In real menus, Page items with no translation in the current language are hidden together with their children, so one menu can be assigned to EN/TR/AR. | commit:942a452c | [mds-dark-1.15.1.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.1.zip) |

| 1.15.0 | 2026-10-17 | Superseded | Reverts the 1.14.x Default-template changes: Default template is plain again, "System Default" template removed.
