   * **GLI Changes: **
     * **Webswing GLI** - a lot of tidying up and stability fixes. Introduced in 3.11, Webswing GLI allows running the GLI in a browser. (But regular, desktop GLI is not going away, and still available as before.) WebSwing GLI replaces the client-GLI with Remote GS3 server combination and GLI applet/GLI Webstart application. Refer to the [[https://files.greenstone.org/tutorial/gs3-current/en/all_tutorials.html#webswing_gli|Using WebSwing GLI (Web GLI)]] tutorial for instructions on how to start using WebSwing GLI. It's mostly the same as Desktop GLI, so the linked tutorial runs you through just the differences. See also [[en:user_advanced:webswing_gli|Webswing GLI page]] for additional info on getting it working.
-    * **the Files tab.** Added mainly to support Webswing GLI users, the Files tab gives a view of the entire collection - unlike the Gather tab, which just shows the import folder. Using the Files tab, a user can add resources, xsl files, javascript etc to their collection. Previously this would have required logging in to the server and uploading files.

This tab is only active in Expert mode - to change modes, go to File->Preferences->Mode.
     * **custom fields** Allows adding custom metadata names for indexes, sort fields, facet fields - in case you need to use extracted metadata that doesn't end up in the metadata lists in GLI.
     * ** shared-collections-editor** New authentication group in webswing GLI - allows the user to edit shared collections, but not personal collections. Gli now also provides the option when creating a new collection for it to be personal or shared (depending on the user's authentication groups).

   * The RSS button (see [[en:user:rss| the RSS page]] for more information) gives a transformation error. - To fix this please edit web/interfaces/default/transform/gslib.xsl - copy the collNameChecked variable definition from web/interfaces/default/transform/layouts/header-vars.xsl into this file.
-  * If you edit the collectionConfig file to add a plugout line, it gets removed by GLI. TODO: link to updated GLI.jar
+  * If you edit the collectionConfig file to add a plugout line, it gets removed by GLI. Solution: use the import options -saveas and -saveas_options on the Create Pane instead.
-  * Incremental build doesn't update the RSS information with any deletions.
+  * Incremental build doesn't update the RSS information with any deletions. Solution: do a full rebuild to remove all the deleted items from the RSS info.
