Summary of changes from July 18, 2015 to July 25, 2015.

These changes were promoted to stable.

General

• User profiles on public installs (those with policy.allow-public set) are now public. This includes any information in custom fields. See T4830 for discussion.
• Added Badges, a new prototype application for recognizing user status and accomplishments.
• Added Phurl, a new prototype application for shortening URLs.
• There is an upcoming mandatory migration from old Differential hunk storage to new Differential hunk storage. Installs with a large amount of data and a long history can avoid maintenance downtime by running this migration manually in advance of when it becomes mandatory. Follow T8623 for discussion. This migration is a few weeks away.
