The focus of this release has been to improve the core foundation and file format support, but I'm planning to expand with more features further down the road in order to improve the usefulness of MAZANOKE (while still keeping the UX simple). Feel free and share your feature requests here.

Since the last update, it's been incredible to see the growth of the user base, with over 54,000 docker pulls for the previous release alone. I'd like to thank everyone who helped spread the word, whether through starring, word of mouth, community engagement, blog posts, or by packaging it for things like Unraid and NixOS, and everything in between!

I also feel incredibly honored that MAZANOKE was recently featured on Tailscale, LINUX Unplugged (Ep. 615), and Self-Host Weekly (May 2), please check them out!

[!NOTE] For docker deployments, after updating, you should see a notice with a "Refresh" button. However, the "Refresh" button might not be reliable at the moment, you can instead use ctrl/cmd + shift + r to clear old cache. If you're on mobile, you need to clear the cache from the browser settings. I will look into a more reliable way for cache busting in a future release.
