Compatibility note (added 2026-02-27)

Starting from 2.4.x, the GUI framework was upgraded from Tauri 1.x to Tauri 2.x.
Tauri 2.x dropped Ubuntu 20.04 support, and in practice this may also affect older Debian releases such as Bullseye (Debian 11), depending on glibc/packaging toolchain versions.

If you are on Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian Bullseye, 2.3.x may be the last compatible release series.
