Fixes

This release includes updates to address the following;

• Some pages would be inaccessible due to an ACL configuration issue.
• Some pages would be inaccessible due to LDAP configuration.
• The link to 'CATS Professional Version' has been removed (no longer exists)
• a bug which caused newly created tasks to have a time of 00:00hrs has been corrected (thanks @wjcheers )

Full details and links to the changed code are in the release below.

Upgrading

Upgrading from previous versions is supported in the following scenarios;
in all circumstances take full system backups before any upgrade
upgrade from 0.9.1a or later by the following steps.

• Check that you meet the new minimum requirements. Note that opencats 0.9.4-1 will not install unless you meet the minimum PHP requirement.
• take a full backup of the opencats SQL databases using mysqldump / built-in backup tool.
• take a full backup of your existing opencats directory using tar / built-in backup tool.
• install the new version of opencats in your existing opencats directory and follow the standard installation guidelines in the opencats documentation
• remember to choose 'upgrade the existing installation' during the installation wizard!
