In this update, we introduced a slightly different changelog than usual because it contains emojis, which are far better than NFT! :smiling_imp::smiling_imp: It contains four categories, so it should be more clear:
a) which breaking changes were introduced
b) which features are new
c) what was fixed
d) what was updated

Guys, what are you saying about a new changelog?

  • I like it
  • No, I don’t like it

We are curious if we should keep our old changelog or use this new style for upcoming Turris OS releases.

Random comment, the emoji for the bug category shows what appears to be a caterpillar.
This is problematic for two reasons:
a) caterpillars are juvenile stages of butterflies/moths.
b) true bug nymphs do not look like caterpillars and more like incomplete but recognisable versions of the adult bugs.

However, the first actual bug documented was a moth.

Well, that unicode character is called “BUG”…
