• Button fixes in the modal window;
• Improved the ability to subclass the RenderPlugin template tag;
• Fixes 'hover' effect on menus for deeper submenus;
• Added the ability to mark (Sub)Menu's 'active';
• Improvements to the create_page API to support multi-site configs;
• Reduced queries on placeholder.clear by 60%;
• Auto-detect django-suit instead of using explicit setting;
• Implemented transaction.atomic in django 1.4/1.5 way;
• Added a automatic dynamic template directory for page templates;
• Internal support for using custom forms;
