 Launchpad.net has replaced SourceForge.net as NAV's project site
 provider.  All bug/feature number references from here on are
 prefixed with 'LP#'.

 New features and improvements:

  * The four NAV databases are merged into a single database.

  * IP Device Center is replaced by IP Device Info, written from
    scratch using Django.
  
  * Alert Profiles, user admin, user info and network explorer web
    tools rewritten from scratch using Python/Django.

  * AlertEngine har been rewritten from scratch using Python.

  * Netmap replaces the old Traffic Map solution.

  * Tomcat and PHP are no longer needed by NAV.

  * The report tool now supports local site reports using
    report.local.conf, while the report.conf distributed with NAV can
    be kept untouched.

  * Reports can now be configured to display column sum totals.

  * All available reports can now be listed, so they'll be available
    even if someone forgot to update the front.html configuration
    file.

  * More flexible location/room/device lookups and selects in the
    maintenance and device management interfaces.

  * LP#258331 (Warn user when port activity interval is larger than
               the actual data set)
