| 16 | PyKota NEWS : |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | - 1.02alpha : |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
|---|
| 21 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
|---|
| 22 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
|---|
| 25 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
|---|
| 26 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
|---|
| 27 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
|---|
| 28 | if needed. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | - Improved documentation. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage |
|---|
| 33 | Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | - Better general error handling. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | - 1.01 : |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | - The configuration file now accepts an option |
|---|
| 40 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
|---|
| 43 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
|---|
| 44 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
|---|
| 45 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
|---|
| 48 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
|---|
| 49 | for details. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
|---|
| 52 | add this information to this file. |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | - Redistribution terms for the official package have |
|---|
| 55 | softened and are now fully GPL compatible : |
|---|
| 56 | unrestricted modification is now allowed even for |
|---|
| 57 | the version number. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | - 1.00 : |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
|---|
| 62 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
|---|
| 63 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
|---|
| 64 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
|---|
| 65 | to know how much pages they print. |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
|---|
| 68 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | - Every directory now has a specific README file. |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | - 0.99 : |
|---|
| 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
|---|
| 75 | to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is |
|---|
| 76 | now fixed. |
|---|
| 77 | |
|---|
| 78 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
|---|
| 79 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | - 0.98 : |
|---|
| 82 | |
|---|
| 83 | - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off. |
|---|
| 84 | |
|---|
| 85 | - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. |
|---|
| 86 | |
|---|
| 87 | - 0.97 : |
|---|
| 88 | |
|---|
| 89 | - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too |
|---|
| 90 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
|---|
| 91 | |
|---|
| 92 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
|---|
| 93 | |
|---|
| 94 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
|---|
| 95 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
|---|
| 96 | |
|---|
| 97 | - Small bug fixes. |
|---|
| 98 | |
|---|
| 99 | - 0.96 : |
|---|
| 100 | |
|---|
| 101 | - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now |
|---|
| 102 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
|---|
| 103 | priority if both are defined. |
|---|
| 104 | |
|---|
| 105 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
|---|
| 106 | |
|---|
| 107 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
|---|
| 108 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
|---|
| 109 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
|---|
| 110 | |
|---|
| 111 | - 0.95 : |
|---|
| 112 | |
|---|
| 113 | - External requesters for printers finally added. |
