400 ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)
401 - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have
402 one printer or class added (STR #3094)

407 - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
408 - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
409 - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so

430 (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
431 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
432 filenames in the PPD file.
433 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
434 values.

452 status operations.
453 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
454 keywords.
455 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
456 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
457 often unreliable.
458 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
459 "crashed".
460 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
461 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
462 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
463 printer had other reasons associated with it.
464 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
465 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
466 (STR #3084)

503 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
504 its jobs.
505 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
506 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
507 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
508 printers.

510 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
