Improved ahead-of-time compilation support, preventing runtime errors when Spring Batch applications are deployed as native executables.

Added clear error messages when batch jobs are misconfigured, helping developers catch problems during development rather than discovering them in production.

Updated CI workflows to run on Java 21, keeping the project aligned with the latest LTS JDK.

Improved documentation by adding a link to the corresponding JUnit issue, giving users more context on a subtle assertion behavior.

Added official support for Django 3.1, extending the compatibility matrix for projects upgrading to newer Django versions.

Fixed a build compatibility issue that was preventing the library from building on newer versions of Gradle, unblocking users who had upgraded their build tools.

Improved release reliability by adding timeout warnings and configuration validation, preventing silent deployment failures that could leave users without critical updates.

Fixed configuration handling so teams can selectively build specific release packages, speeding up builds for projects that target multiple platforms.

Fixed app store metadata to exclude beta versions, ensuring users only see stable releases when browsing for software.

Fixed a 2.5-year-old bug where local development commands were incorrectly routed through corporate proxies, causing timeouts and failures for developers behind firewalls.

Set up automated release pipelines so new versions are automatically published to Maven Central, ensuring users get updates faster and more reliably.

Set up automated release pipelines so new versions are automatically published to Maven Central, ensuring users get updates faster and more reliably.

Aligned project metadata with reality by updating the README and artifact version to 1.1 so documentation and published artifacts stay in sync.

Fixed a long-standing bug where user selections in dropdown menus would be lost after saving and reopening a form, ensuring data entered by users is preserved correctly.

Added the ability to dynamically change form field styling, enabling visual feedback like highlighting invalid fields in red to guide users.

Made the library more extensible so other developers can customize form fields and add support for additional languages in their applications.

Fixed a crash that prevented the application from starting on Java 9 and later, restoring compatibility for developers who had upgraded their Java version.

Implemented a long-requested feature (open for over 4 years) to add standard proxy headers, enabling backend services to correctly identify original client IP addresses for security logging and rate limiting.

Improved Gradle's GitHub Actions documentation with clearer guidance and examples for setting up CI pipelines.
