- Added an option to auto-fill the custom excerpt text field with the first post message, instead of it just being a placeholder.
- Authors can now be created without names/bylines/status. This change was made for compatibility when importing from the old XF1 version.
- The included importers now use XF2's built-in step-runner system. That means if you have an extremely large forum, you should no longer get memory time-outs when importing articles and features from the old version.
- Major fixes to install/upgrade procedures for those who are upgrading from the XF1 version... I'm honestly amazed that no one has complained about issues till now. But I guess if things have been working out for everybody; its fine...
- Added an option to change the "title" of the Portal page.
- Added a widget for portal categories and article counts.
- Added permission checking for the article list. Threads a user can not view will now no longer show up in the articles list. You can disable this permission check in the admin control panel.
- Fixed a bug where articles future-dated still show up on article lists.
