+- Extend session-only editor drafts to **404 hosts**, preserving the complete unfinished form state when another editor is opened or the dialog is minimized.
+- Complete the Polish translation for **Settings -> Appearance -> Button style** and keep the button-size preference independent from global interface scale.
+- Keep search/filter inputs in compact toolbars no taller than the active button style, including Backends, vhost-style lists, Docker, Logs and Settings search controls.
+- Reuse the vhost Enabled control presentation in 404 hosts, Redirects and Streams so modal enable/disable state is visually consistent.
+- Replace the tall Overview-card checkbox list in Appearance with a compact responsive tile grid; each tile toggles visibility and retains reorder controls.
+- Run time-based upstream-client pool recycling from backend maintenance as well as request dispatch, so an idle backend rotates after its configured age instead of remaining on generation 0 until the next request.
+- Keep SQLite schema 8 and the saved proxy configuration format unchanged; upgrading from 0.26.3 requires no data migration.

+### Retained 0.26.3 release notes
 
 - Make interface scaling truly global: the 70-125% setting now scales the authenticated dashboard, navigation, dialogs, overlays, draft dock and other top-level administration UI consistently. Form fields receive an additional proportional size adjustment so inputs/selects/textarea do not remain visually oversized at low scale or undersized at high scale.
 - Tighten the Overview metric cards so wide dashboards fit more telemetry with less empty vertical space.

 - Replace backend sort text (`A-Z` / `Z-A`) with direction arrows (`↑` / `↓`).
