The upgrade should be straightforward with minimal risk as this is primarily a bug fix release with no breaking changes.
Fixed an issue where uploading certain JPEG images would fail with a VipsJpegError: Invalid SOS parameters for sequential JPEG error. This resolves problems users were experiencing when uploading specific types of JPEG images.
Added support for .jsx file extensions in the admin panel, fixing issue #13124. This allows developers to use JSX syntax in files with the .jsx extension.
Corrected the ADMIN_JWT_SECRET generation process which was incorrectly including a space character. This improves security configuration and prevents potential authentication issues.
Updated broken roadmap links in the project's README file to ensure users can access the correct roadmap information.
No significant new features were introduced in this release. This is primarily a bug fix and maintenance release.
While not explicitly labeled as a security fix, the correction of the ADMIN_JWT_SECRET generation process (removing unwanted spaces) improves the security configuration of Strapi instances by ensuring properly formatted JWT secrets.
No specific performance improvements were highlighted in this release.
