 * lots of other stuff...

Fixes:
 * LOTS!

== Pushed to after 1.6.1 release ==
/!\ Do not add new features here, only fixes. Feel free to help with any of these:

 * advanced search is still partly broken, needs more tests
 * Logging:
  1. cli likely needs a logging fix
 * Misc:
  1. think about transclusion params

== How you can help ==
 * in case you are still running a pre-1.5 moin version, please consider upgrading to latest 1.5 release (currently 1.5.8) before you want to upgrade to 1.6.x. Reasons:
  * The migration stuff for 1.6 is primarily tested with data taken from a wiki running 1.5.8 code.
  * The #moin support channel and also the wiki might be rather busy with 1.6 stuff once it is out and we like to concentrate on supporting 1.6 at that time.
  * The changes from 1.5.x to 1.6 are rather big, so better do 2 smaller steps than trying to do a huge version step.

 * Translations:
  1. check if your language translation on http://master.moinmo.in/ is complete (there have been some changes due to the new link and macro syntax) - see MoinMaster:HelpOnLinking and MoinMaster:HelpOnMacros. (!) All stuff in PRE sections needs to get fixed manually!
  1. /!\ translators please check correct translation of MoinMaster:FindPage - esp. usage of `<<AdvancedSearch>>`
  1. /!\ fix [[SystemPagesInXXGroupIncomplete]]
  1. fix/update translations of MoinMaster:HelpOnMacros and MoinMaster:HelpOnLinking
  1. fix PRE sections on MoinMaster having old macro or link syntax in them (the converter does not touch PRE sections)
   * search for `[[` used as a macro (wrong in 1.6, it is `<<Macro(...)>>` there)
    * (!) you can for example search for `[[BR]]`
   * search for old link, attachment, image syntax
    * (!) you can for example search for `["`
