The Timeline link on the menubar is moved to the left so that it is now the second from the left. This seems a better place, to me. I also arranged for the File menubar option to only appear if the user has both "history" and "check-out" privileges. The Timeline menubar link appears if the user has any of "check-out", "read-wiki", or "read-ticket". Only those lines of the timeline that are appropriate for the user's capabilities are shown. So if you set up a user to have read-ticket capability, but not check-out, they will only see tickets in the timeline, and not check-ins. That's what you wanted, right? D.
