587 and set the current (cached) authorization string to use for
589 - Updated the default cupsd.conf policy to list the

640 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
641 file to use the default authentication defined by the
642 DefaultAuthType directive.

675 from a PPD file in the ppd-model-number attribute (STR
677 - CUPS_GET_PPDS now reports a driver type string in the

685 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
686 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
687 it now uses a lookup file with fallback to port 9100
