Summary

This release includes a few enhancements for existing features, but the major changes are in the dependencies. Ghostwriter is now updated to Django v5.2. The most noticeable change is the switch to a fork of the docxtpl library. This change introduces a several upstream performance enhancements that will significantly reduce report generation time. In testing, a report with a 2,000 row table generated in under two seconds.

    • Preserves formatted comments, inserts operation log output as code blocks, and keeps linked evidence with matching {{.ref ...}} lines
    • Formats commands as inline code and user context as italic text in inserted narrative lines
