This release contains improvements in the search results where the metadata such as the page title and description are still searched, but no longer displayed as context. Also a bug that caused an exception when using an insert tag that pointed to a page that no longer exists was fixed. Improvements have also been made to the revised undo function and other PHP 8 related bugs have been fixed. As always, this release also includes all the bug fixes from the latest 4.9 release.
