This release is primarily a bugfix release; notable changes include:

    leading to spurious logouts

Internet Explorer:
  * Fix submission issues under Internet Explorer

Rich text editor:
  * If returning to a reply/correspond page with the back button, the
    rich text editor will no longer double-escape previously written

  * Fix an empty 'text/plain' part when tickets are created using the
    REST interface.

    the Query Builder
