As always, this release includes the latest changes from version 4.9. In addition, the deletion of HTTP cache entries for alias content items has been improved and the validation of identical page aliases across multiple domains has been corrected. Furthermore, an issue with the configured pagemounts in the permissions has been fixed that could cause an entire root page not to be displayed even though the permissions explicitly allowed for it.
