This bug fix release brings various improvements to the Template Studio and the processing of insert tags. In addition, the modern Twig-based page layouts have been further expanded.
The processing of insert tags has been standardized in various places and the authorization checks for preview links have been corrected.
In addition, the TinyMCE skin has been updated to "oxide" to better match the refreshed back end. Problems with file uploads and the new Row Wizard have also been fixed.
