 ### Changed
 - **Breaking:** Elixir >=1.9 is now required (was >= 1.8)
+- **Breaking:** Configuration: `:auto_linker, :opts` moved to `:pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter`. Old config namespace is deprecated.
 - In Conversations, return only direct messages as `last_status`
 - Using the `only_media` filter on timelines will now exclude reblog media
 - MFR policy to set global expiration for all local Create activities

 - Admin API: fix `GET /api/pleroma/admin/users/:nickname/credentials` returning 404 when getting the credentials of a remote user while `:instance, :limit_to_local_content` is set to `:unauthenticated`
 - Fix CSP policy generation to include remote Captcha services
 - Fix edge case where MediaProxy truncates media, usually caused when Caddy is serving content for the other Federated instance.
+- Emoji Packs could not be listed when instance was set to `public: false`
