Joomla! 5.1 CSS changes. Joomla! 5.1 introduced dark mode CSS changes which created low contrast text situations. This is now addressed.
Use SHA-512 instead of SHA-256 when “Compact Update Streams” is enabled. SHA-512 is a stronger hashing algorithm, and a pre-requisite for eventually upgrading to TUF for updates.
Include the package length in update metadata. This is a non-standard field that Joomla! itself ignores. However, it is a pre-requisite for eventually upgrading to TUF for updates.
Vastly improved performance in the Logs page. The Logs page was using combined JOINs which are dead slow on MySQL. It now uses WHERE EXISTS clauses (requiring MySQL 5.7 or later) which vastly improve the performance.
Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.
