Repository Stack 2 is now a real stack. This will allow you to place additional content on the same page as Repository Stack 2, like login information, branding, footer, etc.

Repository Stack 1 came with it's own theme based on Bootstrap 3, overwriting the theme which was used for the project. Repository Stack 2 depends on a page specific theme setting using Blankstrap 5 theme (or Foundry v3). The overall project theme is possible to remain the original selected theme like a standard theme, or any other framework like Foundation. For more information and free download of Blankstrap 5 theme check out https://instacks.github.io/blankstrap/.

Repository Stack 1 came with two basic authentication users. Repository Stack 2 comes with one basic authentication user.

No more seperate Repository Stack installations are needed for different client permissions. For more information of UserAccess Stack check out https://instacks.com/useraccessstack/.
