+I'm proud to release version 1.4.10 of Roundup which fixes some bugs:
+
+- Minor update of doc/developers.txt to point to the new resources
+  on www.roundup-tracker.org (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Small CSS improvements regaring the search box (thanks Thomas Arendsan Hein)
+  (issue 2550589)
+- Indexers behaviour made more consistent regarding length of indexed words
+  and stopwords (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein, Bernhard Reiter)(issue 2550584)
+- fixed typos in the installation instructions (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein)
+  (issue 2550573) 
+- New config option csv_field_size: Pythons csv module (which is used
+  for export/import) has a new field size limit starting with python2.5.
+  We now issue a warning during export if the limit is too small and use
+  the csv_field_size configuration during import to set the limit for
+  the csv module.
+- Small fix for CGI-handling of XMLRPC requests for python2.4, this
+  worked only for 2.5 and beyond due to a change in the xmlrpc interface
+  in python
+- Document filter method of xmlrpc interface
+- Fix interaction of SSL and XMLRPC, now XMLRPC works with SSL
