The upgrade is now finished. Some of the new features are listed below.

Internal stuff:
* most of the NTP problems have been solved by the new firmware version 3900
* probes can use IPv6 to connect to the central infrastructure, provided
that their assigned controller also supports it. We'll be deploying IPv6 on
more controllers in the near future.

UI stuff:
* We replaced the geo mapping backend, which solves most (if not all) of the
"my town is not found" issues
* One can now enlarge the probe registration and re-geolocate dialogs so
it's easier to pick your exact spot on the map
* The "probe status" page now loads the sections separately, and it loads a
bit faster. You can reload each section separately using the small button on
the right hand side of the section header.
* We added an uptime graph to visualise the probe's uptime. Small
connectivity gaps (disconnect periods) don't really show up on this, as they
are are much shorter than the connected periods, but one can see bigger
downtimes (if they happen).
* We have better IPv4/IPv6 reporting in the top section

We also added some internal enhancements so that we can have more/better
reporting in the future. These changes are not (yet) visible to the users.
