Easier key navigation in result lists
To support easier keyboard navigation in result lists, for example by using the down arrow to move from result to result, Appkit result titles now use HTML heading tags. Specifically,<search:field styling="title"> tags now use <h3> tags instead of <p>.
Bug Fixes

- Fusion sessions. Existing Fusion sessions are now correctly utilized when authorizing users against a service account.

If you previously usedrequestHandler: /as a workaround for this functionality, carry out the upgrade step described in Additional upgrade steps above. -
