Hello again,

Here is your biweekly dose of bugfixes and quality of life improvements! This update offers several new features: VLANs on bridges, "received-on" firewall rule support, persistent rule label tracking, repeatable WireGuard QR codes, menu favourites and full screen grid support. On top of that it bundles the recent FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p3, fixes and cleanups as well as third party updates such as OpenSSL 3.5.8 and OpenSSH 10.5p1. Enjoy. :)

Meanwhile, development is busy with adding interface settings to the new MVC assignments page, which includes building wireless MVC/API support. That is all for now. Need to get back to work.
