Image Metadata API

No news.

Improved Use of Permissions

This has been merged to master, though some details may still need to be tweaked before the 4.1 release; please test and report any problems.

Front End Updates

Chris is making progress using CSS grids to solve the responsive search box problem that has been bothering us for a couple of years – his new pull request should allow the box to move around without requiring two search boxes in the markup.

Next feature in progress: account menu AJAX (to put information into user's header to notify them of important account status items like holds, etc.).

Also some progress on using Hunt to load statuses on demand.

Browse Handler Optimizations

No news this time.
