EJBCA 3.6.2 released

[Tomas Gustavsson]

After lots of work 3.6.2 is now released.

This is a minor release but with a record amount of fixes for a point
release. New features, improvements and a lot of bugfixes
rounding a lot of rough edges.

Some very notable changes are:

- Major improvements to the External OCSP responder with more
configuration options and
completely new Audit and Account logging. With the new, highly
configurable, logging it is
suitable for using as a service charging for, and auditing, requests.
- New documentation feature with on-line documentation deployed in the
Web interface by default.
Question mark links from options that are hard to understand in the
Admin-GUI are now possible.
- Lots of improvements to the Admin-GUI with configuration for
autogenerated passwords and fixing a lot of small GUI bugs and quirks.
- Fail over mechanism for the LDAP publisher.
- Improved documentation for more HSMs, Admin-GUI, etc.
- Improvements for other app servers apart from JBoss.
- MS document signing extended key usage, and tool for importing
certificates from MS CA.
- Lots and lots of small bugfixes.
- Updated translations.

Read the changelog for details.

This is a plug-in upgrade from 3.6.x. See UPGRADE for the simple
