Fixes
Link Manager: Handling of javascript:filename links

Editor: Color customization
Fixed an issue that prevented customization of the editor's Text Color and Background Color palettes
Feature enhancements
Page Notifications: Email messaging
All page notification emails now include a link to the page notifications management page.
Editor: Style menu behavior
The Style menu has been updated to limit the appearance of custom styles to five, with any additional styles now appearing in a submenu.
Private Sites: 403 Forbidden Error Message
Our search API has been updated to respond with the proper "403 forbidden" error when a user has not logged in to a private Expert site. Previously, users were presented with a "200 OK" error, with no further information provided.
Site Structure: Prevention of inadvertent new page creation
Currently, pro members who attempt to follow a link to a page that no longer exists will trigger the creation of a new page. Sites can now be configured to prevent this, and instead, deliver an error, "Page could not be found," with links to related articles.
Site Structure: Deletion of page children
Currently, pro members who attempt to delete a page have the option of leaving that page's children in place, which results in structure errors. Sites can now be configured to prevent this, and instead, warn the user that a specific number of child pages and files will be deleted.
