- Improved initial UI page load times.
- Improved feedback on the login and onboarding pages when a field is filled out incorrectly.
- TrueNAS integration now supports the new WebSocket-based APIs. Existing integrations will continue to use the deprecated REST APIs, but can be migrated by editing the integration and disabling the legacy switch.
- Fixed an issue where the Stats page would break if statistics were newly enabled and no data was available yet.
- Improved Docker image configuration, which now reports which paths should be made persistent using a volume.

- Minor fixes and improvements for the Docker Swarm integration
- Native Docker integration now supports Swarm clusters. When Swarm mode is enabled in the integration settings, Ignition will look for deployed services and their host/ingress port bindings instead of the underlying containers (thanks @Kegelcizer for the suggestion!).
- Also in the Docker integration, Ignition now offers the option to use the container name as the identifier instead of the container ID. For containers managed by third-party tools or those that are constantly recreated, this option prevents the integration from failing to locate the container after a recreation.
- Improved application stability and consistency.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
- Docker integration now shows and allows the selection of ports exposed in the container (previously limited to ports exposed on the host; thanks @Kegelcizer for the suggestion!)

rootornginxas the nginx runtime user was removed. Now, the settings page allows to inform any user as the runtime user. - Fix for the
nginx-ignition.propertiesfile where a wrong key was used for the nginx binary path (thanks @maslke for catching and sharing the problem!)
- The settings page was updated to include new, advanced configuration properties (such as customizable buffer sizes and the ability to input custom nginx configuration directives), enabling fine-tuning for specific use cases.
- Minor improvements and bug fixes.
- nginx ignition now includes health check endpoints to enable automated monitoring of application status. Refer to this documentation page for details on how to configure or disable them.
- Added a new docker-compose.yml file with a suggested deployment configuration for nginx ignition alongside a PostgreSQL database with health checks enabled.

- Other minor fixes and improvements
- Improved support for streams. Now nginx ignition is able to configure domain-based routing using the SNI (Server Name Indication) from the TLS protocol, forwarding a request to a custom set of backing servers using the requested domain name as the qualifier. Support for weights and circuit breakers is also now available.
- Other minor improvements and bugfixes
- Minor fixes and improvements for the new backup and export features (released on the 2.13.0 version)
