(bug 96101)
+- This release of Bugzilla uses the Template Toolkit. For speed,
+ compiled templates are cached on disk. If you modify the templates
+ in order to customise the look and feel of your Bugzilla instalation,
+ the toolkit will normally detect the changes, and recompile the
+ changed templates.
+
+ However, if you do not set a webservergroup in the localconfig file,
+ (a generally unwise thing on a production installation of Bugzilla)
+ the template directory would have to be world-writable for automatic
+ recompilation to happen.
+
+ Doing that would be a security risk. So, if you modify templates locally
+ and do not have a webservergroup set, you will have to rerun checksetup.pl
+ to recompile the templates manually. If you do not do this, the changes
+ you make will not appear, and an error message will be reported.
+
+ Adding new directories anywhere inside the template directory may cause
+ permission errors. If you see these, rerun checksetup.pl as root. If you
+ do not have root access, or cannot get someone who does to do this for you,
+ you can rename the data/template directory to data/template.old (or any
+ other name bugzilla doesn't use). Then rerun checksetup.pl to regenerate
+ the compiled templates.
+ (bug 97832)
