Hi Alexander,

The new frontend was implemented in March 2025, and has several new
features as the favorite-button, and a translatable interface. The backend
also received an update, in December 2024. The best way to reach our
developers for your Montage bug reports is through this Github page:
https://github.com/hatnote/montage/issues

Best,
Ciell
