[development] Important patches

[Gerhard Killesreiter]

Hi there!

There are a number of patches which should be reviewed and tested so 
that they can be committed:

http://drupal.org/node/14591
http://drupal.org/node/52911
http://drupal.org/node/39460
http://drupal.org/node/52369
http://drupal.org/node/53628
http://drupal.org/node/51303
http://drupal.org/node/51415
http://drupal.org/node/53177

I would like to release a release candidate some time this month.

Cheers,
    Gerhard
