significant improvements to application security, reliability and

broken for some users in the last release

Windows servers including a plugin API bug that caused broken links to
plugin configuration screens

completely customize your MT application

numerous bug fixes with QuickPost and hierarchical display of categories
* Implemented better error checking and data validation throughout
the program leading to fewer dead-ends and cryptic error messages
