Changes:
1. New version of the slideshow module now uses PicLens to provide a rich, full screen slideshow.
2. Comment module now offers moderation and Akismet support to help weed out spam comments.

9. Support in RSS module for Media RSS format and random RSS streams.

11. Hybrid theme now uses automatic navigation between pages in its image viewer and slideshow. This means the slideshow will show all images in the album, moving between album pages as needed. Requesting the next/previous image in the image viewer will also load a new album page as needed.

20. User interface changes.

* Use YUI ItemTree instead of plain select box to select target album when moving items, creating replicas or link items.
21. Performance and stability improvements.
* Smarty templates now permanently cached by default. Turn this off in Site Admin / Performance when working on tpl files, so changes take effect immediately during development.
* Avoid reading EXIF data multiple times in Carbon theme.
* Some added caching in GalleryUrlGenerator.
* Use progress bar when adding items to avoid server or browser timeouts. Particularly helpful when adding many items from local server.
* Restructuring to greatly reduce the number of directories for language files.

25. Updates to improve compatibility with PHP 5.3.
26. Many bugs fixed.
Maintainer update request via PR#44300.
Changes:
* Check that a module defined db_deinit_rule(), st_init_rule(),
st_deinit_rule(), st_init_limit(), st_deinit_limit(),
st_init_threshold() and st_deinit_deinit_threshold() before
calling these functions.
* Corrected one race condition: ipa could forget about a SIGCHLD
signal and as a result it did not call waitpid(2) for exited child
process and could perform polling in select(2).
* "ipa -t" did not show "debug_exec" parameter for "autorule" section,
corrected.
