  20 **Please Note, During this release cycle it was found that page content includes could leak their content as preview text to users
  21 that don't have permission to view the included content. It's recommended to re-save any pages that included other page content that's restricted to ensure included text is not shown in page preview text.**

  23 ### Header Changes
  24
  25 The header bar has received a few tweaks this release. First of all, A sign-up link will now be
  26 shown to public guest users that are not yet logged in, if registration is enabled:

  30 For users that have permission to manage other users, but do not have permission
  31 to alter system settings, a link to the Users admin area will now show instead of "Settings":

  35 ### Example Environment File Changes
  36
  37 The default `.env.example` file has received some changes. It has been cut down from 89 lines
  38 to only 31 lines which includes some better comments. It now only contains common configuration
  39 that's needed to get initially set-up.
  40
  41 A `.env.example.complete` file is now included as a reference to all the possible options that
  42 are available along with their default settings. Options can be copied from this as required.
