Theme / Focus
This release have had a growth & technical theme with a focus on environment stability, performance and security. Most of the work is not visible to end users but an increased performance could be noticed.
Web extension v3
With the new version comes several technical benefits: A reduced network footprint, increased performance and the removal of web sockets. Web extension background scripts is replaced by service workers and better prepared for other deployment methods. The client works better with offline data making it less dependent on network and users could continue work when the service is unavailable for maintenance etc.
Security
With the registry distribution making it possible to include an access token for increased security of guide data.
