341 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
342 filenames in the PPD file.
343 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
344 values.

363 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
364 keywords.
365 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
366 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
367 often unreliable.
368 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
369 "crashed".
370 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
371 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
372 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
373 printer had other reasons associated with it.
374 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
375 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
376 (STR #3084)

406 have associated translation text (STR #3045)
407 - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043)
408 - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)

414 its jobs.
415 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

461 CUPS 1.1.x.

464 catalogs (STR #2990)

468 variable when running filters.
