   4 CHANGES IN CUPS V1.5rc1
   5
   6         - The dnssd backend took too long to discover printers on large or busy
   7           networks with the new default timeout used by lpinfo and the web
   8           interface. This resulted in "lost" printers.

  12
  13         - Documentation updates.
  14         - Localization updates (STR #3845)

  16         - Fixed PIE support for Linux (STR #3846)

  19         - The scheduler incorrectly set the "authenticated" printer-type bit for
  20           remote queues using authentication.
