+While the summer slump usually means that almost all publications are
+full of nonsensical articles to fill the virtual void, we have some great
+and important stuff for you.
+
+So here's what's been happening in the Kirbyverse lately.... (in case you
+missed it on our other channels).
+
+
+## Security releases
+
+We received a number of security reports from three security researchers
+in June and July. They required more work and backward fixes for older
+versions of Kirby. If you are affected by any of these security issues,
+we recommend that you update your Kirby installations:
+
+You can find all about the issues in our [3.9.6 release notes](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/3.9.6), and yesterday we added another [patch release 3.9.6.1](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/3.9.6.1) that adds a
+config option to set the Panel frame policy.
+
+We also provide patch releases for 3.8, 3.7, 3.6 and 3.5:

+
+## Kirby 4 Alpha 5
+
+With the fifth alpha of Kirby 4, we add the most substantial visual
+changes to Kirby since version 3, with the new sidebar probably being the
+most notable change, but check out all the features of the cool new
+design yourself on our [Kirby 4 release page](https://getkirby.com/releases/4.0).

+
+## Kirby plugins
+
+The [Kirby Usage Reference](https://github.com/visionbites/kirby-usage-reference) plugin provides an info section to display all references to a page or a file in a list.
+
+[Kirby Contentsync](https://github.com/zephir/kirby-contentsync): Kirby 3 plugin to synchronize content from the server to your local development environment.

+
+
+## Kirby articles
+
+Although this article is already 2 years old, it's still valid and summarizes the different ways to [implement logic in Kirby](https://fvsch.com/kirby-logic). Must-read for beginners;)
+
+For those of you who want to deploy Kirby on Azure, [this article](https://madafa.de/blog/kirby-cms-auf-azure-bereitstellen) explains how to do it and how to overcome the pitfalls (in German, but hey, we have translation tools).
+
+
+## Frontend
+
+Harry Roberts explains the usefulness of the [DOMContentLoaded metric](https://csswizardry.com/2023/07/in-defence-of-domcontentloaded/) in the context of deferred JavaScript loading.
+
+[Large DOM sizes](https://web.dev/articles/dom-size-and-interactivity) have more of an effect on interactivity than you might think. This guide explains why, and what you can do.
+
+Labels (word, phrases that represent larger bits of information) add structure to your website and content. Good labelling, however, can be hard. In [How to write good labels](https://jarango.com/2023/07/10/how-to-write-good-labels/), Jorge Arango has some tips.
+
+[Neat CSS trick](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/50dn9OkbyRY) to quickly find all missing alt attributes of images in a web page, a common accessibility problem even in 2023.
+
+HTML best practices for [login & sign-up forms](https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/html-best-practices-for-login-and-signup-forms) summarizes important HTML technologies to improve your form UX (not only for login forms).
+
+Ahmad Shadeed introduces us to the new [small, large, and dynamic viewport units](https://ishadeed.com/article/new-viewport-units/).
+
+
+## PHP
+
+[NativePHP](https://nativephp.com) is a new framework for building rich, native desktop applications using PHP. Currently, an alpha release, and only supports a Laravel driver, but a project well worth watching.
+
+

+
+[DocuSeal](https://www.docuseal.co/) allows to create, fill, and sign digital documents. An open-source, self-hosted alternative to DocuSign or PandaDoc.
