  • 'Sync timetable' check box default state changed (when adding a timetable) — Timetables will now only be synced if the user has no personal subscriptions and if the box was enabled the last time. This means that the box will be disabled by default, if the user already has a personal timetable.

Non-functional, technical and back-end changes
