/cspace-services/blobs/{csid}/derivatives) now include correctitemsInPageandtotalItemscounts. https://collectionspace.atlassian.net/browse/DRYD-1183REST API calls to the
systeminfoendpoint now include the correct build number (git commit hash), instead of always reporting 0. https://collectionspace.atlassian.net/browse/DRYD-1145The following fields are now correctly exported from search results, instead of being blank:
createdBy,createdAt,updatedBy,updatedAt. https://collectionspace.atlassian.net/browse/DRYD-901Fields with the same name in different schema now save properly. https://collectionspace.atlassian.net/browse/DRYD-989

Confusing login error messages and spurious login failures have been fixed. https://github.com/collectionspace/cspace-ui.js/pull/182
