| 15 | * The default logo is now optimized for "Retina" screens, and can be scaled to any dimensions since it's a vectorial image. | ||
| 16 | * The Informations tab, in the bottom of each page, does not display the parent and the children of the current page anymore. Since these informations are accessible in the breadcrumb and in the children viewer, they were redundant.((( | ||
