   You don't need to change anything in your existing installation as the old configuration is used as a default.
 
+- {{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The [`children` shortcode](shortcodes/children) was changed to output a page's _LinkTitle_ instead of previously using the _Title_.
+
+  As the shortcode always outputs subpages in context of the parent page, it functions similar to the sidebar menu. The sidebar menu itself uses the _LinkTitle_ for naming the menu entries and so should the shortcode do.
+
+  The parameter value `sort=linktitle` was deprecated for the easier `sort=title`. You can still use the old value but both behave the same way in sorting by _LinkTitle_.
+
 ### New
 
 - {{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Menus created by your page structure are now able to [contain arbitrary links](configuration/sidebar/menus#displaying-arbitrary-links-in-a-page-menu) inserted into the structure using the `menuUrl` or `menuPageRef` front matter.
