+
+This release brings a new table view for browsing your inventory, plus a large round of topology performance work that makes big graphs render faster and use far less memory.
+
+## New Features
+
+- Add a table view to every entity tab, with collapsible sections, tag-style values and consistent columns across hosts, networks, subnets, VLANs, daemons and credentials — it's now the default view, with a toggle to switch back to cards.
+- Apply the topology link-state filter on the server, so filtering large networks by link state is near-instant instead of reloading the whole graph.
+
+## Improvements
+
+- Speed up topology rendering substantially by measuring only the cards and containers that actually need it, reusing measurements across data refreshes, and skipping layouts that never get shown.
+- Cut the memory and DOM weight of every topology node, so large graphs stay responsive while panning and zooming.
+- Keep viewport culling working after the graph rebuilds, so scrolling around a big topology no longer stalls.
+- Preserve expanded container sizes across graph rebuilds and collapse changes, so nodes stop jumping around as you explore.
+- Skip the collapse animation on very large graphs so expanding and collapsing feels immediate.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fix two causes of runaway topology node counts, along with a relayout loop triggered by emptied subcontainers.
+- Fix collapsed containers being sized by guesswork, which produced misaligned and degenerate nodes.
+- Fix container scans saving half-written hosts when discovery failed partway through.
+- Fix partial scans reporting that nothing was recorded when results had in fact been saved.
+- Fix LLDP neighbour discovery missing links on devices that report them without a time mark.
+- Fix ports appearing unlinked when the connection was only reported from one side.
