New Modular Blocks System
This update introduces a modular blocks system for LinkStack, replacing the previous hard-coded blocks. You can now add community-made blocks by placing them in the new "blocks" directory, similar to themes.
Blocks are self-contained add-ons that enhance your LinkStack instance, offering new features like buttons, embedded videos, and dynamic feeds. Each block is fully integrated and accessible via the blocks dropdown menu.
If you are a developer and want to make your own block checkout the documentation for the block system and the example block.
Critical security fixes
A severe security vulnerability has been addressed, which previously allowed bad actors to upload malicious files.
Special thanks to @ApoNie for identifying and assisting in resolving this issue.
Improved updater
