+<h2>Debug Mode Enabled by Default</h2>
+
+<p>The debug mode is now enabled by default, to allow debugging layout and other problems
+more easily. The debug mode:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Displays debug data to the server console/log.</li>
+
+  <li>Allows showing the client-side logging window, which you can enable by adding the
+  request parameter "<tt>?debug=true</tt>" to the application URI.</li>
+
+  <li>Adds an "Analyze layouting" -button to the debug window: when pressed, it will show
+  red markers in potentially problematic layouts and show layout hint texts in the
+  browser-window and in <tt>System.out</tt>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You should disable the debug mode when releasing your application for production
+use. You can do this by including the following setting in your <tt>web.xml</tt>.</p>
+
+<pre class="wiki">  &lt;context-param&gt;
