This release fixes some long-standing bugs, which could only finally be addressed thanks to the developers meeting. Among them is the missing possibility to continue a contao:crawl command line command, which is now available. Also at the developers meeting a solution for the incompatibility of the page cache with the form captcha form field was found, which is also included in this release. In addition, Ajax operations (such as the publishing eye icon) now return to the login page if the session has expired, and the "back to last visited page" function in the login module, which has been broken for some time, has been restored.
