Due to some major changes, backup functionality has become incompatible with the previous versions. Data backup feature is still considered experimental and please do not rely on it to manage your backups yet. If you encounter any problem, please report to me without hesitation.

Compatibility for blocking rules is removed for v2.5.6. If you're still using this version, update to v2.5.13, enable global component blocking (and disable it again) and then update to v2.5.14.
App Manager can now be translated at Weblate*!

Visit https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/app-manager

* App Manager Docs can still be translated at Crowdin as Weblate doesn’t have any support for Markdown texts.
* No new languages or strings will be added at Crowdin (again, App Manager Docs will remain unaffected) and existing translations will be kept until full switch is made
