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

1881 output attributes to be set.
1882 - Added banner page support.
1883 - Added missing PAM configuration file.
1884 - Configuration script fixes for Linux and *BSD.
1885 - The log file code was using the wrong sign for the
1886 timezone offset.
1887 - The default printcap file is now empty (no printcap
1888 file is generated).
1889 - The scheduler did not start jobs destined for remote
1890 printers when they became available.
1891 - The scheduler now sends jobs to remote printers
1892 immediately. (when sending jobs to a class, the remote
1893 printer is only used when it becomes available)
1894 - The scheduler now supports printing of banner pages
1895 via the job-sheets attribute (banner files go in
1896 /usr/share/cups/banners)
1897 - The cupsd process now forks itself into the background
1898 (override with -f)
1899 - Added several *BSD enhancements.
1900 - Added UNSUPPORTED libtool option to configuration
1901 script to allow the use of libtool. Note that this is
1902 UNSUPPORTED by us, but added by request of the *BSD
1903 folks.
1904 - The parallel, serial, and usb backends now retry the
1905 opening of their ports. This allows multiple print
1906 queues to be associated with a single physical port,
1907 and will allow CUPS to support several types of
1908 parallel port auto-switches in the near future.
1909 - Set-Job-Attributes now supports adding, changing, and
1910 deleting job template attributes, and no longer allows
1911 job-printer-uri to be set (see CUPS-Move-Job)
1912 - Added CUPS-Move-Job operation to support moving of jobs.
1913 - The CGI template functionality now supports multiple
1914 languages (still only have templates for English)
1915 - The CUPS-Get-Printers and CUPS-Get-Classes operations
1916 now support filtering as defined in the IDD.
1917 - The Get-Jobs, CUPS-Get-Printers, and CUPS-Get-Classes
1918 operations no longer limit themselves to 1000 jobs,
1919 printers, or classes (believe it or not, this is
1920 needed for some sites)
1921 - The web interfaces now support language-specific
1922 templates.
1923 - The web admin interface now supports class management.
1924 - The web admin interface now shows a list of
1925 manufacturers before selecting the PPD/driver for a
1926 specific printer.
1927 - The web admin interface now supports configuration of
1928 the default printer options in the PPD file.
1929 - The web interface now uses printer/class
1930 authentication for the test page instead of admin
1931 authentication.
1932 - Updated the RPM spec file for the current release.
1933 - Updated language support for Windows code pages.
1934 - 8-bit character set files can now use multiple fonts
1935 (needed for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.)
1936 - Added basic right-to-left text support in the text
1937 filter.
1938 - The POSIX locale now uses ISO-8859-1 instead of
1939 US-ASCII.
1940 - Fixed PDF printing problems.
1941 - Fixed PostScript RIP page device dictionary elements
1942 that weren't getting passed in cups_get_params().
1943 - Added a new "contains" rule for the magic file typing.
1944 - The "printable" rule now accepts characters from 128 to 255
1945 (needed for Microsoft character sets)
1946 - Added support for ~/.cupsrc as well as /etc/cups/client.conf
1947 so that the default server can be configured on a per-user
1948 basis without environment variables.
1949 - Added LPD mini-daemon to support incoming LPD jobs.
1950
1951
1952CHANGES IN CUPS v1.1b2
1953
1954 - Documentation updates.
1955 - The lp command didn't always load the user-defined
1956 destinations, preventing it from seeing the default
1957 printer.
1958 - Many configure script and makefile fixes.
1959 - The Microsoft code page files were missing from the
1960 distribution.
1961 - Added a workaround for the HP IPP client (which is sending
1962 an invalid printer-uri in requests)
1963 - Fixed the encoding of text-with-language and name-with-language
1964 to match the IPP spec.
1965 - Added support for unknown value tags in the IPP routines
1966 (previously they would be ignored)
1967 - Integrated GNU GhostScript 5.50 into the pstoraster filter.
1968 - Client hostname resolution was broken on little-endian
1969 machines.
1970 - Now look at client.conf file for client's default server
1971 and printer.
1972 - The cupsServer() function did not close the client.conf file
1973 if it contained a ServerName directive.
1974 - Added BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, BrowsePoll, and
1975 BrowseRelay directives.
1976 - BrowseInterval 0 disables advertising of local printers, but
1977 still receives information on remote printers.
1978 - New browse polling daemon (for polling servers on different
1979 networks)
1980 - New PPD cache file for faster startup times with large numbers
1981 of PPD files.
1982 - The Host: field was incorrectly required for HTTP/1.0 clients.
1983 - New set-job-attributes operation now supported.
1984 - The mime_load_types() and mime_load_convs() functions did not

2006 was being used.
2007 - The "lpstat -p" command would stop after the first active
2008 printer.
