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

 249           STR #3173)
 250         - Added complete localizations for German, Japanese, Polish, and
 251           Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
 252           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 253           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)

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

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

 299           values.
 300         - The cups-deviced helper program could miss reporting some backend
 301           devices (STR #3108)
 302         - The cupsSideChannelSNMP* functions did not work.
 303         - The scheduler could consume 100% CPU when jobs were canceled.
 304         - Clicking on "Select Another Make/Manufacturer" in the web interface
 305           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 306         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
 307           permissions.
 308         - httpAssembleURI*() did not escape backslashes in hostnames.
