Firefox 157 drops today, bringing back Compact Mode, this time with its own dedicated setting. During early testing many of you shared that you didn’t want to lose density in the new design. That feedback directly impacted this release. 1/3

We released Quarkus 3.2.3, with some additional bugfixes. It also upgrades Hibernate Search to 6.2 for official compatibility with Elasticsearch 8. Once again, we highly recommend the upgrade to Quarkus 3 (quarkus update to the rescue!). buff.ly/3YnA1pc
