CHANGES-1.1.txt
---------------
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.23
- Updated the Spanish man pages (STR #1041)
- The lpstat man page contained a typo (STR #1040)
- The scheduler's is_path_absolute() code could cause a
DoS (STR #1042)
- The scheduler's device loading code used the wrong
size limits for the make/model and info parameters
(STR #1035)
- The PNG loading code did not use a "long unsigned
integer" format specifier for the width and height
(STR #1032)
- The web interface only showed the first 4 or 8
characters of "{variable-name}" for undefined template
variables (STR #1031)
- The hpgltops filter did not handle a common PCL
command to enter HP-GL/2 mode (STR #1037)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.23rc1
- The lpr man page did not document the "-U" option (STR
#998)
- The scheduler no longer sends the page-set option when
printing banner pages (STR #995)
- Fixed a debug message in the imagetops filter (STR
#1012)
- The lprm man page listed the "-" option in the wrong
order (STR #911)
- The hpgltops filter contained two buffer overflows
that could potentially allow remote access to the "lp"
account (STR #1024)
- The lppasswd command did not protect against file
descriptor or ulimit attacks (STR #1023)
- The "lpc status" command used the wrong resource path
when querying the list of printers and jobs, causing
unnecessary authentication requests (STR #1018)
- The httpWait() function did not handle signal
interruptions (STR #1020)
- The USB backend used the wrong size status variable
when checking the printer status (STR #1017)
- The scheduler did not delete classes from other
classes or implicit classes, which could cause a crash
(STR #1015)
- The IPP backend now logs the remote print job ID at
log level NOTICE instead of INFO (so it shows up in
the error_log file...)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.22
- The lpstat man page incorrectly listed the "-s" option
as using the equivalent of the "-p" option to list the
printers; it uses the "-v" option to list the printers
(STR #986)
- Now allow 0-length reads in the CUPS file API (STR
#985)
- cupsDoFileRequest() now sets cupsLastError() to
IPP_ERROR on network errors (STR #953)

output page size when the fitplot option was used (STR
#984)
- Fixed the ipptest program usage message (STR #959)
- Added Spanish man pages (STR #963)
- Fixed the order of comparisons in the client.conf
reading code (STR #971)
- cupsLangGet() incorrectly set the current locale (STR
#970)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.22rc2
- The pdftops filter didn't check the range of all
integer attributes (STR #972)
- Documentation corrections (STR #944, STR #946)
- Also sanitize device URI in argv[0] (STR #933)
- cupsRasterReadHeader() didn't swap bytes for the
numeric fields properly (STR #930)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.22rc1
- Now sanitize the device URI that is reported in the
error_log file (STR #920)
- Fixed some memory and file descriptor leaks in the job
dispatch code (STR #921)
- Deleting a printer could cause a crash with browsing
enabled (STR #865, STR #881, STR #928)
- Browsing would turn off if the scheduler got an EAGAIN
error (STR #924)
- The mime.types file didn't recognize PostScript as a
PJL language name (STR #925)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21
- The scheduler did not separate Digest authentication
parameters with commas (STR #882)
- Fixed some problems with image printing to custom page
sizes (STR #891)
- Removed the remaining scheduler code that did not use
the "close-on-exec" file descriptor flag to speed up
program invocations (STR #890)
- The "lpr -r" command removed the print file even if it
was not printed. It now only removes the file if the
job is successfully created (STR #886)
- Revamped the custom page size orientation fix (STR
#127)
- The lp, lpq, lpr, and lpstat commands now report when
an environment variable is pointing to a non-existent
printer instead of just saying "no default
destination" (STR #879)
- Queue names with 2 periods (e.g. "printer..2") were
not supported (STR #866)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc2
- Fixed a denial-of-service bug in the CUPS browse
protocol support (STR #863)
- The scheduler used a select() timeout of INT_MAX
seconds when there was nothing to do, which doesn't
work on IRIX (STR #864)
- Updated the cupsaddsmb program to use the new Windows
2000 PostScript drivers instead of the Windows NT
printer drivers (STR #390)
- The gziptoany filter did not produce copies for raw
print jobs (STR #808)
- The cupsLangGet() function now uses nl_langinfo(),
when available, to get the current encoding (STR #856)
- Added a ReloadTimeout directive to control how long
the scheduler waits for jobs to complete before
restarting the scheduler (STR #861)
- Added a note to the default cupsd.conf file which
mentions that you must allow connections from
localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
work (STR #850)
- The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
communicating with a remote server; this caused
problems with some custom configurations (STR #852)
- The cups-lpd mini-daemon wasn't using the right
default banner option (STR #851)
- Updated the new httpDecode64_2() and httpEncode64_2()

text (STR #860)
- String options with quotes in their values were not
quoted properly by the scheduler (STR #839)
- Configure script changes for GNU/Hurd (STR #838)
- The lppasswd program was not installed properly by GNU
install when the installer was not root (STR #836)
- Updated the cups-lpd man page (STR #843)
- Fixed a typo in the cupsd man page (STR #833)
- The USB backend now defaults to using the newer
/dev/usb/lpN filenames; this helps on systems which
use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (STR #818)
- The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
constant when the configure script detected the
usersec.h header file. This caused authentication
errors on AIX (STR #832)
- The lp and lpr commands now report the temporary
filename and error if they are unable to create a
temporary file (STR #812)
- Added ServerTokens directive to control the Server
header in HTTP responses (STR #792)
- Added new httpDecode64_2(), httpEncode64_2(), and
httpSeparate2() functions which offer buffer size
arguments (STR #797)
- The cupsGetFile() and cupsPutFile() code did not
support CDSA or GNUTLS (STR #794)
- The httpSeparate() function did not decode all
character escapes (STR #795)
- The cupstestppd program now checks for invalid Duplex
option choices and fails PPD files that use
non-standard values (STR #791)
- Updated the printer name error message to indicate
that spaces are not allowed (STR #675)
- The scheduler didn't handle HTTP GET form data
properly (STR #744)
- The pstops filter now makes sure that the prolog code
is sent before the setup code (STR #776)
- The pstops filter now handles print files that
incorrectly start @PJL commands without a language
escape (STR #734)
- Miscellaneous build fixes for NetBSD (STR #788)

the wait option was set to "no" (STR #761)
- The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
messages (STR #745)
- Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
prompts. This resolves a previous authentication
caching issue (STR #729, STR #743)
- The scheduler did not correctly throttle the browse
broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
machines (STR #754)
- The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
systems which used non-standard encryption settings
(STR #773)

#629)
- The USB backend now retries printing to devices of the
form "usb://make/model" if any USB port shows up as
"busy" (STR #617)
- The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check
IP address values (STR #608)

queues that were rejecting new print jobs (STR #515)
- Some calls to the ctype functions did not account for

- The scheduler could use excess amounts of CPU if a CGI
program was sending data faster than the client could
take it (STR #595)
- Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
#484)
- The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,

printers was not sent to clients via browsing or
polling (STR #571)
- Browse packets did not indicate whether a printer
was accepting or rejecting jobs.
- The web interface did not show the printer state
history information (STR #592)
- The rastertoepson filter would crash under certain
cirsumstances (STR #583)
- The USB backend did not handle serial numbers using

not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
(STR #565)
- cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (STR #569)
- Added localization for Belarusian (STR #575)
- The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
when creating the data and control filenames, which
causes problems with older systems that can't handle
long filenames (STR #560)
- The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
information from being updated (STR #562)
- The scheduler did not send common or history data to
the client when processing a CUPS-Get-Default request
(STR #559)

pages on printers that did not do their own collated
copies (STR #389)
- Tru64 doesn't define a prototype for hstrerror() (STR
#430)
- Updated the pdftops filter to use the annotation flags
instead of the subtype to determine whether to print
an annotation (STR #425)
- The French web interface localization did not use
absolute paths for the navigation bar (STR #428)
- The CUPS test suite did not undefine the PRINTER and
LPDEST environment variables. This could lead to bogus
test results (STR #380)
- The cupsLangDefault() function now works if you don't
have the base OS localization installed (STR #418)
- The pdftops filter no longer needs to create temporary
files with tmpnam (STR #406)

method (STR #407)
- The httpEncode() function always added a trailing "="
character, which is not required by the Base64
encoding specification (STR #407)

even though the job restarted successfully (STR #362)
- The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
the error_log file (STR #337)
- The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
defined PageSize (STR #365)

name provided an explicit character set name (STR
#354)

- The scheduler did not return the
job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
attributes (STR #356)
- The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
driver for Windows (STR #357)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc5
- The scheduler did not initialize the browse socket
file descriptor properly when only SLP browsing was
enabled (STR #259)
- The scheduler accessed the job attributes before they
were set (STR #347, fix to STR #335)
- The cupsCancelJob() function did not return 0 when the
job could not be canceled (STR #340)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc4
- The scheduler did not move the incoming job attributes
in the operation group to the job group (STR #335)
- The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
early HTTP response while sending the file (STR #314)
- The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
names, which caused some problems with the generated
URLs (STR #320)
- CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
option (STR #331)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc3
- More SLP changes (STR #259)

orientation value position for custom page sizes (STR
#292)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc2
- The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
printers that returned status info but were not ready
for more print data (STR #287)
- The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
(index.php, index.pl, etc. - STR #290)
- The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
with "GET" variables (STR #268)
- Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
#289)

did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
very difficult (STR #277)
- Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
the filter group (STR #283)
- The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
rotate labels properly via the DI command (STR #282)
- The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
attribute when a fax job fails (STR #269)
- The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
the form "ll.charset" (STR #271)

language localization for a request; this caused extra
disk IO for every request (STR #271)
- The scheduler did not support requests with more than
one language specified (STR #267)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.20rc1
- The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before

is 64 bits (STR #262)
- Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
Hat (STR #253)

the standard constants when reporting printer status
bits on Linux (STR #254)
- Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
to the CUPS API (STR #112)
- The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
within the printable area of the page (STR #250)
- The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
URI (STR #247)
- Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
(STR #249)
- Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
correct amount when rotating (STR #243)
- The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
logging messages from the signal handler (STR #242)
- The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (STR #241)
- cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
HTTP connection with the server (STR #220)
- ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
PASS results for some PPD files (STR #233)
- cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
use "yes" and "on" for true values (STR #227)
- The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
(STR #224)
- Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
9 (STR #217)
- The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
BSD and Darwin (STR #213)
- The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
rather than waiting for the next time slot (STR #211)
- Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
level (STR #212)
- The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
pictwpstops filter on OSX (STR #210)
- The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
"banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
(STR #209)

the user already had specified the proper orientation
(STR #207)
- Fixed AIX shared library support (STR #201)
- Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
#193)
- The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
attributes for the class, job, and printer template
files (STR #192)
- The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
programs rather than the port that the browser
connected to (STR #103)
- The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (STR #155)
- The filter makefile incorrectly installed
libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (STR #180)
- The scheduler did not verify that the job history
files define the job-priority and
job-originating-user-name attributes (STR #178)
- The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (STR #156)
- The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
caused problems with some implementations of the
standard C library. (STR #159)
- The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
embedded Type1C fonts (STR #177)
- Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
2.02pl1 (STR #191)
- The scheduler did not reset the group list when
running CGI and filter processes (STR #185)
- The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
signal handlers (STR #190)
- The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
strings if the description string is not available
(STR #174)
- The ppdOpen functions still supported the
VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
of the PPD spec. This caused problems with PPD files
that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
group (STR #158)
- The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
#147)

the connection is terminated before the first byte of
chunk data is sent/received (STR #143)
- Printers with special characters in their names were
not accessible from the web interface (STR #120)
- The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (STR #89)
- The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
not blank (STR #152)
- The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
files did not get installed (STR #148)
- The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
without shared libraries (STR #149)
- The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
problems on at least HP-UX (STR #150)
- The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
capability bit (STR #144)
- The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
amount of memory (STR #145)
- The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
attributes to the attribute list; previously only
certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
#139)
- The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
instead of the passed file pointer (STR #142)
- The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
block waiting for data (STR #132)
- The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
command after the PJL language escape to work around
bugs in certain PJL implementations (STR #131)
- The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
value properly (STR #127)
- The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
directory or the cupstestppd file (STR #134)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19
- The GNU TLS code incorrectly used
gnutls_check_pending() instead of
gnutls_record_check_pending() (STR #128)
- The ppdEmit() functions output "PageSize Custom"
instead of "CustomPageSize True" in the DSC comments.
Also, the custom page size code did not use the
ParamCustomPageSize attributes (STR #127)
- The cupstestppd command did not list the conflicting
options (STR #123)
- The lpq command did not ensure that there was
whitespace between the fields in the job listing (STR
#117)
- The German web templates had errors (STR #119)
- The configure script didn't specify the static
libraries properly when configuring with the
--disable-shared option (STR #104)
- The cups.list file used file dependencies for package
formats other than portable, RPM, and Debian (STR #98)
- cupsLangGet() didn't use its language cache (STR #97)
- "lpq -P" would segfault instead of showing a usage
message (STR #94)
- Fixed compiler warnings in pdftops filter (STR #96)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc5
- Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
classes would get double banner pages for each
file/banner in the job (STR #68)
- The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (STR #85)
- The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
next restart (STR #82)
- The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
#70)
- cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
language preference (STR #78)
- Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.
- The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
in banner pages (STR #77)
- The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
annoying error message (STR #45)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc4
- The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
#59)
- Added the job-originating-host-name information for
the page_log file documentation in the SAM (STR #31)
- The German web interface templates did not use the
right paths for job operations (STR #54)
- The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
started with a pending job in the queue (STR #35)
- The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
eventually use all available memory (STR #40)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc3
- The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (STR #48)
- The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
user - STR #48)
- The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
(STR #46)
- Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
Gilles QUERRET)
- The scheduler would delete all printers from
printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
was handled (STR #47)
- The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
unable to send browse packets to the loopback
interface (STR #40)
- The scheduler did not put the
job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
attributes group.
- The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
defined by the IPP implementation document.
- Scan backends first, PPDs second (STR #37)
- Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (STR #38
and #39)
- The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
Now send the JPEG test file (STR #33)
- The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
requirements (STR #33)
- The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
0 to prevent log file rotation (STR #33)
- The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
symlinks (STR #33)
- The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
copies for the page_log file when printing collated
copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
hardware (STR #32)
- cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
(POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
suggested by Bjoern Jacke)
- Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.
- Updated all of the Western European locales to default
to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
Jacke)
- Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
Bjoern Jacke)
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc2
- cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
directory. This fixes STR #26 and is more in line
with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.
- The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
compilers cannot be found.
- The static cupsimage library was not built by default.
- The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
(STR #28).
- Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
not work.
- The printer-state-time collection attribute was
encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.
- The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
was not added to the collection value.
- The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
was not added to the collection value.
- Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.
- Updated the man pages for the new configuration
directives.
- Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
new configuration directives.
- The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
on the page (STR #18)
- The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
#13)
- The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
when starting a job that contained a NULL string.
Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
string pointers this caused some problems (STR #20)
- The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
message files such as those used for the job history
in /var/spool/cups.
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.19rc1
- Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
(located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)
- The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.
- The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
permissions of /dev/null...)
- Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)
- Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.
- The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
no "lp" queue) is sent.
- The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
"*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
while other jobs are attempted. The FaxRetryLimit and
FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
retries and the time between retries.
- The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
your locale.
- The scheduler no longer limits the number of
BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.
- The scheduler now supports print files that have been
compressed using gzip.
- The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
job ticket information was ignored when the server had
a large number of clients connected to the system.
- Filters and backends may now report the total number
of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.
- The LPD backend now supports timeout and
sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
respectively) and has some additional changes to
reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
when only one copy was requested.
- Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.
- Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.
- Added support for STATE: messages
(printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
printer-state-time to the scheduler.
- When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
RunAsUser disabled - all backends would be running as
root.
- If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.
- Added support for IPP collections and files.
- Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts and
programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more
information.
- The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
field.
- The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.
- The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
attribute to control whether job history data is
purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
implementation.
- The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
using SLP browsing.
- If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
filter could be executed.
- When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
Kubla]
- The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
when the referenced data was deleted before it was
sent. It now only references attributes that change
only when the scheduler is restarted. The change also
reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
2k.
- The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
signals on Solaris 8.
- The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
by group name as well as user name.
- "lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
printer was available.
- The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).
- The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
printable area of the page.
- The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
conformant PS files.
- The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
the image on the page when printing in landscape
orientation.
- The ppdEmit() functions now support the
RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
and ManualFeed commands.
- The PPD loading code now supports standard options
outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.
- The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.
- The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
