• The profile/status view is no longer called. You can extend/prepend the
  profile/fields view if you need a similar feature. Thewire is no longer
  adding the last wirepost to the profile. A wire widget could offer
  similar features. (47741728)

  practice to rely on widget config values to be always available. This PR
  corrects this behaviour. If you override core widget content views you
  may need to update these views.

Fixes #10244 (98c96b60)

• Instead of a span with class elgg-non-link now a regular anchor will be
  outputted with the class elgg-non-link (cba37560)

• elgg_get_admin_notices() accepts only an array. (28d297f1)
• Plugins can no longer rely on Elgg to "hide" metadata in queries. All metadata is
  assumed to be public. Plugins that read user profile fields in metadata will see
  all fields every time, and plugins that write user profile fields in metadata will
  have no effect. These plugins should instead access fields via annotations; see
  the profile edit actions and forms for reference.

hide overflowing content. and those matching .elgg-image, #profile-owner-block,
