Upgrade Notices

• PHP Version Requirement Change - The minimum supported PHP version has changed from PHP 8.1 to PHP 8.2 in this release. Please see our "Updating PHP & Composer" documentation page for guidance on updating PHP where needed.
• Sorting - Basic sort order changes for chapters and pages will no longer affect the "updated" time for these items. Wider changes during sorting (moving to a new parent) will still increment the "updated" time.
• Theme System - A public/ folder within an active theme folder will now be exposed for public access. If for some reason you already have such a folder that you don't want exposed, rename it before upgrading.
