If authentication is required in order to access the content of the feed, the link to the feed will not be displayed unless the user is logged in to the site. The user's active credentials are saved with the link, which means that, if those credentials are subsequently changed or revoked, the user must re-establish their link to the feed (if authorised) in order to regain access to its content.

Field name paths that are prefixed with ":" are now ignored during the field value substitution phase for properties of $Output HTML actions.

Initial values can now be specified for the fields in a new site object instance that is created using the $New Site Object Instance action. Each setting must be entered on a separate line and be of the form name=value, where name is the name of the field, and value is the initial value to be set for that field. If name is prefixed by "$", the field is set to value and removed from the form to prevent further changes. Multiple new instances can now be accepted via the $New Site Object Instance action. This is controlled by the setting of the new "Accept Multiple Instances?" field. The operation of the OK button is confirmed when this setting is active.
	Data Entry	The Structure option on the View menu is now available for all views, including those with multiple tabs. This option allows you to change the criteria that are used to generate the view. The new Grid option allows you to view the data in a grid, as an alternative to the tree. Views now indicate explicitly when a reference site object has not been selected. Previously, they reported that you were not authorised to view the information. The operation of the Cancel button on forms is now confirmed.
	Search	When the text to be found is 3 or more characters in length, search results now include all instances of site objects with yes/no fields that have both (i) names that contain the text, AND (ii) values set to "Yes". For example, if there is a yes/no field called "CurrentDriversLicence" in a particular site object, and you enter "driverslicence" or "driv" or "lic" as the text to be found, the search results will also include all instances of the site object for which the "CurrentDriversLicence" field is set to "Yes".

Site object summaries include (i) name, (ii) description, (iii) total number of instances, (iv) number of active instances, (v) number of inactive instances, and (vi) list of field definitions. The Objects option has been renamed Site Objects. The new Export option on the right-click menu allows you to export the selected site object in either (i) comma-separated values (CSV) format, which can be loaded into Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet software, or (ii) Extensible Markup Language (XML) format, which can be processed by other database management software.

When modifying the content of an editable region, the background colour is now set to the colour specified by the Invisible Border Colour field in the Site Properties. When modifying the content of an editable region, the stylesheet for the site is now applied only to the area that facilitates the editing.
