+  ## Authentication improvements
+
+  - Group-level public access: make entire page groups public via `docs.json` so you don’t need `public: true` on each page ([learn more](https://mintlify.com/docs/authentication-personalization/authentication-setup#group-level))
+  - Support `logoutURL` in OAuth configuration to delete upstream cookies and complete sign-out
+  - On OAuth errors, users are redirected to your specified `logoutURL` to restart the auth flow
+  - Fixed a flash of a 500 error during OAuth/JWT flows before the callback
+  - Auto-strip `https://` from URLs in OAuth/JWT auth configuration to prevent misconfiguration
+
+  ## API playground enhancements
+
+  - New Search API endpoint so you can build agents and MCP servers on top of your docs
+  - `openapi` and `asyncapi` files are now served at their specified paths (e.g. `https://mydocsurl.extension/{openapi-or-file-name}.json`)
+  - You can now use the `x-mint` field in your openapi files to override generated fields, customize preface content, or change endpoint URLs in code samples
+  - `x-mcp` is now `x-mint.mcp` in OpenAPI configurations to control which routes are exposed as MCP tools
+
+  ## Assistant updates
+
+  - Fixed an issue where the action menu (containing options like copy and thumbs up) for older messages disappeared when new ones streamed in
+  - Fixed accessibility of nested `/mcp/...` pages after the hosted MCP servers release from last week
+
+  ## Performance and reliability
+
+  - All image and video assets in your repo are now served at the expected path on your domain (e.g. `/assets/marketing/my-logo.png`)
+  - Email field on login for the Mintlify dashboard now autofocuses so you can start typing immediately
+  - Both custom domains and subdomains in Redis for a performance improvement on navigation load times (~50ms latency reduction)
+  - Added retry logic for PDF exports to improve reliability
+  - Fixed cookie consent popup reappearing after acceptance or dismissal—first selection is now respected
+  - Fixed copying a page to clipboard on Safari by specifying a MIME `type` in `navigator.write`
+
+  ## Technical improvements
+
+  - CLI bugfixes for windows and pnpm, plus CI tests to prevent regressions
+  - Improved our error logging output for greater readability and faster triage
+  - Minor fixes to the broken-link CI action when `contentDirectory` files are missing
+  - Fixed a regression caused by the auth-protected preview fixes from last week where the active tab was not being set correctly in the navigation UI
+  - Fixed theme light background color not being applied to active tab icons
+  - Fixed an issue where changing the auth type in the dashboard would update and then flip back to the previously saved type—now the new selection persists after saving
+  - Internal DX improvements for enterprise customers with custom UI libraries—it's now easier for us to include your components and accommodate requests on shorter timelines
