Release notes:
- New Feature: Allow articles to be closed for commenting.
This should hopefully reduce the amount of time I spend cleaning up after spammers. I have started with closing comments for anything older than 30 days. This should at least let me concentrate on page 1 and not have to go back to older stuff.

Release notes:
- Finally converted security from the truly ancient ACEGI to Spring Security 3.1. The configuration is much simpler now.
- Began migration to Spring MVC 3.2; roughly one third of the controllers are complete.
- Updated to Hibernate 4.2. This is a temporary stop on the way to using JPA and Spring Data.
- Removed the old Hibernate OpenSessionInView pattern. Unfortunately this required wrapping almost all data calls with Hibernate.initialize() due to lazy collections. Another TODO...

Release notes:
- Moved to using HTTPS throughout the entire site.

Site Update - 2.5.8

This is the first code update in a while... New in this release:
- Moved all code repositories to Git. These can be browsed via GitHub .
- Updated Download module and Links section to reflect new locations for all resources.
- Updated the site to Maven 3. There was some significant bitrot in the codebase that needed to be cleared up to get this working.
Other upcoming changes include:
- Move from deployment as a Tomcat WAR file to a standalone app embedding Jetty. This should result in faster restart times and decreased resource utilization.
- Remove CardSpace support as it has been deprecated by Microsoft for some time now and never really gained wide adoption.
- Update libraries to more current versions. For example, update to Spring 3.2 (using 2.0 currently).
- Move to using HTTPS throughout the entire site.
Domain name change
