501 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
502 keywords.
503 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
504 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
505 often unreliable.
506 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
507 "crashed".
508 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
509 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
510 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
511 printer had other reasons associated with it.
512 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
513 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
514 (STR #3084)

551 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
552 its jobs.
553 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
554 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
555 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
556 printers.
557 - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
558 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
