Bricolage 1.6.5

I'm pleased to announce announce the release of Bricolage 1.6.5.
This maintenance release addresses a number issues discovered since
the release of version 1.6.4. Some of the more important changes
include:

* Previewing stories with related media that have no associated
file
no longer causes an error.

* Switched to using "DBI->connect_cached()" from using our own
database connection caching. This change does bump up the
minimum
required version of DBI to 1.18, though the latest version is
always
recommended. It's also the right thing to do.

* Fixed issue that could cause Bric::Util::DBI to create
inconsistent
transaction states.

* Passing an undef via the "workflow__id" parameters to the
"list()"
method of Story, Media, or Template really does again cause
Bricolage to correctly return only those assets that are not in
workflow. It wasn't as fixed in 1.6.3 as I had thought.

* Vastly improved the speed of the query that lists events, and
added
an index to help it along, as well.

* The FTP mover now properly deletes files rather than erroring
out.

* Users without EDIT access to the start desk in a workflow can no
longer create assets in that workflow. Nor can they check out
assets
from the library, as there's no start desk for them to check
them in
to. But they can still check them out from other desks that they
have EDIT access to.

* Time zone issues have been fixed to be more portable. Some
platforms
that experienced Bricolage unexpectedly shifting cover dates and
other dates and times by several hours should no longer see this
problem.

* Adding a new element type with the same name as an existing or
deleted element type no longer causes an SQL error.
