TH-487       Custom Metadata doesn't all show in info pane; it is there and can be searched on, but cannot be seen until some is deleted
TH-483     while loading Search Results, it would be nice if italic "loading..." message appeared (like it does when loading files for Lib/Alb)

new release to QA with fix for th422 
discussed access control with Robin
updated wiki notes on access control
released sprint 3 to production at night

The release last night went smoothly, but we found a path problem in album/SS.
The alfresco server is moved from isda-thalia6 to isda-thalia9, but the album/ss is still
pointing at isda-thalia6.
It's possible to manually update all the paths in album/ss , but it is labor intensive and error-prone. Since this problem will be resolved in sprint4 (we will not hardcode the path in sprint4), the temporary solution for this is to keep isda-thalia6 for now.
