This is a big one, with numerous improvements!!

- We've got a new logo, made by @sneexy@booping.synth.download!
- A new following view, inspired by Cohost's following feed.
- Links to external sites now show a confirmation prompt (that can be disabled if the user chooses)
- Cat-speak can be disabled for other users notes.
- Avatar decorations can now be placed behind the avatar, courtesy of @CenTdemeern1@eepy.moe.
- Remote polls can now be refreshed by logged-in users.
- User profiles show the latest notes by default, with a tab for pinned notes.
- Users can now see their pending follow requests.
- Note attachments can now be properly navigated via keyboard.
- Users can now choose to mark their uploaded files as NSFW automatically (on their own, without the instance admin forcing all of their uploaded files to be marked as NSFW).
- Rejecting a new user's signup request frees up the username they used for use by other users.
- Admins can now have more control over the maximum sizes for notes; body, cw, and alt text can have their limits set individually. Separate limits can be set for remote instances, too!
- Moderators can now delete all files from a remote instance, courtesy of @privateger@plasmatrap.com.
- Local system accounts can no longer be deleted.
- Information about remote instances now includes following relationships, and actions that break federation will show how many relationships will be severed by those actions, also courtesy of privateger.
- When an instance is blocked or silenced because it's on a subdomain of a blocked/silenced domain, admins are given a clear message about why, and the buttons to un-block/un-silence are disabled instead of being useless.
- Reports from specific instances can now be automatically rejected.
- Abuse reports are now rendered better on small form-factors.
- Abuse reports now federate correctly with Akkoma & Pleroma.
- Welcome page & sidebar can have their own image instead of sharing the instance icon, so an instance can have a big fancy logo, without having to fork Sharkey, courtesy of @piuvas@capivarinha.club.
- If an instances donation link is set to Open Collective, supporters will be shown on the instances about page.

Noteworthy upstream changes:
- There is now a dedicated view for embedding notes & timelines on other websites via iframes.
- Allow-list federation is now supported.
- Users can now set a message to be sent to new followers when their follow requests have been accepted.
- The list of blocked & silenced instances is now inside the "moderation" section of the admin control panel.

Possible Suprises:
- The client setting "other -> experimental features -> enable condensed line for acct" finally does something- it compresses usernames horizontally instead of truncating them. Previously this setting did nothing for several releases, so some users may have enabled it and forgot about it.
