<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Revert erroneous changes in rule permissions checking</para>
<para>A patch applied in 7.3.3 to fix a corner case in rule permissions checks
turns out to have disabled rule-related permissions checks in many
not-so-corner cases. This would for example allow users to insert into views
they weren't supposed to have permission to insert into. We have therefore
reverted the 7.3.3 patch. The original bug will be fixed in 7.5.
</para></listitem>

GetNewTransactionId()</para>
