This release fixes numerous bugs, some of which are related to PHP 8.0. If you are using PHP 8.0, be sure to install this update. In other news, the favicon integration and the wrong URLs in the RSS feeds have been fixed. The {{date::*}} insert tag now correctly uses the date format configured in the root page settings.
Contao now no longer only shows "unknown option" but also the corresponding value for it.
Since Chrome - as the last of the major browser vendors - now supports the "width" and "height" attributes on the "<source>" element too, this has been adopted for the default templates.
Relevant for developers: CSS classes and IDs are now applied to the alias content element when using the new fragments too.
Furthermore, Contao can now also be used in Swedish.
