This release brings back the "Show guests only" function and fixes duplicated context in the search results in the front end. Moreover, page trees in the back end are now displayed in the correct order again if a user is only allowed to see a subset of them. In addition, the performance when building the application cache has been improved and relevant for developers: The maker bundle has been given a little love.
