Modernized admin and front-side themes, significant changes to the markup and multi-edit system to remove some old tables and bad practices, AJAX saves on the ‘Write’ panel, a pub/sub hub for client events, more powerful sort options for list tags, security fixes… it’s all going on in Textpattern 4.5.0!
