KNOWN ISSUES in bug tracker:
1. Issue 5: Diff engine not working properly, algorithm compares words it must be changed ...
2. Issue 323: Breadcrumb category/subcategory names not translating in item view
3. Issue 334: SEF creating code adds id and cid segments always, even when a menu item exists
4. Issue 338: Warnings in item manager tab when joomfish not installed
(
note: duplicate breadcrumbs is not bug, it is rather a limitation since the appear if both menu item and category / item names are appended to pathway, will implement parameter for clean breadcrumbs, e.g. only items, or only category names and item name)
