## What's new
### Other features
* Add custom permissions section to permissions documentation page (Dan Hayden)
* Wagtail's documentation (v2.9 to v4.0) has been updated on [Dash user contributions](https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions) for [Dash](https://kapeli.com/dash) or [Zeal](https://zealdocs.org/) offline docs applications (Damilola Oladele, (Mary Ayobami)
* Switch to using [Willow](https://github.com/wagtail/Willow/) instead of Pillow for images (Darrel O'Pry)
### Bug fixes
* Make sure workflow timeline icons are visible in high-contrast mode (Loveth Omokaro)
* Ensure authentication forms (login, password reset) have a visible border in Windows high-contrast mode (Loveth Omokaro)
* Ensure visual consistency between buttons and links as buttons in Windows high-contrast mode (Albina Starykova)
* Ensure `ChooserBlock.extract_references` uses the model class, not the model string (Alex Tomkins)
## Upgrade considerations
### Wagtail-specific image field (`WagtailImageField`)
The `AbstractImage` and `AbstractRendition` models use a Wagtail-specific `WagtailImageField` which extends Django's `ImageField`
to use [Willow](https://github.com/wagtail/Willow/) for image file handling. This will generate a new migration if you
are using a [custom image model](custom_image_model)
