Feature enhancements in this release

The following features are associated with this release:

Update to Zope 2.13
Zope 2.13 is the next stable release of Zope 2. It comes with a new and faster version of the ZODB, built-in WSGI support, updated Zope Toolkit packages and a much faster ZCatalog.
Add "SiteAdmin" role
Provide class of user who should have full access to manage content and configuration in a Plone site, but who should be protected from access to places where they are more likely to cause harm than good (such as the ZMI).
Tags MultiSelectionWidget w/scrollbar & checkboxes
Implement a new content tagging widget, improving usability and accessibility.
Improved commenting infrastructure
Include plone.app.discussion, which adds support for moderation, notifications, and greater extensibility.
Ship with plone.app.caching
Simplify and sanitise the setting of caching response headers.
Include plone.app.registry
Provides a debconf-like (or about:config-like) settings registry for Plone add-ons.
Include z3c.form
Utilize the z3c.form library.
Standalone UUID implementation
A lightweight, simple UUID mechanism that is independent of any content implementation.
Table sort internationalization
Provide a solution for making data sortable by dates in any format (such as "Monday 1st, June, 2010") without any javascript customization, and through a standard way.
Include plone.testing and plone.app.testing
Reduce the complexity involved in creating tests with a clean, well-documented framework based on layers.
Separate Products.CMFPlone from the Plone egg and its optional dependencies
The Plone package currently lists a number of dependencies which are not installed by default. We should make it possible for advanced integrators to avoid including that code at all.
Factor custom output transformations out of the editors
Refactor image captioning and UID resolution functionality, to make it independent of TinyMCE and kupu packages.
Set and enforce base coding standards for our own JavaScript
Clean existing JavaScript code. Define standards for future submissions.
