  • ⚠️ Potential Breaking Changes **Added support for importing data in the background ([#26914](https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/26914))**
  • Potential breaking change: The app UI has been shrunk to 90% of its previous size. Extensions that rely on hardcoded px values or the old 14px root font-size may render incorrectly — all app sizing now uses rem based on the 16px browser default.
