| French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish |
| (STR #3096, STR #3098, STR #3109, STR #3111, STR #3141) |

| - Moving jobs in the web interface now shows an error if you only have |
| one printer or class added (STR #3094) |

| - Revised the password callback support (STR #2953) |
| - ppdEmit*() did not choose between PageSize and PageRegion properly. |

| while copying print data to a temporary file. |

| causing reduced performance in some situations. |
| - If a CGI process died before sending its MIME headers, the request |
| would hang on the client. |

| - The scheduler now kills job filters when it takes more than 30 seconds |
| (configurable) to cancel or hold the job. |
