Changes in CUPS v2.4.2 (26th May 2022)
--------------------------------------
- Fixed certificate strings comparison for Local authorization (CVE-2022-26691)
- The `cupsFileOpen` function no longer opens files for append in read-write
mode (Issue #291)
- The cupsd daemon removed processing temporary queue (Issue #364)
- Fixed delay in IPP backend if GNUTLS is used and endpoint doesn't confirm
closing the connection (Issue #365)
- Fixed conditional jump based on uninitialized value in cups/ppd.c (Issue #329)
- Fixed CSS related issues in CUPS Web UI (Issue #344)
- Fixed copyright in CUPS Web UI trailer template (Issue #346)
- mDNS hostname in device uri is not resolved when installaling a permanent
IPP Everywhere queue (Issues #340, #343)
- The `lpstat` command now reports when the scheduler is not running
(Issue #352)
- Updated the man pages concerning the `-h` option (Issue #357)
- Re-added LibreSSL/OpenSSL support (Issue #362)
- Updated the Solaris smf service file (Issue #368)
- Fixed a regression in lpoptions option support (Issue #370)
- The scheduler now regenerates the PPD cache information after changing the
"cupsd.conf" file (Issue #371)
- Updated the scheduler to set "auth-info-required" to "username,password" if a
backend reports it needs authentication info but doesn't set a method for
authentication (Issue #373)
- Updated the configure script to look for the OpenSSL library the old way if
pkg-config is not available (Issue #375)
- Fixed the prototype for the `httpWriteResponse` function (Issue #380)
- Brought back minimal AIX support (Issue #389)
- `cupsGetResponse` did not always set the last error.
- Fixed a number of old references to the Apple CUPS web page.
- Restored the default/generic printer icon file for the web interface.
- Removed old stylesheet classes that are no longer used by the web
interface.
As of 3.5, GNU grep changed so by default, "The message that a binary
file matches is now sent to standard error", which broke the
expectations of the configure script, which was calling grep on font
files without using -a or equivalent options. If we change to use -a,
this will break non-GNU grep implementations that don't have it, so
also universally require GNU grep for consistency/simplicity.
We should be fine here, as -a was added to GNU grep 2.4.1 back twenty
years ago and pkgsrc sets 2.5.1 as its minimum tool version if building
it itself.
(Really this package should be updated to a newer stable release branch
but I don't have time right now.)
This package switched to GPL v3 in 2009, so it's evidently been wrong
for a while in pkgsrc. There are two other main licenses specified for
documentation and fonts, too.
9.56.1
New PDF Interpreter is now enabled by default: See Changes Coming to the PDF Interpreter
libgs is now threadsafe
The PSD output devices now write ICC profiles to their output files for improved color fidelity.
Ghostscript/GhostPDL can now output Apple Raster and URF format image files: via the "appleraster" or "urf" output devices (using the cups implementation of those formats).

tagging commands.
### Fixed
- Support/firstaid for colorspace package
- Support for metadata with hyperxmp and xetex
The code has been completely reorganized. The implementation documentation is
now completely in English and uses the new class koma-script-source-doc. This
class is based on version 3 of the doc package. Partially the order of the code
has changed. Some deprecated code parts have been removed completely, others
generate long overdue warnings.
scrartcl, scrbook, scrreprt:
Non-floating environments table- und figure- are also defined.
scrlttr2, scrletter:
The internal macros \if at plength, \@newplength, \@setplength, and \@addtoplength
are not only deprecated, which has been documented since KOMA-Script 3.25 from
2018/03/30, but also warn. If you haven't already done so, you should use the
user commands \Ifplength, \newplength, \setplength, and \addtoplength instead
urgently now!
CHANGES IN V1.28.15
- pdftops: In pdftops identify old LaserJets more precisely
for working around PostScript interpreter bugs, older
printers need Poppler, newer models need Ghostscript
CHANGES IN V1.28.14
- pdftopdf: Correct the output when suppressing auto-rotation
(option "nopdfAutoRotate"). Depending on the situation pages
got cropped in the wrong orientation or de-centered.
- pdftopdf: Correct the output when the
"orientation-requested" or the "landscape" option is
supplied. Output could be de-centered,
portrait-oriented pages be wrongly cropped and division of
the output page into cells for N-up done in the wrong
orientation.
- rastertopdf: In PCLm output mode the filter failed to
generate PCLm if the printer has no
"pclm-source-resolution-default" IPP attribute.
CHANGES IN V1.28.13
- pdftopdf: Fix N-up printing when paper is taken
long-edge-first by the printer.
- pdftopdf: Fix cropping ("print-scaling=none" and
"print-scaling=fill") when paper is taken long-edge-first by
the printer.
- pdftops: Use Poppler for all Apple LaserWriter models.
CHANGES IN V1.28.12
- imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed comparison of the image
size with the page size for print-scaling=auto. The image
size in pixels was compared with the page size in PostScript
points (1/72 inch).
- imagetoraster, imagetopdf: Fixed the "print-scaling=none"
(crop-to-fit) mode, also use crop-to-fit always when
requested, do not fall back to fit-to-page when the image
size differs significantly from the page size.
- libcupsfilters: Changed the default PPI resolution for
images as input files from 128 to 200.
- implicitclass: Do not check availability of "gs" and
"pdftops" executables, instead, check by the presence of
"gstoraster" and "pdftoraster" filters whether we have
configured cups-filters for Ghostscript and/or Poppler use.
- libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator for the driverless
utility and cups-browsed add "*cupsFilter2: ..." lines for
all supported driverless data formats (PDF, Apple/PWG
Raster, PCLm), and add lines for legacy data formats (PCL,
PostScript) only if no driverless formats available.
- libcupsfilters: Always use encryption for ipps. RFC7472
requires that 'ipps' must be used over HTTPS, but the
driverless utility does not enforce encryption.
- serial: Add a 10-msec sleep and at the end add a tcdrain().
For some unknown reason, every printing file need sleep a
little time to make sure the serial printer receive data is
right.
- libcupsfilters: Fix resolver functions for DNS-SD-based
URIs, to make resolve_uri() also work when DEVICE_URI env
variable is set and to make ippfind_based_uri_converter()
not re-direct stdin.
- pdftopdf: Set default for print-scaling to avoid "should
never happem" log messages and undefined behavior.
- pdftopdf: Fix orientation-requested = 0. Consider
this as "automatic selection and not as error.
- pdftopdf: Fixed all combinations of print-scaling and
number-up for printers with asymmetric margins (top !=
bottom or left != right) and for input files containing
pages with different sizes and/or orientations. Fixes
backported from 2.x branch.
- pdftopdf: Add 2% tolerance for input size larger than output
page when "print-scaling=auto" or "print-scaling=auto-fit"
is used and too large input pages should be scaled, fitting
documents not. This prevents a random-looking behavior if
input and output page size seem to be equal, but in reality
there are slight differences between size dimensions.
CHANGES IN V1.28.11
- libcupsfilters: Let PPD generator take default ColorModel
from printer.
- Braille: In vectortopdf check inkscape version to call
inkscape with the correct command line.
- Build system: Make missing DejaVuSans.ttf non-fatal in
./configure as the font is only needed for test programs,
not for actual use of cups-filters.
- libcupsfilters: In imagetoraster() fixed crash with SGray.
- cups-browsed: Naming of local queues is matched to CUPS'
current naming of temporary queues (no leading or trailing
underscores), to avoid duplicates in print dialogs which
support CUPS' temporary queues.
- libcupsfilters: Make cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() work correctly
with PPDs (Issue #436).
- libcupsfilters: Let colord_get_profile_for_device_id() not
return empty file name, to avoid error messages in CUPS
error_log.
- foomatic-rip: Debug message was wrongly sent to stdout and
not to log
