			<title>Alternate nzb download functionality / prevent fake nzb downloads</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
			  Recently spots are getting removed from the news servers more often.<br>
			  To prevent this from happening spotters are posting fake nzb files.<br>
			  The real nzb's are being hosted on other websites and linked to inside the spot web link or description.<br>
			  This new situation makes it hard for spotweb to function properly. 
        <br><br>
        Changes are made to spotweb to automatically find the alternative url from the spot and download the real nzb from the link.<br>
        Currently support has been added for http://base64.derefer.me links which result in a direct download<br>
        and http://alturl.com links which redirect to binsearch.info.<br>
        This new feature will try to download the alternate nzb if possible if not it will present the old nzb instead.

			<title>Show spam reports icon based on user configurable spam report threshold</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Spotweb now has the option show the spam reports icon in the spotoverview based on a user 
				configurable threshold. This allows a user to configure Spotweb such that it will show the spam icon when for 
				example more than 5 spam reports are available for a spot. Spots with less than 5 spam reports will not be 
				marked as spam in the spotoverview.<br />
				By default the threshold is set to 1 spam report meaning that nothing changes for the user unless he/she 
				chooses to use a different threshold.<br />
				Please run <i>upgrade-db.php</i> to update your database schema.

			<title>Installer changes</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Spotweb now contains an installer (install.php). In order to be able to safely support this (eg: not every user should be able to run this for an already installed Spotweb) and to allow for multiple type of installations within Spotweb this requires some manual intervention.
				<br />
			First, you need to remove the database information from your "ownsettings.php" file for now. You can either run the Spotweb installation wizard (recommended way) but this will create a new user and reset group membership for all users. An alternative way is to create an own <i>dbsettings.inc.php</i> file. Please consult the <a href="https://github.com/spotweb/spotweb/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions">Spotweb wiki</a> for more information about creating this dbsettings.inc.php file.

			<title>Systemwide Custom CSS</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Users could already specify their own CustomCSS but for some multi-user systems a systemwide
				custom CSS would be more interesting. Support for this has been added but it requires a small update to the 
				settings database table hence this notice.

			<title>Security group reset</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The balance between an open Spotweb system and an closed Spotweb system is always a conflict of interest during several types of Spotweb users. 
			<br /><br />
			In order to facilitate this better, the default Spotweb security groups have been changed adding two types of groups: "Trusted users" and "Anonymous user - closed system",
			these groups allow you to support more finegrained security permissions without tinkering too much with the settings in Spotweb.
			<br /><br />
			Unfortunately this means we have to reset all security groups within Spotweb - this means that if you customized any security settings within Spotweb that you have to check
			the system does not respond any differently than you want.
			<br /><br />
			If you want a closed system, please remove the "Anonymous" user from the "Anonymous user - open system" group, and add it to the "Anonymous user - closed system" securitygroup.

			<title>Quick Links linked to user preferences</title>
			<description><![CDATA[A requested feature has finally been implemented: de linking of Quick Links to user preferences. If you change personal
			preferences, quicklinks should be shown or hidden along with those preferences.<br />
			If you have quicklinks set manually in your (own)settings.php, they need to be updated in this version. Otherwise everything goes automaticlly.

			<title>Optimized spotcounting</title>
			<description><![CDATA[One of the slowest parts of Spotweb was the counting of new spots in the filterlist. This counting was this slow, that 
			when a certain amount of spots were exceeded, Spotweb would refrain from counting any newer spots to prevent hanging pages.
			<br /> <br />
			In this new version Spotweb uses a slightly less accurate, but much faster, method to determine which spots are new. This requires a very small
			schema change which will not take a long time to process. <br /> <br />
			After the database upgrade, a retrieve.php run should be done. This first retrieve run might take a very long time to complete as initial statistics
			are gathered at that moment. From then on, a very small retrieve.php impact might be shown but should be neglectable. Spotcounts however are not
			limited anymore and should be much faster.<br />

			<title>Introducing settings panel</title>
			<description><![CDATA[All major settings are now set on the Settings panel inside Spotweb. The database upgrade will be very fast, but you will

			<br />
			Please note that the old 'Admin Panel' has been renamed to 'User &amp; group management'.
