22 | PyKota NEWS : |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | - 1.22alpha3 : |
---|
25 | |
---|
26 | - Fixes some case related problems with some LDAP backends. |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | - Fixes some problem for printers which directly go from |
---|
29 | "idle" to "warmup" and never to "printing" before |
---|
30 | returning to "idle". |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota |
---|
33 | from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed. |
---|
34 | |
---|
35 | - 1.22alpha2 : |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | - Introduction of the web enabled print quote generator. |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | - Fixed a potential race condition when several backend |
---|
40 | wrappers were present in CUPS' backend directory. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | - Fixed dumpykota's output in CUPS' page_log format to better |
---|
43 | match CUPS format. |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | - 1.22alpha1 : |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | - Import into Subversion. |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | - 1.21 : |
---|
50 | |
---|
51 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
52 | |
---|
53 | - Improved dependencies checker. |
---|
54 | |
---|
55 | - Updated some translation files. |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | - 1.21beta2 : |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | - Fixed an LPRng specific bug. |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | - Several improvements on stability issues with manually modified |
---|
62 | LDAP trees. |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | - Documentation improvements. |
---|
65 | |
---|
66 | - 1.21beta : |
---|
67 | |
---|
68 | - Prepared translation files for next release. |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | - 1.21alpha27 : |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting |
---|
73 | directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not |
---|
74 | parsed again : the precomputed size is used directly in this |
---|
75 | case. |
---|
76 | |
---|
77 | - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts |
---|
78 | limited by balance. |
---|
79 | |
---|
80 | - 1.21alpha26 : |
---|
81 | |
---|
82 | - Fixed the handling of the 'maxdenybanners' directive. |
---|
83 | |
---|
84 | - Introduced the 'denyduplicates' directive. |
---|
85 | |
---|
86 | - Fixed some database related glitches. |
---|
87 | |
---|
88 | - 1.21alpha25 : |
---|
89 | |
---|
90 | - The job's size is now always precomputed, even when |
---|
91 | 'enforcement' is not set to 'strict'. |
---|
92 | |
---|
93 | - Introduction of the new 'trustjobsize' configuration directive |
---|
94 | to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample |
---|
95 | configuration file for details. |
---|
96 | |
---|
97 | - 1.21alpha24 : |
---|
98 | |
---|
99 | - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script |
---|
100 | is now included for PostgreSQL. LDAP users may just |
---|
101 | want to copy the new schema in place. |
---|
102 | |
---|
103 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |
---|
104 | option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor |
---|
105 | on each print job's cost for a particular user. |
---|
106 | |
---|
107 | - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to |
---|
108 | 80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse |
---|
109 | repykota's output in their own tools are strongly advised |
---|
110 | to parse dumpykota's output instead. |
---|
111 | |
---|
112 | - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive |
---|
113 | to allow up to N (the directive's value) deny banners to be |
---|
114 | printed even if the print account is forbidden to print. |
---|
115 | |
---|
116 | - Better detection of the number of copies in the PostScript parser. |
---|
117 | |
---|
118 | - 1.21alpha23 : |
---|
119 | |
---|
120 | - Traditional Chinese translation added. |
---|
121 | |
---|
122 | - Several fixes and performance improvements with the LDAP backend. |
---|
123 | |
---|
124 | - 1.21alpha22 : |
---|
125 | |
---|
126 | - edpykota's --delete command line option doesn't consider |
---|
127 | '*' to be the default argument anymore :-) |
---|
128 | |
---|
129 | - 1.21alpha21 : |
---|
130 | |
---|
131 | - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to |
---|
132 | a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is |
---|
133 | necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER |
---|
134 | environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see |
---|
135 | the file cgi-bin/README for details. |
---|
136 | The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota |
---|
137 | administrator. |
---|
138 | |
---|
139 | - Fix exception's name error due to a change in recent versions |
---|
140 | of PygreSQL. |
---|
141 | |
---|
142 | - 1.21alpha20 : |
---|
143 | |
---|
144 | - Big bug fix wrt the datelimit field which was never reset. |
---|
145 | |
---|
146 | - 1.21alpha19 : |
---|
147 | |
---|
148 | - Introduction of the new dumpykota.cgi CGI script, which |
---|
149 | allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be |
---|
150 | interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you |
---|
151 | may have to change your web server's configuration, |
---|
152 | please see pykota/cgi-bin/README |
---|
153 | |
---|
154 | - 1.21alpha18 : |
---|
155 | |
---|
156 | - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log |
---|
157 | format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows |
---|
158 | people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer |
---|
159 | (two completely different beasts) with PyKota. |
---|
160 | |
---|
161 | - 1.21alpha17 : |
---|
162 | |

---|
170 | - 1.21alpha16 : |
---|
171 | |
---|

---|
173 | thanks to Matt Hyclak. |
---|
174 | |
---|
175 | - 1.21alpha15 : |
---|
176 | |
---|
177 | - Normalized field names between LDAP and PostgreSQL backends |
---|
178 | in dumpykota's output. |
---|
179 | |
---|
180 | - dumpykota filtering capabilities are now supported within |
---|
181 | the LDAP backend too. |
---|
182 | |
---|
183 | - 1.21alpha14 : |
---|
184 | |
---|
185 | - dumpykota now supports extended filtering possibilities |
---|
186 | with the PostgreSQL backend (LDAP support will come soon). |
---|
187 | |
---|
188 | - 1.21alpha13 : |
---|
189 | |
---|
190 | - Added a --debug command line option to pkpgcounter, so |
---|
191 | that people may see what really happens, and what will |

---|
202 | |
---|
203 | - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly |
---|
204 | below the user or group with the LDAP backend, using them |
---|
205 | as branches. Thanks to Stefan Wold for the patch. |
---|
206 | See the sample configuration file for details. |
---|
207 | |
---|
208 | - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan |

261 | for them or not, depending on newly introduced directives |
---|
262 | in pykota.conf |
---|
263 | Thanks to Matt Hyclak for the patch. |
---|
264 | |
---|
265 | - 1.21alpha2 : |
---|
266 | |
---|
267 | - Installation script is now non interactive again, as it should |

397 | 'pjl' value in the hardware accounter. |
---|
398 | |
---|
399 | - 1.20alpha15 : |
---|
400 | |
---|
401 | - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created |

---|
451 | |
---|
452 | - 1.20alpha7 : |
---|
453 | |
---|
454 | - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer. |
---|
455 | Needs more work, but no documentation is available. |
---|
456 | |
---|
457 | - 1.20alpha6 : |
---|
458 | |
---|
459 | - Improved mailandpopup.sh script. |
---|
460 | |
---|
461 | - Small fixes for LPRng. |
---|
462 | |
---|
463 | - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers' |
---|
464 | hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not |
---|
465 | meaningful. |
---|
466 | |
---|
467 | - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules |
---|
468 | fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable. |
---|
469 | |
---|
470 | - Fixed a bug in LDAP user deletion code. |
---|
471 | |
---|
472 | - 1.20alpha5 : |
---|
473 | |
---|
474 | - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror' |
---|
475 | to specify what must be done whenever the software or |
---|
476 | hardware accounter fails. Allowed values are 'continue' and |
---|
477 | 'stop' (default). |
---|
478 | |
---|
479 | - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced |
---|
480 | problem. |
---|
481 | |
---|
482 | - 1.20alpha4 : |
---|
483 | |
---|
484 | - Added support for more ghostscript devices in ESC/P2 |
---|
485 | analyzer : stcolor, st800, escp, escpc are now supported. |
---|
486 | |
---|
487 | - 1.20alpha3 : |
---|
488 | |
---|
489 | - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being |
---|
490 | fooled by a change in number of copies : |
---|
491 | The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy |
---|
492 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|
493 | this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but |
---|
494 | now the maximum value seen is used. |
---|
495 | |
---|
496 | - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange |
---|
497 | printer drivers. |
---|
498 | |
---|
499 | - Now hardware accounting method works like software |
---|
500 | accounting method wrt the subprocess' output. |
---|
501 | |
---|
502 | - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue |
---|
503 | when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will |
---|
504 | be configurable in the near future. |
---|
505 | |
---|
506 | - 1.20alpha2 : |
---|
507 | |
---|
508 | - Now software accounting method reads accounter's |
---|
509 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
510 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
511 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
512 | when strange locale related messages are sent |
---|
513 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
514 | |
---|
515 | - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work |
---|
516 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |
---|
517 | and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more |
---|
518 | work to correctly analyze other devices. |
---|
519 | |
---|
520 | - 1.20alpha1 : |
---|
521 | |
---|
522 | - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCLXL parser. |
---|
523 | |
---|
524 | - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser, |
---|
525 | when number of copies was set outside of and before first |
---|
526 | page. |
---|
527 | |
---|
528 | - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in |
---|
529 | PostScript code. |
---|
530 | |
---|
531 | - Added german translation. |
---|
532 | |
---|
533 | - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when |
---|
534 | "enforcement: strict" is used. |
---|
535 | |
---|
536 | - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation. |
---|
537 | |
---|
538 | - 1.19 : |
---|
539 | |
---|
540 | - Updated existing translations. |
---|
541 | |
---|
542 | - Added final Thai and Greek translations. |
---|
543 | |
---|
544 | - Minor last minute bug fixes. |
---|
545 | |
---|
546 | - 1.19beta : |
---|
547 | |
---|
548 | - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems |
---|
549 | to be OK. |
---|
550 | |
---|
551 | - Translation files fixed because of fuzzy matching problem. |
---|
552 | |
---|
553 | - Fixed path to Swedish translation: 'sv' instead of 'se'. |
---|
554 | |
---|
555 | - Added first draft of Thai translation. |
---|
556 | |
---|
557 | - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker. |
---|
558 | |
---|
559 | - 1.19alpha35 : |
---|
560 | |
---|
561 | - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents |
---|
562 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |
---|
563 | |
---|
564 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
565 | |
---|
566 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
567 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
568 | |
---|
569 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
570 | |
---|
571 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
572 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
573 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
574 | |
---|
575 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
576 | |
---|
577 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
578 | |
---|
579 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
580 | |
---|
581 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
582 | |
---|
583 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
584 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
585 | this older version of Python. |
---|
586 | |
---|
587 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
588 | |
---|
589 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
590 | |
---|
591 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |
---|
592 | ANY character, expected '/' and '@'. |
---|
593 | |
---|
594 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
595 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
596 | |
---|
597 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
598 | |
---|
599 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
600 | copies set for each page. |
---|
601 | |
---|
602 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
603 | |
---|
604 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
605 | |
---|
606 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
607 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
608 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
609 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
610 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
611 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
612 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
613 | |
---|
614 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
615 | |
---|
616 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
617 | and is displayed in reports. |
---|
618 | |
---|
619 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
620 | |
---|
621 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
622 | |
---|
623 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
624 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
625 | |
---|
626 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
627 | |
---|
628 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
629 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
630 | |
---|
631 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
632 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
633 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
634 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
635 | |
---|
636 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
637 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
638 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
639 | |
---|
640 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
641 | |
---|
642 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
643 | |
---|
644 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
645 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
646 | |
---|
647 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
648 | |
---|
649 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
650 | |
---|
651 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
652 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
653 | |
---|
654 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
655 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
656 | be undercharged. |
---|
657 | |
---|
658 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
659 | |
---|
660 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
661 | |
---|
662 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
663 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
664 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
665 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
666 | |
---|
667 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
668 | |
---|
669 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
670 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
671 | |
---|
672 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
673 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
674 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
675 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
676 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
677 | version of Python. |
---|
678 | |
---|
679 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
680 | |
---|
681 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
682 | |
---|
683 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
684 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
685 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
686 | |
---|
687 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
688 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
689 | and PS. |
---|
690 | |
---|
691 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
692 | |
---|
693 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
694 | |
---|
695 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
696 | |
---|
697 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
698 | |
---|
699 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
700 | |
---|
701 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
702 | files are parsed. |
---|
703 | |
---|
704 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
705 | |
---|
706 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
707 | or version. |
---|
708 | |
---|
709 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
710 | |
---|
711 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
712 | |
---|
713 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
714 | cause problems. |
---|
715 | |
---|
716 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
717 | |
---|
718 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
719 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
720 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
721 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
722 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
723 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
724 | |
---|
725 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
726 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
727 | more easily readable. |
---|
728 | |
---|
729 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
730 | |
---|
731 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
732 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
733 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
734 | |
---|
735 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
736 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
737 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
738 | |
---|
739 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
740 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
741 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
742 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
743 | |
---|
744 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
745 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
746 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
747 | |
---|
748 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
749 | |
---|
750 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
751 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
752 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
753 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
754 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
755 | |
---|
756 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
757 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
758 | |
---|
759 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
760 | |
---|
761 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
762 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
763 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
764 | |
---|
765 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
766 | |
---|
767 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
768 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
769 | |
---|
770 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
771 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
772 | |
---|
773 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
774 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
775 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
776 | feature. |
---|
777 | |
---|
778 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
779 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
780 | for details. |
---|
781 | |
---|
782 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
783 | |
---|
784 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
785 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
786 | as time permits. |
---|
787 | |
---|
788 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
789 | |
---|
790 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
791 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
792 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
793 | job. |
---|
794 | |
---|
795 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
796 | |
---|
797 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
798 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
799 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
800 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
801 | in the near future. |
---|
802 | |
---|
803 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
804 | |
---|
805 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
806 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
807 | |
---|
808 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
809 | |
---|
810 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
811 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
812 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
813 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
814 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
815 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
816 | |
---|
817 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
818 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
819 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
820 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
821 | |
---|
822 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
823 | |
---|
824 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
825 | |
---|
826 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
827 | too. |
---|
828 | |
---|
829 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
830 | |
---|
831 | - 1.19alpha8 : |
---|
832 | |
---|
833 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
834 | |
---|
835 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
836 | |
---|
837 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
838 | |
---|
839 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
840 | |
---|
841 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
842 | |
---|
843 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
844 | |
---|
845 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
846 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
847 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
848 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
849 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
850 | |
---|
851 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
852 | |
---|
853 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
854 | |
---|
855 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
856 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
857 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
858 | PostScript. |
---|
859 | |
---|
860 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
861 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
862 | |
---|
863 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
864 | |
---|
865 | - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least) |
---|
866 | |
---|
867 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
868 | problems under heavy load. |
---|
869 | |
---|
870 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
871 | |
---|
872 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
873 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
874 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
875 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
876 | |
---|
877 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
878 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
879 | |
---|
880 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
881 | |
---|
882 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
883 | is now fixed. |
---|
884 | |
---|
885 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
886 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|

---|
1330 | |
---|
1331 | - 1.14 : |
---|
1332 | |
---|
1333 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
1334 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
1335 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
1336 | |
---|
1337 | - 1.14beta2 : |
---|
1338 | |
---|
1339 | - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail. |
---|
1340 | Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email |
---|
1341 | address for the user. See sample configuration file for |
---|
1342 | details. |
---|
1343 | |
---|
1344 | - 1.14beta : |
---|
1345 | |
---|
1346 | - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced, |
---|
1347 | newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add |
---|
1348 | quota information to existing entries or elsewhere. |
---|
1349 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1350 | |
---|
1351 | - 1.14alpha9 : |
---|
1352 | |
---|
1353 | - Documentation improved. |
---|
1354 | |
---|
1355 | - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value |
---|
1356 | if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his |
---|
1357 | limiting factor is "balance". |
---|
1358 | |
---|
1359 | - 1.14alpha8 : |
---|
1360 | |
---|
1361 | - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for |
---|
1362 | SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before |
---|
1363 | asking for their internal page counter. |
---|
1364 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1365 | |
---|
1366 | - 1.14alpha7 : |
---|
1367 | |
---|
1368 | - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above |
---|
1369 | quota. The check is only done at print time. This |
---|
1370 | prevents the sending of email messages when creating |
---|
1371 | user quotas if quota is already reached at creation |
---|
1372 | time. |
---|
1373 | |
---|
1374 | - 1.14alpha6 : |
---|
1375 | |
---|
1376 | - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf |
---|
1377 | and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to |
---|
1378 | have Read/Write access to the Quota Database. |
---|
1379 | Don't forget to : |
---|
1380 | |
---|
1381 | $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf |
---|
1382 | |
---|
1383 | - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced |
---|
1384 | for the same reason. |
---|
1385 | |
---|
1386 | - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses |
---|
1387 | support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends. |
---|
1388 | |
---|
1389 | - 1.14alpha5 : |
---|
1390 | |
---|
1391 | - Big bug fixed when changing the prices for a printer |
---|
1392 | |
---|
1393 | - 1.14alpha4 : |
---|
1394 | |
---|
1395 | - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance |
---|
1396 | are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added |
---|
1397 | as two different LDAP entries. |
---|
1398 | |
---|
1399 | - 1.14alpha3 : |
---|
1400 | |
---|
1401 | - Email field added to PostgreSQL database. An upgrade script |
---|
1402 | is included in initscripts/postgresql. |
---|
1403 | |
---|
1404 | - 1.14alpha2 : |
---|
1405 | |
---|
1406 | - Typo fixed when using the --prototype option to edpykota |
---|
1407 | |
---|
1408 | - 1.14alpha1 : |
---|
1409 | |
---|
1410 | - Poor man's treshold included : users with a low account |
---|
1411 | balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent |
---|
1412 | a warning message. |
---|
1413 | |
---|
1414 | - All warning messages to users are now configurable. |
---|
1415 | NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not. |
---|
1416 | |
---|
1417 | - 1.13 : |
---|
1418 | |
---|
1419 | - Some small fixes wrt group handling. |
---|
1420 | |
---|
1421 | - The whole module code was passed through PyChecker and |
---|
1422 | several small code inconsistencies were fixed, |
---|
1423 | as well as a bug in the groups code. |
---|
1424 | |
---|
1425 | - 1.13alpha1 : |
---|
1426 | |
---|
1427 | - Bug fix wrt LDAP. |
---|
1428 | |
---|
1429 | - 1.12 : |
---|
1430 | |
---|
1431 | - More complete test added in edpykota. |
---|
1432 | |
---|
1433 | - 1.12alpha2 : |
---|
1434 | |
---|
1435 | - The previous bug fix was incomplete. This is corrected. |
---|
1436 | |
---|
1437 | - 1.12alpha1 : |
---|
1438 | |
---|
1439 | - Small bug fix. |
---|
1440 | |
---|
1441 | - 1.11 : |
---|
1442 | |
---|
1443 | - Now includes the pykotme command line tool, to produce |
---|
1444 | printing quotes for users. |
---|
1445 | |
---|
1446 | - 1.10 : |
---|
1447 | |
---|
1448 | - Bug fixed wrt quota reports when print limiting is by |
---|
1449 | account balance. |
---|
1450 | |
---|
1451 | - 1.09 : |
---|
1452 | |
---|
1453 | - Translations finalized. |
---|
1454 | |
---|
1455 | - Manpages updated. |
---|
1456 | |
---|
1457 | - Installation documentation improved wrt LDAP support. |
---|
1458 | |
---|
1459 | - 1.09beta2 : |
---|
1460 | |
---|
1461 | - The CGI script for quota reports works again, and |
---|
1462 | is much more powerful. |
---|
1463 | |
---|
1464 | - 1.09beta : |
---|
1465 | |
---|
1466 | - edpykota finalized |
---|
1467 | |
---|
1468 | - 1.09alpha2 : |
---|
1469 | |
---|
1470 | - LDAP schema modified a bit. Please upgrade. |
---|
1471 | |
---|
1472 | - LDAP backend works ! |
---|
1473 | |
---|
1474 | - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass |
---|
1475 | users or groups names on the command line. Users |
---|
1476 | and groups names may contain wildcards. |
---|
1477 | |
---|
1478 | - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the |
---|
1479 | current user when launched by non-root users. |
---|
1480 | |
---|
1481 | - Minor bug fixes. |
---|
1482 | |
---|
1483 | - 1.09alpha1 : |
---|
1484 | |
---|
1485 | - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options |
---|
1486 | were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some |
---|
1487 | hints to the LDAP storage backend. |
---|
1488 | |
---|
1489 | - Severe database access optimizations were done by |
---|
1490 | rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers. |
---|
1491 | |
---|
1492 | - 1.08 : |
---|
1493 | |
---|
1494 | - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs. |
---|
1495 | |
---|
1496 | - Major bug fix wrt increase/decrease account balances. |
---|
1497 | |
---|
1498 | - 1.08alpha8 : |
---|
1499 | |
---|
1500 | - Code refactoring. |
---|
1501 | |
---|
1502 | - A single user/password pair is used to connect |
---|
1503 | to the database backend. The storageuser configuration |
---|
1504 | field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are |
---|
1505 | not used anymore. |
---|
1506 | |
---|
1507 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |
---|
1508 | file for details. |
---|
1509 | WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in |
---|
1510 | debug mode, for now. |
---|
1511 | |
---|
1512 | - 1.08alpha7 : |
---|
1513 | |
---|
1514 | - Very latest LDAP schema. |
---|
1515 | |
---|
1516 | - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes |
---|
1517 | and object classes into an existing LDAP directory. |
---|
1518 | |
---|
1519 | - 1.08alpha6 : |
---|
1520 | |
---|
1521 | - Minor bug corrections |
---|
1522 | |
---|
1523 | - More work on LDAP : new schema |
---|
1524 | |
---|
1525 | - 1.08alpha5 : |
---|
1526 | |
---|
1527 | - More good work on LDAP storage. |
---|
1528 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
1529 | |
---|
1530 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
1531 | |
---|
1532 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
1533 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
1534 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
1535 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
1536 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
1537 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
1538 | |
---|
1539 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
1540 | |
---|
1541 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
1542 | |
---|
1543 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
1544 | |
---|
1545 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
1546 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
1547 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
1548 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
1549 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
1550 | |
---|
1551 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
1552 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
1553 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
1554 | |
---|
1555 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
1556 | |
---|
1557 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
1558 | |
---|
1559 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
1560 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
1561 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
1562 | |
---|
1563 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
1564 | |
---|
1565 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
1566 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
1567 | |
---|
1568 | - 1.06 : |
---|
1569 | |
---|
1570 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
1571 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
1572 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
1573 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
1574 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
1575 | |
---|
1576 | - 1.05 : |
---|
1577 | |
---|
1578 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
1579 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
1580 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
1581 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
1582 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
1583 | learn how to do. |
---|
1584 | |
---|
1585 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
1586 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
1587 | sent to the printer. |
---|
1588 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
1589 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
1590 | the printer. |
---|
1591 | |
---|
1592 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
1593 | |
---|
1594 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
1595 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
1596 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
1597 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
1598 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1599 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
1600 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
1601 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
1602 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
1603 | |
---|
1604 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
1605 | |
---|
1606 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
1607 | |
---|
1608 | - Better error handling. |
---|
1609 | |
---|
1610 | - 1.05alpha1 : |
---|
1611 | |
---|
1612 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
1613 | |
---|
1614 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
1615 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
1616 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
1617 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
1618 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
1619 | |
---|
1620 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
1621 | |
---|
1622 | - 1.04 : |
---|
1623 | |
---|
1624 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
1625 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
1626 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
1627 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
1628 | |
---|
1629 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
1630 | |
---|
1631 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
1632 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
1633 | |
---|
1634 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
1635 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
1636 | |
---|
1637 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
1638 | |
---|
1639 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
1640 | |
---|
1641 | - 1.03 : |
---|
1642 | |
---|
1643 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
1644 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
1645 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
1646 | |
---|
1647 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
1648 | |
---|
1649 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
1650 | subdirectory. |
---|
1651 | |
---|
1652 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
1653 | |
---|
1654 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
1655 | |
---|
1656 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
1657 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
1658 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
1659 | |
---|
1660 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
1661 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
1662 | details. |
---|
1663 | |
---|
1664 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
1665 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
1666 | |
---|
1667 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
1668 | |
---|
1669 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
1670 | |
---|
1671 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
1672 | reports in the future. |
---|
1673 | |
---|
1674 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
1675 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
1676 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
1677 | |
---|
1678 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
1679 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
1680 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
1681 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
1682 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
1683 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
1684 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
1685 | in this case. |
---|
1686 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
1687 | off. |
---|
1688 | |
---|
1689 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
1690 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
1691 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
1692 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
1693 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
1694 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
1695 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
1696 | |
---|
1697 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |
---|
1698 | had a quota on the specified printer. |
---|
1699 | |
---|
1700 | - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary |
---|
1701 | 1.03 versions, and fixed later on. |
---|
1702 | |
---|
1703 | - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed. |
---|
1704 | |
---|
1705 | - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration |
---|
1706 | file for details. |
---|
1707 | |
---|
1708 | - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by |
---|
1709 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
1710 | |
---|
1711 | - 1.02 : |
---|
1712 | |
---|
1713 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
1714 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
1715 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
1716 | |
---|
1717 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
1718 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
1719 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
1720 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
1721 | if needed. |
---|
1722 | |
---|
1723 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
1724 | |
---|
1725 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
---|
1726 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1727 | |
---|
1728 | - Better general error handling. |
---|
1729 | |
---|
1730 | - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now |
---|
1731 | included as well. |
---|
1732 | |
---|
1733 | - 1.01 : |
---|
1734 | |
---|
1735 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
---|
1736 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
1737 | |
---|
1738 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
1739 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
1740 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
1741 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
1742 | |
---|
1743 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
1744 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
1745 | for details. |
---|
1746 | |
---|
1747 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
1748 | add this information to this file. |
---|
