This release contains improvements for the behavior of the breadcrumb in the back end with nested content elements. In addition, pages of root pages for which the maintenance mode has been activated are no longer listed in the sitemap.xml. Furthermore, empty languages can now be deleted in the metadata for files and the primary language (e.g. en for en_GB and en_US) is automatically added, even if there is no matching page tree. This means that only one fallback language can now be maintained without having to add a page tree with en.
