Changes
In addition to what's been introduced in [[6-4-2-beta]]:
- Tag manager allowing to rename, merge and delete tags as needed.
- Tags are now becoming case sensitive and special-char sensitive ("changé" is different from "change" and from "Change"). This fixes an array of problems but creates sort of duplicate tags. The next step will be have tag aliases which will group related tags together.
- Enhanced Tag Cloud widget
- Strengthened upgrade script.
- Enhanced and more responsive Bootstrap Forums skin.
- Enhanced widget editing screen.
- Enhanced plugin management screen.
- Better responsive user profile (disp=user)
- Bug fixes (many)
