CHANGES IN CUPS V1.5.0

	- Documentation updates.
	- Localization update (STR #3865)
	- Needed to limit TLS to v1.0 on some versions of Mac OS X.
	- The snmp backend did not work with some printers.


CHANGES IN CUPS V1.5rc1

	- Compile fixes (STR #3849, STR #3850)
	- The scheduler didn't check for empty values for several configuration
	  directives (STR #3861)
	- ipptool didn't generate valid XML when a test was skipped.
	- Added additional error checking to the 1284 device ID code (STR #3858)
	- Fixed some compatibility issues migrating from the old usblp backend
	  to the libusb backend (STR #3860)
	- Fixed the wake-from-sleep printing behavior on Mac OS X.
	- The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs to be held from a terminating
