The 2.0b39 “Clean Sweep” update makes a few interface changes and fixes several bugs:

• The "Remove theme" button (broken in versions 2.0b37 and b38) now works properly.

• The default sort order is now "most recent" in the page edit screen's library tab for images, documents, audio/video and people.

• Fixed a bug that caused any image assigned as both a link image and a gallery image to appear first in the gallery, no matter what its priority. Such images are now properly sorted by priority.

• The "link URL" field is now ignored for gallery images so that the enlarged image is properly displayed.

• Fixed a bug under Internet Explorer 6 that prevented the priority slider from sliding properly for library items from sliding properly on page edit screens.

• Fixed a bug under Safari and Firefox that occasionally prevented some controls from initializing properly on library forms in the page edit screen.
