User experience
---------------
Matrix: `#searxng:matrix.org <https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org>`_
- Huge update of the simple theme:
* usable on desktop, tablet and mobile
* light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
* support right-to-left languages
- the translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- the preferences page has been updated:
* you can see which engines are reliable or not
* engines are grouped inside each tab
* each engine has a description
- it is easier to report a bug of an engine
- but you can also disable the recording of the metrics on the server
Setup
-----
- the Docker image is now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
- you don't need `Morty`_ to proxy the images even on a public instance
- on the way to embed `Filtron`_ into SearXNG
- up to date installation scripts
Contributing is easier
----------------------
- readable debug log
- contributions to the themes are made easier, check out our `Development
Quickstart`_ guide
- a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes
- the dependencies are up to date
