[+] 2008年01月11日 - PaperCut NG 8.1 (Build 5490)
Fixed a problem where print jobs could time-out early when both the client popup authentication and release/hold queues are in use. This would occur if the user is using the authentication popup and does not release the job from the release station within 10 minutes.
[+] 2008年01月10日 - PaperCut NG 8.0 (Build 5488)
主要的新功能:
In the software release station, allow the administrator to enable both username/password and card authentication simultaneously.
Internet Control: Added an option to allow the Internet security group to be populated with users without Internet access. This allows the administrator to invert the previously default behaviour (i.e. to include denied users instead of allowed users). Depending on the existing proxy server rules, it is may be more convenient to use a "Deny" rule rather than an "Allow" rule.
优化功能:
Provide better user feedback when users release/cancel jobs from the software release station. The screen will automatically be updated to show that the job has started printing (or been cancelled).
Improved the reliability of delivering printing notifications to the PaperCut user client, when the machine name associated with the print job does not match the machine name reported by the user client.
Improved handling of jobs that are manually removed from the print queues (e.g. cancelled/deleted by an administrator). These jobs will then be automatically removed from the PaperCut hold/release queues.

问题修正:
Fixed a problem where print jobs could time-out early when both the client popup and release/hold queues are in use. This would occur if the user is using the popup and does not release the job from the release station within 10 minutes.
Fixed the real-time notification of balance updates to the user client when using client popup authentication when logged with a user with uppercase characters in their username.
Fixed a problem when synchronizing the group members from AD/LDAP prior to a quota allocation. This could stop future sync operations from running.
Fixed an error that occurred when running the "Group internet usage - summary (ad-hoc)" report if no "From Date" is specified.
Suppressed a harmless error message that would appear in the server log file when a notification message could not be delivered to a client.

[+] 2007年12月12日 - PaperCut NG 8.0 (Build 5428)
注意事项:
这是一个重大的发布。请检查升级政策,升级资格。This release also contains a database upgrade and administrators should factor this into their upgrade plan.
主要的新功能:
Added group-based printer restrictions allowing administrators to restrict the use of a printer to a group or set of groups. This is particularly useful on Mac servers, as OS X server does not have in-built group-based access controls.
Added a new account selection mode to automatically charge a user's print jobs to a single shared account. This is useful when a user works in a single department or project, as it automates account selection and removes the need to display the popup and run the client software.
Admin rights may now be assigned at the group level in addition to individual users. This offers more convenient management on sites with a large number of administrators.
对服务器和客户端完全支持Apple Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard)
PaperCut now supports Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) offering an alternate clustering option in addition to Microsoft Clustering services.
Added new admin access controls (ACLs) to limit management tasks such as Pre-Paid card management and refunding of print jobs.

Enhanced user account synchronization allowing users' card/identity numbers to be automatically imported/updated from fields in Active Directory or LDAP.
Internet 控制模块目前支持代理服务器直接运行的最大的OSX
Mac and Linux系统现在可以配置运行“二级Internet控制服务器”
改善不同的CSV报告以便更容易使用
Much improved documentation covering Apple Mac setup including deployment on Leopard and using the Workgroup Manager to publish printers.
... 版本7以后更新更多的功能

Changed terminology from "print release station" to "hold/release queue" to better reflect that this feature can also be used via a web browser rather than just dedicated release stations.
Added total/summary rows to the bottom of all of reports.
Add a new option to allow the popup authentication to remember the authentication for "this job only".
Add more filters to the transaction log pages providing more flexibility searching of the transaction logs.
Improved the performance of the internal database, by automatically optimizing database tables.
Added a new configuration option to ignore standard system users such as all users ending in "$". These accounts usually represent machine accounts. The setting also accepts user-defined regular expressions, providing the power to ignore site specific accounts such as system mailboxes.
当打印被拒绝,改进过的系统默认值信息传达给用户
更新系统数据库运行时间,以改善性能和稳定性
Add a web-service API and server-command operation to query the status of a previously started task (e.g. a user sync or backup running in the background).
添加web-service API和server-command直到找回打印工作和页数
Added example shell scripts that make use of the "server-command" functionality.
Allow the card PIN to be retrieved/set through the web-service and server-command API.
允许PIN卡予以更新/使用的批理用户导入/更新。
问题修正:
Fixed a potential crash bug in the Windows print provider service that may occur with selected printer drivers when the error reporting feature is enabled.
Fixed a potential crash bug that may have occured if a misbehaving driver returns invalid data.
Fixed account selection popup problems that may occur if Terminal Server and popup authentication was used together on the same network.
Fix a problem where hold/release queue settings were lost when switching between printer tabs.
Addressed server load issues that may occur when many print jobs (100+) are bulk cancelled from a blocked queue.
