Sure. Here's a quick rundown of the major ones:

*) Moved to automake/autoconf system (./configure script)

*) Authenticated printing support

*) Server message support

*) Timelord patched and rolled into the distribution

*) Optional "dropbox" support

*) Admin "act-as-root" group support

There are many other minor (as well as major) fixes that I am probably
leaving out, such as the centralization of the randnum afppasswd file,
which now doesn't have to be in ~/.afppasswd, making centralized
administration possible. If I have forgotten something, which I am
pretty sure that I have, I hope someone on the list will be kind enough
to fill you in.

Thanks,
jeff
