<p>Lastly, two bugfixes have been made as well. The Empty Trash feature was no longer working due
to an earlier fix solving another issue. The feature has now been restored. In addition, the
indexer now checks that a keyword (tag or reference) is valid before saving it to the index.
Previously, an invalid keyword could be saved to the index and potentially crash the application.
