-  * Namespaced user groups, eg nz.ac.waikato - There is now support for "namespaced user groups" which are group names that use dots and look like a //reversed// domain name (but needn't be a real domain, just words separated by dots), and users who are members of namespaced user groups are automatically members of subsidiary groups (which is each prefix upto any dot in the full namespaced user group name). For example, a user who is member of user group ''nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky'', will be able to access not only documents and collections restricted to that very group, ''nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky'', but will also have access to collections and documents restricted to ''nz.ac.waikato.cs'', ''nz.ac.waikato'', ''nz.ac'' and ''nz.ac''.
+  * Namespaced user groups, eg nz.ac.waikato - There is now support for "namespaced user groups" which are group names that use dots and look like a //reversed// domain name (but needn't be a real domain, just a sequence of characters separated by dots). Users who are members of namespaced user groups are automatically members of subsidiary groups (which is each //prefix// that can be formed upto //any// dot in the full namespaced user group name). For example, a user who is member of user group ''nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky'', will be able to access not only documents and collections restricted to that very group, ''nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky'', but will also have access to collections and documents restricted to ''nz.ac.waikato.cs'', ''nz.ac.waikato'', ''nz.ac'' and ''nz''. Note however, that the group ''nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky'' does not give access to content restricted to a group whose name is //not// a prefix of it, like '''waikato.cs''.
   * Groups now support users Users can now be made members of a group that is a domain //reversed//, e.g. user nz.ac.waikato.cs.pinky will hor any proper prefix thereof, and it will check users are members of any prefix of that group when choosing to give access to them.
