• Resolved issue with relative Urls and Taxonomy Navigation links.
• Updated Taxonomy Navigation to display a single list of terms for nested Terms without any children.
• Links within List Headings that are configured to display out-of-the-box lists and libraries such as Blogs or Wikis will point to the item's page or default detail view.
• Added DisableAAMRewrite attribute to sparch:menu control in the master page. When set to True, Mega Drop Down will not rewrite any links based on Alternate Access Mappings.
  For example:

• Resolved issue with Export button not working when multiple versions of jQuery are included in the master page.
• GlobalMenuUrl attribute now supports ports other than 80 and 443 when using a root path (e.g. '/') as the Url value.
• Extended Web Applications will no longer appear in the Web Application drop down on the Select Location dialog.
• Added the CSS Clear property to Borders and Settings under the Spacing section. When floating elements, Clear specifies which sides of the element should float. Valid values are none, left, right, both, initial, or inherit:
  

• Taxonomy Navigation Urls will be listed as fully qualified Urls for the current Web Application.
• Lists can now be excluded from caching by specifying the list Url in the CacheExcludeList attribute within the sparch:menu declaration in the master page.
  
  For example:
  
  

  $$sparchstart CacheExcludeList='http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/MyList' $$sparchend

  
  The list located at 'http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/MyList' will be not be included in Mega Drop Down's internal memory cache.
  
  Multiple lists can be declared by separating each list Url with the pipe (|) symbol.
  
  For example:
  
  

  $$sparchstart CacheExcludeList='http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/MyList | http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/AnotherList'$$sparchend

  
  The lists located at 'http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/MyList' and 'http://sharepoint.example.com/lists/AnotherList' will both be excluded from Mega Drop Down's memory cache.
  
  The Url specified for the CacheExcludeList attribute should exactly match the Url defined for the List Heading.

• Resolved licensing issue after restoring content databases from other farms. It is recommended to update License Manager for this release.

This should prevent "Control not registered" errors after content databases are restored.
• Updated CSS to better support third-party themes and master pages.

  Sections that contain sub-sections have the children class applied and can be referenced as .mdd-section.children
