* ADDED: "bootstrap-compact" template that hides some of the options in a drop down menu to ensure the nav bar fitting on one line on smaller screen sizes
* FIXING: Various usability issues with different screen sizes / device types in the "bootstrap" template
* CHANGED: Instead of having different options to enable and preselect certain formats there is now a generic `[formatter_options]` section where formats can be added to the displayed format drop down menu. A `defaultformatter` can be set, it defaults to "plaintext". The `syntaxhighlighting` configuration got deprecated.
* `zerobin.js` got a major refactoring:
  * moved from global namespace into anonymous function
  * events are no longer set via "onclick" attributes in the templates, but bound by from JS side
  * for simpler maintenance the functions were grouped into objects: zerobin (display logic, event handling), filter (compression,
encryption), i18n (translation, counterpart of i18n.php) and helper (stateless utilities)

  * [Upgrading from ZeroBin 0.19 Alpha](https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/wiki/Upgrading-from-ZeroBin-0.19-Alpha)

* CHANGED: the "opendiscussion" option now only controls if the discussion checkbox is preselected. Use "discussion = false" to disable the discussion feature completely (which also removes the checkbox from the template).
* FIXING: Behaviour of several conflicting configuration options. As a general measure unit tests for 9 of the options and all their possible configurations were added via a unit test generator.
* updated JS libraries: jquery to 1.11.3, sjcl to 1.0.2, base64.js to 2.1.9, deflate to 0.5, inflate to 0.3 and prettify to latest
* generally improved documentation, both inline phpdoc / JSdoc source code documentation, as well as Wiki pages on installation, configuration, development and JSON-API

* CHANGED: URL shortening button was removed. (It was bad for privacy.)

## Alpha 0.15 (2012-04-20):
* FIXED: 2 minor corrections to avoid notices in php log.
* FIXED: Sources converted to UTF-8.

## Alpha 0.14 (2012-04-20):
* ADDED: GD presence is checked.
* CHANGED: Traffic limiter data files moved to data/ (→easier rights management)
* ADDED: "Burn after reading" implemented. Opening the URL will display the paste and immediately destroy it on server.

## Alpha 0.13 (2012-04-18):
* FIXED: ''imageantialias()'' call removed because it's not really usefull and can be a problem on most hosts (if GD is not compiled in php).
* FIXED: $error not properly initialized in index.php

## Alpha 0.12 (2012-04-18):
  ## DISCUSSIONS ! Now you can enable discussions on your pastes. Of course, posted comments and nickname are also encrypted and the server cannot see them.
* This feature implies a change in storage format. You will have to delete all previous pastes in your ZeroBin.
* Added [[php:vizhash_gd|Vizhash]] as avatars, so you can match posters IP addresses without revealing them. (Same image = same IP). Of course the IP address cannot be deduced from the Vizhash.
* Remaining time before expiration is now displayed.
* Explicit tags were added to CSS and jQuery selectors (eg. div#aaa instead of #aaa) to speed up browser.
* Better cleaning of the URL (to make sure the key is not broken by some stupid redirection service)

## Alpha 0.11 (2012-04-12):
* Automatically ignore parameters (such as &utm_source=...) added //after// the anchor by some stupid Web 2.0 services.
* First public release.

## Alpha 0.10 (2012-04-12):
* IE9 does not seem to correctly support ''pre-wrap'' either. Special handling mode activated for all version of IE<10. (Note: ALL other browsers correctly support this feature.)

## Alpha 0.9 (2012-04-11):
* Oh bummer... IE 8 is as shitty as IE6/7: Its does not seem to support ''white-space:pre-wrap'' correctly. I had to activate the special handling mode. I still have to test IE 9.

## Alpha 0.8 (2012-04-11):
* Source code not published yet.
* Interface completely redesigned. Icons added.
* Now properly supports IE6/7 (ugly display, but it works. "Clone" button is disabled though.)
* Added one level of depth for storage directories (This is better for higher load servers).
* php version is now checked (min: 5.2.6)
* Better checks on posted json data on server.
* Added "1 year" expiration.
* URLs are now converted to clickable links. This include http, https, ftp and magnet links.
* Clickable links include ''rel="nofollow"'' to discourage SEO.
* On my public service (http://sebsauvage.net/paste/)
  * All data will be deleted (you were warned - this is a test service)
  * Default paste expiration is now 1 month to prevent clogging-up my host.
