[[^ footnote]] extended syntax for auto-generated footnote
- you can mix individual denominators and auto-numbering (introductory footnotes & reference footnotes)
- [[^§ footnote]] allows you to define individual footnote denominators
- allowed denominators are alphanumeric characters and *, †, ‡, §, ‖, ¶
- If a already defined footnote denominator is reused, it defaults back to auto-numbering.
- [[^#10 footnote]] resets start for auto-numbering
- [[^c]] an empty reference refers to an existing footnote, if there is one

new: does no longer shows db->root_page as predefined cluster (as it is often mistaken as root)
- /NewPage - new page/cluster in root
- /HomePage/NewPage - possible, however the breadcrumbs navigation may incorrectly suggest that HomePage is the root directory

8. Themes

assigns styles for table headers and columns via :nth-child()

 /* users table */
.users col:nth-child(n+1):nth-child(-n+3) {
    width: 5px;
}
.users col:nth-child(4),
.users col:nth-child(n+6) {
    width: 20px;
}

CSS: uses var() for font-family, specific color attributions and similar

breadcrumbs: add the new first argument in the $this->get_page_path() call in header.php

-$tpl->breadcrumbs    = $this->get_page_path(false, ' &gt; ', true, true);
+$tpl->breadcrumbs    = $this->get_page_path(null, false, ' &gt; ', true, true);

now you can add message sets for your own scripts under lang/custom.<lang>.php

- this way the users own message sets get not accidentally overwritten by updates
