Version 2 of Lorekeeper brings several new features and improvements, including the integration of the previous modified-main branch and its extensions, the integration of Extensions:Galleries, and the expansion of social media sites available for user authentication. On a technical level, this includes updating Lorekeeper to Laravel 8 (from version 1.x's 5.8); while the impact of this is relatively limited, it has some minor impacts in what methods are used for some tasks.
