The main change in this release is the replacement of TinyMCE with HugeRTE as the rich text editor in the back end. This became necessary due to TinyMCE's changed licensing model, while HugeRTE continues to be available under the permissive MIT license. In addition, some obsolete code and data handling have been cleaned up.
