+Enhancement: Respect archiver limits
+
+The archiver service can now announce a limit for both the amount of resources and 
+the size of the currently selected resources. The web UI now respects those limits 
+and shows a disabled download button once the limit has been reached.

 Bugfix: Interactive texts in OcTooltips
 
 The new tooltip texts would only be initialized once and then didn't offer 
-the possibility of chaging reactively. By updating the directive, we've changed that.
