In cases where a scheduler execution finished (successful or with an error) during unavailability of the

more executions until the CMS was restartet.
The behaviour has been improved so that the scheduler will no mark the execution as finished as soon as the
backend database is available.

Administrator User Interface: Sorting of the construct categories has been fixed.

Administrator UI: Mesh browser opens the editor for the multilingual item (page/image/file) inconsistently, so that its particular language variant could have never been reached. This has been fixed.

to restrict the returned construct categories to the ones that have at least one construct which is assigned to the given node.
