• Additional wider version of admin theme added (#751, contributed by @luku)
• New autoloader prevents many "white-screen" errors and otherwise consumed error messages from autoloaded files

Changes

• The theme configuration page now redirects back to itself on save, not to the Themes page (#744, contributed by @luku)
• TinyMCE's validation has been loosened (#727, contributed by @doana)
• TinyMCE's conversion of "special characters" to HTML entities is restricted to otherwise-invisible whitespace only
• Shell command names are escaped with escapeshellarg, not escapeshellcmd. In particular, this should improve treatment of paths containing spaces as is common on Windows
• "Add Input" buttons on element form are now "button" type buttons instead of "submit" type, so they no longer submit the form in the case of some scripting problem
• Collections no longer attempt to show the "Text" Item Type Metadata element when showing a preview of the items in the collection

• The admin record views now check for the specific "delete" privilege before showing the Delete button (this affects only users who alter the default ACL) (#750, contributed by @luku)
