+ printers to be seen without restarting the server,
+ however it limits the amount of device URI checking
+ that can be done (basically now the scheduler only
+ requires a URI with a method that is a listed backend)

+ and log file viewing to the administration web page.

+ - The scheduler could block trying to read the job status
+ if there was input pending and the job was cancelled in
+ the same input cycle (STR #1157)

+ to remove printers as soon as they are deleted on the

+ (STR #793)
+ - The CUPS_SERVER and ServerName directives (client.conf
+ and ~/.cupsrc) may now contain names of the form
+ "server:port" and "/path/to/domain/socket".

+ users (STR #751)
+ - Added test run support to "make test" target (STR #64)
+ - Added domain socket support (STR #656)
+ - Added BrowseLocalOptions directive to allow the
