To restore a complete release record, this roundup also includes 49 initial stable and beta releases that were publicly available from package registries in July but weren’t listed in the July post because several release-data updates hadn’t merged. Public package availability, rather than release-data pull request status, determines inclusion.<\/p>\n

Release highlights<\/h2>\n

Document Translation 2.0.0<\/a><\/h3>\n
