boost performance)
- Implemented new notification bar to replace the notification bubble we
had before
- Fixed more issues with geocoordinates
- Wrapping up work on client side usage tracking (important for
arbitrary access)
- Making language fallback work for referenced entities (via LabelLookup)
- Transformations for pass XML dumps got merged, should fix
