CUPS v1.1.6 is Released!

Created at 09:00 Jan 25, 2001 by mike, last modified at 16:00 Dec 31, 1969

CUPS v1.1.6 is now available for download!

The following changes were made in v1.1.6 (since 1.1.5):

        

• Fixed another possible DoS attack in httpGets()

          

• Added check for "LANGUAGE = PCL" and "LANGUAGE =
          POSTSCRIPT" in mime.types.

          

• Resolution options were not being passed into the
          filter programs properly.

          

• The default compiler options for GCC no longer includ
          "-g3", which apparently is deprecated in newer
          versions of GCC.

          

• CheckJobs() could cause cupsd to crash if a job is
          cancelled in StartJob().

          

• The printers.conf and classes.conf files are now
          written with restricted permissions.

          

• The round-robin algorithm used by FindAvailablePrinter()
          had problems; fixes contributed by Joel Fredrikson.

          

• 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 HP and EPSON sample drivers now correctly catch
          signals and eject the current page when a job is
          cancelled.

          

• Fixed bug in CGI code
• did not ignore control
          characters (e.g. newlines) in form data.  This caused
          sporatic web interface problems.

          

• 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 MaxJobs directive was being treated as a boolean
          instead of an integer.

          

• The scheduler would not timeout remote printers if
          BrowseInterval was set to 0.

          

• The lpadmin command now supports setting of options
          and user-level access control.

          

• Added "-E" option to all printing commands to force
          encryption.

          

• The client code did not consume the response to the
          OPTIONS request when switching to secure mode.

          

• The scheduler did not output a Content-Length field
          when responding to an OPTIONS request.

          

• Added documentation on using cups-lpd with xinetd
          to the man page.

          

• 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.
