  • Fixed transactions being handled wrong in the publish method of Page
  • Fixed toolbar items generating invalid style attributes when the item has no icon
  • Fixed show_placeholder_by_id and show_uncached_placeholder_by_id raising Exceptions instead of failing silently when not in debug mode
  • Fixed placeholder scanning with super blocks possibly causing infinite loops.
  • Improved performance when the advanced permission system is disabled
