Nice release. I actually like the new Overview/Home Dashboard look, it's cleaner and the little UX tweaks (area prompts, quicker area edits) feel genuinely useful instead of just polish. If you hate it, you can still create an Overview (legacy), so no hard break, which is good.

Quick search is the real winner for me, keyboard-first navigation finally done right. Hit Ctrl/Cmd+K and everything is there, fast. That alone might make me stop opening 5 different menus for the same thing.

Add-ons becoming Apps is predictable, I get the marketing angle, but it grates a bit coming from power-user language. Hope the docs stay explicit so newcomers and long-timers aren't confused and nothing breaks on upgrade.

Device database sounds useful, I'll opt in to help, but yes, be cautious. Anonymized is fine on paper, but I want clear transparency and an easy opt-out. Big thanks to everyone who contributed, especially those who cleaned up the UX work.
