- EZP-26472: Added previous exception to the REST excep= tion output

eZ Enterprise
In eZ Enterprise, most of the new eZ Studio feature development is being= worked on in a branch for the next December release, with the Form= Builder as well as Date-based Publishing being t= he major features. As a result, this release is mostly focused on consolida= tion and stabilization of eZ Studio with a lot of bug fixes and enhancement= brought to the product.
Demo Sites
Beyond eZ Platform and eZ Studio, each release is built and shipped toge= ther with our demo sites for both eZ Platform and eZ Studio. They offer way= s to test and see best practices on how to use the platform. This time, sin= ce v1.5.1, we have a few noticeable improvement to the demo site:
- Selective rendering of "premium" content for registered end users only.= Content is either rendered in full when the end user belongs to the "Membe= rs" group, or only as a teaser with a Register button:
- Registering new users based on the new UGC framework introduced in v1.5=
.0. It is accessible through the
/registerroute:
