Stable release.

A few minor bugs were found in the release candidate and fixed in this version. It's not different from the RC1 otherwise.

Features:

Support for attachments - it's now possible to download, view, create and upload attachments;
Bug view form improved - it is rearranged to be more compact and usable;
Remembering last used values in the New Bug form. The last entered values for all enumeration fields are remembered. When you add another bug, the last used values will be set by default. Also, the last used Version, Component and Milestone are remembered per-product;
Quick navigation from Blocks, Depends and Url. If one of these fields is not empty, then it is possible to jump to the referred bug records by pressing on the field's label;
Remove bad bug - it's now possible to remove an erroneous bug from the local database. This mainly concerns situations when there's a permanent error, caused, for example, by deletion of the bug in Bugzilla;
Quickly jump to the comment's text on Bugzilla web page by right clicking on the comment and selecting corresponding command;
It is now possible to remove a connection and to rename a connection from the pop-up menu (right click on connection node in the Navigation Tree);
New action to alphabetically sort the "child" nodes of the selected node in the Navigation Tree.

Fixes:

Fixed problem with multi-byte characters (for example, in Japanese charsets) that caused corruption of string values.
