• Milestone

In this release, besides adding some initial support for OpenID Connect, the focus has been on increasing the quality rather than adding new features (which will have more focus again in the next release).
This version 1.22.x is also the last to support PHP 7.2 before requiring PHP 7.4+.

A few highlights ✨:

• Add support for OpenID Connect (only in our Debian-based Docker image for x86_64, not Alpine, and not ARM) through libapache2-mod-auth-openidc. See our documentation
• 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!
