As always, this release contains all bugfixes of version 4.13.13 and thus also 4.9.36. Furthermore, various bugs in the template selection have been fixed, so that the correct variant templates should be displayed now. Also, the selection of custom templates should work as expected again. Furthermore, the buggy toggle function (the icon with the eye) for the member and user management has been fixed and the missing locking mechanism for too many login attempts has been restored.
