 UI: Year of activities and follow-ups are no longer shown as a combobox, and therefore not limited to 2006. Day of year has also been converted to a text field. Error handling was improved. (B#1455423, reported by MH, fixed by ML)
 Core: Some fields of case/clients that could be de-activated from the site configuration can now be set as "no", "yes - optional" or "yes - mandatory". Previously, only "yes/no" was allowed, and there was no validation of the fields. On upgrade, LCM changes the "yes" fiels to "yes - optionnal", because this is how the fields were validated was before." (F#1439622, ML)
 UI: Now possible to add a text value attached to a keyword. This makes it easier to add custom fields for clients, organisations and cases. (ML)
 Trad-PL: New Polish translation. (MH)
 UI: Now possible to show a person’s name in format "Doe, John J.". Also changes sort order in "list of clients" and "list of users". Added as "site config" option. (F#1220809, ML)
 Core: New "new case" form, which allows to register a client for the case, and to write an initial follow-up. Uses Ajax for search functions. (F#1439259, ML)
 UI: Removed client,org,case "export" button, which is of little use since there is no "import" and the XML format was not very good. (ML)
