Message:

Introduction of the new 'onaccountererror' configuration directive.
Small fix for software accounter's return code which can't be None anymore.
Make software and hardware accounting code look similar : will be factorized
later.

+# What should we do if the accounter's subprocess doesn't return
+# a valid result (for example doesn't return an integer on its stdout)
+#
+# Valid values are : 'continue' and 'stop'. 'stop' is the default
+# if unset.
+#
+# 'continue' means try to process as usual, this may introduce
+# accounting errors and free jobs. This was the default behavior
+# until v1.20alpha5.
+#
+# 'stop' means fail and stop the print queue. If an accounter
+# error occurs, most of the time this is a misconfiguration, so
+# stopping the print queue is usually the better thing to do 
+# until the admin has fixed the configuration.
+#
+# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
+# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
