ReleasePort's take

Light signal
editorial:auto 10d

The Docker image for Nexterm has been repointed from `germannewsmaker/nexterm:latest` to `nexterm/aio:latest`. Multiple new features and fixes are included in this release.

Why it matters: Deployments must update their Docker pull configuration to the new `nexterm/aio:latest` image; otherwise they will receive an older, unsupported version. No other measurable trigger is present.
