389 filenames in the PPD file.

410 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
411 keywords.
412 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
413 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
414 often unreliable.
415 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
416 "crashed".
417 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
418 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
419 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
420 printer had other reasons associated with it.
421 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
422 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
423 (STR #3084)
