22PyKota NEWS :
23
24    - 1.21alpha12 :
25   
26        - Fixed a bug with non standard pkbanner command lines.
27       
28        - Now logs as errors the differences between precomputed and
29          computed job sizes. **CUPS only for now**
30         
31    - 1.21alpha11 :
32   
33        - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly
34          below the user or group with the LDAP backend, using them
35          as branches. Thanks to Stefan Wold for the patch.
36          See the sample configuration file for details.
37         
38        - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan
39          Wold for the patch.
40          See the sample configuration file for details.
41         
42        - edpkota now accepts the -U | --used value command line argument
43          to preset the page counters to an initial value. Thanks to
44          Wilson Roberto Afonso and Matt Hyclak for the patch.

49          returned an error, possibly due to a timeout.
50         
51    - 1.21alpha9 :
52   
53        - Now searches the configuration files in 'pykota' system user's
54          home directory. The 'pykota' system user and group have

92          in pykota.conf
93          Thanks to Matt Hyclak for the patch.
94         
95    - 1.21alpha2 :
96   
97        - Installation script is now non interactive again, as it should

100         
101    - 1.21alpha1 :
102   
103        - added an IPP messages miniparser. Extraction of the client
104          hostname is now considered to be fiable, at least until

115        - German translation was finalized.
116       
117        - Greek translation was finalized.
118       
119        - For urgent legal reasons, a "privacy" directive has been added
120          to pykota.conf, to hide jobs' title, filename and options
121          in the history.
122         
123        - Minor changes in the debian directory.
124       
125    - 1.20alpha27 :
126   
127        - Fixed many problems with translation files. In particular
128          the brasilian portuguese translation file was incorrectly
129          installed into the french "breton" locale directory.
130         
131        - Finished French translation. 
132         
133    - 1.20alpha26 :
134

140        - Fix for incorrect locale setting when starting.
141       
142    - 1.20alpha25 :
143   
144        - pkprinters allows --list to normal users, but require user
145          to be a PyKota administrator when another command line
146          option is used.
147         
148        - pkhint doesn't use absolute path to search for helper commands
149          anymore.
150         
151        - Spanish translation ready for 1.20.   
152       
153    - 1.20alpha24 :
154   
155        - Now warnpykota only warns users limited by balance once.
156       
157        - Now warnpykota only warns users who have ever printed,
158          to not cause confusion to users who have just opened
159          their account.
160       
161        - Prepared help messages for translations.
162       
163    - 1.20alpha23 :
164   
165        - Add workaround for locale problem.
166

175    - 1.20alpha21 :
176   
177        - Now dumpykota refuses to launch if the current user is not
178          a PyKota administrator (a PyKota administrator is an user
179          allowed to read the pykotadmin.conf file).
180         
181        - Now any PyKota administrator can use repykota and warnpykota
182          with additionnal arguments, not only the root user.
183         
184        - Improved documentation a bit.
185       
186    - 1.20alpha20 :
187   
188        - Reduced delay in internal SNMP and PJL_over_TCP handlers
189          from 2 to 1 second.

196       
197        - Finished implementation of LDAP support in dumpykota.
198       
199        - The md5 sum of the job's datas is now available as an
200          hexadecimal digest in the PYKOTAMD5SUM environment variable.
201         
202        - The description, filename, title, and options fields
203          are now stored as UTF-8 strings in both LDAP and PostgreSQL.
204          Proper charset is used during extraction from the database.
205         
206    - 1.20alpha18 :
207   
208        - Experimental autopykota command to initialize user
209          account and quota entries on first print while not
210          resetting the balance value if not needed.
211         
212        - Added the new "winbind_separator" directive to strip
213          out the Samba/Winbind domain name while printing if
214          needed (Off by default).
215         
216    - 1.20alpha17 :
217   
218        - Added --hardreset command line option to edpykota.
219       
220        - Fixed problem with accented chars in title, filename

222         
223    - 1.20alpha16 :
224   
225        - Internal handling of socket based PJL queries over
226          port tcp/9100 is now available with the magic
227          'pjl' value in the hardware accounter.
228         
229    - 1.20alpha15 :
230   
231        - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created
232          attached to the pykotaUser objects. This is now
233          fixed and the value of balancebase in pykota.conf
234          is now correctly used.
235         
236    - 1.20alpha14 :
237   
238        - Belgian translations added (copy of the french ones).
239       
240        - External hardware accounter now loops until
241          a result can be read correctly.
242         
243        - pkhint now suggest the internal snmp handling instead
244          of the external one.
245         
246    - 1.20alpha13 :
247     
248        - Hardware accounter now accepts the special
249          'snmp' value, meaning ALL is done from main code
250          without launching any subprocess.
251          You need the http://pysnmp.sf.net Python module
252          for this to work (tested with v3.4.2)
253         
254        - Increased delay between two loops iterations 
255          to 2 seconds in waitprinter.sh to diminish
256          CPU load.
257         
258    - 1.20alpha12 :
259   
260        - waitprinter.sh rewritten from scratch to wait
261          for printer status stabilization.
262       
263    - 1.20alpha11 :
264   
265        - Generic data dumper 'dumpykota' introduced.
266          Works only with PostgreSQL backend for now.
267         
268    - 1.20alpha10 :
269   
270        - Added fix for incorrect job's size computation when
271          hardware accounting fails.
272         
273    - 1.20alpha9 :
274   
275        - Small fixes wrt subprocesses.
276       
277    - 1.20alpha8 :
278   
279        - Added full support of PCL3 : HP Deskjet printers are now
280          supported.
281       
282    - 1.20alpha7 :
283   
284        - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer.
285          Needs more work, but no documentation is available.
286       
287    - 1.20alpha6 :
288     
289        - Improved mailandpopup.sh script.
290       
291        - Small fixes for LPRng.
292       
293        - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers'
294          hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not
295          meaningful.
296         
297        - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules
298          fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable.
299         
300        - Fixed a bug in LDAP user deletion code.
301       
302    - 1.20alpha5 :
303     
304        - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror'
305          to specify what must be done whenever the software or
306          hardware accounter fails. Allowed values are 'continue' and
307          'stop' (default).
308         
309        - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced
310          problem.
311         
312    - 1.20alpha4 :
313   
314        - Added support for more ghostscript devices in ESC/P2
315          analyzer : stcolor, st800, escp, escpc are now supported.
316         
317    - 1.20alpha3 :
318       
319        - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being
320          fooled by a change in number of copies :
321          The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy
322          of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore :
323          this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but
324          now the maximum value seen is used.
325         
326        - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange
327          printer drivers.
328         
329        - Now hardware accounting method works like software
330          accounting method wrt the subprocess' output.
331         
332        - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue 
333          when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will
334          be configurable in the near future.
335         
336    - 1.20alpha2 :
337   
338        - Now software accounting method reads accounter's
339          answer until a line with a single integer is
340          obtained or until all of its output has been read.
341          This should fix the problem some people have
342          when strange locale related messages are sent
343          when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?).
344         
345        - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work
346          ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid'
347          and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more
348          work to correctly analyze other devices.
349       
350    - 1.20alpha1 :
351   
352        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCLXL parser.
353       
354        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser,
355          when number of copies was set outside of and before first
356          page.
357       
358        - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in
359          PostScript code.
360         
361        - Added german translation.
362       
363        - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when
364          "enforcement: strict" is used.
365       
366        - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation.
367       
368    - 1.19 :
369   
370        - Updated existing translations.   
371       
372        - Added final Thai and Greek translations.
373       
374        - Minor last minute bug fixes.
375       
376    - 1.19beta :
377   
378        - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems
379          to be OK.
380         
381        - Translation files fixed because of fuzzy matching problem. 
382       
383        - Fixed path to Swedish translation: 'sv' instead of 'se'.
384       
385        - Added first draft of Thai translation.
386       
387        - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker.
388       
389    - 1.19alpha35 :
390   
391        - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents
392          in addition to DSC compliant ones.
393       
394    - 1.19alpha34 :
395   
396        - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine,
397          but hardware accounting doesn't work yet.
398   
399    - 1.19alpha33 :
400   
401        - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy !
402          NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8
403          or higher if you don't use the default C locale.
404         
405    - 1.19alpha32 :
406   
407        - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite.
408       
409        - Saner default configuration file.
410       
411    - 1.19alpha31 :
412   
413        - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions,
414          which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with
415          this older version of Python.
416         
417    - 1.19alpha30 :
418   
419        - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command
420       
421        - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain
422          ANY character, expected '/' and '@'.
423       
424        - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio
425          Gonz�z Gonz�z
426         
427    - 1.19alpha29 :
428   
429        - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of
430          copies set for each page.
431         
432        - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer.
433       
434        - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser.
435       
436        - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the
437          situation : tools which can be run interactively will
438          ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for
439          their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:"
440          directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored.
441          Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS
442          honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf
443         
444    - 1.19alpha28 :
445   
446        - The description field for printers can now be set,
447          and is displayed in reports.
448         
449        - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code.
450         
451        - Improved pkhint
452       
453        - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser !
454          Doesn't handle copies yet.
455       
456    - 1.19alpha27 :
457   
458        - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript
459          generated files (untested yet with other PCL files).
460         
461        - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups
462          PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times.
463          This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase
464          in performance for PCL5 parsing !
465         
466        - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available
467          in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by
468          almost three times automagically.
469         
470    - 1.19alpha26 :
471   
472        - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp.
473       
474        - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number
475          of copies could vary from page to page.
476         
477        - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. 
478       
479    - 1.19alpha25 :
480   
481        - Added new "description" field to printers in both
482          PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet.
483         
484        - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : 
485          no paper or tray open would have caused people to
486          be undercharged.
487         
488        - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script.
489         
490    - 1.19alpha24 :
491   
492        - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with
493          Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before.
494          GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS,
495          because PDF is parsed directly.
496         
497    - 1.19alpha23 :
498   
499        - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some
500          printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez.
501       
502        - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two
503          PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which
504          is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and
505          a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects
506          automatically which method to use depending on your
507          version of Python.
508       
509        - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number.
510         
511    - 1.19alpha22 :
512   
513        - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is
514          reset to the start of the job's datas after the
515          job's size pre-computation phase.
516         
517        - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers
518          which don't correctly switch languages between PJL
519          and PS.
520       
521        - Even better debugging code.
522       
523    - 1.19alpha21 :
524   
525        - Additionnal check.
526       
527    - 1.19alpha20 :
528   
529        - More complete logging messages wrt accounters.
530       
531        - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration
532          files are parsed.
533       
534    - 1.19alpha19 :
535   
536        - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help
537          or version.
538         
539        - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts 
540       
541        - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history.
542       
543        - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to
544          cause problems.
545
546    - 1.19alpha18 :
547   
548        - History of payments is now stored in the database, and
549          updated each time an user's balance is modified with
550          edpykota --balance. This history represents each time
551          the user was given some positive or negative credit,
552          but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear
553          in the jobs history instead.
554         
555        - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in
556          bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report
557          more easily readable.
558         
559    - 1.19alpha17 :
560   
561        - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving
562          any log message) which occured once in a while when
563          cancelling jobs should be fixed now.
564         
565        - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by 
566          default. See sample configuration file to see how
567          to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it.
568         
569        - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, 
570          which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs
571          are now denied. This value is now stored in the job
572          history (but not yet displayed from the web interface)
573         
574        - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL 
575          and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written
576          yet to support this functionnality.
577         
578    - 1.19alpha16 :
579   
580        - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept
581          a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry
582          is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used,
583          then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn"
584          is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged.
585         
586        - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database,
587          and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment.
588       
589    - 1.19alpha15 :
590   
591        - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that
592          currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but
593          LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future.
594         
595    - 1.19alpha14 :
596   
597        - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE
598          are now exported as environment variables.
599         
600        - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by
601          introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do.
602         
603        - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only
604          done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves
605          CPU for people who don't want to use this new
606          feature.
607         
608        - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either
609          STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file
610          for details.
611         
612    - 1.19alpha13 :
613   
614        - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which
615          worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized
616          as time permits.
617         
618    - 1.19alpha12 :
619   
620        - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using
621          the generic PDL analyzer.
622          NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the
623          job.
624       
625    - 1.19alpha11 :
626   
627        - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and
628          can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download
629          an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use
630          cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come
631          in the near future.
632         
633    - 1.19alpha10 :
634   
635        - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead
636          of spawning a new process.
637         
638        - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer.
639       
640        - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version
641          will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven
642          parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then,
643          the original algorithm is still used for now.
644          Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the
645          expense of severe memory consumption.
646       
647        - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's
648          'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester"
649          directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not
650          supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details.
651       
652    - 1.19alpha9 :
653       
654        - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class
655       
656        - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters
657          too.
658         
659        - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite
660       
661    - 1.19alpha8 :
662   
663        - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware'
664       
665        - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software'
666       
667        - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore
668       
669        - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore
670       
671        - code simplifications in external requester
672       
673    - 1.19alpha7 :
674     
675        - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to
676          allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute.
677          An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet
678          capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support
679          for this functionnality will be added in the future.
680         
681    - 1.19alpha6 :
682   
683        - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched.
684       
685        - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the
686          job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6)
687          support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to
688          PostScript.
689         
690        - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. 
691          It is currently disabled until it's finished.
692         
693    - 1.19alpha5 :
694   
695        - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least)
696       
697        - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing
698          problems under heavy load.
699         
700        - pkpgcounter enhancements.
701       
702        - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not
703          modify existing printers when --add is used.
704          pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is
705          used and a printer already exists.
706         
707        - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName
708          and pykotaTitle attributes.
709       
710    - 1.19alpha4 :
711   
712        - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this
713          is now fixed.
714         
715        - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of
716          HP PCL/PJL Reference Set
717          PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide
718       
719        - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration
720          is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for
721          testing.
722         
723    - 1.19alpha3 :
724   
725        - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument
726          to list informations about printers.
727         
728    - 1.19alpha2 :
729   
730        - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external
731          accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL.
732         
733    - 1.19alpha1 :
734   
735        - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too.
736       
737        - Inclusion of Michele Baldessari's work on autotools.
738       
739    - 1.18 :
740   
741        - Improved documentation
742       
743    - 1.18beta2 :
744     
745        - Fix for raw jobs with cupspykota
746       
747    - 1.18beta :
748   
749        - Small fix for new waitprinter.sh script
750       
751        - Better tracebacks on error conditions
752       
753        - Improved translations
754       
755        - Improved documentation
756       
757    - 1.18alpha15 :
758
759        - waitprinter.sh replaced by a new and possibly faster
760          and more powerful one.
761   
762        - Names can now begin with a digit.
763       
764        - Stability improvement for quotas set on printers groups.
765       
766    - 1.18alpha14 :
767   
768        - Catches more (all ?) problems with SMTP servers instead
769          of breaking.
770         
771        - Italian translation added.
772       
773    - 1.18alpha13 :
774   
775        - Pre and Post hooks are now available in the pykota
776          filter as well.
777         
778        - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota
779          anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used :
780          this will be done anyway the next time the last
781          user will print again. This saves some database
782          queries which are unneeded.
783       
784    - 1.18alpha12 :
785   
786        - Pre and Post hooks to external commands with many
787          many environment variables available are useable
788          from the cupspykota backend.
789          See sample configuration file for details and help.
790         
791    - 1.18alpha11 :
792   
793        - Hopefully final fix wrt groups (users and printers)
794       
795    - 1.18alpha10 :
796   
797        - Fixed nested printer groups accounting.
798       
799        - Fixed user groups + printer groups problem.
800       
801    - 1.18alpha9 :
802   
803        - Fix for LDAP problem when job price was 0.
804       
805        - Fix for empty user groups with LDAP.
806       
807        - Preliminary version of the snmpprinterstatus command added.
808       
809    - 1.18alpha8 :
810   
811        - Don't retrieve data when not needed.
812          This avoids many database queries.
813       
814    - 1.18alpha7 :
815   
816        - New experimental ldapcache directive to improve
817          LDAP caching.
818         
819    - 1.18alpha6 :
820       
821        - New configuration directive added : maildomain
822          to specify the domain to send mail to when user
823          email address is not set in PyKota database.
824         
825        - More complete email message headers. 
826         
827    - 1.18alpha5 :
828   
829        - Debian packaging specific files, contributed by
830          Peter Hawkins are now included in the project's tree.
831         
832        - Preliminary work on future low-level LDAP caching to speed
833          up modifications (at least).
834         
835    - 1.18alpha4 :
836   
837        - Applied some of the modifications suggested by
838          Peter Hawkins, for better Debian integration.
839          Most notably cupspykota, pykota, and the shell
840          scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota
841          instead of into /usr/bin
842          BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link
843          to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf
844          file use correct path for the shell scripts like
845          waitprinter.sh and al.
846         
847        - pkhint command added, to help in configuring correct
848          accounting method for PyKota.
849         
850    - 1.18alpha3 :
851   
852        - Fixed a rare bug in cupspykota backend which gave
853          incorrect "CUPS backend died abnormally" messages.

880        - Preliminary documentation on how to use OpenOffice.org
881          to create personnalized reports for PyKota + PostgreSQL.
882         
883        - Spanish installation guide for CUPS+PyKota+PostgreSQL
884          added to the documentation. Doesn't yet document v1.16
885          though.
886       
887        - Portuguese Portuguese translation replaces Brasilian
888          Portuguese Translation. Brasilian portuguese
889          translation is still available under the 'br' locale.
890       
891    - 1.16beta3 :
892   
893        - Swedish translation added.

900          printing in CUPS backend.
901         
902        - Big fix wrt printing policies for unknown users. 
903       
904    - 1.16beta1 :
905   
906        - Manpages upgraded.
907       
908    - 1.16alpha26 :
909   
910        - Job price is now computed like this :
911       
912          SUM((NbPages * PricePerPage) + PricePerJob)
913         
914          For current printer and all the printers groups it is
915          a member of, if any.
916         
917          This may be difficult to grasp, but offers unprecedented
918          flexibility.
919         
920    - 1.16alpha25 :
921   
922        - Email address can be set at user creation time,
923          using the following syntax :
924         
925            $ edpykota --add username/email@yourdomain.com
926       
927    - 1.16alpha24 :
928   
929        - CGI script now can show the printing history.
930       
931        - Bug wrt number of copies should be fixed.
932       
933        - Major code refactoring => It is now possible to
934          automatically add printers on first print.
935       
936    - 1.16alpha23 :
937   
938        - Fixed potential accuracy problem if a user printed on
939          several printers at the very same time.
940

946   
947        - Allows the dot in user and printer names.
948       
949        - Printer groups are now cached too.
950       
951    - 1.16alpha20 :
952   
953        - Fixed several small bugs with the help of PyChecker.
954       
955    - 1.16alpha19 :
956     
957        - Fixed a bug in PostgreSQL backend's code.
958       
959    - 1.16alpha18 :
960   
961        - Initial code for printer groups support. Printer groups have
962          to be added with external tools like psql or gq for example.
963          Printer groups seems to work fine with users. Untested with user
964          groups for now.
965
966        - Several minor visual problems fixed in reports.
967       
968        - Fixed a bug in LDAP date handling.
969       
970        - Fix for LDAP problem with some combination of OpenLDAP + Python-LDAP
971          + some particular settings.
972         
973        - mailandpopup.sh shell script added. See sample configuration file
974          for details.
975       
976        - Several environment variables are now exported when executing
977          external commands (accounters, requesters, mailers) :
978           
979            PYKOTAUSERNAME => user who is printing
980            PYKOTAPRINTERNAME => printer on which the job is being sent
981            PYKOTATITLE => Job's title
982            PYKOTAFILENAME => Job's filename
983            PYKOTACOPIES => number of copies asked
984            PYKOTAOPTIONS => print command options (-o with CUPS)
985         
986    - 1.16alpha17 :
987   
988        - Added portugues translation.
989

998          to lowercase during printing.
999         
1000    - 1.15alpha15 :
1001   
1002        - Now includes the papwaitprinter.sh shell script to wait for
1003          AppleTalk enabled printers.
1004         
1005    - 1.16alpha14 :
1006   
1007        - Now printing on a printer not defined in the Quota Storage,
1008          results in the job being cancelled or stopped, depending
1009          on the printing system.
1010         
1011    - 1.16alpha13 :
1012   
1013        - Small bugfix wrt Python v2.1
1014       
1015        - If username is an empty string, user root is assumed.
1016       
1017        - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend,
1018          you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to
1019          be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions,
1020          this is not the case anymore.
1021         
1022    - 1.16alpha12 :
1023   
1024        - Job price added to job history, to keep accounting correct
1025          if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the
1026          history is not reset : the history would have given a false
1027          amount of money charged before the printer's prices were
1028          modified, this addition solves the problem.
1029         
1030    - 1.16alpha11 :
1031   
1032        - Some preliminary modifications to the database structure for
1033          PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP. A script to upgrade a PostgreSQL
1034          database is now provided. LDAP attributes now support
1035          eq, pres and sub indexes.
1036         
1037        - Job history now contains additional informations : 
1038          number of copies, filename, title and print options.
1039         
1040    - 1.16alpha10 :
1041       
1042        - Some modifications done to external policy handling.
1043          See sample configuration file for details.
1044   
1045        - Spanish translation added.
1046       
1047    - 1.16alpha9 :
1048   
1049        - mailto can be set to external(...) to warn users above
1050          quota with any command of your choice (e.g. linpopup).
1051          Several parameters are available, see sample configuration
1052          file for details.
1053         
1054    - 1.16alpha8 :
1055   
1056        - Now cupspykota transmits SIGTERMS to the original 
1057          backend when the user deletes a job being processed.
1058         
1059        - The documentation is now licensed under the terms of the
1060          GNU GPL too.
1061         
1062    - 1.16alpha7 :
1063   
1064        - The CUPS backend is now fully functionnal (it seems).
1065       
1066        - From now on, the use of the pykota filter with CUPS
1067          is deprecated. The pykota filter still has to be
1068          used with LPRng though.
1069       
1070    - 1.16alpha6 :
1071   
1072        - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer
1073          with no user or group name, a bad user/group name "*" was
1074          added to the database.
1075         
1076    - 1.16alpha5 :
1077   
1078        - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration !
1079          This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to
1080          be done. All can now be done from CUPS web interface.
1081       
1082    - 1.16alpha4 :
1083   
1084        - New CUPS backend added.
1085       
1086    - 1.16alpha3 :
1087       
1088        - Minimal FAQ document added.
1089       
1090    - 1.16alpha2 :
1091   
1092        - CGI script now partially supports browser's language preference
1093       
1094    - 1.16alpha1 :
1095   
1096        - Ensures that the LDAP connection is really closed at end.
1097       
1098        - More complete error messages in case of LDAP operation failure.
1099       
1100    - 1.15 :
1101     
1102        - Documentation improved.
1103       
1104    - 1.15beta :
1105   
1106        - Command line tools now accept multiple printer
1107          names or wildcards, separated with commas.
1108         
1109    - 1.15alpha9 :
1110   
1111        - External policy can be used to auto-add unknown users
1112          and any other interesting things you may want to do.
1113          WARNING : You can't auto-add printers for now.
1114          They have to be created manually before.
1115          Look at sample configuration file for examples.
1116         
1117    - 1.15alpha8 :
1118   
1119        - Job history can be disabled if needed.
1120          This feature may be useful for people who use the LDAP
1121          backend and don't want their LDAP tree to grow out of
1122          control.
1123       
1124    - 1.15alpha7 :
1125   
1126        - More work done on caching wrt groups.
1127       
1128    - 1.15alpha6 :
1129   
1130        - Performance bottleneck with LDAP solved.
1131       
1132    - 1.15alpha5 :
1133   
1134        - Caching mechanism for all database queries.
1135
1136    - 1.15alpha4 :
1137   
1138        - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive
1139          modification.
1140         
1141    - 1.15alpha3 :
1142   
1143        - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the
1144          REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows
1145          people to protect its use with .htaccess files.
1146          When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then
1147          unrestricted access is granted.
1148          NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server
1149          (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed.
1150         
1151    - 1.15alpha2 :
1152   
1153        - Better detection of LPRng.
1154       
1155        - Outputs a warning if printing system is unknown.
1156       
1157    - 1.15alpha1 :
1158   
1159        - Bug fix in SQL code.
1160       
1161    - 1.14 :
1162   
1163        - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before
1164          exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer
1165          from the problem anyway, AFAICT.
1166       
1167    - 1.14beta2 :
1168   
1169        - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail.
1170          Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email
1171          address for the user. See sample configuration file for
1172          details.
1173       
1174    - 1.14beta :
1175   
1176        - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced,
1177          newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add
1178          quota information to existing entries or elsewhere.
1179          See sample configuration file for details.
1180         
1181    - 1.14alpha9 :
1182   
1183        - Documentation improved.
1184       
1185        - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value
1186          if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his
1187          limiting factor is "balance".
1188         
1189    - 1.14alpha8 :
1190   
1191        - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for
1192          SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before
1193          asking for their internal page counter.
1194          See sample configuration file for details.
1195         
1196    - 1.14alpha7 :
1197   
1198        - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above
1199          quota. The check is only done at print time. This
1200          prevents the sending of email messages when creating
1201          user quotas if quota is already reached at creation
1202          time.
1203         
1204    - 1.14alpha6 :
1205   
1206        - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf
1207          and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to
1208          have Read/Write access to the Quota Database.
1209          Don't forget to :
1210         
1211                $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf
1212               
1213        - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced
1214          for the same reason.
1215         
1216        - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses
1217          support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends.
1218         
1219    - 1.14alpha5 :
1220       
1221        - Big bug fixed when changing the prices for a printer
1222       
1223    - 1.14alpha4 :
1224   
1225        - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance
1226          are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added
1227          as two different LDAP entries.
1228         
1229    - 1.14alpha3 :
1230   
1231        - Email field added to PostgreSQL database. An upgrade script
1232          is included in initscripts/postgresql.
1233       
1234    - 1.14alpha2 :
1235   
1236        - Typo fixed when using the --prototype option to edpykota
1237       
1238    - 1.14alpha1 :
1239   
1240        - Poor man's treshold included : users with a low account
1241          balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent
1242          a warning message.
1243         
1244        - All warning messages to users are now configurable. 
1245          NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not.
1246       
1247    - 1.13 :
1248   
1249        - Some small fixes wrt group handling.
1250       
1251        - The whole module code was passed through PyChecker and
1252          several small code inconsistencies were fixed,
1253          as well as a bug in the groups code.
1254         
1255    - 1.13alpha1 :
1256   
1257        - Bug fix wrt LDAP.
1258       
1259    - 1.12 :
1260   
1261        - More complete test added in edpykota.
1262       
1263    - 1.12alpha2 :
1264   
1265        - The previous bug fix was incomplete. This is corrected.
1266       
1267    - 1.12alpha1 :
1268   
1269        - Small bug fix.
1270

1272   
1273        - Now includes the pykotme command line tool, to produce
1274          printing quotes for users.
1275         
1276    - 1.10 :
1277   
1278        - Bug fixed wrt quota reports when print limiting is by
1279          account balance.
1280         
1281    - 1.09 :
1282   
1283        - Translations finalized.
1284       
1285        - Manpages updated.
1286       
1287        - Installation documentation improved wrt LDAP support.
1288       
1289    - 1.09beta2 :
1290   
1291        - The CGI script for quota reports works again, and
1292          is much more powerful.
1293       
1294    - 1.09beta :
1295   
1296        - edpykota finalized
1297       
1298    - 1.09alpha2 :
1299   
1300        - LDAP schema modified a bit. Please upgrade.
1301       
1302        - LDAP backend works !
1303       
1304        - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass
1305          users or groups names on the command line. Users
1306          and groups names may contain wildcards.
1307         
1308        - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the
1309          current user when launched by non-root users.
1310         
1311        - Minor bug fixes. 
1312   
1313    - 1.09alpha1 :
1314   
1315        - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options
1316          were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some
1317          hints to the LDAP storage backend.
1318         
1319        - Severe database access optimizations were done by
1320          rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers.
1321     
1322    - 1.08 :
1323   
1324        - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs.
1325       
1326        - Major bug fix wrt increase/decrease account balances.
1327       
1328    - 1.08alpha8 :
1329   
1330        - Code refactoring.
1331       
1332        - A single user/password pair is used to connect
1333          to the database backend. The storageuser configuration
1334          field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are
1335          not used anymore.
1336         
1337        - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration 
1338          file for details.
1339          WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in
1340          debug mode, for now.
1341       
1342    - 1.08alpha7 :
1343   
1344        - Very latest LDAP schema.
1345       
1346        - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes
1347          and object classes into an existing LDAP directory.
1348       
1349    - 1.08alpha6 :
1350   
1351        - Minor bug corrections
1352       
1353        - More work on LDAP : new schema
1354       
1355    - 1.08alpha5 :
1356   
1357        - More good work on LDAP storage.
1358          repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory.
1359       
1360    - 1.08alpha4 :
1361   
1362        - LDAP schema included.
1363          THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS.
1364          LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA
1365          MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US
1366          WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE
1367          MAILING LIST.
1368         
1369    - 1.08alpha3 :
1370   
1371        - External accounting methods were partly rewritten :
1372         
1373          - No more "broken pipe" should happen.
1374         
1375          - They now take care of the number of copies
1376            This may be unneeded though, if the postscript
1377            file already does this, because this would
1378            overcharge users (number of copies counted
1379            two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING.
1380           
1381          - The sample configuration file now contains 
1382            an external accounting method example which should
1383            work with all DSC compliant Postscript files.
1384           
1385        - Some small bugs were fixed.   
1386       
1387    - 1.08alpha2 :
1388   
1389        - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above.
1390          It already worked, but the sample configuration
1391          file didn't contain appropriate values...
1392       
1393    - 1.07 : Release of the Shame !
1394   
1395        - The external accounting methods driver was left out of
1396          the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included !
1397         
1398    - 1.06 :
1399   
1400        - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in
1401          power saving state which couldn't answer immediately,
1402          a bug was triggered.
1403          It was caused by a bad copy/paste which
1404          forgot to import a Python module at run time.
1405         
1406    - 1.05 :
1407   
1408        - External accounters are finally available !
1409          This means that you can plug any page accounting
1410          method you like by setting the appropriate
1411          'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf
1412          See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to
1413          learn how to do.
1414         
1415          NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods
1416               account a job size just before *this* job is
1417               sent to the printer.
1418               The original 'querying' method accounts a job
1419               size just before *the next* job is sent to
1420               the printer.
1421       
1422    - 1.05alpha3 :
1423   
1424        - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was
1425          implemented to serve as an example on how to
1426          do this sort of things. This method only counts
1427          the 'showpage' statements in the input data.
1428          See sample configuration file for details.
1429          Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise
1430          you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.
1431          It is not reliable enough to be used.
1432          Use the 'querying' accounting method instead.
1433         
1434    - 1.05alpha2 :
1435   
1436        - Pluggable accounting methods.
1437       
1438        - Better error handling.
1439       
1440    - 1.05alpha1 :
1441   
1442        - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security.
1443       
1444        - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now
1445          tried several times, waiting several seconds between
1446          two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers
1447          which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple
1448          LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too)
1449         
1450        - Small display bug fixed in repykota
1451         
1452    - 1.04 :
1453   
1454        - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from
1455          the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW,
1456          since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results
1457          (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons)
1458         
1459        - LPRng support works !
1460       
1461        - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default
1462          policy for unknown users. It is now corrected.
1463       
1464        - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each
1465          printer, if they are defined.
1466         
1467        - Minor display bug fixed in repykota.
1468       
1469        - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed.
1470       
1471    - 1.03 :
1472   
1473        - Upgrade script included for earlier versions.
1474          Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory.
1475          THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE.
1476         
1477        - repykota now reports account balances too.
1478       
1479        - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos
1480          subdirectory.
1481       
1482        - Manual pages were finally updated.
1483       
1484        - Group quotas seem to work now !
1485       
1486        - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all
1487          jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job,
1488          and track users' account balance.
1489         
1490        - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to 
1491          use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for
1492          details.
1493         
1494        - The installation script now allows to install the sample
1495          configuration file during first installation.
1496         
1497        - More group quota code works, but still not finished. 
1498       
1499        - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website.
1500       
1501        - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period
1502          reports in the future.
1503         
1504        - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota,
1505          a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about
1506          a quota which is too low to print.
1507         
1508        - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal
1509          page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so
1510          if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter
1511          may be lower than the real number of pages printed.
1512          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
1513          We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to
1514          abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2))
1515          in this case.
1516          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
1517          off.
1518         
1519        - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile 
1520          page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on)
1521          This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet
1522          4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing.
1523          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
1524          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
1525          off. This is untested, please report any problem.
1526         
1527        - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already
1528          had a quota on the specified printer.
1529         
1530        - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary
1531          1.03 versions, and fixed later on.
1532         
1533        - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed.
1534       
1535        - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration
1536          file for details.
1537         
1538        - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by 
1539          print quota or by account balance.
1540       
1541    - 1.02 :
1542   
1543        - The installation script now checks for software availability
1544          and in case a software is missing asks the user if he
1545          wants to continue with the installation or abort it.
1546         
1547        - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be
1548          found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups
1549          The installation script prompts the user to see if he
1550          wants to move an old configuration file to the new location
1551          if needed.
1552         
1553        - Improved documentation.
1554       
1555        - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage
1556          Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details.
1557       
1558        - Better general error handling.
1559       
1560        - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now
1561          included as well.
1562       
1563    - 1.01 :
1564   
1565        - The configuration file now accepts an option   
1566          to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages :
1567         
1568            - DevNull means no one will receive them.
1569            - User means only the user will receive them.
1570            - Admin means only the admin will receive them.
1571            - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them.
1572           
1573        - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values
1574          when an option is not set. See sample configuration file
1575          for details.
1576         
1577        - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to   
1578          add this information to this file.
1579         
1580        - Redistribution terms for the official package have 
1581          softened and are now fully GPL compatible :
1582          unrestricted modification is now allowed even for
1583          the version number.
1584         
1585    - 1.00 :
1586   
1587        - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This
1588          disable quota checking while still doing page
1589          accounting. This is really useful for people
1590          who don't want to limit their users but want
1591          to know how much pages they print.
1592         
1593        - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve
1594          the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers.
1595         
1596        - Every directory now has a specific README file. 
1597       
1598    - 0.99 :
1599   
1600        - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed
1601          to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is
1602          now fixed.
1603         
1604        - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for
1605          the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed.
1606         
1607    - 0.98 :
1608   
1609        - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off.
1610       
1611        - Small bug wrt syslog fixed.
1612       
1613    - 0.97 :
1614   
1615        - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too
1616          if the --add option is not set, e.g. :
1617         
1618              $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*"
1619             
1620        - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*"
1621          which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used.
1622         
1623        - Small bug fixes.
1624       
1625    - 0.96 :
1626
1627        - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now
1628          be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has
1629          priority if both are defined.
1630
1631        - More powerful configuration parser.
1632       
1633        - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to
1634          define a section for each printer in the configuration
1635          file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok.
1636
1637    - 0.95 :
1638
1639        - External requesters for printers finally added.
1640
1641        - Full internationalization (english and french are supported)
1642 
1643        - More complete quota usage report
1644
1645        - CGI script to access to the quota usage report
1646
1647        - Several bugs fixed.
1648
1649
1650    - 0.9 :
