There are a couple of fixes that are important for our users:

• Linking to a Foswiki page from within MS Excel spreadsheet was broken due to the way Excel handles HTTP error codes.
• Under certain conditions some formfields would reset to their default value when special characters are in the selection.
• The RCS based store failed to load previous revisions of a topic when the underlying .txt file was edited.
• Several cosmetic issues in configure have been resolved.
• UpdatesPlugin was failing to show the extensions needing an update.
• We fixed a broken SCRIPTURL when the Forwarded header contains a list of proxies.
• A SystemV init script has been added for the FreeBSD platform.
• Compatibility with latest Perl releases has been improved.
• A body zone has been added to the default PatternSkin which brings it in line with NatSkin and fixes an issue when installing JQPhotoSwipeContrib.
• Chinese (Taiwan), French, Italian, Ukrainian are at 100% translated. Czech, Danish, German and Klingon are well over 90% complete.
