Note: this is a prerelease, please back up NPMplus and test it if you can, please report back if something does not work (to see how many people test it, please give at least a reaction if you test and it works)

The following still needs to happen before new latest release:

• merge upstream
• update security.txt
• compose.yaml remove comments
• create new release (and remember people to switch back to latest now)

What's Changed

• all your hosts will now regenerate once and when you update an env which influences a template
• use liquidjs itself instead of sed to modify persistent hosts and templates based on envs
• slim start.sh because many migrations are now done by simply recreating all hosts
• remove migrations from very old NPMplus versions (migration from upstream NPM still possible)
• allow changing http/https ports
• merge tls-ciphers-no-stapling.conf tls-ciphers.conf into one file
• disable ACME_MUST_STAPLE by default
• new ACME_OCSP_STAPLING env controlling if stapling should happen, currently on, will be disabled end april
• env DB_SQLITE_FILE is now unsupported
• NPM_DISABLE_IPV6 and GOA_DISABLE_IPV6 are now removed and included in DISABLE_IPV6
• http3 should now be way faster (http3_stream_buffer_size was too small)
• update all stapling files before starting all services
• default host is not mounted anymore and recreated on each container start
• nginxbeautifier now only runs on hosts generation
• fix unresponsive start page (upstream issue, fixed by reverting upstream commit)
• dep updates
• support php84
• update readme
• improve folder structure
• frontend now only allows enabling coreruleset if modsec is also enabled
• quic_bpf support (default off, since it needs NPMplus to run as a privileged container)
• NIBEP and GOAIWSP have switched their default values
• streams forwarding_port now allows $server_port as a valid input
• allowed syntax for domain names and stream/proxy forward_host have changed
• added support for INITIAL_DEFAULT_PAGE
• remove kyber (mlkem is supported)
• use freenginx default tls setting when connecting to upstream server
• rename nginx_custom folder to custom_nginx
• unify proxy.conf and proxy-location.conf to proxy.conf
• new dummy certs now use secp384r1 instead of rsa4096
• integrate no-servername files in the normal configs
• allow disabling hsts subdomains via env
• support upstream X_FRAME_OPTIONS env, also change its default from SAMEORIGIN to DENY, add option to not set it
• remove Referrer-Police header (default value when unset is the same as NPMplus used before: strict-origin-when-cross-origin)
• don't expose version when making a (authenticated/unauthenticated) request to NPMplus API
• add ACME_KEY_TYPE env (default and recommended is still ecdsa)
• use #!/usr/bin/env sh instead of #!/bin/sh
• dns secrets are not mounted anymore, since they are saved in the db and rewritten on every container start, so they don't need to be mounted
• certbot is now built together with nginx

How to test
