excellent! Great job with the release Dave.

a few notes for users:

- Apache Roller supports JDK 17 now (11 is still supported)

- one db table got renamed, for automatic migration set 
installation.type=auto in your roller-custom.properties before first start

- logger config can't be put into roller-custom.properties anymore, its 
now in log4j2.xml
-- default config is here: 
https://github.com/apache/roller/blob/master/app/src/main/resources/log4j2.xml
-- instructions how to change it are in the comments
-- current used log4j2 version is 2.17

- if you are using the db for user authentication
-- default algorithm is now passwds.encryption.algorithm=bcrypt
-- configurable via roller-custom.properties (see roller.properties for 
defaults)
-- automatic migration happens on next pw change (please change it)

- some hardening and bug fixing happened in this release
-- including migration away from EOL libraries

- new editor plugin ("Pre Tag Encoder" checkbox) automatically encodes 
everything between pre tags if enabled
-- no need to escape angle brackets anymore if you post source code

thats all i remember for now :)

best regards,
michael
