---|
[2593] | 24 | - 1.24alpha4 : |
---|
| 25 | |
---|
| 26 | - Added support for the SQLite3 backend. |
---|
| 27 | See pykota/initscripts/sqlite/README.sqlite |
---|
| 28 | |
---|
[2588] | 29 | - 1.24alpha3 : |
---|
| 30 | |
---|
| 31 | - Fix for mailandpopup.sh : smbstatus can't be run setuid, |
---|
| 32 | so we regain priviledges before running an external |
---|
| 33 | mailto directive. |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
[2584] | 35 | - 1.24alpha2 : |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | - Introduce the "onbackenderror" directive in pykota.conf, to |
---|
| 38 | control if the user must be charged or not whenever a real |
---|
| 39 | CUPS backend fails. The default value is 'nocharge'. |
---|
| 40 | Set it to 'charge' if you think your users can cause a CUPS |
---|
| 41 | backend to fail. |
---|
| 42 | |
---|
| 43 | - Now mark original backends related problems as such in the |
---|
| 44 | printing history. Modified printquota.cgi and pykota.css |
---|
| 45 | to make them be more visible. |
---|
| 46 | |
---|
[2576] | 47 | - 1.24alpha1 : |
---|
| 48 | |
---|
[2581] | 49 | - Fixed a problem which caused backend errors to be ignored. |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
[2576] | 51 | - The sample LDIF file now contains the two necessary user |
---|
| 52 | entries to have an LDAP PyKota Admin and an LDAP PyKota |
---|
| 53 | ReadOnly user. The sample configuration files were updated |
---|
| 54 | to contain the default passwords used in the LDIF file. |
---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | - dumpykota is now more strict when checking arguments. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
[2562] | 58 | - 1.23 : |
---|
| 59 | |
---|
| 60 | - Many minor bug fixes and code cleaning. |

---|
| 67 | |
---|
[2474] | 68 | - 1.23beta : |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
| 70 | - Now the mailto directive is honored in all cases where the job is |
---|
| 71 | denied or a warning has to be issued, and the correct reason |
---|
| 72 | can be sent back to the user. |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | - The PYKOTAREASON environment variable, if defined, contains the |
---|
| 75 | textual reason why the job was denied or a warning has to be |
---|
| 76 | issued. |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
[2465] | 78 | - 1.23alpha31 : |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | - Added support for --maxjobsize, --passthrough and --nopassthrough |
---|
| 81 | in pkprinters. These modes are now also honored when printing. |
---|
| 82 | |
---|
[2466] | 83 | - Allows the admin to restrict the number of print queues which will |
---|
| 84 | be treated by pkturnkey by passing queues' names as additionnal |
---|
| 85 | arguments on pkturnkey's command line. |
---|
| 86 | |
---|
[2467] | 87 | - pkturnkey now supersedes pkhint with the help of the -c | --doconf |
---|
| 88 | command line option. |
---|
| 89 | |
---|
[2452] | 90 | - 1.23alpha30 : |
---|
| 91 | |
---|
| 92 | - Database changes : you MUST use upgrade-to-1.23.sql again if you |
---|
| 93 | use PostgreSQL, or copy the new schema and restart your LDAP |
---|
| 94 | server if you use LDAP. |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | - The -C | --comment command line switch was added to edpykota to |
---|
| 97 | attach textual information to modifications done to a user's |
---|
| 98 | account balance. |
---|
| 99 | |
---|
| 100 | - The -l | --limitby command line switch to edpykota was modified |
---|
| 101 | to allow 'noquota', 'nochange', and 'noprint'. See the edpykota |
---|
| 102 | command's help or manual page for details. |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | - The -i | --ingroups command line switch to repykota allows |
---|
| 105 | PyKota Administrators to only lists members of the specified |
---|
| 106 | group or groups (separated with commas). |
---|
| 107 | |
---|
[2454] | 108 | - The -I | --increase command line switch to edpykota allows |
---|
| 109 | to increase or decrease page limits. |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
[2455] | 111 | - Added the precomputed job's size and price to the history |
---|
| 112 | for controlling purpose. |

---|
[2447] | 114 | - 1.23alpha29 : |
---|
| 115 | |
---|
[2449] | 116 | - Fixed a small problem with billing codes. |
---|
| 117 | |
---|
[2448] | 118 | - Exports some environment variables earlier, to render the script |
---|
| 119 | launched by the overwrite_jobticket directive more powerful. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
[2447] | 121 | - Now autopykota also creates print quota entries for the user on the |
---|
| 122 | printers groups the current printer is a member of. |
---|
| 123 | |

---|
| 131 | |
---|
| 132 | - Replaced the --dryrun command line option by the --force |
---|
| 133 | command line option in pkturnkey, with exactly the opposite |
---|
| 134 | effect (for security reasons). |
---|
| 135 | |
---|
[2425] | 136 | - 1.23alpha26 : |
---|
| 137 | |
---|
| 138 | - Allows parametrized pjl and snmp hardware accounting methods, |
---|
| 139 | to be able to respectively set the TCP port and the SNMP |

[2418] | 150 | - 1.23alpha24 : |
---|
| 151 | |
---|
| 152 | - Allows different databases to be used depending on the |
---|
| 153 | user's rights. This allows PyKota admins to directly |
---|
| 154 | use a master LDAP server for read+write, while letting |
---|
| 155 | normal users using the replicas for readonly access. |
---|
| 156 | NB : using different storage backends is also possible, |
---|
| 157 | but you're on your own there. |

---|
| 168 | It's now much more readable, maintainable, etc... |
---|
| 169 | |
---|
| 170 | - LPRng support is OFFICIALLY dropped for now. LPRng users are |
---|
| 171 | advised to download earlier releases or purchase the |
---|
| 172 | PyKota v1.22HotFix1 Official release. LPRng support |
---|
| 173 | MIGHT be re-added later. |

---|
| 181 | |
---|
| 182 | - Added the overwrite_jobticket directive. See pykota.conf.sample |

---|
| 204 | |
---|
| 205 | - pkpgcounter is now distributed separately only. This |
---|
| 206 | means that people must now download and install pkpgcounter |
---|
| 207 | v1.56 or higher prior to being able to run PyKota. |
---|
| 208 | |
---|
| 209 | - Removed all the autoconf/automake stuff which was outdated |

[2344] | 212 | - 1.23alpha16 : |
---|
| 213 | |
---|
| 214 | - Extracted the GPL blurb from all commands' help, and use |
---|
| 215 | a static version only once. This saves space big time, and |
---|
| 216 | eases future translations. |
---|

---|
| 245 | in addition to parsing them. |
---|
| 246 | |
---|
[2305] | 247 | - 1.23alpha9 : |
---|
| 248 | |
---|
[2308] | 249 | - The denyduplicates directive now accepts a command line as an |
---|
| 250 | argument beside yes/no. The command is launched and must |
---|
| 251 | print either ALLOW or DENY to its standard output. Then the |
---|
| 252 | job gets allowed or denied by PyKota. |
---|
| 253 | This will allow user interaction in the near future. |
---|
| 254 | |
---|
[2307] | 255 | - Introduced the new 'striptitle' directive to remove ugly prefixes |
---|
| 256 | from print job's titles whenever a new print job is submitted. |
---|

---|
[2305] | 258 | - Fixed internal SNMP accounter for printers which only have a life time |

---|
| 265 | |
---|
| 266 | - The message used when the job's filename, title and options are |
---|
| 267 | hidden because of the privacy directive is now translated at |
---|
| 268 | retrieval time, instead of at saving time. |
---|
| 269 | |

| 270 | - Minor fix in the LDAP backend code. |
---|

---|
| 392 | wrappers were present in CUPS' backend directory. |

[2133] | 397 | - 1.22alpha1 : |
---|
| 398 | |

---|
| 423 | |
---|
[2074] | 424 | - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting |
---|
| 425 | directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not |
---|
| 426 | parsed again : the precomputed size is used directly in this |
---|
| 427 | case. |
---|
| 428 | |
---|
[2073] | 429 | - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts |

---|
| 450 | |
---|
| 451 | - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script |
---|

---|
| 453 | want to copy the new schema in place. |
---|
| 454 | |
---|
| 455 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |

---|
| 458 | |
---|
| 459 | - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to |
---|
| 460 | 80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse |
---|

---|
| 462 | to parse dumpykota's output instead. |
---|
| 463 | |
---|
| 464 | - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive |
---|

---|
| 466 | printed even if the print account is forbidden to print. |
---|
| 467 | |
---|
| 468 | - Better detection of the number of copies in the PostScript parser. |
---|
| 469 | |
---|

[2030] | 482 | |
---|
[2032] | 483 | - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to |
---|
| 484 | a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is |
---|
| 485 | necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER |
---|
| 486 | environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see |
---|
| 487 | the file cgi-bin/README for details. |
---|
| 488 | The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota |
---|
| 489 | administrator. |

---|
| 501 | allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be |
---|
| 502 | interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you |
---|
| 503 | may have to change your web server's configuration, |
---|
| 504 | please see pykota/cgi-bin/README |
---|
| 505 | |

---|
[2014] | 508 | - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log |
---|
[2013] | 509 | format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows |
---|
| 510 | people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer |
---|
| 511 | (two completely different beasts) with PyKota. |
---|
| 512 | |

| 774 | for this to work (tested with v3.4.2) |
---|
| 775 | |
---|
[1731] | 776 | - Increased delay between two loops iterations |
---|
| 777 | to 2 seconds in waitprinter.sh to diminish |
---|
| 778 | CPU load. |
---|
| 779 | |
---|
[1723] | 780 | - 1.20alpha12 : |
---|
| 781 | |
---|
| 782 | - waitprinter.sh rewritten from scratch to wait |
---|
| 783 | for printer status stabilization. |
---|

---|
[1717] | 785 | - 1.20alpha11 : |
---|
| 786 | |

---|
| 800 | |
---|
| 801 | - Added full support of PCL3 : HP Deskjet printers are now |
---|
| 802 | supported. |
---|
| 803 | |
---|
[1699] | 804 | - 1.20alpha7 : |
---|
| 805 | |
---|
| 806 | - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer. |
---|
| 807 | Needs more work, but no documentation is available. |
---|
| 808 | |
---|
[1692] | 809 | - 1.20alpha6 : |
---|
| 810 | |

---|
[1696] | 813 | - Small fixes for LPRng. |
---|
[1695] | 814 | |
---|
[1694] | 815 | - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers' |
---|
| 816 | hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not |
---|
| 817 | meaningful. |
---|
| 818 | |
---|
[1693] | 819 | - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules |
---|
| 820 | fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable. |
---|
| 821 | |
---|
[1692] | 822 | - Fixed a bug in LDAP user deletion code. |

| 823 | |
---|
[1687] | 824 | - 1.20alpha5 : |
---|
| 825 | |
---|
| 826 | - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror' |
---|
| 827 | to specify what must be done whenever the software or |
---|
| 828 | hardware accounter fails. Allowed values are 'continue' and |
---|
| 829 | 'stop' (default). |
---|
| 830 | |
---|
| 831 | - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced |
---|
| 832 | problem. |
---|
| 833 | |
---|

---|
| 835 | |
---|
| 836 | - Added support for more ghostscript devices in ESC/P2 |
---|
| 837 | analyzer : stcolor, st800, escp, escpc are now supported. |
---|
| 838 | |
---|
[1680] | 839 | - 1.20alpha3 : |
---|
| 840 | |
---|
[1683] | 841 | - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being |
---|
| 842 | fooled by a change in number of copies : |
---|
| 843 | The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy |
---|
| 844 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|
| 845 | this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but |
---|
| 846 | now the maximum value seen is used. |
---|
| 847 | |
---|
[1681] | 848 | - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange |
---|
| 849 | printer drivers. |
---|
| 850 | |
---|
[1680] | 851 | - Now hardware accounting method works like software |
---|
| 852 | accounting method wrt the subprocess' output. |
---|
| 853 | |
---|
[1681] | 854 | - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue |
---|
| 855 | when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will |
---|
| 856 | be configurable in the near future. |
---|
| 857 | |
---|
[1676] | 858 | - 1.20alpha2 : |
---|
| 859 | |
---|
[1678] | 860 | - Now software accounting method reads accounter's |
---|
| 861 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
| 862 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
| 863 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
| 864 | when strange locale related messages are sent |
---|
| 865 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
| 866 | |
---|
[1676] | 867 | - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work |
---|
| 868 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |
---|
| 869 | and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more |
---|
| 870 | work to correctly analyze other devices. |
---|
| 871 | |
---|
[1665] | 872 | - 1.20alpha1 : |
---|
| 873 | |

---|
| 878 | page. |
---|
| 879 | |
---|
[1673] | 880 | - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in |
---|
| 881 | PostScript code. |
---|
| 882 | |
---|
[1671] | 883 | - Added german translation. |
---|
| 884 | |
---|
[1665] | 885 | - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when |
---|
| 886 | "enforcement: strict" is used. |
---|
| 887 | |
---|
| 888 | - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation. |
---|
| 889 | |

| 897 | |
---|
[1629] | 898 | - 1.19beta : |
---|
| 899 | |
---|
| 900 | - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems |
---|
| 901 | to be OK. |
---|
| 902 | |

| 908 | |
---|
| 909 | - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker. |
---|
| 910 | |
---|
[1622] | 911 | - 1.19alpha35 : |
---|
| 912 | |
---|
| 913 | - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents |
---|
| 914 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |
---|
| 915 | |
---|
[1611] | 916 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
| 917 | |
---|
| 918 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
| 919 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
| 920 | |
---|
[1605] | 921 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
| 922 | |
---|
| 923 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
| 924 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
| 925 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
| 926 | |
---|
[1600] | 927 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
| 928 | |
---|
[1604] | 929 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
[1600] | 930 | |
---|
[1604] | 931 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
| 932 | |
---|
[1599] | 933 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
| 934 | |
---|
| 935 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
| 936 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
| 937 | this older version of Python. |
---|
| 938 | |
---|
[1592] | 939 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
| 940 | |
---|
[1595] | 941 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
| 942 | |
---|
[1593] | 943 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |
---|
| 944 | ANY character, expected '/' and '@'. |
---|
| 945 | |
---|
[1592] | 946 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
| 947 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
| 948 | |
---|
[1584] | 949 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
| 950 | |
---|
[1591] | 951 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
| 952 | copies set for each page. |
---|
| 953 | |
---|
[1588] | 954 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 955 | |
---|
| 956 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 957 | |
---|
[1584] | 958 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
| 959 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
| 960 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
| 961 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
| 962 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
| 963 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
| 964 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
| 965 | |
---|
[1575] | 966 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
| 967 | |
---|
[1582] | 968 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
| 969 | and is displayed in reports. |
---|
| 970 | |
---|
| 971 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
| 972 | |
---|
[1578] | 973 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
| 974 | |
---|
[1575] | 975 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
| 976 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
| 977 | |
---|
[1570] | 978 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
| 979 | |
---|
[1573] | 980 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
| 981 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
| 982 | |
---|
[1572] | 983 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
| 984 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
| 985 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
| 986 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
| 987 | |
---|
[1570] | 988 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
| 989 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
[1572] | 990 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
[1570] | 991 | |
---|
[1564] | 992 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
| 993 | |
---|
| 994 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
| 995 | |
---|
[1566] | 996 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
| 997 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
[1568] | 998 | |
---|
| 999 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
[1566] | 1000 | |
---|
[1556] | 1001 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
| 1002 | |
---|
[1558] | 1003 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
[1556] | 1004 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
| 1005 | |
---|
[1558] | 1006 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
[1557] | 1007 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
| 1008 | be undercharged. |
---|
| 1009 | |
---|
[1558] | 1010 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
| 1011 | |
---|
[1552] | 1012 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
| 1013 | |
---|
| 1014 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
| 1015 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
| 1016 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
| 1017 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
| 1018 | |
---|
[1545] | 1019 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
| 1020 | |
---|
[1549] | 1021 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
| 1022 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
| 1023 | |
---|
[1550] | 1024 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
| 1025 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
| 1026 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
| 1027 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
| 1028 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
| 1029 | version of Python. |
---|
[1547] | 1030 | |
---|
[1546] | 1031 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
[1545] | 1032 | |
---|
[1542] | 1033 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
| 1034 | |
---|
[1544] | 1035 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
| 1036 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
| 1037 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
| 1038 | |
---|
[1543] | 1039 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
| 1040 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
| 1041 | and PS. |
---|
| 1042 | |
---|
[1542] | 1043 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
| 1044 | |
---|
[1541] | 1045 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
| 1046 | |
---|
[1542] | 1047 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
[1541] | 1048 | |
---|
[1536] | 1049 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
| 1050 | |
---|
| 1051 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
| 1052 | |
---|
[1539] | 1053 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
| 1054 | files are parsed. |
---|
| 1055 | |
---|
[1526] | 1056 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
| 1057 | |
---|
| 1058 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
| 1059 | or version. |
---|
[1527] | 1060 | |
---|
| 1061 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
[1532] | 1062 | |
---|
| 1063 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
| 1064 | |
---|
| 1065 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
| 1066 | cause problems. |
---|
[1500] | 1067 | |
---|
[1522] | 1068 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
| 1069 | |
---|
| 1070 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
| 1071 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
| 1072 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
| 1073 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
| 1074 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
| 1075 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
| 1076 | |
---|
[1524] | 1077 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
| 1078 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
| 1079 | more easily readable. |
---|
| 1080 | |
---|
[1517] | 1081 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
| 1082 | |
---|
| 1083 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
| 1084 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
| 1085 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
| 1086 | |
---|
| 1087 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
| 1088 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
| 1089 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
| 1090 | |
---|
| 1091 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
[1519] | 1092 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
[1521] | 1093 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
| 1094 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
[1517] | 1095 | |
---|
[1521] | 1096 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
| 1097 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
| 1098 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
| 1099 | |
---|
[1502] | 1100 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
| 1101 | |
---|
[1510] | 1102 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
| 1103 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
| 1104 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
| 1105 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
| 1106 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
| 1107 | |
---|
[1502] | 1108 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
| 1109 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
| 1110 | |
---|
[1500] | 1111 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
| 1112 | |
---|
| 1113 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
| 1114 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
| 1115 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
| 1116 | |
---|
[1495] | 1117 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
| 1118 | |
---|
[1499] | 1119 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
| 1120 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
| 1121 | |
---|
[1498] | 1122 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
| 1123 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
| 1124 | |
---|
[1497] | 1125 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
| 1126 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
| 1127 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
| 1128 | feature. |
---|
| 1129 | |
---|
[1495] | 1130 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
| 1131 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 1132 | for details. |
---|
| 1133 | |
---|
[1494] | 1134 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
| 1135 | |
---|
| 1136 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
| 1137 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
| 1138 | as time permits. |
---|
| 1139 | |
---|
[1492] | 1140 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
| 1141 | |
---|
| 1142 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
| 1143 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 1144 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
| 1145 | job. |
---|
| 1146 | |
---|
[1490] | 1147 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
| 1148 | |
---|
| 1149 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
| 1150 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
| 1151 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
| 1152 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
| 1153 | in the near future. |
---|
| 1154 | |
---|
[1483] | 1155 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
| 1156 | |

[1488] | 1157 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
| 1158 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
| 1159 | |
---|
[1487] | 1160 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
| 1161 | |
---|
[1485] | 1162 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
| 1163 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
| 1164 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
| 1165 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
| 1166 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
| 1167 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
| 1168 | |
---|
[1483] | 1169 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
| 1170 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
| 1171 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |

---|
| 1200 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
| 1201 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
| 1202 | |
---|
[1463] | 1203 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
| 1204 | |
---|
[1471] | 1205 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
| 1206 | |
---|
[1463] | 1207 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
| 1208 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
| 1209 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
| 1210 | PostScript. |
---|
| 1211 | |
---|
[1464] | 1212 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 1213 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |

---|
[1453] | 1224 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
| 1225 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
| 1226 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
| 1227 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
[1451] | 1228 | |
---|

---|
| 1233 | |
---|
| 1234 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
| 1235 | is now fixed. |
---|
| 1236 | |

---|
[1449] | 1240 | |
---|
| 1241 | - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration |
---|
[1450] | 1242 | is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for |
---|

---|
| 1251 | |
---|
| 1252 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|
| 1253 | accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL. |
---|
| 1254 | |
---|
[1417] | 1255 | - 1.19alpha1 : |

---|
| 1298 | filter as well. |
---|
| 1299 | |
---|
| 1300 | - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota |
---|
[1377] | 1301 | anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used : |
---|
| 1302 | this will be done anyway the next time the last |

---|
| 1363 | instead of into /usr/bin |

[1220] | 1538 | |
---|
| 1539 | - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend, |
---|
| 1540 | you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to |
---|
| 1541 | be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions, |
---|
| 1542 | this is not the case anymore. |
---|
[1212] | 1543 | |
---|
[1203] | 1544 | - 1.16alpha12 : |
---|
| 1545 | |
---|

---|
| 1547 | if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the |
---|
| 1548 | history is not reset : the history would have given a false |
---|
| 1549 | amount of money charged before the printer's prices were |

| 1574 | file for details. |
---|
| 1575 | |

---|
| 1590 | used with LPRng though. |
---|
| 1591 | |
---|
[1179] | 1592 | - 1.16alpha6 : |
---|
| 1593 | |
---|
| 1594 | - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer |

---|
| 1596 | added to the database. |
---|
| 1597 | |
---|
[1178] | 1598 | - 1.16alpha5 : |
---|
| 1599 | |
---|
| 1600 | - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration ! |
---|
| 1601 | This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to |

---|
| 1605 | |

---|
[1152] | 1631 | - 1.15alpha9 : |
---|
| 1632 | |
---|
| 1633 | - External policy can be used to auto-add unknown users |
---|
| 1634 | and any other interesting things you may want to do. |

---|
| 1644 | control. |
---|
| 1645 | |

---|
| 1664 | |
---|
| 1665 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|
| 1666 | REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows |
---|
| 1667 | people to protect its use with .htaccess files. |
---|
| 1668 | When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then |
---|
| 1669 | unrestricted access is granted. |

---|
[1113] | 1683 | - 1.14 : |
---|
| 1684 | |
---|
| 1685 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
| 1686 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
| 1687 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
| 1688 | |
---|
[1111] | 1689 | - 1.14beta2 : |
---|
| 1690 | |
---|

---|
| 1723 | user quotas if quota is already reached at creation |
---|
| 1724 | time. |

---|
| 1730 | have Read/Write access to the Quota Database. |
---|

| 1897 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
| 1898 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
| 1899 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
| 1900 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
| 1901 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
| 1902 | |
---|

[991] | 1915 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
| 1916 | |
---|
| 1917 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
| 1918 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
| 1919 | |
---|
[989] | 1920 | - 1.06 : |
---|
| 1921 | |
---|
| 1922 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
| 1923 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
| 1924 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
| 1925 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
| 1926 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
| 1927 | |
---|
[980] | 1928 | - 1.05 : |
---|
| 1929 | |
---|
| 1930 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
| 1931 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
| 1932 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
| 1933 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
| 1934 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
| 1935 | learn how to do. |
---|
| 1936 | |
---|
| 1937 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
| 1938 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
| 1939 | sent to the printer. |
---|
| 1940 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
| 1941 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
| 1942 | the printer. |
---|
| 1943 | |
---|
[976] | 1944 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
| 1945 | |
---|
| 1946 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
| 1947 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
| 1948 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
| 1949 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
| 1950 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1951 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
| 1952 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
| 1953 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
[978] | 1954 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
[976] | 1955 | |
---|
[973] | 1956 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
| 1957 | |
---|
| 1958 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
| 1959 | |
---|
[975] | 1960 | - Better error handling. |
---|
| 1961 | |
---|
[962] | 1962 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
| 1963 | |
---|
[969] | 1964 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
| 1965 | |
---|
[962] | 1966 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
| 1967 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
| 1968 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
| 1969 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
| 1970 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
| 1971 | |
---|
[970] | 1972 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
| 1973 | |
---|
[960] | 1974 | - 1.04 : |
---|
[956] | 1975 | |
---|
| 1976 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
| 1977 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
| 1978 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
| 1979 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
| 1980 | |
---|
[954] | 1981 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
| 1982 | |
---|
[953] | 1983 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
| 1984 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
| 1985 | |
---|
[950] | 1986 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
| 1987 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
| 1988 | |
---|
[947] | 1989 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
| 1990 | |
---|
| 1991 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
| 1992 | |
---|
[942] | 1993 | - 1.03 : |
---|
| 1994 | |
---|
| 1995 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
| 1996 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
[965] | 1997 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
[942] | 1998 | |
---|
[932] | 1999 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
[929] | 2000 | |
---|
[932] | 2001 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
| 2002 | subdirectory. |
---|
| 2003 | |
---|
[936] | 2004 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
| 2005 | |
---|
[927] | 2006 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
| 2007 | |
---|
[910] | 2008 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
| 2009 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
| 2010 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
| 2011 | |
---|
[917] | 2012 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
| 2013 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
| 2014 | details. |
---|
| 2015 | |
---|
[885] | 2016 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
| 2017 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
[892] | 2018 | |
---|
| 2019 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
[885] | 2020 | |
---|
[894] | 2021 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
| 2022 | |
---|
[899] | 2023 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
| 2024 | reports in the future. |
---|
[900] | 2025 | |
---|
| 2026 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
| 2027 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
| 2028 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
| 2029 | |
---|
[901] | 2030 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
| 2031 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
| 2032 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
| 2033 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
| 2034 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[909] | 2035 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
| 2036 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
| 2037 | in this case. |
---|
[908] | 2038 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
| 2039 | off. |
---|
[901] | 2040 | |
---|
| 2041 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
| 2042 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
[908] | 2043 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
| 2044 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
[901] | 2045 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[908] | 2046 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
[925] | 2047 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
[901] | 2048 | |
---|
[907] | 2049 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |
---|
| 2050 | had a quota on the specified printer. |
---|
| 2051 | |
---|
[913] | 2052 | - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary |
---|
| 2053 | 1.03 versions, and fixed later on. |
---|

---|
| 2055 | - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed. |
---|
[913] | 2056 | |
---|
[919] | 2057 | - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration |
---|
| 2058 | file for details. |
---|
[925] | 2059 | |
---|
| 2060 | - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by |
---|
| 2061 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
[919] | 2062 | |
---|
[877] | 2063 | - 1.02 : |
---|
[859] | 2064 | |
---|
[871] | 2065 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
| 2066 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
| 2067 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
| 2068 | |
---|
[872] | 2069 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
| 2070 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
| 2071 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
| 2072 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
| 2073 | if needed. |
---|
| 2074 | |
---|
[859] | 2075 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
| 2076 | |
---|
| 2077 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
| 2078 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 2079 | |
---|
[872] | 2080 | - Better general error handling. |
---|
[859] | 2081 | |
---|
[875] | 2082 | - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now |
---|
| 2083 | included as well. |
---|
| 2084 | |
---|
[852] | 2085 | - 1.01 : |
---|
| 2086 | |
---|
| 2087 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
| 2088 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
| 2089 | |
---|
| 2090 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
| 2091 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
| 2092 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
| 2093 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
| 2094 | |
---|
[853] | 2095 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
| 2096 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 2097 | for details. |
---|
| 2098 | |
---|
[852] | 2099 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
| 2100 | add this information to this file. |
---|
| 2101 | |
---|
[855] | 2102 | - Redistribution terms for the official package have |
---|
| 2103 | softened and are now fully GPL compatible : |
---|
| 2104 | unrestricted modification is now allowed even for |
---|
| 2105 | the version number. |
---|
| 2106 | |
---|
[846] | 2107 | - 1.00 : |
---|
| 2108 | |
---|
| 2109 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
| 2110 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
| 2111 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
| 2112 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
| 2113 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
| 2114 | |
---|
| 2115 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
| 2116 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
| 2117 | |
---|
| 2118 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |
---|

---|
| 2121 | |
---|
| 2122 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
---|

| 2125 | |
---|
| 2126 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
[835] | 2127 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
---|
[833] | 2128 | |
---|
[827] | 2129 | - 0.98 : |
---|
| 2130 | |
---|

---|
| 2132 | |
---|
[828] | 2133 | - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. |
---|
| 2134 | |
---|
[819] | 2135 | - 0.97 : |
---|
| 2136 | |
---|
| 2137 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
---|
| 2138 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
| 2139 | |
---|
| 2140 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
| 2141 | |
---|
[821] | 2142 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
[819] | 2143 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
| 2144 | |
---|
| 2145 | - Small bug fixes. |
---|
| 2146 | |
---|
[803] | 2147 | - 0.96 : |
---|
| 2148 | |
---|
[808] | 2149 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
---|
[807] | 2150 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
| 2151 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
[803] | 2152 | |
---|
[807] | 2153 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
| 2154 | |
---|
| 2155 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
| 2156 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
| 2157 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
[803] | 2158 | |
---|
[797] | 2159 | - 0.95 : |
---|

---|
| 2168 | |
---|
| 2169 | - Several bugs fixed. |
---|
| 2170 | |
---|
| 2171 | |
