 Minor changes
 -------------
 The license has been changed to AGPL (replacing GPL/LPGL)
 #421 Sort IP addresses on INET_ATON (API only, see #520 to have this as the default sort order for NW Interfaces)
 #520 Capability to define a default sort order (PHP/XML)
 #439 Record and display changes in the link sets (ex: Members of a team)
+#569 Mandatory date (and time) fields are prefilled with the current date (and time).
 Implemented the "multiple choices" in search forms for Enums and External keys.
 Added a refresh button (and creation /modification messages) on the details of an object
 Friendly names: improved the behavior. Now fully compliant with end users expectations (e.g. a list of contacts shows the friendly name of the persons and team, not only the attribute 'name', the search can be performed on the friendly name as well)

 Added a new favicon
 Cosmetic enhancements to ease the search for a class in the schema.
 Integration of the latest version of CKEditor: version 3.6.4, released on 17 July 2012
+error.log moved into the log directory
+Display an empty string for the friendlyname of a NULL external key
+New developer tool: set log_queries=1 to enable query logging into data/queries.log. The accumulative log data/queries.log can be replayed with test/replay_query_log.php which produces a result file (to check the stability of the results) and a benchmark file (to see the efficiency in CSV)
+Debugging: run_query now produces the debug output (log_kpi_duration)
+Optimization of SQL queries: reduce the number of JOINS, assuming that data are consistent. Can be disabled with config setting query_optimization_enabled => 0.
+New parameter to tweak the display of Impact anaysis: which tab to display first? list or graphics?
+Performance enhancement for impact analysis: avoid looping in the recursion.
+When iTop is in read only mode, then the portal displays a banner and prevent the user from accessing the modification forms
+Added some checks around the configuration of PHP sessions since it seems to cause a lot of troubles.
