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 (STR #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 (STR #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 (STR #2464)
* Changed references to ESP Ghostscript to GPL Ghostscript (STR #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.
