I think we're near the end of the road with the betas, so I've uploaded 2.1.5 RC1 in the first thread to this post. In addition to all the features/fixes seen so far, I've added these:

New features:

+ Avatars
Code and setting added to display user avatars in the linkbit

+ Digital Object Identification (see www.doi.org)
DOI handling added to link entry and search as an option - this one was for me!!

+ Download
'Agree to these terms' asked on entry to LDM/category rather than per link and answer held in cookie

+ Hooks
Hooks added at some strategic places - see section 8 of the LDM manual

+ Administration
Settings added to limit maximum text length of main link/category description fields

Bugs fixed:
- Repaired the handler code for the uploadfiletypes setting
- Repaired array handling for php 4.3.2 and earlier
- 'Add link' with null url defaults to 'allow' instead of 'disallow' duplicates
- Modified debug table handling to prevent overflow
- Improved the error message when user forgets to tick the 'confirm' boxes for delete entry/category

As always, backup before upgrading, and let me know what you discover. I would like to get this release final as soon as possible, as there are some other things I want to work on. Thanks for all your help.
