Private comments permission changes

The goal of the change is to allow user to see his own Private comment + private attachment in rare cases where this User does not have permission to View private comments/attachments. Until this change, user didn't see his own comments even as an author.

Permission View private comments - user can see all private comments
Permission Set comments as private - user can enter private comments and see own private comments

Still, we recommend when allowing user to set comments as private, to also allow them to view private comments.

Legacy Scrum module - new task - hide project selection

The project selection was removed when creating task from legacy scrum module. There is no logical value in using Scrum module to create tasks in different projects than the current one. It only led to confusing behaviour.

Asset and configuration management - dashboard

You will be redirected to the dashboard when opening the ACM add-on. By default you will see widget with existing asset types.

Knowledge base - lookup page in text editor

While writing text in task comments, description, project history, noticeboard widget, etc. you can use the symbol § to trigger lookup for a knowledge page, which will be then linked in your text (similarily to symbol @ for lookup of users).
