-== RSS Support ==
-The browser module supports RSS 2.0 syndication of changes to a single file. To subscribe to an RSS version of the revision log for a file, open a file log in the browser, and click the orange 'XML' icon at the bottom of the page. See TracRss for more information on RSS support in Trac.
+''(since 0.11)'':
+
+At the top of the browser page, there's a drop-down menu which you can use 
+to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags. 
+This is sometimes referred to as the ''browser quickjump'' facility.
+The precise meaning and content of this menu depends on your backend.
+For Subversion, this list contains by default a few branches (`trunk` and any sub-folder of the latest `branches` top-level folder) and a few tags (any sub-folder of the latest `tags` top-level folder). This can be [TracIni#svn-section configured] for more advanced cases.
+
+If you're using a Javascript enabled brower, you'll be able to expand and collapse folders in-place by clicking on the arrow head at the right side of a folder. Alternatively, the keyboard can also be used for this: use 'j' and 'k' to go to the next or previous entry, and 'o' (or 'Enter') to toggle between expanded and collapsed state of the selected folder or for visiting the selected file.
+
+For the Subversion backend, some additional features are available:
+ - support for `svn:needs-lock` property
+ - support for `svn:externals` property (which can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured])
