[Nicholas Skaggs <nicholas.skaggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, the changes to the tracker have landed. Thank you Stephane!

Here's a short changelist:

subscriptions page works
better subscriptions report
download availability data (no more 404 errors!)
 time filtering for history and top testers
FAMILY placeholder in testcases (working support for flavors!)
testcases collapsed by default
CSS from Pasi (new look to be feature in testcases; will take some time 
to update the old cases)
better handling of testcase without link
