This release fixes a potential pagination bug in the back end that could cause the same record to be listed on multiple pages. In addition, the automatic HTTP cache invalidation has been improved so that changes to the page structure should now also cause affected page cache entries to be deleted more reliably. Moreover, several improvements have been made to the automatic detection of database features so that Contao can be used even better with different database settings. Those who use "folder URLs" can enjoy the fact that subpages of a page with the index alias now no longer automatically also get index in their alias. In addition, other bugs related to PHP 8 have been fixed and preparations have been made for compatibility with PHP version 8.2, which will be released at the end of November.
