Re: [Exist-development] eXist-db old admin webapp

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've just made some small improvements to the Indexes app - primarily
to improve the loading speed of the landing page.  (Thanks to Dannes'
comment for prompting this.)  As small as this change is, this is the
first real divergence from the "old" admin web page version of the
app, and paves the way for some future fixes and improvements.
