 321           STR #3305)
 322         - cupsDoIORequest() did not abort on permanent errors (STR #3311)

 413           Russian and partial localizations for Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
 414           French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish
 415           (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141)

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

 429           one printer or class added (STR #3094)
 430         - Since classes have never truly supported the printer-error-policy
 431           stuff added in CUPS 1.2, update the code to reflect the current
 432           reality and support only the retry-current-job policy for now
 433           (STR #3171)
 434         - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953)
 435         - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly.
 436         - Make some fairly substantial changes to the Kerberos support code so
 437           that CUPS can work in multi-realm environments and does not require
 438           delegatable credentials.  Shared printing still requires delegation,
 439           however "delegation by policy" can be enabled in the KDC to make this
 440           all work.
 441         - "AccessLogLevel actions" did not hide client-error-not-found errors.
 442         - AP_FIRST_InputSlot did not work with number-up.

 444           lack of kernel buffers.
 445         - The IPP and LPD backends did not respond to side-channel requests
 446           while copying print data to a temporary file.
 447         - cupsWriteRequestData() flushed the output buffer unnecessarily,
 448           causing reduced performance in some situations.
 449         - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request
 450           would hang on the client.
 451         - The printer/class/job search feature on the web interface did not
 452           work (STR #3132)
 453         - The scheduler did not write the printers out for classes.
 454         - CUPS-Get-PPDs did not work properly when filtering by language,
 455           product, or psversion (STR #3136)

 457           (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
 458         - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
 459           filenames in the PPD file.

 467           incorrectly added the printer (STR #3095)
 468         - The scheduler no longer uses programs with insecure file
 469           permissions.
 470         - httpAssembleURI*() did not escape backslashes in hostnames.
 471         - The dnssd backend did not unquote "full names" before creating the
 472           device URI.
 473         - The scheduler now supports JobRetryInterval values less than 10
 474           seconds.
 475         - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3090)
 476         - The scheduler did not redo Bonjour/DNS-SD registrations when updating

 480         - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
 481           keywords.
 482         - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
 483           maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
 484           often unreliable.
 485         - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
 486           "crashed".

 492         - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
 493           (STR #3084)
 494         - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
 495           cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)
 496         - The scheduler now provides a LogTimeFormat directive to enable
 497           microseconds in the date and time that are logged.
 498         - The scheduler now provides a MultipleOperationTimeout directive to
 499           control the timeout for multi-file print jobs.

 511         - SNMP lookups via side-channel did not work for NULL-VALUE and
 512           and OCTET-STRING OIDs containing nul characters.
 513         - The libusb-based USB backend did not work.
 514         - The scheduler did not set the printer-commands attribute correctly
 515           for some PPDs.
 516         - The ppdi utility did not work.
 517         - The web interface no longer uses multi-part output with old or broken

 528           present in most PPD files.
 529         - The scheduler did not honor MIME type priorities.
 530         - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
 531           its jobs.
 532         - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
 533         - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
 534           all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
 535           printers.
 536         - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
 537           printer attributes when a job was canceled.
 538         - The scheduler did not clear the "connecting-to-device" reason keyword
 539           when a job finished.

 546           FormatVersion values in PPD files.
 547         - The default cupsd.conf file did not reflect the
 548           --with-local-protocols value set at compile-time (STR #3037)
 549         - The cupsGetPPD* APIs now create symlinks to local PPD files
 550           rather than copying them whenever possible.
 551         - Various performance optimizations in the string pool, dests, and
 552           options implementations.

 597         - The ppdmerge command did not merge custom option strings
 598           (STR #2863)
 599         - The scheduler now supports the Hold-New-Jobs and
 600           Release-Held-New-Jobs operations; these are exposed via the
 601           cupsdisable and cupsenable commands (STR #2332)
 602         - The lpstat command is now much faster when displaying the
 603           status of a single printer (STR #2843)
 604         - The scheduler now caches information from PPD files to provide
 605           significantly faster startup time with large numbers of PPDs
 606           (STR #1293)
 607         - CUPS-Get-Driver now provides much better driver matching based
 608           on the IEEE-1284 device ID and make/model strings (STR #2707)
 609         - Now support the cupsSNMPSupplies keyword to control whether
 610           the network backends query the SNMP Printer MIB for supply
 611           levels.
 612         - Now support and use a new banner file format for better text
