[geeklog-devel] 1.5.2

[Dirk Haun]

Given the current progress (or lack thereof) I'm wondering if we
shouldn't re-schedule 1.5.2 as another maintenance release in the 1.5 series.

In fact, at work we're looking at upgrading the company site (from
1.4.1) and looking through the post-1.5.1 fixes that are in the
repository, I can see quite a few that I'd like to have sooner rather
than later.

So I made a local branch, porting over everything that didn't require
database, theme, or language file changes. The list is pretty long (see
below).

Opinions?

bye, Dirk
