This release contains performance improvements for Admin Mode, bug fixes for the RandomAssetProxy macro, Thingy, Calendar iCal feeds and several bug fixes dealing with version control.  There were a number of UI improvements.  A progress bar status display was added for pasting Assets, the Edit Branch screen, and changing asset rank so that if those operations take a long time the connections will not time out, and users know what's going on and don't click away to another page.  The AdminBar and AssetManager now work consistently, and return you to the page you started on after working with package and prototypes.  When groups are deleted, WebGUI will try to replace all usages of that group on the site with Admin to prevent hard errors when looking up a group that no longer exists.  Lastly, Shipping plugins in the Shop now have Group privileges.  Existing shipping plugins are updated to use group Everyone.
