additions to the documentation, plus the following changes:
- Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets().
- Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT" in
mime.types.
- The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now written with
restricted permissions.
- If LoadAllJobs() is unable to determine the file type of a print
job, assume "application/vnd.cups-raw".
- The web interface now provides a job_printer_name value for any
corresponding job_printer_uri value.
- The cups-lpd mini-daemon now logs the client address and hostname
as well as all commands and errors in the syslog file.
- The IPP backend now detects the supported file formats and only
specifies the document format if it is supported. This makes IPP
printing to network print servers and cards more reliable without
affecting the capabilities of CUPS servers.
- The time_at_xyz attributes are now converted to human-readable
dates and times for the web interfaces.
- The file type logging code in the scheduler referenced the optional
document-format attribute; the new code uses the resolved MIME type
instead.
- The client.conf parsing code now removes trailing whitespace.
- The lpadmin command now supports setting of options and user-level
access control.
- Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force encryption.
- The socket backend now starts retries at 5 seconds and increases
the interval to 30 seconds. This should provide faster printing
when multiple jobs/files are queued for a printer.
- The filters and backends no longer buffer output to stderr. This
should provide much more accurate status reporting.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
bug and security fixes, improvements to the efficiency of the server and
utilities, improvements to the documentation, plus the following:
* Security updates - new default configuration does not broadcast
printer information and only allows access from the local system.
* EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally supports TLS/SSL
encryption via the OpenSSL library.
* Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
* Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
* Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to snprintf's, even if
the destination buffer is larger than the source string(s); this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and global variables,
even if the destination buffer is larger than the source string; this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw printing of PCL and
ESC/P files; PJL headers are parsed to differentiate between
PostScript and PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of the
reports of SAMBA printing problems due to the missing "-oraw" or "-l"
options.
* Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class round-robin style. This
should prevent the first server in the class from bearing the brunt of
the jobs.
* The serial backend didn't support the higher baud rates with the old
termios interface. It now supports 57600 and 115200 baud.
* The serial backend now supports different types of flow control;
previously it ignored the flow=XYZ option in the device URI.
* The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control, which is popular
on dot-matrix printers (access with "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
* Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for jobs. The new
attribute provides the hostname or IP address of the machine that
submitted the job.
* Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers and classes.
bugfixes, security fixes, improvements to the web admin interface, addition
of new printer drivers, improved documentation, and improvements to the CUPS
API for client development.
the author to make this package compile more seamlessly on BSD systems,
and in particular with the NetBSD pkgsrc software collection.
CUPS 1.1 is the newest production (stable) release of CUPS. It
provides many new features from the 1.0.x releases, including a
new Level 3 PostScript RIP, a new PDF filter, EPSON printer
drivers, IPP/1.1 support, banner page support, and LPD client
support. Binaries for several platforms are also available.
Major changes in v1.1 include:
- The text filter now embeds missing fonts.
- Integrated Xpdf's pdftops filter into CUPS, which is a
lightweight and reliable replacement for Ghostscript's
PDF support.
- The web administration interface now allows you to set
the default banner pages.
- Images can now be positioned on the page using the new
"position" option.
- Updated the serial, parallel, and usb backends to do
multiple writes and ignore ioctl() errors as needed;
this should fix problems with serial printing on old
serial drivers and with the UltraSPARC parallel port
driver under Solaris 2.7.
- Now propagate LD_LIBRARY_PATH to child processes from
cupsd.
- Queued remote jobs recreate remote printers as needed
when the scheduler is started.
- Deleting a printer also purges all jobs on that
printer.
- Old job and control files that don't belong to a
printer are automatically deleted.
- cups-lpd now supports options set with lpoptions.
- The IPP backend now switches to IPP/1.0 if a 1.1
request fails.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
