+Release 4.9.0 (December 22, 2022)
+
+
+ Wt 4.9.0 features a lot of changes under the covers: we have painstakingly removed jQuery from Wt,
+ modernized the JavaScript, and added a linter, formatter, and a new minifier in the process.
+
+
+
+ A more directly noticeable change is the fact that we gave the documentation a new lick of paint using the
+ Doxygen Awesome theme. Also, now that we added some tooling to customize WBootstrap5Theme, the
+ widget gallery's
+ primary color was updated to be more in line with Wt's website.
