2025.2.0

2025.2.0 (2025-02-28)​

For the February 2025 release the main focus was getting the frontend architecture in a better state. We moved to Tailwind v4, cleaned up our GraphQL fragments, unified our previously scattered React Hook Form implementations, and brought consistency to our component structure. Deployments are now also more robust by syncing static files to cloud storage before running the new version, removing javascript errors mid-deploy for end-users.
