---|
59 | - 1.25alpha6 (2006-06-13) : |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | - pkusers now supports the --email command line switch. |

---|
78 | |
---|
79 | - Introduced the 'askconfirmation' directive to interact with |
---|
80 | the end user through any script (pknotify is recommended) |

---|
82 | of the job. |
---|
83 | |
---|
84 | - Now uses pkipplib if present to directly retrieve the job |
---|
85 | information from the CUPS server over IPP. |

---|
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) : |

---|
126 | |

---|
132 | |
---|
133 | - Introduced the pknotify command line tool to dialog |

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. |

---|
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 : |

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 | |

---|
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 |

---|
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 | |
---|
491 | - Minor fix in the LDAP backend code. |
---|
492 | |
---|
493 | - 1.23alpha7 : |

---|
499 | |
---|
500 | - The data dumper's start= and end= date filtering options now |
---|
501 | accept a positive or negative offset to be added to the special |
---|
502 | keywords 'yesterday', 'today', 'now', 'tomorrow'. |
---|
503 | e.g. : dumpykota --data history start=yesterday-5 end=today |
---|
504 | |
---|
505 | - 1.23alpha5 : |
---|
506 | |

---|
518 | configurable. |
---|
519 | |

---|
521 | escaped. |
---|
522 | |

---|
533 | |
---|
534 | - Sets current username to the user CUPS runs as instead of "root" |
---|
535 | when printing test pages from CUPS' web interface (because |
---|
536 | the username is empty in this case). |
---|
537 | |
---|
538 | - Fix for strange values in job-originating-hostname |
---|
539 | |
---|
540 | - 1.22 : |

564 | - Fixed the dump in CUPS' page_log format which didn't |
---|
565 | dump the oldest entry. |
---|
566 | |
---|
567 | - The data dumper now accepts billingcode= and hostname= as |
---|
568 | filters when dumping the job history. |
---|
569 | |
---|
570 | - The job billing code if present is now saved into the database, |

---|
603 | returning to "idle". |
---|
604 | |
---|
605 | - Some permissions settings may have prevented cupspykota |
---|
606 | from parsing cupsd.conf, this is now fixed. |

---|
644 | |
---|

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 |

---|
671 | |

675 | |
---|
676 | - edpykota now recognizes the -o | --overcharge command line |
---|
677 | option to set an overcharging or undercharging factor |

---|
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 |
---|

---|
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 : |

---|
750 | - Normalized field names between LDAP and PostgreSQL backends |
---|
751 | in dumpykota's output. |
---|
752 | |
---|
753 | - dumpykota filtering capabilities are now supported within |
---|
754 | the LDAP backend too. |
---|
755 | |
---|

---|
761 | - 1.21alpha13 : |
---|
762 | |
---|
763 | - Added a --debug command line option to pkpgcounter, so |

---|
775 | |
---|
776 | - Now user and group print quota entries can be stored directly |
---|
777 | below the user or group with the LDAP backend, using them |
---|
778 | as branches. Thanks to Stefan Wold for the patch. |
---|
779 | See the sample configuration file for details. |
---|
780 | |
---|
781 | - TLS is now supported with the LDAP backend. Thanks to Stefan |

---|
795 | |

835 | in pykota.conf |
---|
836 | Thanks to Matt Hyclak for the patch. |

838 | - 1.21alpha2 : |
---|
839 | |
---|
840 | - Installation script is now non interactive again, as it should |

---|
888 | to be a PyKota administrator when another command line |
---|
889 | option is used. |
---|
890 | |
---|
891 | - pkhint doesn't use absolute path to search for helper commands |
---|

---|
921 | a PyKota administrator (a PyKota administrator is an user |
---|
922 | allowed to read the pykotadmin.conf file). |
---|
923 | |
---|
924 | - Now any PyKota administrator can use repykota and warnpykota |
---|
925 | with additionnal arguments, not only the root user. |
---|
926 | |
---|
927 | - Improved documentation a bit. |
---|

---|
955 | - Added the new "winbind_separator" directive to strip |
---|
956 | out the Samba/Winbind domain name while printing if |

967 | |
---|
968 | - Internal handling of socket based PJL queries over |
---|
969 | port tcp/9100 is now available with the magic |
---|
970 | 'pjl' value in the hardware accounter. |
---|
971 | |
---|
972 | - 1.20alpha15 : |
---|
973 | |
---|
974 | - LDAP pykotaAccountBalance objects were always created |
---|
975 | attached to the pykotaUser objects. This is now |

---|
977 | is now correctly used. |
---|
978 | |
---|
979 | - 1.20alpha14 : |

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 : |

1025 | - 1.20alpha7 : |
---|
1026 | |
---|
1027 | - First draft of PCL3GUI (Deskjet 640C for example) analyzer. |

---|
1040 | - Fixed issue with how mod_auth_ldap Apache modules |
---|

---|
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. |

---|
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 | |
---|

---|
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 |

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 |
---|
1451 | and pykotaTitle attributes. |
---|
1452 | |
---|
1453 | - 1.19alpha4 : |
---|
1454 | |
---|
1455 | - a bad copy&paste prevented pkpgcounter to work at all, this |
---|
1456 | is now fixed. |
---|
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. |
---|
1470 | |
---|
1471 | - 1.19alpha2 : |
---|
1472 | |
---|
1473 | - pkpgcounter is now included as a smart external |
---|
1474 | accounter which can handle both PostScript and PCL. |
---|
1475 | |
---|
1476 | - 1.19alpha1 : |
---|
1477 | |
---|
1478 | - PYKOTALIMITBY environment variable is now exported too. |
---|
1479 | |

1480 | - Inclusion of Michele Baldessari's work on autotools. |
---|
1481 | |
---|
1482 | - 1.18 : |
---|
1483 | |
---|
1484 | - Improved documentation |
---|
1485 | |
---|
1486 | - 1.18beta2 : |
---|
1487 | |
---|
1488 | - Fix for raw jobs with cupspykota |
---|
1489 | |
---|
1490 | - 1.18beta : |

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 : |
---|
1535 | |
---|
1536 | - Hopefully final fix wrt groups (users and printers) |

1537 | |
---|
1538 | - 1.18alpha10 : |

---|
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). |

---|
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 | |
---|

---|
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. |
---|
1662 | |
---|
1663 | - 1.16alpha25 : |
---|

---|
1741 | to lowercase during printing. |

---|
1759 | |
---|
1760 | - 'postgresql' is not recognized anymore as a storage backend, |
---|
1761 | you have to use 'pgstorage' instead. 'postgresql' used to |

---|
1763 | this is not the case anymore. |

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 | |
---|

---|
1774 | |

1779 | |
---|
1780 | - Job history now contains additional informations : |
---|
1781 | number of copies, filename, title and print options. |

1782 | |
---|
1783 | - 1.16alpha10 : |
---|

1806 | |
---|
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 |

---|
1817 | added to the database. |
---|
1818 | |
---|
1819 | - 1.16alpha5 : |
---|
1820 | |
---|
1821 | - New CUPS backend supports device enumeration ! |

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 : |

---|
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 : |

---|
1903 | |
---|
1904 | - 1.14 : |
---|
1905 | |
---|
1906 | - The PostgreSQL database connection is now always closed before |
---|
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. |
---|

---|
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, |

---|
1921 | quota information to existing entries or elsewhere. |
---|
1922 | See sample configuration file for details. |
---|
1923 | |

---|
1930 | limiting factor is "balance". |
---|
1931 | |
---|
1932 | - 1.14alpha8 : |
---|
1933 | |
---|
1934 | - bin/waitprinter.sh is now included to wait for |
---|

---|
1938 | |
---|

---|
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. |
---|

---|
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 |

---|
1987 | - All warning messages to users are now configurable. |
---|
1988 | NB : Warning messages to the administrator are not. |

2078 | not used anymore. |
---|
2079 | |
---|
2080 | - You can now set PyKota in debug mode, see sample configuration |

---|
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 |
---|

---|
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. |
---|

---|
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. |

2391 | |
---|
2392 | |
---|
2393 | - 0.9 : |
---|
2394 | |
---|
2395 | - First public version |
---|
