Unfortunately if a PUT or POST request that has a body fails to
read it then Apache will sometimes fail to return the response it
is given to the client properly, instead erroring:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44782
To work round this we call rewind on the body for every request using
a filter, which forces it to be fetched from Apache into a file.
There seems to be some sort problem with ruby 1.9 where a response
body that is a single line with no newline causes the response not
to be sent properly.
Both Google and Yahoo guarantee that the email address they return
during the OpenID authentication are emails that they have already
verified:

Therefore special case these OpenID providers and automatically
activate the new users account without requiring a separate email
verification step.
This therefore reduces the signup procedure by one step and makes
it easier for new users of these OpenID providers, which cover the
majority of users.
Move away from using an absolute positioned #content div as this was
causing some weird problems when users scrolled down, like not showing
bottom padding, and prematurely cutting off the left keyline.
Now, the content area uses relative positioning most of the time, and
fixed positioning when the full screen map is in place.
Using fixed positioning on the big map is nice because you can now scroll
down to see more sidebar content, but you won't end up with an ugly block
of white space under the map.
A number of small usability improvements / fixes, including:
* Small inconsistencies in spacing fixed
* Links now visually differentiated from headings in the menu
* Search bar actually looks right (or at least not as broken) in IE7 now
* New heart on the donate button + larger click area on the donate button!
