+
+## Improving Enact Browser UX
+
+The user experience of a web browser is important because it directly affects how users interact with the internet and websites. In this release, we enhanced usability, performance, and efficiency of the browser.
+
+- Support 'pinch-to-zoom' feature in the content area of a webview on touch screen.
+- Add the 'Reset to Default Settings' option in the "Settings" page.
+- Support custom user agent per domain to fix loading issue from the web server.
+
+## Enhancing Audio Environment 
+
+### Audio Pre-processing Effect Chain
+
+From this version, webOS OSE supports multiple audio processing simultaneously. Developers can apply multiple audio pre-processing algorithms (such as beamforming, Echo Cancellation Noise Reduction (ECNR)).
+
+### Bass Enhancement
+
+Base enhancement algorithms and APIs are supported to provide a better audio experience. See [com.webos.service.audio]({{< relref "com-webos-service-audio" >}}).
+
+## Upgrading Qt
+
+Qt has been upgraded from v6.5.2 to v6.6.0 to improve graphics performance and stability. For more details about Qt, see the [official blog post](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.6-released).

-App ID, e.g. "com.newco.app.myapp". Every app has a unique ID, formed from reverse DNS naming conventions. App Bar uses the ID to uniquely identify your application and displays it with the title. The application ID is unique, set once, and cannot be changed after publishing the application.

-- Start the ID with the reverse domain of company/institution. (Recommended)
-- For app developers, the ID cannot start with the following reverse domain names: com.palm, com.webos, com.lge, com.palmdts. We recommend that platform developers who implement built-in apps and services can only use those names.
-- Finish the ID with subdomain app.app-name. (Recommended)
-- The ID **must** consist only of lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), minus signs, and periods. It must be at least two characters long and must start with an alphanumeric character.
