v0.9.0

• Those new tests are:
• Control that the registration form is loaded before the answer is sent to the server.
• Control that the IP adress of the requester is the same when the form is sent back.
• Control that the browser used to register has Javascript capabilities as many spambots lack them.
• Control that the Javascript capability is not faked.
• Control that the registration is done within a maximum period of time.
• Control that the registration form is possibly filled by a human, in a minimum amount of time.
• Changed the way to control who can bypass the registration confirmation : Sabre now tests the "edit_users" capability and no longer the user level. This will ensure that all accounts with a high level of rights will always be able to sign in.
