Legal Case Management System 0.7.2 released

Hello,

We have released version 0.7.2 of the Legal Case Management software,
this is the second version of the development branch. This release 
fixes many bugs and aims to stabilise the development branch.

The most notable changes since the last development include:

- The search "client/org/case" function, which uses ajax, now displays
  a "request in progress" when searching, so that it is more clear what
  is happening when the server is slow to respond.

- The default case status is now 'open' rather than 'draft'. This can
  be reverted back to the previous behaviour using "my_options", see
  http://www.lcm.ngo-bg.org/article135.html for more information.

- A more descriptive error message is now displayed when an export fails
  and the required configuration has been documented here:
  http://www.lcm.ngo-bg.org/article147.html

- It is now possible to create a new organisation directly from the "new
  case" form. This must be activated explicitely from the configuration
  panel.

- The term 'case alleged crime' was changed to 'case problem'. 
  We are attempting to remove the terms specific to criminal law which
  are present in the software, and to provide a more flexible solution
  for administrative law and community centres.

- The management of contacts was much improved to be more flexible on
  which fields are mandatory and which are recommended.

- A new 'date of birth' field was provided for clients.

- New German and Italian translations and an updated French translation.

Known bug(s) in this release:

- The resulting menu of the search "client/org/case" function is
  difficult to click in (tested in Mozilla Firefox). If there is a
  text widget under the menu, the browser will give the focus to the
  widget instead of the menu item. Temporary solution: instead of
  using the mouse, select the menu item using the up/down arrows on
  the keyboard. If anyone has any suggestion on how to fix this 
  issue, please do not hesitate to contact us!

- If the MySQL 'File_priv' is not set and the administrator imports
  a database, LCM will delete the database (this is expected and quite
  explicitely mentioned) but then will fail to import the database.
  As a result, the administrator will be unable to login. 
  Temporary solution: delete the "inc/config/inc_connect.php", LCM
  will launch the installation procedure, which will allow the admin
  to create a new account. Make sure that the Flush_priv is set, then
  re-import the database.

Upgrade information:
To upgrade from a previous version, overwrite the files then login as
administrator. This will trigger the upgrade of the database structure (if
necessary).
