- New project VocaluxeWeb: ASP.NET Core 2.3 (Kestrel) on .NET Framework 4.8.1, HTTP or HTTPS
with a self-signed certificate, REST API (/api/v1) with Swagger, live events (Server-Sent Events)

- Admin: settings, server status, logged-in devices, activate/deactivate and delete profiles
- Profile pictures: own photo or one of the Vocaluxe avatars
- Game: WebApp queue screen (song options, playlist group) to start the next song with the chosen
singers, return to it after singing, warning when the webserver is off, remote keyboard
- Old WCF server, WebserverInitalConfig and URL reservations removed; libraries moved to libs/managed
- Unit tests for PIN hashing, settings and permissions, queue order and device names
- AppVeyor: Visual Studio 2022 image and Node.js 24 (the build compiles the WebApp)
- Documentation in VocaluxeWeb/README.md
* New WebApp (Vue 3, TypeScript, Vite) replacing the old jQuery Mobile website
- Login with profile and PIN, create profiles
- Songs with search, filters, sorting and 30 second previews
- Queue: add songs with game mode, audio and singers, edit, reorder, start in the game
- Playlists: create, edit, add to the queue
- Now playing with live updates, remote control and keyboard
- Players: own profile with picture (photo or Vocaluxe avatar), roles for admins
- Admin settings: permissions, server status, devices, profiles

- More than six modes are split into pages
- Icons for Challenge and Tic-Tac-Toe and a general icon for modes without their own
- Fixes the number of players shown for modes with a fixed number of players
* Highlight Sing and Party in the main menu
- Sing and Party are shown as two large buttons side by side above the other buttons
