Common UNIX Printing System 1.1.19rc3

Created at 09:00 Apr 28, 2003 by mike, last modified at 13:40 Apr 28, 2003

The third release candidate for version 1.1.19 of the Common UNIX Printing System ("CUPS") is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan, you now have until Monday, May 12th to test this release candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not automatically entered into the trouble report database and will not influence the final production release of 1.1.19, so it is very important that you report any problems you identify using the form.

CUPS 1.1.19 adds support for fast reconfiguration, option retension and defaulting when adding and modifying printers, binary PostScript printing, fax device features, custom web applications via CGI, PHP, Java, and Python, and simple scripting support for Java, Perl, and PHP.  The new release also contains bug fixes including the LPD printing and Solaris signal handling bugs.

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)
