The changelog script was still executed even if the connection to the database was not available in the beginning, and the contents of the changelog_applied table could not be loaded.

Editor User Interface: When using the Repository Browser and viewing a list with more items then the page-item-count, causing paging navigation to be shown, navigating to a page which is not the first page and then navigating to a subfolder the Repository Browser tried to show the same pagenumber as selected before. Fixed this by correctly refreshing pagenumber after navigation occured.
