“4.5 updates so far

“I’m not going to make a detailed post, just a screen-shot based

“Cascading popups

“There was a lot of talk in the beginning about why Kickoff and
Lancelot are not like the classic menu – and don’t have
popups. Although I still don’t consider cascading popups to be

Open popups for subcategories

“This feature is not yet enabled for the Shelf applet (ex
Lancelot Parts) but it still may find its way into it for 4.5.”
