The changelog is really long as usual but there are no explosive changes or new features, the main focus was porting from the old FCKEditor to the new CKEditor 3.3 (that now has come to a complete and stable feature set).

I also worked on updating all various softwares we embed (Zend Framework and jQuery plugins), fixing some bugs and reworking the AJAX stack.
