Revision 2686, 75.3 kB (checked in by jerome, 18 years ago)

Modified pkprinters to improve speed just like I did for pkbcodes earlier.
edpykota had to be modified as well to use the new printer API.
The time spent to modify printers has been almost halved.

22PyKota NEWS :
[2044]23       
[2668]24    - 1.24alpha11 :
25   
[2686]26        - Huge speed improvements when modifying billing codes and
27          printers.
[2677]28       
[2675]29        - Both pkbcodes and pkprinters now display the percent done
30          for all actions.
31         
[2668]32        - The pkinvoice invoice generator command line utility is now
33          included.
34         
[2659]35    - 1.24alpha10 :   
36   
37        - Huge speed improvements when deleting users, printers, and
38          billing codes.
39         
[2641]40    - 1.24alpha9 :
41   
42        - Preliminary support for MySQL, thanks to Matt Hyclak.
43       
[2631]44    - 1.24alpha8 :
45   
[2635]46        - The 'preaccounter' configuration directive was introduced to control
47          which parser to use for precomputation of the job's size. When unset,
48          the internal parser is used just like it was previously. See
49          conf/pykota.conf.sample for more details.
50         
[2631]51        - Now subprocesses launched through the overwrite_jobticket directive
52          can also output 'CANCEL', to represent the user's own choice to
53          cancel the print job.
54         
[2622]55    - 1.24alpha7 :
56     
[2627]57        - pkbanner now handles new print limiting modes correctly.
58       
[2624]59        - The cupspykota backend wrapper now accepts to be interrupted
60          with a kill -INT. This causes an immediate and clean abort
61          of the current print job.
62         
[2623]63        - Matt Hyclak contributed the possibility to store the printing
64          history in a MySQL database. See the contributed/ directory
65          for details.
66         
[2622]67        - Added 2006 to the copyright's years.
68       
[2609]69    - 1.24alpha6 :
70   
[2615]71        - Fixed internal SNMP and PJL handling code for very fast
72          printers : PyKota didn't see them going from 'idle'
73          to 'printing' to 'idle' again.
74         
[2614]75        - Now waitprinter.sh accepts SNMP version number and
76          community name as arguments, thanks to Brandon
77          Holbrook.
78         
[2609]79        - Now command line errors and Ctrl+C repectively cause
80          PyKota commands to exit with status -2 and -3.
81         
[2600]82    - 1.24alpha5 :
83   
[2605]84        - All command line tools now accept -A | --arguments filename.args
85          as a way to bypass the shell's maximal command line size :
86          just put each argument on a line by itself in a file, and
87          pass the file's name as the -A | --arguments command line
88          option's argument. For now this won't be documented in
89          commands' helps.
90         
[2600]91        - dumpykota can now dump the complete database in XML
92          format.
93         
[2593]94    - 1.24alpha4 :
95   
96        - Added support for the SQLite3 backend.
97          See pykota/initscripts/sqlite/README.sqlite
98       
[2588]99    - 1.24alpha3 :
100   
101        - Fix for mailandpopup.sh : smbstatus can't be run setuid,
102          so we regain priviledges before running an external
103          mailto directive.
104       
[2584]105    - 1.24alpha2 :
106   
107        - Introduce the "onbackenderror" directive in pykota.conf, to
108          control if the user must be charged or not whenever a real
109          CUPS backend fails. The default value is 'nocharge'.
110          Set it to 'charge' if you think your users can cause a CUPS
111          backend to fail.
112         
113        - Now mark original backends related problems as such in the
114          printing history. Modified printquota.cgi and pykota.css
115          to make them be more visible.
116         
[2576]117    - 1.24alpha1 :
118   
[2581]119        - Fixed a problem which caused backend errors to be ignored.
120       
[2576]121        - The sample LDIF file now contains the two necessary user
122          entries to have an LDAP PyKota Admin and an LDAP PyKota
123          ReadOnly user. The sample configuration files were updated
124          to contain the default passwords used in the LDIF file.
125         
126        - dumpykota is now more strict when checking arguments.   
127       
[2562]128    - 1.23 :
129   
130        - Many minor bug fixes and code cleaning.
131       
132        - Improved documentation.
133       
134        - Added Polish translation.
135       
136        - Improved French and Swedish translations.
137       
[2474]138    - 1.23beta :
139   
140        - Now the mailto directive is honored in all cases where the job is
141          denied or a warning has to be issued, and the correct reason
142          can be sent back to the user.
143         
144        - The PYKOTAREASON environment variable, if defined, contains the 
145          textual reason why the job was denied or a warning has to be
146          issued.
147       
[2465]148    - 1.23alpha31 :
149   
150        - Added support for --maxjobsize, --passthrough and --nopassthrough
151          in pkprinters. These modes are now also honored when printing.
152         
[2466]153        - Allows the admin to restrict the number of print queues which will
154          be treated by pkturnkey by passing queues' names as additionnal
155          arguments on pkturnkey's command line.
156         
[2467]157        - pkturnkey now supersedes pkhint with the help of the -c | --doconf
158          command line option.   
159         
[2452]160    - 1.23alpha30 :
161   
162        - Database changes : you MUST use upgrade-to-1.23.sql again if you
163          use PostgreSQL, or copy the new schema and restart your LDAP
164          server if you use LDAP.
165         
166        - The -C | --comment command line switch was added to edpykota to 
167          attach textual information to modifications done to a user's
168          account balance.
169         
170        - The -l | --limitby command line switch to edpykota was modified 
171          to allow 'noquota', 'nochange', and 'noprint'. See the edpykota
172          command's help or manual page for details.
173         
174        - The -i | --ingroups command line switch to repykota allows 
175          PyKota Administrators to only lists members of the specified
176          group or groups (separated with commas).
177         
[2454]178        - The -I | --increase command line switch to edpykota allows
179          to increase or decrease page limits.
180         
[2455]181        - Added the precomputed job's size and price to the history
182          for controlling purpose.
183       
[2447]184    - 1.23alpha29 :
185   
[2449]186        - Fixed a small problem with billing codes.
187       
[2448]188        - Exports some environment variables earlier, to render the script
189          launched by the overwrite_jobticket directive more powerful.
190         
[2447]191        - Now autopykota also creates print quota entries for the user on the
192          printers groups the current printer is a member of.
193         
[2435]194    - 1.23alpha28 :
195   
[2436]196        - Added users groups management to pkturnkey.
[2435]197       
198        - Fixed umask in setup script.
199       
[2432]200    - 1.23alpha27 :
201   
202        - Replaced the --dryrun command line option by the --force
203          command line option in pkturnkey, with exactly the opposite
204          effect (for security reasons).
205         
[2425]206    - 1.23alpha26 :
207   
208        - Allows parametrized pjl and snmp hardware accounting methods,
209          to be able to respectively set the TCP port and the SNMP
210          community.
211         
[2420]212    - 1.23alpha25 :

219       
[2418]220    - 1.23alpha24 :
221   
222        - Allows different databases to be used depending on the
223          user's rights. This allows PyKota admins to directly
224          use a master LDAP server for read+write, while letting
225          normal users using the replicas for readonly access.
226          NB : using different storage backends is also possible,
227          but you're on your own there.
228         
[2413]229    - 1.23alpha23 :
230   
[2414]231        - Fixed a problem with banner accounting.
232   
[2413]233        - Introduction of the new 'pkturnkey' command line tool.
234       
[2409]235    - 1.23alpha22 :
236   
237        - The cupspykota backend was almost entirely rewritten from scratch.
238          It's now much more readable, maintainable, etc...
239         
240        - LPRng support is OFFICIALLY dropped for now. LPRng users are 
241          advised to download earlier releases or purchase the
242          PyKota v1.22HotFix1 Official release. LPRng support
243          MIGHT be re-added later.
244       
[2399]245    - 1.23alpha21 :
246     
247        - Fix for IPP requests which contain more than a single
248          job-originating-host-name attribute.
249

251   
252        - Added the overwrite_jobticket directive. See pykota.conf.sample
253          for how to use it.
254         
[2389]255    - 1.23alpha19 :
256   
[2390]257        - Fixed an LDAP filtering problem when managing billing codes.
[2389]258       
259        - Added the unknown_billingcode directive. See pykota.conf.sample
260          for how to use it.
261       
[2365]262    - 1.23alpha18 :
263     
[2383]264        - Added the dump_bfd.php contribution.
265       
266        - Several fixes in the internal PJL accounter.
267       
[2366]268        - Now autopykota doesn't create unneeded print quota entries anymore.
269       
[2365]270        - Increased the timeout in the PJL hardware accounting code to
271          accomodate some printers (HP5000 at least).
272         
[2345]273    - 1.23alpha17 :
274   
275        - pkpgcounter is now distributed separately only. This
276          means that people must now download and install pkpgcounter
277          v1.56 or higher prior to being able to run PyKota.
278         
279        - Removed all the autoconf/automake stuff which was outdated 
280          and confusing.
281         
[2344]282    - 1.23alpha16 :
283     
284        - Extracted the GPL blurb from all commands' help, and use
285          a static version only once. This saves space big time, and
286          eases future translations.
287         
[2342]288    - 1.23alpha15 :
289   
290        - pkbcodes now works with the PostgreSQL backend.
291          NB : PLEASE RUN upgrade-to-1.23.sql AGAIN !!!
292       
[2323]293    - 1.23alpha14 :
294   
295        - Logs a warning when the user/group doesn't exist when running
296          edpykota.
297         
[2320]298    - 1.23alpha13 :
299   
300        - Minor fix for user groups because of latest database changes.
301       
[2317]302    - 1.23alpha12 :
303   
304        - Big database changes, use the migration scripts !
305       
[2316]306    - 1.23alpha11 :
307   
308        - Small fix to the PCL3/4/5 parser for some drivers.

311   
312        - Fixed a bad exception name in cupspykota when parsing IPP messages.
313       
314        - Improved the IPP messages module : it can now generate IPP messages
315          in addition to parsing them.
316       
[2305]317    - 1.23alpha9 :   
318   
[2308]319        - The denyduplicates directive now accepts a command line as an
320          argument beside yes/no. The command is launched and must
321          print either ALLOW or DENY to its standard output. Then the
322          job gets allowed or denied by PyKota.
323          This will allow user interaction in the near future.
324         
[2307]325        - Introduced the new 'striptitle' directive to remove ugly prefixes
326          from print job's titles whenever a new print job is submitted.
327         
[2305]328        - Fixed internal SNMP accounter for printers which only have a life time
329          page counter, and not a volatile page counter.
330         
[2295]331    - 1.23alpha8 :
332   
333        - The data dumper can now summarize payments and history with the
334          help of the --sum command line option (or checkbox in the CGI).
335         
336        - The message used when the job's filename, title and options are
337          hidden because of the privacy directive is now translated at
338          retrieval time, instead of at saving time.
339         
340        - Minor fix in the LDAP backend code. 
341         
[2277]342    - 1.23alpha7 :
343   
344        - Improvements to the internal PJL and SNMP accounter : now should
345          support more printers and waste less time.
346         
[2276]347    - 1.23alpha6 :
348   
349        - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now
350          accept a positive or negative offset to be added to the special
351          keywords 'yesterday', 'today', 'now', 'tomorrow'.
352          e.g. : dumpykota --data history start=yesterday-5 end=today
353         
[2268]354    - 1.23alpha5 :
355   
356        - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now accept
357          the special keywords 'yesterday', 'today', 'now' and 'tomorrow'.
358         
[2266]359    - 1.23alpha4 :
360   
361        - The data dumper now accept start= and end= to specify the starting
362          and ending dates to dump the history.
363         
[2262]364    - 1.23alpha3 :
365   
[2265]366        - The destination link for the logo used in CGI scripts is
367          configurable.
368         
[2264]369        - Data dumper improved : it's faster and now datas are correctly
370          escaped.
371       
[2262]372        - The URL to the logo displayed in the CGI scripts is configurable.
373

380       
[2239]381    - 1.23alpha1 :   
382   
[2241]383        - Sets current username to the user CUPS runs as instead of "root"
384          when printing test pages from CUPS' web interface (because
385          the username is empty in this case).
386         
[2239]387        - Fix for strange values in job-originating-hostname
388       
[2237]389    - 1.22 :

[2179]454        - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota
455          from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed.
456         
[2167]457    - 1.22alpha2 :
458   
[2173]459        - Introduction of the web enabled print quote generator.
460       
[2167]461        - Fixed a potential race condition when several backend
462          wrappers were present in CUPS' backend directory.
463         
464        - Fixed dumpykota's output in CUPS' page_log format to better
465          match CUPS format.
466         
[2133]467    - 1.22alpha1 :
468   
469        - Import into Subversion.
470       
[2127]471    - 1.21 :

493   
[2074]494        - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting
495          directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not
496          parsed again : the precomputed size is used directly in this
497          case.
498         
[2073]499        - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts
500          limited by balance.
501

511   
512        - The job's size is now always precomputed, even when
513          'enforcement' is not set to 'strict'.
514         
515        - Introduction of the new 'trustjobsize' configuration directive
516          to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample
517          configuration file for details.
518         
[2054]519    - 1.21alpha24 :
520   
521        - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script
522          is now included for PostgreSQL. LDAP users may just
523          want to copy the new schema in place.
524         
525        - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line
526          option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor
527          on each print job's cost for a particular user.
528         
529        - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to 
530          80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse
531          repykota's output in their own tools are strongly advised
532          to parse dumpykota's output instead.
533         
534        - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive
535          to allow up to N (the directive's value) deny banners to be
536          printed even if the print account is forbidden to print.
537         
538        - Better detection of the number of copies in the PostScript parser.

543   
544        - Several fixes and performance improvements with the LDAP backend.
545       
[2036]546    - 1.21alpha22 :
547   
548        - edpykota's --delete command line option doesn't consider
549          '*' to be the default argument anymore :-)
550         
[2032]551    - 1.21alpha21 :
[2030]552   
[2032]553        - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to
554          a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is
555          necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER
556          environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see
557          the file cgi-bin/README for details.
558          The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota
559          administrator.
[2030]560         
[2032]561        - Fix exception's name error due to a change in recent versions

566        - Big bug fix wrt the datelimit field which was never reset.
567         
[2020]568    - 1.21alpha19 :
569   
570        - Introduction of the new dumpykota.cgi CGI script, which
571          allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be
572          interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you
573          may have to change your web server's configuration,
574          please see pykota/cgi-bin/README
575         
[2013]576    - 1.21alpha18 :
577   
[2014]578        - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log
[2013]579          format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows
580          people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer
581          (two completely different beasts) with PyKota.
582         
[2002]583    - 1.21alpha17 :
584

600          in dumpykota's output.
601         
[1993]602        - dumpykota filtering capabilities are now supported within
603          the LDAP backend too.
604         
[1991]605    - 1.21alpha14 :
606   
607        - dumpykota now supports extended filtering possibilities
608          with the PostgreSQL backend (LDAP support will come soon).
609         
[1980]610    - 1.21alpha13 :
611   
612        - Added a --debug command line option to pkpgcounter, so
613          that people may see what really happens, and what will

624   
[1969]625        - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly
626          below the user or group with the LDAP backend, using them
627          as branches. Thanks to Stefan Wold for the patch.
628          See the sample configuration file for details.
629         
[1968]630        - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan
631          Wold for the patch.

644   
[1962]645        - Now searches the configuration files in 'pykota' system user's

648          sufficient permissions to PyKota's configuration files.
649         
[1956]650    - 1.21alpha8 :

686         
[1905]687    - 1.21alpha2 :
688   
[1913]689        - Installation script is now non interactive again, as it should

[1742]821    - 1.20alpha15 :
822   
823        - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created
824          attached to the pykotaUser objects. This is now

844          for this to work (tested with v3.4.2)
845

913          The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy
914          of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore :
915          this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but
916          now the maximum value seen is used.
917         
[1681]918        - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange
919          printer drivers.
920         
[1680]921        - Now hardware accounting method works like software
922          accounting method wrt the subprocess' output.
923         
[1681]924        - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue 
925          when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will
926          be configurable in the near future.
927         
[1676]928    - 1.20alpha2 :
929   
[1678]930        - Now software accounting method reads accounter's
931          answer until a line with a single integer is
932          obtained or until all of its output has been read.
933          This should fix the problem some people have
934          when strange locale related messages are sent
935          when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?).
936         
[1676]937        - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work
938          ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid'
939          and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more
940          work to correctly analyze other devices.
941       
[1665]942    - 1.20alpha1 :
943   
[1675]944        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCLXL parser.
945       
[1674]946        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser,
947          when number of copies was set outside of and before first
948          page.
949       
[1673]950        - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in
951          PostScript code.
952         
[1671]953        - Added german translation.
954       
[1665]955        - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when
956          "enforcement: strict" is used.
957       
958        - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation.
959       
[1664]960    - 1.19 :
961   
962        - Updated existing translations.   
963       
964        - Added final Thai and Greek translations.
965       
966        - Minor last minute bug fixes.
967       
[1629]968    - 1.19beta :
969   
970        - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems
971          to be OK.
972         
973        - Translation files fixed because of fuzzy matching problem. 
974       
[1639]975        - Fixed path to Swedish translation: 'sv' instead of 'se'.
[1633]976       
[1639]977        - Added first draft of Thai translation.
978       
979        - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker.
980       
[1622]981    - 1.19alpha35 :
982   
983        - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents
984          in addition to DSC compliant ones.
985       
[1611]986    - 1.19alpha34 :
987   
988        - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine,
989          but hardware accounting doesn't work yet.
990   
[1605]991    - 1.19alpha33 :
992   
993        - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy !
994          NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8
995          or higher if you don't use the default C locale.
996         
[1600]997    - 1.19alpha32 :
998   
[1604]999        - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite.
[1600]1000       
[1604]1001        - Saner default configuration file.
1002       
[1599]1003    - 1.19alpha31 :
1004   
1005        - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions,
1006          which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with
1007          this older version of Python.
1008         
[1592]1009    - 1.19alpha30 :
1010   
[1595]1011        - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command
1012       
[1593]1013        - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain
1014          ANY character, expected '/' and '@'.
1015       
[1592]1016        - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio
1017          Gonz�z Gonz�z
1018         
[1584]1019    - 1.19alpha29 :
1020   
[1591]1021        - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of
1022          copies set for each page.
1023         
[1588]1024        - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer.
1025       
1026        - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser.
1027       
[1584]1028        - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the
1029          situation : tools which can be run interactively will
1030          ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for
1031          their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:"
1032          directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored.
1033          Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS
1034          honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf
1035         
[1575]1036    - 1.19alpha28 :
1037   
[1582]1038        - The description field for printers can now be set,
1039          and is displayed in reports.
1040         
1041        - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code.
1042         
[1578]1043        - Improved pkhint
1044       
[1575]1045        - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser !
1046          Doesn't handle copies yet.
1047       
[1570]1048    - 1.19alpha27 :
1049   
[1573]1050        - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript
1051          generated files (untested yet with other PCL files).
1052         
[1572]1053        - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups
1054          PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times.
1055          This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase
1056          in performance for PCL5 parsing !
1057         
[1570]1058        - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available
1059          in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by
[1572]1060          almost three times automagically.
[1570]1061         
[1564]1062    - 1.19alpha26 :
1063   
1064        - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp.
1065       
[1566]1066        - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number
1067          of copies could vary from page to page.
[1568]1068         
1069        - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. 
[1566]1070       
[1556]1071    - 1.19alpha25 :
1072   
[1558]1073        - Added new "description" field to printers in both
[1556]1074          PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet.
1075         
[1558]1076        - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : 
[1557]1077          no paper or tray open would have caused people to
1078          be undercharged.
1079         
[1558]1080        - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script.
1081         
[1552]1082    - 1.19alpha24 :
1083   
1084        - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with
1085          Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before.
1086          GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS,
1087          because PDF is parsed directly.
1088         
[1545]1089    - 1.19alpha23 :
1090   
[1549]1091        - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some
1092          printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez.
1093       
[1550]1094        - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two
1095          PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which
1096          is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and
1097          a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects
1098          automatically which method to use depending on your
1099          version of Python.
[1547]1100       
[1546]1101        - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number.
[1545]1102         
[1542]1103    - 1.19alpha22 :
1104   
[1544]1105        - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is
1106          reset to the start of the job's datas after the
1107          job's size pre-computation phase.
1108         
[1543]1109        - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers
1110          which don't correctly switch languages between PJL
1111          and PS.
1112       
[1542]1113        - Even better debugging code.
1114       
[1541]1115    - 1.19alpha21 :
1116   
[1542]1117        - Additionnal check.
[1541]1118       
[1536]1119    - 1.19alpha20 :
1120   
1121        - More complete logging messages wrt accounters.
1122       
[1539]1123        - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration
1124          files are parsed.
1125       
[1526]1126    - 1.19alpha19 :
1127   
1128        - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help
1129          or version.
[1527]1130         
1131        - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts 
[1532]1132       
1133        - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history.
1134       
1135        - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to
1136          cause problems.
[1500]1137
[1522]1138    - 1.19alpha18 :
1139   
1140        - History of payments is now stored in the database, and
1141          updated each time an user's balance is modified with
1142          edpykota --balance. This history represents each time
1143          the user was given some positive or negative credit,
1144          but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear
1145          in the jobs history instead.
1146         
[1524]1147        - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in
1148          bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report
1149          more easily readable.
1150         
[1517]1151    - 1.19alpha17 :
1152   
1153        - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving
1154          any log message) which occured once in a while when
1155          cancelling jobs should be fixed now.
1156         
1157        - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by 
1158          default. See sample configuration file to see how
1159          to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it.
1160         
1161        - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, 
[1519]1162          which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs
[1521]1163          are now denied. This value is now stored in the job
1164          history (but not yet displayed from the web interface)
[1517]1165         
[1521]1166        - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL 
1167          and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written
1168          yet to support this functionnality.
1169         
[1502]1170    - 1.19alpha16 :
1171   
[1510]1172        - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept
1173          a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry
1174          is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used,
1175          then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn"
1176          is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged.
1177         
[1502]1178        - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database,
1179          and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment.
1180       
[1500]1181    - 1.19alpha15 :
1182   
1183        - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that
1184          currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but
1185          LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future.
1186         
[1495]1187    - 1.19alpha14 :
1188   
[1499]1189        - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE
1190          are now exported as environment variables.
1191         
[1498]1192        - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by
1193          introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do.
1194         
[1497]1195        - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only
1196          done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves
1197          CPU for people who don't want to use this new
1198          feature.
1199         
[1495]1200        - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either
1201          STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file
1202          for details.
1203         
[1494]1204    - 1.19alpha13 :
1205   
1206        - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which
1207          worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized
1208          as time permits.
1209         
[1492]1210    - 1.19alpha12 :
1211   
1212        - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using
1213          the generic PDL analyzer.
1214          NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the
1215          job.
1216       
[1490]1217    - 1.19alpha11 :
1218   
1219        - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and
1220          can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download
1221          an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use
1222          cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come
1223          in the near future.
1224         
[1483]1225    - 1.19alpha10 :
1226   
[1488]1227        - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead
1228          of spawning a new process.
1229         
[1487]1230        - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer.
1231       
[1485]1232        - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version
1233          will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven
1234          parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then,
1235          the original algorithm is still used for now.
1236          Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the
1237          expense of severe memory consumption.
1238       
[1483]1239        - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's
1240          'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester"
1241          directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not
1242          supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details.
1243       
[1478]1244    - 1.19alpha9 :
1245       
[1482]1246        - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class
1247       
[1480]1248        - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters
1249          too.
1250         
[1478]1251        - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite
1252       
[1475]1253    - 1.19alpha8 :
1254   
1255        - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware'
1256       
1257        - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software'
1258       
1259        - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore
1260       
1261        - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore
1262       
1263        - code simplifications in external requester
1264       
[1473]1265    - 1.19alpha7 :
1266     
1267        - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to
1268          allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute.
1269          An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet
1270          capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support
1271          for this functionnality will be added in the future.
1272         
[1463]1273    - 1.19alpha6 :
1274   
[1471]1275        - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched.
1276       
[1463]1277        - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the
1278          job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6)
1279          support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to
1280          PostScript.
1281         
[1464]1282        - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. 
1283          It is currently disabled until it's finished.
1284         
[1451]1285    - 1.19alpha5 :
1286   
[1458]1287        - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least)
1288       
[1459]1289        - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing
1290          problems under heavy load.
1291         
[1456]1292        - pkpgcounter enhancements.
1293       
[1453]1294        - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not
1295          modify existing printers when --add is used.
1296          pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is
1297          used and a printer already exists.
[1451]1298         
[1455]1299        - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName
1300          and pykotaTitle attributes.
1301       
[1447]1302    - 1.19alpha4 :
1303   
1304        - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this
1305          is now fixed.
1306         
[1451]1307        - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of
1308          HP PCL/PJL Reference Set
1309          PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide
[1449]1310       
1311        - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration
[1450]1312          is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for
1313          testing.
[1448]1314         
[1437]1315    - 1.19alpha3 :
1316   
1317        - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument
1318          to list informations about printers.
1319         
[1430]1320    - 1.19alpha2 :
1321   
1322        - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external
1323          accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL.
1324         
[1417]1325    - 1.19alpha1 :
1326   
[1421]1327        - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too.
1328       
[1417]1329        - Inclusion of Michele Baldessari's work on autotools.
1330       
[1415]1331    - 1.18 :
1332   
1333        - Improved documentation
1334       
[1411]1335    - 1.18beta2 :
1336     
1337        - Fix for raw jobs with cupspykota
1338       
[1404]1339    - 1.18beta :
1340   
[1405]1341        - Small fix for new waitprinter.sh script
1342

1347        - Improved documentation
1348       
[1396]1349    - 1.18alpha15 :
[1398]1350
1351        - waitprinter.sh replaced by a new and possibly faster
[1404]1352          and more powerful one.
[1396]1353   
1354        - Names can now begin with a digit.

1367        - Pre and Post hooks are now available in the pykota
1368          filter as well.
1369         
1370        - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota
[1377]1371          anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used :
1372          this will be done anyway the next time the last
1373          user will print again. This saves some database
1374          queries which are unneeded.
[1376]1375       
[1372]1376    - 1.18alpha12 :
1377   
[1376]1378        - Pre and Post hooks to external commands with many
[1372]1379          many environment variables available are useable
1380          from the cupspykota backend.

1423         
1424        - Preliminary work on future low-level LDAP caching to speed
1425          up modifications (at least).
1426         
[1338]1427    - 1.18alpha4 :
1428   
[1345]1429        - Applied some of the modifications suggested by
1430          Peter Hawkins, for better Debian integration.

1432          scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota
1433          instead of into /usr/bin
1434          BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link
1435          to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf
1436          file use correct path for the shell scripts like
1437          waitprinter.sh and al.
1438         
[1338]1439        - pkhint command added, to help in configuring correct
1440          accounting method for PyKota.

1499       
[1285]1500    - 1.16alpha26 :
1501   
1502        - Job price is now computed like this :
1503       
1504          SUM((NbPages * PricePerPage) + PricePerJob)
1505         
1506          For current printer and all the printers groups it is
[1286]1507          a member of, if any.
[1285]1508         
1509          This may be difficult to grasp, but offers unprecedented
1510          flexibility.
1511         
[1284]1512    - 1.16alpha25 :
1513   
1514        - Email address can be set at user creation time,

1563          + some particular settings.
1564         
1565        - mailandpopup.sh shell script added. See sample configuration file
1566          for details.
1567       
1568        - Several environment variables are now exported when executing
1569          external commands (accounters, requesters, mailers) :
1570           
1571            PYKOTAUSERNAME => user who is printing
1572            PYKOTAPRINTERNAME => printer on which the job is being sent
1573            PYKOTATITLE => Job's title
1574            PYKOTAFILENAME => Job's filename
1575            PYKOTACOPIES => number of copies asked
1576            PYKOTAOPTIONS => print command options (-o with CUPS)
1577

1590          to lowercase during printing.
1591         
[1226]1592    - 1.15alpha15 :
1593   
1594        - Now includes the papwaitprinter.sh shell script to wait for
1595          AppleTalk enabled printers.
1596         
[1221]1597    - 1.16alpha14 :
1598   
1599        - Now printing on a printer not defined in the Quota Storage,
1600          results in the job being cancelled or stopped, depending
1601          on the printing system.
1602         
[1212]1603    - 1.16alpha13 :
1604   
1605        - Small bugfix wrt Python v2.1

[1220]1608       
1609        - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend,
1610          you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to
1611          be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions,
1612          this is not the case anymore.
[1212]1613         
[1203]1614    - 1.16alpha12 :
1615   
1616        - Job price added to job history, to keep accounting correct
1617          if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the
1618          history is not reset : the history would have given a false
1619          amount of money charged before the printer's prices were
1620          modified, this addition solves the problem.
1621         
[1200]1622    - 1.16alpha11 :
1623   
1624        - Some preliminary modifications to the database structure for
1625          PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP. A script to upgrade a PostgreSQL
1626          database is now provided. LDAP attributes now support
1627          eq, pres and sub indexes.
1628         
1629        - Job history now contains additional informations : 
1630          number of copies, filename, title and print options.
1631         
[1194]1632    - 1.16alpha10 :
[1196]1633       
1634        - Some modifications done to external policy handling.
1635          See sample configuration file for details.
[1194]1636   
1637        - Spanish translation added.

[1192]1639    - 1.16alpha9 :
1640   
1641        - mailto can be set to external(...) to warn users above
1642          quota with any command of your choice (e.g. linpopup).
1643          Several parameters are available, see sample configuration
1644          file for details.
1645         
[1189]1646    - 1.16alpha8 :
1647   
[1191]1648        - Now cupspykota transmits SIGTERMS to the original 
1649          backend when the user deletes a job being processed.
1650         
[1189]1651        - The documentation is now licensed under the terms of the
1652          GNU GPL too.
1653         
[1185]1654    - 1.16alpha7 :
1655   
1656        - The CUPS backend is now fully functionnal (it seems).
1657       
1658        - From now on, the use of the pykota filter with CUPS
1659          is deprecated. The pykota filter still has to be
1660          used with LPRng though.
1661       
[1179]1662    - 1.16alpha6 :
1663   
1664        - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer
1665          with no user or group name, a bad user/group name "*" was
1666          added to the database.
1667         
[1178]1668    - 1.16alpha5 :
1669   
1670        - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration !
1671          This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to
1672          be done. All can now be done from CUPS web interface.
1673       
[1177]1674    - 1.16alpha4 :
1675   
1676        - New CUPS backend added.
1677       
[1175]1678    - 1.16alpha3 :
1679       
1680        - Minimal FAQ document added.
1681

1689       
1690        - More complete error messages in case of LDAP operation failure.
1691       
[1168]1692    - 1.15 :
1693     
1694        - Documentation improved.
1695       
[1156]1696    - 1.15beta :

[1152]1701    - 1.15alpha9 :
1702   
1703        - External policy can be used to auto-add unknown users
1704          and any other interesting things you may want to do.
1705          WARNING : You can't auto-add printers for now.
1706          They have to be created manually before.
1707          Look at sample configuration file for examples.
1708         
[1149]1709    - 1.15alpha8 :
1710   
1711        - Job history can be disabled if needed.
1712          This feature may be useful for people who use the LDAP
1713          backend and don't want their LDAP tree to grow out of
1714          control.
1715       
[1138]1716    - 1.15alpha7 :
1717   
1718        - More work done on caching wrt groups.
1719       
[1135]1720    - 1.15alpha6 :
1721   
1722        - Performance bottleneck with LDAP solved.
1723

1730        - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive
1731          modification.
1732         
[1121]1733    - 1.15alpha3 :
1734   
1735        - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the
1736          REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows
1737          people to protect its use with .htaccess files.
1738          When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then
1739          unrestricted access is granted.
[1122]1740          NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server
1741          (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed.
[1121]1742         
[1116]1743    - 1.15alpha2 :
1744   
1745        - Better detection of LPRng.

1747        - Outputs a warning if printing system is unknown.
1748       
[1115]1749    - 1.15alpha1 :
1750   
1751        - Bug fix in SQL code.
1752       
[1113]1753    - 1.14 :
1754   
1755        - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before
1756          exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer
1757          from the problem anyway, AFAICT.
1758       
[1111]1759    - 1.14beta2 :
1760   
1761        - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail.
1762          Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email
1763          address for the user. See sample configuration file for
1764          details.
1765       
[1105]1766    - 1.14beta :
1767   
1768        - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced,
1769          newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add
1770          quota information to existing entries or elsewhere.
1771          See sample configuration file for details.
1772         
[1099]1773    - 1.14alpha9 :
1774   
1775        - Documentation improved.
1776       
1777        - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value
1778          if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his
1779          limiting factor is "balance".
1780         
[1095]1781    - 1.14alpha8 :
1782   
1783        - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for
1784          SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before
1785          asking for their internal page counter.
1786          See sample configuration file for details.
1787         
[1089]1788    - 1.14alpha7 :
1789   
1790        - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above
1791          quota. The check is only done at print time. This
1792          prevents the sending of email messages when creating
1793          user quotas if quota is already reached at creation
1794          time.
1795         
[1087]1796    - 1.14alpha6 :
1797   
1798        - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf
1799          and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to
1800          have Read/Write access to the Quota Database.

1834          a warning message.
1835         
1836        - All warning messages to users are now configurable. 
1837          NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not.
1838

[1072]1841        - Some small fixes wrt group handling.
1842       
[1068]1843        - The whole module code was passed through PyChecker and
1844          several small code inconsistencies were fixed,
1845          as well as a bug in the groups code.
1846         
[1067]1847    - 1.13alpha1 :
1848

1853        - More complete test added in edpykota.
1854       
[1062]1855    - 1.12alpha2 :

1897          users or groups names on the command line. Users
1898          and groups names may contain wildcards.
1899         
1900        - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the
1901          current user when launched by non-root users.
1902         
1903        - Minor bug fixes. 
1904   
[1029]1905    - 1.09alpha1 :
1906   
1907        - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options
1908          were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some
1909          hints to the LDAP storage backend.
[1044]1910         
1911        - Severe database access optimizations were done by
1912          rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers.
[1029]1913     
[1027]1914    - 1.08 :
1915

1926          field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are
1927          not used anymore.
[1029]1928         
[1022]1929        - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration 
1930          file for details.
1931          WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in
1932          debug mode, for now.
[1021]1933       
[1019]1934    - 1.08alpha7 :
1935   
1936        - Very latest LDAP schema.
[1029]1937       
[1019]1938        - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes
1939          and object classes into an existing LDAP directory.
1940       
[1017]1941    - 1.08alpha6 :
1942   
1943        - Minor bug corrections
[1029]1944       
[1017]1945        - More work on LDAP : new schema
1946       
[1016]1947    - 1.08alpha5 :
1948   
[1017]1949        - More good work on LDAP storage.
1950          repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory.
[1016]1951       
[1014]1952    - 1.08alpha4 :
1953   
1954        - LDAP schema included.
1955          THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS.
1956          LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA
1957          MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US
1958          WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE
1959          MAILING LIST.
1960         
[1000]1961    - 1.08alpha3 :
1962   
1963        - External accounting methods were partly rewritten :
1964         
1965          - No more "broken pipe" should happen.
1966         
1967          - They now take care of the number of copies
1968            This may be unneeded though, if the postscript
1969            file already does this, because this would
1970            overcharge users (number of copies counted
1971            two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING.
1972           
1973          - The sample configuration file now contains 
1974            an external accounting method example which should
1975            work with all DSC compliant Postscript files.
1976           
1977        - Some small bugs were fixed.   
1978       
[998]1979    - 1.08alpha2 :
1980   
1981        - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above.
1982          It already worked, but the sample configuration
[1000]1983          file didn't contain appropriate values...
[998]1984       
[991]1985    - 1.07 : Release of the Shame !
1986   
1987        - The external accounting methods driver was left out of
1988          the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included !
1989         
[989]1990    - 1.06 :
1991   
1992        - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in
1993          power saving state which couldn't answer immediately,
1994          a bug was triggered.
1995          It was caused by a bad copy/paste which
1996          forgot to import a Python module at run time.
1997         
[980]1998    - 1.05 :
1999   
2000        - External accounters are finally available !
2001          This means that you can plug any page accounting
2002          method you like by setting the appropriate
2003          'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf
2004          See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to
2005          learn how to do.
2006         
2007          NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods
2008               account a job size just before *this* job is
2009               sent to the printer.
2010               The original 'querying' method accounts a job
2011               size just before *the next* job is sent to
2012               the printer.
2013       
[976]2014    - 1.05alpha3 :
2015   
2016        - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was
2017          implemented to serve as an example on how to
2018          do this sort of things. This method only counts
2019          the 'showpage' statements in the input data.
2020          See sample configuration file for details.
2021          Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise
2022          you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.
2023          It is not reliable enough to be used.
[978]2024          Use the 'querying' accounting method instead.
[976]2025         
[973]2026    - 1.05alpha2 :
2027   
2028        - Pluggable accounting methods.
2029       
[975]2030        - Better error handling.
2031       
[962]2032    - 1.05alpha1 :
2033   
[969]2034        - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security.
2035       
[962]2036        - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now
2037          tried several times, waiting several seconds between
2038          two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers
2039          which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple
2040          LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too)
2041         
[970]2042        - Small display bug fixed in repykota
2043         
[960]2044    - 1.04 :
[956]2045   
2046        - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from
2047          the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW,
2048          since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results
2049          (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons)
2050         
[954]2051        - LPRng support works !
2052       
[953]2053        - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default
2054          policy for unknown users. It is now corrected.
2055       
[950]2056        - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each
2057          printer, if they are defined.
2058         
[947]2059        - Minor display bug fixed in repykota.
2060       
2061        - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed.
2062       
[942]2063    - 1.03 :
2064   
2065        - Upgrade script included for earlier versions.
2066          Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory.
[965]2067          THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE.
[942]2068         
[932]2069        - repykota now reports account balances too.
[929]2070       
[932]2071        - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos
2072          subdirectory.
2073       
[936]2074        - Manual pages were finally updated.
2075       
[927]2076        - Group quotas seem to work now !
2077       
[910]2078        - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all
2079          jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job,
2080          and track users' account balance.
2081         
[917]2082        - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to 
2083          use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for
2084          details.
2085         
[885]2086        - The installation script now allows to install the sample
2087          configuration file during first installation.
[892]2088         
2089        - More group quota code works, but still not finished. 
[885]2090       
[894]2091        - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website.
2092       
[899]2093        - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period
2094          reports in the future.
[900]2095         
2096        - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota,
2097          a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about
2098          a quota which is too low to print.
2099         
[901]2100        - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal
2101          page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so
2102          if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter
2103          may be lower than the real number of pages printed.
2104          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
[909]2105          We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to
2106          abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2))
2107          in this case.
[908]2108          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
2109          off.
[901]2110         
2111        - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile 
2112          page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on)
[908]2113          This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet
2114          4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing.
[901]2115          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
[908]2116          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
[925]2117          off. This is untested, please report any problem.
[901]2118         
[907]2119        - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already
2120          had a quota on the specified printer.
2121         
[913]2122        - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary
2123          1.03 versions, and fixed later on.
[915]2124         
2125        - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed.
[913]2126       
[919]2127        - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration
2128          file for details.
[925]2129         
2130        - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by 
2131          print quota or by account balance.
[919]2132       
[877]2133    - 1.02 :
[859]2134   
[871]2135        - The installation script now checks for software availability
2136          and in case a software is missing asks the user if he
2137          wants to continue with the installation or abort it.
2138         
[872]2139        - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be
2140          found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups
2141          The installation script prompts the user to see if he
2142          wants to move an old configuration file to the new location
2143          if needed.
2144         
[859]2145        - Improved documentation.
2146       
2147        - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage
2148          Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details.
2149       
[872]2150        - Better general error handling.
[859]2151       
[875]2152        - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now
2153          included as well.
2154       
[852]2155    - 1.01 :
2156   
2157        - The configuration file now accepts an option   
2158          to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages :
2159         
2160            - DevNull means no one will receive them.
2161            - User means only the user will receive them.
2162            - Admin means only the admin will receive them.
2163            - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them.
2164           
[853]2165        - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values
2166          when an option is not set. See sample configuration file
2167          for details.
2168         
[852]2169        - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to   
2170          add this information to this file.
2171         
[855]2172        - Redistribution terms for the official package have 
2173          softened and are now fully GPL compatible :
2174          unrestricted modification is now allowed even for
2175          the version number.
2176         
[846]2177    - 1.00 :
2178   
2179        - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This
2180          disable quota checking while still doing page
2181          accounting. This is really useful for people
2182          who don't want to limit their users but want
2183          to know how much pages they print.
2184         
2185        - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve
2186          the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers.
2187         
2188        - Every directory now has a specific README file. 
2189       
[833]2190    - 0.99 :
2191   
2192        - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed
2193          to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is
2194          now fixed.
2195         
2196        - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for
[835]2197          the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed.
[833]2198         
[827]2199    - 0.98 :
2200   
2201        - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off.
2202       
[828]2203        - Small bug wrt syslog fixed.
2204       
[819]2205    - 0.97 :
2206   
2207        - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too
2208          if the --add option is not set, e.g. :
2209         
2210              $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*"
2211             
[821]2212        - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*"
[819]2213          which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used.
2214         
2215        - Small bug fixes.
2216       
[803]2217    - 0.96 :
2218
[808]2219        - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now
[807]2220          be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has
2221          priority if both are defined.
[803]2222
[807]2223        - More powerful configuration parser.
2224       
2225        - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to
2226          define a section for each printer in the configuration
2227          file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok.
[803]2228
[797]2229    - 0.95 :
2230
[798]2231        - External requesters for printers finally added.
[797]2232
2233        - Full internationalization (english and french are supported)
2234
