 ### Added
 
-* Editing - Better user experience with 1-n relations: the data tables of the related child layers
+* Refactoring of the legend:
+  * Add checkbox in the legend to enable/disable some symbols within the layer
+  * Add symbols of the legend item by default for all layers and rendering rules
+  * Group `project-background-color` to display the default background color
+  * Use any base layer as a background, the usage of legacy keywords `osm-mapnik` etc. is now deprecated
+  * These new background layers must be in a group called `baselayers`.
+* Improve the "QGIS theme"
+* Editing capabilities: Better user experience with 1-n relations: the data tables of the related child layers
   now respect the position configured in the QGIS editing drag&drop designer.
 * Popup/Editing - Add a combobox in the popup to allow creating a new child feature for the related
   layers. This will allow creating child features directly from the parent popup.

   * New support for `project` and `layer` scopes: the actions can now be used outside the popup, for a specific chosen layer or as a generic project action.
     - A **new web component** `<lizmap-action-selector>` is used to let the user choose an action and run it (for the layer and project scopes)
     - A **new dock** is available and shows the list of the **project actions**, with buttons to run an action and another to reset the results.
