New features:

• 4297 – “Date published” is not displayed on the live page using default stylesheet
• 4313 – It’s recommended to deny possibility to add categories with equal names

• 4301 – Categories list > Categories’ names are not ordered
• 4303 – Add Category/Channel/Feed page > “Update” button should be named as “Add”

In addition to the above mentioned issues, the assemblies were run through FXCop and identified issues were resolved.Note that I have not updated Gemini with the latest status of all these issues yet or checked the latest source into the vault. I will be doing that over the next few days. I am looking for help from people verifying the above fixes / enhancements, as well as testing it in general. I am hoping that we may finally be ready to mark this module as ready to submit to the core for final review prior to being released to production.

Thanks,
Josh
