============================

Changes in CUPS v2.3b4
----------------------

- Kerberized printing to another CUPS server did not work correctly
  (Issue #5233)
- Fixed printing to some IPP Everywhere printers (Issue #5238)
- Fixed installation of filters (Issue #5247)
- The scheduler now supports using temporary print queues for older IPP/1.1
  print queues like those shared by CUPS 1.3 and earlier (Issue #5241)

- Documentation fixes (Issue #5252)
- Fixed a compile issue when PAM is not available (Issue #5253)
- Label printers supported by the rastertolabel driver don't support SNMP, so
  don't delay printing to test it (Issue #5256)
- The scheduler could crash while adding an IPP Everywhere printer (Issue #5258)
- The Lexmark Optra E310 printer needs the "no-reattach" USB quirk rule
  (Issue #5259)
- Systemd did not restart cupsd when configuration changes were made that
  required a restart (Issue #5263)
- The IPP Everywhere PPD generator did not include the `cupsJobPassword`
  keyword, when supported (Issue #5265)
- Fixed an Avahi crash bug in the scheduler (Issue #5268)
