# Big database structure changes. Upgrade script is now included as well as
# the new LDAP schema.
# Introduction of the -o | --overcharge command line option to edpykota.
# The output of repykota is more complete, but doesn't fit in 80 columns anymore.
# Introduction of the new 'maxdenybanners' directive.
#
# Revision 1.84  2005/01/17 08:44:23  jalet
# Modified copyright years
#
# Revision 1.83  2005/01/06 23:23:35  jalet
# Regain priviledge the time to read the job control file to extract the client
# hostname
#
# Revision 1.82  2005/01/06 22:52:53  jalet
# Implemented the dropping of priviledges. Beware, beware...
#
# Revision 1.81  2004/12/07 16:54:02  jalet
# Now logs as errors differences between computed and precomputed job's sizes
#
# Revision 1.80  2004/11/15 22:12:46  jalet
# Fix for the Fix !!!
#
# Revision 1.79  2004/11/15 22:01:34  jalet
# Improved banner handling.
# Fix for raw printing and banners.
#
# Revision 1.78  2004/11/15 19:59:34  jalet
# PyKota banners now basically work !
#
# Revision 1.77  2004/11/06 22:40:57  jalet
# Safer code
#
# Revision 1.76  2004/11/06 22:35:58  jalet
# Added a miniparser for IPP messages (RFC 2910). The job-originating-host-name
# retrieval is now fiable, unless the CUPS developpers change something...
#
# Revision 1.75  2004/11/01 15:45:25  jalet

#
# Revision 1.74  2004/10/13 20:51:27  jalet
# Made debugging levels be the same in cupspykota and lprngpykota.
# Now outputs more information in informational messages : user, printer, jobid
#
# Revision 1.73  2004/10/13 16:56:45  jalet
# Added a space to the pattern to differentiate jobs which id begins with
# the same digits, like jobs 87 and 879 for example : if printed by same
# user on same printer, but from a different host this could have broken
# the result. (In reality this couldn't happen because 879 would be the
# last line to match anyway because of job ordering, but we never know
# if the page_log file gets corrupt somewhat)
#
# Revision 1.72  2004/09/13 16:02:44  jalet
# Added fix for incorrect job's size when hardware accounting fails

#
# Revision 1.60  2004/06/03 23:14:08  jalet
