11 i've been running 1.4.x for a couple of months - no problems on the
12 desktop. on the server though, 1.4.x regresses with regard to DNS-
13 SD/bonjour when using avahi as a backend - which is a bit of a problem,
14 since apple disables listening to cups broadcasts. so anybody having osx
15 clients, will not have zero configuration of printers on those clients.

19 in my opinion this should *not* block stablization, though.
