This release primarily includes further fine-tuning of the new page layouts based on Twig and slots, as well as the new pagination component, making it even easier to implement customizations in the future. In addition, the back end search has been improved in various areas, and support for insert tags—which was previously missing—has been added to various Twig templates.
