This release fixes the "ptable problem" that was unintentionally introduced in 4.13.7. It had caused the wrong content elements to be displayed in e.g. a news item. In addition, it is now also possible to generate a link in the Markdown content element via insert tag (Example: [This is my link text]({{news_url::42}})) and content elements and members can now also be searched for via ID in the backend.
Changelog of the fixed issues in Contao 4.13.8:
- #5185 Make the maker-bundle compatible with symfony/maker-bundle >= 1.44.0 (leofeyer)
