Gentics CMP 8.3.0 Changelog

During start-up Gentics CMS will make sure that a schedule for the publish task exists. If not it will create a schedule that is executed every minute.

Administrator User Interface: The content maintenance module has been refactored to improve user experience.

New installations of the CMS will now have the changes
documented in the Guides to support
storing the language with external links applied automatically.

User Interface: There is no dedicated `https` flag anymore, when setting up a Node. The secure connection information is now taken from the protocol prefix (http/https) of a `hostname`.
