---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents |
---|
| 57 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |

| 58 | |
---|
[1611] | 59 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
| 62 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
[1605] | 64 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
| 65 | |
---|
| 66 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
| 67 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
| 68 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
[1600] | 70 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
[1604] | 72 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
[1600] | 73 | |
---|
[1604] | 74 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
| 75 | |
---|
[1599] | 76 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
| 78 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
| 79 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
| 80 | this older version of Python. |
---|
| 81 | |
---|
[1592] | 82 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
| 83 | |
---|
[1595] | 84 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
| 85 | |
---|
[1593] | 86 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |
---|
| 87 | ANY character, expected '/' and '@'. |
---|
| 88 | |
---|
[1592] | 89 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
| 90 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
| 91 | |
---|
[1584] | 92 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
| 93 | |
---|
[1591] | 94 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
| 95 | copies set for each page. |
---|
| 96 | |
---|
[1588] | 97 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 98 | |
---|
| 99 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 100 | |
---|
[1584] | 101 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
| 102 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
| 103 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
| 104 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
| 105 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
| 106 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
| 107 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
| 108 | |
---|
[1575] | 109 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
[1582] | 111 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
| 112 | and is displayed in reports. |

| 114 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
| 115 | |
---|
[1578] | 116 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
| 117 | |
---|
[1575] | 118 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
| 119 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
[1570] | 121 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
| 122 | |
---|
[1573] | 123 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
| 124 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
| 125 | |
---|
[1572] | 126 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
| 127 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
| 128 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
| 129 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
| 130 | |
---|
[1570] | 131 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
| 132 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
[1572] | 133 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
[1570] | 134 | |
---|
[1564] | 135 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
| 136 | |
---|
| 137 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
| 138 | |
---|
[1566] | 139 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
| 140 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
[1568] | 141 | |
---|
| 142 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
[1566] | 143 | |
---|
[1556] | 144 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
| 145 | |
---|
[1558] | 146 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
[1556] | 147 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
| 148 | |
---|
[1558] | 149 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
[1557] | 150 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
| 151 | be undercharged. |
---|
| 152 | |
---|
[1558] | 153 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
| 154 | |
---|
[1552] | 155 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
| 156 | |
---|
| 157 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
| 158 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
| 159 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
| 160 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
| 161 | |
---|
[1545] | 162 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
| 163 | |
---|
[1549] | 164 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
| 165 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
| 166 | |
---|
[1550] | 167 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
| 168 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
| 169 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
| 170 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
| 171 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
| 172 | version of Python. |
---|
[1547] | 173 | |
---|
[1546] | 174 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
[1545] | 175 | |
---|
[1542] | 176 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
| 177 | |
---|
[1544] | 178 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
| 179 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
| 180 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
| 181 | |
---|
[1543] | 182 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
| 183 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
| 184 | and PS. |
---|
| 185 | |
---|
[1542] | 186 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
| 187 | |
---|
[1541] | 188 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
| 189 | |
---|
[1542] | 190 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
[1541] | 191 | |
---|
[1536] | 192 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
| 193 | |
---|
| 194 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
| 195 | |
---|
[1539] | 196 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
| 197 | files are parsed. |
---|
| 198 | |
---|
[1526] | 199 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
| 200 | |
---|
| 201 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
| 202 | or version. |
---|
[1527] | 203 | |
---|
| 204 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
[1532] | 205 | |
---|
| 206 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
| 207 | |
---|
| 208 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
| 209 | cause problems. |
---|
[1500] | 210 | |
---|
[1522] | 211 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
| 212 | |
---|
| 213 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
| 214 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
| 215 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
| 216 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
| 217 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
| 218 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
| 219 | |
---|
[1524] | 220 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
| 221 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
| 222 | more easily readable. |
---|
| 223 | |
---|
[1517] | 224 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
| 225 | |
---|
| 226 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
| 227 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
| 228 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
| 229 | |
---|
| 230 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
| 231 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
| 232 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
| 233 | |
---|
| 234 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
[1519] | 235 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
[1521] | 236 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
| 237 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
[1517] | 238 | |
---|
[1521] | 239 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
| 240 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
| 241 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
| 242 | |
---|
[1502] | 243 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
| 244 | |
---|
[1510] | 245 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
| 246 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
| 247 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
| 248 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
| 249 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
| 250 | |
---|
[1502] | 251 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
| 252 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
| 253 | |
---|
[1500] | 254 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
| 255 | |
---|
| 256 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
| 257 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
| 258 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
| 259 | |
---|
[1495] | 260 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
| 261 | |
---|
[1499] | 262 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
| 263 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
| 264 | |
---|
[1498] | 265 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
| 266 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
| 267 | |
---|
[1497] | 268 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
| 269 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
| 270 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
| 271 | feature. |
---|
| 272 | |
---|
[1495] | 273 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
| 274 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 275 | for details. |
---|
| 276 | |
---|
[1494] | 277 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
| 278 | |
---|
| 279 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
| 280 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
| 281 | as time permits. |
---|
| 282 | |
---|
[1492] | 283 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
| 284 | |
---|
| 285 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
| 286 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 287 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
| 288 | job. |
---|
| 289 | |
---|
[1490] | 290 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
| 291 | |
---|
| 292 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
| 293 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
| 294 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
| 295 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
| 296 | in the near future. |
---|
| 297 | |
---|
[1483] | 298 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
| 299 | |
---|
[1488] | 300 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
| 301 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
| 302 | |
---|
[1487] | 303 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
| 304 | |
---|
[1485] | 305 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
| 306 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
| 307 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
| 308 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
| 309 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
| 310 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
| 311 | |
---|
[1483] | 312 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
| 313 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
| 314 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
| 315 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 316 | |
---|
[1478] | 317 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
| 318 | |
---|
[1482] | 319 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
| 320 | |
---|
[1480] | 321 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
| 322 | too. |
---|
| 323 | |
---|
[1478] | 324 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
| 325 | |
---|
[1475] | 326 | - 1.19alpha8 : |
---|
| 327 | |
---|
| 328 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
| 329 | |
---|
| 330 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
| 331 | |
---|
| 332 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 333 | |
---|
| 334 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 335 | |
---|
| 336 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
| 337 | |
---|
[1473] | 338 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
| 339 | |
---|
| 340 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
| 341 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
| 342 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
| 343 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
| 344 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
| 345 | |
---|
[1463] | 346 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
| 347 | |
---|
[1471] | 348 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
| 349 | |
---|
[1463] | 350 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
| 351 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
| 352 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
| 353 | PostScript. |
---|
| 354 | |
---|
[1464] | 355 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 356 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
| 357 | |
---|
[1451] | 358 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
| 359 | |
---|
[1458] | 360 | - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least) |
---|
| 361 | |
---|
[1459] | 362 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
| 363 | problems under heavy load. |
---|
| 364 | |
---|
[1456] | 365 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
| 366 | |
---|
[1453] | 367 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
| 368 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
| 369 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
| 370 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
[1451] | 371 | |
---|
[1455] | 372 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
| 373 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
| 374 | |
---|
[1447] | 375 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
| 376 | |
---|
| 377 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
| 378 | is now fixed. |
---|
| 379 | |
---|
[1451] | 380 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
| 381 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|
| 382 | PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide |
---|
[1449] | 383 | |
---|

[1138] | 789 | - 1.15alpha7 : |
---|
| 790 | |
---|
| 791 | - More work done on caching wrt groups. |
---|
| 792 | |
---|
[1135] | 793 | - 1.15alpha6 : |
---|
| 794 | |
---|
| 795 | - Performance bottleneck with LDAP solved. |
---|
| 796 | |
---|
[1130] | 797 | - 1.15alpha5 : |
---|
| 798 | |
---|
| 799 | - Caching mechanism for all database queries. |
---|
| 800 | |
---|
[1123] | 801 | - 1.15alpha4 : |
---|
| 802 | |
---|
| 803 | - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive |
---|
| 804 | modification. |
---|
| 805 | |
---|
[1121] | 806 | - 1.15alpha3 : |
---|
| 807 | |
---|
| 808 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|
| 809 | REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows |
---|
| 810 | people to protect its use with .htaccess files. |
---|
| 811 | When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then |
---|
| 812 | unrestricted access is granted. |
---|
[1122] | 813 | NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server |
---|
| 814 | (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed. |
---|
[1121] | 815 | |
---|
[1116] | 816 | - 1.15alpha2 : |
---|
| 817 | |
---|
| 818 | - Better detection of LPRng. |
---|
| 819 | |
---|
| 820 | - Outputs a warning if printing system is unknown. |
---|
| 821 | |
---|
[1115] | 822 | - 1.15alpha1 : |
---|
| 823 | |
---|
| 824 | - Bug fix in SQL code. |
---|
| 825 | |
---|
[1113] | 826 | - 1.14 : |
---|
| 827 | |
---|
| 828 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
| 829 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
| 830 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
| 831 | |
---|
[1111] | 832 | - 1.14beta2 : |
---|
| 833 | |
---|
| 834 | - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail. |
---|
| 835 | Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email |
---|
| 836 | address for the user. See sample configuration file for |
---|
| 837 | details. |
---|
| 838 | |
---|
[1105] | 839 | - 1.14beta : |
---|
| 840 | |
---|
| 841 | - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced, |
---|
| 842 | newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add |
---|
| 843 | quota information to existing entries or elsewhere. |
---|
| 844 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 845 | |
---|
[1099] | 846 | - 1.14alpha9 : |
---|
| 847 | |
---|
| 848 | - Documentation improved. |
---|
| 849 | |
---|
| 850 | - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value |
---|
| 851 | if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his |
---|
| 852 | limiting factor is "balance". |
---|
| 853 | |
---|
[1095] | 854 | - 1.14alpha8 : |
---|
| 855 | |
---|
| 856 | - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for |
---|
| 857 | SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before |
---|
| 858 | asking for their internal page counter. |
---|
| 859 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 860 | |
---|
[1089] | 861 | - 1.14alpha7 : |
---|
| 862 | |
---|
| 863 | - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above |
---|
| 864 | quota. The check is only done at print time. This |
---|
| 865 | prevents the sending of email messages when creating |
---|
| 866 | user quotas if quota is already reached at creation |
---|
| 867 | time. |
---|
| 868 | |
---|
[1087] | 869 | - 1.14alpha6 : |
---|
| 870 | |
---|
| 871 | - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf |
---|
| 872 | and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to |
---|
| 873 | have Read/Write access to the Quota Database. |
---|
| 874 | Don't forget to : |
---|
| 875 | |
---|
| 876 | $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf |
---|
| 877 | |
---|
| 878 | - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced |
---|
| 879 | for the same reason. |
---|
| 880 | |
---|
| 881 | - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses |
---|
| 882 | support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends. |
---|
| 883 | |
---|
[1085] | 884 | - 1.14alpha5 : |
---|
| 885 | |
---|
| 886 | - Big bug fixed when changing the prices for a printer |
---|
| 887 | |
---|
[1082] | 888 | - 1.14alpha4 : |
---|
| 889 | |
---|
| 890 | - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance |
---|
| 891 | are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added |
---|
| 892 | as two different LDAP entries. |
---|
| 893 | |
---|
[1079] | 894 | - 1.14alpha3 : |
---|
| 895 | |

---|
| 900 | |
---|
| 901 | - Typo fixed when using the --prototype option to edpykota |
---|
| 902 | |
---|
[1077] | 903 | - 1.14alpha1 : |
---|
| 904 | |
---|
| 905 | - Poor man's treshold included : users with a low account |
---|
| 906 | balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent |
---|
| 907 | a warning message. |
---|
| 908 | |
---|
| 909 | - All warning messages to users are now configurable. |
---|
| 910 | NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not. |
---|
| 911 | |
---|
[1068] | 912 | - 1.13 : |
---|
| 913 | |
---|
[1072] | 914 | - Some small fixes wrt group handling. |
---|
| 915 | |
---|
[1068] | 916 | - The whole module code was passed through PyChecker and |
---|
| 917 | several small code inconsistencies were fixed, |
---|
| 918 | as well as a bug in the groups code. |
---|

---|
| 933 | |
---|
| 934 | - Small bug fix. |

---|
| 942 | |
---|
| 943 | - Bug fixed wrt quota reports when print limiting is by |
---|
| 944 | account balance. |

| 964 | |
---|
| 965 | - LDAP schema modified a bit. Please upgrade. |
---|
| 966 | |
---|
| 967 | - LDAP backend works ! |
---|
| 968 | |
---|
| 969 | - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass |
---|
| 970 | users or groups names on the command line. Users |
---|
| 971 | and groups names may contain wildcards. |
---|
| 972 | |
---|
| 973 | - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the |
---|
| 974 | current user when launched by non-root users. |
---|
| 975 | |
---|
| 976 | - Minor bug fixes. |
---|
| 977 | |
---|
[1029] | 978 | - 1.09alpha1 : |
---|
| 979 | |
---|
| 980 | - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options |
---|
| 981 | were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some |
---|
| 982 | hints to the LDAP storage backend. |
---|
[1044] | 983 | |
---|
| 984 | - Severe database access optimizations were done by |
---|
| 985 | rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers. |
---|
[1029] | 986 | |
---|
[1027] | 987 | - 1.08 : |
---|
| 988 | |
---|
| 989 | - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs. |
---|
[1029] | 990 | |
---|
[1027] | 991 | - Major bug fix wrt increase/decrease account balances. |
---|
| 992 | |
---|
[1021] | 993 | - 1.08alpha8 : |
---|
| 994 | |
---|
| 995 | - Code refactoring. |
---|
[1029] | 996 | |
---|
[1021] | 997 | - A single user/password pair is used to connect |
---|
| 998 | to the database backend. The storageuser configuration |
---|
| 999 | field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are |
---|
| 1000 | not used anymore. |
---|
[1029] | 1001 | |
---|
[1022] | 1002 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |
---|
| 1003 | file for details. |
---|
| 1004 | WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in |
---|
| 1005 | debug mode, for now. |
---|
[1021] | 1006 | |
---|
[1019] | 1007 | - 1.08alpha7 : |
---|
| 1008 | |
---|
| 1009 | - Very latest LDAP schema. |
---|
[1029] | 1010 | |
---|
[1019] | 1011 | - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes |
---|
| 1012 | and object classes into an existing LDAP directory. |
---|
| 1013 | |
---|
[1017] | 1014 | - 1.08alpha6 : |

[1017] | 1018 | - More work on LDAP : new schema |
---|
| 1019 | |
---|
[1016] | 1020 | - 1.08alpha5 : |
---|
| 1021 | |
---|
[1017] | 1022 | - More good work on LDAP storage. |
---|
| 1023 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
[1016] | 1024 | |
---|
[1014] | 1025 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
| 1026 | |
---|
| 1027 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
| 1028 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
| 1029 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
| 1030 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
| 1031 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
| 1032 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
| 1033 | |
---|
[1000] | 1034 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
| 1035 | |
---|
| 1036 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
| 1037 | |
---|
| 1038 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
| 1039 | |
---|
| 1040 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
| 1041 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
| 1042 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
| 1043 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
| 1044 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
| 1045 | |
---|
| 1046 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
| 1047 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
| 1048 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
| 1049 | |
---|
| 1050 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
| 1051 | |
---|
[998] | 1052 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
| 1053 | |
---|
| 1054 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
| 1055 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
[1000] | 1056 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
[998] | 1057 | |
---|
[991] | 1058 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
| 1059 | |
---|
| 1060 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
| 1061 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
| 1062 | |
---|
[989] | 1063 | - 1.06 : |
---|
| 1064 | |
---|
| 1065 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
| 1066 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
| 1067 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
| 1068 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
| 1069 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
| 1070 | |
---|
[980] | 1071 | - 1.05 : |
---|
| 1072 | |
---|
| 1073 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
| 1074 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
| 1075 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
| 1076 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
| 1077 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
| 1078 | learn how to do. |
---|
| 1079 | |
---|
| 1080 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
| 1081 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
| 1082 | sent to the printer. |
---|
| 1083 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
| 1084 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
| 1085 | the printer. |
---|
| 1086 | |
---|
[976] | 1087 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
| 1088 | |
---|
| 1089 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
| 1090 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
| 1091 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
| 1092 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
| 1093 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1094 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
| 1095 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
| 1096 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
[978] | 1097 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
[976] | 1098 | |
---|
[973] | 1099 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
| 1100 | |
---|
| 1101 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
| 1102 | |
---|
[975] | 1103 | - Better error handling. |
---|
| 1104 | |
---|
[962] | 1105 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
| 1106 | |
---|
[969] | 1107 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
| 1108 | |
---|
[962] | 1109 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
| 1110 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
| 1111 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
| 1112 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
| 1113 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
| 1114 | |
---|
[970] | 1115 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
| 1116 | |
---|
[960] | 1117 | - 1.04 : |
---|
[956] | 1118 | |
---|
| 1119 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
| 1120 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
| 1121 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
| 1122 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
| 1123 | |
---|
[954] | 1124 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
| 1125 | |
---|
[953] | 1126 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
| 1127 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
| 1128 | |
---|
[950] | 1129 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
| 1130 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
| 1131 | |
---|
[947] | 1132 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
| 1133 | |
---|
| 1134 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
| 1135 | |
---|
[942] | 1136 | - 1.03 : |
---|
| 1137 | |
---|
| 1138 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
| 1139 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
[965] | 1140 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
[942] | 1141 | |
---|
[932] | 1142 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
[929] | 1143 | |
---|
[932] | 1144 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
| 1145 | subdirectory. |
---|
| 1146 | |
---|
[936] | 1147 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
| 1148 | |
---|
[927] | 1149 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
| 1150 | |
---|
[910] | 1151 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
| 1152 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
| 1153 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
| 1154 | |
---|
[917] | 1155 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
| 1156 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
| 1157 | details. |
---|
| 1158 | |
---|
[885] | 1159 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
| 1160 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
[892] | 1161 | |
---|
| 1162 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
[885] | 1163 | |
---|
[894] | 1164 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
| 1165 | |
---|
[899] | 1166 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
| 1167 | reports in the future. |
---|
[900] | 1168 | |
---|
| 1169 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
| 1170 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
| 1171 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
| 1172 | |
---|
[901] | 1173 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
| 1174 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
| 1175 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
| 1176 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|

[909] | 1178 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
| 1179 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
| 1180 | in this case. |
---|
[908] | 1181 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
| 1182 | off. |
---|
[901] | 1183 | |
---|
| 1184 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
| 1185 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
[908] | 1186 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
| 1187 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
[901] | 1188 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[908] | 1189 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
[925] | 1190 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
[901] | 1191 | |
---|
[907] | 1192 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |

---|
| 1201 | file for details. |
---|
[925] | 1202 | |
---|
| 1203 | - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by |
---|
| 1204 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
[919] | 1205 | |
---|
[877] | 1206 | - 1.02 : |
---|
[859] | 1207 | |
---|
[871] | 1208 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
| 1209 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
| 1210 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
| 1211 | |
---|
[872] | 1212 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
| 1213 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
| 1214 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
| 1215 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
| 1216 | if needed. |
---|
| 1217 | |
---|
[859] | 1218 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
| 1219 | |
---|
| 1220 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
| 1221 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1222 | |

---|
| 1226 | included as well. |
---|
| 1227 | |
---|
[852] | 1228 | - 1.01 : |
---|
| 1229 | |
---|
| 1230 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
| 1231 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
| 1232 | |
---|
| 1233 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
| 1234 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
| 1235 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1236 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1237 | |
---|
[853] | 1238 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
| 1239 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 1240 | for details. |
---|
| 1241 | |
---|
[852] | 1242 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
| 1243 | add this information to this file. |

---|
[846] | 1250 | - 1.00 : |
---|
| 1251 | |
---|
| 1252 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
| 1253 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
| 1254 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
| 1255 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
| 1256 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
| 1257 | |
---|
| 1258 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
| 1259 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
| 1260 | |
---|
| 1261 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |
---|

---|
| 1264 | |
---|
| 1265 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
---|
| 1266 | to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is |
---|
| 1267 | now fixed. |
---|
| 1268 | |
---|
| 1269 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
[835] | 1270 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
---|
[833] | 1271 | |
---|
[827] | 1272 | - 0.98 : |
---|
| 1273 | |
---|
| 1274 | - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off. |
---|
| 1275 | |
---|
[828] | 1276 | - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. |
---|
| 1277 | |
---|
[819] | 1278 | - 0.97 : |
---|
| 1279 | |
---|
| 1280 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
---|
| 1281 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
| 1282 | |
---|
| 1283 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
| 1284 | |
---|
[821] | 1285 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
[819] | 1286 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
| 1287 | |
---|
| 1288 | - Small bug fixes. |
---|
| 1289 | |
---|
[803] | 1290 | - 0.96 : |
---|
| 1291 | |
---|
[808] | 1292 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
---|
[807] | 1293 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
| 1294 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
[803] | 1295 | |
---|
[807] | 1296 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
| 1297 | |
---|
| 1298 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
| 1299 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
| 1300 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
[803] | 1301 | |
