 Japanese is added to the supported languages.

 Added "_" as an allowed character in DNS-names.

 Added three parameters for LLC type 2 configuration:
 * LLC Response Time

 * LLC Inactivity Time

 Email notification is improved in that pin/port-status is used to 
 detect Offline and PaperOut status, as well as previous use of 
 extended status.

 The account list is increased to make room for around 100 entries.

 Added support for printers that act as hubs, e.g. 
 Epson Photo 915 and Canon i475D

 Corrected problems in version 6.46
 ==================================

 When presenting printer information, the support for the printer's 
 display character set is improved.

 Querying for information from the printer has been improved.

 Appletalk support is improved:
 * config printer is advertised 
 * two printers are advertised per port.
 * Auto detect printer type is now turned on/off individually for each port.
   - default value is on
   - default type is Laserwriter

 FTP has been improved in that if a print-job is closed with a reset 
 (RST) from the host, the received data is only discarded if RST arrives 
 before FIN. 

 The replies sent when probed for status by Windows "Standard TCP/IP port" 
 are corrected.

 USB support is corrected: if a print-job is started before a printer  is 
 connected, the data will be printed when the printer has been connected.
