Upgrade Notes

/blogs/edit_entry,\
/blogs_aggregator/edit_entry,\
/document_library/edit_file_entry,\
/message_boards/edit_message,\
/portal/comment/edit_discussion,\ 

Removing the above paths from 'auth.token.ignore.actions' will prevent the following features from working:

• Blog entry drafts and Wiki page drafts will no longer be automatically saved when the user's session expires
• Unauthenticated users will no longer be able to add a message in the Message Boards or add comments in the various apps that support comments.

To keep using these features, the above paths must be re-added after applying the patch.
