[1757] | 36 | - Added the new "winbind_separator" directive to strip |
---|
| 37 | out the Samba/Winbind domain name while printing if |

---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created |

[1740] | 60 | - 1.20alpha14 : |
---|
| 61 | |
---|
[1741] | 62 | - Belgian translations added (copy of the french ones). |
---|
| 63 | |

---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | - Hardware accounter now accepts the special |
---|
| 73 | 'snmp' value, meaning ALL is done from main code |
---|
| 74 | without launching any subprocess. |
---|
| 75 | You need the http://pysnmp.sf.net Python module |
---|
| 76 | for this to work (tested with v3.4.2) |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
[1731] | 78 | - Increased delay between two loops iterations |
---|
| 79 | to 2 seconds in waitprinter.sh to diminish |

| 103 | - Added full support of PCL3 : HP Deskjet printers are now |
---|
| 104 | supported. |
---|

---|
| 107 | |
---|
| 108 | - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer. |

---|
| 112 | |
---|

[1695] | 116 | |
---|
[1694] | 117 | - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers' |
---|
| 118 | hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not |
---|
| 119 | meaningful. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
[1693] | 121 | - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules |
---|
| 122 | fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable. |

---|
| 127 | |
---|
| 128 | - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror' |
---|

| 131 | 'stop' (default). |
---|
| 132 | |
---|
| 133 | - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced |
---|
| 134 | problem. |
---|
| 135 | |

---|
| 137 | |
---|
| 138 | - Added support for more ghostscript devices in ESC/P2 |
---|
| 139 | analyzer : stcolor, st800, escp, escpc are now supported. |
---|
| 140 | |
---|
[1680] | 141 | - 1.20alpha3 : |
---|
| 142 | |
---|
[1683] | 143 | - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being |
---|
| 144 | fooled by a change in number of copies : |
---|
| 145 | The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy |
---|
| 146 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|
| 147 | this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but |
---|
| 148 | now the maximum value seen is used. |
---|
| 149 | |
---|
[1681] | 150 | - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange |
---|
| 151 | printer drivers. |
---|
| 152 | |
---|
[1680] | 153 | - Now hardware accounting method works like software |
---|
| 154 | accounting method wrt the subprocess' output. |
---|
| 155 | |
---|
[1681] | 156 | - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue |
---|
| 157 | when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will |
---|
| 158 | be configurable in the near future. |
---|
| 159 | |
---|
[1676] | 160 | - 1.20alpha2 : |
---|
| 161 | |
---|
[1678] | 162 | - Now software accounting method reads accounter's |
---|
| 163 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
| 164 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
| 165 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
| 166 | when strange locale related messages are sent |
---|
| 167 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
| 168 | |
---|
[1676] | 169 | - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work |
---|
| 170 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |
---|
| 171 | and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more |
---|
| 172 | work to correctly analyze other devices. |
---|
| 173 | |
---|
[1665] | 174 | - 1.20alpha1 : |
---|
| 175 | |
---|

---|
| 177 | |
---|
[1674] | 178 | - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser, |
---|
| 179 | when number of copies was set outside of and before first |
---|
| 180 | page. |
---|
| 181 | |
---|
[1673] | 182 | - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in |
---|
| 183 | PostScript code. |
---|
| 184 | |
---|
[1671] | 185 | - Added german translation. |
---|
| 186 | |
---|
[1665] | 187 | - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when |
---|
| 188 | "enforcement: strict" is used. |
---|
| 189 | |
---|
| 190 | - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation. |
---|
| 191 | |
---|

| 202 | - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems |
---|
| 203 | to be OK. |

| 210 | |
---|
| 211 | - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker. |
---|

---|
[1622] | 213 | - 1.19alpha35 : |
---|
| 214 | |
---|
| 215 | - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents |
---|
| 216 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |
---|
| 217 | |
---|
[1611] | 218 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
| 219 | |
---|
| 220 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
| 221 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
| 222 | |
---|
[1605] | 223 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
| 224 | |
---|
| 225 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
| 226 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
| 227 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
| 228 | |
---|
[1600] | 229 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
| 230 | |
---|
[1604] | 231 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
[1600] | 232 | |
---|
[1604] | 233 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
| 234 | |
---|
[1599] | 235 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
| 236 | |
---|
| 237 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
| 238 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
| 239 | this older version of Python. |
---|
| 240 | |
---|
[1592] | 241 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
| 242 | |
---|
[1595] | 243 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
| 244 | |
---|
[1593] | 245 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |

---|
| 247 | |
---|
[1592] | 248 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
| 249 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
| 250 | |
---|
[1584] | 251 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
| 252 | |
---|
[1591] | 253 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
| 254 | copies set for each page. |
---|
| 255 | |
---|
[1588] | 256 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 257 | |
---|
| 258 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 259 | |
---|
[1584] | 260 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
| 261 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
| 262 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
| 263 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
| 264 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
| 265 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
| 266 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
| 267 | |
---|
[1575] | 268 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
| 269 | |
---|
[1582] | 270 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
| 271 | and is displayed in reports. |
---|
| 272 | |
---|
| 273 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
| 274 | |
---|
[1578] | 275 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
| 276 | |
---|
[1575] | 277 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
| 278 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
| 279 | |
---|
[1570] | 280 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
| 281 | |
---|
[1573] | 282 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
| 283 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
| 284 | |
---|
[1572] | 285 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
| 286 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
| 287 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
| 288 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
| 289 | |
---|
[1570] | 290 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
| 291 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
[1572] | 292 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
[1570] | 293 | |
---|
[1564] | 294 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
| 295 | |
---|
| 296 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
| 297 | |
---|
[1566] | 298 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
| 299 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
[1568] | 300 | |
---|
| 301 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
[1566] | 302 | |
---|
[1556] | 303 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
| 304 | |
---|
[1558] | 305 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
[1556] | 306 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
| 307 | |
---|
[1558] | 308 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
[1557] | 309 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
| 310 | be undercharged. |
---|
| 311 | |
---|
[1558] | 312 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
| 313 | |
---|
[1552] | 314 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
| 315 | |
---|
| 316 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
| 317 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
| 318 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
| 319 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
| 320 | |
---|
[1545] | 321 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
| 322 | |
---|
[1549] | 323 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
| 324 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
| 325 | |
---|
[1550] | 326 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
| 327 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
| 328 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
| 329 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
| 330 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
| 331 | version of Python. |
---|
[1547] | 332 | |
---|
[1546] | 333 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
[1545] | 334 | |
---|
[1542] | 335 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
| 336 | |
---|
[1544] | 337 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
| 338 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
| 339 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
| 340 | |
---|
[1543] | 341 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
| 342 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
| 343 | and PS. |
---|
| 344 | |
---|
[1542] | 345 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
| 346 | |
---|
[1541] | 347 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
| 348 | |
---|
[1542] | 349 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
[1541] | 350 | |
---|
[1536] | 351 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
| 352 | |
---|
| 353 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
| 354 | |
---|
[1539] | 355 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
| 356 | files are parsed. |
---|
| 357 | |
---|
[1526] | 358 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
| 359 | |
---|
| 360 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
| 361 | or version. |
---|
[1527] | 362 | |
---|
| 363 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
[1532] | 364 | |
---|
| 365 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
| 366 | |
---|
| 367 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
| 368 | cause problems. |
---|
[1500] | 369 | |
---|
[1522] | 370 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
| 371 | |
---|
| 372 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
| 373 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
| 374 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
| 375 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
| 376 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
| 377 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
| 378 | |
---|
[1524] | 379 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
| 380 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
| 381 | more easily readable. |
---|
| 382 | |
---|
[1517] | 383 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
| 384 | |
---|
| 385 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
| 386 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
| 387 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
| 388 | |
---|
| 389 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
| 390 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
| 391 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
| 392 | |
---|
| 393 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
[1519] | 394 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
[1521] | 395 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
| 396 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
[1517] | 397 | |
---|
[1521] | 398 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
| 399 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
| 400 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
| 401 | |
---|
[1502] | 402 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
| 403 | |
---|
[1510] | 404 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
| 405 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
| 406 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
| 407 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
| 408 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
| 409 | |
---|
[1502] | 410 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
| 411 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
| 412 | |
---|
[1500] | 413 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
| 414 | |
---|
| 415 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
| 416 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
| 417 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
| 418 | |
---|
[1495] | 419 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
| 420 | |
---|
[1499] | 421 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
| 422 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
| 423 | |
---|
[1498] | 424 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
| 425 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
| 426 | |
---|
[1497] | 427 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
| 428 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
| 429 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
| 430 | feature. |
---|
| 431 | |
---|
[1495] | 432 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
| 433 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 434 | for details. |
---|
| 435 | |
---|
[1494] | 436 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
| 437 | |
---|
| 438 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
| 439 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
| 440 | as time permits. |
---|
| 441 | |
---|
[1492] | 442 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
| 443 | |
---|
| 444 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
| 445 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 446 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
| 447 | job. |
---|
| 448 | |
---|
[1490] | 449 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
| 450 | |
---|
| 451 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
| 452 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
| 453 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
| 454 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
| 455 | in the near future. |
---|
| 456 | |
---|
[1483] | 457 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
| 458 | |
---|
[1488] | 459 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
| 460 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
| 461 | |
---|
[1487] | 462 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
| 463 | |
---|
[1485] | 464 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
| 465 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
| 466 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
| 467 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
| 468 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
| 469 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
| 470 | |
---|
[1483] | 471 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
| 472 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
| 473 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
| 474 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 475 | |
---|
[1478] | 476 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
| 477 | |
---|
[1482] | 478 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
| 479 | |
---|
[1480] | 480 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
| 481 | too. |
---|
| 482 | |
---|
[1478] | 483 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
| 484 | |
---|

---|
| 486 | |
---|
| 487 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
| 488 | |
---|
| 489 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
| 490 | |
---|
| 491 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 492 | |
---|
| 493 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 494 | |
---|
| 495 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
| 496 | |
---|
[1473] | 497 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
| 498 | |
---|
| 499 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
| 500 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
| 501 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
| 502 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
| 503 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
| 504 | |
---|
[1463] | 505 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
| 506 | |
---|
[1471] | 507 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
| 508 | |
---|
[1463] | 509 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
| 510 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
| 511 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
| 512 | PostScript. |
---|
| 513 | |
---|
[1464] | 514 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 515 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
| 516 | |
---|
[1451] | 517 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
| 518 | |

---|
[1459] | 521 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
| 522 | problems under heavy load. |

| 523 | |
---|
[1456] | 524 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
| 525 | |
---|
[1453] | 526 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
| 527 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
| 528 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
| 529 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
[1451] | 530 | |
---|
[1455] | 531 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
| 532 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
| 533 | |
---|
[1447] | 534 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
| 535 | |
---|
| 536 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
| 537 | is now fixed. |
---|
| 538 | |
---|
[1451] | 539 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
| 540 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|
| 541 | PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide |
---|
[1449] | 542 | |
---|
| 543 | - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration |
---|
[1450] | 544 | is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for |
---|
| 545 | testing. |
---|
[1448] | 546 | |

---|
| 553 | |
---|
| 554 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|

---|
| 556 | |
---|
[1417] | 557 | - 1.19alpha1 : |
---|
| 558 | |

---|
| 598 | |
---|
| 599 | - Pre and Post hooks are now available in the pykota |
---|
| 600 | filter as well. |
---|
| 601 | |
---|
| 602 | - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota |
---|
[1377] | 603 | anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used : |
---|
| 604 | this will be done anyway the next time the last |
---|
| 605 | user will print again. This saves some database |
---|
| 606 | queries which are unneeded. |
---|
[1376] | 607 | |
---|
[1372] | 608 | - 1.18alpha12 : |

---|
| 663 | Most notably cupspykota, pykota, and the shell |
---|
| 664 | scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota |
---|
| 665 | instead of into /usr/bin |
---|
| 666 | BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link |
---|
| 667 | to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf |
---|
| 668 | file use correct path for the shell scripts like |

---|
| 841 | - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend, |
---|
| 842 | you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to |
---|
| 843 | be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions, |
---|
| 844 | this is not the case anymore. |

| 893 | |
---|
[1179] | 894 | - 1.16alpha6 : |
---|
| 895 | |
---|
| 896 | - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer |

| 938 | They have to be created manually before. |
---|
| 939 | Look at sample configuration file for examples. |
---|

---|
[1149] | 941 | - 1.15alpha8 : |

---|
| 966 | |
---|
| 967 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|
| 968 | REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows |

---|
| 971 | unrestricted access is granted. |

---|
| 986 | |
---|
| 987 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
| 988 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
| 989 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
| 990 | |
---|
[1111] | 991 | - 1.14beta2 : |

| 1021 | |
---|
| 1022 | - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above |

[1017] | 1181 | - More good work on LDAP storage. |
---|
| 1182 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
[1016] | 1183 | |
---|
[1014] | 1184 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
| 1185 | |
---|
| 1186 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
| 1187 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
| 1188 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
| 1189 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
| 1190 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
| 1191 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
| 1192 | |
---|
[1000] | 1193 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
| 1194 | |
---|
| 1195 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
| 1196 | |
---|
| 1197 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
| 1198 | |
---|
| 1199 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
| 1200 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
| 1201 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
| 1202 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
| 1203 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
| 1204 | |
---|
| 1205 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
| 1206 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
| 1207 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
| 1208 | |
---|
| 1209 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
| 1210 | |
---|
[998] | 1211 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
| 1212 | |
---|
| 1213 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
| 1214 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
[1000] | 1215 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
[998] | 1216 | |
---|
[991] | 1217 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
| 1218 | |
---|
| 1219 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
| 1220 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
| 1221 | |
---|
[989] | 1222 | - 1.06 : |
---|
| 1223 | |
---|
| 1224 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
| 1225 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
| 1226 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
| 1227 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
| 1228 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
| 1229 | |
---|
[980] | 1230 | - 1.05 : |
---|
| 1231 | |
---|
| 1232 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
| 1233 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
| 1234 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
| 1235 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
| 1236 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
| 1237 | learn how to do. |
---|
| 1238 | |
---|
| 1239 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
| 1240 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
| 1241 | sent to the printer. |
---|
| 1242 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
| 1243 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
| 1244 | the printer. |
---|
| 1245 | |
---|
[976] | 1246 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
| 1247 | |
---|
| 1248 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
| 1249 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
| 1250 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
| 1251 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
| 1252 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1253 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
| 1254 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
| 1255 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
[978] | 1256 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
[976] | 1257 | |
---|
[973] | 1258 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
| 1259 | |
---|
| 1260 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
| 1261 | |
---|
[975] | 1262 | - Better error handling. |
---|
| 1263 | |
---|
[962] | 1264 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
| 1265 | |
---|
[969] | 1266 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
| 1267 | |
---|
[962] | 1268 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
| 1269 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
| 1270 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
| 1271 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
| 1272 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
| 1273 | |
---|
[970] | 1274 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
| 1275 | |
---|
[960] | 1276 | - 1.04 : |
---|
[956] | 1277 | |
---|
| 1278 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
| 1279 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
| 1280 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
| 1281 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
| 1282 | |
---|
[954] | 1283 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
| 1284 | |
---|
[953] | 1285 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
| 1286 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
| 1287 | |
---|
[950] | 1288 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
| 1289 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
| 1290 | |
---|
[947] | 1291 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
| 1292 | |
---|
| 1293 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
| 1294 | |
---|
[942] | 1295 | - 1.03 : |
---|
| 1296 | |
---|
| 1297 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
| 1298 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
[965] | 1299 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
[942] | 1300 | |
---|
[932] | 1301 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
[929] | 1302 | |
---|
[932] | 1303 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
| 1304 | subdirectory. |
---|
| 1305 | |
---|
[936] | 1306 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
| 1307 | |
---|
[927] | 1308 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
| 1309 | |
---|
[910] | 1310 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
| 1311 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
| 1312 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
| 1313 | |
---|
[917] | 1314 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
| 1315 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
| 1316 | details. |
---|
| 1317 | |
---|
[885] | 1318 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
| 1319 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
[892] | 1320 | |
---|
| 1321 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
[885] | 1322 | |
---|
[894] | 1323 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
| 1324 | |
---|
[899] | 1325 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
| 1326 | reports in the future. |
---|
[900] | 1327 | |
---|
| 1328 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
| 1329 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
| 1330 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
| 1331 | |
---|
[901] | 1332 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
| 1333 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
| 1334 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
| 1335 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
| 1336 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[909] | 1337 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
| 1338 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
| 1339 | in this case. |
---|
[908] | 1340 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
| 1341 | off. |
---|
[901] | 1342 | |
---|
| 1343 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
| 1344 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
[908] | 1345 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
| 1346 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
[901] | 1347 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[908] | 1348 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
[925] | 1349 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
[901] | 1350 | |
---|
[907] | 1351 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |
---|
| 1352 | had a quota on the specified printer. |
---|
| 1353 | |
---|
[913] | 1354 | - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary |
---|
| 1355 | 1.03 versions, and fixed later on. |
---|
[915] | 1356 | |
---|
| 1357 | - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed. |
---|
[913] | 1358 | |
---|
[919] | 1359 | - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration |
---|
| 1360 | file for details. |
---|
[925] | 1361 | |
---|
| 1362 | - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by |
---|
| 1363 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
[919] | 1364 | |
---|
[877] | 1365 | - 1.02 : |
---|
[859] | 1366 | |
---|
[871] | 1367 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
| 1368 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
| 1369 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
| 1370 | |
---|
[872] | 1371 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
| 1372 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
| 1373 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
| 1374 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
| 1375 | if needed. |
---|
| 1376 | |
---|
[859] | 1377 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
| 1378 | |
---|
| 1379 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
| 1380 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1381 | |
---|
[872] | 1382 | - Better general error handling. |
---|
[859] | 1383 | |
---|
[875] | 1384 | - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now |
---|
| 1385 | included as well. |
---|
| 1386 | |
---|
[852] | 1387 | - 1.01 : |
---|
| 1388 | |
---|
| 1389 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
| 1390 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
| 1391 | |
---|
| 1392 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
| 1393 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
| 1394 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1395 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1396 | |
---|
[853] | 1397 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
| 1398 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 1399 | for details. |
---|
| 1400 | |
---|
[852] | 1401 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
| 1402 | add this information to this file. |
---|
| 1403 | |
---|
[855] | 1404 | - Redistribution terms for the official package have |
---|
| 1405 | softened and are now fully GPL compatible : |
---|
| 1406 | unrestricted modification is now allowed even for |
---|
| 1407 | the version number. |
---|
| 1408 | |
---|
[846] | 1409 | - 1.00 : |
---|
| 1410 | |
---|
| 1411 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
| 1412 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
| 1413 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
| 1414 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
| 1415 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
| 1416 | |
---|
| 1417 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
| 1418 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
| 1419 | |
---|
| 1420 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |
---|
| 1421 | |
---|
[833] | 1422 | - 0.99 : |
---|
| 1423 | |
---|
| 1424 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
---|
| 1425 | to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is |
---|
| 1426 | now fixed. |
---|
| 1427 | |
---|
| 1428 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
[835] | 1429 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
---|
[833] | 1430 | |
---|
[827] | 1431 | - 0.98 : |
---|
| 1432 | |
---|
| 1433 | - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off. |
---|
| 1434 | |
---|
[828] | 1435 | - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. |
---|
| 1436 | |
---|
[819] | 1437 | - 0.97 : |
---|
| 1438 | |
---|
| 1439 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
---|
| 1440 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
| 1441 | |
---|
| 1442 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
| 1443 | |
---|
[821] | 1444 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
[819] | 1445 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
| 1446 | |
---|
| 1447 | - Small bug fixes. |
---|
| 1448 | |
---|
[803] | 1449 | - 0.96 : |
---|
| 1450 | |
---|
[808] | 1451 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
---|
[807] | 1452 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
| 1453 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
[803] | 1454 | |
---|
[807] | 1455 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
| 1456 | |
---|
| 1457 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
| 1458 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
| 1459 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
[803] | 1460 | |
---|
[797] | 1461 | - 0.95 : |
---|
| 1462 | |
---|

---|
| 1465 | - Full internationalization (english and french are supported) |
---|
| 1466 | |
---|
| 1467 | - More complete quota usage report |
---|
| 1468 | |
---|
| 1469 | - CGI script to access to the quota usage report |
---|
| 1470 | |
---|
| 1471 | - Several bugs fixed. |
---|
| 1472 | |
---|
| 1473 | |
---|
| 1474 | - 0.9 : |
---|
| 1475 | |
---|
