---|
52 | |
---|
53 | - 1.25alpha4 (2006-05-23) : |
---|
54 | |
---|
55 | - Introduced the 'askconfirmation' directive to interact with |
---|
56 | the end user through any script (pknotify is recommended) |
---|
57 | and see if he really wants to print when knowing the cost |
---|
58 | of the job. |
---|
59 | |
---|
60 | - Now uses pkipplib if present to directly retrieve the job |
---|
61 | information from the CUPS server over IPP. |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | - 1.25alpha3 (2006-05-11) : |
---|
64 | |
---|
65 | - Added a lock to ensure that a single cupspykota backend |
---|

---|
87 | |
---|
88 | - Improved documentation and packaging stuff. |
---|
89 | |
---|
90 | - 1.24beta (2006-03-26) : |
---|
91 | |
---|
92 | - Finalized the pknotify command. |
---|
93 | |
---|
94 | - Updated the messages catalogs for translations. |
---|
95 | |
---|
96 | - 1.24alpha18 (2006-03-15) : |
---|
97 | |
---|
98 | - Now uses MIME encapsulation for email messages to avoid |
---|

---|
101 | - 1.24alpha17 (2006-03-06) : |
---|
102 | |
---|
103 | - Fixed a major problem in the PostgreSQL backend. |
---|
104 | |
---|
105 | - pknotify can now check a remote user's name and password. |
---|
106 | |
---|
107 | - 1.24alpha16 (2006-03-02) : |
---|
108 | |
---|
109 | - Introduced the pknotify command line tool to dialog |
---|
110 | with remote PyKotIcon applications. |

---|
112 | - 1.24alpha15 (2006-03-02) : |
---|
113 | |
---|
114 | - optimized pkbcodes, pkprinters and pkusers using edpykota as |
---|
115 | the model. |
---|
116 | |
---|
117 | - 'edpykota --list' and 'pkusers --list' are now authorized |
---|
118 | to mere mortal users, but the list is restricted to informations |
---|
119 | about the current user. |
---|
120 | |
---|
121 | - Extended the functionnality of the 'onbackenderror' directive to |

---|
125 | |
---|
126 | - Finished optimizations in edpykota and fixed some minor |
---|
127 | problems with LDAP. |
---|
128 | |
---|
129 | - 1.24alpha13 : |
---|
130 | |
---|
131 | - Introduced the pkusers command line tool to manage users and |
---|
132 | users groups. This command doesn't deal with print quota entries, |
---|
133 | which continue to be managed through the edpykota command line |
---|
134 | tool. |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | - Major rewrite and incompatible changes to command line options |
---|
137 | in edpykota. This command now only deals with print quota |
---|
138 | entries. Printers, users (or users groups) now have to be created |
---|
139 | first using pkprinters or pkusers. |
---|
140 | |
---|
141 | - 1.24alpha12 : |
---|
142 | |
---|
143 | - Introduced the 'duplicatesdelay' directive to specify after |
---|
144 | which duration two duplicate jobs are not considered duplicate |
---|
145 | jobs anymore. |
---|
146 | |
---|
147 | - Introduced the 'balancezero' directive to specify any value |
---|
148 | as the balance limit instead of 0.0. This can allow admins to |
---|
149 | give a few free credits to users, for example. |
---|
150 | |
---|
151 | - 1.24alpha11 : |
---|
152 | |
---|
153 | - Huge speed improvements when modifying billing codes and |
---|
154 | printers. |
---|
155 | |
---|
156 | - Both pkbcodes and pkprinters now display the percent done |
---|
157 | for all actions. |
---|
158 | |
---|
159 | - The pkinvoice invoice generator command line utility is now |
---|
160 | included. |
---|
161 | |
---|
162 | - 1.24alpha10 : |
---|
163 | |
---|
164 | - Huge speed improvements when deleting users, printers, and |
---|
165 | billing codes. |
---|
166 | |
---|
167 | - 1.24alpha9 : |
---|
168 | |
---|
169 | - Preliminary support for MySQL, thanks to Matt Hyclak. |
---|
170 | |
---|
171 | - 1.24alpha8 : |
---|
172 | |
---|
173 | - The 'preaccounter' configuration directive was introduced to control |
---|
174 | which parser to use for precomputation of the job's size. When unset, |
---|
175 | the internal parser is used just like it was previously. See |
---|
176 | conf/pykota.conf.sample for more details. |
---|
177 | |
---|
178 | - Now subprocesses launched through the overwrite_jobticket directive |
---|
179 | can also output 'CANCEL', to represent the user's own choice to |
---|
180 | cancel the print job. |
---|
181 | |
---|
182 | - 1.24alpha7 : |
---|
183 | |
---|
184 | - pkbanner now handles new print limiting modes correctly. |
---|
185 | |
---|
186 | - The cupspykota backend wrapper now accepts to be interrupted |
---|
187 | with a kill -INT. This causes an immediate and clean abort |
---|
188 | of the current print job. |
---|
189 | |
---|
190 | - Matt Hyclak contributed the possibility to store the printing |
---|
191 | history in a MySQL database. See the contributed/ directory |
---|
192 | for details. |
---|
193 | |
---|
194 | - Added 2006 to the copyright's years. |
---|
195 | |
---|
196 | - 1.24alpha6 : |
---|
197 | |
---|
198 | - Fixed internal SNMP and PJL handling code for very fast |
---|
199 | printers : PyKota didn't see them going from 'idle' |
---|
200 | to 'printing' to 'idle' again. |
---|
201 | |
---|
202 | - Now waitprinter.sh accepts SNMP version number and |
---|
203 | community name as arguments, thanks to Brandon |
---|
204 | Holbrook. |
---|
205 | |
---|
206 | - Now command line errors and Ctrl+C repectively cause |
---|
207 | PyKota commands to exit with status -2 and -3. |
---|
208 | |
---|
209 | - 1.24alpha5 : |
---|
210 | |
---|
211 | - All command line tools now accept -A | --arguments filename.args |
---|
212 | as a way to bypass the shell's maximal command line size : |
---|
213 | just put each argument on a line by itself in a file, and |
---|
214 | pass the file's name as the -A | --arguments command line |
---|
215 | option's argument. For now this won't be documented in |
---|
216 | commands' helps. |
---|
217 | |
---|
218 | - dumpykota can now dump the complete database in XML |
---|
219 | format. |
---|
220 | |
---|
221 | - 1.24alpha4 : |
---|
222 | |
---|
223 | - Added support for the SQLite3 backend. |
---|
224 | See pykota/initscripts/sqlite/README.sqlite |
---|
225 | |
---|
226 | - 1.24alpha3 : |
---|
227 | |
---|
228 | - Fix for mailandpopup.sh : smbstatus can't be run setuid, |
---|
229 | so we regain priviledges before running an external |
---|
230 | mailto directive. |
---|
231 | |
---|
232 | - 1.24alpha2 : |
---|
233 | |
---|
234 | - Introduce the "onbackenderror" directive in pykota.conf, to |
---|
235 | control if the user must be charged or not whenever a real |
---|
236 | CUPS backend fails. The default value is 'nocharge'. |
---|
237 | Set it to 'charge' if you think your users can cause a CUPS |
---|
238 | backend to fail. |
---|
239 | |
---|
240 | - Now mark original backends related problems as such in the |
---|
241 | printing history. Modified printquota.cgi and pykota.css |
---|
242 | to make them be more visible. |
---|
243 | |
---|
244 | - 1.24alpha1 : |
---|
245 | |
---|
246 | - Fixed a problem which caused backend errors to be ignored. |
---|
247 | |
---|
248 | - The sample LDIF file now contains the two necessary user |
---|
249 | entries to have an LDAP PyKota Admin and an LDAP PyKota |
---|
250 | ReadOnly user. The sample configuration files were updated |
---|
251 | to contain the default passwords used in the LDIF file. |
---|
252 | |
---|
253 | - dumpykota is now more strict when checking arguments. |
---|
254 | |
---|
255 | - 1.23 : |
---|
256 | |
---|
257 | - Many minor bug fixes and code cleaning. |
---|
258 | |
---|
259 | - Improved documentation. |
---|
260 | |
---|
261 | - Added Polish translation. |
---|
262 | |
---|
263 | - Improved French and Swedish translations. |
---|
264 | |
---|
265 | - 1.23beta : |
---|
266 | |
---|
267 | - Now the mailto directive is honored in all cases where the job is |
---|
268 | denied or a warning has to be issued, and the correct reason |
---|
269 | can be sent back to the user. |
---|
270 | |
---|
271 | - The PYKOTAREASON environment variable, if defined, contains the |
---|
272 | textual reason why the job was denied or a warning has to be |
---|
273 | issued. |
---|
274 | |
---|
275 | - 1.23alpha31 : |
---|
276 | |
---|
277 | - Added support for --maxjobsize, --passthrough and --nopassthrough |
---|
278 | in pkprinters. These modes are now also honored when printing. |
---|
279 | |
---|
280 | - Allows the admin to restrict the number of print queues which will |
---|
281 | be treated by pkturnkey by passing queues' names as additionnal |
---|
282 | arguments on pkturnkey's command line. |
---|
283 | |
---|
284 | - pkturnkey now supersedes pkhint with the help of the -c | --doconf |
---|
285 | command line option. |
---|
286 | |
---|
287 | - 1.23alpha30 : |
---|
288 | |
---|
289 | - Database changes : you MUST use upgrade-to-1.23.sql again if you |
---|
290 | use PostgreSQL, or copy the new schema and restart your LDAP |
---|
291 | server if you use LDAP. |
---|
292 | |
---|
293 | - The -C | --comment command line switch was added to edpykota to |
---|
294 | attach textual information to modifications done to a user's |
---|
295 | account balance. |
---|
296 | |
---|
297 | - The -l | --limitby command line switch to edpykota was modified |
---|
298 | to allow 'noquota', 'nochange', and 'noprint'. See the edpykota |
---|
299 | command's help or manual page for details. |
---|
300 | |
---|
301 | - The -i | --ingroups command line switch to repykota allows |
---|
302 | PyKota Administrators to only lists members of the specified |
---|
303 | group or groups (separated with commas). |
---|
304 | |
---|
305 | - The -I | --increase command line switch to edpykota allows |
---|
306 | to increase or decrease page limits. |
---|
307 | |
---|
308 | - Added the precomputed job's size and price to the history |
---|
309 | for controlling purpose. |
---|
310 | |
---|
311 | - 1.23alpha29 : |
---|
312 | |
---|
313 | - Fixed a small problem with billing codes. |
---|
314 | |
---|
315 | - Exports some environment variables earlier, to render the script |
---|
316 | launched by the overwrite_jobticket directive more powerful. |
---|
317 | |
---|
318 | - Now autopykota also creates print quota entries for the user on the |
---|
319 | printers groups the current printer is a member of. |
---|
320 | |
---|
321 | - 1.23alpha28 : |
---|
322 | |
---|
323 | - Added users groups management to pkturnkey. |
---|
324 | |
---|
325 | - Fixed umask in setup script. |
---|
326 | |
---|
327 | - 1.23alpha27 : |
---|
328 | |
---|
329 | - Replaced the --dryrun command line option by the --force |
---|
330 | command line option in pkturnkey, with exactly the opposite |
---|
331 | effect (for security reasons). |
---|
332 | |
---|
333 | - 1.23alpha26 : |
---|
334 | |
---|
335 | - Allows parametrized pjl and snmp hardware accounting methods, |
---|
336 | to be able to respectively set the TCP port and the SNMP |
---|
337 | community. |
---|
338 | |
---|
339 | - 1.23alpha25 : |

---|
348 | |
---|
349 | - Allows different databases to be used depending on the |
---|
350 | user's rights. This allows PyKota admins to directly |
---|
351 | use a master LDAP server for read+write, while letting |
---|
352 | normal users using the replicas for readonly access. |
---|
353 | NB : using different storage backends is also possible, |
---|
354 | but you're on your own there. |
---|
355 | |
---|
356 | - 1.23alpha23 : |
---|
357 | |
---|
358 | - Fixed a problem with banner accounting. |
---|
359 | |
---|
360 | - Introduction of the new 'pkturnkey' command line tool. |
---|
361 | |
---|
362 | - 1.23alpha22 : |
---|
363 | |
---|
364 | - The cupspykota backend was almost entirely rewritten from scratch. |
---|
365 | It's now much more readable, maintainable, etc... |
---|
366 | |
---|
367 | - LPRng support is OFFICIALLY dropped for now. LPRng users are |
---|
368 | advised to download earlier releases or purchase the |
---|
369 | PyKota v1.22HotFix1 Official release. LPRng support |
---|
370 | MIGHT be re-added later. |
---|
371 | |
---|
372 | - 1.23alpha21 : |
---|
373 | |
---|
374 | - Fix for IPP requests which contain more than a single |
---|
375 | job-originating-host-name attribute. |
---|
376 | |
---|
377 | - 1.23alpha20 : |
---|
378 | |
---|
379 | - Added the overwrite_jobticket directive. See pykota.conf.sample |
---|
380 | for how to use it. |
---|
381 | |
---|
382 | - 1.23alpha19 : |
---|
383 | |
---|
384 | - Fixed an LDAP filtering problem when managing billing codes. |
---|
385 | |

388 | |
---|
389 | - 1.23alpha18 : |
---|
390 | |
---|
391 | - Added the dump_bfd.php contribution. |
---|
392 | |
---|
393 | - Several fixes in the internal PJL accounter. |
---|
394 | |
---|
395 | - Now autopykota doesn't create unneeded print quota entries anymore. |
---|
396 | |
---|
397 | - Increased the timeout in the PJL hardware accounting code to |
---|
398 | accomodate some printers (HP5000 at least). |
---|
399 | |
---|
400 | - 1.23alpha17 : |
---|
401 | |
---|
402 | - pkpgcounter is now distributed separately only. This |
---|
403 | means that people must now download and install pkpgcounter |
---|
404 | v1.56 or higher prior to being able to run PyKota. |
---|
405 | |
---|
406 | - Removed all the autoconf/automake stuff which was outdated |
---|
407 | and confusing. |
---|
408 | |
---|
409 | - 1.23alpha16 : |
---|
410 | |
---|
411 | - Extracted the GPL blurb from all commands' help, and use |
---|
412 | a static version only once. This saves space big time, and |
---|
413 | eases future translations. |
---|
414 | |
---|
415 | - 1.23alpha15 : |
---|
416 | |
---|
417 | - pkbcodes now works with the PostgreSQL backend. |

---|
421 | |
---|
422 | - Logs a warning when the user/group doesn't exist when running |
---|
423 | edpykota. |

---|
426 | |
---|
427 | - Minor fix for user groups because of latest database changes. |
---|
428 | |
---|
429 | - 1.23alpha12 : |
---|
430 | |
---|
431 | - Big database changes, use the migration scripts ! |
---|
432 | |

446 | - The denyduplicates directive now accepts a command line as an |
---|
447 | argument beside yes/no. The command is launched and must |
---|
448 | print either ALLOW or DENY to its standard output. Then the |
---|
449 | job gets allowed or denied by PyKota. |
---|
450 | This will allow user interaction in the near future. |
---|
451 | |
---|
452 | - Introduced the new 'striptitle' directive to remove ugly prefixes |
---|
453 | from print job's titles whenever a new print job is submitted. |

---|
462 | |
---|
463 | - The message used when the job's filename, title and options are |
---|
464 | hidden because of the privacy directive is now translated at |
---|
465 | retrieval time, instead of at saving time. |
---|
466 | |
---|
467 | - Minor fix in the LDAP backend code. |
---|
468 | |

---|
474 | - 1.23alpha6 : |
---|
475 | |
---|
476 | - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now |
---|
477 | accept a positive or negative offset to be added to the special |
---|
478 | keywords 'yesterday', 'today', 'now', 'tomorrow'. |
---|
479 | e.g. : dumpykota --data history start=yesterday-5 end=today |
---|
480 | |

493 | - The destination link for the logo used in CGI scripts is |
---|
494 | configurable. |
---|
495 | |
---|
496 | - Data dumper improved : it's faster and now datas are correctly |
---|
497 | escaped. |
---|
498 | |
---|
499 | - The URL to the logo displayed in the CGI scripts is configurable. |
---|

---|
509 | |
---|
510 | - Sets current username to the user CUPS runs as instead of "root" |
---|
511 | when printing test pages from CUPS' web interface (because |
---|
512 | the username is empty in this case). |
---|
513 | |
---|
514 | - Fix for strange values in job-originating-hostname |
---|
515 | |
---|
516 | - 1.22 : |

540 | - Fixed the dump in CUPS' page_log format which didn't |
---|
541 | dump the oldest entry. |
---|
542 | |
---|

---|
544 | filters when dumping the job history. |
---|
545 | |
---|
546 | - The job billing code if present is now saved into the database, |

---|
579 | returning to "idle". |
---|
580 | |
---|
581 | - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota |
---|
582 | from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed. |

---|
620 | |
---|
621 | - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting |
---|
622 | directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not |

---|
624 | case. |
---|
625 | |
---|
626 | - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts |
---|
627 | limited by balance. |

---|
643 | to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample |
---|
644 | configuration file for details. |

---|
647 | |
---|
648 | - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script |

---|
652 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |
---|
653 | option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor |

---|
655 | |
---|
656 | - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to |
---|
657 | 80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse |
---|
658 | repykota's output in their own tools are strongly advised |
---|
659 | to parse dumpykota's output instead. |
---|
660 | |
---|
661 | - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive |
---|

---|
676 | '*' to be the default argument anymore :-) |
---|
677 | |
---|
678 | - 1.21alpha21 : |
---|
679 | |
---|
680 | - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to |
---|
681 | a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is |
---|
682 | necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER |
---|
683 | environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see |
---|
684 | the file cgi-bin/README for details. |
---|
685 | The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota |
---|
686 | administrator. |
---|
687 | |
---|
688 | - Fix exception's name error due to a change in recent versions |
---|

---|
695 | - 1.21alpha19 : |
---|
696 | |

697 | - Introduction of the new dumpykota.cgi CGI script, which |
---|
698 | allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be |
---|
699 | interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you |
---|
700 | may have to change your web server's configuration, |
---|
701 | please see pykota/cgi-bin/README |
---|
702 | |
---|
703 | - 1.21alpha18 : |
---|
704 | |
---|
705 | - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log |
---|
706 | format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows |
---|
707 | people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer |
---|
708 | (two completely different beasts) with PyKota. |
---|
709 | |
---|
710 | - 1.21alpha17 : |

---|
727 | in dumpykota's output. |
---|
728 | |
---|
729 | - dumpykota filtering capabilities are now supported within |
---|
730 | the LDAP backend too. |

---|
738 | |
---|
739 | - Added a --debug command line option to pkpgcounter, so |

---|
751 | |
---|
752 | - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly |
---|
753 | below the user or group with the LDAP backend, using them |
---|
754 | as branches. Thanks to Stefan Wold for the patch. |
---|
755 | See the sample configuration file for details. |
---|
756 | |
---|
757 | - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan |

---|
771 | |

---|
877 | to not cause confusion to users who have just opened |
---|
878 | their account. |

---|
893 | |
---|
894 | - 1.20alpha21 : |
---|
895 | |
---|
896 | - Now dumpykota refuses to launch if the current user is not |
---|
897 | a PyKota administrator (a PyKota administrator is an user |
---|
898 | allowed to read the pykotadmin.conf file). |
---|
899 | |
---|
900 | - Now any PyKota administrator can use repykota and warnpykota |
---|
901 | with additionnal arguments, not only the root user. |
---|
902 | |
---|
903 | - Improved documentation a bit. |
---|
904 | |
---|
905 | - 1.20alpha20 : |
---|
906 | |
---|

920 | |
---|
921 | - The description, filename, title, and options fields |
---|
922 | are now stored as UTF-8 strings in both LDAP and PostgreSQL. |
---|
923 | Proper charset is used during extraction from the database. |
---|
924 | |
---|
925 | - 1.20alpha18 : |
---|
926 | |
---|
927 | - Experimental autopykota command to initialize user |
---|
928 | account and quota entries on first print while not |
---|
929 | resetting the balance value if not needed. |
---|
930 | |
---|
931 | - Added the new "winbind_separator" directive to strip |
---|
932 | out the Samba/Winbind domain name while printing if |
---|
933 | needed (Off by default). |
---|
934 | |
---|
935 | - 1.20alpha17 : |
---|
936 | |
---|
937 | - Added --hardreset command line option to edpykota. |
---|
938 | |

---|
943 | |
---|
944 | - Internal handling of socket based PJL queries over |
---|
945 | port tcp/9100 is now available with the magic |
---|
946 | 'pjl' value in the hardware accounter. |
---|
947 | |
---|
948 | - 1.20alpha15 : |
---|
949 | |
---|
950 | - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created |
---|
951 | attached to the pykotaUser objects. This is now |
---|
952 | fixed and the value of balancebase in pykota.conf |
---|
953 | is now correctly used. |
---|
954 | |
---|
955 | - 1.20alpha14 : |
---|

---|
963 | of the external one. |
---|
964 | |
---|
965 | - 1.20alpha13 : |
---|
966 | |
---|
967 | - Hardware accounter now accepts the special |
---|
968 | 'snmp' value, meaning ALL is done from main code |
---|
969 | without launching any subprocess. |
---|
970 | You need the http://pysnmp.sf.net Python module |
---|
971 | for this to work (tested with v3.4.2) |
---|
972 | |
---|
973 | - Increased delay between two loops iterations |
---|
974 | to 2 seconds in waitprinter.sh to diminish |
---|
975 | CPU load. |
---|
976 | |
---|
977 | - 1.20alpha12 : |
---|
978 | |
---|
979 | - waitprinter.sh rewritten from scratch to wait |

---|
986 | |
---|
987 | - 1.20alpha10 : |
---|
988 | |
---|

---|
992 | - 1.20alpha9 : |
---|
993 | |
---|
994 | - Small fixes wrt subprocesses. |

---|
997 | |
---|
998 | - Added full support of PCL3 : HP Deskjet printers are now |
---|
999 | supported. |
---|
1000 | |
---|
1001 | - 1.20alpha7 : |
---|
1002 | |
---|
1003 | - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer. |
---|
1004 | Needs more work, but no documentation is available. |
---|
1005 | |
---|
1006 | - 1.20alpha6 : |
---|
1007 | |
---|
1008 | - Improved mailandpopup.sh script. |
---|
1009 | |
---|

---|
1011 | |
---|
1012 | - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers' |
---|
1013 | hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not |

1014 | meaningful. |
---|
1015 | |
---|
1016 | - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules |
---|
1017 | fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable. |
---|
1018 | |
---|
1019 | - Fixed a bug in LDAP user deletion code. |
---|
1020 | |
---|
1021 | - 1.20alpha5 : |
---|
1022 | |
---|
1023 | - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror' |
---|
1024 | to specify what must be done whenever the software or |
---|
1025 | hardware accounter fails. Allowed values are 'continue' and |
---|
1026 | 'stop' (default). |
---|
1027 | |
---|
1028 | - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced |
---|
1029 | problem. |
---|
1030 | |

---|
1035 | |
---|
1036 | - 1.20alpha3 : |
---|
1037 | |
---|
1038 | - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being |
---|
1039 | fooled by a change in number of copies : |
---|
1040 | The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy |
---|
1041 | of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore : |
---|
1042 | this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but |
---|
1043 | now the maximum value seen is used. |
---|
1044 | |
---|
1045 | - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange |
---|
1046 | printer drivers. |
---|
1047 | |
---|
1048 | - Now hardware accounting method works like software |
---|
1049 | accounting method wrt the subprocess' output. |
---|
1050 | |
---|
1051 | - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue |
---|
1052 | when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will |
---|
1053 | be configurable in the near future. |
---|
1054 | |
---|
1055 | - 1.20alpha2 : |
---|
1056 | |
---|
1057 | - Now software accounting method reads accounter's |
---|
1058 | answer until a line with a single integer is |
---|
1059 | obtained or until all of its output has been read. |
---|
1060 | This should fix the problem some people have |
---|
1061 | when strange locale related messages are sent |
---|
1062 | when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?). |
---|
1063 | |
---|
1064 | - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work |
---|
1065 | ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid' |
---|
1066 | and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more |
---|
1067 | work to correctly analyze other devices. |
---|
1068 | |
---|
1069 | - 1.20alpha1 : |
---|
1070 | |
---|
1071 | - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCLXL parser. |
---|
1072 | |
---|
1073 | - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser, |
---|
1074 | when number of copies was set outside of and before first |
---|
1075 | page. |
---|
1076 | |
---|
1077 | - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in |
---|
1078 | PostScript code. |
---|
1079 | |
---|
1080 | - Added german translation. |
---|
1081 | |
---|
1082 | - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when |
---|
1083 | "enforcement: strict" is used. |
---|
1084 | |
---|
1085 | - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation. |
---|
1086 | |
---|
1087 | - 1.19 : |
---|
1088 | |
---|
1089 | - Updated existing translations. |
---|

---|
1091 | - Added final Thai and Greek translations. |
---|
1092 | |
---|
1093 | - Minor last minute bug fixes. |
---|
1094 | |
---|
1095 | - 1.19beta : |
---|
1096 | |
---|
1097 | - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems |
---|
1098 | to be OK. |
---|
1099 | |
---|
1100 | - Translation files fixed because of fuzzy matching problem. |
---|
1101 | |
---|

1103 | |
---|
1104 | - Added first draft of Thai translation. |
---|
1105 | |
---|
1106 | - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker. |
---|
1107 | |
---|
1108 | - 1.19alpha35 : |
---|
1109 | |
---|
1110 | - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents |
---|
1111 | in addition to DSC compliant ones. |
---|
1112 | |
---|
1113 | - 1.19alpha34 : |
---|
1114 | |
---|
1115 | - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine, |
---|
1116 | but hardware accounting doesn't work yet. |
---|
1117 | |
---|
1118 | - 1.19alpha33 : |
---|
1119 | |
---|
1120 | - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy ! |
---|
1121 | NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8 |
---|
1122 | or higher if you don't use the default C locale. |
---|
1123 | |
---|
1124 | - 1.19alpha32 : |
---|
1125 | |
---|
1126 | - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite. |
---|
1127 | |
---|
1128 | - Saner default configuration file. |
---|
1129 | |
---|
1130 | - 1.19alpha31 : |
---|
1131 | |
---|
1132 | - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions, |
---|
1133 | which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with |
---|
1134 | this older version of Python. |
---|
1135 | |
---|
1136 | - 1.19alpha30 : |
---|
1137 | |
---|
1138 | - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command |
---|
1139 | |
---|
1140 | - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain |
---|
1141 | ANY character, expected '/' and '@'. |
---|
1142 | |
---|
1143 | - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio |
---|
1144 | Gonz�z Gonz�z |
---|
1145 | |
---|
1146 | - 1.19alpha29 : |
---|
1147 | |
---|
1148 | - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of |
---|
1149 | copies set for each page. |
---|
1150 | |
---|
1151 | - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
1152 | |
---|
1153 | - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser. |
---|
1154 | |
---|
1155 | - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the |
---|
1156 | situation : tools which can be run interactively will |
---|
1157 | ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for |
---|
1158 | their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:" |
---|
1159 | directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored. |
---|
1160 | Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS |
---|
1161 | honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf |
---|
1162 | |
---|
1163 | - 1.19alpha28 : |
---|
1164 | |
---|
1165 | - The description field for printers can now be set, |
---|
1166 | and is displayed in reports. |
---|
1167 | |
---|
1168 | - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code. |
---|
1169 | |
---|
1170 | - Improved pkhint |
---|
1171 | |
---|
1172 | - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser ! |
---|
1173 | Doesn't handle copies yet. |
---|
1174 | |
---|
1175 | - 1.19alpha27 : |
---|
1176 | |
---|
1177 | - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript |
---|
1178 | generated files (untested yet with other PCL files). |
---|
1179 | |
---|
1180 | - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups |
---|
1181 | PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times. |
---|
1182 | This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase |
---|
1183 | in performance for PCL5 parsing ! |
---|
1184 | |
---|
1185 | - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available |
---|
1186 | in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by |
---|
1187 | almost three times automagically. |
---|
1188 | |
---|
1189 | - 1.19alpha26 : |
---|
1190 | |
---|
1191 | - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp. |
---|
1192 | |
---|
1193 | - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number |
---|
1194 | of copies could vary from page to page. |
---|
1195 | |
---|
1196 | - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. |
---|
1197 | |
---|
1198 | - 1.19alpha25 : |
---|
1199 | |
---|
1200 | - Added new "description" field to printers in both |
---|
1201 | PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet. |
---|
1202 | |
---|
1203 | - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : |
---|
1204 | no paper or tray open would have caused people to |
---|
1205 | be undercharged. |
---|
1206 | |
---|
1207 | - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script. |
---|
1208 | |
---|
1209 | - 1.19alpha24 : |
---|
1210 | |
---|
1211 | - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with |
---|
1212 | Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before. |
---|
1213 | GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS, |
---|
1214 | because PDF is parsed directly. |
---|
1215 | |
---|
1216 | - 1.19alpha23 : |
---|
1217 | |
---|
1218 | - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some |
---|
1219 | printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez. |
---|
1220 | |
---|
1221 | - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two |
---|
1222 | PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which |
---|
1223 | is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and |
---|
1224 | a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects |
---|
1225 | automatically which method to use depending on your |
---|
1226 | version of Python. |
---|
1227 | |
---|
1228 | - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number. |
---|
1229 | |
---|
1230 | - 1.19alpha22 : |
---|
1231 | |
---|
1232 | - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is |
---|
1233 | reset to the start of the job's datas after the |
---|
1234 | job's size pre-computation phase. |
---|
1235 | |
---|
1236 | - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers |
---|
1237 | which don't correctly switch languages between PJL |
---|
1238 | and PS. |
---|
1239 | |
---|
1240 | - Even better debugging code. |
---|
1241 | |
---|
1242 | - 1.19alpha21 : |
---|
1243 | |
---|
1244 | - Additionnal check. |
---|
1245 | |
---|
1246 | - 1.19alpha20 : |
---|
1247 | |
---|
1248 | - More complete logging messages wrt accounters. |
---|
1249 | |
---|
1250 | - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration |
---|
1251 | files are parsed. |
---|
1252 | |
---|
1253 | - 1.19alpha19 : |
---|
1254 | |
---|
1255 | - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help |
---|
1256 | or version. |
---|
1257 | |
---|
1258 | - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts |
---|
1259 | |
---|
1260 | - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history. |
---|
1261 | |
---|
1262 | - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to |
---|
1263 | cause problems. |
---|
1264 | |
---|
1265 | - 1.19alpha18 : |
---|
1266 | |
---|
1267 | - History of payments is now stored in the database, and |
---|
1268 | updated each time an user's balance is modified with |
---|
1269 | edpykota --balance. This history represents each time |
---|
1270 | the user was given some positive or negative credit, |
---|
1271 | but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear |
---|
1272 | in the jobs history instead. |
---|
1273 | |
---|
1274 | - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in |
---|
1275 | bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report |
---|
1276 | more easily readable. |
---|
1277 | |
---|
1278 | - 1.19alpha17 : |
---|
1279 | |
---|
1280 | - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving |
---|
1281 | any log message) which occured once in a while when |
---|
1282 | cancelling jobs should be fixed now. |
---|
1283 | |
---|
1284 | - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by |
---|
1285 | default. See sample configuration file to see how |
---|
1286 | to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it. |
---|
1287 | |
---|
1288 | - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, |
---|
1289 | which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs |
---|
1290 | are now denied. This value is now stored in the job |
---|
1291 | history (but not yet displayed from the web interface) |
---|
1292 | |
---|
1293 | - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL |
---|
1294 | and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written |
---|
1295 | yet to support this functionnality. |
---|
1296 | |
---|
1297 | - 1.19alpha16 : |
---|
1298 | |
---|
1299 | - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept |
---|
1300 | a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry |
---|
1301 | is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used, |
---|
1302 | then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn" |
---|
1303 | is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged. |
---|
1304 | |
---|
1305 | - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database, |
---|
1306 | and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment. |
---|
1307 | |
---|
1308 | - 1.19alpha15 : |
---|
1309 | |
---|
1310 | - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that |
---|
1311 | currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but |
---|
1312 | LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future. |
---|
1313 | |
---|
1314 | - 1.19alpha14 : |
---|
1315 | |
---|
1316 | - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE |
---|
1317 | are now exported as environment variables. |
---|
1318 | |
---|
1319 | - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by |
---|
1320 | introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do. |
---|
1321 | |
---|
1322 | - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only |
---|
1323 | done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves |
---|
1324 | CPU for people who don't want to use this new |
---|
1325 | feature. |
---|
1326 | |
---|
1327 | - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either |
---|
1328 | STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file |
---|
1329 | for details. |
---|
1330 | |
---|
1331 | - 1.19alpha13 : |
---|
1332 | |
---|
1333 | - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which |
---|
1334 | worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized |
---|
1335 | as time permits. |
---|
1336 | |
---|
1337 | - 1.19alpha12 : |
---|
1338 | |
---|
1339 | - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using |
---|
1340 | the generic PDL analyzer. |
---|
1341 | NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the |
---|
1342 | job. |
---|
1343 | |
---|
1344 | - 1.19alpha11 : |
---|
1345 | |
---|
1346 | - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and |
---|
1347 | can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download |
---|
1348 | an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use |
---|
1349 | cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come |
---|
1350 | in the near future. |
---|
1351 | |
---|
1352 | - 1.19alpha10 : |
---|
1353 | |
---|
1354 | - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead |
---|
1355 | of spawning a new process. |
---|
1356 | |
---|
1357 | - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer. |
---|
1358 | |
---|
1359 | - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version |
---|
1360 | will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven |
---|
1361 | parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then, |
---|
1362 | the original algorithm is still used for now. |
---|
1363 | Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the |
---|
1364 | expense of severe memory consumption. |
---|
1365 | |
---|
1366 | - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's |
---|
1367 | 'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester" |
---|
1368 | directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not |
---|
1369 | supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1370 | |
---|
1371 | - 1.19alpha9 : |
---|
1372 | |
---|
1373 | - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class |
---|
1374 | |
---|
1375 | - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters |
---|
1376 | too. |
---|
1377 | |
---|
1378 | - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite |
---|
1379 | |
---|
1380 | - 1.19alpha8 : |
---|
1381 | |
---|
1382 | - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware' |
---|
1383 | |
---|
1384 | - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software' |
---|
1385 | |
---|
1386 | - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore |
---|
1387 | |
---|
1388 | - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore |
---|
1389 | |
---|
1390 | - code simplifications in external requester |
---|
1391 | |
---|
1392 | - 1.19alpha7 : |
---|
1393 | |
---|
1394 | - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to |
---|
1395 | allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute. |
---|
1396 | An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet |
---|
1397 | capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support |
---|
1398 | for this functionnality will be added in the future. |
---|
1399 | |
---|
1400 | - 1.19alpha6 : |
---|
1401 | |
---|
1402 | - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched. |
---|
1403 | |
---|
1404 | - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the |
---|
1405 | job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6) |
---|
1406 | support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to |
---|
1407 | PostScript. |
---|
1408 | |
---|
1409 | - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. |
---|
1410 | It is currently disabled until it's finished. |
---|
1411 | |
---|
1412 | - 1.19alpha5 : |
---|
1413 | |
---|
1414 | - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least) |
---|
1415 | |
---|
1416 | - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing |
---|
1417 | problems under heavy load. |
---|
1418 | |
---|
1419 | - pkpgcounter enhancements. |
---|
1420 | |
---|
1421 | - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not |
---|
1422 | modify existing printers when --add is used. |
---|
1423 | pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is |
---|
1424 | used and a printer already exists. |
---|
1425 | |
---|
1426 | - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName |
---|
1427 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
1428 | |
---|
1429 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
1430 | |
---|
1431 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
1432 | is now fixed. |
---|
1433 | |
---|
1434 | - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of |
---|
1435 | HP PCL/PJL Reference Set |
---|
1436 | PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide |
---|
1437 | |
---|
1438 | - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration |
---|
1439 | is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for |
---|
1440 | testing. |
---|
1441 | |
---|
1442 | - 1.19alpha3 : |
---|
1443 | |
---|
1444 | - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument |
---|
1445 | to list informations about printers. |
---|
1446 | |
---|
1447 | - 1.19alpha2 : |
---|
1448 | |
---|
1449 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|
1450 | accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL. |
---|
1451 | |
---|
1452 | - 1.19alpha1 : |
---|
1453 | |
---|
1454 | - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too. |

---|
1495 | filter as well. |
---|
1496 | |
---|
1497 | - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota |
---|
1498 | anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used : |
---|
1499 | this will be done anyway the next time the last |
---|
1500 | user will print again. This saves some database |
---|
1501 | queries which are unneeded. |
---|
1502 | |
---|
1503 | - 1.18alpha12 : |
---|
1504 | |
---|
1505 | - Pre and Post hooks to external commands with many |
---|
1506 | many environment variables available are useable |
---|

---|
1560 | instead of into /usr/bin |
---|
1561 | BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link |

---|
1632 | |
---|
1633 | For current printer and all the printers groups it is |
---|
1634 | a member of, if any. |
---|
1635 | |
---|
1636 | This may be difficult to grasp, but offers unprecedented |
---|
1637 | flexibility. |

1732 | - Small bugfix wrt Python v2.1 |
---|
1733 | |
---|
1734 | - If username is an empty string, user root is assumed. |
---|
1735 | |
---|
1736 | - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend, |
---|
1737 | you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to |
---|
1738 | be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions, |
---|
1739 | this is not the case anymore. |
---|
1740 | |
---|
1741 | - 1.16alpha12 : |
---|
1742 | |
---|
1743 | - Job price added to job history, to keep accounting correct |
---|
1744 | if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the |
---|
1745 | history is not reset : the history would have given a false |
---|
1746 | amount of money charged before the printer's prices were |
---|
1747 | modified, this addition solves the problem. |
---|
1748 | |
---|
1749 | - 1.16alpha11 : |
---|
1750 | |
---|
1751 | - Some preliminary modifications to the database structure for |
---|
1752 | PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP. A script to upgrade a PostgreSQL |
---|
1753 | database is now provided. LDAP attributes now support |
---|
1754 | eq, pres and sub indexes. |
---|
1755 | |
---|
1756 | - Job history now contains additional informations : |
---|
1757 | number of copies, filename, title and print options. |
---|
1758 | |
---|
1759 | - 1.16alpha10 : |
---|
1760 | |

---|
1771 | file for details. |
---|
1772 | |
---|
1773 | - 1.16alpha8 : |
---|
1774 | |
---|
1775 | - Now cupspykota transmits SIGTERMS to the original |
---|

---|
1782 | |
---|
1783 | - The CUPS backend is now fully functionnal (it seems). |
---|
1784 | |
---|
1785 | - From now on, the use of the pykota filter with CUPS |
---|
1786 | is deprecated. The pykota filter still has to be |
---|
1787 | used with LPRng though. |
---|
1788 | |
---|
1789 | - 1.16alpha6 : |
---|
1790 | |
---|
1791 | - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer |
---|
1792 | with no user or group name, a bad user/group name "*" was |
---|
1793 | added to the database. |
---|
1794 | |
---|
1795 | - 1.16alpha5 : |
---|
1796 | |
---|
1797 | - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration ! |
---|
1798 | This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to |
---|
1799 | be done. All can now be done from CUPS web interface. |
---|
1800 | |
---|
1801 | - 1.16alpha4 : |
---|
1802 | |
---|

---|
1808 | |
---|
1809 | - 1.16alpha2 : |
---|
1810 | |
---|
1811 | - CGI script now partially supports browser's language preference |
---|
1812 | |
---|
1813 | - 1.16alpha1 : |
---|
1814 | |
---|
1815 | - Ensures that the LDAP connection is really closed at end. |
---|
1816 | |
---|
1817 | - More complete error messages in case of LDAP operation failure. |
---|
1818 | |
---|

1821 | - Documentation improved. |
---|
1822 | |
---|
1823 | - 1.15beta : |
---|
1824 | |
---|
1825 | - Command line tools now accept multiple printer |
---|
1826 | names or wildcards, separated with commas. |

---|
1831 | and any other interesting things you may want to do. |
---|
1832 | WARNING : You can't auto-add printers for now. |
---|
1833 | They have to be created manually before. |
---|
1834 | Look at sample configuration file for examples. |
---|
1835 | |
---|
1836 | - 1.15alpha8 : |
---|
1837 | |
---|
1838 | - Job history can be disabled if needed. |
---|
1839 | This feature may be useful for people who use the LDAP |
---|
1840 | backend and don't want their LDAP tree to grow out of |
---|
1841 | control. |
---|
1842 | |
---|
1843 | - 1.15alpha7 : |
---|
1844 | |
---|
1845 | - More work done on caching wrt groups. |

1854 | |
---|
1855 | - 1.15alpha4 : |
---|
1856 | |
---|
1857 | - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive |
---|
1858 | modification. |
---|
1859 | |
---|
1860 | - 1.15alpha3 : |
---|
1861 | |
---|
1862 | - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the |
---|
1863 | REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows |
---|
1864 | people to protect its use with .htaccess files. |
---|
1865 | When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then |
---|
1866 | unrestricted access is granted. |
---|
1867 | NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server |
---|
1868 | (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed. |
---|
1869 | |
---|
1870 | - 1.15alpha2 : |

---|
1879 | |
---|
1880 | - 1.14 : |
---|
1881 | |
---|
1882 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
1883 | exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer |
---|
1884 | from the problem anyway, AFAICT. |
---|
1885 | |
---|
1886 | - 1.14beta2 : |
---|
1887 | |
---|
1888 | - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail. |
---|
1889 | Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email |
---|
1890 | address for the user. See sample configuration file for |
---|
1891 | details. |
---|
1892 | |
---|
1893 | - 1.14beta : |
---|
1894 | |
---|
1895 | - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced, |
---|
1896 | newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add |
---|
1897 | quota information to existing entries or elsewhere. |
---|
1898 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1899 | |
---|
1900 | - 1.14alpha9 : |
---|
1901 | |
---|
1902 | - Documentation improved. |
---|
1903 | |
---|
1904 | - pykotme now also prints the user's account balance value |
---|
1905 | if the user is registered in the Quota Storage and his |
---|
1906 | limiting factor is "balance". |
---|
1907 | |
---|
1908 | - 1.14alpha8 : |
---|
1909 | |
---|
1910 | - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for |
---|
1911 | SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before |
---|
1912 | asking for their internal page counter. |
---|
1913 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1914 | |
---|
1915 | - 1.14alpha7 : |
---|
1916 | |
---|
1917 | - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above |
---|
1918 | quota. The check is only done at print time. This |
---|
1919 | prevents the sending of email messages when creating |
---|
1920 | user quotas if quota is already reached at creation |
---|
1921 | time. |
---|
1922 | |
---|
1923 | - 1.14alpha6 : |
---|
1924 | |
---|
1925 | - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf |
---|
1926 | and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to |
---|
1927 | have Read/Write access to the Quota Database. |
---|
1928 | Don't forget to : |
---|
1929 | |
---|
1930 | $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf |
---|
1931 | |
---|
1932 | - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced |
---|
1933 | for the same reason. |
---|
1934 | |
---|
1935 | - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses |
---|
1936 | support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends. |
---|
1937 | |
---|
1938 | - 1.14alpha5 : |

---|
1948 | - 1.14alpha3 : |
---|
1949 | |

---|
1961 | a warning message. |
---|
1962 | |
---|
1963 | - All warning messages to users are now configurable. |
---|
1964 | NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not. |
---|
1965 | |
---|
1966 | - 1.13 : |
---|
1967 | |
---|
1968 | - Some small fixes wrt group handling. |

---|
1981 | |
---|

1983 | |
---|
1984 | - The previous bug fix was incomplete. This is corrected. |
---|
1985 | |
---|
1986 | - 1.12alpha1 : |
---|
1987 | |
---|
1988 | - Small bug fix. |

---|
2025 | and groups names may contain wildcards. |
---|
2026 | |
---|
2027 | - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the |
---|
2028 | current user when launched by non-root users. |

2032 | - 1.09alpha1 : |
---|
2033 | |
---|
2034 | - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options |
---|
2035 | were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some |

---|
2038 | - Severe database access optimizations were done by |
---|
2039 | rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers. |
---|
2040 | |
---|
2041 | - 1.08 : |
---|
2042 | |
---|
2043 | - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs. |
---|
2044 | |
---|

2049 | - Code refactoring. |
---|
2050 | |
---|
2051 | - A single user/password pair is used to connect |
---|
2052 | to the database backend. The storageuser configuration |
---|
2053 | field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are |
---|
2054 | not used anymore. |
---|
2055 | |
---|
2056 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |
---|
2057 | file for details. |

---|
2069 | |
---|
2070 | - Minor bug corrections |

2071 | |
---|
2072 | - More work on LDAP : new schema |

2073 | |
---|
2074 | - 1.08alpha5 : |
---|

---|
2077 | repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory. |
---|
2078 | |
---|
2079 | - 1.08alpha4 : |
---|
2080 | |
---|
2081 | - LDAP schema included. |
---|
2082 | THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. |
---|
2083 | LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA |
---|
2084 | MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US |
---|
2085 | WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE |
---|
2086 | MAILING LIST. |
---|
2087 | |
---|
2088 | - 1.08alpha3 : |
---|
2089 | |
---|
2090 | - External accounting methods were partly rewritten : |
---|
2091 | |
---|
2092 | - No more "broken pipe" should happen. |
---|
2093 | |
---|
2094 | - They now take care of the number of copies |
---|
2095 | This may be unneeded though, if the postscript |
---|
2096 | file already does this, because this would |
---|
2097 | overcharge users (number of copies counted |
---|
2098 | two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING. |
---|
2099 | |
---|
2100 | - The sample configuration file now contains |
---|
2101 | an external accounting method example which should |
---|
2102 | work with all DSC compliant Postscript files. |
---|
2103 | |
---|
2104 | - Some small bugs were fixed. |
---|
2105 | |
---|
2106 | - 1.08alpha2 : |
---|
2107 | |
---|
2108 | - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above. |
---|
2109 | It already worked, but the sample configuration |
---|
2110 | file didn't contain appropriate values... |
---|
2111 | |
---|
2112 | - 1.07 : Release of the Shame ! |
---|
2113 | |
---|
2114 | - The external accounting methods driver was left out of |
---|
2115 | the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included ! |
---|
2116 | |
---|
2117 | - 1.06 : |
---|
2118 | |
---|
2119 | - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in |
---|
2120 | power saving state which couldn't answer immediately, |
---|
2121 | a bug was triggered. |
---|
2122 | It was caused by a bad copy/paste which |
---|
2123 | forgot to import a Python module at run time. |
---|
2124 | |
---|
2125 | - 1.05 : |
---|
2126 | |
---|
2127 | - External accounters are finally available ! |
---|
2128 | This means that you can plug any page accounting |
---|
2129 | method you like by setting the appropriate |
---|
2130 | 'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf |
---|
2131 | See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to |
---|
2132 | learn how to do. |
---|
2133 | |
---|
2134 | NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods |
---|
2135 | account a job size just before *this* job is |
---|
2136 | sent to the printer. |
---|
2137 | The original 'querying' method accounts a job |
---|
2138 | size just before *the next* job is sent to |
---|
2139 | the printer. |
---|
2140 | |
---|
2141 | - 1.05alpha3 : |
---|
2142 | |
---|
2143 | - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was |
---|
2144 | implemented to serve as an example on how to |
---|
2145 | do this sort of things. This method only counts |
---|
2146 | the 'showpage' statements in the input data. |
---|
2147 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
2148 | Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise |
---|
2149 | you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. |
---|
2150 | It is not reliable enough to be used. |
---|
2151 | Use the 'querying' accounting method instead. |
---|
2152 | |
---|
2153 | - 1.05alpha2 : |
---|
2154 | |
---|
2155 | - Pluggable accounting methods. |
---|
2156 | |
---|
2157 | - Better error handling. |
---|

---|
2159 | - 1.05alpha1 : |

2160 | |
---|
2161 | - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security. |
---|
2162 | |
---|
2163 | - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now |
---|
2164 | tried several times, waiting several seconds between |
---|
2165 | two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers |
---|
2166 | which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple |
---|
2167 | LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too) |
---|
2168 | |
---|
2169 | - Small display bug fixed in repykota |
---|
2170 | |
---|
2171 | - 1.04 : |
---|
2172 | |
---|
2173 | - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from |
---|
2174 | the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW, |
---|
2175 | since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results |
---|
2176 | (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons) |
---|
2177 | |
---|
2178 | - LPRng support works ! |
---|
2179 | |
---|
2180 | - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default |
---|
2181 | policy for unknown users. It is now corrected. |
---|
2182 | |
---|
2183 | - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each |
---|
2184 | printer, if they are defined. |
---|
2185 | |
---|
2186 | - Minor display bug fixed in repykota. |
---|
2187 | |
---|
2188 | - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed. |
---|
2189 | |
---|
2190 | - 1.03 : |
---|
2191 | |
---|
2192 | - Upgrade script included for earlier versions. |
---|
2193 | Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory. |
---|
2194 | THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE. |
---|
2195 | |
---|
2196 | - repykota now reports account balances too. |
---|
2197 | |
---|
2198 | - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos |
---|
2199 | subdirectory. |
---|
2200 | |
---|
2201 | - Manual pages were finally updated. |
---|
2202 | |
---|
2203 | - Group quotas seem to work now ! |
---|
2204 | |
---|
2205 | - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all |
---|
2206 | jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job, |
---|
2207 | and track users' account balance. |
---|
2208 | |
---|
2209 | - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to |
---|
2210 | use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for |
---|
2211 | details. |
---|
2212 | |
---|
2213 | - The installation script now allows to install the sample |
---|
2214 | configuration file during first installation. |
---|
2215 | |
---|
2216 | - More group quota code works, but still not finished. |
---|
2217 | |
---|
2218 | - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website. |
---|
2219 | |
---|
2220 | - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period |
---|
2221 | reports in the future. |
---|
2222 | |
---|
2223 | - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota, |
---|
2224 | a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about |
---|
2225 | a quota which is too low to print. |
---|
2226 | |
---|
2227 | - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal |
---|
2228 | page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so |
---|
2229 | if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter |
---|
2230 | may be lower than the real number of pages printed. |
---|
2231 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
2232 | We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to |
---|
2233 | abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2)) |
---|
2234 | in this case. |
---|
2235 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
2236 | off. |
---|
2237 | |
---|
2238 | - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile |
---|
2239 | page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on) |
---|
2240 | This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet |
---|
2241 | 4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing. |
---|
2242 | See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html |
---|
2243 | For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers |
---|
2244 | off. This is untested, please report any problem. |
---|
2245 | |
---|
2246 | - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already |
---|
2247 | had a quota on the specified printer. |
---|
2248 | |
---|

---|
2258 | print quota or by account balance. |
---|
2259 | |
---|
2260 | - 1.02 : |
---|
2261 | |
---|
2262 | - The installation script now checks for software availability |
---|
2263 | and in case a software is missing asks the user if he |
---|
2264 | wants to continue with the installation or abort it. |
---|
2265 | |
---|
2266 | - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be |
---|
2267 | found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups |
---|
2268 | The installation script prompts the user to see if he |
---|
2269 | wants to move an old configuration file to the new location |
---|
2270 | if needed. |
---|
2271 | |
---|
2272 | - Improved documentation. |

---|
2283 | |
---|

---|
2285 | to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : |
---|
2286 | |
---|
2287 | - DevNull means no one will receive them. |
---|
2288 | - User means only the user will receive them. |
---|
2289 | - Admin means only the admin will receive them. |
---|
2290 | - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. |
---|
2291 | |
---|
2292 | - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values |
---|
2293 | when an option is not set. See sample configuration file |
---|
2294 | for details. |
---|
2295 | |
---|
2296 | - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to |
---|
2297 | add this information to this file. |
---|
2298 | |
---|
2299 | - Redistribution terms for the official package have |
---|
2300 | softened and are now fully GPL compatible : |

---|
2303 | |
---|
2304 | - 1.00 : |
---|
2305 | |
---|
2306 | - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This |
---|
2307 | disable quota checking while still doing page |
---|
2308 | accounting. This is really useful for people |
---|
2309 | who don't want to limit their users but want |
---|
2310 | to know how much pages they print. |
---|
2311 | |
---|
2312 | - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve |
---|
2313 | the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. |
---|
2314 | |

---|
2318 | |
---|
2319 | - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed |
---|
2320 | to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is |
---|
2321 | now fixed. |
---|
2322 | |
---|
2323 | - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for |
---|
2324 | the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. |

---|
2335 | if the --add option is not set, e.g. : |
---|
2336 | |
---|
2337 | $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" |
---|
2338 | |
---|
2339 | - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" |
---|
2340 | which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. |
---|
2341 | |
---|
2342 | - Small bug fixes. |

---|
2347 | be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has |
---|
2348 | priority if both are defined. |
---|
2349 | |
---|
2350 | - More powerful configuration parser. |
---|
2351 | |
---|
2352 | - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to |
---|
2353 | define a section for each printer in the configuration |
---|
2354 | file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. |
---|
2355 | |
---|
2356 | - 0.95 : |
