NEW Release LEPTON 7.2.0

Main task of this release was to rework the access system (groups and users). Please check your groups and users if they match new system.

As a result we have to remove the Talgos BE-Theme from our svn for capacity problems. It will hopefully be available as an addon on LEPAdoR as soon as someone got some time to maintain it. Please let us know, if you are willing to maintain the Theme.

7.2.0 also contains some important bugfixes, rewritten core files, additional methods and updated addons.

LEPTON requires PHP 8.1.x as a minimum (PHP 8.3.x recommended) and is already tested with latest PHP 8.3.11

You should read the list of deprecated functions/methods/files in the docs to check which modifications you have to do in your addons or templates.
