- Fixed an issue that caused the Photoshop extenson to break when searching for characters.
- Fixed an issue preventing user bios from being edited.
- Various crash fixes, thanks to people who reported the bugs with the included bug ID.
- Fixed a timeline crash if one of your friends linked a Lodestone character.
- Added some FFXIV Lodestone data to V2 profiles using the Lodestone as a datasource.
- Sticky posts in forms are now less obtrusive, and impact load times less.
- Started analyzing database queries to identify slow Things(tm).
- Moved user avatars to new, "processing-free" image storage.
- Moving old JavaScript to new bundle, which is honestly a huge refactor but it had to be done.
- Some cases of the attributes panel fail to render, but I don't have enough data to reproduce.
Low Priority:
- V2 gallery module doesn't show anything when there is nothing to show.
- V1 Character pages don't have loading shadow anymore
- User profiles don't render loading spinner anymore
- Fixed a bug where conversations couldn't open when you clicked them.
- Fixed some pages causing an "Aw, Snap!" error in Chrome. Hopefully.
- Fixed the Discord link in the page footer.

- V1 character galleries now use the V2 image gallery component. For now, the top-3 feature is removed, but the images will now auto-update when processing is done.

- Ordering images in your gallery is now 0.2% less frustrating.
