Changes Since 3.4.2

General Improvements

• Resolves all accessibility errors and most alerts (as reported by the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) for backend admin pages as listed in the Accessibility report.
• Uses HTML class for Longtext_counter counter line and provides CSS to by default make this red and bold if the maxwords limit is exceeded.

Bug Fixes

• Prevents access code from changing if request a copy is approved multiple times (and warns if request has already been approved).
• Fixes formatting of results from user search introduced by accessibility changes in 3.4.2.
• Updates issue citation to use
  rather than and tags so it works with accessibility changes introduced in 3.4.2.
• Deals more gracefully if History DataObj's parent does not exist when checking if it is an EPrints::List.
• Fixes internal server error when trying to save values to a non-multiple compound field.
