- {{< feature-label name="api" >}} Removed support for authenticating to the API using username and password, as this can cause security issues, and this usage has been strongly discouraged by OAuth security recommendations for several years. This is a change that will affect API libraries that implemented username and password authentication, so check for compatibility if you're using one of these - you'll want to find a library that supports OAuth tokens, and generate one for your app. {{< github-pr id=30960 authors="thisismissem" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="new feature" >}} Added back a 6 hour mute option, in addition to the existing 1, 7 and 30 days. {{< github-pr id=32522 authors="renchap" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="new feature" >}} Group follow notifications. This can be disabled in the notification settings. {{< github-pr id=32520 authors="renchap" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="new feature" >}} Added a way for push notification endpoints to cancel a push subscription. This is especially useful if your push notification server handles things asynchronously and you know that a subscription token has been permanently invalidated. For example, we are [updating our own mobile notification server](https://github.com/mastodon/webpush-apn-relay/pull/8) to benefit from this feature. {{< github-pr id=32626 authors="oneiros" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="interface" >}} The look of Filters and Content Warnings have been adjusted based on community feedback. {{< github-pr id=32543 authors="ClearlyClaire" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="interface" >}} Text formatting in posts should look better (and is aligned with our latest design on Android). Right now it is not possible to post formatted text on Mastodon directly, but supporting this is on the roadmap. {{< github-pr id=32633 authors="gargron" >}}

- {{< feature-label name="interface" >}} Like and boost counts for remote posts should now be more accurate, as they are fetched when a status is refreshed. This is not real-time, and is only a first step toward better support for remote-content synchronisation. Thanks to [@sneakers-the-rat](https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat) for this contribution, and other PRs that we are currently reviewing. {{< github-pr id=32620 authors="sneakers-the-rat" >}}
