 #130: keywords to narrow the scope of the global search (e.g. server:webserver searches "webserver" only in the "server" objects)
-Use the new HierarchicalKeys for Organization, Groups and Locations and use the hierarchy of organization for the profiles/user rights.
 Added a new web service to create UserRequest tickets (similarly to Incidents tickets). Based on code from Vincenzo Todisco.

 Bug fix: when changing the currently selected organization, go back to the initial (Welcome) menu instead of trying to stay on the same menu... which caused troubles (e.g. "New Contact" => assertion failed)
 Improved error handling when loading linkedset as attributes in one go in CSV import
 Don't make the Ticket's case log hidden in the 'New' state, since it's not hidden in the portal !
@@ -178,6 +177,10 @@ Better error message if the configuration file exists but is not readable
 In CLI mode, do not depend on the current directory for synchro/import.php and synchro/synchro.php: the scripts can now be run from anywhere.
 New module to easily manage attachments in one click instead of creating a separate 'Document' object. If this module is installed, portal users will create attachments instead of linked documents when uploading files with their ticket
 Added a new type of 'Trigger': TriggerOnPortalUpdate, called when the end-user updates a ticket via the portal.
+The deadlines display format can be configured.
+Lists can be displayed either as combo boxes (default and original behavior) or radio buttons, either horizontal or vertical.
+In the templates or menus, the sort order can be specified.
+Developers: DisplayBareProperties now called both in read and edition modes.
 
 Bugs fixed

@@ -215,6 +218,13 @@ A title was missing for the menu 'All Opened Changes' at the top of the page
 Fixed the parsing of OQL error messages: should be able to report the line number (usually 1) and the character where the error happened
 Don't display an error (assertion failed) if the user selects nothing (i.e -- select one --) in the "CSV template" tab.
 
+Productivity Enhancements
+-------------------------
+Quicker path to create or modify objects: buttons directly accessible next to the Actions popup menu.
+Limit the drop down menu to your favorite organizations: use the user preferences menu next to the Logoff button.
+For tickets, create/modify and apply an action in one step; E.g. Create and assign in one click. 
+Form validation buttons (Ok/Cancel) showed on top and bottom. Can be tuned (top, bottom or both).
