* The scheduler didn't log the operation name in the access_log file for Create-Job and Print-Job requests.

* Clarified the documentation for the cupsd.conf @LOCAL and @IF(name) allow/deny functionality (STR #1992)
* The PostScript filters did not escape the Title and For comments in the print job header (STR #1988)
