Changes in CUPS 1.3.0 since 1.3rc2:

• The scheduler did not handle out-of-file conditions gracefully when accepting new connections, leading to heavy CPU usage.
• The scheduler did not detect ServerBin misconfigurations (Issue #2470)
• "AuthType Default" did not work as expected when the "DefaultAuthType foo" line appeared after it in the cupsd.conf file.
• The on-line help did not describe many common printing options (Issue #1846)
• The IPP backend did not return the "auth required" status when printing to a Kerberos-protected queue.
• The scheduler was not looking in the correct directories for LSB PPD files (Issue #2464)
• Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript (Issue #2463)
• The PostScript filter did not cleanly terminate when the job was canceled or stopped.
• Fixed generation of Kerberos credentials for remote printing. Note that this requires a recent version of MIT Kerberos with a working krb5_cc_new_unique() function or Heimdal Kerberos.
• Added Portuguese and updated Italian message catalogs.
