It's been roughly a month since my last post on #CritterChat so I figure it's time for another update post! Here's the changes since then:

- Private group conversations are now supported including a room invite system!
- Introduced privacy settings so users can control whether they're seachable or invitable on an instance.
- Several usability tweaks, several UI layout tweaks, several small bug fixes (none big enough to warrant their own call-out)
- Emoji updates including a few missing emojis as well as an entirely new country flag section
- A few new UI features for administration
- A bunch of backend tests have been written, a bunch of refactoring has been done to enable easier maintainability
- Fixed incompatibility with Python 3.13 and 3.14

All in all not that much changed compared to the last update.
