The first release of the 5.5 series fixes a number of bugs reported by the community. In addition, a few parameters of the back end search have been adjusted so that, among other things, fewer server requests are sent while you are typing. It has also received a small visual improvement so that it is not quite so conspicuous and hinders you when using Contao in other ways.
Changelog of the fixed issues in Contao 5.5.1:
- #8122 Handle the case when there is no theme selector in the Template Studio (m-vo)
- #8118 Allow passing children as `string` within the clipboard manager (zoglo)
- #8120 Make the search bar less intrusive (leofeyer)
- #8113 Increase the search delay to 300ms (leofeyer)

- #8108 Add an `abortController` to the back end search (zoglo)
