   4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.2.2
   5
   6         - Sending raw jobs from a client system could cause the
   7           client's scheduler to eventually crash (STR #1786)

  23           deleted (STR #1776)
  24         - Added a new default CUPS raster format (v3) which does
  25           not compress the raster stream in order to provide the
  26           same cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels()
  27           performance as CUPS 1.1.x.
  28         - The cupsaddsmb man page listed the wrong files for the

  44           create and update the /etc/cups/passwd.md5 file (STR
  45           #1735)
  46         - 32/64-bit library installation was broken (STR #1741)
  47         - The USB backend now reports a "no such device" error
  48           when using the old filename-based USB URIs instead of
  49           the "success" error.
  50         - Increased the HTTP and IPP read timeouts to 10 seconds,

  53         - The SNMP backend now uses the device description over
  54           the printer-make-and-model attribute when the attribute
  55           contains a generic name (STR #1728)
  56         - Fixed another file descriptor leak when printing raw
  57           files (STR #1736)
  58         - Raw queues were not shared via LDAP (STR #1739)

  71           value was missing (STR #1731)
  72         - Special cases for the "localhost" hostname did not

  78         - The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends needed
  79           print data before they would report back-channel data,
  80           causing problems with several new drivers (STR #1724)

 113         - The scheduler no longer uses chunking in responses to
 114           clients - this caused problems with older versions of

 202 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.2rc3
 203
 204         - The cups-lpd program always did reverse lookups on the

 225           under UNIX and that they must be all lowercase (Windows
 226           2000) or all UPPERCASE (Windows 95/98/Me) to work (STR
 227           #1568)

 257           filters, but the filters needed the type data (STR #1558)
 258         - The scheduler didn't keep track of the status pipes
 259           properly, leading to a bad select() for multi-file jobs

 462           rastertolabel (a symlink is installed so that existing
 463           queues continue to work) and now also supports Zebra's
 464           CPCL language.
 465         - The lpstat command could show the wrong active job for
 466           a printer (STR #1301)
 467         - Fixed a potential crash problem in the scheduler when
 468           aborting a CGI program (STR #1290)

 498         - The scheduler now returns the address that was used to
 499           connect to it (STR #1076)
 500         - Fixed a problem with N-up printing and OpenOffice (STR
 501           #576)
 502         - Added support for the GCC position independent
 503           executable options (STR #1209)
 504         - Added new BrowseLocalProtocols and
 505           BrowseRemoteProtocols directives to cupsd.conf,
 506           allowing for different browse protocols for local and

 544         - All backends now abort on error when printing a job to
 545           a class - this allows the next printer in the class to

 547         - The scheduler now verifies that a printer supports
 548           Letter or A4 media sizes before setting them as the
 549           initial default (STR #1250)

 553           is disconnected or turned off (STR #1267)
 554         - Added new httpGetHostname() function to CUPS API, and
 555           use it instead of gethostname() so that the web
 556           interface will work correctly on systems whose hostname
 557           is not the FQDN (STR #1266)
 558         - The scheduler now stops printers if the backend for the
 559           queue is missing on startup (STR #1265)
 560         - The configure script now supports "--disable-library"
 561           to disable particular image file format support
 562           libraries, even if they are available on the build
 563           system (STR #1248)
 564         - The IPP backend did not always report on the total
 565           number of pages that were printed (STR #1251)
 566         - The lpstat program could display garbage date and time
 567           values for locales whose date format exceeded 31
 568           characters (STR #1263)
 569         - The cupstestppd program would segfault when testing

 572         - Added new cupsDir*() functions to CUPS API.
 573         - Printers can now be published individually for sharing.
 574         - Fixed a bug in the scheduler's startup signalling code
 575           which caused cupsd to send the SIGUSR1 signal to the
 576           init process instead of the original parent process
 577           (STR #1258)
 578         - Added new on-line help CGI to web interface to provide
 579           searchable help.
 580         - Devices are now tracked dynamically, with each query
 581           doing a new device scan.  This eliminates a previous
 582           startup delay caused by slow backends and allows new
 583           printers to be seen without restarting the server,
 584           however it limits the amount of device URI checking
 585           that can be done (basically now the scheduler only
 586           requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend)
 587         - Added new printer auto-detection, server configuration,
 588           and log file viewing to the administration web page.
 589         - Added new "set allowed users" web interface to set the
 590           list of allowed users for a printer or class.
 591         - The scheduler, command-line, and web interfaces now
 592           limit the list of printers and classes to those
 593           accessible by a user.
 594         - cupsMarkOptions() now handles more non-standard
 595           duplexing options and choices (STR #915)
 596         - cups-lpd now honors remote banner requests with the
 597           "standard" banner whenever a printer does not have one
 598           defined (STR #1220)
 599         - The scheduler's denial-of-service checks did not work
 600           properly with IPv6 addresses (STR #1134)
 601         - The lp and lpr commands did not error out properly when
 602           they were unable to write to a temporary file (STR
 603           #1129)
 604         - The pstops filter did not handle Adobe-specific
 605           comments in Windows NT driver output (STR #1085)
 606         - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly reported the printer
 607           interface (STR #936)
 608         - The web interface now operates exclusively with the
 609           UTF-8 encoding, and sends the appropriate character set
 610           and header information to the web browser (STR #919,
 611           STR #1007)
 612         - Added a "set allowed users" interface to the web
 613           interface so that you can set the list of allowed or
 614           denied users/groups for a printer or class.
 615         - Disallow the "#" character in printer names, since it
 616           has special meaning in the shell, config files, and in
 617           URIs (STR #917, STR #1202)
 618         - Added a new application/x-csource MIME type, and
 619           support for it to the texttops filter so that you can
 620           pretty print plain text files without the C/C++
 621           keywords being highlighted.
 622         - The pdftops filter did not compile with GCC 4.0 (STR
 623           #1226)
 624         - The texttops filter did not highlight preprocessor
 625           directives followed by a tab properly.
 626         - HP PJL output now uses both JOB DISPLAY and RDYMSG
 627           commands to show the current job on the printer's
 628           display (STR #1218)
 629         - Local authentication certificates are now stored in
 630           /var/run/cups/certs by default instead of
 631           /etc/cups/certs (STR #1211)
 632         - Backends now use "&" to separate options in device
 633           URIs; "+" is still recognized but is deprecated (STR
 634           #842)
 635         - The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo
 636           format on systems that support device ID queries.
 637         - Forced classification markings did not work when the
 638           job-sheets parameters were "none,none".
 639         - "lpstat -l -p" incorrectly showed all users as allowed,
 640           even if the queue was restricted to certain users (STR
 641           #801)
 642         - The scheduler now automatically detects SSL/TLS clients

 647           CUPS driver for Windows.
 648         - Fixed a signal-handling bug in httpRead() which

 650           when it was busy (STR #1184)
 651         - The cupsFile API now uses the O_APPEND option when
 652           opening files in append mode (STR #990)
 653         - The md5.h header and md5_* functions are now officially
 654           private and have been renamed to avoid conflicts with
 655           other implementations with the same name.
 656         - The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded some Type1
 657           fonts (STR #1093)
 658         - The scheduler didn't detect a closed connection in the
 659           middle of an IPP request (STR #1153)
 660         - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status
 661           if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in
 662           the same input cycle (STR #1157)
 663         - The scheduler could crash when deleting a class due to
 664           infinite recursion.
 665         - Updated the Zebra ZPL label printer driver to use the
 666           run-length encoding and support more options.
 667         - Updated serial backend to scan for /dev/ttyC* as well
 668           as /dev/ttyc* for Cyclades serial ports (STR #1049)
 669         - The scheduler could hang reading the job status under
 670           certain circumstances (STR #1068)

 672           (STR #1046)
 673         - Moved enable and disable commands to sbindir to be
 674           consistent.
 675         - Added new cupsRasterInterpretPPD() function for RIP
 676           filters to setup the raster page header from
 677           PostScript commands in a PPD file.
 678         - The CUPS browsing protocol now offers a "delete" bit
 679           to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the
 680           server or as soon as the server shuts down gracefully
 681           (STR #793)
 682         - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf
 683           and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form
 684           "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket".
 685         - The "cancel -u user" command now works for ordinary
 686           users (STR #751)
 687         - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64)
 688         - Added domain socket support (STR #656)
 689         - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the
 690           administrator to add printer URI options to the browse
 691           URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR #732)
 692         - Added BrowseRemoteOptions directive to allow the
 693           administrator to add standard URI options to the
 694           remote printer URI, e.g. "encryption=required" (STR
 695           #732)
 696         - Now put "-I.." compiler option in front of all others
 697           to ensure that local CUPS headers are used before
 698           installed headers (STR #437)
 699         - New cupsLangPrintf() and cupsLangPuts() for localized
 700           interfaces.
 701         - Now support custom attributes and extended options in
 702           PPD files.
 703         - Now provide functions to save PPD files.
 704         - New policy mechanism allows per-operation and
 705           per-printer control over what users and groups are
 706           allowed to do various IPP operations.
 707         - New error policy mechanism to control how aborted
 708           backend errors are handled by the scheduler
 709           (abort-job, retry-job, requeue-job, stop-printer)
 710         - Updated the printer test page with a better color
 711           wheel and a separate grayscale ramp.
 712         - A single backend process is now run to send all print
 713           data for a job.
 714         - Backends and filters can now send and receive
 715           backchannel data over file descriptor 3.
 716         - Updated the raster stream format to support more
 717           user-defined attributes and to do compression of the
 718           page data.
