-- issue #254 -- Build Numbers separate from Version Numbers.  We've
wanted to do this for some time, and finally it is here.  There are new
Versioning Strategies called Specification Versioning Strategies.  These
work in conjunction with Counters.  When using a Specification
Versioning Strategy and a Counter, it is the Counter (build number) that
gets incremented on each build.  The Specification Version is updated
only when the user does a "build as" build.

-- issue #401 -- Deleting Modules does not always work.  This has been
an annoying problem that has been around for a while.  We finally got it
licked -- so we think.

-- issue #510 -- Make User name available to builders.  When
Authentication is turned on, the name of the currently logged in user is
passed to the ANT builder as property "anthill.user.name."  If the build
is as a result of a schedule, then the passed in property has a value of
   "Unknown".

-- issue #552 -- Return to User page when adding users.  This is a small
usability issue.

-- issue #553 -- Project list is unsorted.  The project list was sorted
but the sort was not case insensitive.  Now, the sorting is case
insensitive.

-- issue #554 -- Users in list are unsorted.  The user list is not
alphabetically sorted.

-- issue #561 -- Deleting Example projects does not work.  This is
really a duplicate of #401.

-- issue #562 -- BuildNotifier Exception when projects are copied.
Copying projects that contain build notifiers now works.

-- issue #563 -- Build notification email intranet link open intranet in
root directory.  The link now open the intranet in the exact build
reported by the email. Unless, the build reported by the email is no
longer available in the Intranet.

-- issue #565 -- Email to intranet link is wrong.  In 2.1.2 the link
contained the absolute path to the intranet location, this has now been
fixed.

-- issue #568 -- Intranet can loop indefinitely on startup.  Under
special circumstances, Anthill could loop indefinitely.  This was
related to the way the Intranet was storing references to projects.
This has now been changed and the problem is gone.

-- issue #571 -- ANT builder should cd to the build directory.  Some
build scripts are sensitive to the directory from which they are
started.  To ensure that such build scripts behave as expected, the ANT
builder is now invoked from the directory that holds the build file.

-- issue #572 -- ANT builder should allow setting of environment
properties.  Some build scripts rely on environment properties in order
to function correctly.  The ANT builder now allows environment
properties to be specified in the builder configuration.  When the
builder is invoked, it's invocation environment will contain the
specified properties.

-- issue #574 -- Clear Case driver that creates a new view for each
build.  This is a new Clear Case Base mode driver.  Rather than
requiring a pre-existing view, like the older driver does, this driver
can create the view on its own.  This driver creates a new view for each
build, unless an incremental build manager is used; in which case a new
view is created on every "clean" build.
