Since I last sent out a note detailing changes back in June...

     * Control Panel: Pasting into the chat entry field now preserves
line breaks.
     * Control Panel: Clicking on Project | Documents | BioFS now takes
you to the top level folder for the project. Before, it took you to the
overall top level folder.
     * Control Panel: When typing a URL into the chat field, added the
ability to specify the text to show, as well as the URL itself. Before,
you could say something like Go to http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/ to check it
out, and it would look like:

Go to http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/ to check it out

       Now, you can say Go to [http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/ our site] to
check it out and you will see:

Go to our site to check it out

     * Control Panel Scripting: Added in the ability to parse XML
strings within scripts. For an example use case, refer to the
cafemenu.py script in the BioCoRE Help (Public) project. A DOMElement is
returned, which has methods such as: getName(), getText(), getAttribute()

    * BioFS: Accessing /biocore/biofs via a web browser was causing a
technical fault. This has been fixed and now displays a list of public
projects. When you click on a public project, you will be taken to the
home page for the public project if one has been set up by the project
administrator.
     * BioFS: Revised 'new directory' code to reload the folder view so
that the user can see the newly created folder.
     * BioFS: Fixed a bug that was causing an error if a person that
isn't logged in tries to go to /biocore/biofs/ in their web browser.
     * BioFS:Fixed a bug that was causing problems when uploading to a
user's /Private directory.
     * BioFS:The web interface is more tolerant of filenames with non
alphanumeric characters now.

     * Notebook: Fixed a bug that was allowing a user to delete other's
entries when they shouldn't have been able to.
     * TCL Api:Fixed a problem with parsing of curly braces when saving
notebook entries.
     * Utilities:Fixed a error page that was showing up if a user tried
to remove themself from a project that they had already been removed from.
