+At times, when anti-democratic and anti-human sentiments are reaching a new high around the world, it is more important than ever to realize what’s at stake and to act, each of us in their capacity.
+
+As the Kirby team, we not only see it as our responsibility as individuals, but also as a company to take a clear stance in favor of a diverse society and a free democracy. And not only with the power of words, but also financially. Starting today, for every purchased license, we will donate 1 Euro to the [Amadeu Antonio Foundation](https://www.amadeu-antonio-stiftung.de/en/) for their work on reinforcing a democratic civil society. If you want, you can match our donation during the checkout process.
+

+
+In the same line, the [role of robots.txt](https://www.theverge.com/24067997/robots-txt-ai-text-file-web-crawlers-spiders) to keep out unwanted crawlers.
+
+The discussion about merge commits is not new. However, here are strong reasons [why (large) companies avoid merge commits](https://graphite.dev/blog/why-ban-merge-commits).

+[Indigo](https://indigostack.app/) is a new Mac app that provides a local development environment, still in beta testing phase, though.

+Forms are hard, making them accessible even more so. Here's a short guide [how to indicate mandatory fields in an accessible way](https://www.tpgi.com/doing-whats-required-indicating-mandatory-fields-in-an-accessible-way/).
+
+As a general rule, you should never [prevent forms being filled by password managers](https://www.stefanjudis.com/snippets/turn-off-password-managers/), in fact, this is also required by the [WCAG Accessible Authentication criterion](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#accessible-authentication-minimum).

+Only two weeks after the last Kosmos episode, here we are again. But there's are good reasons for this, and that's not only our sale… but read on…
+
+
+## Time for our Spring sales
+
+It's spring again, and thus time for our sale. From today until March 25th, 2024, save 20% on all our Kirby licenses (Basic and Enterprise), and also including volume packages.

+[Buy your license(s) now!](https://getkirby.com/buy)
+
+
+## Kirby CLI
+
+
+The [Kirby CLI](https://github.com/getkirby/cli/releases/tag/1.4.0) is out in version 1.4.0 and in addition to some general enhancements, this release comes with a big bunch of cool new commands:
+
+*   `⬆️ kirby upgrade` 
+*   `📦 kirby backup` 
+*   `🔓 kirby clear:lock` 
+*   `🧹 kirby clear:logins`

+*   `🌐 kirby make:language` 
+*   `🤖 kirby plugin:install`  
+*   `🗑️ kirby plugin:remove` 
+*   `🎉 kirby plugin:upgrade` 
+
+
+## Kirby 4.1.2
+
+
+Last week, we released [Kirby 4.1.2](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/4.1.2) and it's all about bug fixes. If you are not affected by any of the bugs we fixed, there is of course no need to update.

+[Panel tricks: Let's build a bookmark tool](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC9Up05WVnI)
+Basti shows how to use table layout and a customized page creation dialog to build a categorized and searchable link collection in the Panel.
+
+[Models: Superpowers for your pages](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5DS2njIvDs) 
+This one picks up where the bookmark tool screencast ends. As the title suggests, it's all about page models and how to use them to improve our bookmark tool even more.
+
+
+## Kirby plugins
+
+[Kirby SEO Audit](https://kirbyseo.com/) brings the power of Yoast SEO to a Kirby Panel section. Improve your content and boost your rankings by checking your pages for SEO issues.
+
+
+## Kirby docs
+
+We overhauled our docs to (hopefully) make it easier to find your way around:
+
+*   We removed the overview page from the [guide](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide), so you can jump right in.
+*   Each guide page got a prev/next navigation at the end, so you can navigate between pages.
+*   We moved shorter cookbook recipes to the new [Quicktips](https://getkirby.com/docs/quicktips) section which has a separate entry in the main menu.
+*   The [Cookbook](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook) now looks a lot more inviting with a bit of color, a condensed overview, improved categories and additional tagging.
+*   We introduced [tabbed sections](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/quickstart#installing-kirby) that allow us to condense content where appropriate for a better overview.
+*   We moved some stuff out of the cookbook and into the guide to keep things that belong together together.
+
+These are first steps in an attempt to consolidate stuff that has grown over the years. More to come in the near future.
+
+
+
+## This & That
+
+Heise Online published a very [favorable introductory article about Kirby](https://www.heise.de/ratgeber/Kirby-4-vs-WordPress-Was-das-flexible-CMS-besser-macht-9642526.html) (in German and behind a paywall).
+
+A trivial performance optimization to help speed up third-party or other-origin requests is to [`preconnect` them](https://csswizardry.com/2023/12/correctly-configure-preconnections/): hint that the browser should preemptively open a full connection (DNS, TCP, TLS) to the origin in question.

+
+The [MDN Curriculum](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/curriculum/) is now available on MDN. It provides an important tool for everyone learning front-end development, and also for those teaching it.
