-// There is also a "[.img_border_dark]" class which tends to work best with screenshots that are taken on dark

 The 25.0.0.4 release introduces support for Java 24 and expands InstantOn capabilities to include J2EEManagement, AppClientSupport, and WsSecurity. It also enables Liberty audit logs to be exported to OpenTelemetry using MicroProfile Telemetry 2.0 for unified observability.
