This repdigit release contains - as always - all bugfixes of version 4.9.36. In addition, the preview URL feature has been revised, so that the URLs can now be valid only for the specified page if required. The validity period can now also be completely controlled by the user. In addition, a bug with empty insert tags has been fixed, which caused e.g. that {{user::*}} led to errors during guest visits.
