 New features:
+- make thumbsize in folder contents listing adjustable/supressable 
+  (uses site control panel settings: thumb_size_tables ...)
+  https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/issues/1734 [fgrcon]
 
 - Folder contents rename dialog: In the rename dialog, show image thumbnails in ``thumb`` scale instead of ``icon``.
