• Downgraded logback to 1.3.14 to fix a compatibility issue with SLF4J 1.7
• Updated Node.js from 20 to 24
• Migrated release publishing from the legacy OSSRH (sunset June 2025) to the new Central Publisher Portal
• Fixed handling of stale portlet URLs that could cause errors
• Various other dependency updates (AspectJ, Groovy, Lombok, Jsoup, Commons IO, and more)
