-- **PHP Version Requirement Change** - The minimum supported PHP version has changed from PHP 8.0.2 to PHP 8.1 in this release. Please see our ["Updating PHP & Composer" documentation page](/docs/admin/updating-php/#updating-php) for guidance on updating PHP where needed.

 - **Sorting** - Basic sort order changes for chapters and pages will no longer affect the "updated" time for these items. Wider changes during sorting (moving to a new parent) will still increment the "updated" time.
 - **Theme System** - A `public/` folder within an active theme folder will now be exposed for public access. If for some reason you already have such a folder that you don't want exposed, rename it before upgrading.
