This version of Mealie contains a whole bunch of new features and bug fixes, including first-time contributions from 9 users (and a new bot)! Check out the highlights below 👇

🎉 Highlights

• When importing a recipe, you can now import the original URL’s categories (similar to how you can import tags) (#6523)

• You can now use custom OpenAI prompts to overwrite the ones included with Mealie. Check out the docs for more info on how to do this (#6588)

• We’ve migrated our OpenAI implementation to use structured outputs. This means much better support for modern models, which previously didn’t support the legacy JSON mode (#6964)

• You can now add a full range of dates from the meal planner to your shopping list, instead of adding one day at a time (#6981):

  

🚨 Breaking changes

There is a minor breaking change in #6781: GET requests to /api/households/invitations are now locked to admins only. This doesn’t change the invitation flow for users, as requests using a particular invitation are unaffected. Check out the PR for more details.
