* The `master` branch has become mainline. What this means to users is `git pull` will always give you the latest and greatest. Make sure to read [Updating](/docs/admin/updating.md) and keep an eye on `WHATSNEW.md` (this file) and [UPGRADE](UPGRADE.md)! See also [ticket #276](https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/issues/276).
* The default configuration has been moved to [config_default.js](/core/config_default.js).

For example, if the user selects "login", the first entry with a value of `{ matrixSubmit: 0 }` will match (due to 0 being the first index in the list and `matrixSubmit` being the arg name in question) causing `action` of `@menu:login` to be executed (go to `login` menu).
## Prompts
TODO: describe the "prompts" section, default setup, etc.
Prompts are found in the `prompts` section of menu files. Prompts allow for quick user input and shorthand form requirements for menus. Additionally, prompts are often used for for multiple menus. Consider a pause prompt or menu command input for example.
