+  to display localized dates in web interface.

+  and some FAQ entries
+- significantly more powerful form handling allowing editing of multiple
+  items
+  and creation of multiple items
+- tracker templates can contain subdirectories and static files (e.g.
+  images)
+  and we may now distribute templates separately from Roundup. Template
+  HTML files now have a .html extension too.
+- user registration is now a two-step process, with confirmation from the email
+  address supplied in the registration form, and we also have a password reset
+  feature for forgotten password / login
+- Windows Service mode for roundup-server when daemonification is attempted
+  on Windows.
+- fixed issues with dumb email or web clients
+- lots more little tweaks and back-end work...
