Type Change
Security the helper plugin for update logging is only installed when the update server supplies a valid checksum for it, and only from the Joomill update server
Fix the category blog view no longer renders a share block in the category description. That block came from the content events the blog layout fires for the category itself: the category was treated as an article, and the category id was looked up as an article id, so the buttons shared an unrelated article. The plugin now only responds to the com_content contexts whose subject really is a single article
Fix the LinkedIn share summary no longer reads an undefined `text` property when the article record is loaded from the database in category and featured view
Change the share buttons are no longer appended to the article text, introtext and fulltext. They are returned to the `onContentBeforeDisplay` and `onContentAfterDisplay` events, so Joomla stores them in `$item->event->beforeDisplayContent` and `$item->event->afterDisplayContent`, which the article, blog, featured and archive layouts output exactly once. Templates that output more than one of text, introtext and fulltext, or that dispatch the content events a second time, no longer render the buttons twice
Change the layout now decides where the buttons land. Top renders them above the article body and Bottom below it, on the spot every template reserves for content plugins, instead of inside the article text itself
