 ### Removed (for now removed features)
 
+* `ext_revisions` module. This module was only a work-around which had been
+  used for versioning functionality before the native versioning was
+  implemented. Also, the `BUILD_MODULE_EXT_REVISIONS` is no longer used and can
+  be removed from the config files in `build.properties.d/`
+
 ### Fixed
 
+* #156 - Edit mode for Safari 11
+* #160 - Entity preview for Safari 11
 * Several minor cosmetic flaws
-- Fixed edit mode for Safari 11.
+* Fixed edit mode for Safari 11.

-/**
- * The ext_revisions module extends the edit_mode update functionality.
- *
- * The edit_mode.update_entity function is overridden by this module with a
- * proxy pattern. That means, that the original function is still called, but a
- * proxy (or wrapper) function adds further functionality.
- *
- * The extended update function creates a back-up version of the updated entity
- * and adds a revisionOf property to the updated entity which references
- * the back-up. The back-up entity loses all of its original parents and gets
- * an "Obsolete" as only parent instead.
- *
- * Per default, the module assumes two Entities to be present in the
- * database. A RecordType named "Obsolete" and a Property named
- * "revisionOf". The initialization is aborted if these entities cannot be
- * found and the module remains inactive.
