As usual, this release contains all bugfixes of 4.9.38 and fixes a bug in sorting images and downloads by date. Furthermore the caching performance has been improved for people using the {{date::Y}} insert tag and protected pages are displayed in the sitemap.xml again, so that rebuilding the search index for protected member areas works again. The most noticeable bugfix probably concerns the tree views in the back end (e.g. the page structure). There, the parent pages are now also displayed when searching or filtering, which should significantly increase usability.
