Release 6.8.9
New release is live - this adds:

1. Improved file handling (don't retrieve page images from S3 unless we really need them).


2. Eternal disk caching for S3 objects - objects no longer expire automatically.


3. Per-issue cache expiry on demand through a new admin toolbar

The Catapult tool now has support for MD5 generation but it doesn't use this yet - turns out that Amazon's eTag is explictly an MD5 of your content and this does correspond with the digests I'm calculating for the sample files. We can use this when checking for changed content in rsyncs and don't need to store our own MD5 as metadata for the object.

Checked ACLs for the bucket and test objects, those are fine - full_access for the owner and nothing more.

Finally to enable logging, then upload a live title and switch it over.
