What shipped
- The redesigned Media Library is now the default for everyone in version 5.54.0 after months of development. Release
- The beta notice has been removed from the new Media Library's asset list. Pull request #27667
- The Media Library grid now displays more columns on wider screens by using an intrinsic track list instead of fixed breakpoints. Pull request #27711
- The Media Library now works for roles without `settings.read` permission by gating `GET /upload/settings` on `plugin::upload.read` instead. Pull request #27687
- Private upload providers now store unsigned URLs in richtext and blocks fields to avoid presigned URL expiration issues. Pull request #27593

- Expired access tokens no longer trigger a logout; the next request now refreshes the token transparently. Pull request #27424
- The document-id migration for large localized tables has been optimized to complete in minutes instead of hours. Pull request #27404
- Custom GraphQL resolvers now correctly preserve draft-and-publish relations instead of returning null. Pull request #27462

Why it matters
The new Media Library is now default, bringing performance improvements and broader permission support. Several fixes address long-standing issues with relations, authentication, and large migrations. Token audit logging and custom AI providers add operational visibility and extensibility.
