[1345]42        - Applied some of the modifications suggested by
43          Peter Hawkins, for better Debian integration.
44          Most notably cupspykota, pykota, and the shell
45          scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota
46          instead of into /usr/bin
47          BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link
48          to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf

116       
117          SUM((NbPages * PricePerPage) + PricePerJob)
118         
119          For current printer and all the printers groups it is
[1286]120          a member of, if any.
[1285]121         
122          This may be difficult to grasp, but offers unprecedented

165   
166        - Initial code for printer groups support. Printer groups have
167          to be added with external tools like psql or gq for example.
168          Printer groups seems to work fine with users. Untested with user
169          groups for now.

183           
184            PYKOTAUSERNAME => user who is printing
185            PYKOTAPRINTERNAME => printer on which the job is being sent
186            PYKOTATITLE => Job's title
187            PYKOTAFILENAME => Job's filename
188            PYKOTACOPIES => number of copies asked

200          have nice looking and useful web based reports (in the future).
201       
[1227]202        - Added utolower configuration option to convert all usernames
203          to lowercase during printing.
204

[1221]210    - 1.16alpha14 :
211   
212        - Now printing on a printer not defined in the Quota Storage,
213          results in the job being cancelled or stopped, depending
214          on the printing system.
215         
[1212]216    - 1.16alpha13 :
217   
218        - Small bugfix wrt Python v2.1
219       
[1215]220        - If username is an empty string, user root is assumed.
[1220]221       
222        - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend,
223          you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to
224          be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions,
225          this is not the case anymore.
[1212]226         
[1203]227    - 1.16alpha12 :
228   
229        - Job price added to job history, to keep accounting correct
230          if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the
231          history is not reset : the history would have given a false
232          amount of money charged before the printer's prices were
233          modified, this addition solves the problem.
234         
[1200]235    - 1.16alpha11 :
236   
237        - Some preliminary modifications to the database structure for
238          PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP. A script to upgrade a PostgreSQL
239          database is now provided. LDAP attributes now support

241         
242        - Job history now contains additional informations : 
243          number of copies, filename, title and print options.
244         
[1194]245    - 1.16alpha10 :
[1196]246       
247        - Some modifications done to external policy handling.
248          See sample configuration file for details.
[1194]249   
250        - Spanish translation added.
251       
[1192]252    - 1.16alpha9 :
253   
254        - mailto can be set to external(...) to warn users above
255          quota with any command of your choice (e.g. linpopup).
256          Several parameters are available, see sample configuration
257          file for details.
258         
[1189]259    - 1.16alpha8 :
260   
[1191]261        - Now cupspykota transmits SIGTERMS to the original 
262          backend when the user deletes a job being processed.

270       
271        - From now on, the use of the pykota filter with CUPS
272          is deprecated. The pykota filter still has to be
273          used with LPRng though.
274       
[1179]275    - 1.16alpha6 :
276   
277        - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer
278          with no user or group name, a bad user/group name "*" was
279          added to the database.
280         
[1178]281    - 1.16alpha5 :
282   
283        - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration !
284          This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to
285          be done. All can now be done from CUPS web interface.
286       
[1177]287    - 1.16alpha4 :
288   
289        - New CUPS backend added.
290

312          names or wildcards, separated with commas.
313         
[1152]314    - 1.15alpha9 :

316        - External policy can be used to auto-add unknown users
317          and any other interesting things you may want to do.
318          WARNING : You can't auto-add printers for now.
319          They have to be created manually before.
320          Look at sample configuration file for examples.
321         
[1149]322    - 1.15alpha8 :
323   
324        - Job history can be disabled if needed.
325          This feature may be useful for people who use the LDAP
326          backend and don't want their LDAP tree to grow out of
327          control.
328       
[1138]329    - 1.15alpha7 :
330   
331        - More work done on caching wrt groups.

342   
343        - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive
344          modification.
345         
[1121]346    - 1.15alpha3 :
347   
348        - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the
349          REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows
350          people to protect its use with .htaccess files.
351          When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then
352          unrestricted access is granted.
[1122]353          NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server
354          (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed.
[1121]355         
[1116]356    - 1.15alpha2 :
357   
358        - Better detection of LPRng.

360        - Outputs a warning if printing system is unknown.
361       
[1115]362    - 1.15alpha1 :
363   
364        - Bug fix in SQL code.
365       
[1113]366    - 1.14 :
367   
368        - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before
369          exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer
370          from the problem anyway, AFAICT.
371       
[1111]372    - 1.14beta2 :
373   
374        - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail.
375          Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email
376          address for the user. See sample configuration file for
377          details.
378       
[1105]379    - 1.14beta :
380   
381        - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced,
382          newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add
383          quota information to existing entries or elsewhere.
384          See sample configuration file for details.
385         
[1099]386    - 1.14alpha9 :

389       
390        - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value
391          if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his
392          limiting factor is "balance".
393         
[1095]394    - 1.14alpha8 :
395   
396        - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for
397          SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before
398          asking for their internal page counter.
399          See sample configuration file for details.
400         
[1089]401    - 1.14alpha7 :
402   
403        - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above
404          quota. The check is only done at print time. This
405          prevents the sending of email messages when creating
406          user quotas if quota is already reached at creation
407          time.
408         
[1087]409    - 1.14alpha6 :
410   
411        - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf
412          and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to
413          have Read/Write access to the Quota Database.
414          Don't forget to :
415         
416                $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf
417               
418        - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced
419          for the same reason.
420         
421        - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses
422          support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends.
423         
[1085]424    - 1.14alpha5 :
425       
426        - Big bug fixed when changing the prices for a printer
427       
[1082]428    - 1.14alpha4 :
429   
430        - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance
431          are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added
432          as two different LDAP entries.
433         
[1079]434    - 1.14alpha3 :
435   
436        - Email field added to PostgreSQL database. An upgrade script
437          is included in initscripts/postgresql.

446          balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent
447          a warning message.
448         
449        - All warning messages to users are now configurable. 
450          NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not.

505        - LDAP schema modified a bit. Please upgrade.
506       
507        - LDAP backend works !
508       
509        - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass
510          users or groups names on the command line. Users
511          and groups names may contain wildcards.
512         
513        - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the
514          current user when launched by non-root users.
515         
516        - Minor bug fixes. 
517   
[1029]518    - 1.09alpha1 :
519   
520        - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options
521          were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some
522          hints to the LDAP storage backend.
[1044]523         
524        - Severe database access optimizations were done by
525          rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers.
[1029]526     
[1027]527    - 1.08 :
528   
529        - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs.
[1029]530

532       
[1021]533    - 1.08alpha8 :
534   
535        - Code refactoring.
[1029]536       
[1021]537        - A single user/password pair is used to connect
538          to the database backend. The storageuser configuration
539          field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are
540          not used anymore.
[1029]541         
[1022]542        - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration 
543          file for details.
544          WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in
545          debug mode, for now.
[1021]546       
[1019]547    - 1.08alpha7 :
548   
549        - Very latest LDAP schema.
[1029]550       
[1019]551        - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes
552          and object classes into an existing LDAP directory.
553       
[1017]554    - 1.08alpha6 :
555   
556        - Minor bug corrections
[1029]557       
[1017]558        - More work on LDAP : new schema
559       
[1016]560    - 1.08alpha5 :
561   
[1017]562        - More good work on LDAP storage.
563          repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory.
[1016]564       
[1014]565    - 1.08alpha4 :
566   
567        - LDAP schema included.
568          THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS.
569          LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA
570          MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US
571          WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE
572          MAILING LIST.
573         
[1000]574    - 1.08alpha3 :
575   
576        - External accounting methods were partly rewritten :
577         
578          - No more "broken pipe" should happen.
579         
580          - They now take care of the number of copies
581            This may be unneeded though, if the postscript
582            file already does this, because this would
583            overcharge users (number of copies counted
584            two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING.
585           
586          - The sample configuration file now contains 
587            an external accounting method example which should
588            work with all DSC compliant Postscript files.
589           
590        - Some small bugs were fixed.   
591       
[998]592    - 1.08alpha2 :
593   
594        - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above.
595          It already worked, but the sample configuration
[1000]596          file didn't contain appropriate values...
[998]597       
[991]598    - 1.07 : Release of the Shame !
599   
600        - The external accounting methods driver was left out of
601          the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included !
602         
[989]603    - 1.06 :
604   
605        - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in
606          power saving state which couldn't answer immediately,
607          a bug was triggered.
608          It was caused by a bad copy/paste which
609          forgot to import a Python module at run time.
610         
[980]611    - 1.05 :
612   
613        - External accounters are finally available !
614          This means that you can plug any page accounting
615          method you like by setting the appropriate
616          'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf
617          See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to
618          learn how to do.
619         
620          NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods
621               account a job size just before *this* job is
622               sent to the printer.
623               The original 'querying' method accounts a job
624               size just before *the next* job is sent to
625               the printer.
626       
[976]627    - 1.05alpha3 :
628   
629        - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was
630          implemented to serve as an example on how to
631          do this sort of things. This method only counts
632          the 'showpage' statements in the input data.
633          See sample configuration file for details.
634          Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise
635          you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.
636          It is not reliable enough to be used.
[978]637          Use the 'querying' accounting method instead.
[976]638         
[973]639    - 1.05alpha2 :
640   
641        - Pluggable accounting methods.
642       
[975]643        - Better error handling.
644       
[962]645    - 1.05alpha1 :
646   
[969]647        - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security.
648       
[962]649        - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now
650          tried several times, waiting several seconds between
651          two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers
652          which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple
653          LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too)
654         
[970]655        - Small display bug fixed in repykota
656         
[960]657    - 1.04 :
[956]658   
659        - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from
660          the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW,
661          since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results
662          (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons)
663         
[954]664        - LPRng support works !
665       
[953]666        - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default
667          policy for unknown users. It is now corrected.
668       
[950]669        - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each
670          printer, if they are defined.
671         
[947]672        - Minor display bug fixed in repykota.
673       
674        - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed.
675       
[942]676    - 1.03 :
677   
678        - Upgrade script included for earlier versions.
679          Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory.
[965]680          THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE.
[942]681         
[932]682        - repykota now reports account balances too.
[929]683       
[932]684        - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos
685          subdirectory.
686       
[936]687        - Manual pages were finally updated.
688       
[927]689        - Group quotas seem to work now !
690       
[910]691        - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all
692          jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job,
693          and track users' account balance.
694         
[917]695        - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to 
696          use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for
697          details.
698         
[885]699        - The installation script now allows to install the sample
700          configuration file during first installation.
[892]701         
702        - More group quota code works, but still not finished. 
[885]703       
[894]704        - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website.
705       
[899]706        - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period
707          reports in the future.
[900]708         
709        - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota,
710          a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about
711          a quota which is too low to print.
712         
[901]713        - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal
714          page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so
715          if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter
716          may be lower than the real number of pages printed.
717          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
[909]718          We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to
719          abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2))
720          in this case.
[908]721          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
722          off.
[901]723         
724        - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile 
725          page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on)
[908]726          This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet
727          4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing.
[901]728          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
[908]729          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
[925]730          off. This is untested, please report any problem.
[901]731         
[907]732        - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already
733          had a quota on the specified printer.
734         
[913]735        - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary
736          1.03 versions, and fixed later on.
[915]737         
738        - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed.
[913]739       
[919]740        - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration
741          file for details.
[925]742         
743        - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by 
744          print quota or by account balance.
[919]745       
[877]746    - 1.02 :
[859]747   
[871]748        - The installation script now checks for software availability
749          and in case a software is missing asks the user if he
750          wants to continue with the installation or abort it.
751         
[872]752        - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be
753          found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups
754          The installation script prompts the user to see if he
755          wants to move an old configuration file to the new location
756          if needed.
757         
[859]758        - Improved documentation.
759       
760        - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage
761          Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details.
762       
[872]763        - Better general error handling.
[859]764       
[875]765        - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now
766          included as well.
767       
[852]768    - 1.01 :
769   
770        - The configuration file now accepts an option   
771          to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages :
772         
773            - DevNull means no one will receive them.
774            - User means only the user will receive them.
775            - Admin means only the admin will receive them.
776            - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them.
777           
[853]778        - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values
779          when an option is not set. See sample configuration file
780          for details.
781         
[852]782        - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to   
783          add this information to this file.
784         
[855]785        - Redistribution terms for the official package have 
786          softened and are now fully GPL compatible :
787          unrestricted modification is now allowed even for
788          the version number.
789         
[846]790    - 1.00 :
791   
792        - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This
793          disable quota checking while still doing page
794          accounting. This is really useful for people
795          who don't want to limit their users but want
796          to know how much pages they print.
797         
798        - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve
799          the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers.
800         
801        - Every directory now has a specific README file. 
802       
[833]803    - 0.99 :
804   
805        - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed
806          to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is
807          now fixed.
808         
809        - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for
[835]810          the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed.
[833]811         
[827]812    - 0.98 :
813   
814        - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off.
815       
[828]816        - Small bug wrt syslog fixed.
817       
[819]818    - 0.97 :
819   
820        - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too
821          if the --add option is not set, e.g. :
822         
823              $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*"
824             
[821]825        - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*"
[819]826          which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used.
827         
828        - Small bug fixes.
829       
[803]830    - 0.96 :
831
[808]832        - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now
[807]833          be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has
834          priority if both are defined.
[803]835
[807]836        - More powerful configuration parser.
837       
838        - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to
839          define a section for each printer in the configuration
840          file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok.
[803]841
[797]842    - 0.95 :
843
[798]844        - External requesters for printers finally added.
[797]845
846        - Full internationalization (english and french are supported)
847 
848        - More complete quota usage report
849
850        - CGI script to access to the quota usage report
851
852        - Several bugs fixed.
853
854
855    - 0.9 :
856
857        - First public version
