| 13 | == Flamingo == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Following the introduction of the Nested Documents feature, we have changed a lot our default Flamingo skin: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * The top menu has been removed and replaced by a drawer menu that you can expand by clicking on the top right icon | ||
| 18 | * The add menu has been relocated near the edit one | ||
| 19 | * The L&F of the Add, Edit, and "More Actions" menus has been changed | ||
| 20 | * A lot of actions have been moved to the "More Actions" menu | ||
| 21 | * The Breadcrumb is now also displayed for the home page | ||
| 22 | * The Breadcrumb now also displays the home page (instead of hiding it as it used to) if it is part of the current document's hierarchy. See [[XWIKI-12423>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12423]] for more details. | ||
| 23 | * The actions menus (edit, create, more actions) are now available from the rename, copy and delete actions. | ||

| 35 | == LDAP improvements == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | It's now possible to disable subgroups resolution using ##xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_sync_resolve_subgroups## property in ##xwiki.cfg## configuration file. Resolving each member to check if it's a group might be very expensive with big groups so if you know there is no subgroup you should really disable it. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | <insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!> | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | * The Navigation panel displays nested documents:((( | ||
| 44 | {{image reference="navigationpanel.png"/}} | ||
| 45 | ))) | ||
| 46 | * When renaming or copying a nested document the document title is updated to reflect the new document name if its previous value was equal the old document name. This was happening already for terminal documents. We extended the behaviour to nested documents. | ||
| 47 | * Fixed various issues for the WatchList application which should now work well with Nested Spaces | ||
| 48 | * The Administration mode for spaces and wikis now uses the standard reference-based breadcrumbs instead of the previously custom section-based breadcrumbs.((( | ||
| 49 | {{image reference="administrationUI-breadcrumbs-standard.png"/}} | ||
| 50 | ))) | ||
| 51 | * The Administration mode no longer features a select input on the right side for navigation between spaces since that input does no longer scale in the context of Nested Spaces. Thus, the breadcrumbs should be used instead and the future UI improvements that will soon become available in this direction. | ||
