The 5.2.0 release is a significant update that includes a native search solution, support for custom text editors, and various usability, scalability, and performance improvements.

Key features include:

1 Native Search Solution:

• Two main extensibility points: an interface for indexing module content and an interface for creating custom Search Providers.
• Default Search Provider uses a standard inverted index stored in the Oqtane tenant database (supports SQL Server, MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL) and requires no additional infrastructure.

2 Custom Text Editors:

• New extensibility model for creating and integrating custom text editors.
• Default editor based on QuillJS (version 1.3.7) with an alternate TextArea editor included for demonstration.

3 Framework Updates:

• Upgraded to the latest .NET SDK 8.0.7, which includes security patches.
• Updated critical dependencies: System.Text.Json and ImageSharp, to the latest secure versions.

The project has seen over 2499 pull requests from 57 contributors, published 45 official releases, and is one of the most active open-source projects within the .NET Foundation. The 5.2.0 release is available for download on Github and is in production on several websites.
