• Rework trusted proxies
• Improve scaling with many feeds and long processes, reduce database locks
• Fix many bugs and regressions
• Improve themes Origine (also with automatic dark mode), Nord, etc.
• Several UI / UX improvements
• New languages Hungarian, Latvian, Persian
• Docker default image updated to Debian 12 Bookworm with PHP 8.2
• Increase our code base from PHPStan level 5 to level 7
• And more!
