New showcase
You can check them all out in the showcase! Note that the showcase web application itself has also retrieved some minor layout improvements, such as a navigation menu hidden behind the header. On for example the <o:cache> page, you can click the "components" header to navigate to other groups and you can click the "cache" header to navigate to other pages in the same group.
