-### New Features 🎉
 
-* Add Ruby 4.0 support by @bastelfreak in https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-server/pull/107

-* Update dependencies by @nmburgan in https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-server/pull/105
-* Add Ubuntu 25.10 support by @bastelfreak in https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-server/pull/138
-    * Note: This is for test builds, and not part of the officially supported set of platforms for OpenVox at this time.
