 Major changes
 -------------
-- A brand new data model has been designed to make iTop more compliant to ITIL.
-- Graphical views have been developed to represent the relations between CIS.
-  Two views are available today.
-  * "impact" defines the CIs that are impacted by a given CI.
-  * "depends on" defines the CIs that are a threat to a given CI.  
-  When creating an incident ticket, the impacted CIs and contacts to notify are
-  automatically computed, and attached to the ticket.
-- The UI has been reviewed to make the application more professional.
-- The CSV import tool has been improved to make it easier to use.
-- A Web service has been developed to allow tickets to be created automatically
-  from emails. This feature simplifies ticket creation for end-users.
-- User management: Finalized the UI to create new users and manage their profiles
-- Authentication: Added the possibility to rely on an LDAP authentication, or
-  and external authentication (e.g. Web Server single sign-on, relying on a .htaccess file)
-
+None: this is a maintenance release!
 
 Minor changes
 -------------
-- User welcome splash screen: message displayed to new users, the first time
-  they logon to iTop
-- Implemented validation of attributes entered in forms
-- import.php has been finalized, and is the preferred way to load/synchronize
-  data in a non-interactive way
-- New menu to edit the Audit Category and Rules

+#311	Improved the reporting in the bulk import GUI (reconciliation of external keys, how to specify "undefined")
+#293	Show the IP address against the device in the IP usage table for a subnet
+#276	Show mandatory fields during CSV import
+#285	Email addresses displayed as Mailto hyperlinks
+Nicer display of the CSV import results...

+Allow n:n links to link several times to the same remote object (if "duplicates)=> true in the linkedset definition)
+#284 Improved the behavior and reporting when attempting to create a document after a huge file
+#111 Improved the data loader, and added a REST service to load data from a file.
+   This is particularly interesting to facilitate the migration from an older installation.
+

+Tested successfully with IE8 and Chrome.
+Fixed the "Relationships" Flash navigator so that it works also on Safari. (tested with Safari 5.0.2 on Windows)
+- Fixed the search form, and also fixed the search/selection of objects to link (n:n links) that was broken on IE8.
+Fix to prevent IE 8 from running in IE7 compatibility mode... to be tested...
