Bug fixes

• [SV-27881] CollaborationGroupWrapper - getMember() fails due to incorrect sandbox configuration
• [SV-27654] ImageRenderer/ImageLinkRenderer - output might fail to validate
• [SV-27376] FileUtil/ImageUtil - possible to create files exceeding website's file size limit
• [SV-28133] Requester - incorrect Content-Type when sending JSON data
• [SV-28242] Requester - data (text body) sent in a multipart request should use UTF-8 as Content-Type.

Restored behaviour

• [SV-27665] SearchFactory.getSearchSortField - restore ascending/descending behaviour as it was in the Sitevision 4 family, but rename method arguments in the API documentation so it matches actual behaviour. Sitevision 5.0 included SV-26008 - a bug fix that reverted sort order implementation based on the argument names in the API documentation. That fix is as of Sitevision 5.0.1 removed. Sorting of search results implemented in Sitevision 4 will be unaffected but sort-related implementations that was created or updated in Sitevision 5.0 might have to be adjusted.
