+---+++ Cnange in HTTP status return for authentication failures.
+
+The fix for Foswikitask:Item14445 changes the HTTP status return for authentiation errors from =401 - Unauthorized= to =200 - OK=
+when returning the Template Login screen. The 401 status is not valid unless it returns a WWW-Authentication challenge that can be processed by the
+_agent_. This is only valid when using HTTP authentication. The REST and JSONRPC actions will still return a 401, so that it can be handled by javascript.
+
+---+++ Running Foswiki on a Windows based web server
+
+This release fixes a critical error that prevented Foswiki from being installed on Windows.  Foswiki mistakenly used a reserved filename for 
+a module which blocked installaion on Windows.   This has been corrected in this release.
