+### ✨ Overview & highlights
+
+#### 🗄️ OSS server upgrades
+Our OSS server has server has received some attention this version. And now supports properties, layers and blueprint datasets to name a few.
+
+#### 🟦 more blueprint properties
+The viewer is now even more configurable via blueprints. With more options for time series, bar chart, graph views, time panel, and the 3D view. With the latter now having the option to control the 3D eye position and look target.

+#### ⌨🖱️User Interface improvements
+We’ve changed the interaction of the time panel! Now the top bar is only for making selections, while the bottom panel is for moving the time cursor. Hold down shift for snap-to-grid! You can also click on events now to select them.
+
+https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3cabd74c-8227-4e9d-bd42-fdff36f0466e
+
+You can now also use just a keyboard to navigate in panels with trees (blueprint / streams / recordings).
