**Phoenix is now officially supported on Debian/Ubuntu & Android!** 🎉 Huge thank you to @Gnu1 for their incredible work, time, and assistance in making this Debian release possible. 💜

**Debian/Ubuntu** users can now install Phoenix simply by using the [unified installation script](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix#install). **Android** users should see [here](https://phoenix.celenity.dev/android) for installation steps & more details.

**I'd also like to officially announce a brand new community [Matrix Space](https://matrix.to/#/#phoenix:unredacted.org) *(Recommended)* and [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/AMZ2GRxxjr)**! Feel free to join if you'd like to discuss Phoenix, need support, have any questions or concerns, would like to help with development... or simply want to chat. :)

* Fixed IPv6 connectivity issues when DNS over HTTPS is enabled by setting `network.dns.preferIPv6` to `true`. - https://codeberg.org/divested/brace/pulls/5

* Enabled Geoclue for GNU/Linux users, so that that they can rely on the Geolocation service their distribution is using, which may be preferable over BeaconDB (our current provider). **BeaconDB is still used as a fallback in such cases**. Geoclue can be disabled by setting `geo.provider.use_geoclue` in your `about:config` to `false`.

* Disabled middle mouse clicks from pasting clipboard content by default, as it's far too easy to accidentally press & unintentionally paste content *(Which can potentially be sensitive...)*, by setting `middlemouse.paste` to `false`. You can re-enable middle mouse clicks pasting clipboard content by setting `middlemouse.paste` in your `about:config` to `true`, **though this is not recommended**.

* Fixed issues opening HTML files by removing the `network.buffer.cache.count` & `network.buffer.cache.size` prefs - https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/279.

* Set `apz.overscroll.enabled` to `true` by default to enhance smooth scrolling. You can revert this change by setting `apz.overscroll.enabled` to `false` in your `about:config`.

* Spellcheck is now enabled for both single-line **and** multi-line text boxes by default. To revert to Firefox's default behavior of only checking single-line text boxes, change `layout.spellcheckDefault` to `1` in your `about:config`. https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/issues/33

* Introduced a new [specialized config](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix#specialized-configs) for Element.

* Disabled [Network Error Logging](https://w3c.github.io/network-error-logging/) by setting `network.http.network_error_logging.enabled` to `false`.

* Various other minor tweaks, fixes, & enhancements.
