Work completed in the last couple of weeks (and the end of last year)
Welcome to 2024!
We finished the year strong, adding issue and PR templates! If you make any contributions going forward, please fill out the templates as completely as you can, it really helps us get a feel for what state your contribution is in so we can get stuck straight into helping to get things completed.
We also fixed some bugs and continued work on silverstripe/linkfield.

Focus for the next couple of weeks
