New items in 5.6.1b3 (since b1):

* Fixed many 5.6.1b1 issues, including occasional errors when flushing the cache, layouts not displaying, etc..
* Added the ability to control which words are excluded from URLs for SEO purposes (found in Dashboard > System and Settings > SEO > Excluded from URL Words)
* Improved display of Next/Previous block in edit mode. Re-introduced “Exclude System Pages” to the block, defaulted to on.
* Too small version compare/preview window in Firefox and IE has been fixed
* Fixing bugs in basic workflow notification (http://www.concrete5.org/developers/bugs/5-6-0-2/workflow-notify-on-approve-event-ignored/)
* Fixed breadcrumb auto-nav template not putting a separator between certain nav elements
* Fixed SQL error on search by theme on sites that upgraded before 5.6.0
* Page names are now less restrictive
* Lots of HTML fixes (mis-nested tags, incorrect tags, etc...) (thanks mlocati)
* Added SVG to image file types (thanks Remo)
* pkgID is now correctly duplicated on pages that have it set
* Fixing bug where custom styles on a block would disappear if a layout was added to that area (thanks mlocati.)
* ogg, ogv, and webm are now shown as videos (thanks mlocati)
* Changing attributes in sitemap or page search in dashboard wouldn’t trigger a page reindex. This has been fixed.
* added option in code for autonav templates to ignore exclude_nav attributes (thanks jordanlev)

Some nice bug fixes and improvements in 5.6.1!

Has the installation issue where the "Required Items Test" does not complete been addressed or fixed?

I'm very excited about the performance improvements for low-cost hosts. I have no money. :-D

I'm downloading the beta now and will be installing it on 000webhost.com, which offers free hosting. My attempt to install a previous version has failed in the past.

Assuming you want feedback, how do we provide it?
