Changes

  • The theme configuration page now redirects back to itself on save, not to the Themes page (#744, contributed by @luku)

  • The red top border on admin content is now simply red instead of being made out of an image

  • The installer now checks for the "dom" and "filter" extensions before allowing install (#673)

Localization

  • New translations for Bengali (Bangladesh), Basque, and Occitan
