79        - Introduced the 'askconfirmation' directive to interact with
80          the end user through any script (pknotify is recommended)
81          and see if he really wants to print when knowing the cost
82          of the job.
83

111   
112        - Improved documentation and packaging stuff.
113       
114    - 1.24beta (2006-03-26) :
115   
116        - Finalized the pknotify command.
117       
118        - Updated the messages catalogs for translations.
119       
120    - 1.24alpha18 (2006-03-15) :

134          with remote PyKotIcon applications.
135         
136    - 1.24alpha15 (2006-03-02) :
137       
138        - optimized pkbcodes, pkprinters and pkusers using edpykota as
139          the model.
140       
141        - 'edpykota --list' and 'pkusers --list' are now authorized
142          to mere mortal users, but the list is restricted to informations
143          about the current user.
144       
145        - Extended the functionnality of the 'onbackenderror' directive to
146          allow for configurable retries.
147         
148    - 1.24alpha14 :
149   
150        - Finished optimizations in edpykota and fixed some minor
151          problems with LDAP.
152         
153    - 1.24alpha13 :
154   
155        - Introduced the pkusers command line tool to manage users and 
156          users groups. This command doesn't deal with print quota entries,
157          which continue to be managed through the edpykota command line
158          tool.
159         
160        - Major rewrite and incompatible changes to command line options
161          in edpykota. This command now only deals with print quota
162          entries. Printers, users (or users groups) now have to be created
163          first using pkprinters or pkusers.
164         
165    - 1.24alpha12 :
166   
167        - Introduced the 'duplicatesdelay' directive to specify after
168          which duration two duplicate jobs are not considered duplicate
169          jobs anymore.
170         
171        - Introduced the 'balancezero' directive to specify any value 
172          as the balance limit instead of 0.0. This can allow admins to
173          give a few free credits to users, for example.
174         
175    - 1.24alpha11 :
176   
177        - Huge speed improvements when modifying billing codes and
178          printers.
179       
180        - Both pkbcodes and pkprinters now display the percent done
181          for all actions.
182         
183        - The pkinvoice invoice generator command line utility is now
184          included.
185         
186    - 1.24alpha10 :   
187   
188        - Huge speed improvements when deleting users, printers, and
189          billing codes.
190         
191    - 1.24alpha9 :
192   
193        - Preliminary support for MySQL, thanks to Matt Hyclak.
194       
195    - 1.24alpha8 :
196   
197        - The 'preaccounter' configuration directive was introduced to control
198          which parser to use for precomputation of the job's size. When unset,
199          the internal parser is used just like it was previously. See
200          conf/pykota.conf.sample for more details.
201         
202        - Now subprocesses launched through the overwrite_jobticket directive
203          can also output 'CANCEL', to represent the user's own choice to
204          cancel the print job.
205         
206    - 1.24alpha7 :
207     
208        - pkbanner now handles new print limiting modes correctly.
209       
210        - The cupspykota backend wrapper now accepts to be interrupted
211          with a kill -INT. This causes an immediate and clean abort
212          of the current print job.
213         
214        - Matt Hyclak contributed the possibility to store the printing
215          history in a MySQL database. See the contributed/ directory
216          for details.
217         
218        - Added 2006 to the copyright's years.
219       
220    - 1.24alpha6 :
221   
222        - Fixed internal SNMP and PJL handling code for very fast
223          printers : PyKota didn't see them going from 'idle'
224          to 'printing' to 'idle' again.
225         
226        - Now waitprinter.sh accepts SNMP version number and
227          community name as arguments, thanks to Brandon
228          Holbrook.
229         
230        - Now command line errors and Ctrl+C repectively cause
231          PyKota commands to exit with status -2 and -3.
232         
233    - 1.24alpha5 :
234   
235        - All command line tools now accept -A | --arguments filename.args
236          as a way to bypass the shell's maximal command line size :
237          just put each argument on a line by itself in a file, and
238          pass the file's name as the -A | --arguments command line
239          option's argument. For now this won't be documented in
240          commands' helps.
241         
242        - dumpykota can now dump the complete database in XML
243          format.
244         
245    - 1.24alpha4 :
246   
247        - Added support for the SQLite3 backend.
248          See pykota/initscripts/sqlite/README.sqlite
249       
250    - 1.24alpha3 :
251   
252        - Fix for mailandpopup.sh : smbstatus can't be run setuid,
253          so we regain priviledges before running an external
254          mailto directive.
255       
256    - 1.24alpha2 :
257   
258        - Introduce the "onbackenderror" directive in pykota.conf, to
259          control if the user must be charged or not whenever a real
260          CUPS backend fails. The default value is 'nocharge'.
261          Set it to 'charge' if you think your users can cause a CUPS
262          backend to fail.
263         
264        - Now mark original backends related problems as such in the
265          printing history. Modified printquota.cgi and pykota.css
266          to make them be more visible.
267         
268    - 1.24alpha1 :
269   
270        - Fixed a problem which caused backend errors to be ignored.
271       
272        - The sample LDIF file now contains the two necessary user
273          entries to have an LDAP PyKota Admin and an LDAP PyKota
274          ReadOnly user. The sample configuration files were updated
275          to contain the default passwords used in the LDIF file.
276         
277        - dumpykota is now more strict when checking arguments.   
278       
279    - 1.23 :
280   
281        - Many minor bug fixes and code cleaning.
282       
283        - Improved documentation.
284       
285        - Added Polish translation.
286       
287        - Improved French and Swedish translations.
288       
289    - 1.23beta :
290   
291        - Now the mailto directive is honored in all cases where the job is
292          denied or a warning has to be issued, and the correct reason
293          can be sent back to the user.
294         
295        - The PYKOTAREASON environment variable, if defined, contains the 
296          textual reason why the job was denied or a warning has to be
297          issued.
298       
299    - 1.23alpha31 :
300   
301        - Added support for --maxjobsize, --passthrough and --nopassthrough
302          in pkprinters. These modes are now also honored when printing.
303         
304        - Allows the admin to restrict the number of print queues which will
305          be treated by pkturnkey by passing queues' names as additionnal
306          arguments on pkturnkey's command line.
307         
308        - pkturnkey now supersedes pkhint with the help of the -c | --doconf
309          command line option.   
310         
311    - 1.23alpha30 :
312   
313        - Database changes : you MUST use upgrade-to-1.23.sql again if you
314          use PostgreSQL, or copy the new schema and restart your LDAP
315          server if you use LDAP.
316         
317        - The -C | --comment command line switch was added to edpykota to 
318          attach textual information to modifications done to a user's
319          account balance.
320         
321        - The -l | --limitby command line switch to edpykota was modified 
322          to allow 'noquota', 'nochange', and 'noprint'. See the edpykota
323          command's help or manual page for details.
324         
325        - The -i | --ingroups command line switch to repykota allows 
326          PyKota Administrators to only lists members of the specified
327          group or groups (separated with commas).
328         
329        - The -I | --increase command line switch to edpykota allows
330          to increase or decrease page limits.
331         
332        - Added the precomputed job's size and price to the history
333          for controlling purpose.
334       
335    - 1.23alpha29 :
336   
337        - Fixed a small problem with billing codes.
338       
339        - Exports some environment variables earlier, to render the script
340          launched by the overwrite_jobticket directive more powerful.
341         
342        - Now autopykota also creates print quota entries for the user on the
343          printers groups the current printer is a member of.
344         
345    - 1.23alpha28 :
346   
347        - Added users groups management to pkturnkey.
348       
349        - Fixed umask in setup script.
350       
351    - 1.23alpha27 :
352   
353        - Replaced the --dryrun command line option by the --force
354          command line option in pkturnkey, with exactly the opposite
355          effect (for security reasons).
356         
357    - 1.23alpha26 :
358   
359        - Allows parametrized pjl and snmp hardware accounting methods,
360          to be able to respectively set the TCP port and the SNMP
361          community.
362         
363    - 1.23alpha25 :
364   
365        - Added a --dryrun command line switch to pkturnkey.
366       
367        - Improved pkturnkey's general usability.
368       
369        - Added a manpage for pkturnkey.
370       
371    - 1.23alpha24 :
372   
373        - Allows different databases to be used depending on the
374          user's rights. This allows PyKota admins to directly
375          use a master LDAP server for read+write, while letting
376          normal users using the replicas for readonly access.
377          NB : using different storage backends is also possible,
378          but you're on your own there.
379         
380    - 1.23alpha23 :
381   
382        - Fixed a problem with banner accounting.
383   
384        - Introduction of the new 'pkturnkey' command line tool.
385       
386    - 1.23alpha22 :
387   
388        - The cupspykota backend was almost entirely rewritten from scratch.
389          It's now much more readable, maintainable, etc...
390         
391        - LPRng support is OFFICIALLY dropped for now. LPRng users are 
392          advised to download earlier releases or purchase the
393          PyKota v1.22HotFix1 Official release. LPRng support
394          MIGHT be re-added later.
395       
396    - 1.23alpha21 :
397     
398        - Fix for IPP requests which contain more than a single
399          job-originating-host-name attribute.
400         
401    - 1.23alpha20 :
402   
403        - Added the overwrite_jobticket directive. See pykota.conf.sample
404          for how to use it.
405         
406    - 1.23alpha19 :
407   
408        - Fixed an LDAP filtering problem when managing billing codes.
409       
410        - Added the unknown_billingcode directive. See pykota.conf.sample
411          for how to use it.
412       
413    - 1.23alpha18 :
414     
415        - Added the dump_bfd.php contribution.
416       
417        - Several fixes in the internal PJL accounter.
418       
419        - Now autopykota doesn't create unneeded print quota entries anymore.
420       
421        - Increased the timeout in the PJL hardware accounting code to
422          accomodate some printers (HP5000 at least).
423         
424    - 1.23alpha17 :
425   
426        - pkpgcounter is now distributed separately only. This
427          means that people must now download and install pkpgcounter
428          v1.56 or higher prior to being able to run PyKota.
429         
430        - Removed all the autoconf/automake stuff which was outdated 
431          and confusing.
432         
433    - 1.23alpha16 :
434     
435        - Extracted the GPL blurb from all commands' help, and use
436          a static version only once. This saves space big time, and
437          eases future translations.
438         
439    - 1.23alpha15 :
440   
441        - pkbcodes now works with the PostgreSQL backend.
442          NB : PLEASE RUN upgrade-to-1.23.sql AGAIN !!!
443       
444    - 1.23alpha14 :
445   
446        - Logs a warning when the user/group doesn't exist when running
447          edpykota.
448         
449    - 1.23alpha13 :
450   
451        - Minor fix for user groups because of latest database changes.
452       
453    - 1.23alpha12 :
454   
455        - Big database changes, use the migration scripts !
456       
457    - 1.23alpha11 :
458   
459        - Small fix to the PCL3/4/5 parser for some drivers.
460       
461    - 1.23alpha10 :
462   
463        - Fixed a bad exception name in cupspykota when parsing IPP messages.
464       
465        - Improved the IPP messages module : it can now generate IPP messages
466          in addition to parsing them.
467       
468    - 1.23alpha9 :   
469   
470        - The denyduplicates directive now accepts a command line as an
471          argument beside yes/no. The command is launched and must
472          print either ALLOW or DENY to its standard output. Then the
473          job gets allowed or denied by PyKota.
474          This will allow user interaction in the near future.
475         
476        - Introduced the new 'striptitle' directive to remove ugly prefixes
477          from print job's titles whenever a new print job is submitted.
478         
479        - Fixed internal SNMP accounter for printers which only have a life time
480          page counter, and not a volatile page counter.
481         
482    - 1.23alpha8 :
483   
484        - The data dumper can now summarize payments and history with the
485          help of the --sum command line option (or checkbox in the CGI).
486         
487        - The message used when the job's filename, title and options are
488          hidden because of the privacy directive is now translated at
489          retrieval time, instead of at saving time.
490

505    - 1.23alpha5 :
506   
507        - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now accept

512        - The data dumper now accept start= and end= to specify the starting
513          and ending dates to dump the history.
514         
515    - 1.23alpha3 :
516   
517        - The destination link for the logo used in CGI scripts is

604         
605        - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota
606          from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed.

645        - Allows software() (no arguments) to the software accounting
646          directive. This saves a lot of CPU since the job is not
647          parsed again : the precomputed size is used directly in this
648          case.
649         
650        - epykota's --prototype option now works fine with accounts
651          limited by balance.

667          to workaround some problematic printers. See the sample
668          configuration file for details.
669         
670    - 1.21alpha24 :
671   
672        - Big database structure changes. An upgrade script
673          is now included for PostgreSQL. LDAP users may just
674          want to copy the new schema in place.
675         
676        - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line
677          option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor
678          on each print job's cost for a particular user.
679         
680        - repykota's output format has changed an is not limited to 
681          80 characters wide anymore. People who used to parse
682          repykota's output in their own tools are strongly advised
683          to parse dumpykota's output instead.
684         
685        - Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' configuration directive
686          to allow up to N (the directive's value) deny banners to be
687          printed even if the print account is forbidden to print.

697    - 1.21alpha22 :
698   
699        - edpykota's --delete command line option doesn't consider
700          '*' to be the default argument anymore :-)
701         
702    - 1.21alpha21 :
703   
704        - dumpykota.cgi can now be run as a normal user as opposed to
705          a PyKota administrator. No read access to pykotadmin.conf is
706          necessary anymore. This CGI scripts now honors the REMOTE_USER
707          environment variable just like printquota.cgi does, see
708          the file cgi-bin/README for details.
709          The command line tool dumpykota must still be run by a PyKota
710          administrator.
711         
712        - Fix exception's name error due to a change in recent versions
713          of PygreSQL.

718         
719    - 1.21alpha19 :
720   
721        - Introduction of the new dumpykota.cgi CGI script, which
722          allows third party tools like phpPrintAnalyzer to be
723          interfaced in real time with PyKota. To use it you
724          may have to change your web server's configuration,
725          please see pykota/cgi-bin/README
726         
727    - 1.21alpha18 :
728   
729        - Now dumpykota can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log
730          format (even when the printing system is LPRng). This allows
731          people to use tools like PrintAnalyzer or phpPrintAnalyzer
732          (two completely different beasts) with PyKota.
733         
734    - 1.21alpha17 :
735     
736        - Fixed field type's name in XML dumps.

754          the LDAP backend too.
755         
756    - 1.21alpha14 :
757   
758        - dumpykota now supports extended filtering possibilities
759          with the PostgreSQL backend (LDAP support will come soon).
760         
761    - 1.21alpha13 :
762   
763        - Added a --debug command line option to pkpgcounter, so
764          that people may see what really happens, and what will
765          be available in the future :-)
766         
767    - 1.21alpha12 :
768   
769        - Fixed a bug with non standard pkbanner command lines.

775   
776        - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly

779          See the sample configuration file for details.
780         
781        - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan
782          Wold for the patch.
783          See the sample configuration file for details.
784         
785        - edpkota now accepts the -U | --used value command line argument
786          to preset the page counters to an initial value. Thanks to
787          Wilson Roberto Afonso and Matt Hyclak for the patch.
788         
789    - 1.21alpha10 :
790   
791        - Now automatically reconnects up to three times if the LDAP server
792          returned an error, possibly due to a timeout.
793         
794    - 1.21alpha9 :
795   
796        - Now searches the configuration files in 'pykota' system user's
797          home directory. The 'pykota' system user and group have
798          to be created by the system administrator, and given
799          sufficient permissions to PyKota's configuration files.
800

972    - 1.20alpha15 :
973   
974        - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created
975          attached to the pykotaUser objects. This is now
976          fixed and the value of balancebase in pykota.conf
977          is now correctly used.
978         
979    - 1.20alpha14 :

986        - pkhint now suggest the internal snmp handling instead
987          of the external one.
988         
989    - 1.20alpha13 :
990     
991        - Hardware accounter now accepts the special
992          'snmp' value, meaning ALL is done from main code
993          without launching any subprocess.
994          You need the http://pysnmp.sf.net Python module
995          for this to work (tested with v3.4.2)
996         
997        - Increased delay between two loops iterations 
998          to 2 seconds in waitprinter.sh to diminish
999          CPU load.
1000         
1001    - 1.20alpha12 :
1002   
1003        - waitprinter.sh rewritten from scratch to wait
1004          for printer status stabilization.
1005       
1006    - 1.20alpha11 :
1007   
1008        - Generic data dumper 'dumpykota' introduced.
1009          Works only with PostgreSQL backend for now.
1010         
1011    - 1.20alpha10 :
1012   
1013        - Added fix for incorrect job's size computation when
1014          hardware accounting fails.
1015         
1016    - 1.20alpha9 :
1017   
1018        - Small fixes wrt subprocesses.
1019       
1020    - 1.20alpha8 :
1021   
1022        - Added full support of PCL3 : HP Deskjet printers are now
1023          supported.
1024       
1025    - 1.20alpha7 :
1026   
1027        - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer.
1028          Needs more work, but no documentation is available.
1029       
1030    - 1.20alpha6 :
1031     
1032        - Improved mailandpopup.sh script.
1033       
1034        - Small fixes for LPRng.
1035       
1036        - Now exports PYKOTAPRINTERHOSTNAME for network printers'
1037          hostname or IP address. Set to 'localhost' when not
1038          meaningful.
1039         
1040        - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules
1041          fills the REMOTE_USER environment variable.
1042         
1043        - Fixed a bug in LDAP user deletion code.
1044       
1045    - 1.20alpha5 :
1046     
1047        - Introduces the new configuration directive 'onaccountererror'
1048          to specify what must be done whenever the software or
1049          hardware accounter fails. Allowed values are 'continue' and
1050          'stop' (default).
1051         
1052        - Minor fix in software accounter for a recently introduced
1053          problem.
1054         
1055    - 1.20alpha4 :
1056   
1057        - Added support for more ghostscript devices in ESC/P2
1058          analyzer : stcolor, st800, escp, escpc are now supported.
1059         
1060    - 1.20alpha3 :
1061       
1062        - Small improvement in PostScript parser to avoid being
1063          fooled by a change in number of copies :
1064          The user can't ask for 200 copies of page 1 and 1 copy
1065          of page 2 to fool PyKota anymore :
1066          this would have been accounted for as 1 copy only, but
1067          now the maximum value seen is used.
1068         
1069        - Relax checks for PCL5 header to accomodate some strange
1070          printer drivers.
1071         
1072        - Now hardware accounting method works like software
1073          accounting method wrt the subprocess' output.
1074         
1075        - Hardware and Software accounting stop the print queue 
1076          when the accounting subprocess didn't work. This will
1077          be configurable in the near future.
1078         
1079    - 1.20alpha2 :
1080   
1081        - Now software accounting method reads accounter's
1082          answer until a line with a single integer is
1083          obtained or until all of its output has been read.
1084          This should fix the problem some people have
1085          when strange locale related messages are sent
1086          when running subprocesses (Solaris only ?).
1087         
1088        - First version of ESC/P2 analyzer. Seems to work
1089          ok at least with 'epson', 'epsonc', 'eps9mid'
1090          and 'esp9high' ghostscript devices. Needs more
1091          work to correctly analyze other devices.
1092       
1093    - 1.20alpha1 :
1094   
1095        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCLXL parser.
1096       
1097        - Fixed problem with number of copies in PCL5 parser,
1098          when number of copies was set outside of and before first
1099          page.
1100       
1101        - Added workaround for number of copies directly set in
1102          PostScript code.
1103         
1104        - Added german translation.
1105       
1106        - Fixed problem on first print for user group quota when
1107          "enforcement: strict" is used.
1108       
1109        - Fixed interpolation problem in french translation.
1110       
1111    - 1.19 :
1112   
1113        - Updated existing translations.   
1114       
1115        - Added final Thai and Greek translations.
1116       
1117        - Minor last minute bug fixes.
1118       
1119    - 1.19beta :
1120   
1121        - LPRng support for both software and hardware accounting seems
1122          to be OK.
1123         
1124        - Translation files fixed because of fuzzy matching problem. 
1125       
1126        - Fixed path to Swedish translation: 'sv' instead of 'se'.
1127       
1128        - Added first draft of Thai translation.
1129       
1130        - Fixed some minor bugs with Pychecker.
1131       
1132    - 1.19alpha35 :
1133   
1134        - Generic PDL analyzer now supports Binary PostScript documents
1135          in addition to DSC compliant ones.
1136       
1137    - 1.19alpha34 :
1138   
1139        - LPRng support : software accounting seems to work fine,
1140          but hardware accounting doesn't work yet.
1141   
1142    - 1.19alpha33 :
1143   
1144        - pykosd now accepts command line arguments. Enjoy !
1145          NB : due to a bug in xosd, you need xosd version 2.2.8
1146          or higher if you don't use the default C locale.
1147         
1148    - 1.19alpha32 :
1149   
1150        - Early (not working) version of the LPRng support rewrite.
1151       
1152        - Saner default configuration file.
1153       
1154    - 1.19alpha31 :
1155   
1156        - Fixed a double Python2.1 incompatibility with newer versions,
1157          which prevented the PCL5 and the PCLXL parsers to work with
1158          this older version of Python.
1159         
1160    - 1.19alpha30 :
1161   
1162        - Introduction of preliminary version of the pykosd command
1163       
1164        - Usernames, Groupnames and Printernames can now contain
1165          ANY character, expected '/' and '@'.
1166       
1167        - Integrated most of the Debian work from Sergio
1168          Gonz�z Gonz�z
1169         
1170    - 1.19alpha29 :
1171   
1172        - PCLXL parser should now correctly handle number of
1173          copies set for each page.
1174         
1175        - Added testsuite for generic PDL analyzer.
1176       
1177        - Typo fixed in PCLXL parser.
1178       
1179        - Correctly dispatches error messages depending on the
1180          situation : tools which can be run interactively will
1181          ALWAYS output their logs to stderr, excepted for
1182          their DEBUG messages, for which the "logger:"
1183          directive as set in pykota.conf will be honored.
1184          Tools which can't be run interactively will ALWAYS
1185          honor the "logger:" directive as set in pykota.conf
1186         
1187    - 1.19alpha28 :
1188   
1189        - The description field for printers can now be set,
1190          and is displayed in reports.
1191         
1192        - Fixed a small problem in SQL backend code.
1193         
1194        - Improved pkhint
1195       
1196        - First working PCL6 (aka PCLXL) parser !
1197          Doesn't handle copies yet.
1198       
1199    - 1.19alpha27 :
1200   
1201        - Additionnal 10% speed increase in PCL5 parser for GhostScript
1202          generated files (untested yet with other PCL files).
1203         
1204        - Reintroduced the use of mmap in PCL5 parser : this speedups
1205          PCL5 parsing by almost 4 times.
1206          This 4x with the 3x below give us in fact a twelvefold increase
1207          in performance for PCL5 parsing !
1208         
1209        - The Python accelerator Psyco is now used if available
1210          in the generic PDL parser : it speedups PCL5 parsing by
1211          almost three times automagically.
1212         
1213    - 1.19alpha26 :
1214   
1215        - Fixed PCL5 parser according to the sources of rastertohp.
1216       
1217        - Fixed number of copies handling in PCL5 parser : the number
1218          of copies could vary from page to page.
1219         
1220        - Added more debug information to PCLXL parser. 
1221       
1222    - 1.19alpha25 :
1223   
1224        - Added new "description" field to printers in both
1225          PostgreSQL and LDAP. No code to handle this yet.
1226         
1227        - Reversed the fix for power save mode in printers : 
1228          no paper or tray open would have caused people to
1229          be undercharged.
1230         
1231        - Preliminary version of MySQL initialization script.
1232         
1233    - 1.19alpha24 :
1234   
1235        - Native PDF parsing code now works perfectly with
1236          Python 2.1 and above, and is way faster than before.
1237          GhostScript is not used anymore to convert PDF to PS,
1238          because PDF is parsed directly.
1239         
1240    - 1.19alpha23 :
1241   
1242        - Fixed waitprinter.sh wrt PowerSave mode and some
1243          printers. Thanks to Ryan Suarez.
1244       
1245        - Smart PDL analyzer now recognizes PDF too : two
1246          PDF parsing methods are used : a native one which
1247          is very fast but requires Python 2.3 or above, and
1248          a slower one which uses Ghostscript. PyKota detects
1249          automatically which method to use depending on your
1250          version of Python.
1251       
1252        - All tracebacks now include PyKota's version number.
1253         
1254    - 1.19alpha22 :
1255   
1256        - Ensures that the file pointer for job's data is
1257          reset to the start of the job's datas after the
1258          job's size pre-computation phase.
1259         
1260        - Improved PostScript detection code for bad drivers
1261          which don't correctly switch languages between PJL
1262          and PS.
1263       
1264        - Even better debugging code.
1265       
1266    - 1.19alpha21 :
1267   
1268        - Additionnal check.
1269       
1270    - 1.19alpha20 :
1271   
1272        - More complete logging messages wrt accounters.
1273       
1274        - Now catches early failures occuring when the configuration
1275          files are parsed.
1276       
1277    - 1.19alpha19 :
1278   
1279        - Fixed over-verbose exits when displaying help
1280          or version.
1281         
1282        - Extended some PATH in the shell scripts 
1283       
1284        - Deleting an user now also deletes his payments history.
1285       
1286        - Doesn't explicitely ignore SIGCHLD anymore. This seems to
1287          cause problems.
1288
1289    - 1.19alpha18 :
1290   
1291        - History of payments is now stored in the database, and
1292          updated each time an user's balance is modified with
1293          edpykota --balance. This history represents each time
1294          the user was given some positive or negative credit,
1295          but doesn't reflect price paid for jobs, which appear
1296          in the jobs history instead.
1297         
1298        - Jobs history web reports now include the job's size in
1299          bytes. Also columns were reordered to render the report
1300          more easily readable.
1301         
1302    - 1.19alpha17 :
1303   
1304        - Mysterious bug (program exited unexpectedly without leaving
1305          any log message) which occured once in a while when
1306          cancelling jobs should be fixed now.
1307         
1308        - New 'crashrecipient' directive. Disabled by 
1309          default. See sample configuration file to see how
1310          to activate it. It is suggested that you activate it.
1311         
1312        - New PYKOTAJOBSIZEBYTES environment variable exported, 
1313          which contains the job's size in bytes. Empty jobs
1314          are now denied. This value is now stored in the job
1315          history (but not yet displayed from the web interface)
1316         
1317        - Preliminary work on payments storage : the PostgreSQL 
1318          and LDAP schemas should be OK now, but no code is written
1319          yet to support this functionnality.
1320         
1321    - 1.19alpha16 :
1322   
1323        - the newuser and newgroup LDAP specific directives now accept
1324          a second parameter to attach(), "fail" or "warn". If no entry
1325          is found to attach PyKota attributes to, and "fail" was used,
1326          then action is aborted and program exits in error. If "warn"
1327          is used, a new entry is created but a warning message is logged.
1328         
1329        - The job's originating hostname is now stored in the database,
1330          and exported as PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME in the environment.
1331       
1332    - 1.19alpha15 :
1333   
1334        - The old pykota filter is now removed. This means that
1335          currently PyKota doesn't support LPRng anymore, but
1336          LPRng support will be re-added, improved, in the near future.
1337         
1338    - 1.19alpha14 :
1339   
1340        - PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE and PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE
1341          are now exported as environment variables.
1342         
1343        - Heavy CPU usage is now completely fixed it seems, by
1344          introducing some 0.01 second sleeping when nothing to do.
1345         
1346        - Pre-computation of the job's size is now only
1347          done when enforcement is "STRICT", this saves
1348          CPU for people who don't want to use this new
1349          feature.
1350         
1351        - New 'enforcement' directive which accepts either
1352          STRICT or LAXIST. See sample configuration file
1353          for details.
1354         
1355    - 1.19alpha13 :
1356   
1357        - Get back to an old version of the polling loop which
1358          worked fine, but non-optimally. Will be optimized
1359          as time permits.
1360         
1361    - 1.19alpha12 :
1362   
1363        - Job's size is now precomputed unconditionnally using
1364          the generic PDL analyzer.
1365          NB : This value is not yet used to pre-allow/deny the
1366          job.
1367       
1368    - 1.19alpha11 :
1369   
1370        - The pykota filter is now completely deprecated and
1371          can't be used anymore. LPRng users MUST download
1372          an older version of PyKota. CUPS users MUST use
1373          cupspykota. Better support for LPRng will come
1374          in the near future.
1375         
1376    - 1.19alpha10 :
1377   
1378        - pykotme now uses generic PDL Analyzer directly instead
1379          of spawning a new process.
1380         
1381        - Improvements to generic PDL Analyzer.
1382       
1383        - 25% Speedup in PCL parser. Getting more of the Python version
1384          will probably be difficult, since the completely table driven
1385          parser I wrote is slower than the original algorithm. Then,
1386          the original algorithm is still used for now.
1387          Probable that more speed could be achieved using mmap, at the
1388          expense of severe memory consumption.
1389       
1390        - configuration simplifications : the "accounter" directive's
1391          'hardware' arguments now accepts what was in the "requester"
1392          directive as it's content. The "requester" directive is not
1393          supported anymore. See sample configuration file for details.
1394       
1395    - 1.19alpha9 :
1396       
1397        - pkpgcounter is now just a wrapper around the PDLAnalyzer class
1398       
1399        - pykotaOptions LDAP attribute now accepts non-ascii characters
1400          too.
1401         
1402        - First try at cupspykota main loop rewrite
1403       
1404    - 1.19alpha8 :
1405   
1406        - 'querying' accounting method is now called 'hardware'
1407       
1408        - 'external' accounting method is now called 'software'
1409       
1410        - 'stupid' accounting method doesn't exist anymore
1411       
1412        - 'snmp' requester doesn't exist anymore
1413       
1414        - code simplifications in external requester
1415       
1416    - 1.19alpha7 :
1417     
1418        - Database schema change (both LDAP and PostgreSQL) to
1419          allow storage of the job-originating-hostname attribute.
1420          An SQL upgrade script is present. The code is not yet
1421          capable of setting/retrieving this attribute. Support
1422          for this functionnality will be added in the future.
1423         
1424    - 1.19alpha6 :
1425   
1426        - problems connecting to SMTP servers are now catched.
1427       
1428        - pykotme now uses pkpgcounter to compute the size of the
1429          job. This modification adds PCL5 and soon PCLXL (PCL6)
1430          support. You can now get quotes for PCL in addition to
1431          PostScript.
1432         
1433        - pkpgcounter now includes first try at PCLXL parser. 
1434          It is currently disabled until it's finished.
1435         
1436    - 1.19alpha5 :
1437   
1438        - cupspykota polling loop fix for MacOSX (at least)
1439       
1440        - logging subsystem now logs PID too, to ease diagnosing
1441          problems under heavy load.
1442         
1443        - pkpgcounter enhancements.
1444       
1445        - pkprinters --skipexisting now tells pkprinters to not
1446          modify existing printers when --add is used.
1447          pkprinters logs a warning message whenever --add is
1448          used and a printer already exists.
1449         
1450        - LDAP schema now allows accented chars in pykotaFileName

1457         
1458        - improved PCL support in pkpgcounter, with the use of
1459          HP PCL/PJL Reference Set
1460          PCL5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference Guide
1461       
1462        - pkpgcounter now uses mmap to speed things up : duration
1463          is halved with the sample 87 pages PCL document I use for
1464          testing.
1465         
1466    - 1.19alpha3 :
1467   
1468        - pkprinters now accepts the --list command line argument
1469          to list informations about printers.

1474          accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL.
1475         
1476    - 1.19alpha1 :
1477   
1478        - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too.

1495       
1496        - Improved translations
1497       
1498        - Improved documentation
1499       
1500    - 1.18alpha15 :
1501
1502        - waitprinter.sh replaced by a new and possibly faster
1503          and more powerful one.
1504   
1505        - Names can now begin with a digit.

1511        - Catches more (all ?) problems with SMTP servers instead
1512          of breaking.
1513         
1514        - Italian translation added.
1515       
1516    - 1.18alpha13 :
1517   
1518        - Pre and Post hooks are now available in the pykota
1519          filter as well.
1520         
1521        - The pykota filter doesn't check last user's quota
1522          anymore when delayed hardware accounting is used :
1523          this will be done anyway the next time the last
1524          user will print again. This saves some database
1525          queries which are unneeded.
1526       
1527    - 1.18alpha12 :
1528   
1529        - Pre and Post hooks to external commands with many
1530          many environment variables available are useable
1531          from the cupspykota backend.
1532          See sample configuration file for details and help.
1533         
1534    - 1.18alpha11 :

1573          Peter Hawkins are now included in the project's tree.
1574         
1575        - Preliminary work on future low-level LDAP caching to speed
1576          up modifications (at least).
1577         
1578    - 1.18alpha4 :
1579   
1580        - Applied some of the modifications suggested by
1581          Peter Hawkins, for better Debian integration.
1582          Most notably cupspykota, pykota, and the shell
1583          scripts are now installed into /usr/share/pykota
1584          instead of into /usr/bin
1585          BEWARE : double check that your symbolic link
1586          to cupspykota is correct, and that your pykota.conf
1587          file use correct path for the shell scripts like
1588          waitprinter.sh and al.
1589         
1590        - pkhint command added, to help in configuring correct

1628          though.
1629       
1630        - Portuguese Portuguese translation replaces Brazilian
1631          Portuguese Translation. Brazilian portuguese
1632          translation is still available under the 'br' locale.
1633

1643          printing in CUPS backend.
1644         
1645        - Big fix wrt printing policies for unknown users. 
1646       
1647    - 1.16beta1 :
1648   
1649        - Manpages upgraded.
1650       
1651    - 1.16alpha26 :
1652

1654       
1655          SUM((NbPages * PricePerPage) + PricePerJob)
1656         
1657          For current printer and all the printers groups it is
1658          a member of, if any.
1659         
1660          This may be difficult to grasp, but offers unprecedented
1661          flexibility.

1701       
1702    - 1.16alpha18 :
1703   
1704        - Initial code for printer groups support. Printer groups have
1705          to be added with external tools like psql or gq for example.
1706          Printer groups seems to work fine with users. Untested with user
1707          groups for now.
1708
1709        - Several minor visual problems fixed in reports.
1710       
1711        - Fixed a bug in LDAP date handling.

1721           
1722            PYKOTAUSERNAME => user who is printing
1723            PYKOTAPRINTERNAME => printer on which the job is being sent
1724            PYKOTATITLE => Job's title
1725            PYKOTAFILENAME => Job's filename
1726            PYKOTACOPIES => number of copies asked
1727            PYKOTAOPTIONS => print command options (-o with CUPS)

1754    - 1.16alpha13 :
1755   
1756        - Small bugfix wrt Python v2.1
1757       
1758        - If username is an empty string, user root is assumed.
1759       
1760        - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend,
1761          you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to
1762          be supported for compatibility with very old PyKota versions,
1763          this is not the case anymore.
1764         
1765    - 1.16alpha12 :
1766   
1767        - Job price added to job history, to keep accounting correct
1768          if a printer price per page or per job is modified and the
1769          history is not reset : the history would have given a false
1770          amount of money charged before the printer's prices were
1771          modified, this addition solves the problem.
1772         
1773    - 1.16alpha11 :
1774   
1775        - Some preliminary modifications to the database structure for
1776          PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP. A script to upgrade a PostgreSQL
1777          database is now provided. LDAP attributes now support
1778          eq, pres and sub indexes.
1779         
1780        - Job history now contains additional informations : 
1781          number of copies, filename, title and print options.
1782         
1783    - 1.16alpha10 :
1784       
1785        - Some modifications done to external policy handling.
1786          See sample configuration file for details.
1787   
1788        - Spanish translation added.
1789       
1790    - 1.16alpha9 :
1791   
1792        - mailto can be set to external(...) to warn users above
1793          quota with any command of your choice (e.g. linpopup).
1794          Several parameters are available, see sample configuration
1795          file for details.
1796         
1797    - 1.16alpha8 :
1798   
1799        - Now cupspykota transmits SIGTERMS to the original 
1800          backend when the user deletes a job being processed.

1807        - The CUPS backend is now fully functionnal (it seems).
1808       
1809        - From now on, the use of the pykota filter with CUPS
1810          is deprecated. The pykota filter still has to be
1811          used with LPRng though.
1812       
1813    - 1.16alpha6 :
1814   
1815        - Bug fixed : when edpykota was used to add a printer
1816          with no user or group name, a bad user/group name "*" was
1817          added to the database.
1818         
1819    - 1.16alpha5 :
1820   
1821        - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration !
1822          This means that NO manual CUPS configuration has to
1823          be done. All can now be done from CUPS web interface.
1824       
1825    - 1.16alpha4 :
1826   
1827        - New CUPS backend added.

1850          names or wildcards, separated with commas.
1851         
1852    - 1.15alpha9 :
1853   
1854        - External policy can be used to auto-add unknown users
1855          and any other interesting things you may want to do.
1856          WARNING : You can't auto-add printers for now.
1857          They have to be created manually before.
1858          Look at sample configuration file for examples.
1859         
1860    - 1.15alpha8 :
1861   
1862        - Job history can be disabled if needed.
1863          This feature may be useful for people who use the LDAP
1864          backend and don't want their LDAP tree to grow out of
1865          control.
1866       
1867    - 1.15alpha7 :

1880   
1881        - Problem with Python 2.3 fixed. Needs some definitive
1882          modification.
1883         
1884    - 1.15alpha3 :
1885   
1886        - CGI script now tries to restrict view when the
1887          REMOTE_USER environment variable is set. This allows
1888          people to protect its use with .htaccess files.
1889          When unprotected, or if REMOTE_USER is 'root', then
1890          unrestricted access is granted.
1891          NB : REMOTE_USER is automatically set by the web server
1892          (e.g. Apache) when a page with restricted access is viewed.
1893         
1894    - 1.15alpha2 :

1907          exit. The LDAP database connection too, but it didn't suffer
1908          from the problem anyway, AFAICT.
1909       
1910    - 1.14beta2 :
1911   
1912        - An LDAP-specific configuration field was introduced, usermail.
1913          Use it to specify which LDAP attribute contains a valid email
1914          address for the user. See sample configuration file for
1915          details.
1916       
1917    - 1.14beta :
1918   
1919        - Two new LDAP-specific configuration fields were introduced,
1920          newuser and newgroup. Use them to specify if you want to add

1932    - 1.14alpha8 :
1933   
1934        - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for
1935          SNMP enabled printers to be idle again before
1936          asking for their internal page counter.
1937          See sample configuration file for details.
1938         
1939    - 1.14alpha7 :
1940   
1941        - edpykota now doesn't check if the user/group is above
1942          quota. The check is only done at print time. This
1943          prevents the sending of email messages when creating
1944          user quotas if quota is already reached at creation
1945          time.
1946         
1947    - 1.14alpha6 :
1948   
1949        - Configuration file split and moved to /etc/pykota/pykota.conf
1950          and /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf to prevent simple users to
1951          have Read/Write access to the Quota Database.
1952          Don't forget to :
1953         
1954                $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf
1955               
1956        - storageuser and storageuserpw configuration fields reintroduced
1957          for the same reason.
1958         
1959        - Code cleaning for future implementation of email addresses
1960          support in the PostgreSQL and LDAP backends.
1961         
1962    - 1.14alpha5 :
1963       
1964        - Big bug fixed when changing the prices for a printer
1965       
1966    - 1.14alpha4 :
1967   
1968        - When adding an user, the user itself and its account balance
1969          are now added in the same LDAP entry. Before they were added
1970          as two different LDAP entries.
1971         
1972    - 1.14alpha3 :
1973   
1974        - Email field added to PostgreSQL database. An upgrade script
1975          is included in initscripts/postgresql.
1976       
1977    - 1.14alpha2 :
1978   
1979        - Typo fixed when using the --prototype option to edpykota
1980       
1981    - 1.14alpha1 :
1982   
1983        - Poor man's treshold included : users with a low account
1984          balance (below 1.0 by default, configurable) are sent
1985          a warning message.
1986         
1987        - All warning messages to users are now configurable. 
1988          NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not.
1989       
1990    - 1.13 :
1991   
1992        - Some small fixes wrt group handling.
1993       
1994        - The whole module code was passed through PyChecker and
1995          several small code inconsistencies were fixed,
1996          as well as a bug in the groups code.
1997         
1998    - 1.13alpha1 :
1999   
2000        - Bug fix wrt LDAP.
2001       
2002    - 1.12 :
2003   
2004        - More complete test added in edpykota.
2005       
2006    - 1.12alpha2 :
2007   
2008        - The previous bug fix was incomplete. This is corrected.
2009       
2010    - 1.12alpha1 :
2011   
2012        - Small bug fix.
2013

2015   
2016        - Now includes the pykotme command line tool, to produce
2017          printing quotes for users.
2018         
2019    - 1.10 :
2020   
2021        - Bug fixed wrt quota reports when print limiting is by
2022          account balance.
2023         
2024    - 1.09 :
2025   
2026        - Translations finalized.
2027       
2028        - Manpages updated.
2029       
2030        - Installation documentation improved wrt LDAP support.
2031       
2032    - 1.09beta2 :
2033   
2034        - The CGI script for quota reports works again, and
2035          is much more powerful.
2036       
2037    - 1.09beta :
2038   
2039        - edpykota finalized
2040       
2041    - 1.09alpha2 :
2042   
2043        - LDAP schema modified a bit. Please upgrade.
2044       
2045        - LDAP backend works !
2046       
2047        - repykota and warnpykota allow the root user to pass
2048          users or groups names on the command line. Users
2049          and groups names may contain wildcards.
2050         
2051        - repykota and warnpykota only reports or warns the
2052          current user when launched by non-root users.
2053         
2054        - Minor bug fixes. 
2055   
2056    - 1.09alpha1 :
2057   
2058        - More work on LDAP storage backend. Many options
2059          were added to /etc/pykota.conf to give some
2060          hints to the LDAP storage backend.
2061         
2062        - Severe database access optimizations were done by
2063          rewriting most of the Quota Storage backends drivers.
2064     
2065    - 1.08 :
2066   
2067        - Major bug fix wrt LPRng support for remote jobs.
2068       
2069        - Major bug fix wrt increase/decrease account balances.
2070       
2071    - 1.08alpha8 :
2072   
2073        - Code refactoring.
2074       
2075        - A single user/password pair is used to connect
2076          to the database backend. The storageuser configuration
2077          field, and its associated passwords storageuserpw, are
2078          not used anymore.
2079         
2080        - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration 
2081          file for details.
2082          WARNING : only Quota Storage backend queries are logged in
2083          debug mode, for now.
2084       
2085    - 1.08alpha7 :
2086   
2087        - Very latest LDAP schema.
2088       
2089        - Code enhancement wrt easy pluggability of PyKota attributes
2090          and object classes into an existing LDAP directory.
2091       
2092    - 1.08alpha6 :
2093   
2094        - Minor bug corrections
2095       
2096        - More work on LDAP : new schema
2097       
2098    - 1.08alpha5 :
2099   
2100        - More good work on LDAP storage.
2101          repykota now works reasonably well with the sample LDAP directory.
2102       
2103    - 1.08alpha4 :
2104   
2105        - LDAP schema included.
2106          THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS.
2107          LDAP SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK YET, AND THE SCHEMA
2108          MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE TELL US
2109          WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SCHEMA ON THE
2110          MAILING LIST.
2111         
2112    - 1.08alpha3 :
2113   
2114        - External accounting methods were partly rewritten :
2115         
2116          - No more "broken pipe" should happen.
2117         
2118          - They now take care of the number of copies
2119            This may be unneeded though, if the postscript
2120            file already does this, because this would
2121            overcharge users (number of copies counted
2122            two times). NEEDS MORE TESTING.
2123           
2124          - The sample configuration file now contains 
2125            an external accounting method example which should
2126            work with all DSC compliant Postscript files.
2127           
2128        - Some small bugs were fixed.   
2129       
2130    - 1.08alpha2 :
2131   
2132        - Now works with net-snmp v5.0 and above.
2133          It already worked, but the sample configuration
2134          file didn't contain appropriate values...
2135       
2136    - 1.07 : Release of the Shame !
2137   
2138        - The external accounting methods driver was left out of
2139          the CVS tree. Nobody could use it since it wasn't included !
2140         
2141    - 1.06 :
2142   
2143        - Severe bug fixed : if you had a printer in
2144          power saving state which couldn't answer immediately,
2145          a bug was triggered.
2146          It was caused by a bad copy/paste which
2147          forgot to import a Python module at run time.
2148         
2149    - 1.05 :
2150   
2151        - External accounters are finally available !
2152          This means that you can plug any page accounting
2153          method you like by setting the appropriate
2154          'accounter' field in /etc/pykota.conf
2155          See the sample conf/pykota.conf.sample to
2156          learn how to do.
2157         
2158          NB : Both 'external' and 'stupid' accounting methods
2159               account a job size just before *this* job is
2160               sent to the printer.
2161               The original 'querying' method accounts a job
2162               size just before *the next* job is sent to
2163               the printer.
2164       
2165    - 1.05alpha3 :
2166   
2167        - A 'stupid' and unreliable accounting method was
2168          implemented to serve as an example on how to
2169          do this sort of things. This method only counts
2170          the 'showpage' statements in the input data.
2171          See sample configuration file for details.
2172          Pluggable accounting methods work, but I advise
2173          you TO NOT USE THIS ONE WHICH IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.
2174          It is not reliable enough to be used.
2175          Use the 'querying' accounting method instead.
2176         
2177    - 1.05alpha2 :
2178   
2179        - Pluggable accounting methods.
2180       
2181        - Better error handling.
2182       
2183    - 1.05alpha1 :
2184   
2185        - SECURITY file added to help improve PyKota's security.
2186       
2187        - Extracting the printer's internal page counter is now
2188          tried several times, waiting several seconds between
2189          two tries. This lets the time to warm up for some printers
2190          which don't answer when they are sleeping (my Apple
2191          LaserWriter 16/600 PS is in this case, maybe others too)
2192         
2193        - Small display bug fixed in repykota
2194         
2195    - 1.04 :
2196   
2197        - Default print policy for users/groups unknown from
2198          the print quota system is now DENY instead of ALLOW,
2199          since ALLOW can generate inaccurate results
2200          (incorrect job sizes charged to the wrong persons)
2201         
2202        - LPRng support works !
2203       
2204        - A bug was introduced some time ago wrt printers' default
2205          policy for unknown users. It is now corrected.
2206       
2207        - repykota now displays prices per job and per page for each
2208          printer, if they are defined.
2209         
2210        - Minor display bug fixed in repykota.
2211       
2212        - Problem when running repykota with an empty database was fixed.
2213       
2214    - 1.03 :
2215   
2216        - Upgrade script included for earlier versions.
2217          Please look inside the initscripts subdirectory.
2218          THE DATABASE SCHEMA HAS CHANGED, PLEASE UPGRADE.
2219         
2220        - repykota now reports account balances too.
2221       
2222        - PyKota now has a nice logo, see the logos
2223          subdirectory.
2224       
2225        - Manual pages were finally updated.
2226       
2227        - Group quotas seem to work now !
2228       
2229        - The new database schema allows to keep an history of all
2230          jobs as well as charge users per page and/or per job,
2231          and track users' account balance.
2232         
2233        - edpykota now accepts much more command line options to 
2234          use the new functionnalities. See edpykota --help for
2235          details.
2236         
2237        - The installation script now allows to install the sample
2238          configuration file during first installation.
2239         
2240        - More group quota code works, but still not finished. 
2241       
2242        - The CGI script displays a link to PyKota's website.
2243       
2244        - The job history is now kept, this will allow per-period
2245          reports in the future.
2246         
2247        - After having modified the quota for an user with edpykota,
2248          a quota check is done to eventually warn the user/admin about
2249          a quota which is too low to print.
2250         
2251        - A workaround is provided for HP Printers : their internal
2252          page counter is only saved to NVRAM in a 10 increment, so
2253          if you switch them off and then on, the reported page counter
2254          may be lower than the real number of pages printed.
2255          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
2256          We unconditionnally set the last job's page count to
2257          abs(int((10 - abs(lastcounter(snmp) - lastcounter(storage)) / 2))
2258          in this case.
2259          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
2260          off.
2261         
2262        - A fix is provided for printers which only have a volatile 
2263          page counter (reset to 0 every time you switch the printer on)
2264          This should allow PyKota to work reasonably fine with HP Laserjet
2265          4L/5L/6L, not perfect, but better than nothing.
2266          See http://web.mit.edu/source/third/lprng/doc/LPRng-HOWTO-15.html
2267          For a more accurate accounting, never switch your HP printers
2268          off. This is untested, please report any problem.
2269         
2270        - A bug was fixed when edpykota --add was used with users who already
2271          had a quota on the specified printer.
2272         
2273        - A small display bug in repykota was introduced in preliminary
2274          1.03 versions, and fixed later on.
2275         
2276        - Some minor bugs which happened in rare situations were fixed.
2277       
2278        - Support for AppleTalk printers was added, see sample configuration
2279          file for details.
2280         
2281        - Users and group printing can now be controlled (limited) either by 
2282          print quota or by account balance.
2283       
2284    - 1.02 :
2285   
2286        - The installation script now checks for software availability
2287          and in case a software is missing asks the user if he
2288          wants to continue with the installation or abort it.
2289         
2290        - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be
2291          found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups
2292          The installation script prompts the user to see if he
2293          wants to move an old configuration file to the new location
2294          if needed.
2295         
2296        - Improved documentation.
2297       
2298        - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage
2299          Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details.
2300       
2301        - Better general error handling.
2302       
2303        - Upgrade script for pre 1.01 PostgreSQL database schema is now
2304          included as well.
2305       
2306    - 1.01 :
2307   
2308        - The configuration file now accepts an option   
2309          to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages :
2310         
2311            - DevNull means no one will receive them.
2312            - User means only the user will receive them.
2313            - Admin means only the admin will receive them.
2314            - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them.
2315           
2316        - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values
2317          when an option is not set. See sample configuration file
2318          for details.
2319         
2320        - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to   
2321          add this information to this file.
2322         
2323        - Redistribution terms for the official package have 
2324          softened and are now fully GPL compatible :
2325          unrestricted modification is now allowed even for
2326          the version number.
2327         
2328    - 1.00 :
2329   
2330        - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This
2331          disable quota checking while still doing page
2332          accounting. This is really useful for people
2333          who don't want to limit their users but want
2334          to know how much pages they print.
2335         
2336        - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve
2337          the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers.
2338         
2339        - Every directory now has a specific README file. 
2340       
2341    - 0.99 :
2342   
2343        - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed
2344          to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is
2345          now fixed.
2346         
2347        - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for
2348          the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed.
2349         
2350    - 0.98 :
2351   
2352        - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off.
2353       
2354        - Small bug wrt syslog fixed.
2355       
2356    - 0.97 :
2357   
2358        - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too
2359          if the --add option is not set, e.g. :
2360         
2361              $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*"
2362             
2363        - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*"
2364          which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used.
2365         
2366        - Small bug fixes.
2367       
2368    - 0.96 :
2369
2370        - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now
2371          be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has
2372          priority if both are defined.
2373
2374        - More powerful configuration parser.
2375       
2376        - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to
2377          define a section for each printer in the configuration
2378          file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok.
2379
2380    - 0.95 :
2381
2382        - External requesters for printers finally added.
2383
2384        - Full internationalization (english and french are supported)
2385 
2386        - More complete quota usage report
2387
2388        - CGI script to access to the quota usage report
2389
2390        - Several bugs fixed.
2391
2392
2393    - 0.9 :
2394
2395        - First public version
