This new version introduces a new mechanism to cope with module dependencies (plugins for this release and will be declined for themes soon), also includes the Breadcrumb plugin that some of you already use, updates the CKEditor editor and the jQuery library, and fixes lots of bugs et somes minor cosmetic issues.
The heritage/extension templating system has been applied to the legacy mustek templateset, in order to simplify the developpement of themes using it; some new criteria and filters have been added for posts and comments (and spams) lists; the tags and widgets are now lexically sorted for latin languages, and so on.
Important: If you have already installed the breadcrumb plugin, please uninstall it before doing this update.
