- When editing is based on category, could not upload files into edit form prior to saving post

Category Management
- Feature : Category Assigner role does not grant post creation/editing capabilities but specifies categories which are assignable to any user-editable post regardless of post ownership or status
- BugFix : Term-specific management roles did not grant editing access
- Change : Term-specific management role also grants ability to create child terms
- BugFix : Non-administrators could not delete categories
