* **HierarchicalNavigation** uses new Meta Data variables to link hierarchically.
* **SuperAdministrator Group** allows you to give one user group - by default, TWikiAdminGroup - superpowers: the ability to overwrite locked topics from the browser interface. (This gets around a potential problem where mistyping topic access definition could result in locking everyone out.)
