LPRng support rewrite : hardware accounting is now done
immediately, just as with CUPS.
CUPS support's mainloop rewrite : no more 99% CPU usage troubles.
Software accounting now supports PostScript (DSC compliant and
binary), PDF, PCL5, PCL6 (aka PCLXL). A new command line tool
is introduced (pkpgcounter), which can be used independantly
if needed (PyKota has to be installed though, but no config
is necessary).
Strict enforcement of quota is now supported : if activated
(not the default), people can't be over quota anymore.
Easier configuration. Saner defaults. Improved configuration
helper for CUPS (pkhint).
Configurable call-home-on-crash feature to automate bug/problem
reporting to author and/or admin and/or whoever you want.
Improved web based reports.
More versatile LDAP specific configuration directives.
More datas saved in the database :
printer text description, history of payments, job size
in bytes, job originating hostname.
X Window Print Quota reminder using On Screen Display (pykosd).
Better dispatching of error or informational messages.
Improved documentation (a bit).
Improved overall robustness.
Usual bugfixes.
PyKota stuff (T-Shirts, Bags, Mousepads...) can now be bought
from http://www.cafeshops.com/pykota so you can spread the word about this software
