468 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
469 keywords.
470 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
471 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
472 often unreliable.

477 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
478 printer had other reasons associated with it.
479 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
480 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
481 (STR #3084)

518 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
519 its jobs.
520 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
