Release FRED-2.16

Hi, after some time I updated website http://fred.nic.cz/download with source files of our most recent version FRED-2.16 and installation procedures for supported operating systems Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 20. Few weeks ago we put this version of FRED into production and I can recommend it for use by other registries. There is a lot of new features since last announced version so this is just highlights: - Contact data management features (verification, merging identical contacts). Presented at last ICANN - http://buenosaires48.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-tech/presentation-contact-va… - Administrative blocking of domains - law enforcement agencies sometimes ask registry to disable domain or prevent any changes in domain. In this version web administration interface has 'Block' and 'Unblock' buttons in domain detail - Billing changes - in previous versions there was a problem with selecting proper price in price list when registry was in different timezone than 'Europe/Prague'. Billing is also optional feature in this version and if you want to enable it you have to set epp_operations_charging = on in fred configuration file for fred-rifd daemon. **Check this when upgrading to this version** - Better IDN. To enable IDN in previous versions you had to set some compile time option. Now system registrar can register IDN domains immediately and all registrars can register IDN domain when configuration option ;allow_idn = false' is set. Still, there is no checking against list of allowed code pages - A lot of bugfixes If you have any questions when testing, let me know.
