---|
[2074] | 171 | - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting |

---|
| 193 | to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample |
---|

---|
| 197 | |
---|
| 198 | - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script |
---|

---|
| 202 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |

---|
| 209 | to parse dumpykota's output instead. |
---|
| 210 | |
---|
| 211 | - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive |
---|
| 212 | to allow up to N (the directive's value) deny banners to be |
---|
| 213 | printed even if the print account is forbidden to print. |
---|
| 214 | |
---|
| 215 | - Better detection of the number of copies in the PostScript parser. |
---|

---|
[2030] | 229 | |
---|
[2032] | 230 | - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to |
---|
| 231 | a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is |
---|
| 232 | necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER |
---|
| 233 | environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see |
---|
| 234 | the file cgi-bin/README for details. |
---|
| 235 | The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota |
---|
| 236 | administrator. |
---|

---|
[2032] | 238 | - Fix exception's name error due to a change in recent versions |
---|

---|
| 248 | allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be |
---|
| 249 | interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you |
---|
| 250 | may have to change your web server's configuration, |
---|
| 251 | please see pykota/cgi-bin/README |
---|
| 252 | |

---|
[2014] | 255 | - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log |
---|
[2013] | 256 | format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows |
---|
| 257 | people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer |
---|
| 258 | (two completely different beasts) with PyKota. |
---|
| 259 | |

---|
| 288 | |

[1967] | 300 | - 1.21alpha11 : |
---|
| 301 | |
---|
[1969] | 302 | - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly |

| 305 | See the sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 306 | |
---|

| 321 | |
---|
[1962] | 322 | - Now searches the configuration files in 'pykota' system user's |
---|
[1961] | 323 | home directory. The 'pykota' system user and group have |

---|
| 516 | |
---|
| 517 | - Hardware accounter now accepts the special |
---|
| 518 | 'snmp' value, meaning ALL is done from main code |
---|

---|
| 521 | for this to work (tested with v3.4.2) |
---|
| 522 | |

---|
| 587 | |
---|
[1683] | 588 | - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being |
---|
| 589 | fooled by a change in number of copies : |
---|
| 590 | The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy |
---|
| 591 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|
| 592 | this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but |
---|
| 593 | now the maximum value seen is used. |
---|
| 594 | |
---|
[1681] | 595 | - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange |

---|
[1678] | 607 | - Now software accounting method reads accounter's |
---|
| 608 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
| 609 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
| 610 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
| 611 | when strange locale related messages are sent |
---|
| 612 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
| 613 | |
---|
[1676] | 614 | - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work |
---|
| 615 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |

---|
| 617 | work to correctly analyze other devices. |

---|
| 707 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
| 708 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
| 709 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
| 710 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
| 711 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
| 712 | |

| 729 | |
---|
[1572] | 730 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
| 731 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
| 732 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
| 733 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
| 734 | |
---|
[1570] | 735 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|

---|
| 772 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
| 773 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
| 774 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
| 775 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
| 776 | version of Python. |
---|
[1547] | 777 | |
---|
[1546] | 778 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
[1545] | 779 | |
---|
[1542] | 780 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
| 781 | |
---|
[1544] | 782 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
| 783 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
| 784 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
| 785 | |
---|
[1543] | 786 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
| 787 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
| 788 | and PS. |
---|
| 789 | |
---|
[1542] | 790 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
| 791 | |
---|
[1541] | 792 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
| 793 | |
---|
[1542] | 794 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
[1541] | 795 | |
---|
[1536] | 796 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
| 797 | |
---|
| 798 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
| 799 | |
---|
[1539] | 800 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
| 801 | files are parsed. |
---|
| 802 | |
---|
[1526] | 803 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
| 804 | |
---|
| 805 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
| 806 | or version. |
---|
[1527] | 807 | |
---|
| 808 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
[1532] | 809 | |
---|
| 810 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
| 811 | |
---|
| 812 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
| 813 | cause problems. |
---|
[1500] | 814 | |
---|
[1522] | 815 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
| 816 | |
---|
| 817 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
| 818 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
| 819 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
| 820 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
| 821 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
| 822 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
| 823 | |
---|
[1524] | 824 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
| 825 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
| 826 | more easily readable. |
---|
| 827 | |
---|
[1517] | 828 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
| 829 | |
---|
| 830 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
| 831 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
| 832 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
| 833 | |
---|
| 834 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
| 835 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
| 836 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
| 837 | |
---|
| 838 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
[1519] | 839 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
[1521] | 840 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
| 841 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
[1517] | 842 | |
---|
[1521] | 843 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
| 844 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
| 845 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
| 846 | |
---|
[1502] | 847 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
| 848 | |
---|
[1510] | 849 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
| 850 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
| 851 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
| 852 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
| 853 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
| 854 | |
---|
[1502] | 855 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
| 856 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
| 857 | |
---|
[1500] | 858 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
| 859 | |
---|
| 860 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
| 861 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
| 862 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
| 863 | |
---|
[1495] | 864 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
| 865 | |
---|
[1499] | 866 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
| 867 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
| 868 | |
---|
[1498] | 869 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
| 870 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
| 871 | |
---|
[1497] | 872 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
| 873 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
| 874 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
| 875 | feature. |
---|
| 876 | |
---|
[1495] | 877 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
| 878 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 879 | for details. |
---|
| 880 | |
---|
[1494] | 881 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
| 882 | |
---|
| 883 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
| 884 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
| 885 | as time permits. |
---|
| 886 | |
---|
[1492] | 887 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
| 888 | |
---|
| 889 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
| 890 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 891 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
| 892 | job. |
---|
| 893 | |
---|
[1490] | 894 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
| 895 | |
---|
| 896 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
| 897 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
| 898 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
| 899 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
| 900 | in the near future. |
---|
| 901 | |
---|
[1483] | 902 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
| 903 | |
---|
[1488] | 904 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
| 905 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
| 906 | |
---|
[1487] | 907 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
| 908 | |
---|
[1485] | 909 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
| 910 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
| 911 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
| 912 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
| 913 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
| 914 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
| 915 | |
---|
[1483] | 916 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
| 917 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
| 918 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
| 919 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 920 | |
---|
[1478] | 921 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
| 922 | |
---|
[1482] | 923 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
| 924 | |
---|
[1480] | 925 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
| 926 | too. |
---|
| 927 | |
---|
[1478] | 928 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
| 929 | |
---|
[1475] | 930 | - 1.19alpha8 : |
---|
| 931 | |
---|
| 932 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
| 933 | |
---|
| 934 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
| 935 | |
---|
| 936 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 937 | |
---|
| 938 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 939 | |
---|
| 940 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
| 941 | |
---|
[1473] | 942 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
| 943 | |
---|
| 944 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
| 945 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
| 946 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
| 947 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
| 948 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
| 949 | |
---|
[1463] | 950 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
| 951 | |
---|
[1471] | 952 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
| 953 | |
---|
[1463] | 954 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
| 955 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
| 956 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
| 957 | PostScript. |
---|
| 958 | |
---|
[1464] | 959 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 960 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
| 961 | |
---|
[1451] | 962 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
| 963 | |
---|
[1458] | 964 | - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least) |
---|
| 965 | |
---|
[1459] | 966 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
| 967 | problems under heavy load. |
---|
| 968 | |
---|
[1456] | 969 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
| 970 | |
---|
[1453] | 971 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
| 972 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
| 973 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
| 974 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
[1451] | 975 | |
---|
[1455] | 976 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
| 977 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
| 978 | |
---|
[1447] | 979 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
| 980 | |
---|
| 981 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
| 982 | is now fixed. |
---|
| 983 | |
---|
[1451] | 984 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
| 985 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|
| 986 | PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide |
---|
[1449] | 987 | |
---|
| 988 | - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration |
---|
[1450] | 989 | is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for |
---|
| 990 | testing. |
---|
[1448] | 991 | |
---|
[1437] | 992 | - 1.19alpha3 : |
---|
| 993 | |
---|
| 994 | - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument |
---|
| 995 | to list informations about printers. |
---|
| 996 | |
---|
[1430] | 997 | - 1.19alpha2 : |
---|
| 998 | |
---|
| 999 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|
| 1000 | accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL. |
---|
| 1001 | |
---|
[1417] | 1002 | - 1.19alpha1 : |
---|
| 1003 | |
---|
[1421] | 1004 | - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too. |
---|
| 1005 | |
---|
[1417] | 1006 | - Inclusion of Michele Baldessari's work on autotools. |
---|
| 1007 | |

---|
| 1014 | - Fix for raw jobs with cupspykota |
---|
| 1015 | |
---|
[1404] | 1016 | - 1.18beta : |
---|
| 1017 | |
---|
[1405] | 1018 | - Small fix for new waitprinter.sh script |

[1398] | 1027 | |
---|
| 1028 | - waitprinter.sh replaced by a new and possibly faster |
---|
[1404] | 1029 | and more powerful one. |

---|
[1381] | 1035 | - 1.18alpha14 : |
---|
| 1036 | |
---|
[1384] | 1037 | - Catches more (all ?) problems with SMTP servers instead |
---|
| 1038 | of breaking. |
---|
| 1039 | |
---|
[1381] | 1040 | - Italian translation added. |
---|
| 1041 | |
---|
[1376] | 1042 | - 1.18alpha13 : |
---|
| 1043 | |
---|
| 1044 | - Pre and Post hooks are now available in the pykota |
---|
| 1045 | filter as well. |
---|
| 1046 | |
---|
| 1047 | - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota |
---|
[1377] | 1048 | anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used : |
---|
| 1049 | this will be done anyway the next time the last |
---|
| 1050 | user will print again. This saves some database |
---|
| 1051 | queries which are unneeded. |
---|
[1376] | 1052 | |
---|
[1372] | 1053 | - 1.18alpha12 : |

| 1054 | |
---|
[1376] | 1055 | - Pre and Post hooks to external commands with many |
---|
[1372] | 1056 | many environment variables available are useable |

---|
| 1084 | |
---|

---|
| 1089 | |
---|
| 1090 | - New configuration directive added : maildomain |
---|
| 1091 | to specify the domain to send mail to when user |
---|
| 1092 | email address is not set in PyKota database. |
---|
| 1093 | |
---|
| 1094 | - More complete email message headers. |
---|
| 1095 | |
---|
[1351] | 1096 | - 1.18alpha5 : |
---|
| 1097 | |
---|

---|
| 1100 | |
---|
| 1101 | - Preliminary work on future low-level LDAP caching to speed |
---|
| 1102 | up modifications (at least). |
---|
| 1103 | |
---|
[1338] | 1104 | - 1.18alpha4 : |
---|
| 1105 | |
---|
[1345] | 1106 | - Applied some of the modifications suggested by |
---|
| 1107 | Peter Hawkins, for better Debian integration. |
---|
| 1108 | Most notably cupspykota, pykota, and the shell |
---|
| 1109 | scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota |
---|
| 1110 | instead of into /usr/bin |
---|
| 1111 | BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link |
---|
| 1112 | to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf |
---|
| 1113 | file use correct path for the shell scripts like |
---|
| 1114 | waitprinter.sh and al. |
---|
| 1115 | |
---|
[1338] | 1116 | - pkhint command added, to help in configuring correct |
---|
| 1117 | accounting method for PyKota. |
---|
| 1118 | |
---|
[1336] | 1119 | - 1.18alpha3 : |
---|
| 1120 | |
---|
| 1121 | - Fixed a rare bug in cupspykota backend which gave |

---|
| 1153 | added to the documentation. Doesn't yet document v1.16 |
---|
| 1154 | though. |
---|

| 1289 | this is not the case anymore. |

[1212] | 1290 | |
---|
[1203] | 1291 | - 1.16alpha12 : |

---|
| 1294 | if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the |
---|
| 1295 | history is not reset : the history would have given a false |
---|
| 1296 | amount of money charged before the printer's prices were |
---|
| 1297 | modified, this addition solves the problem. |
---|
| 1298 | |

---|
| 1321 | file for details. |
---|
| 1322 | |

---|
| 1338 | |
---|
[1179] | 1339 | - 1.16alpha6 : |
---|
| 1340 | |
---|

---|
[1178] | 1345 | - 1.16alpha5 : |
---|
| 1346 | |
---|
| 1347 | - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration ! |
---|

---|
| 1411 | |
---|
| 1412 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|

---|
| 1416 | unrestricted access is granted. |

[1113] | 1430 | - 1.14 : |
---|
| 1431 | |
---|
| 1432 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
| 1433 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
| 1434 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
| 1435 | |
---|
[1111] | 1436 | - 1.14beta2 : |

---|
| 1572 | |
---|
| 1573 | - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass |
---|
| 1574 | users or groups names on the command line. Users |
---|
| 1575 | and groups names may contain wildcards. |
---|
| 1576 | |
---|
| 1577 | - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the |
---|
| 1578 | current user when launched by non-root users. |
---|
| 1579 | |
---|
| 1580 | - Minor bug fixes. |
---|
| 1581 | |
---|
[1029] | 1582 | - 1.09alpha1 : |
---|
| 1583 | |
---|
| 1584 | - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options |
---|
| 1585 | were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some |
---|
| 1586 | hints to the LDAP storage backend. |
---|
[1044] | 1587 | |
---|
| 1588 | - Severe database access optimizations were done by |

[1021] | 1597 | - 1.08alpha8 : |
---|
| 1598 | |
---|
| 1599 | - Code refactoring. |
---|
[1029] | 1600 | |
---|
[1021] | 1601 | - A single user/password pair is used to connect |
---|
| 1602 | to the database backend. The storageuser configuration |
---|
| 1603 | field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are |
---|
| 1604 | not used anymore. |
---|
[1029] | 1605 | |
---|
[1022] | 1606 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |
---|
| 1607 | file for details. |
---|
| 1608 | WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in |
---|
| 1609 | debug mode, for now. |

[1017] | 1622 | - More work on LDAP : new schema |
---|
| 1623 | |
---|
[1016] | 1624 | - 1.08alpha5 : |
---|
| 1625 | |
---|
[1017] | 1626 | - More good work on LDAP storage. |
---|
| 1627 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
[1016] | 1628 | |
---|
[1014] | 1629 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
| 1630 | |
---|
| 1631 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
| 1632 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
| 1633 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
| 1634 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
| 1635 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
| 1636 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
| 1637 | |
---|
[1000] | 1638 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
| 1639 | |
---|
| 1640 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
| 1641 | |
---|
| 1642 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
| 1643 | |
---|
| 1644 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
| 1645 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
| 1646 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
| 1647 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
| 1648 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
| 1649 | |
---|
| 1650 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
| 1651 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
| 1652 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
| 1653 | |
---|
| 1654 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
| 1655 | |
---|
[998] | 1656 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
| 1657 | |
---|
| 1658 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
| 1659 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
[1000] | 1660 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
[998] | 1661 | |
---|
[991] | 1662 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
| 1663 | |
---|
| 1664 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
| 1665 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
| 1666 | |
---|
[989] | 1667 | - 1.06 : |
---|
| 1668 | |
---|
| 1669 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
| 1670 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
| 1671 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
| 1672 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
| 1673 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
| 1674 | |
---|
[980] | 1675 | - 1.05 : |
---|
| 1676 | |
---|
| 1677 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
| 1678 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
| 1679 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
| 1680 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
| 1681 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
| 1682 | learn how to do. |
---|
| 1683 | |
---|
| 1684 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
| 1685 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
| 1686 | sent to the printer. |
---|
| 1687 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
| 1688 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
| 1689 | the printer. |
---|
| 1690 | |
---|
[976] | 1691 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
| 1692 | |
---|
| 1693 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
| 1694 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
| 1695 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
| 1696 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
| 1697 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1698 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
| 1699 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
| 1700 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
[978] | 1701 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
[976] | 1702 | |
---|
[973] | 1703 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
| 1704 | |
---|
| 1705 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
| 1706 | |
---|
[975] | 1707 | - Better error handling. |
---|
| 1708 | |
---|
[962] | 1709 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
| 1710 | |
---|
[969] | 1711 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
| 1712 | |
---|
[962] | 1713 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
| 1714 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
| 1715 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
| 1716 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
| 1717 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
| 1718 | |
---|
[970] | 1719 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
| 1720 | |
---|
[960] | 1721 | - 1.04 : |
---|
[956] | 1722 | |
---|
| 1723 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
| 1724 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
| 1725 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
| 1726 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
| 1727 | |
---|
[954] | 1728 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
| 1729 | |
---|
[953] | 1730 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
| 1731 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
| 1732 | |
---|
[950] | 1733 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
| 1734 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
| 1735 | |
---|
[947] | 1736 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
| 1737 | |
---|
| 1738 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
| 1739 | |
---|
[942] | 1740 | - 1.03 : |
---|
| 1741 | |
---|
| 1742 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
| 1743 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
[965] | 1744 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
[942] | 1745 | |
---|
[932] | 1746 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
[929] | 1747 | |
---|
[932] | 1748 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
| 1749 | subdirectory. |
---|
| 1750 | |
---|
[936] | 1751 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
| 1752 | |
---|
[927] | 1753 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
| 1754 | |
---|
[910] | 1755 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
| 1756 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
| 1757 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
| 1758 | |
---|
[917] | 1759 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
| 1760 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
| 1761 | details. |
---|
| 1762 | |
---|
[885] | 1763 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
| 1764 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
[892] | 1765 | |
---|
| 1766 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
[885] | 1767 | |
---|
[894] | 1768 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
| 1769 | |
---|
[899] | 1770 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
| 1771 | reports in the future. |
---|
[900] | 1772 | |
---|
| 1773 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
| 1774 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
| 1775 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
| 1776 | |
---|
[901] | 1777 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
| 1778 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
| 1779 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
| 1780 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
| 1781 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[909] | 1782 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
| 1783 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
| 1784 | in this case. |
---|
[908] | 1785 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
| 1786 | off. |
---|
[901] | 1787 | |
---|
| 1788 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
| 1789 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
[908] | 1790 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
| 1791 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
[901] | 1792 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[908] | 1793 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
[925] | 1794 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
[901] | 1795 | |
---|
[907] | 1796 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |
---|
| 1797 | had a quota on the specified printer. |
---|
| 1798 | |
---|
[913] | 1799 | - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary |
---|
| 1800 | 1.03 versions, and fixed later on. |
---|
[915] | 1801 | |
---|
| 1802 | - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed. |
---|
[913] | 1803 | |
---|
[919] | 1804 | - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration |
---|
| 1805 | file for details. |
---|
[925] | 1806 | |
---|
| 1807 | - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by |
---|
| 1808 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
[919] | 1809 | |
---|
[877] | 1810 | - 1.02 : |
---|
[859] | 1811 | |
---|
[871] | 1812 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
| 1813 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
| 1814 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
| 1815 | |
---|
[872] | 1816 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
| 1817 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
| 1818 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
| 1819 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
| 1820 | if needed. |
---|
| 1821 | |
---|
[859] | 1822 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
| 1823 | |
---|
| 1824 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
| 1825 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1826 | |
---|
[872] | 1827 | - Better general error handling. |
---|
[859] | 1828 | |
---|
[875] | 1829 | - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now |
---|
| 1830 | included as well. |
---|
| 1831 | |
---|
[852] | 1832 | - 1.01 : |
---|
| 1833 | |
---|
| 1834 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
| 1835 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
| 1836 | |
---|
| 1837 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
| 1838 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
| 1839 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1840 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
| 1841 | |
---|
[853] | 1842 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
| 1843 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 1844 | for details. |
---|
| 1845 | |
---|
[852] | 1846 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
| 1847 | add this information to this file. |
---|
| 1848 | |
---|
[855] | 1849 | - Redistribution terms for the official package have |
---|
| 1850 | softened and are now fully GPL compatible : |
---|
| 1851 | unrestricted modification is now allowed even for |
---|
| 1852 | the version number. |
---|
| 1853 | |
---|
[846] | 1854 | - 1.00 : |
---|
| 1855 | |
---|
| 1856 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
| 1857 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
| 1858 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
| 1859 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
| 1860 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
| 1861 | |
---|
| 1862 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
| 1863 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
| 1864 | |
---|
| 1865 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |
---|
| 1866 | |
---|
[833] | 1867 | - 0.99 : |
---|
| 1868 | |
---|
| 1869 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
---|
| 1870 | to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is |
---|
| 1871 | now fixed. |
---|
| 1872 | |
---|
| 1873 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
[835] | 1874 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
---|
[833] | 1875 | |
---|
[827] | 1876 | - 0.98 : |
---|
| 1877 | |
---|
| 1878 | - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off. |
---|
| 1879 | |
---|
[828] | 1880 | - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. |
---|
| 1881 | |
---|
[819] | 1882 | - 0.97 : |
---|
| 1883 | |
---|
| 1884 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
---|
| 1885 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
| 1886 | |
---|
| 1887 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
| 1888 | |
---|
[821] | 1889 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
[819] | 1890 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
| 1891 | |
---|
| 1892 | - Small bug fixes. |
---|
| 1893 | |
---|
[803] | 1894 | - 0.96 : |
---|
| 1895 | |
---|
[808] | 1896 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
---|
[807] | 1897 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
| 1898 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
[803] | 1899 | |
---|
[807] | 1900 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
| 1901 | |
---|
| 1902 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
| 1903 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
| 1904 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
[803] | 1905 | |
---|
[797] | 1906 | - 0.95 : |
---|
| 1907 | |
---|
[798] | 1908 | - External requesters for printers finally added. |
---|
