Inevitably, we look everywhere, test a thousand times, and then a small typing error creeps into the well-oiled cogs and so this morning a small maintenance version with some light visible effect.
Yes, again :-)
PS: You should use safe-mode (as described in previous post) if you upgrade from 2.27.3 or lower version.

The new version for the festive season.
We strongly recommend that you perform the update in rescue mode, which will then allow you to update the plugins that need updating.
If some plugins have no updates available, we advise you to temporarily deactivate them (in rescue mode) and then check their operation one by one (one re-activation at a time) in normal mode.
If you have trouble logging in after the update, delete the associated cookies before refreshing the login page.
It's essentially the internal code (the engine) that has been modernized, something we had already started with the latest Dotclear 2.27 and which is now complete, at least for the PHP code. We'll now be able to concentrate on new functionalities; more on that when the time comes.
On the visible side, we've added full support for the Avif format for images, alongside the already-supported JPEG, WebP, PNG and Gif, and we've fixed a number of small, more or less annoying bugs.
Don't forget the forum if you have any difficulties (comments are not for that), and in the case of more technical problems we may advise you to open a ticket.
