Highlights

• Added configurable default node configuration for the new mod_pubsub.
• Fixed HTTP authentication handling for unexpected service response codes.
• Fixed C2S listener shutdown handling.
• Migrated the documentation build setup to Zensical.
• Removed the deprecated mod_muc_light legacy mode and its XEP-0045 compatibility codec.

Added

• Added modules.mod_pubsub.default_node_config.access_model and modules.mod_pubsub.default_node_config.max_items, allowing deployments to choose default configuration for newly created PEP nodes (#4767)

Changed

• Upgraded CETS to 0.3.2, fixing a long-running retry loop when multiple nodes tried to join at once and failed to acquire the global lock (#4762)
• Migrated the documentation build setup to Zensical (#4763, #4771, #4775, #4776)

Fixed

• HTTP authentication now rejects operations cleanly when the auth service returns unexpected status codes, such as 500 or 503, instead of crashing with a case_clause error (#4764)
• Fixed C2S listener shutdown issues (#4770)

Removed

• Removed the deprecated legacy_mode option from mod_muc_light, together with the legacy XEP-0045 compatibility codec (#4754)
