+    -  Various problems were noted resulting from php's use of UTC as the
+        default timezone. Now, on installation or upgrade, the installer
+        gets the correct timezone from the system and sets it as a php
+        option in a .htaccess file in the install location. This solves
+        multiple problems and allows today's date and the current time
+        to be determined from the php date() function as part of the
+        settings.php once per page load instead of having to query the 
+        database multiple times per page load. Also added the option to
+        allow apache to read the .htaccess file to the <Directory>
+        section of the application's conf file in 
+        /etc/apache2/conf-available
+    - Renamed the installer's opendrs-update.sh script to files_update.sh
+        to align with the standardized installation process used by
+        other applications.
+    - Changed the install.sh script to align with the standardized
+        installation process used by other applications.
