Server Update, 2013-08-19

Another two weeks, another release! A variety of bug fixes, primarily, and some assorted improvements. For those of you using replication on resource-constrained servers, this release includes code to make ProcessReplicationChanges run in constant memory, which should hopefully be an improvement.

With help from Michael Wiencek and the rest of the MusicBrainz team, here’s what we’ve done in the last fortnight:
