Overview
Comment:Improvements to the way backoffice is launched, especially on unix where it now runs in a separate process using fork(). Also fix some minor bugs in other parts of the system that were found while testing backoffice.

Allow manifest artifacts to omit the C and U cards, because otherwise there are some historical manifest artifacts in Fossil itself that will not parse, and there may be similar artifacts in other repositories. ... (check-in: b3ccc4bf user: drh tags: trunk)

Improvements to comments. No code changes. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 1b54dd79 user: drh tags: fork-backoffice)

A new implementation for "Forum" in which each forum post is an artifact. This merge includes lots of enhancements to email notification, backoffice, configuration, and other subsystems, all in support of the new forum artifacts. The forum feature is not complete nor bug-free but at this point it seems good enough to continue development on trunk. ... (check-in: 99fcc43f user: drh tags: trunk)
