The default installation data have been cleaned up

=20

Since the removal of the demo in the 2015.11 release, a clean SQL dump i= s now used to install the system.

Online edit= or improvements

=20

A new feature made it into the Online Editor: image editing. While the f= eature is still a bit primitive, it will allow you to embed an image Conten= t item into a richtext field (EZP-25108= ).

In addition, several issues with the editor were fixed:

The "add content" toolbar will show up independently of the focus mode = (EZP-24829, EZP-25182), will disappear = when the editor loses focus (EZP-25181), and will be rend= ered correctly in IE11/Edge (EZP-25189)
html5edit input with HTML entities is now accepted (EZP-24732)
Richtext content can now be published with Firefox (EZP-2= 5161)

Enhanced PlatformUI performances with the combo loader

The assets used by PlatformUI will now be combined into a couple large f= iles. This drastically reduces the amount of HTTP queries required to load = the UI, resulting in a much shorter loading time.

Universal discovery widget search interface

=20

A search form has been added to the universal discovery widget. Combined= with the tree based navigation, this makes locating content in the t= ree easier than before.
