New article to a category

Hello.
We are using Phoca Documentation on our intra pages and we really appreciate the way it looks, but I'm missing one feature.
When adding a article within a category I can only show how many articles within that category.

Is there possible to show the user on the main page that there has been added a new article in a spesific category?

Eg:
Section name
category 1
category 2 - 1 NEW!
category 3
categroy 4 - 3 NEW!
category 5

Hi, what you exactly mean with the "show the user" ?

Hi.
What I mean, is as it is now, the comp only shows that there are x number of articles inside that spesific category.

It would help us a lot if there were a feature that said how many new articles that are created within a spesific category or that all unread articles will be shown.

Eg: If we can, in backend, say that all new articles within this section/category will be shown with a NEW text for 14 days or so.

Section (4/15)
Category 1(6) 2 NEW
Category 2(3)
Category 3(2)
Category 4(4) 1 NEW

This will give the reader an information that there are something new to read within that spesific category.
When showing how many articles there are within one spesific category, it doesn't tell the reader, after 3rd time on the page that there are some new articles inside a category. The reader will, at most times, not recall how many articles there are within each category.

This will also increase the level of communication to all readers.

Hope this answer clear things up. Tried to attach a picture, but weren't allowed :(

:idea: then this needs to be customized in the code, so you will find which code displays it in backend and this code will be added into the frontend on Phoca Documentation :(

Some of the necessary modifications would entail either adding an additional query on the database or adjusting the current query to return the number of recently added articles.
