Hey everyone! 👋
Any contribution, big or small makes me incredibly grateful and happy. Currently going thru some bumps in life, so this release, with that many contributions, makes me breath easier and helps me focus on some necessary things outside of FOSS.
This release comes with lots of backend improvements and LOTS of contributions from the amazing @ingoratsdorf , @adamoutler, @PreistlyPython, @cvc90, @SantosSi , @ningmeng68 , @martinkuck , @FlyingToto , and @Virenbar 💙
To highlight biggest ones, @ingoratsdorf helped improve performance of the backend significantly - in some cases by over 50% in certain cases. This will be mostly felt on slower servers. He targeted disk writes, read access, and helped remove unnecessary setting changes checks.
Then @adamoutler swooped in to significantly improve the developer experience with a devcontainer setup and he is hardening the image, and fixing bugs all over the place.
On top of that more bare metal installation options are being worked on, the setup process is being streamlined, and security being hardened.
Hope everyone appreciates this release as much as I do.
