 - Added an option for hosters to limit the number of assets that may be
   created on a WebGUI site.
 - Added a change url function that will allow an editor to change the URL of
   an asset permanently (circumventing normal versioning).

   create a page form if they are in admin mode, and click on a link to
   a page that doesn't exist yet.

   forward.

 - Readded the purge option to the trash manager.
 - Added an advertising management system.

 - Added save buttons at the top of all the HTML forms for easier access.

 - Updated TinyMCE rich text editor to version 2.0.5.1.
 - Disabled the rich editor for Safari because it doesn't work correctly.
 - Added install/uninstall functions to the asset and wobject skeletons to
   make custom assets easier to distribute.
 - Added a mechanism for importing and exporting packages. This is useful for
   trading styles and other content between sites.
 - Added a database cache option as an alternative to memcached.
 - Removed page caching system and added individual asset caches, because not
   everything should cache in the same way.
 - Converted WebGUI to use a new object oriented session system. More details
   in migation.txt.
 - Added a sort alphabetically option to the folder asset.
 - Added a User form field type.

   E-Wise)
 - Added "201" http status to various entity creation responses.
 - Replaced the old search engine system with a brand new one, that is more
   powerful, easier to use, and more flexible.
 - Added output chunking as an option for asset www_ methods. The net effect
   of this provides a fairly significant performance increase to what would
   otherwise be slow or complex pages. More details in migration.txt. The
   amount of the increase depends upon the complexity of the page, but now
   complex pages should render almost as fast as simple pages.
 - Removed the JavaScript, RawHeadTags, and StyleSheet macros in favor of
   adding a Head Block parameter to templates. This was needed in order to
   implement content chunking.
 - The SMTP mail backend has been replaced with a new API that's capable of
   sending attachments, HTML messages, and more. This will introduce many new
   options for developers.

   reliable, and scalable.

 - The group mail screen now allows sending of HTML messages.
 - Added prequery statements to the SQLReport and configurable allowed statements
   to the database link properties. (Martin Kamerbeek / Procolix)

   more powerful and will use slightly less memory.

 - Added Captcha form control type.
 - All IPs used by WebGUI (Settings: debugIp and Group: ipFilter) now accept
   IP addresses in CIDR format.  They also will accept multiple IP addresses
   if they are separated by commas.  Whitespace is ignored.  The upgrade
   script will migrate the data automatically, and hoverHelp documentation
   has been updated to reflect the changes as well.
 - The Rich Editor now has a master reset that allows disabling any individual
   Rich Editor across the entire site without querying the user.
 - Commit options have been removed from the Asset Manager "More" and Wobject
   type icon context menus.
 - The Navigation Asset now allows setting the MIME type of its output so that
   you can generate non-HTML navigations or take advantate of the Google
   SiteMap feature.

 - The main page for the Help system is now a "Table of Contents" with a
   tabbed view to make scanning for content easier.
