| 18 | |||
| 19 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | * The breadcrumb tree navigation doesn't show the document translations any more when multilingual is disabled, because navigating to a document translation when multilingual is off doesn't have any effect: the default translation is displayed instead. You can still see the translations in the [[Page Index Tree>>extensions:Extension.Index Application||anchor="HAllDocumentsinatreeview"]] though. | ||
| 22 | * Template providers can now specify if they create terminal or non-terminal documents. See the [[documentation>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HAdvanced:Creatingterminaldocumentswithtemplateproviders"]] for more information. | ||
| 23 | * The //Template Type// option ("type" class property) of a template provider was removed since it was not user from the start and any existing values have been migrated to use the new "terminal" property. See the [[documentation for more information on the "terminal" property>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HAdvanced:Creatingterminaldocumentswithtemplateproviders"]]. | ||
| 24 | * Added support for list properties in LDAP user synchronization | ||
| 25 | |||
