New functionality added to Odoo
This update lets administrators define custom fields that automatically calculate their values from a configured formula snippet. It makes Odoo more flexible for business-specific data tracking while improving how these fields are set up and displayed.

Users can now type @ in a mail message to search for and insert contacts directly into the conversation. This makes it easier to involve the right people while composing messages and improves collaboration in Odoo's mail features.

Enhancements to existing features
This update makes form screens less confusing by using placeholder text in several form titles and hiding completion or cancellation buttons for CRM next actions while a record is being edited. This helps prevent accidental clicks and misleading activity logs, improving day-to-day usability for affected teams.

Website and communication assets now use a more direct content delivery path, which should make pages and embedded resources simpler to serve and maintain. A new public setting for attachments helps control which files can be accessed publicly, while startup logging is reduced unless errors or debug mode require it.
Projects can now be created and used without automatically requiring a default task stage, making setup more flexible for teams with simpler workflows. The update also prevents the project Kanban view from crashing when tasks have no stage assigned.

The barcode module now exposes the list of reserved barcode prefixes used for software actions. This helps other barcode-related screens and customizations recognize those special barcodes consistently, reducing duplicated logic and improving maintainability.

Odoo improves how administrators enable, disable, and manage languages, making translation setup easier to control. It also adds warnings when users edit fields that can be translated, helping prevent accidental translation-related changes.
