As you all know, Sitecore 8.2 Update 3 has been released recently. It makes my simple framework out of update now so I need to update it soon. Besides, I want to verify how easy the Sitecore upgrade is with my simple one. By the way, I add some interesting functions as well. As a result, the version 1.3 is released:

1. Upgrading Sitecore References via Nuget to Sitecore 8.2 Update 3 ones
   • 
2. Enabling “pre-populate item version” function
   • the purpose: if the very first item version is created, all fields from a source language will be copied into it. This one is helpful for creating content, especially when your site has multiple supported languages
   • how to use it: edit your site definition
     • specify the source language via language property (Note: it’s default language as well)
     • set enablePrePopulateItemVersion property to true
     • 
     • log into Sitecore to verify it
     • 
3. Switching the missing item to 404Error item inside Sitecore, the reference
   • the purpose: provide a way to create a friendly 404 Error page
   • how to use it: edit your site definition
     • specify the 404 Error page via notFoundItem property
     • 
     • log into Sitecore to edit 404Error item

4. Integrating Language module of Habitat, the reference
