Releases for Update Status

Changes since 5.x-2.1:

• #216750 by dww: Fixed an important bug where releases from higher branches than the currently installed version were not ignored in all cases. This resulted in bogus security warnings and faulty information being printed about development snapshot releases (#216309).
• #216366 by dww: Restored ability to ignore projects that are missing security updates or have been unpublished/revoked. This bug was introduced in version 5.x-2.1 via #197186.
• #216632 by webernet, dww: Improved accessibility of the available updates report by adding alt tags and title attributes to the icons.
• #217771 by dww: Added some CSS to prevent wrapping of release dates when viewing the available updates report with a narrow window.

This is the first official, stable release of the the 5.x-2.* series. This is very similar to the code that is now in the 6.x series of Drupal core. This contains numerous improvements over the 5.x-1.* series:

This is a (hopefully final) release candidate (RC) before the official 5.x-2.0 release. At this point, no new features will be added. Changes since 5.x-2.0-beta2:

Version 1.1 of the update status module will try to guess at the project your modules from CVS come from (as well as very old modules from drupal.org); it also allows you to turn off notification for particular modules. It also fixes some UI bugs and adds functionality to the interface.

Version 1.2 fixes the notification part of this, which was a little bit broken.
