+
+## Major release: Enhanced feedback collection
+
+- **Major improvement**: Readers can now give more detailed feedback after selecting *thumbs up/down*, including options and written comments. You can also collect feedback on code blocks and view all responses in your dashboard analytics.  
+  _Note: Contact us to enable this feature for your site._
+
+## Navigation and quality of life improvements
+
+- Quality of life improvement to ignore trailing slashes and double slashes so you don't have to worry about getting them exactly right in your docs.json
+- You can now add a `noAnchor` attribute to your `h1-6` HTML tags to avoid them having an anchor link
+- The Palm theme now has a floating language selector in the bottom left similar to Stripe's approach
+- Added a new field to the docs.json called [`drilldown`](https://mintlify.com/docs/navigation#enable-auto-navigation-for-groups) which allows you to control whether or not users are navigated to the first page in a navigation group when the group is expanded 
+- Quality of life improvement to make nested ordered lists alternate styles from decimal/Roman to alpha  
+
+## Bug fixes and reliability
+
+- Fixed a bug where scroll position anchor links weren't working correctly when there were JS components on a page
+- Fixed a bug where Google was indexing raw `*.md` files because they were missing a `x-robots-tag noindex` header
+- Fixed a bug with OAuth on protected docs where it wouldn't redirect you back to your starting page once you completed the flow successfully
+- Fixed a bug on previews of auth protected docs where you weren't able to see the entire navigation bar
+- Bug fixes to how SVGs are handled with our new image CDN  
+
+## Component and styling enhancements
+
+- Added a new CSS selector for custom styles on `SidebarNavGroupDivider`  
+- New regression tests for MDX defined API pages that have security defined on them will ensure a greater degree of stability
+
+## Performance improvements
+
+- Performance improvement by moving the KaTeX CSS from cdnjs to our own CDN on Cloudfront for reduced latency
+

 ## Performance and build optimizations
 
 - MDX transpilation now happens at deployment time instead of on every page load in uncached NextJS serverless environments, improving time to first byte for uncached pages.
 - Content-based hashing prevents re-transpilation when MDX hasn't changed, reducing update workflow times by ~50% for customers with large page counts (deployments over 5 minutes should be roughly halved)
 - Preview deployment viewing in the dashboard is now faster with added database indexes and query parallelization in our backend
 - Reduced page size by eliminating duplicate `navigation` data in each page's `rsc` payload—performance gains most noticeable with high page counts or complex navigation structures
 - More aggressive prefetching enables instant page loads more frequently

 - Fixed `Ctrl+K` link shortcut in monorepo dashboard Editor that was prepending docs repo path and creating broken links
