	- 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.

	  (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
	- The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
	  filenames in the PPD file.
	- The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
	  values.
	- The cups-deviced helper program could miss reporting some backend
	  devices (STR #3108)
