 ### Equipment improvements
 - The equipment page now will never automatically reload, even when `Auto reload on external changes` is on and a change was detected (because you most probably have that page open longer to read the manual) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
+- There is now a button to download the instruction manual (next to the "expand to fullscreen"-button)
 
 ### Calendar improvements/fixes
 - Events are now links to the corresponding page (thanks @zsarnett)
