update_status 5.x-2.0-beta2

Changes since 5.x-2.0-beta

Bugs fixed:

• #153756: Fixed math bug when comparing the timestamps of development snapshots.
• #153798: Fixed warning logic for development snapshots and flag security updates.
• #153502: Made update_status E_ALL compliant.
• #154540: Minor wording fixes for the UI and help texts.
• #153569: Fixed obscure CSS problem for Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows XP.
• #154689: Settings page looked bad in marvin theme due to CSS class conflict.
• Don't clear the update_status cache when an admin saves the system themes page, since in 5.x, there is no information about theme updates.

New features and enhancements:

• #153741: Added support for optionally reporting anonymous usage statistics.
• #153757: Added a setting to only warn when there are security updates.
• #154049: Added a setting to control how frequently to check for updates.
• #146564: Major performance gain for fetching available update data: directly fetch the .xml files instead of going through the Drupal menu callback inside project_release.module.
• #153783: Don't hard-code dark black (#000) in update_status.css, use theme's default foreground color.
• #149079: Further visual clarity about the recommended version: use a subtle "zebra stripe" with a slightly lighter shade of the status color for the entire recommended version line.
• Completely re-wrote the README to match 5.x-2.* reality.
