 ### Changed
 
+- **breaking** PleromaFE login feature relies on `admin` scope presence in PleromaFE token (older versions of PleromaFE don't support it)
 - Moves emoji pack configuration from the main menu to settings tab, redesigns it and fixes bugs
 - `mailerEnabled` must be set to `true` in order to require password reset (password reset currently only works via email)
 - Remove fetching initial data for configuring server settings
