Long overdue one-liner that will make life in pythonland much easier (MANTIDPATH environment variable). Re #1594

re #1691 - adjusting ConfigService to send POCO Notifications on change of a user property. Adding test for this. Adjusting the InstrumentSelector widget in MantidPlot to pick up on these signals and act on them.

Removed references to instrument prefixes which are now handled with the facilities XML file. The MantidPlot config dialog now includes the instrument selector widget rather than a standard combobox. Re #1533

Added getInstrumentFilename() method to return the filename of the instrument geometry defintion file. refs #1463

Also cleared some warnings. Re #1416

more doxygen warning hunting

Added new class MaskedProperty to mask some of the properties of ICat algorithms
Added ICat download directory to Build/Tests/Mantid.Properties file

Add a curve fitting page to the MantidPlot settings dialog to allow setting the AutoBackground property. Also fixed a minor issue in the Config service saveConfig that was overly zealous with adding new line endings to the saved file. Re #1310

Fix for problems with saving property files that contain line continuation characters. Also added a test for this. Re #1248.

Fix for Windows when ConfigService saving causes a crash if it encounters a blank line in the original file. Re #1248

Allow property values within the ConfigService to be changed at run time. Added a function to save the current configuration to a file. Re #1248

Re-jig the ConfigService so that the logging doesn't start up until after the Mantid.user.properties file has been dealt with. Re #1161.

Downgrade some of the logging messages in the ConfigService - they weren't necessarily errors and could be confusing. Re #1161.

Update SANS script and interface to include options to specify the range over which the transmission curve should be fitted. Re #1153.
Minor update to ConfigService to correctly handle non-existant directories in the properties file. Re #1152

Improved the handling of scripts paths in the ConfigService so that there are two separate keys for the Python scripts: those required by Mantid and those specified by users.
Updated SANS interface so that it better handles being unable to find the reduction script. Re #1152 

Change DiffractionFocussing2 to use rebin instead of rebinNonDispersive in the same way as Q1D. Tests show that it makes no difference to the result (well < 10^-11 anyway). Re #438.

handles this for algorithm file properties. The algorithms don't use this yet. Also added
ignore properties for the generated object files of the new Geometry directories. Re #767

The script to find badly performing detectors is complete, including examination of the background of experimental runs.  There's also a custom dialog box for entering parameters to the script. refs #769 closes #602

In the Matlab API fixed a problem with compilation against a new version of Matlab and finding property files.  Improvements to the documentation of some diagnostic routines fixes #590

Loggers should not leak now and can be disabled by calling setEnabledfalse)

Outputting files now differs under Windows and Linux. Linux now uses a directory under the user's home directory, $HOME/.mantid, to store things such as mantidsimple, logs, managed workspace files. This is basically so that the 
installation via the RPM can work properly. Windows behaviour should be unchanged. Re #587  

Log the offending statement and then ignores the property. Fixes #553.

Changed FindPeaks algorithms to use WorkspaceFactory to create their TableWorkspace properties (and not to do it in the constructor). Removed statics from ConfigService. Re #470.

Mantid.user.properties is now written by mantid if it cannot be found - so there is no need to deliver this in the installer.
Also logging levels set higher for files to alleviate speed problem on encrypted hard drives.
