While core stayed almost intact, there have been major changes made to plugins and widgets. If you have written your own plugins and widgets, having inherited existing ones, review your code before updating to this version. It would be very simple to migrate, though. All layout specific widgets have been moved to layout modules, having the plugins only implemented base widgets, which are used (subclassed) by plugins and widgets specified in layouts. Moreover, a factory feature for plugins and widgets has been introduced. Take android layout as example.
- Plugin and widget factory added, which decreases the amount of plugin and widget code by 90%.
- Dashboard workspace cloning feature added. There are two options. Either clone your own workspace or if someone has marked his workspace as public and cloneable, an extra option appears on the public dashboard, which allows you to clone given workspace.
- Clone dashboard entry feature added (at the moment, API level only).
- In bootstrap 2 fluid layout, the menu items "Edit dashboard" and "View dashboard" swapped positions.
- Default widgets added for all plugins. All existing widgets relocated. If you have inherited from any layout specific widget, you will need to update your code.
- Bulk change users and groups in dashboard plugins Django admin interface.
- Weather 1x1 widget which formerly had uid "weather" got changed to "weather_1x1". If you used that widget, you may want to update your database.
- Fixed bug in public dashboard app, when requesting placeholders by their name in the template scope didn't work (while iteration through the placeholders did work).

2013-11-09
