Changes since release 1.5-beta1
* Major changes since 1.5-beta1
- The ./config directory as distributed now only contains a sample
config-dist.php file. All other templates/sample files have been
moved to ./config-templates or their contents have been merged
into the ./language/* files.
- The supplied config-dist.php has been cleaned up and contains some
important changes. It is recommended to create an fresh config.php
from the supplied config-dist.php file and adapt that one with your
local settings.

upgrading).
