Symphony.

With this release, there is also some sad news to share. Nils will be taking his leave from the core development team as he moves to further his studio's work. Over the years, Nils has worked tirelessly to improve and refine the interface that we all use daily. I'm personally very grateful and proud of the contributions from Nils (and Johnna) and I wish them all the best in future endeavours!

Additionally, with this version Symphony bumps it's recommended MySQL version to 5.5 as MySQL 5.0 has reached the end of active development.
