+* Feature: Added support for showing fields as "Read Only" in forms when a user does not have edit access to them while allowing admins to continue editing them. You can find this under the Edit Field modal in Advanced > Visibility > UI Access. (@sc0ttkclark)

+* Enhancement: New replacements within Pods shortcodes clauses for replacing `__LESS_THAN__`, `__LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL__`, `__GREATER_THAN__`, and `__GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL__` with their corresponding `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=` characters to work around broken WP shortcodes. This is also available in the `[if]` Pods template shortcode `compare` attribute. #7451 #7482 (@sc0ttkclark)

+* Enhancement: PodsUI > Move restricted() checks before callbacks to prevent additional unnecessary calls when user doesn't have access. (@sc0ttkclark)

+* Enhancement: Add Manage link to the Navigate section of the Pods content admin forms. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Enhancement: Underlying code support for multiple condition checks for Conditional Logic. (@sc0ttkclark)

+* Tweak: Pods now follows WP Admin Theme color schemes more closely using dynamic CSS color references to the scheme colors. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Shortcode unit test issue resolved. #7472 #7473 (@devlamconstructie, @sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Loading a form with WYSIWYG React Quill used as Repeatable fields now loads without breaking the editor. #7465 #7487 (@faisalahammad, @sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Resolved reordering of values for Repeatable Date/Time, Currency, and Number fields. #7471 #7486 (@faisalahammad, @sc0ttkclark)

+* Fixed: The default storage type for Settings is set to `option` when creating as it should have been. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: When using repeatable fields on a Pod that uses Table-based storage, a notice now shows explaining that it's not an available feature. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Better support when values are sent as WP_Error and now show appropriate errors in save_pod_item validation handling. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Resolve heredoc issue with Migrate PHP component. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: WordPress 7.0 compatibility issues fixed. (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Fixed: Conditional logic now works properly for Boolean Group sub fields (used in Edit Field modal and other Pods Admin areas). (@sc0ttkclark)
+* Extensive cleanup to resolve important WP Plugin Checker results, PHPCS, and PHPStan issues across the codebase. (@sc0ttkclark)
