[cups] Fwd: [Printing-architecture] CUPS 2.4.7 is released!

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello cups community,

We use CUPS version 2.3.6 from www.cups.org and a few days ago I got
this message attached below. Is this somehow a successor or some
parallel development. I looked into the tar file cups-2.4.7-source.tar.gz
and this looks very different. I'm confused :-)

Thanks
