8 [New features/Improvements]
9 * remove gratuitous uses of encodeHTML in admin templates. this speeds things
11 * make StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags handle the case when a tag is spread over

17 * StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags regexps didn't ignore case.

20 instead of Message module.

22 * fix call of StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags in
23 ServletModuleOpenIndy.insposting.
24 * Fix to_topic (just to_topic, not data.to_topic) select field in
25 posting.template that prevented the chossing of a topic in openposting from
26 working. luckily this bug didn't affect most sites since most installations

65 when double quotes were in a title form field for example.. (anything

68 first page, the search would be broken.
