  6. Added support for custom OIDC (OpenID Connect) settings to integrate DSM with external SSO servers.
  7. Added support for the RTF editor to allow users to preview notification message content and style in real-time when editing.
  8. Added support for bypass traverse checking at Control Panel > File Services > Advanced to allow users to traverse folders and access permitted files or subfolders.
  9. Supports specifying domains from the list of trusted domains to synchronize domain data.
