                        month, ...
        REPORT_PURCHASE: reporting on purchases
        REPORT_SALE: reporting on sales by periods and by product, category of
                     product, ...

    New features:
        KERNEL: Tiny ERP server and client may now communicate through HTTPS.
                To launch the server with HTTPS, use the -S or --secure option
                Note that if the server runs on HTTPS, the clients MUST connect
                with the "secure" option checked.
        KERNEL: the server can now run as a service on Windows
        Printscreen function (Tree view print)
        KERNEL: added a new --stop-after-init option which stops the server 
                just before it starts listening
        KERNEL: added support for a new forcecreate attribute on XML record 
                fields: it is useful for records are in a data node marked as 
                "noupdate" but the record still needs to be added if it doesn't
                exit yet. The typical use for that is when you add a new record
                to a noupdate file/node.
        KERNEL: manage SQL constraints with human-readable error message on the
                client side, eg: Unique constraints
        KERNEL: added a new system to be able to specify the tooltip for each
                field in the definition of the field (by using the new help="" 
                attribute)
        ACCOUNT: new report: aged trial balance system
        ACCOUNT: added a wizard to pay an invoice from the invoice form
        BASE: print on a module to print the reference guide using introspection

        PRODUCT: products now support multi-Level variants

    Improvements:
        KERNEL: speed improvement in many parts of the system thanks to some
                optimizations and a new caching system
        KERNEL: New property system which replace the, now deprecated, ir_set 
                system. This leads to better migration of properties, more
                practical use of them (they can be used like normal fields), 
                they can be translated, they are "multi-company aware", and 
                you can specify access rights for them on a per field basis.
        KERNEL: Under windows, the server looks for its configuration file in 
                the "etc" sub directory (relative to the installation path). 
                This was needed so that the server can be run as a windows 
                service (using the SYSTEM profile).
        KERNEL: added ability to import CSV files from the __terp__.py file
        KERNEL: force freeing cursor when closing them, so that they are 
                available again immediately and not when garbage collected.
        KERNEL: automatically drop not null/required constraints from removed
                fields (ie which are in the database but not in the object)
        KERNEL: added a command-line option to specify which smtp server to use
                to send emails.
        KERNEL: made browse_record hashable
        ALL: removed shortcuts for the demo user.

                 data (open invoices without move/movelines)
        ACCOUNT: better bank statement reconciliation system
        ACCOUNT: accounting entries encoding improved a lot (using journal)
        ACCOUNT: Adding a date and max Qty field in analytic accounts for 
                 support contract
        ACCOUNT: Adding the View type to analytic account / cost account
        ACCOUNT: changed test_paid so that the workflow works even if there is
                 no move line
        ACCOUNT: Cleanup credit/debit and balance computation methods. Should 
                 be faster too.
        ACCOUNT: use the normal sequence (from the journal) for the name of 
                 moves generated from invoices instead of the longer name.
        ACCOUNT: print Payment delay in invoices
        ACCOUNT: account chart show subtotals
        ACCOUNT: Subtotal in view accounts
        ACCOUNT: Replaced some Typo: moves-> entries, Transaction -> entry

        ACCOUNT: added the comment/notes field on the invoice report
        BASE: added menuitem (and action) to access partner functions (in the 
              definitions menu)
        BASE: better demo data
        BASE: duplicating a menu item now duplicates its action and submenus

             to manage corrections to actions)
        CRM: fixed wizard to create a sale order from a case
        CRM: search on non active case, not desactivated by default
        CRM: Case ID in fields with search
        HR_TIMESHEET: new "sign_in, sign_out" using projects. It fills 
                      timesheets and attendance at the same time.
        HR_TIMESHEET: added cost unit to employee demo data
        MRP: improvement in the scheduler

        PROJECT: when a task is closed, use the task's customer to warn the 
                 customer if it is set, otherwise use the project contact.
        PROJECT: better system to automatically send an email to the customer 
                 when a task is closed or reopened.

    Bugfixes:
        KERNEL: fix a huge bug in the search method for objects involving 
                "old-style" inheritance (inherits) which prevented some records
                to be accessible in some cases. Most notable example was some 
                products were not accessible in the sale order lines if you had
                more products in your database than the limit of your search 
                (80 by default).
        KERNEL: fixed bug which caused OO (sxw) reports to behave badly (crash 
                on Windows and not print correctly on Linux) when data 
                contained XML entities (&, <, >)
        KERNEL: reports are now fully concurrency compliant
        KERNEL: fixed bug which caused menuitems without id to cause havoc on 
                update. The menuitems themselves were not created (which is 
                correct) but they created a bad "default" action for all 
                menuitems without action (such as all "menu folders").
        KERNEL: fix a small security issue: we should check the password of the 
                user when a user asks for the result of a report (in addition 
                to the user id and id of that report)
        KERNEL: bugfix in view inheritancy
        KERNEL: fixed duplicating resource with a state field whose selection 
                doesn't contain a 'draft' value (for example project tasks). It
                now uses the default value of the resource for that field.
        KERNEL: fixed updating many2many fields using the (4, id) syntax
        KERNEL: load/save the --logfile option correctly in the config file
        KERNEL: fixed duplicating a resource with many2many fields
        ALL: all properties should be inside a data tag with "noupdate" and
             should have a forcecreate attribute.

        ACCOUNT: bugfix in balance and aged balance reports

                 available in the tax "python applicable code"
        BASE: allows to delete a request which has a history (it now deletes the
              history as well as the request)
        BASE: override copy method for users so that we can duplicate them
        BASE: fixed bug when the user search for a partner by hitting on an 
              empty many2one field (it searched for a partner with ref=='')
        BASE: making ir.sequence call thread-safe.
        CRM: fixed a bug which introduced an invalid case state when closing a
             case (Thanks to Leigh Willard)
        HR: added domain to category tree view so that they are not displayed 
            twice
        HR_TIMESHEET: fixed print graph
        HR_TIMESHEET: fixed printing timesheet report
        HR_TIMESHEET: Remove a timesheet entry removes the analytic line

             no address
        MRP: fix Force production button if no product available
        MRP: when computing lots of procurements, the scheduler could raise 
             locking error at the database level. Fixed.
        PRODUCT: added missing context to compute product list price
        PRODUCT: fixed field type of qty_available and virtual_available 
                 (integer->float). This prevented these fields to be displayed
                 in forms.
        PROJECT: fixed the view of unassigned task (form and list) instead of 
                 form only.
        PURCHASE: fixed merging orders that made inventory errors when coming 
                  from a procurement (orderpoint).
        PURCHASE: fix bug which prevented to make a purchase order with 
                  "manual" lines (ie without product)
        PURCHASE: fix wizard to group purchase orders in several ways:
            - only group orders if they are to the same location
            - only group lines if they are the same except for qty and unit
            - fix the workflow redirect method so that procurement are not 
              canceled when we merge orders
