+Version 2.20.2
+--------------
+
++ Adding a new attachment and taking the bug at the same time does not
+ create a referential integrity problem anymore if the bug was marked as
+ a duplicate (bug 332705).
+
++ Some additional admin links have been added to the sidebar (bug 282613).
+
++ A new test has been added to our test suite, named 012throwables.t.
+ It will now make sure that all tags used in ThrowUserError() and
+ ThrowCodeError() are defined, and that there are no unused tags (bug 312042).
+
++ whine.pl now works correctly on MySQL 4.0. MySQL 4.1 is not affected
+ (bug 327348).
+
++ contrib/merge-users.pl allows you to merge two user accounts. This is
+ especially useful when a user opened several accounts and only one
+ should be kept (bug 188264).
+
++ The login form on index.cgi again works correctly on a fresh installation
+ (bug 328108).
+
++ Email preferences are now set correctly when creating a new user account
+ using the ENV method (bug 327355).

- disappear by 2.22. For more information on how to use the $dbh methods,
- see: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBI/DBI.pm
