 Web Interface Miscellanea
 =========================
 
-XXX
+The web interface has seen some changes:
+
+XXX this section needs more detail
+
+Templating
+  We implement __nonzero__ for HTMLProperty - properties may now be used in
+  boolean conditions (eg ``tal:condition="issue/nosy"`` will be false if
+  the nosy list is empty).
+
+  We added a default argument to the DateHTMLProperty.field method, and an
+  optional Interval (string or object) to the DateHTMLProperty.now
+
+  We've added a multiple selection Link/Multilink search field macro to the
+  default classic page.html template.
+
+  We relaxed hyperlinking in web interface (accept "issue123" or "Issue 123")
+
+  The listing popup may be used in query forms.
+
+
+Standard templates
+  We hide "(list)" popup links when issue is only viewable
+
+Web server
+  The builtin web server may now perform HTTP Basic Authentication by
+  itself.
