queue?manual_copies=no", in order
727 to handle copies for raw jobs to printers that don't
728 implement the LPD protocol properly...
a05e4307 729 - The "mirror" option was not being handled by the
730 PostScript or image filters.
f7696015 731 - Updated the cupsaddsmb command to support the new CUPS
732 driver for Windows NT/2k/XP.
de659667 733 - Filter status lines longer than 1023 characters could
734 cause the scheduler to get into an infinite loop.
aa25b9e1 735 - The scheduler didn't reset the job state to pending
736 when modifying an active printer.
6ed689f8 737 - Now limit the maximum number of recursion steps when
738 searching for a filter for a job, in case a user
739 defines a circular filter rule.
740 - The PostScript filter would embed an invalid
741 requirements comment in some cases.
56e9c951 742 - Added support for embedded job tickets in PostScript
743 files.
5ca43bfd 744 - The PostScript filter now detects EPS files and should
745 better handle printing EPS files.
5ae53c1e 746 - The cancel command now ignores a trailing destination
747 name when cancelling a specific job ID (Solaris
748 compatibility).
879062a9 749 - The scheduler now rejects jobs with copies outside the
da956953 750 range of 1 to MaxCopies, inclusive.
751 - Added new MaxCopies directive to set the maximum
752 number of copies that a user can request.
879062a9 753 - The scheduler didn't block signals while it processed
754 others and when it forked processes.
5ae53c1e 755 - The scheduler checked for new jobs to print when
756 stopping a job. This caused jobs to restart before a
757 shutdown.
098f80c5 758 - Updated the CUPS startup script to better support
759 different timezones and to support the RedHat/Mandrake
760 init script functions, if available.
e426d516 761 - The scheduler did not properly handle backslashes in
762 banner files; it incorrectly assumed that "\c" should
763 always be replaced by "c", instead of only looking for
764 "\{" and replacing it by "{".
90ca6406 765 - The texttops filter didn't handle prettyprint=no.
766 - The text and HP-GL/2 filters didn't check for other
767 common duplex option names like cupsMarkOptions() did.
c56db294 768 - "lpoptions -x printer" no longer clears the "default
769 printer" status of the printer.
3f1897d4 770 - cupsTempFd() now stops trying to create a temporary
771 file after 1000 tries, and aborts on any error other
772 than EEXIST. This should prevent lp/lpr hangs due to
773 a bad or missing temporary directory.
5a3ef28d 774 - The lpadmin command did not send the right URI to the
775 scheduler when setting options on classes. This
776 caused a client-error-bad-request error.
e354b6e3 777 - The CUPS API convenience functions would attempt to
778 connect to the remote server name in a
779 "printer@server" printer name instead of dealing with
780 the default (usually local) server. Aside from
781 causing user confusion, the remote server name might
782 not be resolved properly, causing further problems.
f2320e2d 783 - "lp -q" would cause the "lp" command to segfault, as
784 the program would try to print the option letter that
785 caused the error using the wrong index into the
786 command-line; bugfix from Debian.
f2ffec40 787 - Fixed a minor inconsistancy in the encoding of boolean
788 attributes from printer options in
789 cupsEncodeOptions().
42ede8a2 790 - Added a FilterNice directive which sets the priority
791 of job filter processes that are run by the scheduler.
93704f20 792 - Added Solaris x86 USB printer support.
34f927d3 793 - The USB backend now reports both the ulpt and unlpt
794 devices under *BSD.
78ab59ae 795 - The "lpstat -o" command would truncate the
796 "printer-jobid" string if it was longer than 21
797 characters.
798 - The PJL-based MIME type rules now look in the first
799 1024 bytes instead of just the first 512 bytes to find
800 the language mode.
801 - The image file types are now listed explicitly in the
802 mime.convs file so that additional image file formats
803 do not use the standard CUPS image filters by default.
804 - Updated the Software Programmers Manual to include
805 all of the CUPS API functions.
cefea041 806 - ppdOpen*() no longer sorts choices for an option.
ce691c0f 807 - The web interface now enforces constraints in PPD
808 files when configuring a printer.
3733593d 809 - When stopping a printer, the scheduler didn't set the
810 printer state before stopping the current job.
a56289b6 811 - The cupsaddsmb utility now lists all data files for
812 Win9x and WinMe clients when installing that Windows
813 driver.
997cf8b0 814 - Jobs submitted to a class now bounce immediately to
815 the next available printer rather than waiting until
816 that printer is available.
817 - Filters and backends now also get the CLASS
818 environment variable set when a job is printed to a
819 printer class instead of a normal printer.
820 - Added French translations of the web interface, CUPS
821 Overview, Software Administrators Manual, and Software
822 Users Manual contributed by Marian REYT-LLABRES.
6b7de82f 823 - Added several "hint" messages for common configuration
824 problems that are stored in the error_log file.
825 - httpSeparate() now unquotes %xx characters in the
826 username:password field of a URI.
5fe35f41 827 - When starting the scheduler in daemon mode, the parent
828 process now waits for the child to signal it is ready
829 to accept connections.
830 - Added -F option to cupsd to run cupsd in the
831 foreground but detach from the controlling terminal
832 and current directory.
833 - The scheduler did not reload jobs when receiving a HUP
834 signal; this would cause problems since the pointers
835 into the file type database would no longer be valid
836 for existing jobs.
837 - The scheduler did not save the network interface list
838 update time, thus no caching of the network data was
839 actually provided.
840 - Updated the SuSE PAM configuration file.
9ba7fc54 841 - The LPD backend now supports a "reserve" option and no
842 longer reserves a priviledged port by default.
bdfe4c00 843 - The cupsaddsmb command now continues past printers
844 that do not have a PPD file to export.
19f699df 845 - The lpstat command didn't treat printer names as
846 case-insensitive.
847 - The lpstat command now reports the printer location
848 attribute with "lpstat -l -p".
c5488f2f 849 - Fixed a bug in the vsnprintf() emulation function,
850 which was used on old versions of HP-UX, IRIX, and
851 Solaris.
b91c8a76 852 - The number-up option was incorrectly being used when
853 printing banner pages.
4f759211 854 - Added support for Greek and Slovak PPD files.
aa37e40e 855 - CUPS now supports printer names containing any
856 printable character, e.g. "123-abc", "foo-bar", etc.
d958c5cf 857 - The null filter was not supported in mime.convs due to
858 a bug in the filter validation code.
3a74d6bf 859 - Changes in the default printer and printer attributes
860 were not always reflected in the generated printcap
861 file.
8ce19460 862 - Implicit classes did not inherit the location or
863 description from member printers.
fabb006b 864 - The httpGetHostByName() function did not handle
865 hostnames that started with a number.
1f1822fd 866 - Updated the filters to use the %cupsRotation comment
904eef76 867 instead of %%Orientation to auto-rotate pages, since
868 the use of %%Orientation is inconsistent.
d9e72533 869 - Added the RootCertDuration directive to control how
870 often the root authentication certificate is updated.
375a0ad5 871 - Increased the size of the IPP write buffer to 32k to
872 allow for larger attribute values and to provide more
873 efficient output of large numbers of attributes.
7ed5d5f2 874 - The polling daemon now retries the initial connection
875 to the remote server; this fixes a problem when the
876 remote server is unavailable when the scheduler starts
877 up...
19e7b382 878 - The scheduler didn't validate Digest users against the
879 system group(s), so Digest and BasicDigest
880 authentication didn't work for administration
881 operations.
103abc03 882 - The scheduler now passes the SHLIB_PATH environment
883 variable to child processes (HP-UX shared libraries)
06415a96 884 - The scheduler now maps accesses from the loopback
885 interface to "localhost".
886 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon sent a status code byte in
887 response to queue state commands, but those commands
888 only return textual data.
889
890
7680b71d 891CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15-1
892
893 - The lpc and lprm sources didn't include the CUPS
894 string function header, which is required on systems
895 that don't have their own snprintf() function.
896 - The French manpage Makefile tried to install the
897 language subdirectories when it (obviously) didn't
898 have to.
899
900
74cfdb8b 901CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.15
902
dab1a4d8 903 - Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS
904 license exception.
611e4623 905 - The printer-info attribute now defaults to the printer
906 name if no value has been set.
52900e4c 907 - ppdOpen() and friends now add an "Auto" InputSlot
908 option if none is provided to automatically select the
909 correct tray.
ed6078a4 910 - Updated the ppdEmit() and ppdEmitFd() functions to
911 (re)mark the correct PageSize or PageRegion option
912 depending on the selected ManualFeed or InputSlot
913 options.
914 - ppdEmitFd() didn't handle custom page sizes.
915 - Darwin uses <pam/pam_appl.h> instead of
916 <security/pam_appl.h>.
fba7409c 917 - The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job
918 operations, allowing the administrator to allow "job
919 administrators" or operators to manage jobs (but not
920 queues) on the server.
921 - The cupsDoFileRequest() function now checks if the
922 filename passed into the function is a directory, and
923 returns the IPP_NOT_POSSIBLE error if so.
924 - New SCSI printer backend.
a594463b 925 - Cleaned up handling of locales with trailing character
926 set definitions.
a319615f 927 - Fixed handling of invalid PPD attributes inside
928 OpenUI/CloseUI.
b92c5a4f 929 - Fixed a problem with SSL and the job, printer, and
930 admin CGIs on ports other than 443.
b47f3ce5 931 - The scheduler didn't handle AuthClass properly.
e6fc9c68 932 - Added French translation of man pages.
a8ee4682 933 - Updated the text filter to support the const_cast,
934 dynamic_cast, and static_cast keywords in ISO C++.
def978d5 935 - Now use strlcat() and strlcpy() (or emulation
936 functions) for easier string/buffer protection.
7b40ae49 937 - The auto-generated printcap/printers.conf files now
938 have a small comment header explaining where the file
939 comes from...
6df23e27 940 - The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up
ed6078a4 941 output, as well as new page-border and
6df23e27 942 number-up-layout options.
415199da 943 - The lpoptions command didn't set options properly when
944 using the default printer.
945 - Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
946 - Increased maximum size of MIME types to IPP_MAX_NAME
947 to allow for longer printer names.
948 - No longer create remote printers when loading job
949 history data.
950 - The printer-make-and-model attribute wasn't set when
951 the PPD file didn't contain a NickName attribute.
952 - Now handle PPD files with translation strings longer
953 than 80 bytes - they are truncated if they go over...
c47e97cc 954 - The scheduler didn't handle signals until after it
955 loaded the configuration files the first time; this
956 caused problems on some installations that would
957 restart the scheduler as the system booted into run
958 level 3.
959 - Now throttle broadcasts like we do for polling.
0203af93 960 - Fixed a bug in the reading of PPD files using CR's
961 instead of CR LF's or LF's.
151718ce 962 - The scheduler would crash if cupsd.conf contained a
963 BrowseProtocols line with no protocols listed.
b05e8e24 964 - The HTML job operation templates now link back to the
965 destination printer or class.
69d74c4b 966 - The serial backend now detects USB serial devices.
238bae16 967 - The LPD mini-daemon (cups-lpd) now passes the
968 job-originating-host-name attribute to the scheduler
969 (cupsd).
a4e23897 970 - Updated the IPP backend to reconnect after downgrading
971 from IPP/1.1 to 1.0, and when sending requests to HP
972 JetDirect interfaces that don't support HTTP
973 Keep-Alive like they should.
1cf29e95 974 - Now pass NLSPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
975 variables, if defined, to CGI and job processes.
976 - Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU
977 Ghostscript 5.50) and now provide the raster "driver"
978 and patch file necessary to use the current GNU
979 Ghostscript 7.05 release.
980 - Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and
981 Symbol fonts to the latest versions to better support
982 non-ISOLatin1 text.
983 - The text filter now always embeds the Courier and
984 Symbol fonts to ensure that they contain the full set
985 of glyphs.
576b82ca 986 - The lp and lpr commands now only override the SIGINT
987 handler if it is not being ignored (patch from Robert
988 Ambrose for some interactive software that catches
989 SIGINT and will gracefully cancel the print...)
350807be 990 - The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports
991 printing CMYK images using the CMYK colorspace.
992 - The image filters now support CMYK JPEG files, and
993 correctly handles the inverted files from Photoshop
994 (which seems to save RGBW data, not CMYK...)
e3bf38b3 995 - Added a "check" target to the top-level makefile to
996 conform with GNU standards (same as "test").
746265a5 997 - The IPP code didn't always map the POSIX locale "C" to
998 the proper IPP language code.
32f78676 999 - The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the
1000 setdriver command instead of addprinter.
934ef66d 1001 - Banner pages were not handled properly for implicit
1002 classes.
7200e26c 1003 - When tunneling to a remote system using SSH, the
1004 printer URIs for local printers on the remote system
1005 did not reflect the correct port number.
d7a9de63 1006 - The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and
1007 BrowseAddress directives now support the network
1008 interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for access
1009 control and browsing based on the current interface
1010 addresses instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
2a55786c 1011 - The texttops filter did not properly recognize the
1012 "nowrap" (wrap=false) option.
83575f2d 1013 - The InstallableOptions group name in a PPD file is now
1014 translated separately (CUPS_MSG_OPTIONS_INSTALLED) so
1015 that UIs can accurately detect the presence of this
1016 group.
f4647930 1017 - The scheduler no longer keeps job history data for
1018 remote printers on the client (just on the server.)
4c2096b8 1019 - The parallel and USB backends now retry if the backend
1020 detects that the printer is not connected to the
1021 system (rather than stopping the queue...)
1022 - The network backends now retry if the backend detects
1023 that the printer is not connected to the network or is
1024 unreachable (rather than stopping the queue...)
c672a858 1025 - The cupsGetDests() function no longer lists options
1026 and instances for printers that no longer exist.
31e65f97 1027 - The scheduler now converts the document language to
1028 the correct LANG string.
8c47c4b4 1029 - The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS
1030 and SAMBA server names.
40a0e1d1 1031 - The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation
1032 comment and rotates the page as needed automatically.
f915b00f 1033 - Revamped the makefiles slightly to use automatically
1034 generated dependencies.
1035 - Build fixes for OS X.
a1028786 1036 - The TIFF reading code depended on the newest version
1037 of libtiff; now conditionally compile that portion of
1038 the loader.
bbc1bfe5 1039 - The PPD code now decodes all JCL options in the
1040 JCLSetup group, not just those options that start with
1041 the prefix "JCL".
267cf96a 1042 - The backends now read print data using the read()
1043 system call to ensure that the current page is printed
1044 while the next page is being processed.
2f7be6ff 1045 - The pdftops filter did not support shading type 3
1046 (radial fill) for the "sh" operator.
dab1a4d8 1047 - The cups-polld program now throttles the local
1048 broadcasts of polled printers and classes so that the
1049 local system is not overwhelmed with hundreds of
1050 printers and classes all at once.
1051 - Updated the serial backend to support 230,400 baud for
1052 the Linux PPC port.
59168282 1053 - The cupsGetJobs() function wouldn't report completed
1054 jobs that did not have a document-format attribute
1055 value.
1c9c423b 1056 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now maintains a table
1057 of known boolean and numeric options, and encodes all
1058 other options as strings.
f918a565 1059 - Now add a newline before the end-of-page code in the
1060 PostScript filter; this fixes a problem with files
1061 that don't end with a newline.
a28d12c5 1062 - The image filters looked for the "orientation" option
1063 instead of the correctly named "orientation-requested"
1064 option.
74cfdb8b 1065 - The cupsEncodeOptions() function now handles mixed
1066 integers and ranges.
1067 - New translation guide for developers to provide native
1068 language support for CUPS.
1069
1070
ee8b7dd3 1071CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.14
1072
843779ef 1073 - The ippRead() function did not verify that the
ba31b514 1074 attribute name length or string with language value
1075 was not larger than the read buffer.
e2943c5f 1076 - The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
1077 the configuration files the first time; this prevented
1078 the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
5fd84fcc 1079 - Added Swedish message catalog.
0e1f4bec 1080 - The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
1081 device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
ba31b514 1082 - MacOS X fixes.
1083 - The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
1084 user information when executing the rpcclient program.
1085 This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
1086 2.2.x.
ee8b7dd3 1087 - The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
1088 when checking on the print job status. This prevented
1089 it from waiting for the job to complete when
1090 communicating with some IPP implementations that
1091 require it.
1092
1093
d2503e02 1094CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.13
1095
28a96fe2 1096 - The lpstat command did not report jobs submitted to
1097 regular printer classes.
0f74081c 1098 - The texttops filter didn't use sufficient precision
1099 when positioning text with some values of cpi and lpi.
1100 This could cause the alignment of text to stray.
0ffae44c 1101 - cupsGetDests() didn't merge the options from the
1102 /etc/cups/lpoptions file with ~/.lpoptions - options
1103 in ~/.lpoptions overrode them completely.
1104 - Added support for KOI8-R and KOI8-U character sets,
1105 and added several Russian message catalogs.
bd726d0d 1106 - The scheduler put the wrong timezone offset in the log
1107 files (e.g. +0500 instead of -0500 for EST...)
1108 - The scheduler did not ignore trailing whitespace in
1109 *.convs files.
db911fcb 1110 - The scheduler now forces all processes to exit (kill
1111 -9) when it is stopped. This prevents parallel and
1112 USB devices from running in the background after cupsd
1113 goes away.
7c587866 1114 - The cupsParseOptions() function didn't skip trailing
1115 whitespace after quoted values.
c3026ddc 1116 - More changes to support CUPS on OS/2.
24e80caf 1117 - Added Simplified Chinese message catalog.
9495ba14 1118 - Added PAM support for IRIX.
c6e1ca5d 1119 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't remove the @server
1120 portion of the printer name, and since it would
1121 connect immediately to the remote server instead of
1122 the local server, the printer would not be found.
8b8cca8e 1123 - Classification and page labels were not rotated to
1124 match the page orientation.
9ae34eb7 1125 - Now set the TCP "no delay" option on network
1126 connections to improve performance/response time.
1127 - Improved the IRIX printing tools support with patches
1128 from Andrea Suatoni.
1129 - Added a new PrintcapGUI directive to specify the GUI
1130 option panel program to use for the IRIX printing
1131 tools support.
1132 - The cupsGetDests() function did not check to see if a
1133 user-defined default printer (set via lpoptions) still
1134 existed.
1135 - The pstops filter no longer assumes that the default
1136 dictionary is writable when doing N-up processing.
bbfcd9c7 1137 - The pstops filter now supports printing N-up with the
1138 page-set option.
873a6f43 1139 - The imagetoraster filter now supports direct printing
1140 of CMYK image data without conversion/correction.
d1c2727f 1141 - The IPP backend now reports printer state/error
1142 conditions when possible (toner low, media empty,
1143 etc.)
bd73c81f 1144 - The lpstat command now supports the (undocumented)
1145 IRIX -l option ("-lprintername") for a compact job
1146 listing for a printer.
1147 - The lpstat command now includes printer date/time
1148 information in the output (always Jan 01 00:00) to
1149 make third-party tools happy.
18843e59 1150 - The text filter now supports non-integer cpi and lpi
1151 values.
dd5f3453 1152 - The Margins field in the CUPS raster header was not
1153 initialized by the pstoraster filter.
9aa1f763 1154 - Added --with-optim="flags" option to configure script.
1155 - Updated the Italian message translations.
1156 - Updated the cups.list file to install the correct
1157 files.
1158 - The pstoraster filter accessed the third element of a
1159 2 element array.
5f46b7d1 1160 - The scheduler did not setup a status pipe for polling
1161 processes, so error messages went to whatever file
1162 descriptor 2 was pointing to when they were started.
5fb5dab7 1163 - The httpMD5Final() function didn't put a colon between
1164 the password and nonce strings.
c5de57af 1165 - The pstops filter did not default to Binary data for
1166 "%%BeginData:".
4a7e6692 1167 - The pstops filter did not stop processing when a line
1168 containing a CTRL-D is seen.
aba2fa7e 1169 - The scheduler no longer replaces the JobSheets values
1170 from the printers.conf and classes.conf files with the
1171 classification level, if set. This way the original
1172 banner settings are preserved when classification
1173 levels are changed or turned off.
8d5eb22e 1174 - The serial backend didn't drain the output queue, nor
1175 did it restore the original settings.
d2503e02 1176 - Updated the default system group under MacOS X.
1177 - If no SystemGroup was defined in cupsd.conf, the
1178 system default group was not used.
1179 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports LPD clients that
1180 send multiple control files.
1181 - httpConnectEncrypt() now always uses encryption for
1182 connections on port 443, since port 443 is reserved
1183 for the "https" scheme.
1184 - Group authentication via certificates did not work
1185 from the web interface for accounts other than
1186 "root".
1187 - The serial port backend did not clear the OPOST
1188 option, which could cause problems with some printers.
1189 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't lookup the client IP
1190 address properly.
1191 - The parallel backend now identifies the polled and
1192 interrupt-driven devices under *BSD.
1193 - The scheduler allowed the "always" encryption mode
1194 inside a Location, which is not valid.
1195 - The CUPS startup script now checks for the timezone
1196 information under Linux.
1197 - Now also map the sides attribute to the JCLDuplex
1198 option (if present) in PPD files.
1199 - Updated pdftops to Xpdf 0.93a.
1200 - Added support for MD5 passwords under Slackware.
1201 - Added new AuthType BasicDigest that does Basic
1202 authentication using the MD5 password file managed by
1203 the lppasswd command.
1204 - The banner page attribute substitution code now
1205 retains {name} sequences in banner files when the
1206 named attribute is undefined. Use {?name} to
1207 conditionally substitute an IPP attribute.
1208 - The scheduler now ensures that the ServerRoot
1209 directory and configuration files are owned by and
1210 writable by the User and Group in cupsd.conf.
1211 - The USB backend now lists all USB printer devices
1212 regardless of whether a printer is connected or not.
1213 This allows new USB printers to be connected without
1214 restarting cupsd.
1215 - Added some more minor performance tweeks to the IPP
1216 protocol code to reduce copying and array indexing.
1217 - The cupsaddsmb utility now uses the -c option with
1218 smbclient and rpcclient to avoid the read length limit
1219 for commands on the standard input.
1220 - Added an include file to the CRD handling code in
1221 pstoraster so that it would compile properly on 64-bit
1222 pointer platforms...
1223
1224
1225CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.12
1226
1227 - Added "Polish" to the list of known languages for PPD
1228 files.
1229 - Added missing directory definition to cups-config.
1230 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not set the
1231 destination type for the new destination.
1232 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation did not support the
1233 allow=all or deny=none values to clear the per-user
1234 printer ACLs.
1235 - The SetPrinterAttrs() function did not handle invalid
1236 PPD files that were missing the required NickName
1237 attribute. It now looks for NickName, ModelName, and
1238 then substitutes the string "Bad PPD File" for the
1239 printer-make-and-model attribute.
1240
1241
1242CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.11
1243
1244 - Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF
1245 files.
1246 - Added support for PostScript functions in PDF
1247 files.
1248 - Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting
1249 CUPS printer drivers to SAMBA/Windows clients.
1250 - Added preliminary support for Darwin/MacOS X.
1251 - The CUPS-Add-Printer operation no longer allows
1252 arbitrary scheme names in device URIs to be used - it
1253 now restricts the available schemes to those found in
1254 the device list (lpinfo -m).
1255 - The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not
1256 handle more than IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a
1257 1setOf attribute. These functions have been updated
1258 to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
1259 IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation
1260 increment. [this caused some versions of the
1261 GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number of media
1262 options exceeded 100...]
1263 - The scheduler could crash when BrowseShortNames
1264 was set to "No".
1265 - The scheduler did not prevent MaxClients from being
1266 set to 0, which could cause the scheduler to go in an
1267 infinite loop when accepting a request.
1268 - Made some performance optimizations in the ippRead()
1269 functions to make IPP request/response processing
1270 faster.
1271 - The accept/reject/enable/disable command did not
1272 support properly support the "-h" or default
1273 server name.
1274 - The scheduler did not save the quota configuration
1275 when the job-quota-period attribute was set to 0.
1276 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables did not
1277 support printer instances.
1278 - The text filter now handles more types of boldface and
1279 underline formatting.
1280 - The cupsTempFd() function did not fail if the
1281 temporary directory did not exist; this would cause it
1282 to loop indefinitely instead of returning an error
1283 (-1).
1284 - Stopping (disabling) a printer class did not stop jobs
1285 from printing to printers in that class.
1286 - The cupsGetDests() function was sending the
1287 requested-attributes attribute as a name instead of a
1288 keyword; this caused a serious performance problem on
1289 slower systems since more information had to be
1290 transferred from server to client.
1291 - The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in
1292 things like the job title. This had the potential for
1293 browser-based security violations (on the browser's
1294 machine); bug report from SuSE.
1295 - The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as
1296 case-insensitive when doing quota and allow/deny
1297 processing.
1298 - The lp command sent the "request ID is ..." message
1299 to stderr instead of stdout...
1300 - The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files,
1301 adding a showpage command to the files as needed.
1302 - The configure script checked for the <stdlib.h> header
1303 file before the JPEG libraries; since the JPEG headers
1304 can define HAVE_STDLIB_H, the configure check would
1305 cause the JPEG check to fail on some systems.
1306 - The scheduler now supports localized banner files,
1307 using the subdirectory approach, e.g. the "es"
1308 subdirectory under /usr/share/cups/banners is used for
1309 the Spanish banner files.
1310 - Updated the scheduler so it knows the correct
1311 language abbreviation to use for all supported
1312 PPD LanguageVersion values. The new code also
1313 supports country codes as well, so "English-GB"
1314 maps to the "en_GB" locale.
1315 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support
1316 anonymous printing (no username specified).
1317 While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179,
1318 MacOS clients do not send the REQUIRED username
1319 information when printing via LPD.
1320 - Added many warning and informational messages
1321 to cups-lpd where they were missing.
1322 - Added Czech message file contributed by SuSE.
1323 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now returns a non-zero
1324 status if an invalid destination or job ID is
1325 provided.
1326 - The scheduler did not honor the KeepAlive setting in
1327 cupsd.conf.
1328 - Increased the size of the file read/write buffers to
1329 32k.
1330 - *BSD static library creation fixes.
1331 - Use mkstemps() instead of tmpnam() in pdftops whenever
1332 possible.
1333 - Added httpGetHostByName() function as a wrapper around
1334 gethostbyname() - some implementations of this
1335 function do not support IP addresses (e.g. MacOS X.)
1336 - Added casts to all printf's of file lengths, since
1337 there is currently no standard way of formatting long
1338 long values.
1339 - The client filename field was not cleared in all
1340 instances, resulting in old form data being submitted
1341 to CGIs.
1342 - The httpConnect*() functions now try all available
1343 addresses for a host when connecting for the first
1344 time.
1345 - The pstoraster filter would "lose" all drawing
1346 commands when the PageSize was set but the printer
1347 bitmap was not reallocated. This was most noticeable
1348 with the output from StarOffice 6 beta and would
1349 result in a blank page being output...
1350 - The IPP backend was sending a PAGE comment even when
1351 printing the output from a filter (it should only send
1352 page comments when printing files directly...)
1353 - The pdftops filter didn't properly map glyph names of
1354 embedded Asian TrueType fonts.
1355 - Changed the CUPS startup script to look for a program
1356 named "cupsd", not just any program with "cupsd" in
1357 the name (this caused the apcupsd UPS monitoring
1358 daemon to be stopped/restarted...)
1359 - The CUPS-Move-Job operation did not change the
1360 internal destination name for held jobs, so moved (but
1361 held) jobs would still show up as queued on the
1362 original destination.
1363 - The cups-polld program didn't send the
1364 requested-attributes attribute in the
1365 CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes requests, which
1366 made it use more CPU and bandwidth than required.
1367 - The scheduler and CUPS API incorrectly added a
1368 job-sheets-default attribute for remote printers. This
1369 caused banner pages to be omitted from client system
1370 prints.
1371
1372
1373CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10-1
1374
1375 - Minor fixes to the filter, systemv, and template
1376 makefiles to install files properly.
1377
1378
1379CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.10
1380
1381 - Added a driver for DYMO label printers.
1382 - Added new ClassifyOverride directive to allow users
1383 to override the classification of individual jobs.
1384 - Added new BrowseProtocols directive to control which
1385 browse protocols are used (currently CUPS and SLP).
1386 - Added SLPv2 support (thanks to Matt Peterson for
1387 contributing the initial implementation for CUPS.)
1388 - Adding a raw printer on a remote CUPS server now
1389 correctly redirects PPD file requests to the remote
1390 server.
1391 - The serial backend now limits writes to 1/10th
1392 second worth of data to avoid buffer overflows
1393 with some types of flow control.
1394 - The scheduler did not properly process PUT requests,
1395 so configuration files could not be uploaded to the
1396 server.
1397 - The scheduler did not strip trailing whitespace on
1398 lines in the configuration files.
1399 - The httpWrite() function did not transition the PUT
1400 request to the HTTP_STATUS state to get the status
1401 from the server.
1402 - The scheduler did not properly handle trailing null
1403 ("-") filters when testing a driver that sent data
1404 to the file: pseudo-backend.
1405 - The IPP backend now only sends a document-format of
1406 "application/vnd.cups-raw" when printing to another
1407 CUPS server using a local printer driver or interface
1408 script. Previously the job's document format was
1409 used, which was incorrect.
1410 - The lpadmin command didn't use the ppd-name attribute
1411 with the -m option; this prevented the use of the
1412 "raw" model from the command-line.
1413 - The pstoraster filter output draft (1-bit) 6-color
1414 output in the wrong order; this resulted in yellow
1415 being printed instead of black on Stylus Photo
1416 printers.
1417 - The pdftops filter did not have the Japanese and
1418 Chinese text support compiled into it.
1419 - The IPP and AppSocket backends did not clear the
1420 "waiting for print job to complete" status message,
1421 which caused some confusion... :)
1422 - The serial backend now opens the port in "no delay"
1423 mode to avoid DCD detection problems with some OS's.
1424
1425
1426CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9-1
1427
1428 - The configure script did not substitute the
1429 correct user and group names.
1430 - The configure script did not use the full path
1431 to the install-sh script when it was used.
1432 - The pstoraster filter did not correctly support
1433 DuplexTumble mode for printers that used flip
1434 duplexing.
1435 - The cups.list.in file was missing from the
1436 distribution.
1437 - The New DeskJet series driver did not use the
1438 correct OrderDependency for the Duplex option.
1439 - Use read() instead of fread() to read piped
1440 print files in lpr/lp. This avoids a bug in the
1441 HP-UX 10.20 fread() function.
1442 - Updated the pstoraster filter to use the MIPS_FIXADE
1443 system call under IRIX to fix bus error problems on
1444 R12000 processors (Ghostscript is not 64-bit clean...)
1445 - Some Xerox PPD files (most notably the Phaser 790)
1446 have illegal whitespace in the option keyword in the
1447 OpenUI line. This caused the PageRegion option to not
1448 be recognized properly for the Phaser 790.
1449
1450
1451CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.9
1452
1453 - Revamped the configure script to use a modular
1454 approach for the various tests.
1455 - Added --with-openssl-* options to properly reference
1456 the OpenSSL libraries in DSOs.
1457 - Added --with-cups-user and --with-cups-group
1458 options to specify the default user and group for
1459 CUPS.
1460 - Added AIX shared library support.
1461 - Added AIX device discovery for the serial and
1462 parallel ports.
1463 - Now use install program or script to install
1464 directories, files, and symlinks.
1465 - Updated pstops filter to use strict handling of EPS
1466 files embedded in a PostScript document. The %%EOF
1467 handling in 1.1.8 caused some dvips files not to
1468 print.
1469 - Fixed yet another memory allocation bug in pstoraster
1470 that would cause it to crash. This fix also ensures
1471 that all memory allocations are done on (at least) a
1472 64-bit boundary.
1473 - Fixed Digest authentication - httpGetSubField() didn't
1474 skip the Digest keyword.
1475 - The scheduler did not properly handle Digest
1476 authentication with the new multiple-group support.
1477 - The scheduler did not allow usernames that were
1478 not in the UNIX password file to be used for Digest
1479 authentication from passwd.md5.
1480 - The scheduler could not scan PPD files that only used
1481 a carriage return (i.e. MacOS PPD files); the new code
1482 is also about 40% faster, so servers with thousands of
1483 PPD files should start much faster now.
1484 - The scheduler now stores the PPD file size and
1485 modification times in the ppds.dat file, so it can now
1486 incrementally update the PPD database from the model
1487 directory, resulting in significantly faster startup
1488 times.
1489 - The lpinfo command did not return a non-zero status
1490 code if an error occurred.
1491 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's UpdateJob() function.
1492 Basically, all jobs shared the same status buffer, and
1493 the "buffer start" pointer could point to 1 byte
1494 before the beginning of the buffer. The new
1495 implementation uses a separate buffer for each job and
1496 eliminates the buffer start bug.
1497 - The IPP backend would send N copies of a document if
1498 the receiving device didn't support the copies
1499 attribute, even if the upstream driver already added
1500 the necessary commands to generate the copies. This
1501 was most noticeable with HP printers where N * N
1502 copies would come out instead of N.
1503 - The PostScript filter (pstops) did not properly handle
1504 duplex printing on inkjet printers that provide this
1505 option. Copies would be put on the front and back
1506 sides of the duplexed page, and the filter did not
1507 output an even number of pages.
1508 - The backends always caught SIGTERM after they
1509 connected to the printer. This prevented raw jobs
1510 from being cancelled early.
1511 - The cupsSetDests() function now removes any printers,
1512 instances, and options that are not defined by the
1513 user or server. This should prevent old system-wide
1514 options from being used in individual user accounts.
1515 - Updated the EPSON printer driver and added PPDs for
1516 the newer EPSON Stylus printers that only support the
1517 "ESC i" graphics command.
1518 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to add remote
1519 printers to a local class.
1520 - The lpadmin command didn't allow you to set the
1521 options (quotas, etc.) for a class.
1522 - The scheduler did not load or save the
1523 job-sheets-default attribute for classes.
1524 - The scheduler did not automatically recreate remote
1525 printers that were part of a class.
1526 - It was possible for a printer class to list the same
1527 printer more than once.
1528 - The scheduler now makes a backup copy of classes.conf
1529 and printers.conf before writing the new file.
1530 - The lppasswd program incorrectly asked for a new
1531 password when deleting an existing MD5 password
1532 account.
1533 - The scheduler did not match "/printers/name.ppd"
1534 against a location of "/printers/name".
1535 - The client code did not always handle HTTP encryption
1536 upgrades properly.
1537 - The client code now caches the last Digest password so
1538 it can retry using a new resource path or nonce value,
1539 which are included in the MD5 sum sent to the server.
1540 This should eliminate unnecessary password prompts
1541 when using Digest authentication.
1542 - The lppasswd command didn't have a man page.
1543 - Updated the PJL detection rules to allow the universal
1544 escape to occur anywhere in the first 128 bytes of the
1545 file.
1546 - The cups-polld program would poll servers continuously
1547 with no delay if there was an error contacting the
1548 server.
1549 - The IPP backend would send an empty job-name or
1550 requesting-user-name attribute if the corresponding
1551 job attribute was an empty string. While this is
1552 allowed by the IPP specification, some HP JetDirect
1553 implementations return a client-error-bad-request
1554 error if an empty name attribute value is received.
1555 The new code only sends these attributes if they are
1556 not the empty string.
1557 - At least some versions of the HP JetDirect firmware
1558 do not correctly implement IPP. Added additional
1559 checks to the IPP backend to eliminate extra,
1560 unsupported attributes which should normally be
1561 ignored by a compliant IPP device.
1562 - The scheduler did not copy the complete list of
1563 supported file types into the
1564 document-format-supported attribute. This caused
1565 clients to not send the local file type (such as
1566 application/vnd.cups-raw for raw print files) and the
1567 corresponding bad output in some cases.
1568 - The scheduler did not fully copy attributes from a
1569 set-job-attributes request - string attributes were
1570 only referenced, which could cause cupsd to crash
1571 or behave irratically.
1572 - The lp command didn't send the right value for the
1573 job-hold-until attribute when "-H resume" was
1574 specified.
1575 - The IPP backend now returns as soon as a job is
1576 completed or reported as "pending-held".
1577 - Added new ImplicitAnyClasses and HideImplicitMembers
1578 directives to the cupsd.conf file to make implicit
1579 classes more usable/transparent to the user.
1580 - Clients can now (with the appropriate authentication)
1581 retrieve and update the server configuration files
1582 using HTTP GET and PUT requests.
1583 - The web interface didn't allow you to modify the
1584 location or description of the printer.
1585 - The pdftops filter now uses its own temporary file
1586 function to work with PDF files using LZW compression
1587 (which use the uncompress program or gunzip)
1588 - The SystemGroup directive now supports specification of
1589 multiple groups.
1590 - Added new Include directive to cupsd.conf, a la
1591 Apache.
1592 - Added new pseudo-driver/PPD called "raw" that can be
1593 used to create/convert a raw queue. This also allows
1594 raw queues to be created in the web interface.
1595 - The pdftops filter didn't handle image objects that
1596 used JPEG and Flate compression together.
1597 - The pstops filter counted pages wrong when using the
1598 N-up and even/odd printing options. This prevented
1599 the page-ranges option from working properly.
1600 - Added another fix to pstoraster for a bus error
1601 condition caused by a lack of parenthesis in the
1602 Ghostscript code.
1603 - Added new "natural-scaling" option which scales the
1604 natural size of the image (percent of natural image
1605 size instead of percent of page size.)
1606 - The lppasswd program is now setuid to the CUPS user
1607 instead of root.
1608 - The PPD functions did not allow for PPD files that
1609 defined the page sizes and margins before the page
1610 size options.
1611 - The mime.types file now checks for the PJL "LANGUAGE =
1612 Postscript" command for PostScript files.
1613 - The scheduler did not truncate file: output files.
1614 - The PPD file reading code did not handle options with
1615 raw quotes (") in the human-readable names.
1616 - The pdftops filter now remaps the space character when
1617 (bad) PDF files contain a .notdef glyph for the space
1618 character.
1619
1620
1621CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.8
1622
1623 - Updated spec file to generate separate cups-pstoraster
1624 package for pstoraster.
1625 - The spec file wasn't setting LOGDIR in the install.
1626 - The scheduler might restart a stopped printer after
1627 stopping a print job. Thanks to Florent
1628 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1629 - The init script showed run level 0 for the Red Hat
1630 chkconfig program. This is incorrect because Red Hat
1631 doesn't use run level 0 for shutdown scripts.
1632 - The IPP backend did not handle the
1633 client-error-not-found error when checking the status
1634 of the job that was sent. This caused remote queues
1635 to stop on client machines when the server had job
1636 history disabled.
1637 - Added httpConnectEncrypt() function to avoid
1638 performance penalty for setting up encrypted
1639 connections initially.
1640 - Use httpConnectEncrypt() in all client apps and in the
1641 CUPS API to ensure consistent usage of encryption
1642 throughout.
1643 - Jobs weren't queued to remote classes (fix from
1644 Richard Begg.)
1645 - AIX changes from Richard Begg.
1646 - Fixed the pstops fix for GNOME output - no longer use
1647 the page numbers in the %%Page: comment since GNOME
1648 puts a filename instead (!?@!#?!). There is still an
1649 issue with N-up printing since GNOME defines its fonts
1650 in the first page instead of the document setup section
1651 (pages must be independent according to the DSC spec)
1652 People with GNOME printing problems should consult bug
1653 #54489...
1654 - The imagetops filter produced PAGE: messages when
1655 generating PostScript for a non-PostScript printer
1656 (only affects page-label and Classification
1657 options.)
1658 - The updated pdftops filter was looking for an options
1659 file called xpdf.conf instead of pdftops.conf.
1660
1661
1662CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.7
1663
1664 - Configuration script changes, including new
1665 "--with-docdir=/dir" option to relocate CUPS
1666 documentation and web content according to your
1667 favorite version of the FHS.
1668 - Documentation updates for encryption, SLP, etc.
1669 - New Software Test Plan and automated test script to
1670 test CUPS prior to installation.
1671 - All scheduler configuration files are now case
1672 insensitive to match Apache.
8372ad6b 1673 - Added support for Apache ListenBackLog, Require,
1674 Satisfy, <Limit>, <LimitExcept>, and LimitRequestSize
d2503e02 1675 directives.
1676 - Added support for all Apache log levels...
1677 - Added support for "double" HostNameLookups.
1678 - Added new "RunAsUser" directive to support non-root
1679 configurations on the standard (priviledged) ports.
1680 - Added support for non-root invocation of the lpd
1681 backend (does no reserve a priviledged port, which
1682 might not work with some LPD servers...)
1683 - Added new PrintcapFormat directive to control the
1684 output format of the printcap file (BSD or Solaris
1685 formats are supported at present.)
1686 - The CUPS directory service routines now handle
1687 ECONNREFUSED errors gracefully rather than shutting
1688 all browsing off.
1689 - ippErrorString() now returns the recommended error
1690 messages from the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
1691 document.
1692 - Fixed a minor IPP compliance issue with responses
1693 to requests without the attributes-charset or
1694 attributes-natural-language attributes.
1695 - Sun fix: need httpFlush() call for chunked IPP
1696 requests in cupsDoFileRequest().
1697 - httpConnect() now looks up "localhost" by name and
1698 by address (127.0.0.1) for users the go to the
1699 trouble of removing the required localhost entry
1700 in /etc/hosts or on their DNS server...
1701 - Added support for Linux 2.4.x devfs parallel port
1702 filenames (/dev/parallel/N).
1703 - cupsDo[File]Request() and cupsGetPPD() no longer
1704 block trying to reconnect to a crashed or inaccessable
1705 server.
1706 - Added new ppdEmitJCL() function to better handle
1707 PJL commands from PPD files.
1708 - A bug in UpdateJob() would cause the scheduler to
1709 consume 100% CPU until another request was submitted.
1710 - The cancel command did not support the "-" option to
1711 cancel all jobs on all printers.
1712 - The cancel and lprm commands did not support cancelling
1713 the next/current job in the queue.
1714 - The pdftops and pstoraster filters were using unsafe
1715 temporary file functions; while this is not a problem
1716 in normal configurations (the CUPS temporary directory
1717 is restricted), they now use the cupsTempFd() function.
1718 - The mime.types file was missing the recognition rule
1719 for Sun Raster images.
1720 - The admin CGI was passing a printer make string to
1721 ippSetCGIVars() that was being replaced in that
1722 function.
1723 - "lpoptions -l" would resave the options...
1724 - The EPSON drivers now send the "end packet mode"
1725 command when printing to USB devices.
1726 - The scheduler initialized certificates before loading
1727 the cupsd.conf file.
1728 - The scheduler used /dev/random to collect random data,
1729 which could block if insufficient entropy information
1730 had been collected by the kernel. Now use
1731 /dev/urandom.
1732 - Fixed a bug in the whitespace skipping code in
1733 httpGetSubField().
1734 - The LPD backend now supports a new "order" option:
1735 "lpd://server/queue?order=control,data" (default) and
1736 "lpd://server/queue?order=data,control".
1737 - The scheduler enforced a 30 second timeout on all
1738 clients regardless of the Timeout directive and if a
1739 CGI was currently running.
1740 - cupsParseOptions() now sets boolean options to
1741 option=true or option=false.
1742 - The "percent complete" calculations in the LPD backend
1743 could overflow on large files, causing the percentage
1744 to wrap to 0 every 40MB or so.
1745 - Fixed a memory reallocation bug in pstoraster that
1746 could cause it to crash.
1747 - The LPD backend now sanitizes the job title to avoid
1748 potential problems on remote LPD servers.
1749 - The lp command did not send the requesting-user-name
1750 attribute when altering a job.
1751 - The pstops filter did not handle PostScript files with
1752 lines longer than 8191 bytes.
1753 - The scheduler no longer uses inet_addr() to convert IP
1754 addresses in dot format (mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp) to the
1755 32-bit format, since it will not work for IPv6
1756 addresses.
1757 - New "Classification" directive to force labeling of
1758 the current classification on each page.
1759 - New "page-label" attribute to add per-page labels
1760 ("For Official Use Only", "Draft", etc.)
1761 - The scheduler now sets the HTTPS environment variable
1762 for CGI programs when a client connects using
1763 encryption.
1764 - Fixed a recursion bug in the scheduler that could
1765 cause cupsd to crash when a printer was removed.
1766 - The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables didn't
1767 support instances.
1768 - Dropped the "file" backend from the device list that
1769 is reported, since it is only available for *testing*
1770 and should never be used in a production environment.
1771 The file: device can still be used, but it won't show
1772 up in the list of devices from lpinfo or the web
1773 interface.
1774 - Added support for /dev/lpa# parallel ports under *BSD.
1775 - Added META variables to the CGI header template to
1776 prevent caching of the results.
1777 - Fixed an unaligned memory buffer for the pstoraster
1778 clist states; this caused bus errors for some
1779 combinations of printers, drivers, and options.
1780 - Re-added black reduction for colorful colors; this
1781 helps to prevent dark colors from getting desaturated.
1782 (only used when converting RGB to CMYK)
1783 - Added two new directives - MaxJobsPerPrinter and
1784 MaxJobsPerUser - to allow an administrator to set
1785 the maximum number of pending jobs in a queue or
1786 submitted by a user.
1787 - The scheduler no longer stops a printer if it can't
1788 create the status pipe or run the filters or backend.
1789 This will allow heavily loaded servers to service
1790 clients or start print jobs as the load allows.
1791 - Fixed a bug in the Set-Job-Attributes code that could
1792 crash the scheduler (patch from Martin Zielinski)
1793 - cupsSetDests() did not quote option values with
1794 embedded spaces.
1795 - Added support for the Enable-Printer and
1796 Disable-Printer extension operations (same as
1797 CUPS-Accept-Jobs and CUPS-Reject-Jobs.)
1798 - The AppSocket and IPP backends now wait for the print
1799 job to be finished before exiting; this should prevent
1800 the loss of print jobs with older JetDirect firmware
1801 and make consecutive print jobs print faster.
1802 - The BMP loading code did not handle resolution values
1803 of 0. This is a problem with BMP image files produced
1804 by the GIMP.
1805 - The HTTP Upgrade code (upgrade to TLS encryption)
1806 bypassed the authentication checks.
1807 - The HTTP Upgrade code did not send a 426 status code
1808 to the client and end the current request. This caused
1809 a race condition between the client and server for the
1810 upgrade to TLS.
1811 - Fixed a bug in the EOF and Trailer detection code in
1812 the pstops filter.
1813 - The imagetoraster filter did not add the margins to
1814 the custom page size in the raster header.
1815 - The imagetops filter did not adjust the custom page
1816 size to the size of the printed image.
1817 - The imagetops filter did not include DSC comments
1818 which are required by some printers.
1819 - The imagetops filter did not insert newlines in
1820 Base85 encoded output, causing files to contain
1821 lines longer than 255 characters (violation of the
1822 DSC).
1823 - Added support for the DeskJet 900 series duplexer
1824 and CRET color modes in the HP driver.
1825 - Added support for PPD-defined margins in the HP
1826 driver.
1827 - Fixed the debugging output from pstoraster - the
1828 font list was not terminated by a newline.
1829 - Some versions of the HP-UX pam_unix authentication
1830 module apparently do not pass the appdata_ptr argument
1831 to the conversation function, preventing the scheduler
1832 from authenticating users using PAM under HP-UX. A
1833 workaround using a static variable has been added to
1834 address this problem.
1835 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler SortPrinters() function
1836 that could cause printers to disappear or the
1837 scheduler to crash when adding a printer.
1838 - Changed the pstops filter to not do per-page filtering
1839 if the file does not conform to at least version 3.0
1840 of the document structuring conventions. This seems
1841 to "fix" printing with broken apps.
1842 - The image filters did not handle older TIFF files that
1843 lacked the samples-per-pixel and bits-per-pixel tags.
1844 - Added new cupsGetJobs() and cupsFreeJobs() functions
1845 to manage print jobs.
1846 - cupsEncodeOptions() would encode names of 0 length and
1847 cupsAddOption() and cupsParseOptions() would add names
1848 of 0 length.
1849 - The scheduler might block waiting for status messages
1850 after starting a new print job. Thanks to Florent
1851 Guiliani for finding this bug!
1852
1853
1854CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-3
1855
1856 - The configure script put the JPEG library before the
1857 TIFF library; this caused problems in some
1858 configurations since the TIFF library also supports
1859 JPEG compression of TIFF images.
1860 - Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
1861 admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
1862 Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)
1863 - The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
1864 the filename when called with a filename buffer of
1865 NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)
1866 - FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
1867 /dev/ulptN.
1868 - DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
1869 classes it was a member of.
1870 - DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
1871 implicit status of a class.
1872 - DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
1873 from implicit classes.
1874 - StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
1875 and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.
1876 - LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
1877 instead of job-media-sheets-completed. This would
1878 prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
1879 of the scheduler.
1880 - The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
1881 using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
1882 printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
1883 the /#copies variable anymore.
1884 - The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
1885 option.
1886 - The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
1887 errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
1888 for a bad-request error)
1889 - Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
1890 unimplemented, not invalid.
1891 - Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.
1892 - Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
1893 "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.
1894 - RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript
1895 - SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
1896 (pstoraster).
1897 - SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
1898 which are not used.
1899 - SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().
1900 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1901 cgi_initialize_string().
1902 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
1903 ippSetCGIVars()
1904 - SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
1905 sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
1906 leaks.
1907 - SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
1908 fails.
1909 - SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
1910 setuid() calls.
1911 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
1912 calls.
1913 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()
1914 - SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
1915 bad input.
1916 - SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
1917 missing hex digits.
1918
1919
1920CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-2
1921
1922 - Added changes to support NetBSD startup scripts.
1923 - Added separate compiler options for pstoraster
1924 (Ghostscript) to avoid compiler-induced errors
1925 from Ghostscript's twisted code.
1926 - The mime.types file contained syntax errors.
1927 - Updated the *BSD USB device filenames to use
1928 the /dev/unlptN files so that the USB device
1929 is not reset prior to printing (causes print
1930 corruption on many printers)
1931 - Added new cupsTempFd() function to avoid serious
1932 security bug in glibc fopen() function. The glibc
1933 fopen() function unlinks a file before creating it,
1934 which opens up possible symlink attacks.
1935 - Now reject 0-length names in add-printer and add-class
1936 requests.
1937 - Fix for pstoraster when ZLIB is not available.
1938 - cupsGetPPD() didn't reconnect when a HTTP connection
1939 was lost.
1940 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't check that the
1941 value from gethostbyname() was a valid IPv4 address.
1942 - SuSE fix: httpConnect() didn't allow file descriptor 0
1943 to be used for a socket.
1944 - SuSE fix: ippRead() didn't confirm that all values in
1945 a set were numeric or string types.
1946 - SuSE fix: lppasswd race condition fixes.
1947 - SuSE fix: directive names could overflow buffer when
1948 reading *.conf files.
1949 - SuSE fix: HEAD requests for PPD files did not use the
1950 same logic as GET requests.
1951 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when adding
1952 /index.html to requested directory name.
1953 - SuSE fix: possible buffer overflow when converting
1954 IPP attributes to string options for filters.
1955 - SuSE fix: creating file: device output with mode 0666
1956 instead of mode 0600.
1957 - SuSE fix: creating job info files with mode 0640
1958 instead of 0600.
1959 - SuSE fix: don't rely on snprintf() for including
1960 system name in log filenames.
1961 - SuSE fix: add bounds checking when copying quoted
1962 and hex strings.
1963
1964
1965CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6-1
1966
1967 - Added configure check for getting the correct
1968 strftime() format string; %c is not Y2k safe,
1969 and %KC and NULL are not universally supported.
1970
1971
1972CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.6
1973
1974 - Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()
1975 - Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
1976 POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.
1977 - Resolution options were not being passed into the
1978 filter programs properly.
1979 - The default compiler options for GCC no longer include
1980 "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
1981 versions of GCC.
1982 - CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
1983 cancelled in StartJob().
1984 - The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
1985 written with restricted permissions.
1986 - The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
1987 had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.
1988 - If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type
1989 of a print job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
1990 - The web interface now provides a job_printer_name
1991 value for any corresponding job_printer_uri value.
1992 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address
1993 and hostname as well as all commands and errors in the
1994 syslog file.
1995 - The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats
1996 and only specifies the document format if it is
1997 supported. This makes IPP printing to network print
1998 servers and cards more reliable without affecting the
1999 capabilities of CUPS servers.
2000 - The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-
2001 readable dates and times for the web interfaces.
2002 - The HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
2003 signals and eject the current page when a job is
2004 cancelled.
2005 - Fixed bug in CGI code - did not ignore control
2006 characters (e.g. newlines) in form data. This caused
2007 sporatic web interface problems.
2008 - The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced
2009 the optional document-format attribute; the new code
2010 uses the resolved MIME type instead.
2011 - The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing
2012 whitespace.
2013 - The MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
2014 instead of an integer.
2015 - The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
2016 BrowseInterval was set to 0.
2017 - The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
2018 and user-level access control.
2019 - Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
2020 encryption.
2021 - The client code did not consume the response to the
2022 OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.
2023 - The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
2024 when responding to an OPTIONS request.
2025 - Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
2026 to the man page.
2027 - The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and
2028 increases the interval to 30 seconds. This should
2029 provide faster printing when multiple jobs/files are
2030 queued for a printer.
2031 - The filters and backends no longer buffer output to
2032 stderr. This should provide much more accurate status
2033 reporting.
2034
2035
2036CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-2
2037
2038 - Fixed configure check for OpenSSL to work with RSA
2039 code.
2040 - Added configure check for <sys/ioctl.h>, and use this
2041 check in backend/serial.c.
2042 - Updated configure script handling of data,
2043 configuration, and state directories to use datadir,
2044 sysconfdir, and localstatedir variables.
2045 - NetBSD uses different serial port filenames than
2046 FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
2047 - The pdftops filter didn't need some X-specific files.
2048 - The scheduler makefile doesn't do a chown anymore when
2049 installing (cupsd did this automatically on startup
2050 anyways)
2051
2052
2053CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5-1
2054
2055 - There was a typo in the top-level Makefile
2056 - The top-level Makefile did not install an init script
2057 for run level 5.
2058 - The configure script did not add the "crypto" library
2059 when checking for the OpenSSL library.
2060 - The OKIDATA PPD files were missing.
2061 - The config.h.in file defined the wrong version number.
2062 - The serial backend did not define "funky_hex" under *BSD.
2063 - Updated the Visual C++ project files and some of the
2064 CUPS API sources to compile under Windows again.
2065
2066
2067CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.5
2068
2069 - Security updates - new default configuration does
2070 not broadcast printer information and only allows
2071 access from the local system.
2072 - EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally
2073 supports TLS/SSL encryption via the OpenSSL library.
2074 - Documentation updates.
2075 - Makefile/configure script updates.
2076 - The RPM spec file didn't work out-of-the-box under
2077 RedHat or Mandrake.
2078 - Minor code cleanup to remove extraneous compiler
2079 warnings.
2080 - cupsTempFile() was using %p for the temporary
2081 filename; this should have been %08x (just 8 digit
2082 hex)
2083 - Deleting a printer with active print jobs would still
2084 crash the server.
2085 - ippWrite() and ipp_write_file() didn't send the
2086 correct value length for name-with-language and
2087 text-with-language attributes.
2088 - Updated IPP code to support copied strings (that
2089 should not be freed); this provides slightly more
2090 efficient IPP server performance.
2091 - Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
2092 - httpGets() could go into an infinite loop if a line
2093 longer than the input buffer size was sent by a
2094 client. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service
2095 attack.
2096 - The lpstat and CUPS API functions now request only the
2097 data required when getting the list of printer or
2098 class information. This should improve performance
2099 with large numbers of printers on slower machines.
2100 - The scheduler was always enforcing the FilterLimit,
2101 even if FilterLimit was set to 0.
2102 - Updated the Linux USB backend to support Mandrake's
2103 /dev/usb/usblp# filenames.
2104 - The PRINTER and LPDEST environment variables did not
2105 override the lpoptions default printer.
2106 - The PPD read functions incorrectly included trailing
2107 characters (usually whitespace) after quoted string
2108 attributes.
2109 - The multiple-document-handling attribute handling code
2110 did not check for the correct value for collated
2111 copies (separate-documents-uncollated-copies).
2112 - The EPSON driver did not work with OKIDATA printers in
2113 EPSON emulation mode (needed change-emulation command)
2114 - The HP-GL/2 filter did not scale the plot properly in
2115 scale mode 2.
2116 - Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
2117 - The httpSeparate() function didn't handle passwords
2118 that started with a number.
2119 - ippDelete() could free the character set string
2120 multiple times in name-with-language and
2121 text-with-language attributes.
2122 - The scheduler would access freed memory right after
2123 freeing it (for debug messages); these parts of the
2124 code have been reordered to avoid this situation
2125 which was causing sporatic errors and crashes.
2126 - The ppdClose() function didn't free all of the strings
2127 in the ppd_file_t structure.
2128 - The LoadAllJobs() function in the scheduler did not
2129 close the spool directory.
2130 - Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to
2131 snprintf's, even if the destination buffer is
2132 larger than the source string(s); this protects
2133 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2134 - Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and
2135 global variables, even if the destination buffer is
2136 larger than the source string; this protects
2137 against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
2138 - The CUPS certificate functions didn't use the
2139 CUPS_SERVERROOT environment variable when set.
2140 - The directory services code was copying instead of
2141 comparing the remote printer info, resulting in
2142 unnecessary updates of the printer attributes for
2143 remote printers.
2144 - Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw
2145 printing of PCL and ESC/P files; PJL headers are
2146 parsed to differentiate between PostScript and
2147 PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of
2148 the reports of SAMBA printing problems due to
2149 the missing "-oraw" or "-l" options.
2150 - The mimeLoadType() function didn't handle the
2151 3-argument contains() function.
2152 - The LoadPPDs() function in the scheduler didn't
2153 properly set the alloc_ppds variable or handle a PPD
2154 database containing 0 printers.
2155 - The scheduler FindAvailablePrinter() function didn't
2156 use the same queuing logic as the CheckJobs()
2157 function. This caused classes to stall if a remote
2158 printer was always busy.
2159 - Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class
2160 round-robin style. This should prevent the first
2161 server in the class from bearing the brunt of the
2162 jobs.
2163 - The scheduler's LoadAllJobs() function didn't always
2164 restore remote printers for queued jobs on startup.
2165 - The serial backend didn't support the higher baud
2166 rates with the old termios interface. It now supports
2167 57600 and 115200 baud.
2168 - The serial backend now supports different types of
2169 flow control; previously it ignored the flow=XYZ
2170 option in the device URI.
2171 - The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control,
2172 which is popular on dot-matrix printers (access with
2173 "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
2174 - Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for
2175 jobs. The new attribute provides the hostname or
2176 IP address of the machine that submitted the job.
2177 - The set-job-attributes code no longer allows read-only
2178 job attributes to be changed.
2179 - Expanded the click area for the navigation bar in the
2180 web interface.
2181 - Updated the lp and cancel commands to support all of
2182 the Solaris print options (some are simply ignored
2183 since they do not map)
2184 - Updated the scheduler to limit the number of file
2185 descriptors to the maximum select() set size. This
2186 was causing problems on Solaris systems where the
2187 max FD count was increased beyond 1024.
2188 - The scheduler's LoadDevices() function was getting
2189 interrupted by the SIGCHLD signal handler; now ignore
2190 child signals while loading devices.
2191 - Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers
2192 and classes.
2193 - Removed black/CMY adjustment code from the PS and
2194 image file RIPs; it was interfering with some CUPS
2195 driver dithering code.
2196 - The lpc program stopped listing the queue statuses
2197 after the first active printer.
2198 - The cups-lpd program used an output format that the
2199 Solaris printing system did not understand.
2200 - Updated the lpq program to use the Solaris format
2201 except under Tru64 UNIX.
2202 - Some DEC PPD files incorrectly use "Off" for the null
2203 value in UI constraints. Added "Off" to the list of
2204 accepted null values.
2205 - Changed the *BSD define constants to __*BSD__ in all
2206 of the backends.
2207 - Added support for "lpstat printername", which is an
2208 undocumented feature in Solaris.
2209 - The HP-GL/2 filter now only sets the plot size if it
2210 is set in the plot file.
2211 - The lpmove command wasn't sending the requesting
2212 user name, causing it to always fail.
2213 - Updated the cupsTempFile() code to use GetTempPath()
2214 under Windows.
2215 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon didn't limit the number of
2216 data files accepted, didn't use cupsTempFile(),
2217 didn't handle control file job information in any
2218 order, and didn't free job options after printing
2219 a file.
2220 - The scheduler copy_banner() function did not
2221 explicitly set the owner and permissions of the banner
2222 files, which could prevent the banner pages from
2223 printing on some systems.
2224 - The lpstat program wasn't listing remote classes.
2225 - The scheduler did not verify that the printer-uri
2226 attribute was specified in all requests that required
2227 it.
2228
2229
2230CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.4
2231
2232 - Makefile and configure script fixes.
2233 - **** Changed the default Printcap setting **** to
2234 /etc/printcap. There are just too many people asking
2235 why application XYZ doesn't see their printers!
2236 - The web admin interface now displays an error if it
2237 can't get the list of printer drivers from cupsd.
2238 - The IPP backend was putting the copies option before
2239 the other job options were set. This caused the IPP
2240 request to contain attribute groups in the wrong
2241 order, which prevented remote printing.
2242 - Added checks in scheduler to free memory used for
2243 IPP requests and language information when closing
2244 a client connection.
2245 - Fixed the duplex option in the HP LaserJet driver. It
2246 should now work with all LaserJet printers (and
2247 compatibles)
2248 - The add-printer web interface didn't initialize the
2249 "old info" data pointer, which caused random crashes
2250 on many OS's.
2251 - Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1
2252 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality.
2253 - Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in
2254 Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard
2255 Adobe attributes on all platforms.
2256 - Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for
2257 color depth changes as well as size/resolution
2258 changes. This removes an ordering constraint on
2259 the color, page size, and resolution options in
2260 PPD files.
2261 - The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set
2262 when the destination printer supported it. This
2263 caused problems when printing text files to other
2264 CUPS servers.
2265 - Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild
2266 the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the
2267 dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking
2268 the dates.)
2269 - Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the
2270 web interfaces) to only filter valid string values.
2271 - The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages
2272 incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to
2273 be clipped.
2274
2275
2276CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.3
2277
2278 - Makefile fixes.
2279 - RPM spec file changes.
2280 - Documentation updates.
2281 - Enabled pstoraster debug messages for everything
2282 (only logged when LogLevel set to "debug"...)
2283 - Changed the Input/OutputAttributes fix in
2284 pstoraster so that it works on all platforms.
2285 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't set the right green
2286 color value in encoded polylines or text.
2287 - Updated the "fitplot" code to handle plot sizes
2288 specified as "PSwidth,length" and "PSlength,width".
2289 - Updated the Linux parallel and USB backends to open
2290 the device files prior to looking in /proc for
2291 autoprobe info. This makes sure that loadable device
2292 driver modules are in fact loaded...
2293 - Added new FilterLimit directive to limit the number
2294 of processing jobs/filters on a system.
2295 - set-job-attributes didn't change the job-state to
2296 held/pending when the job-hold-until attribute was
2297 specified.
2298 - set-job-attributes didn't save the new job attributes.
2299 - Now change the "requesting-user-name" attribute in
2300 requests from remote systems to "remroot" when an
2301 unauthenticated "root" user is sent. This can be
2302 changed using the new RemoteRoot directive in
2303 cupsd.conf.
2304 - The cancel-job, hold-job, release-job, and restart-job
2305 operations didn't log the authenticated username.
2306 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now checks for a
2307 document-format option before forcing raw mode with
2308 filter mode 'l'.
2309 - The cups-lpd mini-daemon now supports "-o" options
2310 on the command-line (passed by inetd) to set global
2311 defaults for all print queues.
2312 - The pstops filter assumed that a file with a Trailer
2313 comment would also have an EOF comment.
2314 - Added new cupsSetPasswordCB(), cupsSetServer(),
2315 cupsSetUser(), and ippSetPort() functions to better
2316 support client applications (especially GUIs...)
2317 - The CUPS-add-class and CUPS-add-printer operations
2318 didn't reset the printer-name attribute on remote
2319 print queues that had to be renamed when a local
2320 printer was defined with the same name.
2321 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-r" option to
2322 remove options for a printer or instance.
2323 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs no longer allow
2324 class and printer names to begin with a number; this
2325 caused the command-line utilities to become confused.
2326 - The Linux USB backend now looks for both the parallel
2327 and usblp driver names in the device list.
2328 - Added a new FontPath directive to cupsd.conf, and also
2329 a "--with-fontpath" option for the configure script to
2330 specify alternate font paths for pstoraster.
2331 - The CUPS-move-job operation didn't update the
2332 job-printer-uri attribute.
2333 - The scheduler only looked up printers and classes by
2334 name in IPP requests, instead of using the full URI.
2335 This caused problems with KUPS and friends with
2336 remote printers.
2337 - The scheduler now handles better localization of
2338 hostnames (e.g. server is host.foo.com, remote is
2339 host.subfoo.foo.com, localized is not host.subfoo...)
2340 - The scheduler logging functions now use a common
2341 log file checking/rotation function (courtesy of
2342 Crutcher Dunnavant at Red Hat)
2343 - The scheduler could accept more client connections
2344 than it allocated for if more than one Port or Listen
2345 line was present in cupsd.conf.
2346 - Other minor scheduler performance tweeks.
2347 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't support the default
2348 printer set using lpoptions.
2349 - The lpoptions command now supports a "-l" option to
2350 list the printer-specific options and their current
2351 settings.
2352 - The web printer and class lists now show a link to the
2353 default printer or class at the top of the page.
2354 - The text filter now supports pretty printing of shell
2355 and perl scripts as well as C/C++ source files.
2356 - The top and bottom margins were reversed for landscape
2357 text printing.
2358 - The lpq and lprm commands didn't understand printer
2359 instances.
2360 - The scheduler only selected on the first 100 file
2361 descriptors instead of the maximum file descriptor
2362 limit.
2363 - The scheduler client, listener, and mainline functions
2364 now share code to disable and enable monitoring for
2365 new client connections.
2366 - The imagetoraster filter didn't support all of the
2367 required pagedevice parameters.
2368 - The serial backend now checks for 100 serial ports
2369 under Linux.
2370 - The scheduler used sscanf() to pull out the remote
2371 printer location, description, and make/model strings,
2372 but if any of these options was empty then sscanf()
2373 would stop processing.
2374 - Added "debug2" log level to provide a little less
2375 verbose debugging information at the "debug" level.
2376 - The scheduler would crash if you stopped a printer
2377 that was currently printing a job.
2378 - The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs in the cancelled,
2379 aborted, or completed state to be cancelled.
2380 - The image filters did not load TIFF images properly
2381 for bottom-to-top and right-to-left orientations.
2382 - Added new cupsEncodeOptions() function to encode
2383 CUPS options as IPP job attributes.
2384 - The IPP backend, LPD mini-daemon, client commands,
2385 and CUPS API did not properly encode multiple
2386 option values separated by commas.
2387 - Added new scheduler malloc logging in debug mode
2388 (provides summary of total arena size, allocated,
2389 and free bytes once a minute)
2390 - The EPM-based distributions didn't install the
2391 correct symlinks for a few man pages.
2392 - Fixed a memory leak in the scheduler - wasn't
2393 freeing old filters when deleting or renaming
2394 printers.
2395 - The scheduler now queries the primary IP address
2396 for the name of the server and maps any incoming
2397 requests from that address to the server name.
2398 This fixes web admin mapping problems from
2399 server.domain.com to localhost.
2400 - The web printer modify interface now remembers
2401 the previous device and driver settings (except
2402 for serial ports.)
2403 - The job-k-octets attribute is now stored as part of
2404 the job attributes; this preserves the information
2405 after a job is completed when job file history is
2406 turned off.
2407 - Dropped option sub-group parsing code for the moment,
2408 since many Xerox PPD files abuse this feature in PPD
2409 files and don't follow the hierarchy rules.
2410 - Added new wrapper code around options so that duplex
2411 options for some HP printers don't prevent prints.
2412 - Added support for Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX/OSF/1 format
2413 for "lpstat -v" output.
2414 - Now show the URI for remote printers instead of
2415 /dev/null in "lpstat -v" output.
2416 - Creating classes and adding printers to a class with
2417 the lpadmin command didn't work.
2418 - The banner pages and test page should now format
2419 correctly in both portrait and landscape orientations.
2420 - Updated banner page substitution so that { can appear
2421 by itself without quoting.
2422
2423
2424CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.2
2425
2426 - Makefile/configure fixes
2427 - RPM spec file and EPM list file fixes
2428 - The cupsTempFile() function now uses a different
2429 algorithm for generating temp files and "reserves"
2430 them to avoid possible security exploitation.
2431 - Now use /dev/random (if available) to seed the random
2432 number generator for certificates.
2433 - The /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories
2434 were incorrectly owned by root; they are now owned by
2435 the filter user, typically "lp".
2436 - The scheduler now resets the permissions on the spool
2437 and temp directories as needed to match the filter
2438 user.
2439 - Now expose ppdCollect() as an externally callable
2440 function.
2441 - The image filters now support filtering from the
2442 standard input.
2443 - The imagetoraster filter now collects all printer
2444 options and job patch files and applies them to the
2445 page header as needed.
2446 - Added format and banner options to LPD backend.
2447 - The send-document operation didn't start a job
2448 immediately when last-document was true.
2449 - The set-job-attributes operation didn't correctly
2450 replace the current job-hold-until value.
2451 - Removed the option wrapper code from ppdEmit() and
2452 friends since it caused problems with Ghostscript
2453 and many PS printers.
2454 - Was setting TZ environment variable twice for job
2455 filters.
2456 - Added syslog logging in cups-lpd to aide in
2457 debugging problems.
2458 - The HP-UX parallel port backend did not list the
2459 available parallel ports on some systems (printf
2460 calling problem...)
2461 - The lp and lpr commands overrode user options if
2462 -d/-P were specified after -o.
2463 - The scheduler would crash with a */* filter.
2464 - Added support for a "default" filter for unknown file
2465 types. The example provided in the mime.types and
2466 mime.convs file prints unknown files as if "-oraw" was
2467 specified for the job. This functionality is disabled
2468 by default.
2469 - The "compatibility" mode fix for older backends did not
2470 work for smbspool. Added a workaround for it.
2471 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't perform the right pen scaling
2472 with some files and the "fitplot" option.
2473 - New Software Performance Specification document that
2474 describes the memory, disk, and CPU usage of all the
2475 CUPS software.
2476
2477
2478CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1.1
2479
2480 - The pstoraster Makefile still referenced one of the
2481 old PDF filter files.
2482 - The filter Makefile used INSTALL_DATA instead of
2483 INSTALL_LIB to install the CUPS image library.
2484 - The administration CGI didn't work properly with
2485 network devices.
2486 - The BrowseACL variable was not updated after the
2487 cupsd.conf file was loaded.
2488 - The lpd mini-daemon didn't support printer instances.
2489 - Now use a default umask of 077 for child processes.
2490 - Now put temp files in /var/spool/cups/tmp for child
2491 processes and the root user, unless TMPDIR or TempDir
2492 is defined otherwise.
2493 - cupsGetPPD() no longer uses easy-to-guess filenames.
2494 - The CUPS-Delete-Class and CUPS-Delete-Printer
2495 operations now save classes.conf file as needed.
2496 - The lppasswd command wouldn't add a user.
2497 - The ppdOpen() function could cause a segfault if a
2498 0-length PPD file was read.
2499 - The image filters were not handling images with
2500 different X and Y resolutions properly.
2501 - The imagetoraster filter defaulted to RGB output
2502 instead of black output like pstoraster.
2503 - The pstops filter didn't handle binary data properly.
2504 - The pstops filter didn't handle copies properly for
2505 PS files lacking DSC comments.
2506 - The pstops filter now appends %%EOF to the end of
2507 documents if they don't have it.
2508 - The cupsGetPPD() function didn't work with remote
2509 printers lacking the @server in the name.
2510 - The configure script didn't work right when only
2511 --prefix was specified.
2512 - The ppdEmit() code now wraps all printer commands so
2513 that buggy PostScript printers will still print a file
2514 after receiving an option that isn't available.
2515 - Fixed the DeskJet margin bug, and disabled 600dpi
2516 color mode until it can be fixed.
2517 - The cupsAddDest() function didn't sort instances
2518 correctly in all cases.
2519 - The time-at-xyz attributes now expand to the date and
2520 time in banner files.
2521
2522
2523CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1
2524
2525 - Documentation updates.
2526 - Configuration script updates.
2527 - Didn't map charset and language value strings to lowercase
2528 and _ to - as required by SLP and IPP.
2529 - ppdLoadXYZ() didn't add the list of available fonts to the
2530 ppd_file_t structure.
2531 - The text filter common code was freeing the PPD file data
2532 before it was used.
2533 - The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
2534 - The CGI interface now maps local access to the server to
2535 the localhost address.
2536 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't use the specified (or default)
2537 color ranges, resulting in strange colors.
2538 - The HP-GL/2 filter didn't default to no input window, which
2539 caused unnecessary clipping of plots.
2540 - Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
2541 lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
2542 PDF support.
2543 - Removed all PDF support from Ghostscript.
2544 - Updated HP driver to set top margin; this seems to fix
2545 the offset problem seen on HP DeskJet printers.
2546 - Fixed dependencies on the ZLIB and JPEG libraries in
2547 pstoraster.
2548 - The lpr command wasn't using the lpoptions defined by
2549 the user.
2550 - The lpr command would segfault if the CUPS server was
2551 not running.
2552 - The top-level makefile was not installing the CUPS
2553 initialization script. It now does so if it sees there
2554 is an init.d directory in /sbin, /etc/rc.d, or /etc.
2555 - "lpstat -v all" didn't work.
2556 - pstoraster would crash on some platforms doing the
2557 setpagedevice operator.
2558 - The web administration interface now allows you to set
2559 the default banner pages.
2560 - Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
2561 "position" option.
2562 - The AccessLog, ErrorLog, and PageLog directives now
2563 support "%s" to insert the server name.
2564 - Added a new BrowseShortNames directive to allow for
2565 short remote printer names ("printer" instead of
2566 "printer@server") when possible.
2567 - The scheduler could crash if given an invalid PPD file
2568 with no PageSize attributes.
2569 - Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
2570 multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
2571 this should fix problems with serial printing on old
2572 serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
2573 driver under Solaris 2.7.
2574 - Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
2575 cupsd.
2576 - New DataDir directive for installing in alternate
2577 locations.
2578 - New CUPS_SERVERROOT and CUPS_DATADIR environment
2579 variables to specify installation directories as
2580 needed.
2581 - Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
2582 when the scheduler is started.
2583 - Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
2584 printer.
2585 - Old job and control files that don't belong to a
2586 printer are automatically deleted.
2587 - Wasn't updating time-at-processing and
2588 time-at-completed attributes in job.
2589 - Didn't send required multiple-operation-time-out
2590 attribute in response to a get-printer-attributes
2591 request.
2592 - cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
2593 - The job-hold-until attribute is now provided with all
2594 jobs. For jobs that are not currently held the value
2595 is "no-hold".
2596 - The scheduler was not sending "unknown" values in IPP
2597 responses.
2598 - The lpoptions command now accumulates options from
2599 previous runs rather than replacing all options for a
2600 printer.
2601 - The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
2602 request fails.
2603 - The lpadmin and admin.cgi programs now validate new
2604 printer and class names.
2605 - The access_log file now includes the number of IPP bytes
2606 received in a POST request.
2607
2608
2609CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b5
2610
2611 - Documentation updates.
2612 - The pstoraster filter didn't compile without the JPEG library.
2613 - The cupsd server didn't support the HTTP OPTIONS request
2614 method.
2615 - Dropped the "CLOSE" method supported by the cupsd server.
2616 (not defined in HTTP specification)
2617 - Makefile/configure script fixes.
2618 - Missing the job-restart template.
2619 - Added IPP test suite for testing.
2620 - Missing IPP documentation from binary distributions.
2621 - Fixed multiple-document handling code when last-document
2622 not specified.
2623 - Added more checks to IPP requests to prevent bad requests
2624 from getting through.
2625 - Not all of the Ghostscript error output was being sent to
2626 stderr.
2627 - The PostScript filter now added PJL commands to set the
2628 job name and display string, if supported.
2629 - The scheduler would crash if the browse socket could not
2630 be bound. Now disables browsing if port 631 (reserved for
2631 IPP) is being used by a misbehaving daemon.
2632 - The USB backend now looks for the older Linux 2.2.x USB
2633 printer device filenames as well as the newer ones.
2634 - The IPP backend now uses the UTF-8 charset exclusively,
2635 since apparently only CUPS handles more than US-ASCII and
2636 UTF-8...
2637 - Wasn't quoting ( in PostScript banners...
2638 - Send-document requests with no document-format attribute
2639 could cause cupsd to crash.
2640 - Old jobs in the spool directory might cause cupsd to
2641 crash.
2642 - CUPS now supports all of the recommended job-hold-until
2643 keywords as well as name values of the form "HH:MM" and
2644 "HH:MM:SS".
2645 - Added placeholder pointer for TLS encryption to the HTTP
2646 connection structure.
2647 - Fixed the "fast poll" bug reported by DISA - the
2648 status pipe wasn't being closed for multi-file jobs.
2649 - Revamped put_params code in pstoraster to fix bitmap
2650 allocation bug with FrameMaker output.
2651 - Ripped out filename, etc. code from pstoraster as it
2652 is a potential security hole.
2653 - Added support for RIP_CACHE environment variable in the
2654 new pstoraster.
2655 - Fixed USB device filenames for Linux; now support new
2656 pre-2.4 devices (/dev/usb/lp#) and 2.2 devices
2657 (/dev/usblp#)
2658 - Fixed accept-jobs crash with classes.
2659 - Didn't include dot-matrix EPSON drivers in previous
2660 release.
2661
2662
2663CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b4
2664
2665 - Documentation updates.
2666 - Many makefile and configuration script fixes (should
2667 now compile better under *BSD.)
2668 - The MediaPosition attribute was being mishandled by
2669 GhostScript, causing the RIP to fail whenever a paper
2670 tray was selected.
2671 - The scheduler now logs the final line of log information
2672 from a filter, even if it doesn't end with a newline; this
2673 primarily affects GhostScript error output.
2674 - The scheduler was saving implicit classes, so after a few
2675 restarts you'll end up with AnyPrinter, AnyAnyPrinter, etc.
2676 - The JPEG autodetection didn't work with some JPEG files that
2677 came from digital cameras (JPEG but not JFIF); the new
2678 magic types should work with all images that the JPEG library
2679 can handle.
2680 - Fixed a bug in the new contains() MIME type rule that could
2681 cause cupsd to crash.
2682 - Switched to using strtol() in the MIME type code so that you
2683 can use hex, octal, or decimal constants as desired in the
2684 mime.types file.
2685 - Banner files are now treated as templates, allowing any type
2686 of file to be used as a banner.
2687 - Added a 30-second timeout to backend device reports so that a
2688 hung backend will not prevent the scheduler from starting.
2689 - Backends are once again terminated when jobs are stopped; the
2690 CUPS-supplied backends will stay alive until the downstream
2691 filters have had a chance to clear out old page data.
2692 - The charset lookup in the CUPS localization support was wrong
2693 (iso8859-x instead of iso-8859-x)
2694 - Changed the "cpNNNN" code page files to "windows-NNNN" to match
2695 the IANA registrations.
2696 - New PostScript banner pages.
2697 - Added Windows BMP and Alias PIX image file support to the image
2698 filter.
2699 - The PNG reading coded didn't free all of its buffers.
2700 - Added Digest authentication support to the client and server
2701 code.
2702 - Added Solaris options to System V commands.
2703 - Now support the output-bin job template attribute.
2704 - Now log the job-billing attribute in the page_log file, and
2705 keep track of the total number of pages in the
2706 job-media-sheets-completed attribute.
2707 - The penwidth option is now in micrometers to support more
2708 accurate width specification.
2709 - The image filters now support interlaced and transparent PNG
2710 files.
2711 - Didn't handle Keep-Alive for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2712 - The BrowsePoll support didn't handle when BrowseInterval
2713 was set to 0 (now uses 30 seconds if BrowseInterval is 0)
2714 - The DeskJet driver now supports 600 DPI color for printers
2715 that support it.
2716 - New lpinfo and lpmove commands.
2717 - The lpq command now supports the Digital UNIX output format.
2718 - The LPD mini-daemon now supports all required LPD operations.
2719 - Implemented timeouts for multi-file documents.
2720 - New cupsPrintFiles() function in the CUPS API library to
2721 print multiple files using create-job and send-document
2722 requests (1 job ID for multiple files)
2723 - The lp command now sends multiple files as a single job,
2724 matching the behavior of the System V command.
2725 - The "cancel -a" command now purges job history files.
2726
2727
2728CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b3
2729
2730 - Documentation updates.
2731 - The startup script redirected stderr before stdout,
2732 which caused problems with some versions of Bourne
2733 shell and Bash.
2734 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's PPD language reading
2735 code.
2736 - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's check for the
2737 manufacturer in the PPD.

2739 output attributes to be set.
2740 - Added banner page support.
2741 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
2742 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
2743 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
2744 timezone offset.
2745 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
2746 file is generated).
2747 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
2748 printers when they became available.
2749 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
2750 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
2751 printer is only used when it becomes available)
2752 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
2753 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
2754 /usr/share/cups/banners)
2755 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
2756 (override with -f)
2757 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
2758 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
2759 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
2760 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
2761 folks.
2762 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
2763 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
2764 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
2765 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
2766 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
2767 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
2768 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
2769 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
2770 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
2771 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
2772 languages (still only have templates for English)
2773 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
2774 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
2775 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
2776 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
2777 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
2778 needed for some sites)
2779 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
2780 templates.
2781 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
2782 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
2783 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
2784 specific printer.
2785 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
2786 the default printer options in the PPD file.
2787 - The web interface now uses printer/class
2788 authentication for the test page instead of admin
2789 authentication.
2790 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
2791 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
2792 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
2793 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
2794 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
2795 filter.
2796 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
2797 US-ASCII.
2798 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
2799 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
2800 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
2801 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
2802 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
2803 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
2804 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
2805 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
2806 basis without environment variables.
2807 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
2808
2809
2810CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
2811
2812 - Documentation updates.
2813 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
2814 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
2815 printer.
2816 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
2817 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
2818 distribution.
2819 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
2820 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
2821 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
2822 to match the IPP spec.
2823 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
2824 (previously they would be ignored)
2825 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
2826 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
2827 machines.
2828 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
2829 and printer.
2830 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
2831 if it contained a ServerName directive.
2832 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
2833 BrowseRelay directives.
2834 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
2835 still receives information on remote printers.
2836 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
2837 networks)
2838 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
2839 of PPD files.
2840 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
2841 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
2842 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not
2843 close their input files.

2864 was being used.
2865 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
2866 printer.
