435 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
436 often unreliable.
437 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
438 "crashed".
439 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)

441 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
442 printer had other reasons associated with it.
443 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
444 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
445 (STR #3084)

482 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
483 its jobs.
484 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

486 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
487 printers.

489 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
