CHANGES IN CUPS V1.5.0

	- Documentation updates.
	- Localization update (STR #3865)
	- Needed to limit TLS to v1.0 on some versions of Mac OS X.
	- The snmp backend did not work with some printers.


CHANGES IN CUPS V1.5rc1

	- Compile fixes (STR #3849, STR #3850)
	- The scheduler didn't check for empty values for several configuration
	  directives (STR #3861)
	- ipptool didn't generate valid XML when a test was skipped.
	- Added additional error checking to the 1284 device ID code (STR #3858)
	- Fixed some compatibility issues migrating from the old usblp backend
	  to the libusb backend (STR #3860)
	- Fixed the wake-from-sleep printing behavior on Mac OS X.
	- The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs to be held from a terminating
	  state.
	- The cups-driverd program could crash when a PPD was renamed.
	- The dnssd backend took too long to discover printers on large or busy
	  networks with the new default timeout used by lpinfo and the web
	  interface. This resulted in "lost" printers.

	- Documentation updates.
	- Localization updates (STR #3845)
	- Compiler warning cleanup.
	- Fixed PIE support for Linux (STR #3846)

	  remote queues using authentication.

	- The scheduler reported an incorrect job-printer-uri value when sharing
	  was not enabled (STR #3639)
	- The scheduler now allows the ServerAlias directive to contain multiple
