Report volume for this release is at or below this plugin’s normal baseline, measured the same way for this release and the ones before it. Every release generates some forum noise; this one is generating no more than usual. That is the absence of a public signal, not evidence the release is fine on your site — pilot it somewhere low-stakes first, with your normal backup routine.
