+
+	* src/main/java/de/intevation/flys/client/shared/model/CollectionRecord.java:
+	  This record class uses the default mechanism to store/load values -
+	  it uses the setAttribute() and getAttribute() methods now.
+
+	* src/main/java/de/intevation/flys/client/client/ui/ProjectList.java: The
+	  list is sorted based on the project's creation time now.
+
+	* src/main/java/de/intevation/flys/client/client/ui/CollectionGrid.java:
+	  Removed. The collection grid is no longer used, because the fields are
+	  created by using default mechanisms (setting the field type, using cell
+	  formatter).
