---|
[2937] | 78 | - 1.25alpha6 (2006-06-13) : |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | - pkusers now supports the --email command line switch. |

---|
| 138 | |
---|
[2795] | 139 | - 1.24alpha18 (2006-03-15) : |
---|
| 140 | |
---|

[2760] | 156 | |
---|
[2773] | 157 | - optimized pkbcodes, pkprinters and pkusers using edpykota as |
---|
| 158 | the model. |
---|
[2765] | 159 | |
---|
[2762] | 160 | - 'edpykota --list' and 'pkusers --list' are now authorized |
---|
| 161 | to mere mortal users, but the list is restricted to informations |
---|
| 162 | about the current user. |
---|
| 163 | |
---|
[2759] | 164 | - Extended the functionnality of the 'onbackenderror' directive to |

---|
| 173 | |
---|
| 174 | - Introduced the pkusers command line tool to manage users and |
---|
| 175 | users groups. This command doesn't deal with print quota entries, |
---|
| 176 | which continue to be managed through the edpykota command line |
---|
| 177 | tool. |
---|
| 178 | |
---|
| 179 | - Major rewrite and incompatible changes to command line options |
---|
| 180 | in edpykota. This command now only deals with print quota |
---|
| 181 | entries. Printers, users (or users groups) now have to be created |
---|
| 182 | first using pkprinters or pkusers. |
---|
| 183 | |

---|
| 188 | jobs anymore. |
---|
| 189 | |
---|
| 190 | - Introduced the 'balancezero' directive to specify any value |
---|
| 191 | as the balance limit instead of 0.0. This can allow admins to |
---|
| 192 | give a few free credits to users, for example. |
---|
| 193 | |
---|
[2668] | 194 | - 1.24alpha11 : |
---|
| 195 | |
---|
[2686] | 196 | - Huge speed improvements when modifying billing codes and |

---|
| 200 | for all actions. |
---|
| 201 | |
---|

---|
| 211 | |
---|
| 212 | - Preliminary support for MySQL, thanks to Matt Hyclak. |
---|
| 213 | |
---|
[2631] | 214 | - 1.24alpha8 : |
---|
| 215 | |
---|
[2635] | 216 | - The 'preaccounter' configuration directive was introduced to control |
---|
| 217 | which parser to use for precomputation of the job's size. When unset, |
---|
| 218 | the internal parser is used just like it was previously. See |
---|
| 219 | conf/pykota.conf.sample for more details. |
---|
| 220 | |
---|
[2631] | 221 | - Now subprocesses launched through the overwrite_jobticket directive |
---|
| 222 | can also output 'CANCEL', to represent the user's own choice to |
---|
| 223 | cancel the print job. |
---|
| 224 | |
---|
[2622] | 225 | - 1.24alpha7 : |
---|
| 226 | |
---|
[2627] | 227 | - pkbanner now handles new print limiting modes correctly. |
---|
| 228 | |
---|
[2624] | 229 | - The cupspykota backend wrapper now accepts to be interrupted |
---|
| 230 | with a kill -INT. This causes an immediate and clean abort |
---|
| 231 | of the current print job. |
---|
| 232 | |
---|
[2623] | 233 | - Matt Hyclak contributed the possibility to store the printing |
---|
| 234 | history in a MySQL database. See the contributed/ directory |
---|
| 235 | for details. |
---|
| 236 | |
---|
[2622] | 237 | - Added 2006 to the copyright's years. |
---|
| 238 | |
---|
[2609] | 239 | - 1.24alpha6 : |
---|
| 240 | |
---|
[2615] | 241 | - Fixed internal SNMP and PJL handling code for very fast |
---|
| 242 | printers : PyKota didn't see them going from 'idle' |
---|
| 243 | to 'printing' to 'idle' again. |
---|
| 244 | |
---|
[2614] | 245 | - Now waitprinter.sh accepts SNMP version number and |
---|
| 246 | community name as arguments, thanks to Brandon |
---|
| 247 | Holbrook. |
---|
| 248 | |
---|
[2609] | 249 | - Now command line errors and Ctrl+C repectively cause |
---|
| 250 | PyKota commands to exit with status -2 and -3. |
---|
| 251 | |
---|
[2600] | 252 | - 1.24alpha5 : |
---|
| 253 | |
---|
[2605] | 254 | - All command line tools now accept -A | --arguments filename.args |
---|
| 255 | as a way to bypass the shell's maximal command line size : |
---|
| 256 | just put each argument on a line by itself in a file, and |
---|
| 257 | pass the file's name as the -A | --arguments command line |
---|
| 258 | option's argument. For now this won't be documented in |
---|
| 259 | commands' helps. |
---|
| 260 | |
---|
[2600] | 261 | - dumpykota can now dump the complete database in XML |
---|
| 262 | format. |
---|
| 263 | |
---|
[2593] | 264 | - 1.24alpha4 : |
---|
| 265 | |
---|
| 266 | - Added support for the SQLite3 backend. |
---|
| 267 | See pykota/initscripts/sqlite/README.sqlite |
---|
| 268 | |
---|
[2588] | 269 | - 1.24alpha3 : |
---|
| 270 | |
---|
| 271 | - Fix for mailandpopup.sh : smbstatus can't be run setuid, |
---|
| 272 | so we regain priviledges before running an external |
---|
| 273 | mailto directive. |
---|
| 274 | |
---|
[2584] | 275 | - 1.24alpha2 : |
---|
| 276 | |
---|
| 277 | - Introduce the "onbackenderror" directive in pykota.conf, to |
---|
| 278 | control if the user must be charged or not whenever a real |
---|
| 279 | CUPS backend fails. The default value is 'nocharge'. |
---|
| 280 | Set it to 'charge' if you think your users can cause a CUPS |
---|
| 281 | backend to fail. |
---|
| 282 | |
---|
| 283 | - Now mark original backends related problems as such in the |
---|
| 284 | printing history. Modified printquota.cgi and pykota.css |
---|
| 285 | to make them be more visible. |
---|
| 286 | |
---|
[2576] | 287 | - 1.24alpha1 : |
---|
| 288 | |
---|
[2581] | 289 | - Fixed a problem which caused backend errors to be ignored. |
---|
| 290 | |
---|
[2576] | 291 | - The sample LDIF file now contains the two necessary user |
---|
| 292 | entries to have an LDAP PyKota Admin and an LDAP PyKota |
---|
| 293 | ReadOnly user. The sample configuration files were updated |
---|
| 294 | to contain the default passwords used in the LDIF file. |
---|
| 295 | |
---|
| 296 | - dumpykota is now more strict when checking arguments. |
---|
| 297 | |
---|
[2562] | 298 | - 1.23 : |
---|
| 299 | |
---|

---|
| 305 | |
---|
| 306 | - Improved French and Swedish translations. |
---|
| 307 | |
---|
[2474] | 308 | - 1.23beta : |
---|
| 309 | |
---|
| 310 | - Now the mailto directive is honored in all cases where the job is |
---|
| 311 | denied or a warning has to be issued, and the correct reason |
---|
| 312 | can be sent back to the user. |
---|
| 313 | |
---|
| 314 | - The PYKOTAREASON environment variable, if defined, contains the |
---|
| 315 | textual reason why the job was denied or a warning has to be |
---|
| 316 | issued. |
---|
| 317 | |
---|
[2465] | 318 | - 1.23alpha31 : |
---|
| 319 | |
---|
| 320 | - Added support for --maxjobsize, --passthrough and --nopassthrough |
---|
| 321 | in pkprinters. These modes are now also honored when printing. |
---|
| 322 | |
---|
[2466] | 323 | - Allows the admin to restrict the number of print queues which will |
---|
| 324 | be treated by pkturnkey by passing queues' names as additionnal |
---|
| 325 | arguments on pkturnkey's command line. |
---|
| 326 | |
---|
[2467] | 327 | - pkturnkey now supersedes pkhint with the help of the -c | --doconf |
---|
| 328 | command line option. |
---|
| 329 | |
---|
[2452] | 330 | - 1.23alpha30 : |
---|
| 331 | |
---|
| 332 | - Database changes : you MUST use upgrade-to-1.23.sql again if you |
---|
| 333 | use PostgreSQL, or copy the new schema and restart your LDAP |
---|
| 334 | server if you use LDAP. |
---|
| 335 | |
---|
| 336 | - The -C | --comment command line switch was added to edpykota to |
---|
| 337 | attach textual information to modifications done to a user's |
---|
| 338 | account balance. |
---|
| 339 | |
---|
| 340 | - The -l | --limitby command line switch to edpykota was modified |
---|
| 341 | to allow 'noquota', 'nochange', and 'noprint'. See the edpykota |
---|
| 342 | command's help or manual page for details. |
---|
| 343 | |
---|
| 344 | - The -i | --ingroups command line switch to repykota allows |
---|
| 345 | PyKota Administrators to only lists members of the specified |
---|
| 346 | group or groups (separated with commas). |
---|
| 347 | |
---|
[2454] | 348 | - The -I | --increase command line switch to edpykota allows |
---|
| 349 | to increase or decrease page limits. |
---|
| 350 | |
---|
[2455] | 351 | - Added the precomputed job's size and price to the history |
---|
| 352 | for controlling purpose. |
---|
| 353 | |

---|
[2449] | 356 | - Fixed a small problem with billing codes. |
---|

---|
| 359 | launched by the overwrite_jobticket directive more powerful. |
---|
| 360 | |
---|
[2447] | 361 | - Now autopykota also creates print quota entries for the user on the |
---|
| 362 | printers groups the current printer is a member of. |
---|
| 363 | |

---|
| 371 | |
---|
| 372 | - Replaced the --dryrun command line option by the --force |
---|
| 373 | command line option in pkturnkey, with exactly the opposite |
---|
| 374 | effect (for security reasons). |
---|
| 375 | |
---|
[2425] | 376 | - 1.23alpha26 : |
---|
| 377 | |
---|

[2418] | 390 | - 1.23alpha24 : |
---|
| 391 | |
---|
| 392 | - Allows different databases to be used depending on the |
---|
| 393 | user's rights. This allows PyKota admins to directly |
---|
| 394 | use a master LDAP server for read+write, while letting |
---|
| 395 | normal users using the replicas for readonly access. |
---|
| 396 | NB : using different storage backends is also possible, |
---|
| 397 | but you're on your own there. |
---|
| 398 | |

---|
| 408 | It's now much more readable, maintainable, etc... |
---|
| 409 | |
---|
| 410 | - LPRng support is OFFICIALLY dropped for now. LPRng users are |
---|
| 411 | advised to download earlier releases or purchase the |
---|
| 412 | PyKota v1.22HotFix1 Official release. LPRng support |
---|
| 413 | MIGHT be re-added later. |

---|
| 421 | |
---|

---|
| 444 | |
---|
| 445 | - pkpgcounter is now distributed separately only. This |

| 447 | v1.56 or higher prior to being able to run PyKota. |
---|
| 448 | |
---|
| 449 | - Removed all the autoconf/automake stuff which was outdated |

---|
| 453 | |
---|
| 454 | - Extracted the GPL blurb from all commands' help, and use |
---|
| 455 | a static version only once. This saves space big time, and |
---|
| 456 | eases future translations. |
---|
| 457 | |
---|
[2342] | 458 | - 1.23alpha15 : |
---|

---|
| 485 | in addition to parsing them. |
---|
| 486 | |
---|
[2305] | 487 | - 1.23alpha9 : |
---|
| 488 | |
---|
[2308] | 489 | - The denyduplicates directive now accepts a command line as an |
---|
| 490 | argument beside yes/no. The command is launched and must |
---|
| 491 | print either ALLOW or DENY to its standard output. Then the |
---|
| 492 | job gets allowed or denied by PyKota. |
---|
| 493 | This will allow user interaction in the near future. |
---|
| 494 | |
---|
[2307] | 495 | - Introduced the new 'striptitle' directive to remove ugly prefixes |
---|
| 496 | from print job's titles whenever a new print job is submitted. |
---|

---|
[2305] | 498 | - Fixed internal SNMP accounter for printers which only have a life time |
---|
| 499 | page counter, and not a volatile page counter. |

---|
| 505 | |
---|
| 506 | - The message used when the job's filename, title and options are |
---|
| 507 | hidden because of the privacy directive is now translated at |
---|
| 508 | retrieval time, instead of at saving time. |
---|
| 509 | |
---|
| 510 | - Minor fix in the LDAP backend code. |
---|
| 511 | |
---|
[2277] | 512 | - 1.23alpha7 : |
---|
| 513 | |
---|
| 514 | - Improvements to the internal PJL and SNMP accounter : now should |
---|
| 515 | support more printers and waste less time. |
---|
| 516 | |
---|
[2276] | 517 | - 1.23alpha6 : |
---|
| 518 | |
---|
| 519 | - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now |
---|
| 520 | accept a positive or negative offset to be added to the special |

---|
| 552 | |
---|
[2241] | 553 | - Sets current username to the user CUPS runs as instead of "root" |
---|
| 554 | when printing test pages from CUPS' web interface (because |

---|
| 590 | and exported to subprocesses as the PYKOTAJOBBILLING environment |
---|
| 591 | variable. |
---|

---|
| 623 | |
---|
[2179] | 624 | - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota |
---|
| 625 | from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed. |
---|
| 626 | |
---|
[2167] | 627 | - 1.22alpha2 : |
---|
| 628 | |

---|
| 663 | |
---|
[2074] | 664 | - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting |
---|
| 665 | directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not |
---|
| 666 | parsed again : the precomputed size is used directly in this |
---|
| 667 | case. |
---|
| 668 | |
---|
[2073] | 669 | - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts |

| 682 | - The job's size is now always precomputed, even when |
---|
| 683 | 'enforcement' is not set to 'strict'. |
---|
| 684 | |
---|
| 685 | - Introduction of the new 'trustjobsize' configuration directive |
---|
| 686 | to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample |
---|

---|
| 690 | |
---|
| 691 | - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script |

---|
| 693 | want to copy the new schema in place. |
---|
| 694 | |
---|
| 695 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |
---|
| 696 | option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor |
---|
| 697 | on each print job's cost for a particular user. |
---|
| 698 | |
---|
| 699 | - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to |
---|
| 700 | 80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse |
---|
| 701 | repykota's output in their own tools are strongly advised |
---|
| 702 | to parse dumpykota's output instead. |
---|
| 703 | |
---|
| 704 | - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive |
---|
| 705 | to allow up to N (the directive's value) deny banners to be |
---|
| 706 | printed even if the print account is forbidden to print. |
---|
| 707 | |
---|
| 708 | - Better detection of the number of copies in the PostScript parser. |
---|

---|
[2030] | 722 | |
---|
[2032] | 723 | - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to |
---|
| 724 | a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is |
---|
| 725 | necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER |
---|
| 726 | environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see |
---|
| 727 | the file cgi-bin/README for details. |
---|
| 728 | The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota |
---|
| 729 | administrator. |

---|
| 739 | |
---|
| 740 | - Introduction of the new dumpykota.cgi CGI script, which |
---|
| 741 | allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be |
---|
| 742 | interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you |
---|
| 743 | may have to change your web server's configuration, |
---|
| 744 | please see pykota/cgi-bin/README |
---|
| 745 | |
---|
[2013] | 746 | - 1.21alpha18 : |

| 747 | |
---|
[2014] | 748 | - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log |
---|
[2013] | 749 | format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows |
---|
| 750 | people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer |
---|
| 751 | (two completely different beasts) with PyKota. |
---|
| 752 | |
---|

---|
| 754 | |
---|
[2010] | 755 | - Fixed field type's name in XML dumps. |

---|
| 1009 | |

---|
| 1084 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|

---|
| 1101 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
| 1102 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
| 1103 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
| 1104 | when strange locale related messages are sent |

| 1105 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
| 1106 | |

---|
| 1108 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |

---|
| 1154 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |
---|
| 1155 | |
---|
[1611] | 1156 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
| 1157 | |
---|
| 1158 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
| 1159 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
| 1160 | |
---|
[1605] | 1161 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
| 1162 | |
---|
| 1163 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
| 1164 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
| 1165 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
| 1166 | |
---|
[1600] | 1167 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
| 1168 | |
---|
[1604] | 1169 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
[1600] | 1170 | |
---|
[1604] | 1171 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
| 1172 | |
---|
[1599] | 1173 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
| 1174 | |
---|
| 1175 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
| 1176 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
| 1177 | this older version of Python. |
---|
| 1178 | |
---|
[1592] | 1179 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
| 1180 | |
---|
[1595] | 1181 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
| 1182 | |
---|
[1593] | 1183 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |
---|
| 1184 | ANY character, expected '/' and '@'. |
---|
| 1185 | |
---|
[1592] | 1186 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
| 1187 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
| 1188 | |
---|
[1584] | 1189 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
| 1190 | |
---|
[1591] | 1191 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
| 1192 | copies set for each page. |
---|
| 1193 | |
---|
[1588] | 1194 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 1195 | |
---|
| 1196 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 1197 | |
---|
[1584] | 1198 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
| 1199 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
| 1200 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
| 1201 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
| 1202 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
| 1203 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
| 1204 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
| 1205 | |
---|
[1575] | 1206 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
| 1207 | |
---|
[1582] | 1208 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
| 1209 | and is displayed in reports. |
---|
| 1210 | |
---|
| 1211 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
| 1212 | |
---|
[1578] | 1213 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
| 1214 | |
---|
[1575] | 1215 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
| 1216 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
| 1217 | |
---|
[1570] | 1218 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
| 1219 | |
---|
[1573] | 1220 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
| 1221 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
| 1222 | |
---|
[1572] | 1223 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
| 1224 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
| 1225 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
| 1226 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
| 1227 | |
---|
[1570] | 1228 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
| 1229 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
[1572] | 1230 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
[1570] | 1231 | |
---|
[1564] | 1232 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
| 1233 | |
---|
| 1234 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
| 1235 | |
---|
[1566] | 1236 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
| 1237 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
[1568] | 1238 | |
---|
| 1239 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
[1566] | 1240 | |
---|
[1556] | 1241 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
| 1242 | |
---|
[1558] | 1243 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
[1556] | 1244 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
| 1245 | |
---|
[1558] | 1246 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
[1557] | 1247 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
| 1248 | be undercharged. |
---|
| 1249 | |
---|
[1558] | 1250 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
| 1251 | |
---|
[1552] | 1252 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
| 1253 | |
---|
| 1254 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
| 1255 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
| 1256 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
| 1257 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
| 1258 | |
---|
[1545] | 1259 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
| 1260 | |
---|
[1549] | 1261 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
| 1262 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
| 1263 | |
---|
[1550] | 1264 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
| 1265 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
| 1266 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
| 1267 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
| 1268 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
| 1269 | version of Python. |
---|
[1547] | 1270 | |
---|
[1546] | 1271 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
[1545] | 1272 | |
---|
[1542] | 1273 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
| 1274 | |
---|
[1544] | 1275 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
| 1276 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
| 1277 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
| 1278 | |
---|
[1543] | 1279 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
| 1280 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
| 1281 | and PS. |
---|
| 1282 | |
---|
[1542] | 1283 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
| 1284 | |
---|
[1541] | 1285 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
| 1286 | |
---|
[1542] | 1287 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
[1541] | 1288 | |
---|
[1536] | 1289 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
| 1290 | |
---|
| 1291 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
| 1292 | |
---|
[1539] | 1293 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
| 1294 | files are parsed. |
---|
| 1295 | |
---|
[1526] | 1296 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
| 1297 | |
---|
| 1298 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
| 1299 | or version. |
---|
[1527] | 1300 | |
---|
| 1301 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
[1532] | 1302 | |
---|
| 1303 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
| 1304 | |
---|
| 1305 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
| 1306 | cause problems. |
---|
[1500] | 1307 | |
---|
[1522] | 1308 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
| 1309 | |
---|
| 1310 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
| 1311 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
| 1312 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
| 1313 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
| 1314 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
| 1315 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
| 1316 | |
---|
[1524] | 1317 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
| 1318 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
| 1319 | more easily readable. |
---|
| 1320 | |
---|
[1517] | 1321 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
| 1322 | |
---|
| 1323 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
| 1324 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
| 1325 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
| 1326 | |
---|
| 1327 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
| 1328 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
| 1329 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
| 1330 | |
---|
| 1331 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
[1519] | 1332 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
[1521] | 1333 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
| 1334 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
[1517] | 1335 | |
---|
[1521] | 1336 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
| 1337 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
| 1338 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
| 1339 | |
---|
[1502] | 1340 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
| 1341 | |
---|
[1510] | 1342 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
| 1343 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
| 1344 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
| 1345 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
| 1346 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
| 1347 | |
---|
[1502] | 1348 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
| 1349 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
| 1350 | |
---|
[1500] | 1351 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
| 1352 | |
---|
| 1353 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
| 1354 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
| 1355 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
| 1356 | |
---|
[1495] | 1357 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
| 1358 | |
---|
[1499] | 1359 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
| 1360 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
| 1361 | |
---|
[1498] | 1362 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
| 1363 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
| 1364 | |
---|
[1497] | 1365 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
| 1366 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
| 1367 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
| 1368 | feature. |
---|
| 1369 | |
---|
[1495] | 1370 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
| 1371 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 1372 | for details. |
---|
| 1373 | |
---|
[1494] | 1374 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
| 1375 | |
---|
| 1376 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
| 1377 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
| 1378 | as time permits. |
---|
| 1379 | |
---|
[1492] | 1380 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
| 1381 | |
---|
| 1382 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
| 1383 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
| 1384 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
| 1385 | job. |
---|
| 1386 | |
---|
[1490] | 1387 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
| 1388 | |
---|
| 1389 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
| 1390 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
| 1391 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
| 1392 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
| 1393 | in the near future. |
---|
| 1394 | |
---|
[1483] | 1395 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
| 1396 | |
---|
[1488] | 1397 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
| 1398 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
| 1399 | |
---|
[1487] | 1400 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
| 1401 | |
---|
[1485] | 1402 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
| 1403 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
| 1404 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
| 1405 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
| 1406 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
| 1407 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
| 1408 | |
---|
[1483] | 1409 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
| 1410 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
| 1411 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
| 1412 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1413 | |
---|
[1478] | 1414 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
| 1415 | |
---|
[1482] | 1416 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
| 1417 | |
---|
[1480] | 1418 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
| 1419 | too. |
---|
| 1420 | |
---|
[1478] | 1421 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
| 1422 | |
---|
[1475] | 1423 | - 1.19alpha8 : |
---|
| 1424 | |
---|
| 1425 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
| 1426 | |
---|
| 1427 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
| 1428 | |
---|
| 1429 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 1430 | |
---|
| 1431 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
| 1432 | |
---|
| 1433 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
| 1434 | |
---|
[1473] | 1435 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
| 1436 | |
---|
| 1437 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
| 1438 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
| 1439 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
| 1440 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
| 1441 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
| 1442 | |
---|
[1463] | 1443 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
| 1444 | |
---|
[1471] | 1445 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
| 1446 | |
---|
[1463] | 1447 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
| 1448 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
| 1449 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
| 1450 | PostScript. |
---|
| 1451 | |
---|
[1464] | 1452 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
| 1453 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
| 1454 | |
---|
[1451] | 1455 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
| 1456 | |
---|
[1458] | 1457 | - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least) |
---|
| 1458 | |
---|
[1459] | 1459 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
| 1460 | problems under heavy load. |
---|
| 1461 | |
---|
[1456] | 1462 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
| 1463 | |
---|
[1453] | 1464 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
| 1465 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
| 1466 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
| 1467 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
[1451] | 1468 | |
---|
[1455] | 1469 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
| 1470 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
| 1471 | |
---|
[1447] | 1472 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
| 1473 | |
---|
| 1474 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
| 1475 | is now fixed. |
---|
| 1476 | |
---|
[1451] | 1477 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
| 1478 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|
| 1479 | PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide |
---|
[1449] | 1480 | |
---|
| 1481 | - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration |
---|
[1450] | 1482 | is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for |
---|
| 1483 | testing. |
---|
[1448] | 1484 | |
---|
[1437] | 1485 | - 1.19alpha3 : |
---|
| 1486 | |
---|
| 1487 | - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument |
---|
| 1488 | to list informations about printers. |
---|
| 1489 | |
---|
[1430] | 1490 | - 1.19alpha2 : |
---|
| 1491 | |
---|
| 1492 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|
| 1493 | accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL. |
---|
| 1494 | |
---|
[1417] | 1495 | - 1.19alpha1 : |
---|
| 1496 | |
---|
[1421] | 1497 | - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too. |
---|
| 1498 | |
---|
[1417] | 1499 | - Inclusion of Michele Baldessari's work on autotools. |
---|
| 1500 | |
---|
[1415] | 1501 | - 1.18 : |
---|
| 1502 | |
---|
| 1503 | - Improved documentation |
---|
| 1504 | |
---|
[1411] | 1505 | - 1.18beta2 : |
---|
| 1506 | |
---|
| 1507 | - Fix for raw jobs with cupspykota |
---|

[1130] | 1894 | - 1.15alpha5 : |
---|
| 1895 | |
---|
| 1896 | - Caching mechanism for all database queries. |
---|
| 1897 | |
---|
[1123] | 1898 | - 1.15alpha4 : |
---|
| 1899 | |
---|
| 1900 | - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive |
---|
| 1901 | modification. |
---|
| 1902 | |
---|
[1121] | 1903 | - 1.15alpha3 : |
---|
| 1904 | |
---|
| 1905 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|
| 1906 | REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows |
---|
| 1907 | people to protect its use with .htaccess files. |
---|
| 1908 | When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then |
---|
| 1909 | unrestricted access is granted. |
---|
[1122] | 1910 | NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server |
---|
| 1911 | (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed. |
---|
[1121] | 1912 | |
---|
[1116] | 1913 | - 1.15alpha2 : |
---|
| 1914 | |
---|

| 1918 | |
---|
[1115] | 1919 | - 1.15alpha1 : |
---|
| 1920 | |
---|
| 1921 | - Bug fix in SQL code. |
---|
| 1922 | |
---|
[1113] | 1923 | - 1.14 : |
---|
| 1924 | |
---|
| 1925 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
| 1926 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
| 1927 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
| 1928 | |
---|
[1111] | 1929 | - 1.14beta2 : |
---|
| 1930 | |
---|
| 1931 | - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail. |
---|
| 1932 | Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email |
---|
| 1933 | address for the user. See sample configuration file for |
---|
| 1934 | details. |
---|
| 1935 | |
---|
[1105] | 1936 | - 1.14beta : |
---|
| 1937 | |
---|
| 1938 | - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced, |
---|
| 1939 | newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add |
---|
| 1940 | quota information to existing entries or elsewhere. |
---|
| 1941 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 1942 | |
---|
[1099] | 1943 | - 1.14alpha9 : |
---|
| 1944 | |
---|
| 1945 | - Documentation improved. |
---|
| 1946 | |
---|
| 1947 | - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value |
---|
| 1948 | if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his |
---|
| 1949 | limiting factor is "balance". |
---|
| 1950 | |
---|
[1095] | 1951 | - 1.14alpha8 : |
---|
| 1952 | |
---|
| 1953 | - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for |
---|

---|
| 1957 | |
---|
[1089] | 1958 | - 1.14alpha7 : |
---|
| 1959 | |
---|
| 1960 | - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above |
---|
| 1961 | quota. The check is only done at print time. This |
---|
| 1962 | prevents the sending of email messages when creating |
---|
| 1963 | user quotas if quota is already reached at creation |
---|
| 1964 | time. |
---|
| 1965 | |
---|
[1087] | 1966 | - 1.14alpha6 : |
---|
| 1967 | |
---|
| 1968 | - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf |
---|
| 1969 | and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to |
---|
| 1970 | have Read/Write access to the Quota Database. |
---|
| 1971 | Don't forget to : |
---|
| 1972 | |
---|
| 1973 | $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf |
---|
| 1974 | |
---|
| 1975 | - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced |
---|
| 1976 | for the same reason. |
---|
| 1977 | |
---|
| 1978 | - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses |
---|
| 1979 | support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends. |
---|
| 1980 | |
---|
[1085] | 1981 | - 1.14alpha5 : |

---|
| 1986 | |
---|
| 1987 | - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance |
---|
| 1988 | are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added |
---|
| 1989 | as two different LDAP entries. |
---|
| 1990 | |
---|
[1079] | 1991 | - 1.14alpha3 : |

---|
| 1997 | |
---|
| 1998 | - Typo fixed when using the --prototype option to edpykota |
---|

---|
[1077] | 2000 | - 1.14alpha1 : |
---|
| 2001 | |
---|
| 2002 | - Poor man's treshold included : users with a low account |
---|
| 2003 | balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent |
---|
| 2004 | a warning message. |
---|
| 2005 | |
---|
| 2006 | - All warning messages to users are now configurable. |
---|
| 2007 | NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not. |

---|
| 2067 | users or groups names on the command line. Users |
---|
| 2068 | and groups names may contain wildcards. |
---|
| 2069 | |
---|
| 2070 | - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the |
---|
| 2071 | current user when launched by non-root users. |
---|
| 2072 | |
---|
| 2073 | - Minor bug fixes. |
---|
| 2074 | |
---|
[1029] | 2075 | - 1.09alpha1 : |
---|
| 2076 | |
---|
| 2077 | - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options |
---|
| 2078 | were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some |
---|
| 2079 | hints to the LDAP storage backend. |
---|
[1044] | 2080 | |
---|
| 2081 | - Severe database access optimizations were done by |

---|
| 2092 | - Code refactoring. |
---|
[1029] | 2093 | |
---|
[1021] | 2094 | - A single user/password pair is used to connect |
---|
| 2095 | to the database backend. The storageuser configuration |
---|
| 2096 | field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are |
---|
| 2097 | not used anymore. |
---|
[1029] | 2098 | |
---|
[1022] | 2099 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |
---|
| 2100 | file for details. |
---|
| 2101 | WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in |
---|
| 2102 | debug mode, for now. |
---|
[1021] | 2103 | |

[1016] | 2117 | - 1.08alpha5 : |
---|
| 2118 | |
---|
[1017] | 2119 | - More good work on LDAP storage. |
---|
| 2120 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
[1016] | 2121 | |
---|
[1014] | 2122 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
| 2123 | |
---|
| 2124 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
| 2125 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
| 2126 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
| 2127 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
| 2128 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
| 2129 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
| 2130 | |
---|
[1000] | 2131 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
| 2132 | |
---|
| 2133 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
| 2134 | |
---|
| 2135 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
| 2136 | |
---|
| 2137 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
| 2138 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
| 2139 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
| 2140 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
| 2141 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
| 2142 | |
---|
| 2143 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
| 2144 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
| 2145 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
| 2146 | |
---|
| 2147 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
| 2148 | |
---|
[998] | 2149 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
| 2150 | |
---|
| 2151 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
| 2152 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
[1000] | 2153 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
[998] | 2154 | |
---|
[991] | 2155 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
| 2156 | |
---|
| 2157 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
| 2158 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
| 2159 | |
---|
[989] | 2160 | - 1.06 : |
---|
| 2161 | |
---|
| 2162 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
| 2163 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
| 2164 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
| 2165 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
| 2166 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
| 2167 | |
---|
[980] | 2168 | - 1.05 : |
---|
| 2169 | |
---|
| 2170 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
| 2171 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
| 2172 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
| 2173 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
| 2174 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
| 2175 | learn how to do. |
---|
| 2176 | |
---|
| 2177 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
| 2178 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
| 2179 | sent to the printer. |
---|
| 2180 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
| 2181 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
| 2182 | the printer. |
---|
| 2183 | |
---|
[976] | 2184 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
| 2185 | |
---|
| 2186 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
| 2187 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
| 2188 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
| 2189 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
| 2190 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
| 2191 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
| 2192 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
| 2193 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
[978] | 2194 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
[976] | 2195 | |
---|
[973] | 2196 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
| 2197 | |
---|
| 2198 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
| 2199 | |
---|
[975] | 2200 | - Better error handling. |
---|
| 2201 | |
---|
[962] | 2202 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
| 2203 | |
---|
[969] | 2204 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
| 2205 | |
---|
[962] | 2206 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
| 2207 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
| 2208 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
| 2209 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
| 2210 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
| 2211 | |
---|
[970] | 2212 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
| 2213 | |
---|
[960] | 2214 | - 1.04 : |
---|
[956] | 2215 | |
---|
| 2216 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
| 2217 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
| 2218 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
| 2219 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
| 2220 | |
---|
[954] | 2221 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
| 2222 | |
---|
[953] | 2223 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
| 2224 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
| 2225 | |
---|
[950] | 2226 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
| 2227 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
| 2228 | |
---|
[947] | 2229 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
| 2230 | |
---|
| 2231 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
| 2232 | |
---|
[942] | 2233 | - 1.03 : |
---|
| 2234 | |
---|
| 2235 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
| 2236 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
[965] | 2237 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
[942] | 2238 | |
---|
[932] | 2239 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
[929] | 2240 | |
---|
[932] | 2241 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
| 2242 | subdirectory. |
---|
| 2243 | |
---|
[936] | 2244 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
| 2245 | |
---|
[927] | 2246 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
| 2247 | |
---|
[910] | 2248 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
| 2249 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
| 2250 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
| 2251 | |
---|
[917] | 2252 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
| 2253 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
| 2254 | details. |
---|
| 2255 | |
---|
[885] | 2256 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
| 2257 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
[892] | 2258 | |
---|
| 2259 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
[885] | 2260 | |
---|
[894] | 2261 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
| 2262 | |
---|
[899] | 2263 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
| 2264 | reports in the future. |
---|
[900] | 2265 | |
---|
| 2266 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
| 2267 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
| 2268 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
| 2269 | |
---|
[901] | 2270 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
| 2271 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
| 2272 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
| 2273 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
| 2274 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[909] | 2275 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
| 2276 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
| 2277 | in this case. |
---|
[908] | 2278 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
| 2279 | off. |
---|
[901] | 2280 | |
---|
| 2281 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
| 2282 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
[908] | 2283 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
| 2284 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
[901] | 2285 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
[908] | 2286 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
[925] | 2287 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
[901] | 2288 | |
---|

[877] | 2303 | - 1.02 : |
---|
[859] | 2304 | |
---|
[871] | 2305 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |

---|
| 2307 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
| 2308 | |
---|
[872] | 2309 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
| 2310 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
| 2311 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
| 2312 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
| 2313 | if needed. |
---|
| 2314 | |
---|
[859] | 2315 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
| 2316 | |
---|
| 2317 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
| 2318 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |

---|
| 2326 | |
---|
| 2327 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
| 2328 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
| 2329 | |
---|
| 2330 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
| 2331 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
| 2332 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
| 2333 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
| 2334 | |
---|
[853] | 2335 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
| 2336 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
| 2337 | for details. |
---|
| 2338 | |
---|
[852] | 2339 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |

[846] | 2347 | - 1.00 : |
---|
| 2348 | |
---|
| 2349 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
| 2350 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
| 2351 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
| 2352 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
| 2353 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
| 2354 | |
---|
| 2355 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
| 2356 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
| 2357 | |
---|
| 2358 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |

---|
| 2361 | |
---|
| 2362 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |

---|
| 2366 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
[835] | 2367 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
---|
[833] | 2368 | |
---|
[827] | 2369 | - 0.98 : |
---|

---|
| 2372 | |
---|

---|
| 2376 | |
---|
| 2377 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
---|
| 2378 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
| 2379 | |
---|
| 2380 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
| 2381 | |
---|
[821] | 2382 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
[819] | 2383 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
| 2384 | |
---|
| 2385 | - Small bug fixes. |
---|
| 2386 | |
---|
[803] | 2387 | - 0.96 : |

---|
[808] | 2389 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
---|
[807] | 2390 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
| 2391 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
[803] | 2392 | |
---|
[807] | 2393 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
| 2394 | |
---|
| 2395 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
| 2396 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
| 2397 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
