As always, this release contains the bug fixes from the latest version 5.3.33 and improvements to the features that are exclusively part of the 5.5 branch. These include further improvements to the Turbo integration, but also the search results of the back end search and, above all, an adapted caching in the template studio which, according to GitHub tickets, leads to more compatibility with certain hosting providers. If you notice that the icons in the entire back end have slightly different colors, this is due to the constant focus on accessibility, so that the contrast ratio between foreground and background colors is now at least 3:1 almost without exception.
