- **Add subresource integrity for JS and CSS assets** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15096))
- If you use a CDN for static assets (JavaScript, CSS, and so on), you have to trust that the CDN does not modify the assets maliciously
- Subresource integrity compares server-generated asset digests with what's actually served from the CDN and prevents such attacks
- Add `ku`, `sa`, `sc`, `zgh` to available locales ([ykzts](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15138))

- **Add ability to block access or limit sign-ups from chosen IPs** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14963))
- Add rules for IPs or CIDR ranges that automatically expire after a configurable amount of time
- Choose the severity of the rule, either blocking all access or merely limiting sign-ups
- **Add support for reversible suspensions through ActivityPub** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14989))
- Servers can signal that one of their accounts has been suspended
- During suspension, the account can only delete its own content
- A reversal of the suspension can be signalled the same way
- A local suspension always overrides a remote one
- Add outbox attribute to instance actor ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14721))

- **Add support for managing multiple stream subscriptions in a single connection** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14524), [Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14566), [mfmfuyu](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14859), [zunda](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14608))
- Previously, getting live updates for multiple timelines required opening a HTTP or WebSocket connection for each
- More connections means more resource consumption on both ends, not to mention the (ever so slight) delay when establishing a new connection
- Now, with just a single WebSocket connection you can subscribe and unsubscribe to and from multiple streams
- Add support for limiting results by both `min_id` and `max_id` at the same time in REST API ([tateisu](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14776))
- Add `GET /api/v1/accounts/:id/featured_tags` to REST API ([noellabo](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/11817))
- **Change media modals look in web UI** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15217), [Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15221))
- Background of the overlay matches the color of the image
- Action bar to interact with or open the toot from the modal
- Change order of announcements in admin UI to be newest-first ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15091))
- **Change account suspensions to be reversible by default** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14726), [ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15152), [ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15106), [ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15100), [ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15099), [noellabo](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14855))
- Suspensions no longer equal deletions
- A suspended account can be unsuspended with minimal consequences for 30 days
- Immediate deletion of data is still available as an explicit option
- Suspended accounts can request an archive of their data through the UI
- Change REST API to return empty data for suspended accounts (14765)
- Change web UI to show empty profile for suspended accounts ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14766))
- Change featured hashtag suggestions to be recently used instead of most used ([abcang](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14760))
- Change direct toots to appear in the home feed again ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14711), [ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15182), [noellabo](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14727))
- Return to treating all toots the same instead of trying to retrofit direct visibility into an instant messaging model
- Change content type of downloaded files to be always computed from file data instead of using headers as hints ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14452))
- Change email address validation to return more specific errors ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14565))
- Change limited federation mode to not serve even bare account actors to the public ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14800))
- Previously, accessing an account actor in limited federation mode without a signature would return a bare version that only contained the username and the public key necessary for verifying signatures
- This meant that even though no content would be accessible, other servers could store an empty account that would be visible by end-users
- Because HTTP signatures are performed by a specialized system actor now, it is no longer necessary to return even such a bare version of actors to the public
- Change HTTP signature requirements to include `Digest` header on `POST` requests ([ThibG](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15069))
- Change click area of video/audio player buttons to be bigger in web UI ([ariasuni](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15049))

- Change order of announcements to be reverse chronological in web UI ([dariusk](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15065), [dariusk](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15070))
- Change visibility icon next to timestamp to be clickable in web UI ([ariasuni](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15053), [mayaeh](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15055))

### Fixed
- **Fix deletes not reaching every server that interacted with toot** ([Gargron](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15200))
- Previously, delete of a toot would be primarily sent to the followers of its author, people mentioned in the toot, and people who reblogged the toot

- Some time ago, browsers added a requirement that desktop notification prompts could only be displayed in response to a user-generated event (such as a click)
