July 2026: Nextcloud Cookbook delivered key features, major fixes, and improvements focused on release hygiene, security hardening, and developer productivity. Consolidated release management to produce a clean release history: version bumped to 0.11.8, dependencies updated, package-lock stabilized for Node v22 compatibility, and changelog entries harmonized across the release. Implemented security hardening by refactoring DownloadHelper to use Nextcloud's internal HTTP client with corresponding security changelog updates. Stabilized core flows by fixing a regression in the recipe location update flow and documenting Pinia migration notes for recipe locations. Strengthened code quality and CI reliability through PHP compatibility fixes, code style improvements, frontend formatting alignment with Prettier, and test stabilization. These efforts reduce release risk, improve security posture, and enable faster, safer delivery of new features.
