This changelog will be used from now on to document changes in a precise manner, with a list of changes for each setting version.
Setting versions are documented using the pref `librewolf.cfg.version`, available in about:config.
# 6.10
# 7.0
**target commit**:
**base librewolf version**: 104.x
**base librewolf version**: 105.x
**References**:
- [enable APS](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1530#issuecomment-1242850653);
- trim unnecessary or default NTP prefs, tidy existing ones;
- stick to default session restore interval for writes;
- remove a bunch of default prefs that have been that way for the longest;
- offer accessibility by default.
