Improvements and Bug Fixes:​

- Session Recovery and Saving
- Improved session recovery when your sign-in session can be renewed.
- Eligible save, delete, and restore requests in the new CMS screens now retry automatically after successful session renewal.
- Please note:​ Starting a bulk operation still requires a manual retry if the initial attempt fails because the session needs renewal.

- Project Switching Across Tabs
- The project panel now stays aligned with the project open in the current tab when another tab switches projects.

- Sports Calendar
- Calendar results refresh when you reopen the panel or return to the browser tab, while previously loaded events remain visible during loading.

- Custom Blocks
- Inactive custom blocks no longer appear in the editor’s block picker.

- Login and Language Handling
- Fixed the legacy sign-in screen getting stuck after an unsuccessful sign-in attempt.
- Fixed new CMS screens freezing for Bulgarian-language profiles when a saved language preference is missing.

- Loading and Update Recovery
- Failed CMS module loads now provide a Reload option instead of leaving a blank screen.
- Improved consistency between CMS application files during deployments.

For Developers:​

- New Articles List Configuration
- Availability is controlled per project through the article_list_v2 feature configuration.

- Session Retry Behaviour
- Eligible v2 save, delete, and restore requests retry after successful session renewal. Bulk Start operations remain excluded and require a manual retry.
