Bug Fixes

Users-Permissions Plugin Fixes

• Improved Checkbox Behavior: Fixed issues with the checkbox behavior in the users-permissions plugin. The click action was moved to the wrapper (parent) element to allow clicks on the whole area of the checkbox. Highlighting and visibility on hover of the configuration wheel were also updated for better usability. This makes it clearer that clicking on the item or wheel opens the configuration, while clicking on the text or checkbox toggles the checkbox state.

• Fixed Reset Password Permission: Resolved an issue with the initialization of reset password permissions, ensuring that password reset functionality works correctly out of the box.

Admin Panel Fixes

• Newsletter Registration Data: Optimized the data collection for newsletter registration by only picking required fields, enhancing privacy and reducing unnecessary data transmission.

Framework Fixes

• Node.js Version Compatibility: Fixed the engine information in package.json to ensure proper Node.js version compatibility.
