279 (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
280 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
281 filenames in the PPD file.
282 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
283 values.

301 status operations.
302 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
303 keywords.
304 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
305 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
306 often unreliable.
307 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
308 "crashed".
309 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
310 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
311 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
312 printer had other reasons associated with it.
313 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
314 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
315 (STR #3084)
316 - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like

343 options.
344 - The PPD compiler didn't localize options or choices that did not
345 have associated translation text (STR #3045)
346 - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043)
347 - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)

352 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
353 its jobs.
354 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
355 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
356 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
357 printers.

359 printer attributes when a job was canceled.

374 options implementations.
375 - The cupsGetDests* APIs now return the marker and printer-commands
376 attributes.
