- A major overhaul to the Semantic Tagging system, including improved validation rules, drag & drop support and management of custom tags on the Main UI, and improved support by add-ons.
- 20 new add-ons (such as Matter, Ring, IKEA DIRIGERA, OpenAI TTS Voice, LG ThingQ, and more).
- Improvements to the Log Viewer.
