  * 3.13alpha (2006-11-07) :

    - Backported locking mechanism from PyKota.

  * 3.12 (2006-08-11) :

    - Serializes accesses to the same device from different queues
      or print servers through file locking facilities (works over
      NFS).

    - Improved support for CUPS 1.2.x and higher.

    - Allows the administrator to cleanly stop tea4cups with SIGINT.

      file.

  * 2.11 :

    - Now works with old releases of Python (>= 2.1)

    - More powerful error handling at startup time.

    - Ignores errors in posthooks because the job was probably
      successfully printed so no need to stop the print queue.
      We log a warning instead in this case.

    - Makes the IPP message filename and the Job's billing code available.

  * 2.00 :
