 243         - The Mac OS X USB backend did not handle aborted or stalled pipe

 254           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 255           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)

 263         - The scheduler now automatically logs the last N debug messages for
 264           failed print jobs.
 265         - You can now modify a raw print queue (STR #3133)
 266         - Fixed a number of ppdi issues and added a unit test to validate that
 267           ppdc + ppdi can generate and import the same data (STR #3152)

 269           one printer or class added (STR #3094)
 270         - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
 271           stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
 272           reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
 273           (STR #3171)
 274         - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
 275         - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
 276         - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
 277           that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
 278           delegatable credentials.  Shared printing still requires delegation,
 279           however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
 280           all work.
 281         - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
 282         - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.
 283         - cupsBackChannelRead() and cupsBackChannelWrite() could fail due to a
 284           lack of kernel buffers.
 285         - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
 286           while copying print data to a temporary file.
 287         - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
 288           causing reduced performance in some situations.
 289         - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
 290           would hang on the client.
 291         - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
 292           work (STR #3132)
 293         - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
 294         - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
 295           product, or psversion (STR #3136)
 296         - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds
 297           (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
 298         - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
 299           filenames in the PPD file.

 301           values.

 303           devices (STR #3108)
 304         - The cupsSideChannelSNMP* functions did not work.
 305         - The scheduler could consume 100% CPU when jobs were canceled.
 306         - Clicking on "Select Another Make/Manufacturer" in the web interface
 307           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 308         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
