- Added UI enhancements like Base URL tooltip and trailing‑slash handling, introduced MongoDB Operator support in Helm, and shipped Ask AI CE stubs with shared file wiring.
- Patched numerous security issues by upgrading dependencies (MongoDB 7.x, PostgreSQL JDBC, ArangoDB driver, Axios, protobufjs) and fixing vulnerabilities such as path traversal, unauthenticated OpenAPI access, XSS, and data leakage.
- Provided a mandatory upgrade path requiring an intermediate jump to v1.99 before moving to v2.0+, with updated docs and validation checks.
