293 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
294 filenames in the PPD file.
295 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
296 values.

315 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
316 keywords.
317 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
318 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
319 often unreliable.
320 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
321 "crashed".
322 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
323 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
324 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
325 printer had other reasons associated with it.
326 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
327 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
328 (STR #3084)
329 - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like

358 have associated translation text (STR #3045)
359 - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043)
360 - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)

365 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
366 its jobs.
367 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
368 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
369 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
370 printers.
