Notable Changes / Bug Fixes

 * Order of a:hover and a:visited was changed in prosilver to be consistent with the CSS specification. This results in a minor change of appearance of hyperlinks. Because many prosilver-derived styles copied prosilver ordering of CSS elements, the same issue affects the derived styles as well.
 * ICQ and AIM service links updated.
 * It is now possible to specify whether banned users should receive mass emails.
 * reCaptcha references have been updated, this affects boards served over HTTPS.
 * Quick Search and Search within forum/topic now use GET forms to make the URL for search results easily accessible for copying.
 * Global variable deregistration code for poorly configured PHP servers has been moved to a startup.php file to ensure precisely the same behaviour across all user facing files.
 * Browsers no longer incorrectly autocomplete username and password in ACP pages that contain password input fields.
 * SID exposure in posting.php has been fixed.
 * Path disclosure in cron.php has been fixed.
