[ZendTo] New beta release 6.06-3

[Jules]

Hi folks,

I have just released a new beta 6.06-3.

As usual, get it from the beta page at
     zend.to/beta

The list of changes & fixes is fairly extensive, but the urgent one for 
me was that if you sent a "request for a drop-off" for some time in the 
future, and you weren't in the same timezone as the ZendTo server, it 
would muck up the start and end times completely.

Here is the full Change Log since the last production release (6.05)...

- Number of days a drop-off lives before expiry shown at the bottom
   of the main menu is now the default number of days, not the maximum
   number of days.
- Template caching totally disabled.
- Bug fixed where requesting a drop-off from a different timezone from
   the server would result in incorrect start/expiry times being set.
- Updated moment.js to latest version.
- Changed yum/rpm upgrade behaviour for templates (*.tpl) like this:
   Before, if you changed a template file and then upgraded to a newer
   RPM with a newer version of that template file, your old one would be
   left in place and the new one installed with ".rpmnew" on the end.
   You would have to know to check for these and handle them appropriately
   or else most likely your ZendTo would not work.
   Now, your old one will be renamed to ".rpmsave" and the new one
   installed and used. Your ZendTo site will work, but you may be missing
   any local customisations you had made before. But the old version is
   still there as ".rpmsave" so you can apply your changes to the new one.
   Note: Hopefully you use the locale translations system to change the
         text displayed by the templates, so you aren't modifying them
         at all!
- Corrected missing parameter to validUsername() when attempting to
   unlock users.
- Fixed bug in language changing, which could have resulted in changing
   language not immediately taking effect.
- Minor change to header.tpl to allow Manty to set $zendToURL to '' and
   still have the Home button tidily.
- Increased length of DB fields storing Organization names to 256
   characters, and added length checks to "request a drop-off" code so
   excessively long organization names won't break anything.
- Added "--startDateTime" and "--sendemail" parameters to "autorequest"
   automation script.

I would be really grateful if you could just quickly test it for me, at 
which point I can do a production release for you all.

Many thanks!

P.S. The apparently "boring legal disclaimer" below isn't quite as 
obvious as it looks... ;-)
