(This is a changelog to show what we are cooking for you. When you see 🧑‍🍳 it means we are working on it, this is not yet done)

Note 1: In the lists below, when we refer to English or any other lang, it means not only the monolingual English dictionary benefits of the said improvements & fixes, but also all bilingual dictionaries using English as the destination lang (like ES-EN, KO-EN, etc.).

Note 2: With every update comes a bag of improvements & fixes in words definitions & etymologies for all langs. Those are changes directly applied on the Wiktionary by thousand of contributors. This is implicit that they are part of our dictionaries.
