* Install: Due to log DB changes, old hist table will NOT be imported. That means log data will not show in events or system log.

* Group: All characters tab will show all characters regardless of active, but account is missing if inactive. 
* Group: Due to deadlines, the delete account button does not function. Highly recommended to deactivate an account.
* Event: Inactive accounts will NOT show up in any column in Subscriptions tab. This may be a good thing.
* Event: When sort by time is selected, users will be sorted by first entry (subscription ID) regardless of future status changes.
  This bug is present since 1.90
* Event: Due to deadlines, the irrelevant and relative times feature does not work properly.
* Event/Admin: Due to deadlines, Log does not have the right categories, and clear log button does nothing. 
* Admin: Breaking News from RT2 is incompatible with RT 3, and will not be imported.
* Event: Log may incorrectly show the status for whiteboard moving as 531/532. See manual appendix on this.
