| <td class="content"> |
| When installing a software into the workbench and the software is signed but with an untrusted certificate, |
| the dialog to review trusted certificates now shows a button to <b>📥 Export...</b> the selected certificate |
| into their own <code>*.der</code> file. This can facilitate review of the certificate, for example in order to |
| get it audited by some other external service, tool or workflow before approval. |

| <td class="content"> |
| The <b>Quick Search</b> dialog features a label to depict the number of matches that were found. |
| Additionally, if the result set exceeds a now configurable limit, the label shows that the limit has been reached and the search process stops. |
| Besides this new "Max Results" configuration option, the preference page has been overhauled with information decorators to describe the properties in more detail. |

| The Local history for derived files is now <b>disabled</b> by default. |
| The behaviour can now be configured to the previous (enabled) behaviour in <b>Preferences > General > Workspace > Local History</b> page, |
| by checking the <b>History for derived files</b> checkbox. |
| <p> |
| Derived files are for example automatically created as the output of java annotation processing or XText. |
| As they are automatically created one could also recreate old versions of the output by compiling older versions of the input, |
| thereby wasting time and space to store the history of the derived files for most users. |
