February 2026 monthly summary for pretix/pretix: Implemented a Safari WebKit cookie partitioning mitigation to stabilize SSO across Safari versions. Added a UA-based guard to disable the Partitioned attribute when the client is Safari, addressing multi-hop redirect issues and known WebKit bugs. The change is isolated, with documentation and references to WebKit bug IDs.
